LIE LIFE

I wonder how some people speak lies all the time, every time, any given time.  They talk lies with no reason, there is no benefit for them or to others to whom they speak. They just speak lies..; suppose they bought a sari for Rs 300/ but they tell others that it is 700.. even though the other did not esquire  about the cost....They speak lies to their spouse, to their children, to their friends, to their acquaintances too, even to a person who happens to travel with them for an hour.  The LIE is on their tongue,  they never feel fear that they would be put to asham or their reputation ruins once they are known as lairs of all seasons.  These people  appreciate others also without reason and there too speaking lies just to make them fall into their net

. When i was teaching about the 10 commandments to Sunday school children i used to teach them tha we used to call jackle the cunning in Telugu, Jithulamaari Nakka... Once Jesus called Herod a Jackle... how can any one love a Jackle where the principle of love applies to such jackles? our very existence is at stake when we move with them how come the question of love.. oh .. suggest me ... any possibility , if u can..


  1. You shall have no other gods before me.
     
  2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
     
  3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
     
  4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
     
  5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
     
  6. You shall not murder.
     
  7. You shall not commit adultery.
     
  8. You shall not steal.
     
  9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
     
  10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.                                 I used to teach the 9 commandment  , telling the children that they should not speak lies.   but now  a days i see people are not only talking lies every where, but they are also telling testimonies on the stages of churches with full of lies. They say the things of God which never happen in their lives as if they happened to them.  Here again the 3rd commandment is misused by them  Thou shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.   This is too hilarious  to think. Do not they have their own circles to speak such lies, as if it is not enough they misuse the Temple of God too for the lies they pamper.  Jesus said,  Devil is a lier, he speaks lies according to his own original nature.  when he speaks he does not contemplate to speak a lie , but he just speak a lie.  because He is the father of lies.        The life with such miserable beings of Lies is so terrible. We cannot predict what she would speak the next moment. we do not know how she manipulate the happenings in her own cunning lying way. No wonder there is no friendship to a man of God with such a person who speak lies all the time. It look like a cobra is lieing down beside him or moving around in the house.    No wonder he is afraid every moment wondering at which moment the cobra try to bit him How can a person be friendly with such liers. Every minute is a test, every minute is trail , every minute is a dangerous spot. Do not when the word YES means No, and when the word NO means yes.  Life would be miserable to the children or the spouse in the house.    
  11.  A person who  has trespassed one commandment  trespassed  all the commandments, that is what Jesus told us too.   when  a person speak lies he speaks false witness and take the name of God in vain, and he does it because he wants to steal, or covet ether's things, and cannot honour the parents too . Because everything is inter mingled, and inter twined.  Nothing is separated from the other.  we cannot trust such person with our money, or they would never bother to give account of the money they spent on our behalf.. because ther eis lie in it. woe unto them who live in fear, because they are liers... but some time like the Devil  , the Snake they show shameless power and bravity on their faces in spite of speaking lies.  But our Lord has bruised the ehad of the Snake, and the end of it is very near and so is the fate of liers.

Past is Present

Life goes on and on, whether you like it or not till the day the Lord appointed you to breath your last.
Mind works on and on whether your body is fragile or withered away, till there is the breath in thy nostrils.
Soul searches  on and on  to gain the perfect image of itself, till it merges into the Greater Being.
Friends come and go... as you do respond to them with all your might and matters.
Family... ? Family is a family only when You live together underr one roof, when the day come the nest become empty, you are no more wanted ... and craved for, because you are no more use to them.  Husband and wife live in this India, till the death makes them apart because they have no other go.  Financially and socially they are bound and therefore they live like two earthworms eating the dust and digesting it , thinking that is the great work they are doing for themselves.
Knowing all this the man lives in a hope , hoping against the hope, planning, and fantasizing, believing that they are useful to some Tom and Jerry, in one nook and corner of this vast world.
But once you sit back , relax and observe people as in a birds view, and observe the great life stories of the so called popular leaders, achievers, experts, and cine artists,  you would see how the life ends at the end.
Life is a tragedy. Because it is death that ends it.  However you live, however you are adored , and however you make things terrible / or comfortable for the others, your life ends tragically, good death, bad death, accidental death... whatever be the death, death is death.  The heart stops, breathing stops, and brain stops to work. There ends the however be the great life in this world.
Some of us used to think , to be good wife and good mother is all tht needed.  Alas!! what a mirth it causes when you sit back and reflect over such roles you played so skillfully. We live as if the husband is all that matter in life. His happiness is our happiness. when he smiles we work in gaiety When he frowns, we depress in our soul, and feels that the sky is falling on our head and runs and runs around as of that little chick in the childhood stories.
From dawn to night we toil hard, hoping and believing that children and husband would give  a little smile of thanks to our efforts. Oh that is like asking the moon to come into my lap.  They think that its the duty of the wife to work like that. They take granted that mother should sacrifice her life for the sake of the comfort of the children. Even to appriciate the little dainty tasty little dishes on the table takes a lot of happiness from theri minds, for they consider that if they appreciate her, she would become like the frog in the lake making beck beck beck and boast herself.. or she would make that particular dish again and again... Alas again, these assumptions and other makes them the most ungrateful people under the same roof.
As the children grow up and as they do attain greater degrees of academic achievements their mother becomes smaller and smaller in their sight.
They jsut think that she is of no use, in their circles. They think that even to take her out, is a burden, as they call her as an extra luggage, because she cannot move as fast as they can.
They feel asham if she moves freely in their social circles thinking that she is too much for their friends, forgetting that she was the one who led them carefully into the world, and she was the one who taught them the etiquette, .  she was the one who spent much for their good looks forgetting her own looks.
Even husband like to appreciate the good qualities of any body else, very fastly recognizing them, encouraging them, but his eyes become blindfolded to see the talents in his own wife.
Once got married, the women's life lost all encouragement, which she used to get from her parents. I think even this is possible only in those homes where there are no male issues. The girl child with her siblings get encouragement from her father to go up in the life ladder.
If son is there, again she faces the gender inequality and suppressed and oppressed in many ways. (80%)
In the homes of the children, the widowed mother is most wanted than the widowed father. Because she would be handy with their little kids.  whereas fathers are only another luggage obstructing them to move around.  Mother can be useful to wash the vessels, or cook some food, here again she satisfies them only 50% becasue her way of cooking , and the way they ate the dainty dishes at her table in their childhood , become taboos, and poisonous, toxic substances.. She would be a great help to be baby sitter, rather than a mother. Her advice on any topic become out of context and outdated. Her laughter makes them dizzy. Her way of eating and sleeping and everything will be scrutinized in concave lenses, zoomed 500% and under the pretext of caring her health makes her life miserable.
Once she becomes sick, she is more useless than the skin of the banana. If she lives in her home, or in their home the matters worsen her health. They never care about her mental peace, but restrict her not to move or see anything saying that makes things worse. They never allow any one to visist her  telling her that they cannot maintain the visitors. Here i remember the movie, "THE BUCKET LIST"....Two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson in The Bucket List  ACTED  wonderfully,TWO terminally ill patients discover a rare bond of friendship in the clinical environs of a hospital room and draw up a `bucket list' of things they'd like to do, before they hit the bucket. Ordinary. But if the dying duo includes Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, the ordinary story gets a dash of extraordinary. Specially when the two are poles apart and are called upon to play characters they are adept at essaying.

Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson: the irascible, mean, impolite millionaire who has made his millions, but has no one to share the bounty with. He's failed miserably in all his relationships, despite being married four times and having a daughter who hasn't seen him for years. The only person he can communicate with is his secretary, but he makes it a point to be offensive with him too. Morgan meanwhile, is so very Morgan: the gentle giant who may not have the millions, having spent his life under cars as a mechanic; yet he has family, family values and faith. Despite their class differences, the two cancer patients find a camaraderie that sees them sharing some of the most memorable moments of their lives together, even as they attend to all the unfinished business before signing off. So you have them sky diving, Himalaya climbing, Taj wowing, Pyramid gazing....and giving each other the lessons in life that still remain unlearnt.

A sweet, feel good film about death and friendship, The Bucket List is more about kalakars (actors) than
and this picture became my inspiration and guideline if ever I become terminally ill. I want to get medical help only from Govt hospital, or a catholic hospital. not in other hospital. and never at the mercy any one or any body. 
In my old age i wish to spend in a Old age home rather than to live  and become a stumbling block to any person I am saving something for myself so that in my stormy days, i at least get some thrill in life asin Bucket list. .. I know life is not cinema, but the theme of the picture is awesome.  Free soul is all that matter. Free soul cannot be tied up and ruled over, or oppressed.   this Picture also has christian message, from Freeman to Nicholson.
This thing I like in English movies, Most of the movies are with a message. a lesson for life. No dances or shouting, stunting,( a lean hero beating /wrestling 50 people ata time, hahaha funny scenes, and vulgar jokes by buffoons of the cine field..)Lady villians, break dances , etc makes most of the Telugu films90% makes the viewers mad dogs, and they behave like that in real life too.
Think what you gained, Think what you loose in your personal relations, Jesus told us only one thing, Love others, cant you love your mother and respect her for what all that she did strive for your comfortable life? cant you remember for all the tears she shed for you in her lonely prayers. Can you get a heart like hers? and can you get a mother like her in this life?

/Read this little story.........


A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."
The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose."
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.

your presence , your touch , your smile is all that she wants, not your duty-bound- drops -of affection.

Life goes on and on... and Past is becoming Present, what we see in others are seen in us, in our own lives.. we too behave like that.. by the time we realize what is our mistake, the people who were deserved to get our attention leave us.. and they never come back to us, however we regret we cannot talk to them or let them know how sorry we are!!
So Awake, Arise do the needful in time.  Let not the Present become the Past. Give time to introspect your inner feelings.. There is a darker side of every being.

Old is Gold


                  There is sweetness and hotness, and beauty and rhythm, and harmony in the past.   I do not know the past of the present generation. I do not know ever they could think of their past with nostalgic feelings like we do of younger girls of 1960s....and 70s. I feel that was the golden age of people on this Earth. The wonderful English pictures.like  the Ten Commandments, Sound of Music,My fair lady,  and some other classics.  And those wonderful Hindi, Telugu, and English  songs... with melodious music and theme, like Ye mera prem pathr,  Pagale vennala, and Oh Diana... and singers like Latha, suseela , Jim reeves... !!!
                   The jobs were plenty , the studies were concentrated, the novels and magazines were meaningful. The Radio, the cinema, the books , the schools were conveying values like punctuality, honesty, love, respect, manners, patriotism,  fear of God, discipline, and sacrificial life. There was hormony among the people, we never knew the caste of our friends, the inter religious , and inter caste marriages were many. People used to try to keep their word given.        
                   Clothes were very limited, but those were very choosy and beautiful.  Food items on the table were  very limited too, but tasty and dainty.  When we go to hotel, which was a very rare phenomena, there were hardly 4 or 5 items on the menu list on the black board, and they were good and healthy items. There was honesty among the businessmen and they were trying to keep the customers by their best services.
                     We used to have family doctors, who visit the house often, and who knows the medical history of every member in the home. The simple medicine they prescribe used to heal us and restore our health in no time.
              People used to trust one another, the cheaters are looked down by whole society and avoided by every one. so Good name Good reputation were being sought by 99% of the people. Workers have the virtue of gratitude, and used to give the best services to their masters, saying that they owe much to them for they eat at their homes.
            The education in the schools do not cover much syllabus, but every one in the class become good students, by learning good language techniques. On the whole people used to think and live according to their hearts' dictation. Therefore the life was simple and sweet. No complications of misunderstandings, Friendship was without any tags, it was just sweet communion between them.
I invite comments of disagreement and agreement  please do so.

Summer, Summerer, and Summerest

Summer, the hottest season of the life;  No life out side, all faces are withered, all people are tired and sweating, too many accidents on the roads, and the derailment of the rail bogies, death  and thirst prevails the day. No body dares to go out, except the employees and business people.  There is power cut all through the night, and many hours in the day.  Life is  at stand still.  Nobody likes to meet the other or like to invite the other to home. In fact no body like to go to others house.  The heat wave is so much everybody terrified to leave the doors.
 The floor and the roof of the house is hot, the chairs and car tops, steering, and the seat of the two wheeler is hot.  the water in the taps are hotter.  There are so many deaths due to heat wave. The children and old people suffer much. The patients and pregnant women suffer much more. Strange disease like swine flu and bronchitis  , colora prevails here and there. Prickly heat makes the faces  ugly.. to look at.  And people shout at the other and quarrel without reason as they are too tired to speak softly.

Some people like  us get up early in the morning,  and finish the days course quickly before  the sun rises, and hide ourselves in the little rooms where AC is available.  Takes long showers of bath, and use plenty of talcum powder and some mild perfumes, to make life easier, and drinks lots of water preserved in the clay pot.
White saris, and facial massages, and water melons make life tolerable.  Endless chit chat on the mobile, and endless viewing of the TV news, and real life stories here and there in a few channels help to pass on the hours in the day time to pass on .

But only a few people have such easy life, may be the hosuewives enjoy this life all throuh their life time. But as this is the first time to stay back in the blessed Eluru in this month after a gap of 6 years, I am wondering, how come the people in Eluru are surviving all this Summer.

The munjulu( white soft little juicy fruits taken from hard core black bi fruit.), mangoes, mallelu,( white little scented flowers) water melons, karbuja,  make life colorful even in this terrified heat of the day. Shopping in AC malls makes life a bit cozy and comfort.  And the long drive in the evenings thrills the spirit, though the spirit of the engine has become too costly, i.e,. Rs, 81. 35 paise per leter.  The vegetables become too costly, the politics has become too dirty. It look like all mad dogs are left on the streets at once.  Barking , shouting, criticizing, ridiculing, and self boasting  has become the principle of the these TV politician dogs.

For the common man , a few bags of rice, a pot of pure water , and a few clothes only and power isare enough, and he could be easily satisfied , but it also became a rare phenomena in India.  the politicians are robbing crores,  cheating in crores,  talking in terms of crores. Money and power is the rule of the day. Black mailing and corruption is the values of the human dogs.  There is no place for honesty, interety,  students copy  in the exams, and teachers help the mass copying.  children kill the parents for property, and parents sell the children for money.
Life on the whole is absurd, terrible , and stupid.
But still there is the ray of hope for the people who trust in God but not in the money in the purse, or bank.
His helping hand is there always, to shelter his children from the heat of the day, and storms of the life.God  is more needed now in the life more than any time.

Since the Face Book

Since the Face Book started into my life, during my last visit to Virginia, there has been dearth of postings in my blog.  The thirst for writing , and publishing , and sharing with family and friends through the blog has been replaced by Facebook. In short, I found there would be more viewers and readers of my postings in Facebook, rather than my blog, as there are limited social net work friends for me here:;  and also it is not viewed publicly as it in the case of Facebook,
But , alas, I lost the most beautiful way of articulating my thoughts into words, in Facebook. The nature of Facebook is it would not allow you to put pages and pages of life history, observations, and reflections , as the space provided there is limited. And that too, now a days no body has time and patience to read pages, hardly they find time to read a few lines.  How many days , may be 25/30 days of a month the news paper lies there on the portico without being read, Because the news comes in it early in the morning is already out dated. The TV gives Breaking News all the time, and the public are aware of the incidents in a second, as it happens. Sometime/ More times, they see live shows of news, so the Headlines in the news papers are already 24 hours late information for us in this speedy world.
And about the magazines, books, short stories, novels... oh, no place for these beautiful friends in the homes and in the lives of the people. TV,& Computesr are fulfilling every craving for new information.
A book in the hand, in the bus stop , orat traveling points, is replaced by Ipod, mobile cells. and lap tops.
Hardly we see any one reading a book in public places.  We used to read some book or magazine while waiting for the Doctor's appointment, even that is replaced by small idiot box on the wall. Every patient and his attendant are glued to this box stretching their necks up, to stare at the screen.  Hardly the human relations takes place.
 The family is the most effected and destroyed unit due to the high tech appliances of Information.
               In this context, could we go back to the past golden days? Impossible. It cannot be.  In fact if we go further into our ancestors lives, they were more happier than any one. Because, the Speed did not touch their lives. They were the agriculture folks, depending upon the Nature, for their livelihood, The nature taught them to wait patiently for the fruit of the land. Patience is the letter of life. Their attitudes, emotions, life pattern everything ruled by patience, the lessons taught by the Mother Nature.  The result of theri hard work and patience is Fruit of the land to meet their simple needs. But now the result of man's toil is Paper bucks, We fill our granaries, Banks with paper, unlike the food grains. Do not know when this paper money lost its value, the humankind is allways at the brink of suspension, tension, and uncertainity.
 Our old saying, is, " One who trusts the land never fails"  is true by all means.
But again the question, can we go back to that Seed values, leaving this Speed values??
Can not be. Life is at its hike. Technology, Globalization, Privatization, cannot take back step.
As a result, the family relations are taken up as just contract. and for the selfhish errands. No commitment, no sacrifice, no love.. these are the strange and useless words for the present day generation.
What is life for , after all to live happily. If this is not achieved what is the use of earning and working and saving and working?  
My question is, can we find Time to develop our soft skills, like, expression of love, acts of commitment, and sacrifice, deeds of kindness....? Whatever you do , However you are busy without a little time for yourself, there won't be a sigh of peaceful contentment in your heart.  Remember there is difference between Sheep and goats all the time. Sheep are sheep, goats are goats... their deeds of spending their money, time, makes the difference. Thier expression of love and affection makes the difference. Their life goals, of searching for the needy and poor, meeting their needs makes the difference. Forget about what you do for your after life., here in this world one hour / or one half day in a month for such needy, the time you spent with them, the comforting hand you lend to them makes all the diffence.... FIND WHAT YOU NEED THE MOST... DON'T LET THE LIFE STEER YOU, YOU STEER YOUR LIFE... because the Poor are allways there for you .
