Kuppuswamy in Crapbook : Just Born Kuppu

Disclaimer:

The names and incidents mentioned throughout this series if matches with someone's name, website, idea or experience is purely coincidental and unintentional.

Prologue:

Kuppuswamy was born to Kuppuswamy's mother and Kuppuswamy's father. He is just a month old kid. Being in boredom he got in to Crapbook - a leading innovative solution to waste time 24x7. This series will show some of the craps happening on his floor. Another important character in this series is Ramaswamy. He is also a new born kid and a dear friend of our Kuppuswamy.

Just Born Kuppu:










Inference:

Companies always like their own production, irrespective of how crappy their product is. I remember of a Tamil proverb apt for this situation, which says "Crows think that their kid is the most fair looking one in the world".

Ramaswamy is indeed a childhood friend of Kuppu!

Stay tuned for updates on Kuppu :)

Wat de heaven happnd in me?

After reading couple of New Year posts, I just started looking back at 2010. The best year I have ever had till now. Indeed, really a prime time for me. Lot of things happened outside me, but something much more profound happened and still happening within me that has totally transformed me,  inducing a question in many of my friends' mind and even made few of them go crazy, namely "What the hell is happening to me?" Hence thought of answering it in this post before my friends would mistake it as an impact of my college or IIT or the US education. Many of new friends wouldn’t be able to appreciate this question without me showing a comparative study.

Until few months back I used to be very quiet student, with the only goal of eating well and of course to earn enough money in order to sustain my appetite. Definitely I wasn’t nerdy, as I had full scale student life except that the range of my scale was too small :P I can stay in any abandoned forest provided if I just have food and internet; sorry the order should be the other way around first internet and then food. To put it much simpler I was just a nut , as Sadhguru says: " If you do not get out of your shell, you are just a nut"

During last April, something happened which really over shadows everything else, namely: Me attending an online engineering program. It’s not of the sort we engineers generally know of. Instead something much profound called as Inner Engineering. It was just a seven online session program. You may wonder how can a seven online sessions have profound impact in anyone’s life? It may sound as absolute nonsense. But experiencing Sadhguru many a times before, I decided to go ahead and attend the program. On completing the classes many a changes happened in me without even me being aware of it. But most of my closed friends started noticing it. I become much happier, started playing, elegantly tackled problems, got in to photography and travel. Then I decided to get initiated in to the practices and it happened in the last week of August. From that day onwards, it has been an immense pleasure for me to live every moment of this life. I always feel happy and many of my friends on seeing it started asking, why are you happy? Is your advisor not in town and so on? I just tell them the fact that, I don’t find any reason to be sad. Just to give you an idea of how I feel, I can say that I am experiencing an uphill drive @ 200 mph. Very few of you would have experienced it, that too only in a downhill. After flunking GRE for the first time and barely crossing the borders in the second attempt, it would have been highly intimidating for me to blog, without Inner Engineering. If I was asked to start a blog year back, it’s not that I would have peed in my pants ;), but would have definitely resisted it lacking the clarity to handle life. Now I am feeling so ecstatic with life, that even poems started happening automatically.


The picture on the left was taken during my last week at IIT (trust me I have used one of my best available old pic, to avoid Halloween effect) and the one on the right was taken a month back. It’s not just the external outlook that has changed, but most importantly, the very core, the engine technology itself has been transformed.

So what is this Inner Engineering?

“This is not about becoming super human. This is about realizing being human is super” – Sadhguru

Isha's flagship program, Inner Engineering, distills powerful, ancient yogic methods for the modern person to create harmony in the body, mind and emotions. It introduces Shambhavi Maha Mudra - a simple but powerful kriya (inner energy process) for deep inner transformation. This practice which I have been doing for the past 3 months takes around 21 minutes everyday.

All I wish to say is just that:

I bow down to all those who made it happen, who are making it happen and who are going to make it happen! Pranams

Definitely I cannot end this post, without a poem:

Inner Engineering!

Many a good schools have I attended
Under many a good professors have I studied

Everyone taught me the subjects' fundamental
Shaping me as a bright intellectual

It did helped me a lot towards my survival

But fell apart when it came to my revival

Seeking the infinite in installments

I could not capitalize on any of my investments

Until he came from no where

Setting my mundane logic to fire

Instilled the ultimate knowledge

Even without my knowledge

As I very slowly grasp it

My life has started sprouting from it

He calls it Inner Engineering

But I feel it's the only engineering that's worth knowing!

I wish you and your family a very happy and a prosperous New Year!!!
