SAT April 03 2010
11:00am set out for NJ
11:20 see a TD bank so stop by to check and end up opening an account. Applied for
Credit card too.
Drive to Costco and get a cooking set for Narayan and his wife.
1:00pm started off for the Venkateshwara Temple in Bridgewater. Was a turning out to be pleasant drive. Then suddenly I realised that the landscape and traffic was feeling more like the downtown of a city and a Rough Neighborhood . Saw SEPTA station (commuter train in Philadelphia). And I was supposed to reach the temple in one hour and it was 1:30 hrs of driving already.
Panic stuck I turned around called up Narayan and he confirmed that the road I ended up on 611 south was taking me to Philly downtown. Atlast get back to the route and reached the temple around 4:30.
Enter the temple and was suddenly stuck with some kind of empowering feeling as soon as I saw the vigraha of Venkateshwara. Ended up been there and mediating for about an hour. Then go down and have a Vada and veggie Birayani.
6pm head towards Narayans house and meet Satish, his wife and daughter there from Kasargod. Then latter Roshan (mumbai-malu) and his wife from calicut turn up at the door and we end up talking for a few hours.
Its surprising that I meet two Northern Malus in the same evening.
North Kerala is calling out to me in subtle ways. :)
Also not to forget the mail from Sara. It was very sweet of her to think about me on her trip to Italy and looking across the border from her dads house into Solvenia. Gave her my address as asked lets see if she will send the post card as promised. ;)
Right now, any bit of kindness and thoughtfulness towards me seems to make me think of the person as exceptional. After been the one who was going out of his way and not been appreciated for my efforts. It really feels very touching even when people consider me for little things and try to include me and try to make me part of their life.
Well one has to feel the bottom to be able to appreciate any upward drift.
