Independence Day 2020
My Glow in the Dark Night Life
Polychromatic cosmic world in my hand ,
Wandering for a living on Chennai’s beach land .
Children go ballistic… At the bobbing balloons,
Wanting to possess this duplicate mystic moon !
Rupees 50, I make through an adamant child ,
No one can hear my “lucky day” chuckle… so mild 🙂
Health assurance
I know I’m a goat ,
But do you know,very often I have a tummy bloat
When it comes to food , I do have a mind of my own,
Entree’s vary from paper bags to plastic phones !
It’s not an easy choice to make,
Saambaar drenched polymers I decide to take .
In heaps I find them outside residential apartments,
Yet to reach the ears of the TN Health Department!
Healthy Colours !
Red, yellow , green, plantains,
Sold by twenties and tens.
Carts sail in and out of streets,
Tempting health freaks to buy these treats.
Pedlar’s shouts float through the Sunday calm air ,
Announcing their natural benefits for nail & hair !!
Fascinating corridor of Vellai Vinayagar temple
The Vellai Vinayagar temple in Kumbakonam is famous for the Ganesha deity that is white in color (the local priest told that the deity was made out of the foam that came from the sea and hence the white color).
What caught my attention was the Shiva temple thats also in the same complex. The photo above is the corridor that leads to the Shiva deity. Fascinating long corridor – if you zoom in a bit, you can see the altar of the deity (almost)
Sunset at Gangai konda Cholapuram
A photo taken at the historic Gangai konda Cholapuram near Kumbakonam. This is a smaller sized replica of the Thanjavur Big temple and both the temples are shown in the picture below – striking similarity !
Periya Veedu (Big house) in Athangudi
These are pictures from the Periya Veedu (Big house) in Athangudi (near Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu). Amazing details and worth visiting !
Ready for a Road Trip !
Friends from Chennai say!
We clamber up abandoned vehicles,
Cause we’re savvy and technical,
We explore this three wheeled locomotive,
If on Delhi freeways,it can be accommodative .
We are game for the VV84 road trip,
Bet ya….. in a car ? drag we’re bound to zip !! ??
Energy Tiffin
Vannakkam Chennai, Vessels shaken and stirred, making a din,
When sunlight comes streaming in.
Weathered hands peeling pungent onion,
Deft he is, a skilled kitchen minion!
Time for kal dosa to be on the leaf,
Energy Tiffin for passing labourers’ relief !
Jobless ?
Job opportunities at its lowest ebb,
Repercussion of a political web .
Cheap propaganda at its heights,
For a meal , this is my plight.
I am their mock “Pinup” boy ,
All part of a scheming ploy.
Nevertheless,I’m the chosen patriot,
Forsaking my dignity , for the treacherous lot !
