Thanks for dropping in.<BR/><BR/>@Deepak: // Mad is something which people call someone, if their behavior is out of the realms of their narrow-minded understanding of life. Anyone who doesn't follow the unwritten social laws are termed mad. // Well Said, Deepak..! Like you say they might well be on a different plane of consciousness. The way the world percieves madness and how they percieve the world, is something which makes it very interesting to analyze. Deepak, you must be knowing about how so-called-lunatics used to hammer nails into a tree in Chottanikara temple in Ernakulam. It is in the backdrop of it, that I wrote my earlier poem "Ritual of Madness"srijithunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04897386632437180172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12416295.post-2794989096830555942008-07-16T08:02:00.000+05:302008-07-16T08:02:00.000+05:30Mad is something which people call someone, if the...Mad is something which people call someone, if their behavior is out of the realms of their narrow-minded understanding of life.

Mine too.<BR/><BR/>@Prash: To answer your questions, No it's not a true story, something I imagined and cooked up, but definitely not cut off from reality. Not an excerpt from any book, if so I mention the source always. :) and lastly I have no idea where Gowripuram is. Perhaps there is such a place, but i'm not aware of any, again just a name I invented. 100% Fiction, prash.<BR/><BR/>Glad to know that you had a great time in Bangkok.<BR/><BR/>This is just a story idea that formed in my mind, when I saw this middle aged woman, sleeping outside a closed shop, with a dog resting against her legs. I don't know, somehow that instance of time, something in my mind sort of clicked.srijithunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04897386632437180172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12416295.post-13024400098951057772008-07-04T12:36:00.000+05:302008-07-04T12:36:00.000+05:30is this a true story you are narrating ? or some e...is this a true story you are narrating ? or some excerpts of a book ? where is Gowripuram ? <BR/><BR/>PS: I didn't do any massages in Bangkok...so busy in visiting the places, eating thai food and dancing in the night with thai friends ! maybe should try one next time !Prashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035011813347477952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12416295.post-20276418125623191952008-07-03T23:19:00.000+05:302008-07-03T23:19:00.000+05:30This reminds me of the beggar girl I saw along the...This reminds me of the beggar girl I saw along the river banks in Guwahati.
