Straight From the Big Mind ......

The Birth of that Atheist was without any pain, without any resistance, without any hatred.... From the Childhood I was a God Fearing Child.. That is the way we were brought up... Even though I visited Temples and took part in the Rituals I don't know if I really prayed.... Yes.. When the exams were nearing ... Promised God for Incense Sticks and Camphor ... Some time Fulfilled... Some times not, when My Work was Done or Forgotten....  When ever i was troubled a natural call from inside goes to the Unknown always.. But it was in the form as I know them ... The Gods in the form i have seen in the temples... Life Continued... And the so called belief also continued... till i took a pilgrimage to Sabarimala (One of the south India's famous and powerful place of worship) It was the longest ever pilgrimage i took i think till date with penance of 41 days and a trip of 10 days covering all the main temples in the southern Provinces of India...  ...

We wait for the vacations to come to go to my Grand Mothers home...  To meet the whole Family... To play in the Paddy Fields... To take bath in the River... To play with Cows, Goats and Hens.... To lie on my Grandma's big tummy.... To get the love and attention of all the other family members.... It is a great thing for them to see us as we come from the city to the village ...   They consider us privileged or something special.... Anyway we used to get a lot of attention..... There are limited buses to the village once in few hours only one bus...  Few times I have walked 5 to 8 miles in the nights when we miss the last bus.... I still remember my aunt and uncle used to walk all the way back to the village the day they drop us in the railway station when we have return back .... They were so cute, innocent, loving they would pack all the jackfruits, mangoes and all other special items from the home for us to carry when we go back... Go...
