the soul is neither born nor ceasing to be..

3.15 A. M
Devakottai 

Though had sound sleep over last night and into very early this morning , woke up at this hour.  I was sleeping in Pattalai.

Courtesy : an invasion by a bunch, not a battalion of course of ubiquitous mosquitoes through a Milli micro tiny hole in one corner of the net. Did lay in bed till 3.45 slowly inching towards getting fully awake.  Did stretch a little and a slight twisting.

Thought it apt to begin day's walking right away after bowel emptying and brushing. 

Yes,  

Didn't want to disturb mother and sister for a morning must caffeine. 

4.23 a. m
Started walking. 

Dogs enroute,  a few still in dead sleep and a few didn't bother to scare.  Road lights were fully on.  From our home at V Oorani till Arch,  there was hardly any one except me on the road at this hour. It took me 7 minutes to reach the famous Sankar café opposite to Bus station.  Already about half a dozen were already enjoying sipping steamy caffeine in close cluster. Notwithstanding corona era.  


Well, 
Done with quintessential coffee, - task 3 of the day's to do -, continued my stroll till a little further from St Mary's.  On my way back,  just glanced on the walls of either sides. 

On one side was written Biblical versions in translated vernacular. 

One such was  Matthew 28:20. The New International Version Matthew 28:20 verbatim is:

"and teaching(A) them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you(B) always, to the very end of the age.”

I'm afraid and don't dare fathom that any negativity could be there at all in any firmament of Christ. 

We need to  read the way it has been translated in Tamil, to have reasonably near appreciation of the above perspective. 

Here is the translation,

"இதோ,  இந்த உலக முடிவு வரை நான் உன்னோடு இருக்கிறேன்." 

In our Hindu anthology, the soul is neither born nor ceasing to be. 

On the other side of the wall:

Let's be back on track. 
We are discussing walking.  Let religions be pushed to the courts of God's. 

Aerobic activity suggested by WHO for a week is of a duration of 150 minutes.  Aerobic includes walking, running and cycling. Spoilt for choices. 

Keep walking and be fit like a fiddle.
