Do not fail to read this and think from the age what you are in
I am 67. I have to regret through out my life, since no body sent me this mail, when I was young. All of you, at whatever age you are in now has got a chance. I do not want you all to regret in your life, because, I cannot see you suffering with regret, since I love you all

An autobiography of a middle class man - Chapter 5
I have written in the previous chapters, how my mother was encouraging me in my various activities such as writing stories and composing poems etc. She encouraged me to bring out handwritten magazine in our village and she was the guiding force in its presentation. She even used to suggest that how bold the titles should be, and what colour can be used for them.
After walking up and down four miles a day, you can understand, how tiresome it will be, to do even the home works and study the lessons. Yet, I used to find time for these extra curricular activities, only because of her encouragement.
Even before reaching High school i.e 9th standard, I started participating in public meetings, and staging dramas in school vacation days. My mother was everything to me and I started looking at her as God, and slowly my attachment to Gods and worshiping them was deteriorating.
This is the song I wrote when I was 20 years old about my mother. This was based on the song " yennamellam" rendered by T. M. Sounderrajan in "Maaman magal (?)" based on Sahaanaa Raagam.
In anupallavi, I have mentioned based on the myth that people with great virtue
( புண்ணியம்) will not have rebirth. The emphasis is on "Even after being born to you, if I have rebirth" means I will certainly not have a rebirth, after being your son. In spite of that, if there is a rebirth then let me be only your son again
தெய்வமெல்லாம் ஓர் உருவான அன்னையே
மெய்யெல்லாம் உருக அரி வணங்குகிறேன் - (தெய்வ)
இன்பமெல்லாம் துறந்து, துன்பமெல்லாம் ஏற்று
தியாகங்கள் புரிகின்றாய்: என் வாழ்வையே வகுக்கின்றாய்.
உனக்குப் பிறந்த பின்னும், எனக்கொரு பிறப்பிருந்தால்,
மறு பிறவியிலும் - அந்த, மறு பிறவியிலும்
உனக்கே நான் பிறந்திடவே - (தெய்வ)
கோயில் பல சென்று கோலமுடன் தொழுதாலும்
தெய்வம் தோன்றுமா? தேவருலகம் கிடைக்குமா?
கருங்கல்லின் உருவில்தான் கடவுள் தெரியுமா?
நல்ல கலைஞனின் ஓவியந்தான் கருணை பொழியுமா?
சிரித்துப் பேசும் தெய்வம் நேரில்வரும்பொழுது
சேவிக்க ஊர் வேண்டுமா? வேறு சேவை செய்ய தோன்றுமா? (தெய்வ)

Love and Ego
Once upon a time there was an island
Where all the feelings lived…...
One day there was a storm in the sea and the island was about to get drowned.
Every feeling was scared but love made a boat to escape. Every feeling
boarded the boat ,
Only feeling was left. Love got down to see who it was… it was Ego.
Love tried and tried but ego wasn’t moving also. The water was rising.
Every one asked love to leave him and come in the boat,
But love was made to love. At last all the feelings escape and love dies
with ego on the island….. Love dies because of EGO!
So Kill Ego and Save Love… One Message to our relation:- Arguments
wins the situations but loses the person. So when argue with loved ones,
remember that situations is never more important than your loved ones…...
Sometimes love is for a moment, sometimes love is for a lifetime.
Sometimes a moment is a lifetime.'
Utilisation of resources
Buddha, one day, was in deep thought about the worldly activities and the ways of instilling goodness in human beings. One of his disciples approached him and said humbly " Oh my teacher ! While you are so much concerned about the world and others, why don't you look in to the welfare and needs of your own disciples also."
Buddha : "OK.. Tell me how I can help you"
Disciple : "Master! My attire is worn out and is beyond the decency to wear the same. Can I get a new one, please?"
Buddha found the robe indeed was in a bad condition and needed replacement. He asked the store keeper to give the disciple a new robe to wear on. The disciple thanked Buddha and retired to his room. A while later, he went to his disciple's place and asked him "Is your new attire comfortable? Do you need anything more ?"
Disciple : "Thank you my Master. The attire is indeed very comfortable. I need nothing more"
Buddha : "Having got the new one, what did you do with your old attire?"
Disciple : "I am using it as my bed spread"
Buddha : "Then.. hope you have disposed off your old bed spread"
Disciple : " No.. no.. master. I am using my old bedspread as my window curtain"
Buddha : " What about your old Curtain? "
Disciple : "Being used to handle hot utensils in the kitchen "
Buddha : "Oh.. I see.. Can you tell me what did they do with the old cloth they used in Kitchen "
Disciple : "They are being used to wash the floor. "
Buddha : " Then, the old rug being used to wash the floor...? "
Disciple: " Master, since they were torn off so much, we could not find any better use, but to use as a twig in the oil lamp, which is right now lit in your study room.... "
Buddha smiled in contentment and left for his room.
If not to this degree of utilization, can we at least attempt to find the best use of all our resources at home and in office?
We need to handle wisely, all the resources earth has bestowed us with ….both natural and material so that they can be
saved for the generations to come.

- I have read that, the Vishnu avatar of buddha is different from the Gautama buddha. According to the scriptures, the asuras took the vedas and started doing things according to the vedas and reaped the benefits rendering the devas ineffective! So vishnu took the form of a preacher and went to the asuras and gradually convinved them toi defile the vedas thus bringing about their destruction! This preacher is the Buddha? A good way of ruining from within I must say.

Bilahari
Bilahari, a janya of the 29th mela Dheera Shankarabharanam.
Bilahari is an audava sampoorna raga. While the aarohanam has five notes, the avarohanam is complete with all seven notes.
Aarohanam: S R 2 G3 P D2 S
Avarohanam: S N3 D2 P M1 G3 R2 S
Swaras used are Chatushruti Rishabha, Antara Gandhara, Shudha Madhyamamam (only in avarohanam), Panchamam, Chatushruti Dhaivatam and Kakali Nishadam. Occasionally, Kaishiki Nishadam is used as anya swara (alien note). This makes the raga a Bhashanga raga.
Generally, small nishada or Kaisiki Nishada is used only in sancharas such as:
P D2 N1 P D2 P
The sanchara is a beautiful one and makes the raga soulful.
Jantai prayogas (swaras used in pairs) such as GG, PP, DD are used frequently. The prayoga G P D S N D P helps to bring out the raga chhaya or shade of the raga distinctly while singing the alapana. Careless singing or accidental omission of the note N in the avarohanam immediately brings in the raga Mohanam. Hence, care must be taken to include N in avarohanam always.
This raga is usually featured in the first half of a concert as the sub-main or the second main piece. Step by step development of raga alapana is a must to bring out the rasa.
Veera rasa is attributed to this raga.
This is also known as a morning raga. This popular raga is a favorite of Nadaswara players.
One very popular composition in this raga is 'Ra Ra Venugopala', a swara jati used in early stages of training. Students find it very easy to learn.
This raga resembles the Hindustani raga 'Aliya Bilaval', though this has the note N in the arohana, which is omitted in Bilahari. (Courtesy: Seetha-Narayanan.sulekha.com)
