The Best Medicine at no cost.........

"The old adage has been backed up by a recent study. Findings show that people with a good sense of humor and a propensity to laugh may be less likely to develop heart disease when compared to aggressive, antisocial personalities. So go ahead, laugh and make others laugh. "

Water - Drink you are thirsty or not...Drink it.....

Water the source of Life..............
"This one is almost too easy. Drinking five glasses of water a day can reduce your chances of getting a heart attack by 50%. Other fluids like juice, tea, or milk won't do it, your body needs water. Remember, water keeps your body hydrated, which allows your kidneys to function properly, your stomach to digest, it keeps your joints lubricated, your lungs breathing, your temperature warm, and your body to feel energized and alive. If your feeling lethargic or have a headache, its a good possibility that you're just dehydrated. It's your body reminding you to go get a glass of water."

Khalil Gibran on Work

"Work is love made visible
And if you cannot work with love
but only with distaste, it is better that
you should leave your work; and
sit at the gate of the temple; and
take alms of those who work with joy." -Khalil Gibran

" peace in the world"

"If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world."
~Chinese Proverb

The Devil who wanted to be and Angel......

For children who love stories..........

Once upon a time there was devil who wanted to become an Angel. He began to change himself and started to behave better than any Angel. But people did not believe his humility. One day this devil appeared among some school kids and played with them. Watching this scene the whole school jumped upon him. He was so gentle the crowed could not believe a devil could be so. They doubted if it was the same devil. But the devil said, yes I am the same devil but I I am no more devilish. I want to be an Angel and I have decided to change myself. But my appearance is giving me hard time. You people consider me as a devil only. That is why I decided to come down and show myself like any angel. Kindly believe me, the devil said. I am not devilish and I cannot be a devil any more. I want to be better than any Angel in this birth and the births here after. But the crowd could not believe his words and they attacked him with all its might and killed him. Suddenly from his dead body there rose an Angel and the Angel said, look I had the appearance of a devil and you people killed me. But I longed to be an Angel and God has recreated me as an Angel. Do you believe me? The crowd said, “ you are not a devil you are an Angel, please bless our children.”

I have a dream

I Have A Dream

I Dream of an India, my India
Sans cast, creed and religion,
I dream of an India, my India
Sans Majorities and Minorities
But only Indians, my dear Indians
A community that stands united
For India with a vision Global
Every Indian proud to say aloud
I am an Indian, yes I am an Indian
Neither Am I a Hindu, a Muslim
Neither Am I a Christian nor
Any of those hundreds of Ethnicities
I dream of an India where
Every Indian is equal and proud
To hold the Indian Flag closest to heart
And declare aloud I am an Indian
And I am proud to be so and sing
Sare Jaham se Acha Hidustan hamara hamara….

My First Day in School

My First day in school
To my belowed father late Shri K. A. Panicker

Halmlet Kovilloor was beautiful
But sans a primary school then
Charumkuzhy being the nearest one
One hour away by foot
It was raining cats and dog
Early Morning did we start
With my father brother and sister
Holding Banana leaves for umbrellas
We walked splashing water cristals
And reached the school on time
I still remember Gandhimash
Who filled the form for my admission
Father bought my first slate and pencil
And took me to Headmaster's office
Then I was led to my class room
I was weepping all the way
I ran out to search my father
But my teacher caught me on my way
And put me back to my class again...

The Expatriate

The Expatriate
For My Fellow Married Bachelors
When in burning passion felt like living together

You were away earning for our better tomorrow
Sleepless nights silent sighs and pillows wet
I longed for you and you longed for me
While our baby went on asking day by day
When would Daddy come home Mamma?
Next month next month,until you came
You were busy visiting near and dear ones
While I waited with my midnight day-dreams
We got some moments while our baby sleeping
I wept on your chest you kissed me hot
I knew you would go saying this is the last
Waiting,waiting our baby grew a lovely damsel
Our thatched house turned a marble structure
You earned more than what we needed
For good you came to live a wealthy life
But alas! Wrinkled skin and lost desires
We have no time, we lost the essence of life!
We missed the bus, You were an ExpatriateBut, alas !!!
What am I????????????/

I am in Love

Am I in Love?

Jesin, why can’t you stay back today?
You plan to go back?
I like this ambiance
Then what is that stopping you?
You know Jesin, simply I
Just cannot express it in words
When you are around here
It takes a magical turn
In the air around here
You bring in some kind of charm
No one else could bring in
That does not mean I am in love with you
But the magic you create here
Is Unique, it haunts this
Home, rather this house getting transformed
Into a home only
When you are around
What should I say?
I have been sitting here
Reading this book enjoying your aroma
Yes, Jesin you bring in a presence
Which you were given by God
That is divine something beyond words
Which transforms this abode into a home
This state is what we miss here
I am not in love with you, sure
Why not we walk a little
Let us go out for a while
This pleasant evening
Sun is going to set and this setting sun
Reflects some special warmth
Into my soul
I feel like moving with you for a while
Through this walk ways
Through this market palace
We are nobody here
No one perhaps notices us
But definitely both of us gain something
Which perhaps both of us alone
Sitting somewhere else cannot generate…
Where did you stop?
You said that was the only decision father took
Which did not conflict with my brother’s case
The girl he proposed happened to be
The girl my brother was looking for
That may be a jock from the almighty
Just think the other way round
Then my brother could have been placed in
A plane where he would have been in a fix
No he just cannot reject it
Had it been the other way round even
What is in your case?
Are you in Love with some one?
That is not the case
Then what? Imagine you have some one
And Uncle has some one else with a great
Choice any girl would envy to grab
What would you do?
The issue is
I am yet to locate some one
Or rather someone yet to come into my life
Ok. Fine I can only tell you
But these moments haunt me
Look how crowded this market place is
No one is watching us
We don’t feel like anybody around us
In this human flow
Do you find anybody around us?
Jesin, this feeling I just cannot express
Do you think I am in love with you?
Tell you the truth I am not
Then what is this force behind?
Jesin let us go back
Mom must have been waiting
Jesin look at the setting sun
Do you like that golden clouds
I love sunsets a lot
Especially over hill tops
And on oceans
I used to sit back and watch
As if in a trance
Jesin I do not find the sunset now
Though the sun is setting
This environment is
Taking me to a different plane
I did not touch you
But the hallow you spread is swallowing me…
Jesin let us walk
This tender wind is cool and warm to me
Is it so with you?
I do find this air soothing
Jesin, time runs very fast
Do you feel it?
Sure, ok, so what you do
Are you staying back?
Aunty also asked me
I wish I could stay back, that is fine
Jesin do come back another evening
And let us create another day,
I am sure
Jesin I am not
In love
But
It is a trance,,,,let me keep it……..
