There were 85 comments as entries on DAUNTLESSSATHYA- there are some where I keyed in from Whatsapp and Facebook and these were 2-3 messages pooled in one - and featured here are the ones I treasure. Why compile? It makes you feel good on a rainy day!!!! The first nine featured here are from OBSERVESATHYA while the rest are from this blog DAUNTLESSSATHYA. There are over 700 comments from THINKSATHYA, OBSERVESATHYA, SPIRITUALSATHYA, and WRITERSATHYA and I will tabulate them more as morale boosting exercise.
May you find more things
each day to keep you whistling.....after all every thorn filed rose bush has
sweet smelling pretty flowers too. Cheers! - Shivaja
Life flows like a river. Even the mightiest dam( read Geisha or
Diva or whatever)can stop the flow for only so much time. The water will find
other channels and flow in some other direction. Forgiveness is like these
channels which help us find new directions and move on with life. on A new mind sans Geisha memories

I
visited his office 10 years after his death. They were still using my father's
letters as template (no wonder where I get my writing skill from). The bank
manager lamented how the business of the firm has gone down. Even NTR remarked
on hearing my father's death," Arunachalam garu was a good man".
Year end quote from our friend Kanchan Bhattacharya ( not necessarily a
personal observation on you but about geniuses in general) Life is sad- from
heights they fell so much, some into melancholy, some into penury, some just in
the clutches of the God of Cirrhosis, or even worse, into the demon, narcotics!
Creativity takes its toll... the genius has a fear of never being understood!

Yesterday,
the doctor's son was telling the steward serving coffee," Not in those
steel tumblers, we prefer paper cups". I said," These are very
special people. Oblige the doctor for he will give you free service if you are
ill". The doctor laughed his heart out on a possible free case

That's
lovely... Orthoptists rarely get any praise these days. The ophthalmologist is
usually the one viewed as doing all the hard work.
I just
stumbled upon this today, the 29th Jan 2011, after nearly two years of posting
by you. For some time I didn't recognise myself in this. Anyway, thanks for all
your ++ things said in this.
By the way, you do write very well. It has goven me an appetite to read your book. You promised me a copy but have forgotten about it. Otherwise, please remind me the title and where it is available?

Start again. Start with a calm and quiet mind. Start with an alert and attentive mind. Start with an equanimous and tranquil mind. (Then there would be instructions for the session). Goenka would end by saying: Work patiently and persistently. Work ardently and diligently. (this can be a mantra before starting any task. It is best mental preparation I find).
A remarkably
frank and well worded description of your life in Abu Dhabi. Take things in
your stride.
We miss you. Varadan has gone to Pondicherry for few days.
Mami and I send you our love and good wishes.

For once you
have found your happiness Satya. Happy for u. For sure it's going to last
several years. God bless.
Good to see
you back to writing. Be happy and stay blessed.
Amazing style
of reporting. Your self confidence level has increased and you are becoming
more and more sober and self erasing.
You will succeed in your endeavours. It will happen exactly when you need it.

Very nice
narrative and a very positive way of moving on to whatever adventures life
offers next. Look forward to the next episode from Chennai. Good luck and God
speed in whatever you do...
Quite a
turnaround from your earlier piece.The writing is reflective and poignant. But
dark and beautiful Melancholy is back. Whats' up Bro
I was shocked
at Robin Williams suicide too. Sometimes one just cannot understand the burdens
which bring people down. You need not worry, you have 25 years to complete what
you need to. Currently most people are productive till 70. :-)
As Robin would say in Dead Poet's Society "Carpe Diem"

Heart rending.
I wouldn't wish even my bitterrest enemy to experience this living hell.
There's always light at the end of the tunnel.I hope and pray you find peace
and happiness.As a literary work it's a masterpiece.
Touching -
Mother only as a biological one is not easy to imagine,. She not only give the
elements of your body but contribute in the making of he psyche. What you
describe makes one feel sad - It should not happen to anyone. But as long as
you carry the hurt, it is not her problem but just "YOURS" alone.
Throw this behind and walk out of the shadow.
You have
indeed passed through tough times Sathya. Now the light can be seen at the end
of the tunnel.
The heat zone
you have traversed could char many. Light at the end of the tunnel is seen by
you still as a train coming to mow you down is incorrect - you are getting out
of the dreary and dark phases two women tested your times. But movement like
Tolle puts it and knowing that you have the treasure of redemption within you. No age and no time is inapt as there is life to be lived to the
full - best wishes and love - Siddhans
My precious
brother,
I'm deeply moved into tears after reading your post. Believe in the Lord and he will change the MESS in your life to a MESSAGE. You have gone through what many in fairy tales don't. Hang on, brother. I will cheer you even if no one does. Suloch

Take care and
don't indulge in self-pity. Satya, you are a guy with class and brains - a rare
commodity nowadays. SD Prabhakar
Why do we hold
on to a relation that gives pain? We are scared of loneliness and so any
relation will serve even if it brings only sorrow to the heart. This post
argues against such self-destructive attitudes
Narayanan
Subramanian on Whatsapp: Sathya, if you have forgiven then you must forget too.
She belongs to your past; you have so much to look forward to in your life.
Better watch the road in front than have your sights on a rear view mirror.
Mani Sir on
Whatsapp (6th Aug): Yes you need to get up and pick up the pieces. Dismiss what
happened as a bad dream though it cost you a lac. Hope cyber crime chaps nab
this Uma Gayathri. You have my best wishes and prayers. Chennai probably did
not deserve you and let's hope that Gurgoan benefits.
Ashish Bansal Great
to note that you are signing up for soft skill company. Well written again
though feel sad after reading what you have gone through and are still facing.
Your strength is remarkable and your constant growth in all these adversities
is humbling
I'm from
Malaysia, planning to visit Kanchi mahaperiyar samadhi for blessings. Hope I
get his blessings too 🙏 Thank you for sharing this insight.

Do you mind if
I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your blog? My blog site is in the very same niche as yours and
my users would definitely benefit from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Thanks a lot!
I wish to
record these two compliments here. Anurag Gupta, my batchmate in another
context wrote: These are powerful words spoken by an excellent writer. Not many
can match you in your abilities. Another was Lalit Matai's "Sathya, there
are lots of people in our batch who care for you. Don't feel lonely."
Again in a different context but I want a place to store these and this is as
good as any.
Sathya,
You are on the right track and your greatest achievement in 2018 is to conquer yourself and build sufficient self confidence for achievening a lot in 2019
Lots of love,
T H Iyer

T H Iyer: Well done Sathya, you are a great compiler
Arunanjali: Great wrap up- let bygones be bygones and start 2019 with zeal and joy! Life is about cause and effect. Everyone makes their own causes and live those effects. We make our own choices and see its manifestation. Good cause makes for good effect. Happy healthy and victorious 2019.
Dhamma Mani Sir: Read your blog on 2018 memories and very much liked the 10 k fine you promise to pay up in case you badmouth the bad 4. I would prefer a caution deposit instead> Should I send my bank account details? :)
Neetu: I am quite perturbed. You talk of FORGIVENESS and not practice at all. Just let it go. I prefer to read your posts on Guruvayur and Madurai which are bereft of this bitterness.

Sir on Whatsapp: Hope this is your last post and this one resolution will
surely take you forward. You will move from self-pity to earning the respect
and attention and love from others that you yearn for. This is just the
negativity that is denying you these gains. Now that you are resolved to shed
your negativity, you will see a positive difference in your life. I pray 2019
will usher in happiness, peace and harmony. Concentrate on your writings
positively and money and honour will follow. Good luck
Glad to see a
positive beginning in 2019 in your new home and may the happiness and good
cheer continue.
Reading
through felt like listening to you talk. And this friend of yours..Ranga, he
has put the points aptly. Never thought of it that way. Yes if you had recorded
would have illuminated the world, but then you have conveyed the gist of it and
I liked it.
Ashish Bansal on
Whatsapp (30/6): So well written. Your personal progress, your happiness
quotient just keeps through. Your description of Chennai rains is fantastic -
so relatable, so human. And finally tieing the laces with PUMA acquisitions.
Feel very happy for you, my friend.
Shivaja: ...ur writing is effortless and
natural. We the readers feel part of your life as we read.
I would
suggest better try to travel somewhere until your mind says to stop. Then
experience the climate and culture. And then comeback to home.
Ashish Bansal:
Saying it again "very human" "very real" and it egged me to
read on. It was humbling to know that our call meant so much to you. You are a
wonderful person and "very human". Cheers to your lovely writing.
Carry on.
Dhamma Mani Sir: Vipassana will give the mind
the protective coating needed to prevent it from going to rust and ruin.
Ashish Bansal
on Whatsapp: Wonderfully written. Even through the roller-coaster of thoughts,
I sense your mindfulness which is great achievement. You are aware of what is
going inside and outside, despite the busyness that you have not experienced in
a long while. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
RV Rajan: Excellent post. All the best in your new home. God bless!

Sathya- I
learnt very early in life that love, affection & respect have to be
commanded & not demanded. I am delighted to learn about the initiative from
your mother & sister. Reciprocate it with all sincereity. You will be a
happy man. Remember the age old Tamil saying- Kutram parkil chutram illai. God
bless.
Dhamma Mani
Sir on Whatsapp (13/4): Glad to note that you have begun to love and repose
trust in yourself. Everything has a time and I reckon yours will come sooner
than later. Take fresh guard and be on the mark, get set and go....

style. Original always
