Post by email

It has been a long hiatus from the regular blogging I had done. With more office work mounting on, it is even hard for me to go through my library of blog rolls at Bloglines. After a long time, I chked out the blogger pages and thought that I would try posting a post through the email facility.

Thanks for being 'sensible'

After a gap of two years, I went to an ophthalmologist to check my eye power. During the examination, I was applied eye drops and asked to close my eyes for about an hour. It was totally a different experience - I got a call on my cell phone - now, how do I find out who it is before I take the call - especially when you have a plethora of calls that come from one bank / the other for some offer.

This is when, I found out how important it is to appreciate the presence of each and every organ and sense in your body. Most of us take for granted that we are fine and don't even think the importance of our senses in every day. But even an hour of just closing my eyes, got me into a realisation mode - how important and necessary our senses are.

This gets me to remember an old poem in Tamil by the great poet, Auvaiyar ...

"aridhu aridhu maanidaraai pirathal aridhu
maanidaraai pirandha kaalaiyin
koon kurudu sevidu neengi pirathal aridhu..."

- translated "It is rare to be born a human, Inspite of being a human, it is rare to be born without any ailments - blind, deaf, dumb"

- Thanks for how I'm created with the senses!!!

After a long gap ...

Yep, posting after a long gap ... It has almost been more than three quarters of an year that I had put up a post on this blog. Most of the time I had either been lazy or been very busy. During busy times, it had been shuffled between personal prioritues ans professional stuff. Now that I'm starting to get frustrated with things at the professional front, I want to spend some time on bringing myself 'back to form' to write some good posts.

So, did I not have time to do anything else apart from personal and professional stuff?

Mostly yes - I had been on and off and many small things ... reading a lot of blogs had been there - but I had come down quite significantly.

I discovered Alltop and this nice accumulator of blog posts is a gift for someone who likes to go through a collection of topics. I have my own feeds organized at bloglines - but Alltop seems to give more details on a topic and introduces me to new blogs.
