POVERTY AND HUNGER - வறுமையும் பசியும்

 FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 




POVERTY AND HUNGER

 

 


It's natural for anyone to get APPETITE;

 

A tasty food is the first option to SATIATE;

 

Or, at least, some snacks to BITE;

 

But still, hunger will not fly away like a baloon or KITE;

 

Yes, sooner or later, it will be back with a BANG!

 

 

 

 

Poverty is a BANE;

 

If it's at a very young age, it will give more PAIN;

 

Let's therefore carve out a society WHEREIN -

 

The deprivation is SLAIN;

 

And, as thundered by the Mahakavi SUBRAMANYA BHARATHIYAR, we should ensure there is not even a single unfed PERSON!

 

 

 

............

 

 

 

வறுமையும் பசியும்:

 

 

 

பசி எடுப்பது எவருக்கும் இயற்கையான ஒரு உணர்வு;

 

அதைத் தணிக்க சுவையான உணவே முதல் தேர்வு;

 

அல்லது, கொறிப்பதற்குச் சிறிதேனும் சிற்றுண்டி;

 

ஆயினும் பசி பறந்து போகாது, பலூனோ பட்டமோ ஆகி;

 

ஆம், விரைவிலோ சற்றுத் தாமதமாகவோ, அது மீண்டும் வரும் வேகமாக!

 

 

 

 

 

வறுமை என்பது ஒரு கொடிய சாபம்;

 

அது இளமையிலேயே வந்தால் தரும் அதிக துன்பம்;

 

ஆகவே நாம் உருவாக்குவோம் ஒரு புதிய சமுதாயம் -

அங்கே இல்லாமை எனும் இருள் அழியட்டும்;

 

மேலும், மகாகவி சுப்பிரமணிய பாரதியார் முழங்கியது போல், 'தனி ஒருவனுக்கு உணவில்லையெனில் ஜகத்தினை அழித்திடுவோம்' என உறுதி ஏற்போம்!

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  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 international...

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...
