T is for Tales of Eternal Romance



I fondly remember our childhood days when my mother used to sing melodiously the Tamil song "Theeratha-vilayattu-pillai" in which the famous poet Bharathiyar imagines himself to be the Lady Love and Lord Krishna to be the lover.


In that innocent age, I could feel the presence of Lord Krishna at home and bask in the eternal blessings. Soul captured, I would love to repeat those lines again and again and marvel at the bliss that filled our home with happiness.

I have given the link where you can read the translation of the tamil poem. The English translation may help you to understand what the poem is about, but listening to this melodious song will help any listener to enjoy the bliss of being one with Lord Krishna.


I grew up into a girl who was a staunch lover of Lord Krishna, which helped me to write love poems in both Tamil and English that emphasized pure love with eternal bliss.

E is for Everything is Good

Now also I remember those words my mother kept on repeating: Good thoughts, Good action, Good people These are the three things we must always wish to have with us. It is always a blessing to live with good people, who have good thoughts and who always shun bad and do only good to others. Whatever challenges you face in your life, good deeds, good thoughts and good people always come to your rescue. The vibrant positive energy will always be there around you and help you to be good at any circumstance in your life. I remember the comment once I received from an elderly person: "Too good to believe" In this materialistic world when people wish to have a comfortable life at all levels what I tell may sound weird. But my experience has taught me always wish good and that will invite good things to you. Lesson learned: Be good always to bring in good tidings at your side.

J is for Jotting Electronically....

What are the perils of jotting down your thoughts using a computer?  Is it safer to save your thoughts electronically rather than on paper?  Decades ago, I wrote down my thoughts on paper.  They are still safe with me.  Though the papers are crumbling, my moments are recorded with the touch of my hand. Writing on paper, you can leave your imprint on words along with the size and shape of the letters.  It is truly an experience, if I happen to read a letter written by my grand-father more than fifty years ago. Words on paper bring your loved ones to you brimming with life and energy.  It is something emotional to quote! Recently, when my computer crashed, I lost my valuable data that I maintained for ten years. Now we have the cloud facility to save whatever we write in umpteen number of places, still our data may not be safe. Technologically we may be advanced. But when those electronic equipment act weird, everything turns into e-waste ...

C is for Challenging Travels

A bright sunny day brings all the cheers. But hot scorching heat rays of sun make everyone perspire and curse the fate of being out on a day like that. Whatever it may be, I have to board a bus even on a warm, sunny morning. While traveling inside a crowded bus in Chennai on a hot morning is hell in disguise. During peak hours there will not be any vacant seats and you must learn to stand and balance your posture whenever the bus takes a curve. Unknowingly you might have stamped on the feet of a person nearby; some people may be kind enough to accept your 'excuse me' apologies.  Sometimes if it happens with a person who thinks you have rubbed on the wrong side, volcanic explosion of chaste words will occur. You may blush in embarrassment but she may not want to stop until you responded her. So far, the lesson you have learnt tells you to keep your mouth shut and not utter a single word even though you might be hearing filthy words doubled with an...
