CHENNAI - a role model city

Clouds burst pouring out darkness,

The thunderstorms showed it's vengeance.
The city was submerged,
But our souls cannot be engulfed.
Even when stress flooded our minds
when we had nothing to eat
Even when roaring tides masked the screams,
We knew it was all temporary
And Our hopes did not fade a bit.
For we knew the clouds will dissolve
Bringing back the smiling sun.
We witnessed oneness as the flooded rivers overflowed
Breaking down the boundaries of religion
Demolishing bridges separating rich and the poor
Helping hands arose every corner,
Mankind displayed selfless care.
We can either live through the flood or let it drown us,
We decided the former.

This poem is dedicated to all the people of chennai who went
out of their way offering a helping hand to others during the Flood.
I'm proud to say that I have spent 5 years of my college life there.
Dedicated to all CHENNAI-ITES! You guys are a role model to others.

Lost in Two Dimensions

We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

To my Dearest Grandmother....

Cultivating habits like writing a dairy is not a cake walk anymore. Atleast not in this generation where we are all drowning in the ocean of technology. Infact Ayamachi once asked me “ Mole! Ee Phone il entha ullathu? Ellavarum ithu epozhum enthina pidichu kondu nadakunnathu? . Those words hit deep and I realised we are giving more importance to this nonliving man made thing than anything else. Are we carrying the Bible the same way everywhere we go? While we jot down our “To Do Lists” Ayammachi has it memorised. There used to be a time when landphones existed in every house and when she memorised the telephone numbers of her near and dear ones. How many phone numbers can we tell by heart? She also has a “Kanaku Pusthakam” where she writes her daily expenses and calculations. She also ...
