Surya, may we ask “why”?

I too would like to ask why, but won’t. I am sure you have thought through it, and if the reason was something you could share with the rest of us through this post, I am sure you would have.

But I can certainly ask you this: can you reconsider? Please …

Abi: Thanks for not asking why and Paappan, I am gonna leave it at that =)

But its been a tough decision. I have thought hard abt it and wouldn’t have decided so unless I had to.
But I will see you at your blog =)

I was almost sure about what you were going to say; but still I had to ask.

I wish you all the best, Surya. I will miss your (silently) eloquent voice …

Thanks, Abi =)

Surya,
Good luck!

Hi Surya,

I am sad to see that you are stopping your blog.

I have one off topic question for you: I am studying in Berlin now and I was wondering if you knew the best (cheapest) way to call India from Germany.

Thanks,

Vikram

Vikram,

Try this: http://www.eurocallingcards.net

The “GlobalLine” card is what I have found to be a good trade-off between quality and price. You can buy this card in some of the shops too, but I think its slightly cheaper to buy online.

Thanks, Venkat.

Im not a great blogger myself, but I can spot one when I see one. Your blog had provided people all over with some good stuff to think about. Some of us will surely miss u when u go. Good luck, naattukaree…

Hi Surya,

Very sad to see that you are going to stop blogging. I am sure it was a difficult decision to make.

I enjoyed your blog a lot; thanks for all the interesting discussions and insights. I wish you luck for the future!

As Abhi said, will miss your silently eloquent voice.

I went back to your very first post and I found this …”So shall be born Silent Eloquence - a blog that celebrates the beauty and power of words.”

And in the next post you say this, “It sorta helps to record stuff. You know, maybe fifty years later, I can laugh at this and say - ha! how immature was i”

The more you write the more there is to treasure. Why limit the treasure. Wouldn’t you agree ?

Then there is this quote by someone …”We only part to meet again”

Oh Dear! I missed this farewell! Now is too late to pray you to get back to blogging! Sigh…

Surya, will miss your blog…just wishing that some day you will decide to start another one…so long…

The Dark One

When I first heard the sounds of
Darkness and silence meeting within me

The little mind argues for light
The virtue, the power, the beauty

Light a brief happening could hold me not
All encompassing darkness drew me in

Darkness the infinite eternity
Dwarfs the happened, the happening and yet to happen

Choosing the eternal
Darkness I became

The dark one that I am
The divine and the devil are but a small part

The divine I dispense with ease
If you meet the devil you better cease

Love & Blessings
Jaggi.

I missed this too. RSS feeds gone haywire.

Do drop by the new Bhootakannadi. :)

Now that I come here after a long time, I see that your blog is shut down already. I certainly enjoyed my occasional visits here :) Good luck!
