The beginning
Speak when your spoken unto and what you have spoke, stand by it.... but then this spooks me out! I talk so much that words flow out before i get a chance to think. For me its all about the flow, the fluidity of talk. Dont we all love to hear a well enunciated talk? I remember my very first idols were those who spoke fluently. Prannoy Roy and Neethi Ravindran on tv and Mrs.Rathnam and Mrs.Figredo in school. I used to follow their every sentence, noticing how they talk, the way they pronounce, the way certain words were clumped together and the way the voice flows. Vikaasa school, Madurai was the perfect place for a kid like me. Not only did it provide a niche for me but also the perfect breeding ground for a person who can say he was well-bred! (and well fed too). Then comes along the Greatly Revered Diwakar who instills in me a love for science, a love for studying. I realized that science was what life is all about. Science held the threads of life together.
As time goes by i realize that every word spoken by teh people around me has become imbibed and expresses itself at the appropriate moment and that I am actually actively contributing towards teh growth of science.
Who would ever believe that the little kid running around in green shorts and picking up dirty cricket balls from the s.s.colony gutters will be sitting amongst India's top scientists a few meters away from the seat of parliament. If i were to step out now i'll step right onto the shadow thrown by the dome of Rashtrapathi Bhavan.
It has been a long journey... i still havent reached the destination but then the journey itself has been amazing!
lets see wher it leads... into His hands i leave my life..
