In the morn of the day when the old blog's life was in its last moments
I was sitting in a relaxed mood fairly happy with my friends and comments
What shook me was a note written “share eight passions” Tagging me to a post
I shivered as my astrologer’s mind saw through the meaning of the note
I shudder at Saturn*, and the problem of sade sati* and the resulting woe
When request came for writing about passion with figure of eight
From Vijay, Elegance, Raja, Maya anil, Good critic, Yasaswi and Retro
It has reached seven: before it reaches eight, no of Saturn; let me not take it light.
I sing, dance, write, love, fight, flirt, fume, consult, and teach with passion
I become, naive, and sometimes stupid and sentimental like Mullah,s heehaw
Bridge, Scrabbles, Games with Nav**, paint are executed in passionate fashion
Golf, Rummy, Swimming, Slimming, Driving, Cribbing are all definite naw naw
Neither will this passion perish nor will I die as part me still lives with other
I will have no expectations from anyone nor will leave anybody with expectation
All my debts monetary and otherwise cleared and hence nobody in future will bother
To my grave or the pyre I shall therefore wilfully carry my inimitable passion
With tear filled eyes I say I love India.I love our heritage; I am bullish on India,
I am proud of Beena, and kids; it is ok, it does matter, let us just love
Mobilise your passion for the country, family, business and of course sulekha
Passion in living was important was all that the books that I read would prove
Passion of county in freedom at midnight: Passion with mistress*** not spouse
Passion of humour in walking through Malgudi, passion of people in a common man
Passion of prayer with Don Camillo passion of excellence with the Wodehouse
Passion of family with the Godfather and the passion of spirit with the alchemist.
And does not the passion gets fuelled when love of a Kannamma and Meera are sung?
Don’t songs of Mere wathan ke logo & vandematarm cater to patriotic spirit released?
Through a spiral, spinning wheel & windmills of the mind comes alive, Passion for living
You feel like humming pattu padava as Philosophy of passion in Karnan gets revealed
It is the love of passion that made great friends for me be in sulekha or outside.
I am straight and naive. I love people irrespective of gender as i have nothing to hide
I am religious, spirited, articulate and alive; also attractive, understanding and alluring
I am hard working, persistent, quality conscious and perceptive and very endearing
Passion has made me love. Passion made me care; passion made me live& fight
Passion has made me human .let me end now Saturn before arrival of note eight
Not knowing the effect of eight and the position of the planet in your birth chart
Let no one go through the torture I have undergone so no names in the tag cart
PS
Lo behold the power of Saturn you, amsa of Shiva and giver of fright
The eighth note form promilla has arrived ,with destiny I can never fight........
Sarah thanks for ur tag u brought me to nine my fav no and from darkness to light..
Kasang tagged made tally ten , ten is complete and I move on to a greater insight
My teamof eleven is full; rrmadhri's tag makes me a teampalyer and will add foresight
PPS...
I made it meaningful for me by embedding answers in the form of a poem.
If you do not understand please ask me when you make the comments and I shall explain....
*Saturn is associated in numerology and astrology with no 8... In my earlier blog I had made reference to Sade sathi. During this period Saturn brings mental trauma to the person
**Nav is my grandson with whom I play computer games in the miniclip site
*** Mistress is the name of the Book written by Anita Nair.

That was some double entendre on the word *mistress*!!But why can't the passionate one be the spouse?

Three cheers to the passion8 man !!! Indeed passion is the essense of life.Passion in prayer,excellence,family and spirit that's what shines out the poem in all it's splendour.
Wonderful thoughts on passion.
