I am not talking about someone pregnant for three months but about a college who has got a big connection to three months.
He works in the same company as I am and one day when I was talking to him about his life he had a great story behind to tell me.
He joined the company within in three months of his completion of bachelor’s course.
He tried for his higher studies for three months from the time he joined the company and lost it. He had to accept the hard truth and it took almost three months for his to convince himself.
Within three months from then he got an opportunity fly across the continent; stayed in US for three months on his first trip.
He was a technical consultant and due to his nature of job he had to visit different countries and never he has stayed in any country for more than three months.
He got married and it was three months for his marriage from the time he met his life partner.
Finally he decided to quit the organization and worked in some other company but could not continue for more than three months and returned back to his previous employer.
Got married in three months from the time he first met his life partner.
Within three months of his marriage he had to travel again :-(
Due to family constrains he decided to take his family for a for a long term opportunity and stay for a while in US.
But seems the three month spell casted on him still has an effect.
He had to frequently change his stint in different places in US.
Finally landed up in Chicago and took three months to get him settled.
He is now in UK for the last three months. Hope his three month spell casted is broken at least here and he continues to live in peace for more than three months at one place.

Summa Iru
This was one of the times when I was at home and didn’t know what to do. So, like any software funky, i started browsing. so not knowing what to search for just typed a word summa. Lol there was some content on the You tube. It was all about a swamiji giving some bhashan but fortunately it was in Tamil. Anyway I didn’t know how to spend time, decided to hear what the swamiji had to say.
He was talking about a poet Arunagirinathar who lived in Tamilnadu. He was the composer of Thiruppugaz, a set of poems praising Lord Murugan. The story starts when Arunagirinathar attempts to kill himself by jumping from the top of the temple tower. Just then Lord Murugan appeared in front of him and gave him a secret manthra. The Swamiji then paused and said do you know what was that great manthra? "Summa Iru, Sollara", means "Just be quite and don’t say anything". The swamiji further elaborated that it means not to just sit idle but to keep our mind in a state of stillness as it is always fond of wandering. If you can keep you mind in a still state without thinking of anything else, you will be in the present which will be a great present in our life. Thus he continued for some more time elaborating more on this...
The next day when I was in office, I got a short break in between meetings and as usual I started thinking on too many things in my small brain and suddenly the word "Summa Iru" also dropped into my mind.
Suddenly had a thought swamiji had really said something that is true. So again I did a Google search but with the exact word “Summa Iru” what else you can think doing rather than using a search engine if you happen to be a software engineer. Phew, there was lots of links related to this word. One of them was a thesis work submitted by a student and he added lots and lots of information which I was not able to digest.
Following is the actual song along with its meaning from the site Summa Iru - Power of Silence
Song
Semmaan Magalaith Thirudum Thirudan
Pemmaan Murugan Piravaan Iravaan
Summaa Iru Sollara Enralume
Ammaa Porul Onrum Arindhilane
Translation
"The Stealer who kidnapped Valli, born to the red deer;
That glorious Murugan, deathless and unborn -
When He, speechless, instructed me 'Be Silent',
What wonder! Even a single object I knew not."
Explanation
"What a wonder! When Lord Murugan - the stealer who kidnapped Valli
born of a red deer, the Glorious One, the birthless and deathless
One -instructed me through silence to 'Be Silent', Lo! I knew no object of the world."
Was really wondering how a simple word "Summa Iru" that we use day in and day out has so much of philosophical meaning!
