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.

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same. If you look ...
