என் இதயக்குமுறல்

என் இதயம் உரத்த சத்தமாய் கதரும்போதேல்லாம்

அதை ஆறுதல் செய்யமுடியாமல்

அதை விட சத்தமாய்

இசையை ஒலிக்கச் செய்கிறேன்

Sun on West & Moon on East!! What a World I Live in!!

Today there was a problem with the pipeline and myself and dad went to check that at the top which has a iron ladder that seems so critical to climb on, I'm usually terribly afraid of heights. I climbed in company with my dad, he like a young man climbed below me to catch me if I fall. I was climbing and shaking while going at top, then we went up, he did something, I did something, then the water in the pipeline somehow managed to flow. While doing those experiments with that, I watched the sun and moon together, it was 5.15pm. The sun was in west like an orange ball with orange and pink coloured sky, almost a full moon was in east like a white ball in pale blue sky. It was awesome to see the beauty of nature after months of darkness in my life. It brings an escape from the world we live in.

Dad and I share same interest and we stayed there for a little while. After encountering the problem we came down. This time I started down first dad pulled me saying wait else I wouldn't be there to catch you if you fall.... how lovely 'That's my Dad's love' but I'm still to be blamed that I haven't done anything to his happiness. I forcefully started to climb down saying this time I'll catch you if you fall. Now I climbed down without any fear. Dad asked how was that. I answered, "If I fear for the first time, I'm a normal person, If I fear for the second time in the same matter I have done, I'm a coward". Dad exclaimed, "oh what a theory!". We left the entire world and came down to get into the 4 walls back :)

3rd April 2012

After a long series of hard days, collapsed mind and messed life, this day was one smile from God. I woke up early in the morning though I didn't have a good night's sleep, I still felt tired in body and soul, I turned on spiritual songs after a long time to get a peace of mind, after fb and its games, I lay back in bed with some thoughts in mind. Soon after I got up and came to hall & sitting & scratching my eyebrow thinking of something. I ate my morning breakfast after one week. I lay back in bed with some thoughts and slept. 

At 1pm my mom woke me up, when I opened my eyes I saw my dad lying next to me and mom sitting next to me saying that's why you should choose morning session for your class. I woke up took bath and started to class. I have no hope nor any way I just started with my new black helmet which weighs more than my head, I rode bike with many thoughts at mind so confused and completely messed up in life. After crossing certain streets I found myself not only lost in thoughts but also in way, I saw to my left where I was riding and found exactly the street I have to turn, I pressed my break and turned and rode to see my class. 

Parked my vehicle out and walked in to see the owner and his wife standing out, I walked in looking at them, looking me they walked back to their table. I walked in and said 'I want to join the class, yesterday myself and my dad came to inquire about it'. She said, 'Oh is that'. After their few words of hope I registered my name there. She asked me to come in and asked her husband to give me the books. He said 'wait please I'll finish this to other students and come'. I said 'sure' and came back to my seat at reception. Both came then and He said 'you are not Preeti, but my cousin daughter exactly looks like you, very exactly, I came to ask are you Preeti, but you are not'. I smiled back. Then he had my books at his hands and leaned to me, I stood up and received, as I kept my hands in it, he said, 'We shall pray ma'. I didn't expect such a wonder there. I was a mess, I was broken, lost in hope entirely unlived, but his prayer was with words of comfort and hope, 'I give this daughter in your hands, take care of her life and her future'. I'm not sure about the promise of what he asked but I loved and deeply touched by a stranger's care on me. Till then I was completely messed up but this happening remembered me that God is with me even if I'm messed up so badly.

வேரை அறுத்தாலும்..

சேற்றுத் தண்ணீரில் 

மலரும் சிவப்பு தாமரைகள்

சேறு மணப்பதில்லை

பூவின் ஜீவன் மணக்கிறது

வேரை அறுத்தாலும் 

மரங்கள் வெறுப்பை உமிழ்வதில்லை

அறுத்த நதியின் மேல்

மரங்கள் ஆனந்த பூச்சொரியும்

A Lesson In Swimming Class

There was a beautiful girl in the apartment who teaches swimming for the little girls in the apartment. She was asked to teach swimming to all the little girls by the old gentle man who was retired from Army, he specifically wanted her to teach the little kids as she is more loving, kind, patient, teaches well and cared beyond money. It was another Saturday when she was pulled to apartment's private swimming pool by Preeti, a little girl who is right above her flat who loves her more than a teacher.

As they all gathered she started to teach her next lesson Inverted Butterfly Backstroke. She enjoys swimming as much as she does breathing esp she loves the backstrokes. She explains her students how much they can enjoy their backstrokes and the steps they have to take in mind to make themselves sink into the ecstasy of swimming. She beautifully dived in the pool and made her inverted butterfly backstroke and her explanations for her students to learn. Now she climbed up and asked the girls to come by as they were all already standing in line, first came Neha, she said Neha, jump in. The little girl dived in and does her part right. She never stands in when her students are doing what they were taught for she wanted them to learn by themselves to make it right. Second came Preeti, she said, Preeti jump. Preeti jumped and did her part right. 

Third came Madhu, she said Madhu, jump in. Madhu hesitated. She well knew Madhu's character, Madhu was a little shy and modest brought up girl, she never jumps into anything by her voluntarily and hesitates every start. She called Madhu in a bold voice and said her, "Madhu, don't be afraid of anything. First make yourself ready not to get hurt and jump in to any work you wanted to." 

Madhu blinked, she said "I'll teach you how. Now I'll say what you did, you stood with doubts that it can be tough for you, what if you fell, what if you drown, what if you can't stroke well and started to sink. All these things are your doubts and fears. First stand straight, deep breath, draw in your mind what you have to do to achieve that, now calculate your risks, get yourself ready not to get hurt and now put your best effort to succeed and never think of any other thing. Remember if you really wanted to do something, get ready not to get hurt and dare to do it else you never will." 

Madhu now understood and stood ready to jump, before jumping she looked at her teacher smiled at her for her wonderful lesson that she might use it for all in her life.
