Random Thoughts

My friend, Suresh had lived in Bangalore until he moved into Perumbavoor and into my class (5A) more than 20 years ago. He spoke very little Malayalam and was learning to speak the language like us. One day he declared to us, “My most favorite word in Malayalam is kadalas. Listen to the sound of it - k.a.d.a.l.aa.s”.

That was indeed true. That word did sound beautiful. It has a certain rhythm that is almost musical. When you speak or hear a word all the time, you don’t always see its beauty (kind of like many things in life). But, when you stop a while and think about it, there are so many beautiful things right around you that you hardly ever notice.

My most favorite word in English – Serendipity :-)
