HAPPY NEW YEAR

Like a beacon light from the lighthouse blinks and vanish restlessly through the silent night, years come and go with darkness and brightness till the infinity and beyond...Few who find the path moves ahead and survive whereas others dashes on the perilous rocks and succumb......

GOD'S OWN COUNTRY'S , GOD'S OWN HOUSE.....

Yesterday's visit with family to God's Own Country's, God's Own House - PONMUDI, TRIVANDRUM.....

WHO DARES WIN...????

AAP is all set to form Government in Delhi with the outside support of Congress party.....Their decision to stake claim to form the government is much debated in the media. As of now, with no sound solutions to the election promises made by party are seen in any distant future, we have to assume that their decision to form the government is just out of curiosity.

MERRY CHRISTMAS DAD....

Dear father,
Lot of kisses and Merry Christmas…..!
Yesterday, I’ve waited for you all day long though I knew you wouldn’t be able to come and join me to decorate our Christmas tree. And at last, when the final bus also gradually diminished and vanished on the culvert, my mind painfully realized that this is going to be a Christmas without you and I really felt bad. I just don’t want to celebrate it. But while guiding me back to the house, mother tried to cheer me up by telling why it is so important for us to celebrate Christmas to make you happy. She then helped me to take that beautiful glittering star of silver tinsel from my cupboard and crowned it over the top of my small Christmas tree. That was one beautiful thing I kept it for a surprise. My brother too helped me arranging the lights and winding the tinsel artfully round the trunk from top to bottom. We have then decorated the tree with a few decoration boxes I got from the fancy store nearby. Trying to hang the baubles of many colors on small hooks was really a challenging task for me. Mother helped me in putting some glittering pears and paper angels on every gap we could find in there.
But father, without you we felt we were lacking something. Alex, my friend next door and his father made a wonderful tree wrapped in red crepe paper and a lot of glittering stars. Later on, they had lighted the candles on the floor around its base and put some beautiful carols. They were laughing and dancing around the tree. It was then that the memories of our dazzling Christmas celebration a couple of years back thronged into my mind and I felt terribly sad. Again my mother’s caring hands came to my rescue. She told me that we should think of the job you are doing for the country and then I really wanted to tell you how very proud we felt of you.
Father, when the decorations were finished, I checked the tree from all sides and I found the stars were dull and the whole tree was appallingly blurred. I wonder why it’s so hazy. It was only when my mother came near me, gave a tender peck on my cheek and wipes away the tears in my eyes that I realized how artfully we adorned the tree. It was so beautifully made beyond explanation.
After dinner, I went to bed and no sooner did I fall asleep than I started dreaming about a loving Santa Claus dressed in red fur from head to foot coming down from the sky in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. His head and beard were as white as snow. He had a bundle of toys flung on his back. As dry leaves danced in air and clouds formed obscure images in the heights of the sky, he came down the chimney and sat upon my bed side. I could saw the glee in his eyes. Tapping gently on my cheek, he whispered in a subtle voice, “ Son, your Christmas tree is awesomely beautiful…I liked it…” he then smiled cheerfully at me. But I couldn’t stop crying. When he saw tears flowing down my cheek, he wiped it away and hugged me tight. With trembling voice I said to him, “No feat is too difficult for you papa… you can do anything. I have an appeal to you.”
With that gleeful smile still intact on his lips, he asked, “What do you want my little child?” I said, “I don’t want anything. I know you are virtually omnipresent. You can go anywhere. Could you please take the Christmas tree that I made for my father and show it to him and convey my heartfelt wishes and say how much I love him?
He then hugged me tight and patted on my back. I could hear him telling me in a delicate voice, “Don’t worry my child, I will do it for you. I will fulfill your dearest desire…”
He went out and I pursued him. In a flash he took the Christmas tree in the palm of his hand and jumped into his sleigh, he laughed euphorically and waved his hand towards me. I waved back. He then soon ascended above the heights of the cloud. Yes father, after a while I saw you too. Santa was talking to you. In his hand was my lovely Christmas tree. Today in the morning I jumped out of my bed and ran to see what had happened to my tree. Yes it was there. But I’am not sad. In fact I’am so happy for that I could see you in dreams. I love you dad and I’am proud of you. May the god keep you safe and secure in his arms.
Your loving son……

P.S:- Wrote this story when I found that I could not join my sons during this Christmas as my leave application was not sanctioned due to operational reasons. I thought about those several armed forces men and their loved ones back at home waiting for a few moments of joy.......Here in armed forces it's the priority that matters......Happy Christmas to all those who could not make it this time.....Hallelujah....  

ROSE IN MY OFFICE TABLE.....

Walked into my office this morning, I found this beautiful flower placed on the center of my table. Absolutely fascinated, my mind just got blown....! As colorful thoughts overwhelmed within me, those half forgotten dreams have started thronging to my mind like smooth serene ocean waves....! No sooner had the waves started massaging my otherwise turbulent mind, than my runner came in and said ....Sir, this is one leftover flower I got from the conference hall... " looked up at him with the kind of expression that the leaders in Delhi have on their faces now a days, I said to him..." Look dear,. ..., For everything under the sun, there is a place and for every event there is a time.....! " Standing outside the office, he is still pondering over this mischievous quote....!

A BEAMER GOING FOR A SIX- UMPIRE'S SIGNAL...?

This is what I've posted in my facebook profile update yesterday....I'am still waiting for an answer.....!!!!! 

"I asked a question yesterday regarding the fair signal by an umpire in the event of a fast bowler throws a beamer that goes past the batsman, the wicket keeper and going over the fence for a Six. It's been almost 15 hours and I haven't gotten an answer yet. So I hope it's one really stupid question with no specific answer..right? I don't even know whether it had happened before but a maverick bowler in the likes of Akthar or Malinga with such powerful shoulders and slinga round arm action, throwing a ball to a horizontal distance of 80-90 meters with an angle of elevation equal to 45 degrees is quite possible with an extra bit of back bending. May be my cricket crazy St.Marian friends could throw some light on this subject....Where are you guys...".

ELECTION SYMBOL FOR NONE OF THE ABOVE

The most appropriate Election Symbol for " None of the above- NOTA.." is GINGER...!

Now that , the “None of the above-NOTA” option will remain a symbolic one as per the circular issued by the Election Commission a couple of days ago, voters are now confused as to why such an option at all?” As per the circular, even if the NOTA received maximum number of votes, the candidate with the second highest number of votes will be declared elected in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled to be conducted later this year.  So “NOTA” is now just an option for the voters to express their displeasure and angry without any serious consequences at all. This remains me of the famous saying in Malayalam: “ Inji Kadicha Korangane Pole”  which means , “Like the facial expression of a monkey who bite GINGER” similar to the English phrase, “ bitter pill expression.” …Here it is…..Now that the Election Commission is yet to take a decision on the election symbol for the “ None of the above “ option, I personally feel a “piece of GINGER”  would be the best and meaningful option. A symbol that would best fit the facial expression of poor voters who after spending hours in queue under scorching heat, comes out of the polling booth after putting their vote for NOTA. It’s not my fault if your evil mind is exceptionally over enthusiastic and sees something dirty.

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY

DAKSHINADHUNIKAM...

Underneath the whimsical blue skylines, 

onto the eternal paths of blissful twilight.

hath he walked away

In the sublime pleasure of tendu-stick

were the Wolf's belly and Warsteady.

Shred apart the breast of "SprungFurrow",

dost the sanguinarian impregnable, drank blood.

The flute adorned divinity had a nasty flu that day.

The temple lamps whence cast a golden glow in

the gloaming, she besought him...

" Shalt thou come this way by

droving the pachyderms...? "
