I wonder

 If those wild dreams lead to these sleepless nights 

I wonder where the stern hard work results....

If those small seeds of wonder have grown into trees of appreciation

I wonder what the fruits of admiration hold

If the sands of time create an impression unerasable by strong winds 

I wonder how sprinkles of forgiveness closed scars itched on the stone like heart

If the mountains of hopes heaped up to touch the sky

I wonder if these human legs will catch up with the reality of each hairpin bend 

If the lights of knowledge guide a blind man 

I wonder what the shining stars of learning reveals 

If all the opportunities in the world were out for sale 

I wonder if I'm equipped with the guts to grab one without questioning the results

If this were to be the end of the world 

I wonder what a luxurious home this universe has been

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...
