To My Friend...

During Times of sorrow
During Times of joy
During Times of Loneliness
You were with me!!

When I lost my confidence
Your words were my strength
When I lost my energy
Your smile energized me!!

When I fought with you
You were patient with me
When tears filled my eyes
You asked me to be brave!!

When flowers boasted about its beauty
When rainbow boasted about its colors
When sky boasted of its height-sea of its depth
I boasted to them about you - My friend!!

Diamonds are of no worth
Riches are of no worth
Till my life ends - You and your
Nearness are worthy to me!!

DAWN OF HUMANITY

Break the chains of slavery
Walk with Confidence- Then
The height of sky also can be reached
The depth of sea also can be touched

Do not yield to superstitious belief
Do not yield to false Promises of Politicians
Do not yield to fake heroic deeds in Cinema
Do not yield to drugs that spoil your future

Bear in Mind that each one has responsibility to this society
When you take each step ahead in your life think that it must be useful to Mankind
Do not think yourself inferior to anyone
Try to accept your faults –It is the way to success!!

To improve one’s altitude in life
Remember Self Motivation is the best attitude one can have!
Do not stumble and fall when hit by any failure
Try to withstand the force of failure and make it to success!!

Compassion and love towards humanity
It is the quality that is most needed in today’s world
Break the borders of the countries with love- Then
Dawn of Humanity is not so far!!

“What is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.”

Goes the lines of the Poem Leisure by Wm. Henry Davies.

How true are those lines in today’s busy world where we have no time to spend for our family, no time to spend with our friends, no time to spend for ourselves.

Our days starts daily with full of tension . We never greet our Parents at home. We never go for a walking that would make us fresh and happy. We start our day searching for dress, files , bag… Run for the bus…

At office we just sit the whole day before the computers. May be sitting before computers and handling machines we have forgot to handle people . Important bondage that helps in handling people and keeps the relationship evergreen. That is LOVE. No one can deny the fact that we all love our parents,wife,children,friends. But are we really showing them how much we love them? How much we care for them? How much we would miss them when they are not with us?

During office hours even if we get a call from friend we Just say I am busy. Yes of course, we may be busy but have we taken care to call them later and ask them why they called us?

Have we ever thought of spending time with our children at home. The best part in life is watching our kids grow. But how many of us sit with them , spend time with them, teach them, play with them? It’s a million dollar question and the answer would be just “I am busy”.

Few days before just read a story regarding this which kindled me to write this article.

The story is about a software engineer who is always busy with work. He forgets that he has a wife and a child at home. He starts early morning from office and enters home at late night. Now it so happened one day in his company a session was taken regarding expressing the love we have for our family and friends. After attending the session when he came out the time was 6PM. If it would have been other days he would have gone to work. But this session changed him a lot. He thought of going home and express his love to someone. When he thought regarding this he remembered his son who is 10 years old.

He reached his home and was surprised to see the rooms with darkness. He went inside each room searching for his son. When he entered the study room of his son he saw his son busy writing something. He just went near him and called him by his name. The kid was busy writing something and on seeing his father just crushed the paper with his hands. Now the father, sat near his son hugged him and asked him…

What your doing darling?
When did you come from school?
Did you have your evening snacks?

The child on hearing those words from his father started crying. Father did not understand what was wrong in his questions and why the child was crying? He tried to ask the child but he was crying all the more. At last, the kid gave the crushed paper which he had in his hand and gave it to father for reading.

It was addressed to his father.
Dear father,

I have never experienced your love and care. I am just afraid whether I would lose them in my life. I just don’t feel like living in this world.

On reading those lines the father hugged his son and cried. If he had not come to his home and expressed his love to his son what would have happened. It was unbearable for him to imagine.

Yes, Many of us fail to express our love to our dear and loved ones in the name of work. Just we must learn to balance our Personal life and work.

After all we work for our loved ones. When they get the feeling that we don’t care for them then what is the use of earning so much?

Just give a thought over this!!

Let us express our love and affection to our Near and dear Ones.

MIRAGE

MIRAGE

The room was dark. She could hear feeble footsteps. She woke up from her bed and sharpened her ears. She was old and her senses too were not very sharp. She was nearing her last days. She lost her husband five years back. Now the footsteps were heard so near and was much stronger than before. She was unable to get down from her bed. The door slowly opened. Through the half opened door the rays of sun entered the room. Amma!! she was surprised to hear the voice. Now the words were very clear. Amma!! How are you? It was her son Ravi. He had left for states after the death of his father and settled there with his family. He used to send her money order every month. Now, after 5 years he had come to visit his mother. Her joy knew no bounds. She jumped out of joy. She felt that her body was filled with new energy.

Ravi came near her bed and hugged his mother. Amma, how are you? I am fine dear. You did not inform in your previous letter too that your coming. Her eyes widened with surprise. Yes amma, they have sent me here from my company for a week for an official work. It all happened very soon and no time to inform. Her eyes was filled with tears. She kissed on his forehead. She got down from her bed. Amma, what your doing? You just lie down! said Ravi. No No you have come after 5 years . Just wait I will prepare all the dishes u like within seconds. Ravi u like sweets right? I will prepare it dear. Amma no need to strain yourself !! She turned to him. What you said dear? Strain!! This is not at all Ravi. The days when I was alone here , the days when I had always cried for your presence near me were the days of pain and strain. Not when your near me my child!! Her words came in whispers. She was almost crying!! Amma , now I am here. Please don’t cry . Ravi hugged his old mother.

She went inside the kitchen. Where from I got so much of strength ? she asked herself. She was preparing lunch so quickly. She had finished with her son’s favorite sweet. She kept them in a plate and came to hall calling her son. Ravi was not in the hall. Thinking he might have gone to his study room went there. She did not find him there too. She was wonderstruck. She was searching for him calling his name aloud. Ravi! Ravi! Where are you son? Where did you go? See I have prepared your favorite sweet!! Come and have some dear!! she came out shouting . But Ravi was not found anywhere!

Just then lady in the next house was explaining this scenario to her husband. She was telling , Poor lady!! Daily she comes out calling for her son thinking he had arrived!!
She always expects that her son would come one day but all her expectations turns to be a mirage.

காதல் பற்றிப் பேசுகிறார் தந்தை பெரியார்...

காதல் பற்றிப் பேசுகிறார் தந்தை பெரியார்...

இன்றைய தினம் காதலைப் பற்றிப் பேசுகிறவர்கள், அன்பு, நேசம், ஆசை, காமம், மோகம் என்பவை வேறு; காதல் வேறு என்றும், அது ஒரு ஆணுக்கும், பெண்ணுக்கும் தங்களுக்குள் நேரே விவரித்துச் சொல்ல முடியாத ஒரு தனிக் காரியத்துக்காக ஏற்படுவதாகும் என்றும், அதுவும் இருவருக்கும் இயற்கையாக உண்டாகக் கூடியதாகும் என்றும், அக்காதலுக்கு இணையானது உலகத்தில் வேறு ஒன்றுமில்லை என்றும், அதுவும் ஒரு ஆணுக்கு ஒரு பெண்ணிடமும், ஒரு பெண்ணுக்கு ஒரு ஆணிடமும் மாத்திரந்தான் இருக்க முடியும் என்றும், அந்தப்படி ஒருவரிடம் ஒருவருக்குமாக இருவருக்கும் ஒரு காலத்தில் காதல் ஏற்பட்டுவிட்டால், பிறகு எந்தக் காரணங்கொண்டும் எந்தக் காலத்திலும் அந்தக் காதல் மாறவே மாறாது என்றும், பிறகு வேறொருவரிடம் காதல் ஏற்பட்டுவிட்டால், அது காதலாயிருக்க முடியாது; அதை விபசாரமென்றுதான் சொல்ல வேண்டுமே ஒழிய, அது ஒருக்காலும் காதலாகாது என்றும், ஒரு இடத்தில் உண்மைக்காதல் ஏற்பட்டுவிட்டால், பிறகு யாரிடமும் காமமோ விரகமோ மோகமோ ஏற்படாது என்றும் சொல்லப்படுகின்றன.அழகைக்கொண்டோ, பருவத்தைக்கொண்டோ, அறிவைக் கொண்டோ, ஆஸ்தியைக்கொண்டோ, கல்வியைக்கொண்டோ, சங்கீதத்தைக் கொண்டோ, சாயலைக்கொண்டோ, பெற்றோர் பெருமையைக்கொண்டோ, தனது போக யோக்கியத்துக்குப் பயன்படுவதைக்கொண்டோ அல்லது மற்ற ஏதோவொரு திருப்தியையோ அல்லது தனக்குத் தேவையான காரியத்தையோ, குணத்தையோகொண்டோ தான் யாரும் எந்தப் பெண்ணிடமும், ஆணிடமும் காதல் கொள்ள முடியும். அப்படிப்பட்ட அந்தக் காரியங்களெல்லாம் ஒருவன் காதல் கொள்ளும்போது அவன் அறிந்தது உண்மையாகவும் இருக்கலாம்; அல்லது, அங்கிருப்பதாக அவன் நினைத்துக் காதல் கொண்டிருந்தாலும் இருக்கலாம்; அல்லது, வேஷமாத்திரத்தால் காட்டப்பட்ட ஒன்றினால் இருந்தாலும் இருக்கலாம். ஆகவே ஆசையைவிட, அன்பை விட, நட்பைவிட, காதல் என்பதாக வேறு ஒன்று இல்லை என்றும், அந்த அன்பு, ஆசை, நட்பு ஆகியவைகூட மக்களுக்கு அறிணைப் பொருள்கள் இடத்திலும், மற்ற உயர்திணைப் பொருள்களிடத்திலும் ஏற்படுவது போல்தானே ஒழிய, வேறில்லையென்றும், அதுவும் ஒருவருக்கொருவர் அறிந்துகொள்வதிலிருந்து, நடவடிக் கையிலிருந்து, யோக்கியதையிலிருந்து, மனப்பான்மையிலிருந்து, தேவையிலிருந்து, ஆசையிலிருந்து உண்டாவதென்றும், அவ்வறிவும் நடவடிக்கையும் யோக்கியதையும் மனப்பான்மையும் தேவையும் ஆசையும் மாறக்கூடிய தென்றும், அப்படி மாறும்போது அன்பும் நட்பும் மாற வேண்டியதுதான் என்றும், மாறக்கூடியதுதான் என்றும் நாம் கருதுகின்றோம்.

ஆகவே, இதிலிருந்து நாம் யாரிடமும் அன்பும் ஆசையும் நட்பும் பொருளாகக்கொண்ட காதல் கூடாதென்றோ, அப்படிப்பட்டதில்லை என்றோ சொல்ல வரவில்லை. ஆனால் அன்பும், ஆசையும் நட்பும் மற்றும் எதுவானாலும், மன இன்பத்துக்கும் திருப்திக்குமேயொழிய மனத்துக்குத் திருப்தியும் இன்பமும் இல்லாமல், அன்பும் ஆசையும் நட்பும் இருப்பதாகக் காட்டுவதற்காக அல்ல என்பதை எடுத்துக்காட்டு வதற்காகவே இதை எழுதுகிறோம்.

The Rich Little Boy

The Rich Little Boy

Akilan woke up from sleep hearing the ringing of temple bells. He got up and went to wash his face in the roadside pump. Akilan was five years old and was an orphan. He knew nothing about joy and happiness. All he knew was hunger, humiliation, and tears. As he was washing his face, the priest of the temple came to pump water. He shouted at Akilan to move and pumped the water and then went inside the temple. Akilan was staring at the temple for sometime. Then as usual he went and sat outside the temple for begging. He had no strength. He was starving for the third day. He was tired and had no strength. Many people walked into temple but none cared to look at him. He was vexed. It was a hot day. Akilan slowly got up and went to the roadside pump to fill his stomach with water. As he went near the pump he saw a rich lady and his small son walking towards the temple. The rich little boy was holding a big toy gun in his hands and he was making the sound of the gun with his mouth as he was walking. The rich little boy saw Akilan and stopped for a minute. Akilan was seeing the toy gun. He had never seen such a big toy gun before! His eyes opened wide on seeing the gun. Even during the THIRUVIZHA at temples he used to see only small one. He forgot his hunger and was looking at the toy gun with eagerness. The rich little boy was surprised to see Akilan in such a bad condition with torn clothes, dry hair. He was moved by this and understood that Akilan was seeing the toy gun. He smiled at Akilan and handed over the gun to Akilan. Akilan smiled at rich little boy but he was hesitating to get the gun. Have It! said the little rich boy in childish manner. When Akilan went near the rich little boy to get the gun, little rich boy's mother pushed Akilan aside with full force. She looked at Akilan as if she was looking at some creature. Akilan was bleeding badly. Tears filled Akilan's eyes but he had no strength to cry. He fainted. The rich little boy who saw him faint went to his car and brought him water. But his mother scolded him and dragged him inside the temple. The priest welcomed the lady with a broad smile. He asked her, on whose name the Abishagam has to be done? The lady told that it was his son's birthday today and asked to do Abishagam on his name itself. She handed him a can of milk, honey and Panneer for Abishagam. The little rich boy was seeing what the priest was doing. He poured the milk on the statue of God and was chanting some mantras; he then poured the honey and paneer. The lady took the little boy and went round the temple. When they were about to finish the first round the little boy saw the milk coming out through a hole at the corner, the milk which was given to Abishagam. After prayers, the rich little boy along with him mother came out of the temple towards the car. The rich little boy searched for Akilan. He saw Akilan on the roadside pump drinking water. The rich little boy was annoyed of the wasted milk inside the temple and here a little boy even without a cup of pure water to drink. He asked his mother to get some milk for Akilan. But the lady dragged him to the car. He questioned his mother. When you can give so much milk to the priest why not a cup of milk to the poor boy who is in hunger? The lady told that it was for God and only then God will keep them happy. The rich little boy was not convinced with this explanation. He asked his mother to give cup of milk to the poor boy. The lady got angry and slapped her son. But the rich little boy was stubborn. He told he would not come home unless she gives cup of milk to the poor boy. The lady tried to convince him but in vain. She at last gave a cup of milk to poor boy. As Akilan drank the milk the little rich boy could see the smile, the real happiness in the face of Akilan. He smiled at his mother. His mother smiled too. She remembered the lines, “You can see God only in the smiles of poor”.

My Dream

My Dream

I had a dream
I had a dream
Dream which made me happy
Dream which made me to think!

It was dark forest
There was loneliness everywhere
The rustling of dry leaves heard
The birds were resting in nest

The hooting of owl heard
It was raining heavily
I heard a feeble voice near a cave
I went out to see the owner of the voice

I saw a young man
With hunch back
With folded hands
With bent head

I went near him
He looked at me
I asked him where he should go.
He replied - For race!!

I was surprised!
I asked him to run
He quietly looked into my eyes
He gave me a stare!!

I asked him was he lame?
He stretched his legs to me
It was fine
He was not lame

What made him not to walk?
I asked him
He told that he was put in a cave
For thousand of years

There was no light
There was no air
There was no freedom
There was no strength

He was not allowed to walk
He was not allowed to talk
He was not allowed to study
He was not allowed to express

He asked for a helping hand
I gave him mine
He walked holding my hand
He slowly gained strength

He started walking fast!
His hunch back slowly straightened
He started walking briskly
He started running
He at last won the race!!

Also when he won the race
I did not help him till the destination
I helped him in the beginning
This gave strength to finish the race

The helping hand was not given
Because I pitied him
It was act of repent
For suppressing his birthright- Freedom!!

His face shone brightly
He stood with pride and joy
He looked at people who treated him animal
Just for them to regret for their deeds!!
