Brain drain

Brain drain​

​

I was just opening the Internet and was checking the mail. My DH was reading the newspaper sitting in a chair nearby.:coffee

He said,” It seems nowadays you are not posting anything in your favourite site. What happened? “

I said,” Brain drain.”

“Hey! What brain drain has got to do with it? Brain drain has not new to our country. It is going on since a long time. Those IITians and MBAs were always grabbed by the top foreign companies. But now why should you think and worry about it?”

I retorted,”I am talking about my brain. I can’t find any good topic to write even after raking my brain for so many days.”:bonk

“Ha ha ha” he had a good hearty laugh. :biglaugh

He might have been thinking why this lady should worry about brain drain. All along she was only grinding the same flour which was ground (araithamavaiye araikkirathu). She was only rewriting the biographies of alzwar-acharyas and saints of the yester years.

He said aloud,”Have you done with vaishnava azwars and acharyas? If you like I’ll give you one suggestion.”:idea

“Go on. I am all ears” said I.:hiya

“Now why can’t you start writing about the Saivites 63 Nayanmars? You can drag it on for at least 6 months.”:spin

“You and your suggestion! Already people are fed up with my Religion and Spirituality write ups. :hide:Lots of new youngsters had joined IL and they all have a good control over language and they got lots of pep in their write ups. Having become old I think my brain cells are having a slow death. First I have to revive them. Then I will think about writing.
I’ll let them take a brake and relax for some time from the boredom of my writeups.”

 

Dear Sriniketan,
Just below my write up the Ad glares at me saying, " Reclaim your brain." First I have to do that to sharpen my brain and memory.
Thanks for posting the first comment which is quite inspiring. I still could not forget that you were the one who was instrumental to write Acharya Sri Ramanuja's story.

Being a forum moderator you have extra responsibility besides writing your Kural blog and also your snippets which are quite interesting, I wonder how you manage all these with school going children and also looking after your elderly mil. You are really great.
Thanks once again,
Love,

Dear Vysan,
From the beginning when I started writing in IL Shanthi and you were giving me lot of support and encouragement.
Though I was not getting many fbs the number of views were quite encouraging.
I derived satisfaction by writing about those great souls and it gave me a great opportunity to study in detail about them. I should say that I was the most benefited.
Thanks a lot for your sweet appreciation and continuous support.
With love,
PS

 

Dear Radhika,
Thank you very much for your appreciating comments.

Dont bother about young writers, here in IL, we have lot of space, nobody is competing with anyone, we can enjoy everyones writing.

You are right. There is no competition and everyone can write as much a they like and all subjects under the sky and even above the sky. (It is our belief that heaven where the Creator resides is above the sky.)
Thanks for your support and encouragement,
Love,

Dear Sindhuja,
Glad to hear that you had enjoyed reading my posts. You were always writing encouraging and motivating fbs. Due to lack of time it is not possible to write fb every time as we have lot of contents to go through in IL.
Hence I do not mind it. Thanks for your continuous support,
Love,
