Warrier's Collage 01112020 : Excerpts

Welcome to Warrier's Daily COLLAGE November 1, 2020 Sunday Your daily dose of inspiration, writings - by you, for you : Curated by MG Warrier 🙏 1 Prayer https://youtu.be/vfPIl3wFw-E (Vishnu Sahasranamam : Dhyanam) 2 Music https://youtu.be/CZnKuXO0oAk (Teri Pyari Pyari Surat Ko....) (Movie : Sasural) (Link courtesy : Ramesh Warrier Thiruvanantapuram) 3 Quote for the Day : "It is better to have ten skeletons in your closet, than walk with no bones." -Anthony Liccione Posted by M G Warrier A. Interaction 1) Dr Prabha Ramadurai "I find no words to praise the enormous progress of Collage. The quality and contents are growing by leaps and bounds. Except Mrs. Vathsala Jayaraman, other writers are literally new to me. Each and every article is shining as a gem in the crown of the Collage. Today (October 31, 2020) as soon as I opened the whatsapp, the song from Rudaali sung by Lata Mangeshkar welcomed me. Thanks to Shri Ramesh Warrer. All songs in Rudaali are very beautiful. Music by (late) Shri Bhupen Hazarika is heart touching. Today I listened to the original version of the song in Bengali sung by Bhoopen himself. I was happy that even after 52 years I didn't forget Bengali I learnt while in Nagour in 1968. My best wishes to all the participants." (Thanks. Collage, with cooperation from readers like you, will endeavour to grow and fulfill such expectations. Ramesh Warrier is an architect based in Thiruvananthapuram with interest in poetry, music etc. A collection of his poems is being published shortly. Incidentally, Collage was conceived as a platform for my contacts across generations and professions to come together and chit-chat. I'm also a participant. I find this experiment Interesting-Warrier) 2) C V Subbaraman* Most of us are seniors and super seniors. We have our own past, habits, likes, dislikes, admirations and other qualities. We all tend to do our duty in the manner in which Gita teaches us - Karmanyevaadhikaarasthe ........... So I believe that we are part of this - doing our duty every day, whether one mail for five mails or five mile mails. Let's not get disheartened if the response level is not up to our "expectations", as expectations arise when we do the Karma in quest of "Phala" too. Readers respond when they feel like responding, depending upon their own moods on any given day, any given time, when they happen to read our postings. Sometimes readers respond long, sometimes short, sometimes with silence! Take them in their strides. Best Wishes." (*This is an adapted version of excerpts from a mail received from Subbaraman Sir yesterday in some other context addressed to someone else. Thought some readèrs of Collage will be interested. From Collage, the request to readers is, please respond only when you have something to tell others. Your early morning messages when Collage is delayed or "Good Morning" are sufficient encouragement for Collage to come out even on days it "declared holidays". Always feel free to get back when you find anything objectionable in the content in Collage. Collage expects post facto blessings from CVS Sir for the liberty taken to borrow his response this way-Collage) AA From here and there a) Exit of Garg https://m.economictimes.com/news/economy/policy/working-with-her-would-be-difficult-former-finance-secretary-says-nirmala-sitharaman-shunted-him-out-of-her-ministry/amp_articleshow/78968324.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst&__twitter_impression=true If the link opens, please read this ET Report.
