Walking the whole of yesterday was a big revelation. The revelation is that no one walks with me. I will have to walk alone and always. Take any event in my life, I am alone. The so-called company or the society is just peripheral and it is basically bullshit! From these examples it is clear, […]

My Father and Mother
Both my father and mother hail from the old Karimnagar district of the then Hyderabad-Deccan, Andhra Pradesh, and Present Telangana. Both were born in the kingdom of Hyderabad-Deccan of the Nizam. A part of this kingdom later became AP. My mother was born at a small temple town called VEMULAWADA. It is about 35 km […]
On being a Gentleman
Question arises about the exact definition of a ‘Gentleman’. Frank answer is I do not know. But what I know is that an English Gentleman is equivalent to Maryada Purushottam of Indians. He has every good quality. You can name any good quality… both has it! This comparison is metaphorical; not religiously metaphysical. I shall […]
INEXACT 6th MONTH CEREMONY OF AN EXACT MAN
Father’s 6th monthly ceremony is over a week ago. Hindus celebrate death this way too, believe that by remembering the departed through these monthly ceremonies, they come to accept the terms of life without them. Only the memories are remaining. I have memories of seeing my father as a handsome young man in the police […]
WELCOME TO THE PLANET EARTH
How the time flies! It looks like Jyothi and Praveen were married just yesterday! I visited Upparapally village (near Warangal) to attend their simple but memorable marriage. Personally, I do not like attending any function/celebration. I consider the very concept of function stupid. Attending functions is the most efficient way of wasting the precious time. […]
ENOUGH TO END IT ALL?
Many wonder what is enough to end the life? No. Not life. What is enough trouble to end it all? A Peek in this direction is as follows: In 1927, Edwin Wakeman of Manchester committed suicide leaving this note: ‘I married a widow with a grown daughter. My father fell in love with my stepdaughter […]
Guru Purnima or Guru Amavasya
An interesting interpretation of Guru on the eve of Guru Purnima – who is a Guru? Can anyone be a guru? The famous Kabir Doha: Guru Govind dau khade, kake lagun payen balihari Guru apne, Govind dio milay. MEANING: “Guru (Teacher) and Govind (the God) are standing before you, then whose feet you will touch […]
Let Me Know Reddy Saab
Father’s 3rd month ceremony was completed few days ago. Difficult to think that already over 100 days have gone by in his absence. How quickly the injuries heal! All I can think is (as brainwashed) that my father has gone to heaven, where all comforts for eternal life are present. Many more I am told: […]
Friday, 13th June 1941
13th June 1941 – Date of Birth of my Father. Had he been alive he would have completed 83 years, and would have begun his 84th year. What is the day on 13th June 1941? It was Friday! Friday the 13th?! No wonder, and very appropriately he never believed in God. And 13th June 2023 […]
So long…Reddy Saab!!!
Gone to father’s house this morning at 6.30 am, as usual. Yes. I do miss him. In the cot he slept, in the plate he ate, in the wooden chair he sat, in the left over unused sealed medicines, in the stale smell of his closed house, in the calendar that is forever stuck on […]
