Hot star, humility and Bhajagovindam .. all in a day

Jab Main Chota ladka tha, when i was in 4th class...we went to Gandipet for family excursion which gave me the pleasure more than what i may get if i go to Switzerland kinds today. One of the vivid memories of that picnic was having a transistor with me and i was too kicked to listen to ball to ball commentary of England India  cricket series where Lever ripped India with his Vaseline tampered ball . If cricket is religion today, Test Cricket was oxygen for many like me those days . Time traveled, so much happened , tragedies, success , technological innovations, change in life style, relationships ,  meanings, definitions changed. Again it took cricket for me to appreciate and go gaga about technology.  

Life moved from Transis STAR( transistor) to hot STAR.  World cup cricket and IPL matches was best covered by this app and the mobile experience of watching cricket was just fantastic and mind blowing. Reliving of the nice raw experience of my childhood with the updated technology made me feel joyous.  


 The highest quality in spirituality is humility. There is a new interpretation of mine on humility.. People crave for recognition , acknowledgement , prove hard to get attention and boast of what they have done,  they will be ostentatious etc as there is an absence of inner fulfillment.  Since there is a lacunae inside, one tends to look outside the self for gratification , thus reflecting the immodesty.  This ideally should sound off that, one needs to strive hard to satisfy the inner self . Once this is accomplished , then we don't need to look outside. Any recognition then if it comes, will be taken in a detached manner and away from the focus on the self. The success is attributed to selfless attitude. This brings natural humility . if there is insufficiency on the need fulfillment one cannot be humble. In other words , humility precedes excellence . 

Hence the real successful and the accomplished tend to be humble and modest. and not the one who define success and achievement is narrow terms ..


Another thing , that stuck me today is that i stumbled upon BHAJA GOVINDHAM in search on GAANA app.  I was cooking and so heard this from distance. I knew this was not  M.S. Late Subba Lakshmi voice . I thought of getting to her work to listen but overcame the resistance and continued to listen .  It was damn good. I felt like me most majority are also stuck to the familiar and so get biased. No doubt M.S Subba lakshmi is the best . I discovered what i heard was Chitra's .. So much for bias and preferences . ha ha 


These are the few thoughts i was involved in today and dare to write here after grusha liked these thoughts..
