Shadow

Shadow!

"Tree not only gives shadow to shelter..but it extends to luxury shelter"

My office is not that far from where I stay. So I decided to walk and reach office instead of spending half my time on the traffic. As I started walking in the sunlight, the heat is unbearable. Badly I want to hide myself into a big shadow.. No Luck..! All shadows are just like me. I decided to take shelter on the shadow that quite same size of me and successfully overlapped my shadow to another one. But slowly the shadow direction changes to another side. Again my shadow and me in search of other shadow.. 

I noticed a giant shadow in a far way.  Happily I ran and placed myself. Looked up to see the owner of the shadow. It is a glass building like my office. The glasses are teasing my eyes and I could not look further. I stood there for a second and waited for a cool breeze or just a wind to get a relief.  No luck, there is no breeze nor the feeling of standing under a shadow. Only thing happened is my shadow disappeared. There is no relief from sweat and the burning sensation. Still 3 Km walk is pending and I am exhausted already. The past hunts!! Repayment is in present.  

The past...

When I was school kid, I plucked and spoiled the trees which were planted by Vani and other school mates. Vani, the school topper. 

I was compared against her for everything and for my luck we even share the same birthdate. One of the birthday celebration, she gifted plants to everyone instead of candies and asked everyone to plant it near by school. Everyone was impressed and it was her day again. I was standing there with my candies. Not even single noticed my candies and wished me on my special day. I got angry on her for being in the spotlight and for spoling my celebration. So, I plucked all the plants and thrown them because those were hers. 

Next day when school principal and she realized that, I did pluck, they were devasted and advised me that what i did was wrong and one day I would realize the value of trees/plants.

Looks like, today the words are echoing in the glass building..Quickly I decided, for this year birthday I will plant trees around my office and nearby surrounding..

Kanni Maadam

Kanni Maadam- Book Review.. First of all, writing the pure Tamizh names to echo the same is really tough.. However here is my take.. I must appreciate the writer for writing it so lengthy. Even though in few places the description of the situation is dragging, but is not failing to impress neither it is hurts the story line.. The storyline, takes back to the world of king and war! Once upon a time, Tamilnadu was open to dangerous. Everyone wants to rule it because of the wealth or someone gave them space to stay! The story revolves around Madurai and Nellai. During that time, the primary rulers were Pandiyas  (Madurai) and Cholas (Nellai). During the thayathi war, Parakrama pandya was killed by Kulasekhara Pandiya. Before dying, he sought help from Illangarapuran to fight with Kulasekaran. Illllangarapuran defeated Kulasekara Pandyan and made Veerapandiyan as king i.e Parakirama Pandya’s son. So it become like a joke i.e I am wearing a shirt but it is not mine.. or in same line...

Untold!

Secret🤐 A key to success or failure or a twist. A burden one willing to carry for a lifelong. A person tells to  a friend and ask to keep it as secret. Do you think it is secret? When it is known to more than one person, it is no more a secret! Right?👭 Today we are going to look at the secrets that one hold tight to themselves .
