WINDOW - ஜன்னல், சாளரம் - खिड़की, झरोखा

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK;     WINDOW - ஜன்னல் , சாளரம்  -  खिड़की , झरोखा       Windows are the gateway for entry of air, light, and heat, INSIDE;   Besides helping you watch the world OUTSIDE;   It’s not just to look at the goings-on in our vicinity ALONGSIDE;   Nearby buildings, passing traffic, local greenery, and the community activities - in short, your immediate NEIGHBOURHOOD; It arrests your sagging MOOD,   Offering you peace of MIND;    It could even be an open balcony, PROTRUDED;   Or a contiguous extension duly PROTECTED;   Or a sit-in with an aesthetic architecture - partly COVERED and partly UNCOVERED;   The murmuration of BIRDS, whichever that FLUTTERED and CHIRPED!   Last but not least, windows include that in vehicles too -  trains, buses, and the like - which may take you by WONDER!   R.SAMPATH 16.7.2026

STREET VENDORS

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   STREET VENDORS     Street peddlers with headloads, moving their carts, and/or riding on tricycles in lanes and bylanes, are a special LOT;   Whether it is rainy, cold, or HOT -   They are there THROUGHOUT;   They certainly deserve sympathy and SUPPORT;   For a hand-to-mouth existence they seek to eke OUT;   They're not for a big financial TURNOUT!           They don't have any GREED;   Neither do they eye for a great TRADE;   Nor a rich life to LEAD;   Just help him earn his daily BREAD;   By your patronage, they would stand in a good STEAD!         R.SAMPATH 15.7.2026

GOOD VIRTUES

Image
FROM SAMPATH’S DESK: GOOD VIRTUES     None is born GREAT;   It's the quantum of SWEAT   You let out that decides the FEAT;   Avoiding DEFEAT;   Making your mood UPBEAT!       INDUSTRIOUSNESS should be the WATCHWORD;   KINDNESS the constant BUZZWORD;   LAZINESS is bad; don't bend BACKWARD;   RIGHTEOUSNESS is a good trait; keep your targets UPWARD;   HARMONIOUSNESS helps;  always surge FORWARD!       R.SAMPATH 8.7.2026

BICYCLE

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   BICYCLE     A bicycle is almost within everyone's REACH;   It has a life lesson to TEACH;   If you operate, it runs; and if it's stopped, you lose BALANCE;   And it altogether stops its PERFORMANCE!         Don't miss to have your eyes on the BRAKE;   Otherwise, you will have some targets to BREAK;   It's a simple and cheap mode of TRANSPORT;   That helps you move to desired destinations with COMFORT and SUPPORT!         It's a poor man's CAR;   One can slowly and steadily go any FAR!   Why then WORRY;   Be FREE!         R.SAMPATH 6.7.2026

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:       CHILDREN PLAYING IN STREETS A REVISIT TO THE MEMORY LANE!       For children, while the second home is school, the third home is the STREET;   More often, they set their feet on it;   Noisy scenes of children at play are an aural and visual TREAT;   They considered their sweat as SWEET;   Their friendship became CONCRETE!         They learned all life ARTS;   Like teamwork, cooperation, coordination, adjustments, accommodative gestures, taking victory and defeat alike, and, above all, how to steal HEARTS;   Besides designing lifestyle smart CHARTS;   Some developed into STALWARTS!         Many became owners of rare TALENTS;   A few skill GIANTS;   On select FRONTS;   Resolved to go to the rescue of the needy's REQUIREMENTS!         ...

REALITIES OF LIFE

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   REALITIES OF LIFE     Whatever is your NAME -   You must win in life GAME;   That can only earn FAME;   If you do that, it will be AWESOME!       EXISTENCE isn't a cakewalk;   SUBSISTENCE and sustenance can't be achieved without overcoming challenges;   COMPETENCE presupposes warding off cutthroat competition;   CONSISTENCE helps sail safely;   PERSISTENCE is the apt vehicle to your destination!       Success isn't a matter of RIGHT;   You can’t accomplish it by just showing your MIGHT;   It can’t be BOUGHT;   Nor is it a ball to be CAUGHT;   Reasoning out your failure is only an AFTERTHOUGHT!       CAPABILITY matters rather than personality;   RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY are the keys;   INDEFATIGABILITY begets INCREDIBILITY;   INVINCI...

DATA / STATISTICS

  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   DATA / STATISTICS       What's there in NUMBERS?   They represent facts that burn in the EMBERS,   Helping the PROBERS;   To be kept in your official CHAMBERS?         Is it a real or paper TIGER?   People are very EAGER   To know whether it's a game CHANGER?   Or is it capable of forewarning, wherever necessary, of an impending DANGER or DAMAGER?   Or the state of things heralds a good HARBINGER?       R.SAMPATH 29.6.2026
