I was startled to get a query from an young online friend about ghosts and spirits. She is in her teens and has currently dropped out from college. She firmly beleives she is jinxed by one of her classmates! I was shocked to find that she even tried to commit suicide twice!
I cannot let this young little girl slip and fall into a world of insanity. But what can i do sitting in a remote mofussil miles away from a busling metro. I'll pray. Mother, fill her heart with love and confidence. Protect her.

Shed Your Tears
In Thattekkad reservoir near Kothamangalam in Ernakulam District, a boat carrying school children capsized killing 15 children and 3 teachers. The news papers and electronic media had a great time. They were really celebrating bringing out special editions and centre-spread pull outs full of photos of the tragedy.
Eighteen bodies were laid out on the courtyard of a rural school. The whole village was weeping. Going through the stories, I too felt uneasy. For a split second, i imagined myself as an unfortunate father among them. Pointing to a photo in newspaper my 4 year old little one asked why those children were sleeping. I told something else.
How suddenly and cleverly our leaders assume somberness fit for the situation. Extraordinary cabinet meeting in the school itself! Another enquiry commision constituted! But who cares? Is the boat driver alone responsible for such a tragedy? Can they ever book the real culprits?

How i started writing here
Should i write? This was the first question that came up to my mind when i finished reading sav's blogs. It was pretty well written peices, and words seemed to be flowing directly from her heart.
"Try writing", someone inside me said. Sav's writing was tempting indeed, and i began creating my space in this blog spot.
When it came to naming my blog, i was stuck again. I started to think, but to no avail.
My colleague Sadar asked me something about work, and I was a bit irritated. Suddently something flashed inside my mind. 'Crystalclear"! I was excited because I was searching for such a word. I typed in the word and completed the process.
From today onwards, i'll try to transfer my thoughts and visions into words. I don't know how effective i can do it. Your comments are always welcome.
