Never Imagined

So.. I never imagined that one day I would go back to Tanjore Village and live in the huts

Never imagined that one day I would swing on a wooden plank tied to a mango tree and sing all my favourite songs

Never imagined that I put my feet in a temple tank look alike swimming pool and just listen to the sounds of the birds for hours together

Never imagined that I would get this close to the nature hidden from the outside world



Never imagined that I would take a walk on the village streets till my sandals could not take anymore

Never imagined that I would learn the making of a bronze statues

Never imagined that one day I would accompany a potter and make a mud lamp

Never imagined that there is so much skill hidden from the outside world



Never imagined that one day I would eat delicious “Stand idly” with Vadakari

Never imagined that reading a book under a tree shade will give so much pleasure

Never imagined that hanging around the courtyard was so interesting

Never imagined that there is so much peace hidden from the outside world



Never Imagined that I would read Aug 15 1947 news paper

Never imagined that I would one day use the manual phone

Never imagined that I would understand and look at the Tanjore paintings

Never Imagined that there is so much treasure hidden from the outside world



Never Imagined that the noise made by the huge trees was so melodious

Never imagined that I would pluck a rare fruit from a lemon tree

Never Imagined that I would see beautiful mud carvings and stones

Never imagined that India had so much treasure and skill hidden from the outside world



Now I imagine myself here coming again and again

Now I imagine that the best things in life are closer to you

Now I imagine how to lead a peaceful life

I don’t want to imagine that I need to live in the outside world and

I imagine coming back to the same place again and again

So...Life is going to be like this!!!

Have we ever wondered about power of words??

Words are more powerful than thoughts.
Thoughts are many, unending,
Few cross our minds
Few stay for a while and
Few turn into a cloud and rain in the form of words


Any thought which stays with us for more than a day may form into a word and the power of word will manifest into an action.

I feel it all depends on the intensity of the thought process, the more intensely you utter a word the faster it manifests into an action.
Once it manifests into an action - you will realize that this is what once you have asked for ( you remember or don’t)

We seldom understand this concept and talk about destiny etc but destiny is all about your actions…words…thoughts of past..( reverse gear)

Let me take an example, a negative one for a quick understanding ..– “Curse and blessing”…this comes in all forms…we think that this used to exist before during sages period etc but the fact is it does exist everywhere within us as well

WE must have heard about curses in olden days- once the word is uttered then there is no taking back , the power it carries with it is immense and will take a form of action. People search for alternate remedies for it

The same amount of frustration if not expressed will definitely effect the other person on a mental level but never takes a form.( telepathy – not sure :))

Same is the case for blessings- You need to utter it.

So people!!!! what I am concluding here per my experience is to watch out your thoughts and exercise caution while expressing them as you know for sure they will take a form someday.

Yeah! There is another concept of Unspoken words which works…let me think.
