Inspiring - keep on going! I know that this is a long awaited dream realized for you since the time that we all listened with rapt attention to the famed "Hyderabad boys". I am proud of you, Shyam!
... Shyam..that is incredibly touching. Its absolutely amazing how just one day can bring so much hope and many smiles to so many people :) Doesn't it seem that with these children, there is little room for lavish/many desires? Especially with such pure and untainted hearts and having not seen a world outside of these few comforts. Interesting, perhaps these innocent, ever-smiling children are paving the avenue that we should ourselves follow :)
SEVA Shyam,
Many of the scriptures extol about seva. I look at it this way. When one does this kind of service/help somebody expecting nothing in return, there is a feeling/experience/(?)satisfaction -I guess there is no word to express it. But I am sure you know what I am referring to. That's is a wonderful feeling! The very realization of that feeling prompts a question - "Am I doing this to enjoy that feeling?" which means selfishness. If we analyze, whenever we help/do a seva, we don't think that if we do this, we will get that great feeling. Only if it is a spontaneous and natural act, we experience that feeling and not if it is premeditated. But selflessness is invariably rewarded! Is this where selfishness and selflessness merge and become meaningless?
I am very happy happy for you Shyam!
God Bless Shyamalee.. it was touching to see the blog and pictures. Mom, Dad, Babu and myself were looking at the pictures.. you all would have touched these children..this pleasant memory will live in those children's minds indelibly Shyam..You are right with your last statement, I think - 'Nethi' for everything and what remains is divine..Cherish that experience.. it does not come by to everyone so easily..

This is way cool... Aww...I love the pics of the kids. They are absolutely adorable. I really got a crack out of the end pictures where it looked liked the kids where ready to jump into the camera :) Keep up the awesome work. I'm really proud of you.
IM ON SPRING BREAK EVEN THOUGH IT"S ALMOST OVER! Ok yeah sorry that comment title had nothing to do with anything! Those pictures were really cool (the seva pics)! You wake up waaaayyyyy to early for my liking! Trust me in my world that is NOT allowed or normal! Anyhoo my favorite part would have to be the 5:15 AM morning wake up call (even though it is too early! Yeah well bye!
woww. Sounds absolutely phenomenal. Gave me a chance to realize how lucky i am [looking at the pictures]. thanks for sharing such a wonderful experience with all of us and [me].
Hi Hey Shyam,
Careful! Unlike US, most Indian dogs bite! And many of them aren't vaccinated! keep up your points. You can't afford to give even 1 pt to woofy! Hey, how are you tackling with the snoring of sandeep? If it is really a good method, you can make a fortune man! Also, you might want to have an over night recording to see if someone else other than sandeep is snoring!:))
Nice to hear about your Guruji!
Enjoy!
Want more! Hey Shyam,
Can you please make these newsletters an everyday thing? Nothing like waking up to some "tight spandex" story! Oh by the way, you could get some more stories if you try some of the old city's gyms.
I am amazed that you have planned it so well to use your time to practise more of Harmonium. Cool plan.
Ah...the good ol' Motherland!!! I hope you do realize that "Hydrabadian Hero" is an oxymoron ;oP But, I'm sure you're making a great attempt. Life sounds very exciting in India!!! I sure do miss the old country. Thanks for the fun blogs...it keeps us all connected to the ways of our fellow brown people. I'll try to use this new "fandangle" skype thing that you keep telling me. Man, what will they come up with next. Anyhoo...stay sweet and cool. Peace out!!! By the way, what kind of a dog IS "fluffy"?? (@_@)
................................................................. Amazing! Woofy is like a dog at my neighbor's house opposite to mine. Waiting for May issue!
A Suggestion I would suggest trying the scare tactic with Woofy. You know, instead of the pansy-like biscuit-throwing, look him straight in the eye, and let him know that you are ready to take him on. OR, if that doesn't work, try the vacuum cleaner.
COOLIO hmmm sounds like a lot of fun =] WOOFY hahahahah. by far my fav. part. besides for the tight spandex lady. haha. hahaha. hahahahaha. Hydrabady Hero? ;] mhmm.
What way to live!!! It is terrific. keep the hero going well with his stated goals. What a way to cheat Woofy? The entertainment value is very good. By the way there is no heroine of the Hydra Baaddi.
Hi!! Good luck w/ Woofy!!
By the way, this is pretty cool...
Is this your own website, or did u become a member of some other site?
OK BYE
P.S. Hows that XBOX 360?
Can't wait for more! Hey Shyam, thanks for making this blog for those of us who want to stay in touch and can't figure out when to reach you. This explains why- you are one busy Hyderbadian fellow!
