ఎంత జాలి గుండె నీది ?
నా కళ్ళు నగ్నంగా ఉన్నాయని ప్రతి రోజు కన్నీటి పొరలతో కప్పుతుంటావు
నా కళ్ళు నగ్నంగా ఉన్నాయని ప్రతి రోజు కన్నీటి పొరలతో కప్పుతుంటావు

corruption in our country
shocked at the level of corruption in our country
All of us might have heard of hundreds and thousands of crores of rupees going corrupt. Even I did, but still I felt that no body is directly impacted because of this, though all of us are impacted in indirect ways.
Recently, I have heard of another incident which was really shocking me. As part of the NREGA, the labourers are getting some 120 odd rupees today. Of this, our great government officials eat up 10 rupees everyday. Aren't these people become like blood sucking parasites? They are not just eating up the money from the rich and well to do, even from the very poor who earn a hundred bucks a day.
Is there a way we can get rid of this corruption? Pondering over all these, I felt that corruption can be eradicated only in the top down approach. When the politicians act with integrity then only can we expect the bureaucrats to behave so, and so to the lower levels of the government.
If you happen to go to any villages and ask any small or medium farmer, their woes are so sad. Never do the government officials act in a manner which is good for their farming. Neither do the governments at center and state. We do not provide proper support prices for our agricultural produces. The prices are high in the city markets due to the number of intermediaries in between. There needs to be a transformation all these, else we have a risk of losing agriculture totally. The number of people migrating to cities is already very high.
As a part of being in the Loksatta and Loksatta Sanjeevani, several programmes are being organised to get rid of this corruption. Many rallies are organised, letters sent to government offices, RTI ( Right to Information Act) used to find out how the government offices are functioning, etc.
On the spiritual end, we need to transform and flower the hearts of people that they are all the one and empathetic to the problems of others.
One good thing IT is bringing to the country is transparency. Projects like e-seva, moving all PF accounts into online mode so that all the transactions can be done quickly, UID are really bringing in more transparency in our country.
So, ultimately what is the need of the hour? The need of the hour is energetic youth who are well educated, willing to learn the problems of the people and work towards resolving these issues. You need not be a politician or a bureaucrat to work on these. If you really have the wish and will to do it, think and you will find many ways in which you can contribute..........

This too will pass away
Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them,
" Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every circumstances, in every place and in every time. Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me. Tell me is there any mantra?"
All wise men got puzzled by King's question. One answer for all question? Something that works everywhere, in every situation? In every joy, every sorrow, every defeat and every victory? They thought and thought. After a lengthy discussion, an old man suggested something which appeal to all of them. They went to king and gave him something written on paper. But the condition was that king was not to see it out of curiosity. Only in extreme danger, when the King finds himself alone and there seems to be no way, only then he'll have to see it. The King put the papers under his Diamond ring.
After a few days, the neighbors attack the Kingdom. It was a collective surprise attack of King's enemies. King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle. King had to fled on his horse. The enemies were following him. His horse took him far away in Jungle. He could hear many troops of horses were following him and the noise was coming closer and closer. Suddenly the King found himself standing in the end of the road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he jumped into it, he would be finished…and he could not return because it was a small road…From back the sound of enemy's horses was approaching fast. King became restless. There seemed to be no way.
Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun, and he remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond and read the message. The message was very small but very great.
The message was - " This too will pass."
The King read it . Again read it. Suddenly something strike in his mind- Yes ! it too will pass. Only a few days ago, I was enjoying my kingdom. I was the mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today, the Kingdom and all his pleasure have gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. However when those days of luxuries have gone, this day of danger too will pass. A calm come on his face. He kept standing there. The place where he was standing was full of natural beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his Kingdom. The revelation of message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and forget about those following him. After a few minute he realized that the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some other part of the mountains and were not on that path.
The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and regain his lost empire. When he returned to his empire after victory, he was received with much fan fare at the door. The whole capital was rejoicing in the victory. Everyone was in a festive mood. Flowers were being thrown on King from every house, from every corner. People were dancing and singing. For a moment King said to himself," I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It is not easy to defeat me.: With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego emerging in him.
Suddenly the Diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of the message. He open it and read it again: "This too will pass"
He became silent. His face went through a total change -from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humbleness.
If this too is going to pass, it is not yours.
The defeat was not yours, the victory is not yours.
You are just a watcher. Everything passes by
We are witness of all this. We are the perceiver. Life come and go. Happiness come and go. Sorrow come and go.
Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate your own life. This too will pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent ? They all come and pass away. Life just passes away.
There were friends in past. They all have gone.
There are friends today. They too will go.
There will be new friends tomorrow. They too will go.
There were enemies in past. They have gone.
There may be enemy in present. They too will go.
There will be new enemies tomorrow and......they too will go.
There is nothing permanent in this world. Everything changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks , all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away. If there are problems in the present, they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass away. Who are you in reality? Know your real face. Your face is not your true face. It will change with the time. However, there is something in you, which will not change. It will remain unchanged. What is that unchangeable ? It is nothing but your true self.
You are just a witness of change. Experience it, understand it.
Everyday for 10-15 minutes sit in silence. Just think over the sentence, " This too will pass." Pondering over your own life will make you realize the true meaning of this sentence. Everything passes yet your real identity remains the same. That real you is your true self. To know that self is true meditation.

Sai and Prudhvi
జీవితం ఒక అద్భుతం. - ఆనందం - ఆహ్లాదం అని కొంతమంది అనుకుంటే ,
జీవితం అనిశ్చితి - విషాదం - దుఃఖం అని మరి కొంత మంది అనుకుంటారు.
మరి అంతే కదా ! భగవంతుడు రెండు ఆశ్చర్యమైన అనుభూతులను సృష్టించాడు. నవ్వడం - ఏడవటం.
ఒక మనిషి జీవితం లో ఈ రెండు అత్యున్నత అనుభూతులు ఒకేసారి జరిగితే - అదే జీవితం లో జరిగే అత్యున్నత అనుభూతి.
నా జీవితం లో ఇలాంటి అత్యున్నత అనుభవాలు కేవలం ఇద్దరితో మాత్రమే కలిగాయి. దొంగ నా కొడుకులు సాయి & పృథ్వి.
జీవితం లో 100 రోజులు ఎంజాయ్ చేసి ఉంటె , 90 రోజులలో సాయి గాని , పృథ్వి గాని నాతో ఉన్నారు.
జీవితం లో ఎంతో మంది వ్యక్తులను కలుస్తాం ! కాని కొంతమంది ని మాత్రమే ప్రేమిస్తాం ! అలానే ఇంకొంత మందిని ద్వేషిస్తాం. కానీ నా జీవితం లో ఈ ఇద్దరినీ ప్రేమించినంతగా ద్వేషించాను. ద్వేషించినంతగా ప్రేమించాను. ఎంత పొగిడానో అంతగా తిట్టుకున్నాను. ఎంత తిట్టుకున్ననో అంతగా పొగిడాను.
"A friend is some one, with whom you can share tears". There could be many friends. But our friend ship will always stay unique, as we shared tears countless times in our happiest moments.I'm always thankful to GOD for gifting us " Unique combination of sharing tears with prudhvi and sai with laugh ".
I Think this is correct time to recollect one of the SMS which i receive frequently. Memories play vital role in our life. They make you cry for the moments you laughed together. They make you to laugh for the moments you cried together.
