SCHOOLDAYS

 

FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 



SCHOOLDAYS

 

 

Had no WORRY;

 

Woke up daily as a fully charged BATTERY;

 

Never felt SORRY;

 

Fond of hearing STORY;

 

Lot of books and notes to CARRY;

 

Some routines were DRUDGERY;

 

No SALARY, yet a lot of  GLORY;

 

Daily burnt many a CALORY,

 

Attempted BRAVERY and DEVILRY;

 

But mostly landed in a mere FAKERY;

 

With friends, maintained a good CHEMISTRY;

 

Boring subject was HISTORY;

 

Friendships were EXTRAORDINARY;

 

School life was always GLIMMERY and GLITTERY!

 

At times, we had sessions of MIMICRY;

 

Play and more play, and fun-making dominated our ITINERARY;

 

Bonding with each other was stronger like a mountain, and IVORY;

 

On the constructive side, group studies were MANDATORY;

 

Peer tutoring was eagerly VOLUNTARY;

 

Knowledge-sharing was EXEMPLARY;

 

Toward examination times, bright and updated classmates/schoolmates would,  in a nice gesture, make revisions for others COMPULSORY and  REGULATORY;

 

Even as we played, we always built a knowledge FACTORY;

 

All to make everyone pass and sail safe in the boat of VICTORY!

FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!

From Sampath’s Desk :     FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!     The concept of ‘philosophy’ used here is about the empirical aspects of life such as - how to find joy and happiness generally and to keep ourselves cool and unperturbed, clothed with feathers of positive philosophy in the face of ordeals and distress. Again, on the one side, it is about feeling self-joy, and on the other, a solace-seeking exercise during trials and tribulations. Some tips have been attempted here.   If you happen to be rich in wealth and affluent, think that God has given you the extra wealth and money for helping others. The best way to find joy and happiness is to make others happy by charity without expecting anything in return much less gratitude. It is only the possessor of wealth who should be actually grateful to God for providing him/her the opportunity to help the needy. It is of course easier said than done, but the real joy lies in giving and in going to the succo...

  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:       THIRUMURUGA KRIPANANDA VARIYAR திருமுருக கிருபானந்த வாரியார் (25 August 1906 - 7 November 1993)   THIRUMURUGA KRIPANANDA VARIYAR was born on 25.8.1906 in Kangeyanallur near Vellore, Tamil Nadu.   He sowed divinity in the minds of the common man and words contemplated upon were humorously conveyed by him so as to grip the minds of his audience. He was affectionately and reverently called VARIYAR SWAMIGAL by people.   He had no formal education. However, he was brought up by his father himself at home giving him core divine knowledge and wisdom. Swamigal learned Tamil literature, grammar, and music, especially playing Veena. At age 8 itself, he had to his credit many poems in ‘Venba’ style. By age 12, he learned by heart at least 10000 hymns, mostly devotional numbers.   During my boyhood days in Triplicane, I used to go to his divine and spiritual discourses. Tamil language and devotional hymns...

  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK: TONGUE TWISTER LITY and RITY Galore INTERNATIONAL TONGUE TWISTER DAY is observed on the second Sunday of November each year     Individuality is normality; But, humility is a speciality; Potentiality nourishes one’s personality; But, assertibility is adorability!     Mediocrity is mostly the regularity: But, celerity is necessarily spectacularity; Dexterity is an adventurist supplementarity; Familiarity begets familiarity!     Amenability doesn’t mean debility; Nor amicability, fragility; A gility is our ability; Efficiency is our capability!   Sincerity and integrity should be one’s priority; All right priorities point to your high maturity;   Kindness and charity speak of your superiority; None can overtake your popularity!     ‘May happen’ is only a probability; ‘Yes, will happen’ is a sure possibility beyond questionability; A bright future is i...
