Man of the hour
plus thirty minutes
Rapido ride that it took to get
from Sholinganallur to home;
Thirugnanasambanthan Dakshinamurthy.
These are his words, paraphrased;

• "Nature is always going to provide you an experience. That experience will allow you to experience another experience, and so on."

• "Mind is zero. The moment we are born and right before we die, the mind has nothing. Only in between do we get the experience of life."

• "We forget thoughts soon after getting them. Why?Because the intensity of the thoughts are the highest at the moments we acquire or receive them."

• "I have done every kind of work. Never said no to anything. That is also my weakness."

The immense life experience of this 56 year old filmmaker who's making his ends meet has taught me at least one thing; always be open to new experiences.
