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!

Joy At Work

 

Have you seen 
the JOY at work?
The minds 
in sync
with nature...













The hearts
brimming with Awe...
of the sounds
of the carefree birds
the gentleness of the breeze
tickling the branches 
of the weeping willow
to giggle!
 


















joy released...
from wild berries
vibrant on the path
vivid and juicy
with butterflies
ready to take flight

I am my Mothers' Daughter.......

Cardamom Gift - 2024
Cardamom & Black Pepper
brought the world to our feet
through the battles of greed or oppression

shal remain rooted firm
and soar skywards
to tell 
what we stood for 
on 
our ancestral land
our history
our victories
as red as our soil
and our mothers' blood
the essence 
of 
our spices!
