Blessed 2025

May have crossed the Oceans 

and decades

But one's Heart NEVER leaves Home

Soil our Ancestors

walked 

the Blessings of the people that they served 

with compassion

their footprint

shall forever be 

carved in the success

of future generations

through the dreams 

I carried and shall soon rise

with God's Grace a Library cum Center of Wisdom

within the walls

where five generations

have breathed

In Awe of an everloving GOD!

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD ALMIGHTY!

Millets Grin

 Millets Grin

...The Brightest!

My Grandma used to tell us all the time that white four is making people less heathy. She knew from her life experience. I believed her not only because she was my grandma, but, I knew she was very smart and she read the ‘Sunday Observer & the bi weekly Morning Star. She had graduated from Uduvil Girls College finishing her senior Cambridge. She spoke English fluently & wrote letters to her nieces/nephews abroad in English.

According to my grandma, during her childhood ( and from ancient times) Tamil people ate Millets regularly and were very healthy & lived long. Of course she often cooked Kurakkan Puttu & give us with Palmyrah jaggery & coconut milk. Priceless!

She had nice long shinny hair & the brightest white healthy teeth I have ever seen

& no wonder the orderly at the doctor's office had asked her to remove her denture - thinking they are fake... My grandma was so... offended for a moment and then she started laughing. 

This was the funniest story she liked to tell us while giving us 'burned husk of Rice' - the charcoal powder - for us to brush our teeth and of course we did using our right fore-finger. I never had cavities though we ate sweet desserts & breakfast until we were teenagers and had to use Tooth brushes at the boarding school!

Of course we consumed no millets at the boarding school - Rice based & mostly White Wheat flour (locally referred to as the American flour) - Bread/ Biscuits/ Cake. You name it... all our favorite modern snacks at school were made of white flour & white sugar...  A long way away from the healthy Millet grains!

Lets eat more Millet Grains & Grin the Brightest - like my Grandma!
