SLEEP / தூக்கம்

 FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 






SLEEP / தூக்கம்

 

 

It's essential to have a good SLEEP;

 

Preferably DEEP;

 

For health UPKEEP;

 

And to have a safe sail in our life SHIP;

 

No one can ever give a SLIP;

 

Or a SKIP.

 

There is a necessity to EQUIP;

 

And the much-needed peace of mind to physically RECOUP;

 

And for psychological GRIP;

 

And onward STEWARDSHIP -

 

STEP by STEP and not suddenly STEEP!

 

 

 

 

 

இனிய துயில்:

 

 

ஆழ்ந்த உறக்கம் அதுவே வேண்டும்,

 

ஆரோக்கியம் காக்க என்றும் வேண்டும்!

 

வாழ்க்கைப் படகைச் செலுத்த நன்றாய்

வழுவாத் துயிலே வேண்டும் பாராய்!

 

தவிர்க்க முடியாத் தேவை இதுவே

தவற விடாமல் ஏற்பாய் அதுவே!

 

உடலினைத் தேற்றிட அமைதி வேண்டும்;

 

உளவியல் உறுதிக்குத் துயில் வேண்டும்!

 

பொறுப்புடன் வாழும் கடமைப் பாதை;

 

படிப்படியாய் உயரும் இனிய  பாதை!

 

 

திடீரென வீழும் சரிவல்ல வாழ்க்கை,

 

நிதானமாய் வெல்லும் துயிலின் சேர்க்கை!

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...
