Ayudha Ezhuthu Coming True!

Well, this is what Mani Ratnam has achieved. I am rather sure that he was not directly involved or influence the decisions of these IIT guys who have formed a political party called Paritrana. There is a wonderful article about this in Youth Curry. Check it out. In particular they talk about identifying the inner voice. How amazing and what a coincidence! This is what people call Synchronicity (I hope I got the spelling right). It takes so much courage to follow your inner voice 'cause the society may not fully understand it when you deviate from the norms set by them to lead your life! Everyone knows how exactly the other person should lead their lives, but seldom take a moment to stop and think and listen to their own inner voice. Youth Curry has beautifully articulated this - it is what I have been thinking also:

"Deadly thing, this inner voice. That's why most folks pretend they can't hear it. Or choose to drown it out. Because listening to it may mean acting in ways which are strange and unacceptable in society."

Looks like this guy - Sidin has finally decided to give up consulting for writing. That must have taken some courage. I didn't know that this is the guy who wrote that wonderful and hilarious article on "Travails of Single South Indian Men". People are doing this all over the world, it seems like and I don't want to be late in listening to my inner voice :) There is another great website that I found for all these - Metavoice.

Time to do something about it, eh?
