Oasis in the desert...
Pandemic has struck the world and it has struck very hard. All we hear these days are bad news around us. However, scorching the heat of the desert, there is always an Oasis. If Pandemic is the desert, Oasis is the art(Music, Painting, poetry, Cinema etc.,). Though many of these activities are restricted due to social distancing, desert has almost engulfed the Oasis. Musicians & Artist are trying to create at-least waterholes if not the whole Oasis using technology.
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
http://allwynanddiana.blogspot.com/2020/03/pursuit-of-happiness.html?m=1
In pursuit of happiness I immerse,
Searching for it in the distant world,
Seeking
it from within, happiness,
Happiness
peaks within young souls,
Climbing
a tree, riding a bicycle,
Catching
a butterfly, playing games,
Where
have they gone? Gone for a ride,
Lost
in laptops and mobiles,
Hiding
behind the linen robs,
Locked
inside our climate-controlled cabins,
Happiness
went missing,
No-where
to be found, to my dismay!
Too
busy to search ourselves,
Can
you teach me to be happy?
Classrooms,
webinars and seminars,
Only
the back breaks sitting hours listening,
Leaving
empty pockets, Happiness
Gone
for a ride, Happiness,
Desires
leads to sufferings,
I
left behind the desire of being happy,
At
the least suffering is avoided,
In
pursuit of happiness I immerse,
Searching
for it in the distant world,
Seeking
it from within, happiness,
The Terrace ....
http://allwynanddiana.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-terrace.html?m=1
Summer is about to end, dampness announces the monsoon,
The
climate inside the house is still hot and humid,
I
spread my bed in the terrace, to enjoy the gentle breeze,
There
I lay in the open air, gazing at the stars,
With
a bleak yellow light behind me,
The
lightning streaks meet the far away barren land,
Feels
like the sky is clicking my picture with flash light,
Followed by
a loud sound of a thunder; reminding me,
It’s
not a flash photography...
Occasionally passing
vehicles wakes up the street dogs,
Street
dogs responds with a bark,
Followed
by their friends in the next gully,
I
start to count the stars, one here and there,
I found
only a dozen but amazed with their formation,
A
sickle, A half moon, A zigzag,
While
Wondering about the polar star,
I
could feel the gentle cool breeze brushing me in the terrace,
Wondering
why the breeze refuses to flow inside,
Crickets
starts to pitch their notes;
while
a frog counters with a croak; It rained a day before,
Community
Gurkah passes-by blowing whistle,
The
Gurkah's whistle calms the crickets and the frogs,
Crickets
and frogs start again with fading whistle sound,
Shadow
of the passing cloud darkens the terrace,
I
Could hear a melody song, probably from the FM radio,
I
close my eyes for a goodnight sleep,
Early
morning dew settles down,
Do
you feel the chillness of the dew drops,
It
feels like I am in a fairy land,
Where
the cloud floats below the feet,
The
sun hesitates to rise and slowly peeps out,
Spreading out Rangoli of orange, yellow & magenta colors,
The
early bird wakes me up with its singing,
Opening
my eyes I slowly get down from the fairy land,
A
new day and a new journey has just began...

My Superman
http://allwynanddiana.blogspot.com/2019/12/my-superman.html?m=1
When
I think of hero,
Courage
is what comes to my mind,
When
someone is in midst of trouble,
He is there in the double.
Hearing
the word hero,
The
villains are equal to thousand zeroes,
But
not every hero has special costumes,
Nor
do they have wings,
Though
they have common things,
Not
like the fantasy,
But
indeed lovely.
My
hero is none like this one,
Instead
on the run, Throughout,
He
works day and night,
A
great brilliance, my father.

To win is hard.. It's even harder to win over self
I try hard to succeed, every time I push forward,
I slip backward, Success always evades,
Many told success is evasive, but I am determined,
I started chasing success day and night,
Every time I come closer, I am drained,
And success successfully evades,
Have to do something different to Succeed,
Time to think differently, Decided to
Get rid of my thinking about success and walk in my way,
Concentrate on what I know and do the best,
First time I realized success started following me,
Then, I and success are like poles repelling each other,
Success, successfully evades again,
Lazy Sunday morning I was standing on the porch having coffee,
Far away a film song floats in the air,
“Unai Arindhal Nee Unai Arindal Ulagathil poradalam”
(knowing yourself is the key to sustain in the world)
Felt light when I heard those lines, realizing
I have to win over myself,
That realization moment, gave a lot of high,
I let go my Ego’s, hard feelings, doubts, Enmity,
Domination, negativity, stereotyped nature etc...
Hurray. I Won over myself, standing beside me is success, smiling
at me,
Promising me not to leave and holding my hands tight,
I Won the fight against me finally...
There is no winner nor
loser in this fight
Its all about getting
better and better overcoming the self-imposed hurdles
Happy ending
Today is the day
http://allwynanddiana.blogspot.com/2019/02/today-is-day.html?m=1
Today is the day, start following your passion,
Today is the day, leave negativity behind,
Today is the day, start being positive,
Today is the day, start doing good deeds,
Today is the day, reach out to the downtrodden,
Today is the day, be courteous to fellow beings,
Today is the day, start spreading peace and love,
Today is the day, thank those who helped you,
Today is the day, to remember our stepping stones,
Today is the day, to be happy and joyous,
Today is the day, to bring a positive change,
Today is the day, to be yourself,
Don't wait for tomorrow, which never comes
Yesterday is gone in time,
Today is the day to act,
To have a beautiful tomorrow.

வாழ்வியல் நெறி
http://allwynanddiana.blogspot.com/2017/02/way-of-life.html?m=1
நல்லவர்களை பிழைக்க தெரியாதவன் என்றது - உலகம்
ஏமாற்றுபவர்களை புத்திசாலி என்றது- உலகம்
கயவர்களை பலசாலி என்றது - உலகம்
உனக்கும், படைதவனுக்கும் மட்டுமே தெரியம்
உண்மையான
உன்னை பற்றி
தூற்றுவோர் தூற்றட்டும், போற்றுவோர் போற்றட்டும்
நாம் கொண்ட கொள்கையே மேல் -என
கடமை,கன்னியம்,கட்டுபாடு போற்றி வாழ்வோம்
நல்லதே நினைப்போம் நன்மையே செய்வோம்
தடைகள்
ஆயிரம் தாண்டி வெற்றி பெறுவோம்
இன்று இகழும்,நாளை நம்மை கொண்டாடும்-உலகம்
வாழ்க வளமுடன்

கனவுகளை துறந்து
http://allwynanddiana.blogspot.com/2019/04/blog-post.html?m=1
பணி என்றான், முன்னேற்றம்
என்றான்,
வீடு வாங்கினான், மகிழ்வுந்து
வாங்கினான்,
கல்லூரியில் காளை போல வலம் வந்தவன்,
இன்று பூனை போல் அலுவலகத்தில்,
வருவதும் தெரியாமல்,போவதும் தெரியாமல்,
நிற்காமல் ஓடினான், மாடாய் உழைத்தான்,
குடும்பத்தை மறந்து, சொந்தங்களை துறந்து,
அறுபது வயதில் ஓய்வு பெற்று, வாழ்க்கை கனவோடு;
மகளோ அமெரிக்காவில், மகனோ இங்கிலாந்தில்,
யாருக்காக ஓடினான், காளை ஏன் பூனை ஆனது,
சிந்தனையில், தனிமையில்
தொலைத்த நாட்களை எண்ணி!!!
