Dear RR ji,
Thank you very much for love and concern.
I wrote everything down in forum to share with all and also to lessen the burden on myself.
I am almost recovered now..came back to work the very next day.
It is just that I am do not feel like eating and still can't talk much but my fingers do not mind doing the typing.
Some patients are also asking me why I am talking so less.

Dear Renu,
At least for the sake of the thief, you should get an expensive mobile and wear some gold!
To cool you down: One of my friends told me that a thief snatched her friend's chain and ran away!
He came back on the next day to beat her, because it was a gold covering chain!! Howzat??

LOL!
I somehow do not like gold..don't know why..since a child I always felt tired if I wore gold.
I also don't know why wearing gold makes me feel lethargic and sleepy.

Dear Ozone,
Your post sounds a bit insensitive but it's Ok I will take it as if you are trying to cheer me up.
You see a person who wants to make someone where Pottu and Gold won't do it at sword point!LOL
BTW I was tempted to write a Bengali Gaali here when I read your post but its ok yaar..never mind!LOL

Another humorous incident I heard many years back was a thief entered a house on the outskirts of the city .The house was huge and he thought that the people were rich but could not find anything worthwhile to steal from the husband and wife staying there .The wife wore no jewellary except for her Mangal Sutra which he was reluctant to take and neither they had much cash and just few 100 rupee notes and he got really mad and he was feeling hungry and opened the fridge to eat and found virtually nothing there except few bottles of water and a packet of milk and he gave a royal thrashing to both of them saying never in his life he has seen such stingy people and later left .
Actually the fact was that the couple had their house in the City and had constructed a big house on the outskirts to stay there post retirement but till then they wanted to just stay there during weekends or so and hence never carried much cash or wore expensive jewellary and bought food from the hotel and stayed a simple life there relaxing during weekends and it seems this thief was tipped wrongly by some one that he will get a good amount if he robs this house but he was highly shocked to see nothing in there and not even food .

Dear Ozone,
You know religion says that if one thinks of God at the time of death and can try to recite AUM one has been successful spiritually.
I used to wonder that sometimes it is not possible to know how we will die and if we can actually have the chance to think of God and recite any mantra too.
But when the sword came swinging towards me and he told me he was going to kill me all I thought was
Om Bhuur Bhuvah Svah
Tat-Savitur Varennyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhiimahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Pracodayaat ||
Today when I have recovered quite well within 2 days I am thanking God that at least now I know that my last thoughts would have been God if I were dead.
That Bhagyam is enough for me even if I do not wear Pottu or Gold.

If you want to use the forum extensively for your personal chimes, be prepared for some bashes too
There is as much insensitivity in what you wrote as much as you see in what is written.

Please continue to share to lower your burden . I have found out that writing is a good form of therapy .It has various dimensions i.e writing in private and writing in public . Both has its plus and minus points .Not everyone is comfortable in writing in public and I am happy that you feel more comfortable in doing so . Only downside to this is sometimes some comments of certain members here might upset you or irritate you even if it was written with good intentions or for humor .So be careful when you experience any negative emotion when you read any response to your post . Most of the people here are your well wishers here but then perceptions may vary from person to person as to how they interpret this whole episode .So just be careful about this aspect . Happy to see you posting as usual .Cheers .Keep it up .
there is a kannada devaranama from famous Purandara dasa
Rama rama rama sita rama enniro
Nemadinda bhajisuvavara kamitagala koduva nama
Chant the name (sita)Rama, which can give whatever is asked for for those who are devoted
Bharati yamana bhataru bandu horaduyendu metti tulidu
koraligatma seridaga hariya dhyana bharadayya
when Yama's servants come asking you to leave putting the noose around your neck , chanting would not help.

Ok since you seem to be not too happy that I am using forum for my personal chimes.
I wont be writing anymore on this.
In fact I had written earlier that I did not want to use up space here but other members did not mind and requested me to continue so that I would feel better.
So since I am fairly recovered now I will not be writing anymore on this.
Dear All,
I hope members did not mind reading all my personal experiences since 26th September.
Anyway since there seems to be an objection and some direct bashing too I am not posting anymore on this.
So far I really appreciated all good wishes from members

Dear Ozone,
One must not see Yama as an enemy.
Yama was not trying to kill me.
Yama is Dharmaraj.
He is no murderer.
We Hindus sometimes view Yama so negatively when He is actually a Dharma Raj.
When time is up all have to go..that is no doubt about that.
But with what state of mind one leaves is important.
My thought that time was not God Save me! I was thinking let me die with God's name in my mind.
"since there seems to be an objection and some direct bashing too I am not posting anymore on this."
I feel this not correct... If some one wants to let out their feelings/sufferings.. in my opinion others should try to pacify/extend solace..and try to share the ordeal/experience..This will help the sufferer to some extent to get away from the after effects..
What for every one preach about co-existance, humanity, friendship, bla..bla..!! Pl. think what happened to renuka Madam may happen to any body...or may be severe too.. Let us try to boost the moral of the victim instead of finding fault..This is the personal ordeal under gone by the Madam and nothing wrong in sharing her personal agony..

If a specific thread or the entire forum is to be dedicated to an individuals personal chime, I see I have no right to object. Thats solely the forums decision.
I see no venom in pointing it out that it is happening. If all of the members want to join the chorus and cheer the person up for the rest of your life, thats up to you. Some of us may want to see an early end to this and have it discussed else where in more gory detail.
Just as you want to be heard, I also would like to be heard, since I have too have an opinion. Just because it does not rhyme with the feelings of a majority does not mean it is bad or insensitive.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much.
Just would like to add this.
At first I thought some members post was kind of insensitive but then I thought over it again just now and I remembered this story which I am posting here(It was posted in Sai Lives thread on 20th September 2012.)
It is how sometimes an "aggressive" method can help someone too.
May be that member was trying to do that after all help to recover comes in many forms.

[TD="width: 726"]After flying thousands of kilometers to Prasanthi Nilayam, you try to learn something from everything you see there, especially in the courtyard of the temple. One morning during bhajan a crow continued to crouch on the concrete in front of us, long after the rest of his flock had come and gone. He sat and sat, while we sang and sang. You could tell he wanted to take off, but could not pick up the necessary wing power.
After sometime he gave a loud "Cawl" which set the other crows in motion. They deserted their posts on temple roof, palms and neem tree, and came whirling down and away again, as if to scoop up their mate. It looked very much as if he had been given the classic crow summons, "Come, fly!"
When he did not take to the air himself, some of the flock swooped down again and circled in a puzzled way. Then, one by one, they returned to their perches high above the courtyard, where they hopped uneasily to and fro, apparently unsure what was expected of them. Meanwhile, as if glued to the concrete, the old crow roosted helplessly, his beak opening and closing without a sound.
Many suspenseful moments later, he called again, very feebly. This time, only one crow responded, and to some purpose. He took up a challenging stance facing the groundling and set about dealing with the problem. His method was drastic and, eventually, effective.
Gentleness would not have worked. The newcomer began a mock attack, peeking at the old one, who tried to defend himself. It looked like a cruel kind of rescue, but no one watching could doubt that a rescue it was.
The "rescuer" had to intensify his offensive before the grounded crow was driven to take wing. Hurling himself desperately aloft, he dived under the nearest sunshade canopy, passing over the heads of the ladies as he tried to clear the outside wall, and failed. Instead, he blundered heavily into the top of the wall and flopped back into someone's lap. After a short but furious flurry of feather and saris, he found himself back in the courtyard, where his rescuer was still waiting and watching.
Once again the mock attack was renewed, with such vigour that the old crow rose into the air almost immediately, and soared elegantly under the roof and over the wall.
Mission accomplished, the rescuer flew away in turn, leaving us humans to interpret at our leisure what had happened. This example of crow seva—in which some of us had briefly taken an active part—showed one of those predicaments where waiting passively for a "miracle" is not enough. So you cry for help. Having done so, you may have to wait until the right kind of helper appears, one who understands what you need, perhaps better than you do yourself. A true helper will stay and persist until a solution is found; both of you have a part to play in it.
One of the teachings that first attracted me to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba was that the good is not always the pleasant. We know life is happiest when we are full of bliss, but also that sometimes life has to peck at us with apparent cruelty before we are impelled to summon up strength that we did not know we had in us. Then we soar over what seemed like insurmountable obstacles. Out of helplessness comes new power, and out of pain new freedom.[/TD]

As expected you have now got trapped in to responding to a comment that you did not like and stopped posting .
If there is an objection from Moderators then I would say you can stop writing . As regarding Objections / Bashing from other members ,I feel they have a right to do what they want ( within the limits of this forum ) and you can continue to do what you want .
You do not have to respond to every comment / post of yours and continue to write what you feel like writing .
As I pointed out in my earlier message this is one challenge of posting in public - you draw diverse sort of replies to your post and not all need to be of the same type .
Hoping to see u here again soon .Cheers .

Dear members,
I know many of us expressed support for me at my time of need.
I am grateful for that but since this story has been dragging on since 25th September it is wise if the story is stopped.
So since I am not writing anymore on this..I request members not to post any opinions on Ozones post cos I do not want any war of words.
I know you are all my well wishes and will certainly respect my humble request and let this be the last post on that unfortunate incident.

Dear Ozone,
You are entitled to your opinion.
But since I have decided to respect your opinion and stop posting....
I would be grateful if you would stop mocking me.
