An Everyday Affair

As I resume blogging...

It was part of a routine summer
When the noise of the beggar
Passed through the streets of love
And fell on the cooing lonesome dove
As the wanderer rests in place
The dove flies restlessly in space
One ponders about the shifting fate
The other waits for the beloved mate
Is there a place of eternal bliss
Or was that the last gaze of goodbye kiss!
The church bells ring from far
As the sky welcomes the night star
The beggar looks ecstatic in the dark
And the dove radiates a glowing spark
It was their everyday affair with the moon
And the two felt abundant with the boon
They rejoiced at the sight
And rested through the night...


Happy Pongal To Everyone!!!

AVADHANAM

He not only answered the questions beautifully but they were also filled with ideas, knowledge from the vedas and the mythological stories, his own life experiences, and last but never the least his timing of humor was incredible. The eight pru...

Yawn… Yawn…Yawn...

Yawning at all inappropriate times!!! Is yawning considered a sign of boredom? Does it happen out of exhaustion? I am not sure, but yawning in the class is something I cannot resist. Sometimes it happens and the guy at the far end smiles with sympathetic eyes, probably thinking I am sleep deprived. Other occasions, my bench mate and I enjoy it with almost silent giggles. We proudly take turns yawning. Then there are those unfriendly looks from students saying, "Why don't you concentrate in the class?" I admire those who yawn in the class without much botheration and think it is some kind of class activity. While some classes are very interactive, I seldom speak in other classes. Proven to be contagious by psychological theories, it is good to see your fellow class mates yawning. The most inappropriate time is when the instructor catches you yawning and the most hilarious moment is when you catch your instructor yawning. I thank them for being a source of inspiratio...

An Ode to Bloggers

Your musings or soulful depictions Short melodies and science fictions Element of love in your verse Or thoughtless question that's terse I owe this ode to BWG Your endless swearing or equations Some videos amidst the chaos Some puzzles and some reviews A different view that sizzles I owe this ode to Mitti and Sarsiz Your ramblings and signboards, Offerings striking all right chords With a unique sophisticated diction Abstract thoughts told with conviction I owe this ode to Sleepyface, Njugu and The Freak. (Guys N Gals: Hope you like it)
