Allwyn's Blog- The Journey

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.   In one such attempt I am sharing or compiling the Poetry(no where near to any poem) published earlier in my blog. Its only capturing of the feeling at that point of time. Enjoy reading...

Happiness is a positive state of mind or a emotional feeling which is pleasant. Happiness is around us as well as within us. Rich and poor are in pursuit of happiness, Young and the old are in pursuit of happiness, Intellectuals and the weak are also in pursuit of happiness. Happiness exist for a certain period of time eventually returning back to normal. The pursuit of happiness is continuous. We seek happiness every passing day, every passing minute and every passing second. Laughter brings happiness, helping brings happiness, games brings happiness, art, music dance, jokes etc.. etc.. brings in happiness. The real happiness lies within.  In the modern age there is shortage of laughter as we are struck in our air conditioned cabins for the whole day. At the end of the day we are socially inactive, we meet friends and relatives rarely and live muted. Emotions are suppressed while we try to learn happiness by attending wellness classes. This is a cry of the emp...

Everyone in the world knows a superhero in their life. Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Ironman etc.. etc.. Like everyone, my daughter also has a superhero... Let’s see how she describes the superhero and find out who is that superhero..  Before reading a huge round of applause for the poet inside my daughter... she believes she knows a superhero... Special thanks to my daughter’s English teacher, who insisted that the activity to be done as a poem. My Superman 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.           ...

In olden days men use to sleep outside the house and women use to sleep inside the house. There are two reasons; one is to guard the house... Two to escape the sultry tropical climate.. Now a days we sleep inside a locked room with climate control - I mean airconditioners... Though nowadays we Can't sleep outside,  still we can enjoy the terrace.. Vertical living could be a hurdle but give it a try atleast once... Read remaining of the post in a husky bedtime story voice... You will love it.... The Terrace .... 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 flas...

ஒவ்வொரு சராசரி இந்தியனும் தன்னுடய கனவுகளை துறந்து, ஒரு சராசரி வாழ்க்கை வாழும் நிலைக்கு தள்ளபடுகிறான். அப்படி ஒரு சராசரி இந்தியனை பற்றி ஒரு சில வரிகள் 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!!! In this modern work we are forced to live an average life where the priorities has been to become a professional, get a monthly salaried job, live a budgeted life till the retirement. This trend has been more or less the same in most part of the world. Following the passion is shelved in pursuit of a guaranteed monthly income and live a middle class life. To be in a g...

  I found a caption on my colleagues t-shirt "Today is the day" which was very catchy. When the conversation continued, he asked me to write about the canvas caption. The caption sounded poetic so a few lines about "Today is the day". It's human psychology that we get struck in the past or worry about  the future.  We usually forget to cherish about today. Start today, Don't Procrastinate... Tomorrow  never comes...  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 down trodden, 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, Tod...

It's a narrative prose on how a win on yourself which will pave the way for success. The most difficult personality to control, is thyself. Self-discipline keeps you focused on the goal. Enjoyed a lot while writing this and had a sense of accomplishment after completing. Hope this post will have positive effects on readers. 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 standin...

This post comes as a short Tamil poetry, written in my tea break during a busy day of work. Hope it expresses the jest of my thoughts.. My first attempt வாழ்வியல் நெறி 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 Picture courtesy: Honorable Mr. Internet Feel Free to share and comment on this article....Do follow my blog  and like us in Facebook  @blogthejourney   page and keep updated of the latest article posted in the blog.
