Name search

The search for the name for the newcomer in the family was not an easy task.
Firstly I tried google, which gives links to websites with many Indian names. Which to me were quite heard of types.
Or they were too much unheard of.
Due to sheer enthusiasm for a perfect name I downloaded
Mudgala Kosha which is kind of encyclopedia of sanskrit words / meanings with online search urls.

Finally after a lot of proposals and discarding Ashwini and I could agree on Atharv. For this name we didn't need the dictionary at all. Its a known name.

Anyways to preserve my time spent here is the list of names that made to the shortlist:
अथर्व 
अमेय 
वरद
अमोघ -  A name of Lord गणेश
परम - the supreme
कराट m. N. of गणेश MaitrS. [#45905] [Img:255,2]

The year Ender trip to Varanasi in many ways was delightful, blissful. The city is vast and has many gems to admire. Not just in physical sense in also inner experience plane. Revered place as it is immensely liberating. A dip in the Ganges  Remembering the time immemorial greats and civilizations that have lived, bathed and blossomed on its blessings and continue to do so. A devotee's longing of lifetime to immerse into vibrations, energy, power, realisation, oneness at baba Vishwanath's dham. The ghats and the Ganga aarati of mesmerizing evevenings The long walks along ghats The renewed vigour of ressurgence at the corridor The Sarnath of historical importance The recently opened new milestone of Kashi the Swarved Mandir The towering landmark at BHU the birla Vishwanath mandir The charm of kunds in interior lanes  Not to forget the old own charm of narrow la

Friendship

This is one of the most joyous kind of relationship. There had been many quotations about friendship. The one that I remember most vividly is about between whom there can be friendship, it goes like this "friendship can exist between persons of same age-group and comparable in power." Personally for me greatest learning has been throgh friends and buddies. May it be knowing about ways of the world or having the fire to getting to the destined. I think that friends are the ones to whom you can relate to most after yourself. Arjun has been described as a friend of Krishna, in Mahabharata. There have been instances of friendships demonstrated and a lot has always been said about it since ages. All along we keep hearng, books are our best firends. One can keep dumping thoughts on a friend without any intention. May it be a trouble or a celebration you got to have friends to get through it or to enjoy it, respectively. It is quite rightly said that a person can be best analyzed t

Thought train

The music is playing from my earphones and i have got one hour of a battery in laptop. This bearably hot evening i am on my train back to Bangalore from Udgir, my native. Humpi Link express, the train, is passing through some part of Andra Pradesh and its 4:47pm. In many Hindu rituals the priests pronounce the historic name of the area where the ritual is performed. I grew up listening to my being called as "Dandak Aranya". As it used to be called since Aryan time. Integral part of the Aryawarta - what we call Indian subcontinent. The Aryawarta as such is an island in every non-geographical sense, being surrounded by the Himalayan sea in the north and by the Indian Ocean, Arebean Sea and Bay of Bengal on the entire south. The stories from puranas tell the ancient stories related to the area - Dandak Aranya. It used to be a forest inhabiting extremely dangerous animals. This area was considered cursed, may be due to its inhospitality. On this day you rarely find a forest here.
