You've got to find what you love...

How to be satisfied in life? You've got to find what you love, and once you find, just do what you love.

This is precisely what keeps the tough going when the going gets tough. Am I getting a bit too preachy here? Not at all. May be I am throwing light on a simple fact which is capable of bringing joy to one's life.

All of us know who Steve Jobs is and what he has done. A child who was put up for adoption by his parents, a college drop out, a man who was fired from the company which he started, and of course 'the' man who has changed our lives with an 'i'.

Apple, was started by Steve and his friend in his parents' garage, when he was 20. In ten years it became a $2 billion company with more than 4000 employees, with Macintosh, their finest product capturing the imaginations of thousands across the globe. And say what, he got fired from his own company..!!! From the perverted genius he was, he got reduced to a laughing stock.

But one thing Steve never ceased to do was to love what he did. It could not have been anything else but this passion that would have urged him to start from the scratch again. The aura of being a successful entrepreneur was replaced by the spirit of a beginner. He entered one of the most creative periods of his career and established his new company Pixar, which created the first computer animated feature film - Toy Story and NeXT, which was later acquired by Apple itself..!!!! Thus Steve rejoined at the helm of Apple, and the technology which was developed by him at NeXT forms the crux of Apple's multi-billion business today.

The best thing Steve did was to find at an early age itself, what he loved to do. Once you start loving what you do, you believe that you do great work. Nothing else brings that sense of satisfaction in life. Never settle until you find it, and when you find it you will know it.

So what are you waiting for? Start loving what you do...

    Very true. Steve jobs aside, we have classic examples here of love for music without the need to look beyond our shores. Sri Purandara Dasa has composed over four hundred and seventy five thousand kirtanas discarding his wealthy life. This could happen only because of his staunch love for music.

MALLARI

Mallari as known to everybody is a musical form played on Nagaswaram at the outset of any deity’s procession. It is in a way, a signature tune and anyone can easily understand that the temple diety has commenced the rounds. The form and compositions of Mallari are generally believed to be the off-shoots of ‘Prabhandham’. Even though there are possibilities that the word “ Mallari” may have a tamil origin, we cannot say from which language it originally is. “ Malla ” means wrestler or Palanquin bearer and “ Ri ” means the voluminous sound produced by the palanquin bearer when they carry it. To equate this sound, the work mallari came to be used particularly in temples. An agama “Dhvajarohana vidhi” speaks about a tune called Mallara that should be sounded when the deity starts from its abode. The Mallara might have by the course of time, corruptly gained the name “Mallari”. Interestingly, there is a raga called Mallara a janya of Kharaharapriya (22 nd Mela) with the scal...

JAYA TV VIVEL CARNATIC MUSIC IDOL 2012 - A Sense of Destiny..

03 March 2012, marks another significant day in my life, as I was chosen as the Ist Runner Up, in JAYA TV VIVEL CARNATIC MUSIC IDOL 2012, once again, now the 2nd year in a row, by 'Destiny'. Once again the full house at the Chettinad Vidyashram Hall, instilled a chill down my spine, and of course I must say, some moments from the last year's competition flashed across my mind, as if it happened a week ago. I feel really blessed to have received the award from Padmavibhushan Sangeetha Kalanidhi Dr Balamurali Krishna, one moment which I would cherish for my life. I can for some strange reason feel a sense of destiny over all these events, and am eagerly waiting for the challenges lying ahead. A big thank you to my Beloved Gurus, all my Well Wishers.. and a lot of hugs to my family. Let all your blessings guide me forward..

Ind v/s Pak S/F - Thoughts About Match Fixing Are Baseless.. I will say Why..

First of all my congratulations and best wishes to Team India, though i was terribly disappointed at Sachin missing the "Century Of Centuries", I am glad that now he has the chance to fulfill that dream of every Indian, at the Grandest Stage Of Them All, the world cup final, at his home ground, the Wankhede.. Honestly, I am annoyed at hearing all these baseless doubts that the Semifinal was fixed.. And more over it is not coming from the Intelligence Dept / Police, or the Pakistanis who lost the match, or from the ICC.. these doubts come in the mind of Indians. Some times i feel only we can think like this.. ( as Actor Vivek often says.... athu thaan nammala paathu Worlde naduguthu..lol ). What it does is nothing but degrade the charm of our hard earned victory over arch rivals. The doubts have been raised by many of my friends... And these are the reasons they have, to support their 'ridiculous' claim. I have my own answers for them 1. Why did not Pakistan ta...
