prostitutes on journey

     Prostitution is taboo!!! It’s bad and not acceptable. This is what the society of our time feels and expresses. It is a vast topic or a subject for the discussion, argumentation, study, and research. It has a history. Time and again people have tried to understand this reality and in all the ways possible have attempted to eradicate this phenomenon.

     A visit to Bangalore recently gave me such a surprising opportunity to view the life of prostitutes so closely. The time which I was supposed to spend window shopping in the glittering malls was spent just the other way. I was on the streets, in the bus stand…closely viewing the life reality of these young ladies whom the society brands as Prostitutes.

I was watching those beautiful sensitive women who were ready to sell their own body for the mere gain of money that evening and all the evening to come. An owner woman a prostitute herself was selling her prostitute gals to the goons, who came by autos and cars. Was it a drama or a film I was watching without a digital screen before me??…!!! The sight of police arriving scatters them. They run away from the spot…but this life of theirs continues every day whispers my fellow neighbor who also keenly observes these frustrating lives of these young beautiful girls.

     Life spent in this manner indeed disgraces their personality and families. People who use them for the pleasure degrade them when it’s the matter of dignity and success.

     Lots of discussions, arguments and talks on this topic have been delivered but failure continues to happen. They speak of cause and effect, advantages and disadvantage, merits and demerits of prostitution and of being a prostitute. I did access some ideas on Google. This way of life saddens me. I feel sorry for the circumstances that brought them to this state of life. They have been unhealthy not just physically but also mentally/psychologically.

  May we extend our supporting hands in whatever way possible to help these ladies if they come across on our journey of Life? Shall we accept them as they are and not keep them aloof? They are human beings like u and me.

Fascinating hymn…

      There are a very few things in life that fascinate us. All that we see, touch, experience cannot have a lasting impression on us. A few thoughts, things, ideas, music, people, books, institutions, movies, stories, gadgets…. make our life’s journey easy and comfortable.
        One out of such few things in life is ‘music’. Music always fascinates me. Music grants me the trusted accompaniment both during my busy schedules and leisure. My journey of life receives its deserved comfort.      
        Here is a meaningful Kannada hymn that always draws me closer to God. Every time I lend my ears to this melody, I am comforted, strengthened and energized. I pray better. My communion with God increases. 
         Here is that enthralling hymn.

  

Little Wonders. 3-1-2012

       Gone r the days when the 7 prominent historical wonders were considered to be 'The Wonders' of the world. For me those 7 or 77 wonders don’t make any difference or generate any impact on my living. The reason is this, I haven’t personally experience their glory. Of course they have had their share in inspiring my thoughts and my imaginations.

     The little experience of life has given me lots of happy moments. I can always smile at my past. The quality time spent with those little wonders of life is what ultimately are, ‘The Wonders’ for me.

     A recent visit to my family and my neighborhood renewed my happiness. The innocence in the beautiful smiles of children always inspires me to be like them. The naughty play of cats and goats at my home bring back that childhood. The care and love of my near ones give me a heaven's ride... Journey of my Life receives its glitter every day with new thought, new encounter, new experience,
new talk, new work, and so on.

Cute wonders of my Life...!!! 

A New Start.. 1 - 1 - 2012

                 A great start indeed, my new year started in a low note though. The morning hours were dim and foggy may be because i didn’t realize it wz a special day for whole world. I started  the day thinking it wz another ordinary day. But the course of the day changed the experience.. During the day i spoke to my dear and near ones, which surrounded me with happiness. It showed me that i am loved and cared... I am really thankful for this experience.

     The evening of new year wz a great one. I got an opportunity to speak to the crowd of 75-85 about the unity and oneness of all the religions in an inter religious Christmas n new year program arranged by a few gooð hearted people of Ujire, Mangalore. It wz all in Kannada. My first public talk in Kannada. The interesting part of the speech wz, i enjoyed every word that i spoke. For me it wz a reflective talk. i could really feel d listening ears of the audience. I couldn't believe my ears that i could speak so convincingly in Kannada...
      It wz a glorious start of 2012. Thanks for all the opportunities and experience...which make my life's journey interesting and worth living.
