GROWTH & CHANGE

Behind every successful man, there is a surprised woman.  But behind every happy man, there are many silent women.  In the 21 st century, driven by technology with a growing number of gratificationseekers, understanding oneself in terms of one’s potential and limitations to lead a happy and fulfilling life is increasingly becoming complex. While we can observe or experience the changes happening around us and realize the necessity to modify ourselves, as we grow older, adapting to change becomes more difficult.  Born in a middle-class, not-so-conservative family living in the then beautiful Bangalore, around the time when India became a full-fledged Republic[1], growing up was easy and fun-filled. My mother tells me that when she was relaxing after lunch in the main hall of our ancestral house, on a cosy afternoon towards the end of July, I popped out of her, as if in a tearing hurry to see how the real world looks like. She also tells me that no one was around at that ti...

FEAR AND FREEDOM

“Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man, but lies in the first step of his existence”. –Jiddu Krishnamurthy (1980) Even with all the materialistic comforts and a fair amount of understanding of life, the one thing that most of us will always love to have is freedom.

When my father admitted me to the school, he gave my name as Srinivasa Rangan but I interrupted and told the school principal, “...
  “Transformation does not happen by learning new information. It happens when you change how you view and react to other people, events, and things around you”. I started feeling helplessness when I was about seven. My elder sister who was suffering from Type-1 Diabetes succumbed to the disease when she was just about twelve. This happened within a few weeks of our moving to Khadakavasala (a small town situated seven and a half miles from Pune) following my father’s transfer from Bangalore. I saw the elders at home wailing and didn’t know how to console them. The fact that my sister didn’t return home after my father had taken her out with a few of our neighbours and his colleagues made me seek the reason for it. I was told that she has reached God. It was only a couple of years later I learnt a little more about death.   When I was almost nine, I was afflicted by eczema and it was terribly itchy and painful. I suffered from jaundice a couple of years later; there were severe...
