OUR LIFE IN THIS WORLD

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   OUR LIFE IN THIS WORLD       John Keats said, "A thing of beauty is a joy FOREVER";   Consider all living beings as your NEAR and DEAR;   To discerning minds, all sounds and noises are honey-like music to HEAR;   For those who love nature, everything is HERE to ENDEAR!         The world is not just a COMPOSITION of soil, stones, water, vegetation, and the like COMBINATION;   But mountains of love and AFFECTION;   Towards each other with RECIPROCATION;   From GENERATION to GENERATION!         There is no point of SATURATION;   Co-existence will go on well with mutual COOPERATION and COORDINATION;   One need not have the feeling of ALIENATION;   Anything and everything is here for CELEBRATION;   Without any LIMITATION!         It's a boon to have been bor...

TEACHER(S)

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   TEACHER(S)       While parents are life-giving biological trees creating the next GENERATION;   Teachers lay the basic foundation in children, triggering in them fond educational ASPIRATION;   Committed teachers will not rest until they instill in students a high-level examination PREPARATION;   With ACCELERATION and increased steady study CONCENTRATION!         A mediocre teacher teaches just as a PROFESSION;   A good teacher imparts education by MOTIVATION;   But the best teacher enlightens by standing with students as a strong pillar of INSPIRATION;   Teachers collectively continue to produce knowledgeable and intellectual POSTERITY!         The teacher never grudges the student's forward MOVEMENT!   Rather, he/she celebrates students' educational DEVELOPMENT and IMPROVEMENT;   And even indulges in ...

DO / DON'T DO

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   DO  /  DON'T DO       It's basically bad to have GREED;   So don't sow the jealousy SEED;   Avoid increasing your NEED;   Convert good thought into DEED!         Live in communion with NATURE;   Which is full of green INFRASTRUCTURE;   Yes, there are many examples to CAPTURE;   And be inspired for ADVENTURE!         Show SYMPATHY and EMPATHY;   Not APATHY and ANTIPATHY;   Follow practices that are HEALTHY;   Do things that are PRAISEWORTHY!           Let's be satisfied with what we HAVE;   Better not to CRAVE;   Don't be a SLAVE,   But be SUAVE!         R.SAMPATH 4.9.2026

BICYCLE

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   BICYCLE       How can I forget the first ride on my own pride BICYCLE?   For it gave me my  most-treasured first VEHICLE;   And the much-needed transition from physically stretching the legs to pedalling, taking me to the PINNACLE of joy;   As a schoolboy, I deemed it a MIRACLE!         An almost simple CONTRAPTION,   Its mechanism was plain-sailing without COMPLICATION;   The easy CONSTRUCTION, in case of any small repair, enabled me in RESTORATION.   With PRECISION and PERFECTION;   Of course, many high-speed vehicles started hitting the roads subsequently due to mind-boggling automobile REVOLUTION!       Hail with BICYCLE even now!         R.SAMPATH 3.9.2026

SCHOOL DAYS' MEMORY LANE

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:                    SCHOOL DAYS' MEMORY LANE    As school-going children, during play times, we had no INHIBITION;   There was no self-imposed PROHIBITION;   In class, we had a common AMBITION:   We were attentive to what was taught and tried to have full IMBIBITION!         For playing, no quorum was COMPULSORY;   Response would never be ELUSORY;   We would not take in what was ILLUSORY;   In case of dispute or controversy, we would send the most intelligent among us as our EMISSARY!         Except for examinations, we had no FEAR;   Nor a big responsibility to BEAR;   Although we had prepared for it on top GEAR!   Despite healthy competition, we held one another NEAR and DEAR;         We had a strong and special BOND; ...

FLOWERS AND BUTTERFLIES

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:   FLOWERS AND BUTTERFLIES       Both are of motley, a riot of mind-blowing colours;     And jaw-dropping designs;     Both are soft creations of Mother Nature;     Flowers are humble, and butterflies are nimble;     The latter are attracted by the former for the honey;     They're a natural pair, inseparable from each other;     Both are invariably captivating and entrancing to poets;     Who never miss to relate the duo as an apt pair in their works;     The colours and admixture of colours are the pet features of cloth manufacturers along with countless designs to be printed in the female clothing, especially sarees;       Both, though they're short-lived creations, have attained an immortal/permanent place in the hearts and works of poets and the literary world at large! ...
