Sound of Music

I twist & turn
and roll & curl

Close my eyes, I try to keep

yet am unable to sleep

your continuous snore

is like a grand roar

left with no choice

I try to rejoice

& think of the thundering sound

as a sweet lullaby from you to me !

Family

My family, my treasure
Being with them gives me pleasure

Happiness they give me

Is seen in my eyes that gleam

Sadness they give me

Is seen in my eyes of stream

Nothing but a loving family is what I wanted

Thank you God for that is what you have granted

 

Related & how !!!???

They say blood is thicker than water
But to me that does not matter

Whether or not I am a blood relation

Whatever for you are my action

Is straight from the heart
Bcoz to me you are not apart

Mother

Selfless & unconditional love
That is unseen & unsung

She will never let you down
But will ever cheer you up
                                                      
Yet she is taken for granted & being used
But even silly act of yours makes her amused

Ever ready to shower her warmth

Never minds in return to get your wrath

Whatever you enjoy doing makes her proud

Sacrifice & prayers for you is what she has vowed

Eternal is the maternal love

My special friend

She is a special child of God – my unique friend Padma (friendship of around 3 years).

My weekly visit to her house to spend some time with her has been infrequent for the past few months.  Though she does not know the date/days of the week, surprisingly, every Saturday, she eagerly waits for me and pesters her Mother to telephone to me.  The half hour that I spend with her gives her unbounded happiness which in turn gives me an immensely satisfied feeling.

Being spastic and with various health problems, very poor eye sight, severe speech impairment, and old parents, she does not have any qualms, worries, stress, etc., etc., (unlike us when we are many times unhappy for nothing) – ignorance is bliss.

Pigeon with chicken pox

On a Sunday, a couple of months ago, Anand found a pigeon near our house which was not moving even when the car was nearing it.  Anand realized that it must have been hurt & we decided to take it to Blue Cross.  Next moment we were on our way to Blue Cross, Velachery. (our second trip to Blue Cross – first one was when we found the Kingfisher bird).  

The pigeon was sitting quietly in Pavithra’s hand.  It looked ill with some boils on its beak & body.  The caretaker in Blue Cross said that the Pigeon suffered from Chicken Pox & that they will treat it.  We hope that this little bird is healthy now.

Chennai/Salem Train
Salem/Yercaud one hour by road

Not much sightseeing places in Yercaud when compared to Ooty or Kodaikanal – there are the usual lake with boating facilities and view points. But one place which is worth the visit is Kiliyur water falls – need to walk for almost a kilometer to reach the falls.

Had a good time with the whole gang in Yercaud.

True to its name, Sterling Resort looks as if it is perched on a rock – wonderful views from the resort.
I have decided to go once again to Yercaud just to spend time in the resort & relax.

Travel to Yercaud from Chennai is also easy with convenient trains from Chennai to Salem & just an hour’s drive from Salem to Yercaud.
