,india4 ,when ,mr4 ,a4,r4 ,narayanan rang me up to ask me for a foreword to his book of verse1 ,i did not know what ,i was in for4 ,because ,i had not met him before1 nor had ,i read any of his written work4 ,but ,i was instantly impressed by the simplicity and sincerity1 earnestness and anxiety in his voice1 and ,i readily agreed4 ,at the outset1 ,i must say that ,i was attracted by the title of the work ,truth and the ,myth couplets ,quips4 ',couplet' reminded me of the heroic couplets of ,alexander ,pope 7,dunciad and the rest7 and those of ,john ,dryden 7,mac ,flecknoe and so on74 ',quips were reminiscent of the witticisms of ,bernard ,shaw1 the epigrams of ,oscar ,wilde and the paradoxes of ,g4,k4 ,chesterton4 ,a combination of the two should be quite spicy1 ,i imagined4 ,nor was ,i disappointed4 ,for1 ,i found them undoubtedly spicy and readable4 ,the couplets in this booklet cover a wide range of subjects of general interest of ,god and ,man1 of life and death1 of truth and lies1 of profession and practice1 of politics and profit making and many other things4 ,the concept of truth and myth seemed to remain upper most in the mind of the author1 as when he says3 ,in the beginning was the word244444444 word was truth2 ,now word of truth has become old-fashioned myth ,he is refreshingly frank in the expression of his views1 be they traditional or modern or a happy blend of both4 ,this1 for instance1 of ,god and ,man3 ,who created man is unsolved mystery ,but creation of ,god is mans mastery ,if everywhere the ,god fill ,where1 on earth1 do devils dwell8 ,the author has no patience with man's capacity to deceive himself and others1 and man's flair for hypocrisy4 ,and rightly so too1 as we are all sure to agree3 ,say one thing and do something else ,is the first step towards success4 ,man is prisoner of his own mind2 ,none else can bail him out of the bond ,sometimes1 he is philosophical and unconventional1 as in the couplet3 ,if our ,god is present everywhere1 ,should one go to temple for prayer8 ,or ,why need middlemen ,between ,god and man8 ,at other times1 he is satirical1 with elements of irony and sarcasm4 ,but he is always effective1 because he is in right earnest4 ,this might be his first attempt at poetic composition1 but there is maturity of thought and depth of feeling1 which come from his variety of experience in life4 ,i wish more power to his elbow2 and hope that this collection1 or may be selection1 of couplets1 will have a wide circle of readers4 ,the quips are thought provoking1 without being too harsh or hurting4 ,dr4 ,d4 ,anjaneyulu ,madras1 #bbnd ,may #aiie ,,introduction ,look around us1 people are busily engaged in many things2 serious1 silly or sincere2 inducing a spurt of smile or laughter2 of fun1 scorn or sympathy2 on our lips4 ,you and me are no exception4 ,we too contribute to others fancy4 ,of ,god's creations1 only man can laugh ,for1 to be laughed at1 he does lot enough ,laughing at others1 we should also be bold to direct the very scorn at ourselves4 ,but many of us simply won't or refuse to in the belief that each one of us is an exception4 ,laughter is a good medicine and1 coming out of the hermit shell1 we should learn to laugh at all laughable actions of the self and others4 ,man is sincere to and concerned only about himself4 ,in his frenzy to own all the comforts and happiness of the world1 he forgets his roots1 tradition1 nobility1 culture and obligations towards the society1 rendering his every action a ludicrous one4 ,man invented money for trading2 ,but1 on man1 money is now treading ,money has become everything to man and he is today and addict to it4 ,his prayers1 religious rites and marital1 paternal1 filial and fraternal relationships are guided by the quantum of money inflow4 ,here1 in this era1 man would do anything for handful of money because money is power4 ,man derives all pleasures1 respect1 opportunities1 and even a ticket to contest elections as candidate of a popular political party1 get through it and reach positions on the top rung of political ladder by mere might of money4 ,when the moneyed scoop all the fortunes on earth1 the poor can only gaze agape at them1 with a sigh4 ,the moneyed may be able to buy everything on earth1 but not love4 ,to exploit and live under his opulence1 even distant relations and kith around him will pretend to love him4 ,he will live in a fool's paradise believing that all of them really care for him1 until the day his last pie is drained off and the love1 sincerity and the loyalty of this so-called kith and kin are put to the acid test4 ,even after knowing the occult deceptive function of it1 man stakes his life in the grand race for money4 ,blinded by the spell of its tinkle1 money becomes everything for him4 ,he plunges into all sorts of malpractice to earn money and to create a comfortable cushion of savings4 ,no man is an exception to it4 ,however1 the most culpable are the public servants that have turned the public offices into private profit centres4 ,their pray are the poorest of the poor and those who are in distress4 ,religious consciousness and respect for human values are overtly exhibited and upheld by him and he goes though all the rites and customs1 in the guise of a man committed to social well being1 camouflaging the evil intentions that lie deep beneath his heart4 ,the places of worships1 priests1 charitable institutions and social organisations get profuse patronage from such people who literally steal the show wielding money4 ,the poor are trampled to earth by the moneyed in their endeavour to grow tall1 tall and taller1 piercing the sky4 ,as the obeisance for money grew1 the religious devotion became a mere ritualistic showpiece without any priming or pricking of conscience4 ,not only the religious rites1 but also man's every interaction with his family1 relatives and the society1 in general1 have become a real deplorable mockery4 ,the sacred profession people select are also being desecrated by taking short cuts to riches at the cost of quality4 ,religious fanaticism is another epidemic that has1 of late1 invaded the mankind4 ,the intolerance of alien faith assumed devastating proportions and threatens the very existence of social1 national and international amity4 ,while none of the staunch fanatics have met ,god and ascertained his identity1 they do not realise1 all their frenzies to safeguard and sanctify the name they attribute to the ,god are all ill disposed4 ,the masses follow the religious leaders blindly reminding the innocent children that walked into the back of beyond trailing the ,pied ,piper under the spell of his magical music4 ,god and the religions are creations of man for the betterment of mankind4 ,trifling all tenets and codes of moral conduct of their religion1 the fanatics violently impose their ideology on the followers of alien faith and get easily infuriated on expression of slightest dissention of criticism4 ,where will this tendency take us8 ,i am afraid1 back to savagery4 ,i dart my thoughts towards all social evils1 sprouted from the lust of money1 egoism1 and religious fanaticism1 in the form of couplet quips1 philosophy instilled and sarcasm anointed4 ,many of these couplets are impregnated with occult and thought-provoking concepts and the reader may have to think and think over1 even traverse through religious scriptures to enjoy the real kick of it4 ,i do not know how far ,i have succeeded in making an impact on the conscience of society and in summoning one and all to throw down their gloves against this social menace4 ,you are the judge4 ,i welcome your bouquets and brickbats alike and1 whichever it may be1 ,i love to treasure it within the inner lobe of my heart1 wrapped in velvet1 forever4 ,a4,r4 ,narayanan ,,oum ,namo ,narayanaya6 ,chanting hymn octave ,narayanan offers at ,thy feet1 his couplets stave4
