Happiness??!!

 Days fly through imagining their faces

And my imagination blooms into gardens, waiting for their conversations

Their house reminds me of distant memories

A relation I knew existed but never felt until that night


Hearing profound stories and  wondering if they were real

Making up scenarios just to know if they still remember us


Flying across the world imagining I would make them proud

Winning prizes imagining they would congratulate


That night proved it all, 

Maybe the stories were true, 

Maybe my mom was correct on their attitude and understanding


But really what I saw that moment

Was the love I was looking for

Soaring across every corner in my heart were the waves of satisfaction

Finding my tribe in this chaos created by time proved that hope still exists in the deepest of sorrows 

The mistakes that remained unforgiven 

Remained buried deep 

After all I'm still small enough to find happiness in humans !

- Bharathi Senthilkumar

This poem is on quite a personal note! It just happened all in one night, so putting it in a few paragraphs may not do full justice but how else can a poetess share her feelings!!

Hope I've made you feel those waves !!

Apathy's Anchor

 A lone tree  claimed  the land,    Lost in its own silence .  It  held fast , though winds did roar,  And birds sang,  unheard .  Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted.  For how could a rock ever truly smile?  Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar

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...
