Natural World

I walk through the valleys, steep

Nothing seems to be so bright

When all men fall soundly asleep

I fondly look for the morning sunlight!


Different nationalities move around

I creep slowly on the grassy land

Huge trees on the roads, surround

with no movement, look, they stand!

A group of hares run across the byway

and a flock of birds fly gladly so high

The half sized moon glides away.

giving the way to the sun, in the sky!

I was caught in the dreamworld

while thinking of people, and guessing

It’s nice to live in the  natural world

which is impartial and a blessing!

Believe in Yourself

The powerful deity and the God of humanity
fondly gaze at each other with love and affection;
Sensual attire on the Goddess Parvati
attracts the devotees’ sight in an old temple!
The soul’s faith in the power of Lord Shiva
and courage in the eyes of Goddess Durga
rejuvenate the mental and physical strength
that helps us go on and on with a hope further!
Culture and customs are the way of life
and religion shows a way to face our strife;
The messenger between the God and divinity
shows the path of responsibility and tranquility!
I do not visit several temples;
I do not know complicated philosophies
My brain and my heart are my temples;
My philosophy is my kindness!

    Pongal

    If souls seek peace in the west or east
    We cherish the celebration of every feast;
    If we seek liberty and use it always right
    We shall positively avoid violence and fight!
    Let’s hope for a lovely and peaceful day
    and enjoy every occurrence in a happy way;
    Festive days come and go in every year
    and remind us a good message that’s clear!
    On the eve of wonderful harvesting festival
    I wish you all a bounteous and happy pongal!

    A True Mirror

    Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. In my view, they have to understand that their neighbour is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems and the same questions.
    Family, society and the environment where the child grows play an important role in his life. Parents teach their child to behave decently from childhood and make sure that he follows it promptly. During his growth, he adopts many techniques to behave in a manner and thinks that he is a suitable person in a community. Adolescence alters his attitude tremendously. Naughtiness, intelligence and mental maturity make him appear differently in a society. In fact, it also depends on the parents’ attitude how they deal with their child at this stage.
    Peer groups will influence the teenager in various ways. He gets inspiration from his fellow students and tries to show his behavioural change. Besides, he is attracted by media and societal customs, culture and traditions. We do not feel that he should not follow western culture. He adopts a life style according to his time and place. It is a way of his living. Modern dresses, junk food, films, art, dance and literature become his passport to the world today.
    Are the teenagers and adults given more freedom today? It’s a question which makes us think a lot about their life style today. We expect respect, values and responsibility from the future citizens. It is possible when they are counseled and guided in a right path. They should be given a room to think and lead a valuable life. How is it possible? Do people spend their little time to think and understand their mind?
    Parents live with their children under the same roof for a long time and often fail to understand their interests, attitude and culture of their son/daughter. Furthermore, they behave like strangers. They design their child in a way that they grew up and learned things in their childhood. Is it possible to see the same attitude in their children?
    As the generation changes, the attitude, interests, life style, habits and culture of people also change a lot!
    “We seldom realize that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. The languages and images that we did not invent were given to us by our society.”
    It is the high time that we need to look into this matter and mould the new generation so that they step into a new life which makes them peaceful and joyous beings in the society.
    “A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.”

      Love Your Neighbour

      Midwinter
      reminds us the feast
      of Merry Christmas!
      Beautiful Christmas tree
      decked with reddish flowers,
       covered with silky ribbons
      and stars remind us brightness
      in the life of people!
      Wrapped precious gifts
      given by Santa Clause
      bring happiness in the world!
       Lord Jesus’s sacrifice reminds us our duty
      And responsibility in turn makes us know:
      ‘Love your neighbor as thy self!’

        Wings

        A tiny immature bird –
        develops its wings and wisdom;
        The bird attains freedom from the cage
        and disconnects with family and flies away one day!
        An infant –
        attains physical and mental growth
        that alters his attitude to prosper one day;
        The man moves further in his path
        and leaves his family in the name of growth!
        The man throws himself at the ground and miss
        and this knack gives him a cheerful bliss;
        Strength in the bird lies in its able wings
        Confidence in a man lies in his detached rings!
