I dream of red, I dream of red

Red in the poem below is a metaphor for anything nice or any pleasant thought one would have, or a memory that makes u feel good.... (go figure :-)) else check out the Key at the end... . . The World so full of hustle and greed, Can we have Red to break this speed, And stop for those who wish, freed, I dream of red, I dream of red, . When the sun's 'bout to rise, When darkness sheds its guise, When stars disappear in surprise, I dream of red, I dream of red, . When early birds have gone faraway, When the morning dew melts away, When bustle again begins for the day, I dream of red, I dream of red, . What pain and joy this day may hold, What odd novelties we may behold, What new people may join our fold, I dream of red, I dream of red, . What succour will we bring the poor, What pills for the needy for cure, What skills we need impart for sure, I dream of red, I dream of red, . Where there is lucre and a good mind, Where concern for people is the bind, Where destitutes find people so kind, I dream of red, I dream of red, . Where there is healthy banter and gaiety, Where we meet to help the community, Where something is given back to society, I dream of red, I dream of red...... . . . Key Red in business wd be for losses, Red in poetry wd be for penury, Red in English cd be for strife, But, Red in Latin is a sweet memory...... .

Inner Engineering Retreat at the Isha Yoga Centre

Inner engineering - had heard so much about this program that I finally succumbed to my curiosity. Am also in a transition phase in my career and thought I had done so much of outer Engineering - Education, Networking, continuous learning of techniques and tools so felt it is time for some Inner Engineering. A three and a half day investment seemed quite appropriate as well at the Isha Centre in a scenic setting near Coimbatore. Here are some key learnings and insights for the ones interested….. First, it is a completely new journey into a realm that is beyond our normal logical, questioning mind. It calls for a leap of faith into a new dimension not easily explained by the axioms we are so familiar with in day to day life. However, it is done in a very "secular", non denominational, non-religious manner without pushing you too much. So well packaged and marketed in my view!! Second, it is an intense program both mentally and physically. You are in the program 24 hrs...

The Ultimate Truth or the ultimate secret of this Universe (Brahma Rahasyam) ?

Its 100 years since Einstein published his general theory of relativity, truly a path-breaking discovery and postulate regarding this Universe. It is one of the secrets of the universe revealed, in effect. Einstein has been quoted as saying that he stumbled on to the General Theory of Relativity through deep thought and intuition but did not derive it via mathematical logic. The equations and math followed later.  Many of our rishis or great thinkers speak of the same deep meditation and thought that helped them to decipher the secrets of the universe. They probably revealed it to us but in cryptological terms that we fail to fathom. And they shrouded it in rituals, images, structures and even the "mantras" - the holy scripts that we see, hear and even chant without knowing the deep secrets within. In the book, The Da Vinci Code, the secret of Christ's bloodline is deeply encrypted in many ways and unravels ever so slowly through deep meditative thought, intuition and ...

R.E.S.P.E.C.T...

The title of this post may trigger thoughts of Aretha Franklin's classic number that arguably became the theme song of the American Feminist movement in the 60s. But we aren't far away from what I have in mind. But this is more about what happens to people in organisations. Read on.... Many of us, even though we refuse to accept, depend on our colleagues and subordinates to become successful. This is even more true when we come into a new organisation and are struggling to establish ourselves in the first few weeks. We will need specific help from our compatriots to get us started on the job or to show us the way in those incipient days. Many would expect our bosses to help but this seldom happens. So we are left to fend for ourselves and quickly find allies. This is where a vast majority of us fail to make it and feel frustrated in the first few weeks. We feel we have no authority or have not been empowered enough to do the job. What we fail to realise is that we have to b...
