making the journey home

Filed underfestivals

I am a technologist (Java, SOA, ESB, G11N and everything in between), I currently am a CTO, for the international division of a larger corporation, focused on educational media and technology.

The journey home represents for me the journey in our lives from where we are to where we need to be, who we are to whom we want to be, what we're doing to what we want to be doing. If we were doing everything exactly the way it was intended than life would have discovered its purpose. My journey is the rediscovery and fine-tuning of myself, and everything we connect with. It is, indeed, more fun than any destination.

It's also a collection of my thoughts, reviews of film, books, technology but the other stuff sounds more profound.

Karthikai Deepam - A Sister's prayers for her brother

(download)

Karthikai deepam.

Prasadam (offerings). Lamps lit with ghee. Tamil Hindu women pray for their brothers to commemorate the bond between them, as well as the brother's wellbeing, health and prosperity. Earliest references to this are found in the Ahananuru, from the sangam age - 200BC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karthikai_Deepam

A simpler time. Prayers for and by siblings. Brothers everywhere should be so lucky to have sisters like this.
