I was always interested in finding out whether any truth or connection exists between our 'puranas' and our present century. The story of Lord shiva and his third eye is known to all. It is a known fact that he opens his third eye to destroy evil. "Tryambaka Dev " that is what he is known as.
There is story about how he got his third eye. It is said that one day he was meditating and his wife Parvati came from behind and closed his eyes. With that the whole universe plunged into darkness in order bring back the The Lord Made a third eye.
The opening of the third eye is supposed to destroy evil.It is opened only when he is angry.
Now a days there is a scientific explanation for the third eye.It is supposed to be the partially dormant pineal glands in the brain. This pineal glands are partially responsible for dreams & hallucinations. It is also used as a metaphor for enlightenment.
So it is time now for all of us to open our third eye

Father
For MY FATHER
I have always wanted to hear that I am more special than my siblings from my father. But all I heard was “you are my stepini tyre”. This was because I have an elder sister and a younger brother. So with out me also the family was complete. Now it is more than14 years since we lost him. I was in college; my sister just completed her PG, and brother was in 12th. How these years passed with its ups and downs in our life, I don’t know. We just managed to come out unscathed may be because of the good base that he gave us.
He was very stingy as far as showing emotions. Only a very few occasions I saw tears in his eyes. One incident I clearly remember I was studying in the Engineering college and staying in hostel. My brother along with father had come to give some entrance exam which he could not clear. Father was very disturbed by this as my brother was not very good at academics and out of the blue asked me to help him out in the future. Now I want him to know that he is doing well for him self .
As an individual he was doing well for himself. He lost his parents early in life and took care of his siblings and got his sisters married well and was a parent figure to them. May be it was his destiny to complete that responsibility. I have never heard him complain why this had happened to him.
I always thought the way you left us was unfair and always asked god why this should happen to us. I still remember the phone call to my hostel, though they did not tell me what has happened I knew it was all over. Massive cardiac arrest that is what they said. And when I saw the body it was not the way I wanted to remember you. I wish I had not seen it that way.
Now I want to talk to you and see our children and husbands. I just wish I am not late in telling you this. I remembered you every time something good happened in my life, my marriage, and motherhood. Only those who lost their loved ones understand why I still get tears when I think of him. I think you would have been proud of your children today as all the three of us are doing well for ourselves.
I always wonder why you never lived to see good things happening to us. I sometimes think God was unfair to you. You never started a day without praying to God. But then sometimes I think, you never asked God for good things for yourself. I am sure you asked God to take care of your family, which he did fulfill.
So “Achan” you can take a good rest now.

Reality Shows
I like watching some of the realty shows. But now a days every channel has one in some form or other. People quarreling with one another to raise TRP rating of the channel. Some of them use so abusive language that you can only hear 'beeps'. Do we have any norms for reality shows ? I don't think so.
I hate when see small kids participating and getting eliminated. Imagine the pain the kid must be going through . It is bound to stay with them for ever. It is high time we make some rules for these shows. In some ways the parents are also to blame for pushing the child to participate. How can a few celebrities sitting their judge a kid for a 3minute performance and say whether he/she is bad or good.

Kids talk
Today my daughter came back from school with a big news. One of the boys in her class kissed her friends. The very fact that she thought that it was an issue surprised me. She is 7 yrs old. I think the generation gap is catching up on me. I actually did not know what to tell her. I now know this generation is growing up faster than we were.
I can see smile on her face when she sees certain scenes in TV. She has whole lots of doubts now. She knows now how get things done from me. She has started using her younger brother (he is 3 yrs) as a shield. And he is learning it from her. The fashion awareness the kids have is amazing. I am actually dreading the day when my daughter will tell me I am outdated. In some way I like it. They are much more independent than we were during our times. It may be because of the fact that both the parents are working and to certain extent they have to manage them selves
I just don't under stand what has caused our children to grow up so fast. Is it the visual media ? They are actually addicted to cartoon channels. My son knows the names of all the cartoon characters he watches. But as a mother of two small kids now I am careful of the contents of the programme they watch. Todays generation is actually progrmmed to be a step ahead of us and I am proud of them.
