What would I do without a mind?
What would I do without a society to shape that mind?
To influence it?
To taint it?
To glorify it?
What would I do without the memories of such glory and such tache?
An orphan on a deserted island, with nothing from the outside world, save the produce of Nature which surrounds me.
I suppose I would be free....
Dear M, Yes, the entire treat for the senses is something that cannot be captured in words... :-)
Dear S, Sri Rama is a Hindu god who was a human incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Since, he was a human being, he was born on a particular day of the month. Since the calendar prevalent in those days was the luni-solar calendar, his birth was marked as the Navami thithi (or 9th day) of the bright half of the lunar cycle in the month of Chaitra or Panguni (as it is known amongst Tamilians). Hence, Rama-Navami. Helped? :-)
was listening to some renditions of The Pancharatna kritis [by Sri.Maharajapuram Santhanam] that day...and the one depicting his ecstacy on finding Lord Rama in "Kanugontini" moved me.
Just sharing...

Dear Anon-U, Haven't heard that but thanks a tonne for sharing. :-) I will upload my sketches some day... Am I a designer? I love designing stuff (jewellery, furniture, software, etc.) but does that make me a designer? Not sure, hence, no. :-)
Thanks very much for that... I really miss the colours of India here and the temples and temple sounds, smells and that special feeling of festivals..
