MY FIRST POST

Hi folks,

My eyes are misty. There is a lump in my throat. There is nothing in the space between my ears!

Only a roaring vacuum, stinging my pride with every passing minute.

God! What a fool I have been! Such a great man, but not yet a blogger! That too,with so much of wisdom and experience to share with the scum of the earth that go by the name 'Homo Sapiens'!

Being a Great Man, I have no choice but to make amends and reclaim my greatness in the shortest time possible. My dear admirers, Iam going to do just that.

To tell the truth (that is, what great men do all the time) it was a daily labourer from Tamil Nadu that opened my eyes to the pitiable shameful deprivation of the freedom of expression that Iam wallowing in. When he came to me for his wages after a honest days labour, I asked him, just for the sake of asking something, How is life in our God's Own Country?

Without deigning to open his mouth, he simply collected his wages, made sure I had'nt cheated him. After a long wait, trying to hide the displeasure at having not received a reply from a lowly manual worker, I blurted out: Hey man, why don't you give me a reply? You know, I was just trying to be decent and civil and you ....

The labouorer (his name is Murukesan, I learned later) looked up with an expression of bewilderment. Master, I never thought of insulting you. I have to catch the Inter City Express Train at 5.30, it's 5.15 already, that is all. If you want to know about my impressions on Kerala, Please look up my daily blog, Migrant Deserts Inside God's Own Country.

I felt as though a huge rolling boulder was taking me with it into the depths!

God! What have I done to undergo such disgrace! I thought and thought. Only then I understood the meaning of the story of Lord Shiva appearing as a Chandala in front of the Great Shankarachaarya and killing his ego.

Now I have made up my mind. I will spread my teachings to one and all using this medium. Let everybody benefit!

One thing I have to remind you: Please dont use this to further your selfishness!

THat's all for now, folks. Keep in touch.
