The Mother in You

I just can't believe. How could that be alive for one more day? It was thrown out of its cage when it was just two days old. I had no clue why the mother pigeon did that.



My dad put it in a different cage. I thought it was ridiculous. I mean, how you take care of a squab of two days old. At least, you can feed animals like dog and cat. But for a bird? I really felt that that bird would die in a day or two.



He used ink-filler (I remember using these sort of plastic ink-fillers when I was in school) to give water, drop by drop on its beak and fried gram flour as its daily food. When I saw him few days back, he was scolding the little bird which was standing on his pillow - "Don't you know that I sleep till 5 PM. Why are you disturbing me in between"? He gave some food and went again to sleep.



Now it can run. Now it can fly. Thank God, no one needs to teach this little bird how to fly. Now it can fly as good as its mother. Wings are born out of true love. Only a mother can show this kind of dedication and love. No matter where, if you feel the unconditional love, you are seeing the mother.

The Kite Runner

Usually, I buy and read book suggested by my friends but no one suggested me to read the book "The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini". I neither heard about it before I accidentally bought it. I was looking for the books I planned to buy in the Chennai Bookfair 2011 and I found this book . There was something attractive, though it was not as beautiful as of many of the books cover design, it should be the cover of it, because all I could see was only the book cover. I took it in my hand and asked myself, should I buy this?, yes was the answer and I bought it. I completed reading this book last week, after keeping it the shelf for almost 2 years. I am glad I got this book. It is one of best books I read in the recent years. The phrase " For you, a thousand times over " lingering in the mind is the proof that I really enjoyed reading this book and moved so much ;) " I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975 &

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu
