Amma, Avakai, Ammai, Amerika!!!

Hi everyone in dreamland...

I said dreamland coz a very respectable 'Guru' once said that one's homeland is his dreamland... And for those of you not in your homeland (like poor old me) I believe we always live in a dreamland....

There are many things in your life which influence it on a daily basis. But there are only a few things which influence it well enough to change it forever.

AMMA - Mother - The supremely divine creation of god so as to prevent his loss to every living creature, Man, animal, monkeys and all those stuck in between them.

I think it would be really stupid of anyone not to know the value of mothers (Even those who are unfortunate enough to have them with them know their value even more). I think it is the first major influence on your life even before you know the meaning of influence, let alone its spelling.

If you are really fortunate enough to hear and understand and follow everything your mother says (not that I ever did it) you would be doing something else with your life than you ever imagine you would. I know that everyone comes to know this only after there is absolutely no chance of reversing what you have ever done, or not done should I say.

AVAKAI - Pickle - A traditional south Indian spicy preserve ideally made with mangoes and which gives a distinct feeling of an erupting volcano in your mouth should you be eager enough to gulp it down greedily.

I know it is really stupid of me to mention avakai as an influencing factor in one's life. But as every andhrawala will vouch for you will definately never forget its taste even if you are daily entitled to a kings meal. And mostly you will always want the one thing you have the least chance of getting. So living in this crazy country where they say it is hot with the faint trace of sunlight and where they scream at the touch of a chilli flake to their tongue, I dont think I am crazy to be craving for avakai. Besides think of me as a glutton among thousands of others.

AMMAI - Girl - A species of utmost miraculous capabilities which immediately reverse the evolution process of the opposite gender and instantly transform him to primitive Mokeys.

I think most of the great people reading this blog have only come reading this far hoping to find some intresting topic at this point or have suudenly jolted back from their trance which may have been caused due to my philosophical sh*t which only reinforces my belief as to why I think this is an influencing factor in your... sorry our life.

Imagine living in an area without any girls...I mean only young and beautiful girls.... first it sounds like... oh my god its terrible!!, then it starts to feel like... wow! is it really possible... hmm... paradise at last!!!... then suddenly you scream... Pleeease! somebody wake me from this nightmare....!!!

I Don't think it is not possible to imagine its existance... I think I consider me and my friends lucky in some aspects as we were educated in a school where girls were there.... and not there.... they were the invisible creatures.. and trying to spot them was considered as a crime of a level only next to trying to overthrow the governement...... That made most of us forget about the existence of any trace of beauty in the opposite sex and get lost in our Idle world.... Well, almost for everyone... There were some of the brave rebels in existance in our clan who considered it their birthright to have a freedom of speech and acquaintance with them mystery creatures. Not even the most cunning commanders could deter them from their goal...

But lets not turn our discussion to those... um.... unfortunates. I am sure they would now agree to the disadvantages of bringing girls and heart together.

AMERIKA - The world collectively given by me to any international destination away from India and not to insult the USA or to exert its dominance over the rest of the poor countries. Almost everyone reading this will agree with me that this definitely is an influencing factor in their life, even if they were never interested about it in the first place. The reason I said this was because all of you reading this are educated and all educated young people are either interested to go abroad or forced to go there by their family of would be family ( who else.... AMMAI ).

But Is it only me who always feels that even If I have everything I wanted to live for including money to be here I always miss my country. People might ask whats there in India to miss it for. It looks beautiful but it is rotten inside. But are we so different, we struggle to look beautiful outside but.... u know the rest.....

        Well then enough of the influencing factors.... you might wanna ask "OK we all know the factors.. but why are you telling this to us... its supposed to be a blog about your life".

Come to think of it, why am I in this situation where I am writing this stuff when I used to have so much interest in writing as getting my teeth drilled by a dentist. Yup I will tell you.

My life was not so special but it was special to me. I had some great friends and lazy life. It was cool and any  person to complain about it was a fool ( wah wah... see, I told you I was a poet and now you can see it ). The only influencing factor I had then was AVAKAI... No amma, No ammai and definately not Amerika.

Then came a cool, lovely and beautiful day when I joined my college full of dreams embedded into me by some very colorful movies showing some extremely wrong angles of it which were later expelled from my empty head with the help of a hard bottle which was not so empty flung from the hands of many angry species which were full of nonsense and which had absolutely no sense who used to call themselves lecturers when the only lecture they ever used to give was as fascinating as watching the art of pig culture in doordarshan.

So why am I telling about college... coz here was the next influencing factor which came gift wrapped in a beautiful blue dress... AMMAI. No Avakai ( people in love are not hungry...), No Amma, and not yet Amerika.

Life was still cool.... in fact my brain was frozen with love at sub-zero temperatures in one of the hottest cities of the south where people who went out like cheerful pigeons came back as tandoori chickens. Then started the quest for success.... the ultimate goal of winning the girls heart... which led to another goal of graduating successfully... which led to the goal of going abroad.... which led to the goal of attaining a job there... which led to the goal of convincing the girls parents..... which will ultimately lead to marriage with same girl who by then will say.... "Do you know how much I did for you".

If I would have tried my luck in football I think I might have set up my first international league in India.

What happened next is a no-brainer.... AMERIKA.... the next and the last influencing factor. Now I am here and the AMMAI for whom I tried to make this possible says "You changed a lot, you are not like the person I first met" which makes me to think,

Amma ledhu, Avakai ledhu... ika Ammai kuda lekapothe nenu Amerika vachhi em laabham....

( Aasa poina, prasa migilindhi )....

Adios people......
