A Poem with a Message.....

I was trying to clean up the folders in my pc, when I bumped into this one written by Dhanesh , way back in 2003! Short, it conveys a good message, just a share!

THE BAIT
She comes with a murky
smile smoldering even 
the coolest one;
impassioning with
the hottest smooch
but smothering the
deepest thread.

The holder often
enthralls with pride
while she starts
her work on
the hand,
later jigging
the spirit of the
mind.

But it may be 
too late to retrieve 
as her passions 
obtrude to reign 
while she, the
cigarette would 
have devoured
your lungs.

I don't need words to tell you how much you mean to me
And, you don't need those words to comprehend what I feel!
That has been the greatest gift ever!
They say,
Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad!
How beautifully you proved it to Us!
Holding us, while we cried,
Helping us, when we stumbled,
Scolding us, when we broke the rules,
Pouring confidence into us, when we needed it,
Beaming with happiness at our winnings
And,
By pulling us up at every step we fell!
And for me, most of all,
For giving me all the freedom in the world,
For developing my attitudes towards life,
For lifting my spirits ,
Just with the word "Makkalllllle"
Every time I need it!
You are the best ever!
A very happy Fathers' Day Acha!

If I let my mind wander, what would it fetch me? Would it deceive me? Let me try it out!

A fairly good week, but only in the work zone!

Just five days of the new academic year flew by! I have a new batch of students this year, I enjoyed my time in their class and it seems to have taken off quite well! No obstacle came my way, I am as happy as ever with my students! They energize me!

Yet, something has been buckling me. I am kinda amazed/shocked by my stream of thoughts – stretching from plain realities to painful realizations! Sometimes, it is like they are waging a silent war with me! There are so many pointless questions for which no one could ever give answers!

Anyway, the weekend is here and all I can say is “RELAX”!

Gud One!

Just came across this one, thought it would be worth sharing!

Saturday...

After a long long time, I suddenly felt a strong desire to blog! The first thing I did was to give it a facelift! The school is reopening on Monday and my little one is tooooooooooooo excited about it! He had been pestering me for an outing for quite sometime and today I felt I would oblige. But, today as he was waiting for a parcel from Pappus, he didn’t really wish to go out. I had to make arrangements with the thatha- patty(our good neighbours) for the same. In fact, I never had any specific plans for today, just thought it would be another lazy Saturday! Whatever be the case, it turned out to be a fruitful day, as many of the pending works were successfully done with.

A drive through the Pondy Streets..after a long time...

A 5 minutes drop-in at the beach....

We started out with the Aadhar card application, and then went straight to the bank. Mr. Sun was quite severe, but we did make it to the seaside too. Lunch at Abhirami was just too good!

Waiting for the food was made easy with this...

Abhirami Rocks...

So after a hot hot day, we were back home around 2.30, only to find our Patty waiting for Gauri, with the parcel!!!!!!!! Needless to mention, he was too excited! 

Finally ....after a long week's wait ....it is here.....

Coming back to my thoughts, I guess it is time to recharge my batteries which are terribly down, a brand new academic year is right here! At least, my students may need the enthusiastic teacher in ME! I hope all the dullness just flies away and I am back to my cheerful/crazy self sooooooon…….
