What is spectacular? What is it?? what is IT??

They say it takes something spectacular for you to get out of your comfort zone.
Particularly if you are a perennial procrastinator like me

What then, you might ask prompted me to get back to writing my first blog post in years?

Nothing.. Nothing spectacular that is.
Its a Saturday, I'm at work like all other Saturdays, I drove to work today (which I've never done before, and i know this is bad news for a lot of auto-drivers around the city who took me an many a ride - pun intended)

So ya, maybe driving to work is making me feel good?
Driving my car is symbolic of driving my circumstances? No.

God forbid, i wouldn't want to drive my circumstances. I want to live the circumstances. that is where all the beauty is. The beauty of being, of experience.

I said beauty of being, whose being? mine?

God forbid, no not mine... Its the beauty of the ONE who remains hidden, yet within us all along.

I do not know, maybe its a call from this person i received just a while back... I do not know.

All i know is, spectacular is all around us. It lurking, beneath every mundane activity or situation around us.
It is lurking under the garb of boredom, its lurking under our fear. It is lurking under our hunger, our food, our breathing.

We shouldn't really try to define spectacular. We must only open our eyes.

and look around, live, and wait for that spectacular to sweep us off our feet, and lead us.

The spectacular is in us. Within us. Hidden, yet infinitely manifest. Let That spectacular drive you. Rub your eyes, out of disbelief, and you will then rub in disbelief, at the Spectacular.

Can we name this spectacular? this supremely, infinitely blessed being? Out of whose being-ness we live, feel and experience, yet not learn??

When the belief of knowing-ness comes to you, you will rub your eyes and open them wide, and you'll be surprised that all of your life, you, my friend, have been living the Spectacular!!

May we be bewildered, and in awe, forever and ever. In this spectacular, that we call - LOVE


Not the kind they show in movies, but the kind, which when realized, leaves you speechless.

Donot ask me, do not ask yourselves where you would find it.

Rumi says, “What you seek is seeking you.” 

What is spectacular??, it is that, which is seeking you, every second of your existence,

 Don't find it, remain silent for a while, and let it find you.

It is, what it is 

When you know this.. and you will, you will fall in love all over again, with your trials, with your difficulaties, with you unease, for in reality it was all Hidden Mercy, that pushed you to banish what is outside of you, and seek what is within,... The very core of your being, the very core of the universe, the very core of all that is... The spectacular.. Love..

What justice can i do to the #awesomeness of this spectacular, but since i yearn to... I dedicate this post to The spectacular. This my friend, this dedication, is my worship. Blessed be the spectacular!! Blessed be the spectacular..

The sun and sunny days .... A tribute to Philip caputo

The following is an excerpt from 'the voyage' by 'philip caputo'


''the golden shimmer appeared where the horizon was supposed to be,then a red sun pushed up,like the head of some fiery infant bulging out of the grey sea's womb-water giving birth to its opposite element.


Take that for a piece of writing !how brilliant was that , hats off Mr caputo !! I have always believed that a great piece of writing is one that inspires the reader to think , and write !!
There are few examples better then this one , for its not only pushed me to think , its pushed me to write what i thought about too !!

Not surprisingly ,its about the sun that i have written .



Our lives, are like the daily cycle of the sun.
We take birth ,all mild ,innocent ,utterly harmless and extremely lovable , we appear but like a miracle of nature !

But as we sprout wings and fly into adolescence and then adulthood ., we , with wings , unfortunately grow horns too !... And we become more ferocious , less mercifull and more arrogant , causing discomfort to poorer beings! Like the sun in the noon , blinding yellow , extremely bright , hot, refusing to provide us with any sort of relief or shade .

But then, there is justice after all and life does teach us a lesson or two. It humbles us , gives us a chance to realise , and.... Towards the ends of our lives , we are humbled too , just like our radiant celestial neighbor.

Again changing from a fiery yellow to a friendly glow of orange , and then to a serene pink , its almost like the sun , has learnt his lesson , like he kno's he's run out of his 'sunny days', and is Reminiscing his time during the noon. And in retrospect ,is feeling foolish ,almost guilty ,
....but....
He's serene because, he must have lived arrogant, like a fool , for a certain period of his life , but he's learnt from his life and he's appreciated the beauty of it......
And now , is going down enlightened, going down wise , heart heavy with joy and remorse at the same time ,,......

Waiting for another chance... Hoping not to repeat his mistakes ......as we wait.... For another chance ....everyday

and how marvelous is this set-up, how marvelous is GOD , HIS nature !! And how fitting that with the next chance the sun gets , a new day , a new chance to start afresh we are blessed with !!
A new page in the book of our life we turn !! A blank page more importantly , giving us a chance to start afresh , keeping the past out of our present !!

How can we not fall in love with this complicated ,yet so simple life !!
