A funny incident prompted me to publish this post.
Last month, on 19th of may, being my birth day,I received greeting mails as usual, from my family members, friends circles, professional acquaintances, as well my visitors of this, and other blogs.
Well...as usual, the mails contained compliments & niceties, however one mail from my reader from Italy, was very interesting.
After the usual formalities, he posed a question, stating
,' In your past addresses to your readers, you have mentioned that all your stories and compositions invariably contain something on The Philosophy Of Living Excellence.
Well...in some of the stories I found something penned on this subject. However, in many other stories, I did not notice anywhere any writings on The Philosophy Of Living Excellence as such...probably I missed it out.
I would just like to know, how and where to catch up with the thread about it, in such stories of yours? Can you throw some light on it? '
Well, before answering this querry, I would like to indicate to my readers about some history of this blog.
As a young boy, I was an ardent story lover... as I grew up to maturity, I gradually turned into an ardent reader too...especially a story reader, and when I attained ripe age, I gradually turned into a story teller... ...that's how this blog came into existence, in the first place.
Because Marathi Language - A direct first level descendent of Sanskrit, and the official language of Maharashtra State in India - is my mother tongue, I found that I could express myself in the most effective manner, in Marathi, and started with this blog in November 2011.
I presumed that readers from my native state only, may show interest in visiting this blog, and continued to post my real life experiences [ each one of these stories is a real life incident ] for them.
Today, it gives me great pleasure and contentment to see the visitors count nearing 7000, and my readers spread over 28 countries across the globe.
So, my dear readers, rest assured that the pen will continue to scribble such experiences in the days to come too, to the best of my ability, post this age of 65 Yrs.
And now, to the dear reader from Italy, before putting my pen down today.
," Dear friend, I believe that every bit of incident and experience in the real world around us is pregnant with some hint or the other, about The Philosophy Of Living Excellence... ...
The trick to scoop it up and extract it is quite simple, as was taught to me by my Guru in my teen age...
He had told me that time, ' Read any draft BY THE LINES, and you will end up with a story, and if you read it BETWEEN THE LINES, you are bound to end up with the Philosophy at the heart of it. '
Even after fifty years of reading stories consistently, I don't find anything more to add, to this great truth... ... ..."
I wish you all dear readers, a satisfying reading on this blog, in the years to come.
