Speaker 1 (0:00) I watched a movie called Kaasi when I was a kid. It is not in the song that he goes to Kashi in search of God. Vikram would have thought that he is blind. In some movie, the villain's name is Kashi. He is the man of Kashi. He is the villain. I remember a movie like that. Then, my relatives told me that in a vessel sealed with a seal, they should bring Kashi water. They said that it should be broken into a lamp and bathed. So, I had that experience with Kashi. I am talking to you from this corner of Kasi. Welcome and welcome to Pacha Sattai with me RJ Waladhan. Yes uncle, aunty, brother, sister, I am in Pacha Sattai, Kasi. Yesterday I was in Rameswaram, today I am in Kashi. Ten days before, I left from Madurai and went to Kashi. An aunt asked me, we have been on tour for Speaker 2 (0:54) 10 days, Speaker 1 (0:54) yesterday you were Speaker 2 (0:54) in Speaker 1 (0:54) Rameswaram, today you are here. How do you Speaker 2 (0:56) know Speaker 1 (0:56) aunt? That is what she Speaker 2 (0:57) said in Speaker 1 (0:57) the news. Nowadays, no matter Speaker 2 (0:59) which Speaker 1 (0:59) temple you go to, someone can Speaker 2 (1:01) take a Speaker 1 (1:01) video silently. Why do you Speaker 2 (1:03) need Speaker 1 (1:03) a video? I am the one who Speaker 2 (1:05) is on the Speaker 1 (1:05) news channel. Can't Speaker 2 (1:06) you Speaker 1 (1:06) ask them? So, I Speaker 2 (1:07) went to Speaker 1 (1:07) Rameswaram, Kashi, I saw it Speaker 2 (1:09) beautifully, Speaker 1 (1:09) and then there is another place, Gaya. I went to Gaya and then I went to Chennai. Today is the first Speaker 2 (1:16) day in Speaker 1 (1:16) Kasi. This place is so vibrant and I told you, right? I came to Speaker 2 (1:23) a Speaker 1 (1:23) place without Speaker 2 (1:24) any experience. Speaker 1 (1:24) Wow! Is this Chennai? Is this Kashi? It's so amazing. How much life is there? How is the food? I ate from the stone. They bought me a lassi to get down. I was so hungry after drinking that lassi. Aha! They put a malai in it. They put an almond paste in it. They put something else. They put aadai. Aadai means... It's only in the milk. They put aadai from curd. Aha! A lassi like that. Aadai! Aadai! Aadai! After that, a poori Speaker 2 (1:49) like a puri. Speaker 1 (1:49) After that, a samosa. Aiyo! How Speaker 2 (1:51) do they serve Speaker 1 (1:51) Samosa? They Speaker 2 (1:52) serve Speaker 1 (1:52) 2 lakh Samosa in a set. 2000 people are waiting to Speaker 2 (1:56) eat it in Speaker 1 (1:56) the queue. So, we Speaker 2 (1:57) are going Speaker 1 (1:57) to Banaras Paan. Banaras Paan? What Paan? It is just a normal sweet Bida. If we Speaker 2 (2:02) eat it Speaker 1 (2:02) in Banaras, it will be Speaker 2 (2:03) a little Speaker 1 (2:03) spicy. After Speaker 2 (2:05) eating Speaker 1 (2:05) that Bida, we finished Speaker 2 (2:06) our Speaker 1 (2:06) food tour. Did I go Speaker 2 (2:08) for Speaker 1 (2:08) this? No. On this spiritual journey, we Speaker 2 (2:10) have to say Speaker 1 (2:10) that Speaker 2 (2:10) let Speaker 1 (2:10) me Speaker 2 (2:10) get Speaker 1 (2:10) hungry. Speaker 1 (2:13) So, it's good. It's great. I feel satisfied. I feel relieved. I feel Speaker 2 (2:17) that I am getting these Speaker 1 (2:17) things. So, me and Panjamuttai are holding hands and saying, Parava, where are Speaker 2 (2:23) you? Speaker 1 (2:23) We are going happily. There are Speaker 2 (2:25) also some Speaker 1 (2:25) Tamilians here. Wherever I see, they Speaker 2 (2:27) are Speaker 1 (2:27) our people. Okay, I saw what happened. I saw a young boy in Kashi. I thought about what to talk about him. Are you coming to the Justice Court in the afternoon? I woke up at 3.45 in the morning. Now, it's getting late. But, I should not miss my duty. I came late last week. So, I am very sincere. I will tell you about the boy I met in Kasi. I spent the whole day with the boy I met in Kasi. That boy is from Madurai. He came from Madurai and came with me to this village. I said, this village is very beautiful. I said, this village is very beautiful. He arranged everything. I will tell you who he is. This guy was the opposite of what we discussed last week. What did we discuss last week? When the opportunity comes to our hands, we used to slap it like, I don't want this. In life, in victory, when we take our hands, we fear the victory. We fear that we will fail. So, we pushed that chance and kept it aside. We talked about those who didn't go near that chance till the end. We talked about the people we saw and what happened to us. I was telling you. Now, as the opposite of that, a small random I was not scared at all. But, when I saw a random light that was reflected in a corner of my mind, I was amazed. I was like, wow, this guy is so good. I was shocked. But, I thought, I should talk about him. So, I thought, I should talk
