PRAYER FOR RAIN

 FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 





PRAYER FOR RAIN

 

  

We pray for RAIN;

 

If you give, we will GAIN;

 

Lest we will be in PAIN;

 

We request YOU to REIN IN

 

God Varuna to grant the BOON;

 

For that's the MAIN

 

Blood carrying VEIN;

 

To MAINTAIN

 

Our REIGN;

 

Otherwise, everything will be in VAIN!

 

 

 

......

 

 

 

 

மழை வேண்டும் எமக்கு!

 

மழை தாரும்,

 

நாங்கள் வளம் பெறுவோம்;

 

இல்லையேல், பெரும் துயர் உறுவோம்.

 

வருண பகவானை

வரம் தரச் செய்ய வேண்டுகிறோம் உம்மை!

 

ஏனெனில், அதுவே எங்கள் உயிரோட்ட நரம்பு,

 

அது தான் எங்கள் வாழ்வை நன்றாகத் தொடர வழி செய்யும் அரும்பு.

 

மழை இல்லையேல், மண்ணில் எல்லாம் வீணாகும்!

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,...

REVISITING MY HALCYON DAYS IN OFFICE

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...

P SUSHEELA

FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:       P SUSHEELA The Nightingale and Melody Queen  of South India  Born on 13 November 1935     The South Indian Nightingale and Melody Queen PULAPAKA SUSHEELA was born on 13 th November 1935 in Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.   She remained the ace playback singer in the South Indian film industry singing mainly in Dravidian majors - Tamil, Telegu, Kannada and Malayalam - spanning over six decades - for generations of female artists especially heroines.   When she made her foray into the South Indian tinsel world as a playback singer, it was not a cakewalk on the feather-bed for her against the domination of the yesteryear popular singers like Dr ML Vasanthakumari, P Leela, Jamunarani,  and Jikki, among others.   Space will run short if an attempt is made here to mention the popular/hit songs sung by her as they are innumerable; so also the awards received by her - both national and inter...
