I am not anyone’s ‘Guru’!
I get few mails where people address me as Guruji. There are people who call me Guruji. And there are few who think I am a real Guru, who can help them, achieve salvation. This kind of treatment makes me feel awkward and at times funny. Of course there was a time when I wanted to be a replica of Osho Rajneesh and wanted to create a weekend meditation resort. That way sometime back I also wanted to be like Krishnamachari Shhrikanth, who could smash the ball all across the ground.

Refer me but don’t promote me!
I had a Delhi-based chat friend a couple of years back. We used to chat online literally everyday, and she used to openly talk about all her problems of life with me. Thankfully I wasn’t an astrologer that time. Those were the days when I used to think being a good listener is a boon. It was much later I realized that to listen to someone woes or ‘dukh bhari’ story is to invite troubles – both on personal and spiritual front.

I have been reading Indian super star Amitabh Bacchan’s blog for a couple of days now. I am amazed at his humility in dealing with his fans and also at his patience in acknowledging people’s comment. I am nobody to comment about his blog content though. How can a spark come anywhere close to a blazing inferno? I am a great fan of Amitabh, and have grown up watching his movies and imitating his body language. And I am one among those million Indians who prayed for his good health, when he met with an accident during the shoot of Coolie. I think I was just 8 years old then!

Am I bad tempered?
I think I am a bit bad tempered. I guess all knew it long back, but then I realized it very recently. In normal conditions – I love peace, I like humor and I always try to greet and smile first. I love to have a wholesome laughter too. But then there are few things that trigger the animal in me instantaneously, and I try to behave nasty. I don’t hate people at all. But then I hate few attitudes they carry. I stick to what Jesus Christ beautifully said in this context – Hate the sin and not the sinner!

Rules
*First
I mention them in your report but then I don’t discuss astrological rules and astrological jargons with anyone. The day will come, when I might pass on everything I know to someone who deserves. Hence kindly don’t try to let me know about how much astrology you know. It pisses me off completely.

Why do we fall for glamour?
A couple of years back I had this funny pain in both my heels. I consulted various good doctors who owned clean dispensaries, the latest medical equipment, and working air conditioners. But none could help me much. The pain persisted. My wife insisted that I should visit the Chennai government hospital – at least once. I went there without much hope. My mother in law is kind of adept at the existing system there, and with her help, I consulted a doctor. The atmosphere was bad, the energy was nauseating and the doctors looked sicker than the patients!

IPL – Indian ‘porkhel’ League
Due to limited time the match overs were reduced to 5. The toss was put. They didn’t have a coin, and hence the ‘in or out’ method was used. (I never knew this particular system still existed after nearly 2 decades I stopped playing cricket. We would place a small stone in our hand, close it and whirl the hand and either keep the stone inside or let it go. The other team should say whether the stone is in or out). They won the toss, and like any other team elected to bat first. There were 4 members in one team, and 4 on the opposite already and I happened to be the 9th person. So the boys decided to make me play double sided – meaning I will bowl, bat and field from both the sides!

Thinking of committing suicide? Ask me how to!
The year was 2000 AD. One of my friends was about to be ditched by his girl friend. He said he wants to commit suicide. I said perfectly fine. I knew another friend of mine whose mother was a psychiatric patient. She used to have a particular medicine in the nights to sleep the whole night without any breaks. It is a simple logic. She had just one teaspoon of it and it you have the whole bottle – you surely will sleep for whole of your life. My friend agreed, but then he never gave me the money to buy it. The friend is still alive, and will get married this year probably.

Sex, Semen and Saints!
“If people think that I am a celibate, then I think they are fools.” Well that isn’t my statement. It was one of Osho’s statements, which he told a reported during his hay days.
On to my blog now…

Mera Bharat Mahaan!
I was right, and he was wrong. It would have been a major accident, if we had not stopped our cars at the right moment. I asked him, what was wrong with him? And he replied, keep going! I stopped my car to warn him, and this time he deliberately came and hit my car from the behind. Thankfully nothing happened to my car, but I hated his arrogance. He is one among those illiterate and uncivilized people who drive taxis in Chennai. I asked him to stop, but he kept going. I ran with a stone in my hand (the scene was indeed funny) and another feet I would have broken his glass pane. He stopped. I took his owner’s phone number and called him. He said, these things keep happening. I surely would have kept going if it were an accident. But this piece of shit hit me deliberately. The company’s name is Mass Travels in Chennai. I am mentioning the name so that someday when the owner’s son googles for his father company, he should know that his father should have rather pimped his wife to earn money than running a irresponsible business with the help of criminals.

Bottled Water – A Fashion Statement!
Without asking me when the hotel servers place bottles of mineral water on my table thinking I would not refuse to accept it - I ask them to take it off immediately and make them bring me ‘saadaa’ (plain) water to drink. I know he might feel that I don’t belong to the elite upwardly moving rich people as yet - but then I don’t care. I think it is a duty of any eatery or hotels to first provide clean drinking water free – even without asking. And if they insist us to buy bottled water for hygiene purpose – then it surely means that there own water isn’t clean enough. If water isn’t clean, how could we expect their food to be clean?

Konjam adjust pannunge!
It has been my life pattern so far. I would always move to a house away from the city (which doesn’t have any facilities), the moment I go there the area would start developing faster than ever, and then the rents will skyrocket and I would be made to vacate. In the year 2000, people at office would laugh at me when I said I am commuting from Thoraipakkam (Old Mahabalipuram Road - OMR) to Mount Road for job. OMR developed so fast that my servant maid is a lakhpathi today. She sold her land for 40 lakhs, and I think I need to become her servant now!

God isn’t cruel to us!
Our aspiration of an ideal life is to be born perfectly with an extraordinary IQ, to study from premier schools and score the maximum marks, to get into number one institute for higher studies, to do our post graduation from foreign universities, to work in branded firms directly at managerial cadres, to get married to the first person we fall in love who is good looking, knowledgeable, sensuous and non-egoistic, to be blessed with kids at the time we want them, to have kids who are normal, to have kids who study well and to make them study from good institutes, to make them get the best of the jobs, and to pray for our kids to have a happy married life ever after….. We as human beings never want anything lesser than the above list. And if by chance there is any discrepancy in any of the aforesaid areas – we ask - why is God so cruel and that too why only me?
