How can one describe a chance upgrade from economy class to business class on a trip that came up by chance and end up in a seat right next to Ganagandharvan Dr. K J Yesudas ? One has to attempt nevertheless for the possibility of reading and re-reading to re-live the three hours of ecstasy. If I were Marquez, I could have used the sunlight streaming in through the windows of the plane and may be even the buzz of the jet engines to describe the experience but of course, greatness is never to be attempted, to be imitated. White shirt, white pants and white leather shoes to match, the legend floats, wafts, glides, does not walk. There is a rhythm in his speak, he is uttering normal malayalam words to his wife Prabha (ma´am, the maestro´s wife)  but at the sight of him I have already developed a rather tenacious earworm that is doing Pramadhavanam, Samajavaragamana, Harivarasanam, Azhake Nin and Neelaravil in random, complicated order. His wife set...

One rainy morning  on the river Solimões, floating and flowing as part of a huge raft of thousands of fire ants , one particularly smart one raises its head looks downstream and then upstream and wonders - how long is this river ? , how far are we from land ?, how much water is below us ? and where is this rain falling from ?  Know that your state of mind is priveleged if you at least occasionally pose questions of the world you inhabit.
