BUILD US A SON

Some one has commented in my blog as to whether my entire time is spent in the office only in writing blog posts.I wish i do have that luxury.

But to remove any misgivings(as it would have other counter effects if any one from my office happen to be a follower of the blog-thogh i doubt it very much-as no body follows ny directions even at office-hahaha!!) let me clarify this aspect. I spend normally about 10 minutes in penning my blog. And the time is either lunch recess (between 1.30 pm to 2 pm) or late evening hours from the comforts of home. OK..

Now coming to the subject of todays post, two things happened, first is that i received an invitation for an Upanayanam and when i went thru it for the venue of the event , it is described as "Home. sweet Home" a title under which i have posted under this blog, hardly 24 hrs earlier. Ya, not only great minds but also great friendship thinks alike and also uses phraces alike".

The subject matter is not about this similarity . It is about the way in which the invitation is drafted. In recent past i have been comimg across a number of invitations , each one of which have got a point or two to score over the rest.BUT THIS ONE IS A CLASS APART (LIKE MY SON'S WRITINGS-I MEAN IT). Let me reproduce IT.

Remember it is an invitation for an upanayanam-NAYANAM MEANS EYES-UPA NAYANAM MEANS ADDITIONAL OR HELPING EYES-

"BUILD US A SON , ALMIGHTY, WHO WILL BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN HE IS WEAK,
AND BRAVE ENOUGH TO FACE HIMSELF WHEN HE IS AFRAID,
AND WHO WILL BE PROUD AND UNBENDING IN
HONEST DEFEAT, AND HUMBLE & GENTLE IN VICTORY"

I owe this post to the person who drafted those splendid lines and to the parents of the young boy.THAT HAPPENS TO BE THE PRAYER OF EVERY FATHER AND MOTHER , for their sons, irrespective of caste, creed and religion.

My day had its fulfillment....
