Subjects that Mattered

Thoughts that Mattered Much, Areas around them..  as I grew up and the subjects/people gave some answers to reach some peace and joy  ! 

I learnt more through listening than actually sitting n learning !  I enjoy contemplating and dreaming :)

By nature I am creative but involved into it beyond by identity. My parents have a huge role for me to think a bit more logically and reasonably !  ! Particularly my father is the one who through his own practices and studies made me feel more the role of Dharma as a filter for any  journey  through this life ...the same thing to do with my research also !! My early introduction to several great works that I came by as books and through my parents., grand parents ( golilu tatagaru , satyavatamma, ammamma ) .. Ramayana by different authors , Krishna Satakam , Potana Bhagavatam, musical compositions by several great masters , sanskrit and telugu works/prayers , bhajans, chandamamas it was a lot that I got exposed and read to by my sixth year. I craved for picture books... all reading is through  either prizes or books borrowed from here and there . My mother is more analytically curious , selective in approach, calculative at every step , brisk to attend to everything of life ! Her duty minded approach to anything ,  with focus without being lost surprised me ......

The subjects I covered included a vast range ..............

• Images :My first curiosities , search for freedom to pursue started too early in life .... how to draw pictures , making my own dolls, mold them using different materials .... then I found I could create more patterns with my body ! Dance interested me a lot , rhythm made me immerse ..I felt dance more liberating than sitting at any art , let it be singing , or confined to any instrument  -   
• Music  -  My mom used to study audio signals while I was a kid for her exams in Music ! This fascinated me a lot as she used draw these pics in her book ! 

• Nature fascinated me became the first trigger for me to move towards Physics ..it was purely natural
• People , families , emotions seemed the most cryptic thing to follow ,  context based Tyagaraja's Kritis seemed like another natural things that gave some answers to the biggest psychological twists ...I read
• Sex or related things - my first knowledge of this from school friends it was first a taboo .. then curiosity, then as urge , later a frustration   I tried to find meaning to all this clearly through many ways ..books, movies of different sorts , observations at many levels ... including some knowledge of Tantra , parents ... but this seemed like heck of subject , until  I was married and thanks to my husband :)!! I got the true meaning to this beautiful subject !
• Self  :  I started getting more curious about who I am, Paramacharya and his role in this life, Gurus, life  in general and more ! This has been there always, but other things dominated it more ! Once it happened overwhelm me  @ 2001, I was most restless in my life ... I read very fast, most ... felt glimpses of  ALMIGHTY , magical life , providential coincidences ... I am thankful to many  but most to H.H.Sankara Vijayendra Saraswati Swamiji  !! Books like Devi Bhagavata , Yoga Vasista, Hindu Dharma, culture , values and lots more.

• Others :  Others I read/thought/worked on about passionately included Vaastu, Feng-Shui ,fashion, travel .......... I read a lot  ! 

For me Adi Sankaracharaya and his Parampara means a lot ..they add so much meaning to research in a number of ways and fields !  For me true research  has to add in more peace and joy at any level , mind , body or soul level !
