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...

An unfinished carving

Everyone was posting about the importance of books, and that the hobby should be kept alive with the current generation. But reading books has been my hobby since I learnt to read. So, I thought of updating my thoughts on the topic. A door into imagination, books are the key to convert all your clumsy, jumbled thoughts into clear pictures.

There is a wide range of books from fiction to biography, literally on every topic we are interested in. I feel people should just read...

GUILT

Guilty is the mind that has not accepted what your heart has. Guilty is that mind which looks over a 1000 possibilities knowing that the first one has already happened, Guilty is the mind for dreaming of the perfect world all alone Each time I pick up those dirty plates I see the leftovers the guilt fills me as I remember the boy begging by the hotel The young girl whose cloths hung over her fragile skeleton The baby on her back crying in hunger. Each time I see the garbage hills and land fills I'm engulfed in guilt The guilt of ignoring that sight and not doing anything about it The guilt of ignoring in spite of the knowledge that its going to affect my planet , my generation Each time I see water leaking out off an unfixed tap I'm immersed in guilt as I can feel the scorching sun burning my skin I can imagine what would be left of the ozone if we continue global warming at this rate Each time I come across an article on a religious conflict I'm fill...
