Mrignayani

About the Blogspot address.

It has been an arduous task to find a suitable name for the Blog. All the exciting, striking and meaningful titles had already been taken. Through all the frustration, one day, one of my friends, Mr.Vellody suggested, why I don’t select Soumini as the title. That happens to be my mothers name and it suited me fine. It was most likely to be available too. But then I had an inspiration. Why not go one or two generations backwards? And the story read: Soumini’s mother is Rugmini and Rugmini’s mother is Mrignayani. Well, there it ended. No further data available.

I feel that we all owe something to our great ancestors for our present. Be it for good or for bad, isn’t it nice to know our roots? And there are plenty of people spread far and wide on this planet who are progenies of this great lady and who knows, any one of them or their parents might have information about Mriganayani’s mother and her mother’s mother as well. I am sure some one would surely throw some light on our antiquity.

So the blog domain stands at MRIGNAYANI 2 JP . I had to add 2jp because as usual the name already been taken and secondly, I thought my great ancestor would now talk to the present generation through me. Or atleast keep the flame of her memory alight for generations to come.

About the Blog:

Due to reforms being practiced by successive governments,the quality of education has suffered irrepairable loss. Now students, that is the future citizens, are least bothered about their social obligations, thanks to the negligence shown to the study of Social Studies as a subject right from school days to UG level.

This blog intends to bring up topics that are relevant to modern times so that my readers who spend very little time for serious reading are exposed to ideas that inspire them to THINK.

Also, this blog would try to pass on random pieces of usable knowledge in philosophy, science, religion, literature etc, which I glean from my resources . This I think would prompt my readers to explore further into their respective areas of interest to further their knowledge.

I expect valuable feedbacks from my readers which would further help in disseminating knowledge.

Expectations are utopian. But no harm in trying, right?

  2. If i am not wrong it is the great Kannada poet Gopalakrishna Adiga who used the image of "haley beru, hosa chiguru." (or is it D.V.G.?)And it was another great Kannada poet Pu.Ti.Na. who said, "Ee jagadolu posataavudu peliri, jodane horatu?"

    All the best. Looking forward to your postings Sir.

    Peace,
