ON Creative Living


Every day morning after 8 hours of sleep,my mind would be in excellent state of relaxation.I was wondering where did that perceptive,creative,progressive state of mind is lost,once i proceed into the days work,which consists of meeting various people and doing various activity.In fact i have heard of this statistics,that we hardly have 4 hours of productive work in office out of 8 hours.Where did we loose our creative living? I want introduce the difference between the two words,action and activity to explain the creative living.Action is when situation demands it,you act and respond,whereas activity is so restless within that situation is just an excuse to be active.In simple terms,action comes out of a silent mind whereas activity comes out of a restless mind.Action is beautiful ,it is spontaneous response without hastiness ,whereas activity is result of hastiness which leads to escaping the present moment.Action is like,when you are hungry you eat,when you are thirsty you drink,it is of genuine situation.But if there is no hunger ,but you want to eat,then its not an action,its an activity. Activity is the result of being uncomfortable with yourself. Action comes out of a relaxed mind,where it does not oscillate into past and future,It is strongly in the present,the moment is all.Only in that state we experience relaxation.Relaxation means this moment is enough,only in this state we can feel happiness,it makes us receptive,faculty of imagination becomes powerful.Activity which is the result of hasty thinking occurs due to ego.Ego is all tensions you have created about yourself.When you drop the ego,you drop a whole world that you have created around it.For the first time,you are able to see things as they are,not as you would like to be. Action is always new and fresh like the dewdrops in the morning,and a person of action is always fresh and young.Only this action helps us for creative living.Creative living doesn't mean ,we become Picasso,Beethoven ,it means everybody leads a creative living to their level which is full of joy,peace and humanity.

#home Malayalam movie review

Image
I got into this after tough day in my work and selected this as somewhere I saw some raving review in my facebook feed somewhere in my mobile. Irony that movie which downplays the mobile device got attention by mobile. It's very hard and unfair to write review on culture and language that am not into it. But first time ever I went really went tight on capturing images and reading sub titles due to the natural visual, realistic characters. when the movie started telling about a director and writers block, i thought it's going to be too artistic and would loose empathy as like the movies 71/2(french), marupadiyum, bommalatam, VTV. I don't like movies about movies, I was sleepy until the part came in about the guy who ran a video cassette shop who gone out of competition now. And also I thought this movie cannot be tagged as just a feel good family drama but has more hearty flavour to it. My take on a movie always would be story distorted and pick my favourite elem

ON Self Knowledge Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti - Why JK repeats?(On my spiritual guru

Image
This is ON JK who lived during -Jiddu Krishnamurti- May 12, 1895 – February 17, 1986 ).He is many's spiritual guru and had not sharing about him to anyone as there are certain beauties which we cant share and also philosophy is a dry subject,where people wont like it. He cannot be labelled as the guru, anybody don't have any particular person who is their guru all life. Life is our guru,not particular person.But to push yourself to life and make the starting ceremony with first lesson in a big book of life you need a guru. A guru is only a starting point. The guru cant find you as you have to. To dig on life we should not willing to be satisfied with superficial,comfortable,painful life which we may be hiding at. Many will get inside the learning zone only when wanting to penetrate life more then what it is ,and become desperate to know on why pain and how to overcome it.First time in life we will be bothered to dig life,strain  and win it INTELLECTUALLY.

ON Tamil Writer Balakumaran - The man who knew too much on spirituality

Image
  This write-up on writer Balakumar, veteran of tamil fiction credited to have 200 plus book titles. Balakumaran writing got into me when i watched the Tamil movie Gentleman(1993) as a kid. Even though dialogue is small part of movie, managed to take away his name in the movie titles which we hardly care to see. Then i managed to see some of his works in movie and always been great fan like for a hero in the movie. Later i used to see his name was always there in tamil novel section in book shops which i often used to visit. I turned pages there and got into his novel writing a bit. One of my non conformist friend suggested couple of his novels which i tried and started liking his flavor of writing. He shines like a hero in a movie after reading through it. Amazing technique of domain exploration, philosophical musings on life and people, adulation of feminine side. The novel like "Irumbu kudhiraigal" flashes a bit of movie "Polladavan" and drives into a subject,
