Caught the whisper

A  whisper  rises
From the land of the Old
I  drown  it  in  the  sound  of  TV,
The  traffic 
And  the  everyday  humdrum;

A  moment  of  solitude  caught the  whisper
Words from  my forgotten version

I  had become a  collection  of  memories,
A  stale reminder  of  my  past
The  infant,  the  child,  the  teen,  and  the  woman  I  am  today.
But before  I  was  born,  I  was limitless
 A design,  purpose,  pure  unsurpassed  love


I  hold  its  elapsed  reminders
Locked  in  a  box,  tucked  away  into  obscurity;
But  it  whispers,  it  hums  and  tries  to  remind  me
Of  who I  am  and  who  I  could  be.

Listen  to  the  whisper  within
It  will  tell  you  your  purpose  of  life
And  if  that  goes  beyond  your perceived self  and  your  life  time
You  will  know
You  have  caught  that  whisper

Christianity and the Homosexuality issue

     This is something that has been in my mind lately. More so because of how the fundamentalist and evangelical churches point at Homosexuals as the culprits for any disaster - natural or otherwise. If there is a hurricane, prominent preachers don't waste any time in accusing them as the cause of God's wrath. There is much outcry against Homosexual marriages. As a practising Christian, this disturbs me a lot. If we have to go by the Jesus Christ portrayed in the Bible, I am sure that if he were to walk as a human in this century, he wouldn't refuse a party invitation from them.  All creation is beautiful. If someone is created that way, perhaps there is a reason to it as Christ rightly said in Matt 19  "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake" It's funny ...

To the operation theatre and back

There are times when we understand the gravity of a situation without letting emotions cloud our judgement. It helps maintain our objectivity to support a friend. Rarely, that someone is you and that moment makes you an observer too. This also showed me what authentic leadership is. I had a presentation to the Global CEO Ben Verwayen. My reporting manager is Vishy Poosala, the CTO of Alcatel-Lucent Messaging and Head of Bell Labs. I asked him to present and he chose to cancel it because he wanted me to take the credit for my work.  We visited Dr. Disha Sridhar at Motherhood, Bangalore with a positive on the urine pregnancy test on 6th Oct. We made plans to manage the pregnancy. Since  the ultrasound slots were full at the hospital, we got the TVS done in the nearby test centre Clumax. The ultrasound couldn’t detect the gestational sac in the uterus yet though the urine pregnancy test was positive. There was nothing to indicate a tubular pregnancy either.  Dr. Dis...

Pride-Is the culprit over confidence?

Have you faced people who suck the energy out of you with long winding tales about themselves? Have you wondered at times how a person can have so much pride? I don’t subscribe to the theory that overconfidence is the culprit for this “I am THE ultimate gift to the world” attitude. It is an inadequate sense of self esteem that actually sows the seeds of pride. A healthy self esteem respects others notwithstanding differing ideologies. There are times I have caught myself talking about some one else and then realize that the root cause was actually a kind of doubt on myself. When you work on having a healthy self esteem you stop all comparisons and understand that right and wrong is all about standards. And this standard differs person to person. An ingrained feeling of inadequacy is defended by a false pride. This is not a natural emotion and hence gets across viciously through a swish of negative energy. This is also characterized by a closed, defensive (territorial hostility) behavio...
