An inseparable connection

 While 

The small birds chirp sweet songs

I'm reminded 

Of those sweet words which whispered me to sleep

While 

The scented flowers bloom overnight

I'm reminded 

Of the jasmine flowers adorned on my mother's hair

While 

The looming green mountains with patches of brown pass during road trips 

I'm reminded

Of the one mountain I woke up to and slept,

While 

The cold water runs down my sweaty back

I'm reminded 

Of those nights my father came back from work all exhausted and sweaty

I'm reminded of those sacrifices made for a family! 

- Bharathi Senthilkumar


I think this poem is quite personal regarding the specific details I've highlighted. Although it is one of those sensitive topics many people keep with themselves, I couldn't hold on the overwhelming gratitude that fills me each time I think of my family members!

Book Review – Democrazy

I recently read Democrazy during a long train journey from my hometown to Chennai, and it was quite an engaging experience. The book offers a satirical take on democracy, exploring why ordinary citizens often feel they can question the system but find it difficult to bring about meaningful change. While referencing the famous phrase “for the people, by the people”, it examines how the idea sometimes appears complicated in practice, despite being outlined in one of the longest constitutions in the world. The author uses humor and sharp observation to present scenarios that oscillate between amusing and thought-provoking. The narrative describes different forms of challenges faced by citizens—such as bribery, exploitation, and bureaucratic hurdles—through a cast of fictional characters: a head of government, an ambitious family member, a veteran party member, an influential industrialist, a sincere journalist, a socially active citizen (particularly on social media), a strict school prin...

Sathuragiri experience

  Sathuragiri is a pilgrimage site located in the district of Virudhunagar in Tamilnadu. The hills are actually a part of the Western Ghats. The name is in Tamil, as 'chaturam' means square and 'giri' means mountain. Many people say the the hill is square-shaped, so that's where the name originates from. I saw that the temple built around the 2 'suyambu' lingam or the two idols that are not installed by any person but they exist on their own is in the middle of 4 different hills.  Our group consisted of 4 girls and their fathers and four other uncles. Everyone was a school friend except my father, our group’s leader and another uncle. Everyone is such an amazing person. We had great fun throughout the entire journey. They all taught me so much by talking about their life experiences and many other incidents that changed their lives. We began our trek from a madam at the foot of the hills in SriVilliputhur. Filled with adventurous paths, I had great fun a...
