What Am I Doing These Days ?

Well I am watching 3 serials - RAMAYAN , MAHABHARAT , SHRI KRISHNA and writing , reading and discussing about them .

So why am I not posting in my blog ?

Really , I don’t have an answer .
I think , I was trying to post something from the world around me , but now a days I am too much involved in the world of RAM-KAURAV-PANDAV-KRISHNA --- so could not figure out a single topic to post here in last 14 days . indeed a great mistake on my part .

Ok, if not mistake , then we may call it indecisiveness on my part .

I am a great believer of the proverb — Better Late Than Never .
(i.e.— correct it as soon as you find out your fault – surprised ? it is my interpretation …! )

Following that , today I decided to post about the current state of my mind so that no communicate gap remains between me and you ( the readers of my blog ) .

I want to start with the recent KANS VADH episode of SRI KRISHNA serial –
For many days we were witnessing the terror of KANSA , but when KRISHNA killed him , in fact I also felt relaxed as an audience .

ARISTOTLE has said about tragedy that after a tragedy the feelings we undergo can be expressed as –CATHARSIS ( emotional cleansing , audience gets emotionally healed/ cleansed by experiencing the emotions which the principal characters go through .) .

MILTON says at the end of SAMSON AGONISTES –“calm of mind ,all passion spent “(after experiencing the turmoil of feeling , they have achieved tranquility of mind ) .

Truly , this state was achieved in MATHURA RAAJSABHA . In fact the same can be experienced after the battles of RAMAYAN and MAHABHARAT .

Though I can’t remember RAMAYAN very well , but I have seen the last episode of MAHABHARAT recently . Same was the experience in that case also – after all the drama , intrigue , war – when the peace is established in a state there is nothing greater than that .

The epics are a treasure of the lessons handed down to us by our ancestors . It is upto us how much we can learn and use them in our daily life . So I prefer to watch there serials rather than watching mindless daily soaps , most of which have neither any specific aim (conclusive ending ) nor lessons to teach us .

So this is my overall view on serials . I can still write a lot about it (why I love RAMAYAN , MAHABHARAT , SHRI KRISHNA ) , but that I am reserving to post in any future occasion .

With best wishes ,

Dpriya
