Timing!

Timing: time when something happens!

Time is of the essence in life and timing plays a very critical part in every ones life and its success, shrewder are those who can advantage of it. I recently experienced one such phenomena of timing, after rigorous analysis and sleepless nights it seems like I ended up on the wrong side of it. Patience is truly a virtue, my restlessness and preconceived notions could have cost me dearly but there is no sure way of predicting the future and the losses.

My very little analysis on how one could be better prepared to take advantage of timing,

1. Patience (don't hurry with your decisions)
2. Understand the situation
3. Scenario Planning (simulate the pro's, con's & effects of each alternative decision)

While above steps might help you to time your decisions appropriately it by no ways guarantees success, so be cautious but don't be afraid to bite the bullet. While I attempt to rationalize the decisions taken in past one month, you mull on the power of timing!

3 Weird Years...

Few more days and I will be out doing something different. Its time for introspection, soul searching what ever one may call it. Even after repeated attempts of rationalizing my thoughts, "RAGE" is the word which comes to my mind. I feel so cheated that I am hardly able to contain my frustrations, sometimes wondering how do I deal with all this vitriolic feelings.

This leads me to a trivial but important question, How do people deal with all prevalent injustice? Some people fight for justice but I am not sure if it results in getting some because the nature of life is not just. One has to be lucky to be born as human and then even more lucky to be born rich and then even more luckier to have endowed with virtues. A small disconnect in the chain of nature could be painful realization of how mean this world could be.

My guess is that over time one becomes indifferent to concept of justice and rationalize it with greater meaning of life. I personally don't believe in any greater meaning of life, we live just because we are alive. May be someday I would like to be under a spell or illusion that life has a greater cause which I could totally commit to.

ಮಾದೇಶ್ವರ ಬಂಜೆಯ ಬೇಗೆಯ ಕೆಳೆಯ ......

ಮಾದೇಶ್ವರ ನಿನ್ನ ಗಿರಿಗೆ ಬರುವೆ, ನಿನ್ನ ಪೂಜೆಯ ನಾ ಮಾಡುವೆ, ಕಣ್ಣಿರಿನ ಹೊಳೆ ಹರಿಸುವೆ,
ನನಗೊಂದು ಶಿಶು ನೀಡೆಯೆ ಮಾದೇವ ನನಗೊಂದು ಶಿಶು ನೀಡೆಯ.
ಮಾದೇಶ್ವರ ನಿನ್ನ ಗಿರಿಗೆ ಬರುವೆ, ನಿನ್ನ ಪೂಜೆಯ ನಾ ಮಾಡುವೆ |

ಬಂಗಾರ ಸಿಂಗಾರ ನಾನಗೆಥಕೋ, ಅರಮನೆಯ ವೈಬೋಗ್ಹ ಇನ್ನೇಥಕೋ||
ನೆರೆ ಮನೆಯವರೆಲ್ಲ ಬಂಜೆ ಎನುವರೆಲ್ಲ, ಕೈ ಇಡಿದ ಪತಿಯು ನನ್ನ ದೂರ ತಲ್ಳುವರೆಲ್ಲ
ನನಗೊಂದು ಶಿಶು ನೀಡೆಯೆ ಮಾದೇವ ನನಗೊಂದು ಶಿಶು ನೀಡೆಯ.
ಮಾದೇಶ್ವರ ನಿನ್ನ ಗಿರಿಗೆ ಬರುವೆ, ನಿನ್ನ ಪೂಜೆಯ ನಾ ಮಾಡುವೆ |

ನಾಗು ಮಳೆಯನು ನಾ ಕಾಣೆನು, ಆದರು ನಿನ್ನ ಪಾದ ಬಿಡಲಾರೆನು
ಅಮ್ಮ ಎನ್ನುವವರು ಯಾರಿಲ್ಲ ತಂದೆ, ಈ ನನ್ನ ಕಂಬನಿಗೆ ಕೊನೆ ಹೇಗೆ ಮುಂದೆ
ಗಂಡು ಮಗನ ನೀಡೆಯ ಮಾದೇವ ಗಂಡು ಮಗನ ನೀಡೆಯ
ಮಾದೇಶ್ವರ ನಿನ್ನ ಗಿರಿಗೆ ಬರುವೆ, ನಿನ್ನ ಪೂಜೆಯ ನಾ ಮಾಡುವೆ, ಕಣ್ಣಿರಿನ ಹೊಳೆ ಹರಿಸುವೆ,
ನನಗೊಂದು ಶಿಶು ನೀಡೆಯೆ ಮಾದೇವ ನನಗೊಂದು ಶಿಶು ನೀಡೆಯ.
ಮಾದೇಶ್ವರ ನಿನ್ನ ಗಿರಿಗೆ ಬರುವೆ, ನಿನ್ನ ಪೂಜೆಯ ನಾ ಮಾಡುವೆ |

This is a prayer to Mighty Maadeshwara from a young queen dealing with infertility & society. Its in the form of song which is swirling with emotions, all she needs is a child. At first its a simple outpouring of tears but it gets complicated, so desperate for the kid that she now cannot comprehend worldly desires, the harsh words of neighbors and her own husband's doubt in her is literally killing her. She feels the need to be called "mother" by a kid of her own to which she can go any length to please the Maadeshwara. There is a line in the poem in which she specifically asks for Male child, which clearly shows the degradation of the contemporary society.

An excellent song portraying the humble nature of motherhood and the vulnerability of women in our society!
