SIBLINGS

 FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 




SIBLINGS

 

  

Siblings share a common spring,

 

From the selfsame parents born;

 

To the same deep roots they cling,

 

By ancestral branches borne.

 

Though their waves may clash and fight,

 

Torn by cross and counter-flow,

 

They must never yield to spite,

 

Nor become a bitter foe.

 

So, from cradle to coffin, let's hold each other!

 

 

 

 

உடன்பிறப்புகள் என்பது ஒரே பெற்றோரின் பிள்ளைகள்;

 

பேரக்குழந்தைகளாக, அவர்கள் ஒரே தாத்தா பாட்டிகளைக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்;

 

அவர்களுக்குள் மாறுபட்ட கருத்துகளும் எதிர் அலைகளும் இருந்தாலும்,

 

அவர்கள் ஒருவருக்கொருவர் எதிரிகளாக இருக்கக்கூடாது!

 

அதனால், பிறப்பு முதல் இறப்பு வரை நாம் ஒருவருக்கொருவர் துணையாக இருப்போம்.

NETAJI SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE

FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:                 NETAJI SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE (23 January 1897-18 August 1945) PARAKRAM DIWAS - (DAY OF VALOUR)   Subash Chandra Bose was born on 23 rd January 1897 in Cuttack in the erstwhile Orissa Division of Bengal Province of the British India.   Though born into a large, wealthy, well-educated, and privileged Bengali family, the fire in him for the freedom of India was rather inextinguishable, and his thirst unquenchable. The British rulers jailed him in 1921-1922 because he took active interest in our national independence struggle. Again, in 1925, he was sent to prison in Mandalay for nationalist activities and released in 1927.   After being the President of the Indian National Congress during 1938-1939, differences arose with the top Congress leadership and he resigned from the post and party.   He advocated complete Swaraj and was in favour of the use of force, if necessary,...

FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!

Image
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...

REVISITING MY HALCYON DAYS IN OFFICE

Image
FROM SAMPATH’S DESK           REVISITING MY HALCYON DAYS IN OFFICE     Each day started with the morning alarms - of a clock or cell phone - to wake me up, as is the case even now. If not, the hooting of milk cookers and/or rice cookers in the neighbourhood would surely do the job. As is the typical characteristic and norm with any machine-like city life, a day began for me amidst the hustle and bustle all around! Ululations of milk, vegetables, and other vendors (nowadays pre-recorded call-outs blare on a loudspeaker),  etc. would herald the beginning of the race with the time, which is what the urban milieus in Chennai, the place of my residence and office were all about. The daily morning chores tightly tied me up against time ticking on, thus ushering in the day’s hubbub.   Office going in Chennai, a pleasant experience for me once while I was residing in Triplicane which was nearby (at a walkable distance), subsequent...
