DEEPAVALI GREETINGS / தீபாவளி வாழ்த்துக்கள்

DEEPAVALI GREETINGS / தீபாவளி வாழ்த்துக்கள்

 

 

 

Deepavali is a festival of LIGHTS;

 

How many mouth-watering savories and SWEETS:

 

 Besides many SPOTLIGHTS;

 

Specifically FIREWORKS;

 

That shine and sparkle as if we have brought from the Sky to the Earth STARLIGHTS -

 

All that would line up to extend us GREETINGS;

 

With a bouquet of beautiful SIGHTS;

 

Taking our joy to greater HEIGHTS:

 

Shuttling us in high-flying FLIGHTS;

 

For children, the day would bring many special DELIGHTS;

 

And for all, great ebullient EFFECTS!

 

 

 ................   


 

 தீபாவளி:

 

 

 

தீபாவளி என்பது திருவிளக்குகளின் திருவிழா!

 

நா ஊறும் பலகாரங்களும் நல் இனிப்புகளும் எத்தனையோ!

 

திசையெங்கும் சுடர்விடும் பேரொளிகள் ஒருபுறம்,

 

வான் விண்மீன்களை மண்ணிற்குள் கொண்டுவந்தது போல்

விண்ணதிர ஒளிசிதறிப் பொழியும் பட்டாசுகள் மறுபுறம்!

 

இவையாவும் ஒன்றிணைந்து நமக்கு வாழ்த்துக் கூற,

 

கண்கொள்ளாக் காட்சிகள் நம்மைப் பரவசப் படுத்த,

 

நம் மன மகிழ்ச்சியை மாபெரும் உயரத்திற்கு ஏற்றி,

 

விண்ணில் பறக்கும் அதிவேக விமானமாய் நம்மைத் தூக்கிட,

 

பிள்ளைகளின் நெஞ்சங்களில் பேரானந்தம் பொங்கிட,

 

அனைவர் வாழ்விலும் பேரெழுச்சியும் புன்னகையும் மலர்ந்திட!

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,...

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...

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...
