Will You Live With Me, Just For A Day?

Dear Sridhar,
Why one day..I am ready to live with your stories every day..Awesome topic!!

Tell me just one thing..Why do you call yourself a mofussil accountant all the time.. Not once not twice..I have heard this from you many times..Your professional colleague takes serious objection to this term..
We accountants bring in a lot of vibrant colours to life...!!

USHA

Dear Usha,

You really moved me with two of your statements - the readiness to live with my stories and your concern over my callling myself a mofussil accountant.

The first I accept as the sincerest appreciation from a genuine reader and a dear friend.

About the second, I have to say this - you see I am an accounant. And Madurai is a mofussil town. So 2+2=4.

Yesterday we had a CPE Seminar at our Madurai Branch of our Institute. The subject was new income tax return forms. A professional colleague sitting near me told me, "That is okay in metros; but for us mofussil accountants, that wont apply."

I do agree that we accountants do bring a lot of colours to life. We help the Government collect less in the form of taxes. We do provide real value-add service to corporates. And I can speak from the authority of my personal experience that a Mofussil Accountant like me does no less compared to our colleagues in the metros. What I want to emphasise is that Mofussil Accountant is not a derogatory term; it does not talk about the expertise of the man or the lack of it. It only describes his domicile.

Having said that I have to confess that your showing concern over my calling myself a MA really touched me. Thanks, Usha.

Most Gracious ILites,

Is an Accountant's religion, money? And his philosophy, materialism? When charged with these accusations, I was hurt. My lamentations in response to this charge form this Wednesday's post.

This post is for those who believe in God as well as for those who don't believe. If you ever had any doubts in the validity of the equation, God=Love=God, then this post will clear those doubts.

Let me have your views on this. For some time my signature will have a link "Your Religion" and click there will transport you there in no time.

hello sridhar

கள்ளச் சிரிப்புதனில் கள்ளமேதுமில்லை
பேசும் வார்த்தைகளோ வெறும் ஓசையே
விழிகள் பேசும் மொழி...அர்த்தம் பொதிந்து
பெற்றோருக்கும் உடன்பிறப்புகளுக்கும் வேதனை
சுமை?
குப்பைத்தொட்டிகளை நிறப்பும்

My cousin's son is also like the one you have mentioned
full of love ...
(love is a very simple word said to mean so many things)
this is paasam or very deep love
he is more than fifteen and behaves like a two year old
still not able to speak
and yes
we cannot keep him with us
look after him
feed or put him to sleep
amuse or keep him happy
toilet train or potty
dress or bathe
cajole or explain
for just one day
(no not even for an hour without his parents with us)
they dont attend functions or visit relatives together
they dont even go out long journeys
a simple ride in an auto car or moped
is all he gets
to see the unhelping world.....

Dear Sathya,

That was a very moving post. The parents in this case are engaged in a kind of penance. May God bless them.
