Today I am going through Radha Nagar. Radha, that name suddenly give me the sweet memories of my friend who was there with me when I was in UKG. Whenever I cross through this place, I used to remember her. God knows where she is and I know that she will not remember me. But whenever I hear that name, she comes into my mind.
Such things happen in everybody’s life. Some songs will take us to the particular period we were living like college era, school era, like that. Some smell, some names and so on. Name… it is a beautiful area to be discussed. I have seen my friends searching all the books and now in internet for getting a name for their children. But in India, as most of the names pertains to God, there are lots of debatable pairs, like my dad and mom, their names being Venkatasubramanian and Parvathy respectively (as per Hindu mythology, Subramanian is the son of Parvathy).
Name, according to me is just a title to the folder. Whenever that name is been heard or spelt out, that folder is opened. For eg., if I say Maniratnam, we start exploring the file called maniratnam in our brain. Anything and everything about him is stored here.

While traveling through Radha Nagar, there is one Vigneswara Temple (Lord Ganesh’s Temple) on the road side. There are n number of Ganesh temples in Tamil Nadu and one will get confused, if somebody mention it as a land mark.
This temple is situated in a turning. I have to take right turn if I have to pass through this temple. If I take left, I could join the main road through a less traveled, short cut road. Now, again the question was popped up. Which route? Right or left?

HISTORY: Sometimes I spent hours to decide which dress to be worn in a particular day. Should I make the call or not? There is always a dilemma in this or that situation.

There is a mosque if I take the left route and there is a temple, if I take the right route. I wish to travel in my own path. I have my own ideologies. It is a mix of rationalism and atheism. Here also, I am bit confused between this or that. I strongly believe there is always a middle of the road theory. But here, the options are clear. Either through the mosque route or through the temple route.

Any way, my utmost objective is to reach the office as early as possible; no matter it is through the mosque route or through the temple route.
To prove myself, that I am generous and to supplement my belief that there is only one GOD, I decided to go through the mosque route.

If one has taken a decision, then it should be final. You should never think about the road not taken. But my brain, my mind was thinking about the temple route. Will Lord Ganesh be angry with me. It was in front of him, I wrote the first letters in my life. He used to attend my request spontaneously. What he might have thought? I was bit worried. Then, I realized, he will have the broad mindedness to forgive me or accept my decision. That is why we call them GOD na. The opponent side was strong. It came up some strong statements. Passing through the temple and wishing him would have been a gesture of gratitude. There was a clear opportunity to show my gratitude towards GOD and I neglected. The other side didn’t give up… Why, cant I see Lord Ganesh in the mosque??
No…
Why?
Are you saying prayers pertaining to Lord Shiva in front of Lord Vishnu. No na? Then why should you say Ganesh mantra in front of a mosque?

HISTORY: When I was a kid, there was some doshas in my Jaathakam . So I was given to Lord Shiva and my parents adopted me from HIM. So I am GOD’s child ( as everybody). But I feel I am bit closer to him.. ( No debate please).
But, I was brought in a village where there is a Lord Krishna Temple. I used to go to the temple daily without any fail. I started admiring HIM.. Love HIM… used to fight with HIM… share all my feeling with HIM.. and HE became the best friend in my Life..

Whenever I am in trouble, a troublesome confusion peeps into my mind. Whom I should seek shelter; Lord Shiva, who is my father or Lord Krishna, who is my friend. Again, a this or that situation.

People in two state of mind is like traveling in two boats. You will reach nowhere and will be drowned. One should be clear, atleast in your favourite GOD. Why, I will tell you…
But do wait............
