UNHEARD VOICES

But you the coward who Threw the bomb know he is Destroyed by you brutal cowardice. Do your generation have the guts To face the curse splashed Through the overwhelming tears Of our warriors' wives?! Every cell of their bloodshed Will get magnified as limitless arms To confront the stupidity act. Wait and watch the unheard voices Of India's might.

THE CREATION OF THE MODERN HUMAN

The modern human, lies psychologically and technically for ahead of Homo Neanderthalensis humans have shifted their lives from survival to comfort, opening up our minds and dulling our senses. We now betray see and hear for what we choose see and here. This resulted in several changes and the possible creation of the modern human.

The fast moving world has ironically and paradoxically slowed down. There always exists a balance, one which expresses itself in the smallest ways but always has the biggest impact. The biggest crime one would ever do is not to dismantle the balance but it is to turn a blind eye on repairing it. The only thing that modern human perceives is to progress in increasing self satisfaction and reputation.

10

Insight 2019

Reputation impresses a set of people and it makes us to do things that we deeply do not accept within ourselves. Reputation is the enemy of human evolution that hides the morals and ideals which help modern man fit into different situations.

The world thinks that progress is moving forward which is equal to advancing. Progress is to make better from good and the best from better. If we keep our like and dislike away from the world, there would be a lot more peace in the years to come. It is we should accept the reality to acknowledge that it was we who started the fire in the earth and we should take the first step towards healing our burning planet. We judge terrorists, poachers and murderers for what they do, there are people living on the streets condemn us for things such as wasting food and water. Some people die because of starvation. It is time to stop saying, “ they are guilty and they deserve that ”and tell ourselves that we are all equally guilty of the creation of the modern human though we may not be terrorists, poachers or murderers.

MY LORD "OM SAKTHI"

Bliss! Bliss! Bliss!

Lord you are my life.

When I stand in front of you,

I realize that this birth of mine

Is the boon you gave.

I was deaf and dumb,

My legs trembled and felt numb.

But your love showered me strength.

When I come to see thee,

I pray to you.

God! You guide me in the path of truth.

Your voice resonates in my heart

To help those who feel helpless,

To have good thoughts.

Thus I have no fear,

Because, you are near.

Good or bad,

You have given me everything in my life.

Many have mocked me, scolded me.

But God, you are always there

Holding my trembling fingers.

You give me the strength to go on.

And my body might fade away

With my last heart beat.

THOUGHTS OF EVERY MAN

From the deepest desires often comes the deadliest hate.

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul.

There can be no good without evil

One man's wilderness is..

Another man's theme park.

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good character& my enemies for their good intellect.

PRINCESS OF THE DAFFODIL GARDEN

Snowy droplets of leaflets,

Bluey skies of artistic facts;

Cool breeze softens the skin,

Endeavored with the hymns of quills;

In the sweet fragrance of daffodils,

In the chill breeze of the cool winds -

Gazes milky King looking for the Baby Princii;

Where in the breezy night of the daffodil garden,

Lies frozen fairies in the petals of daffodils,

Flowery surface slopes and

Rainy droplets shutters -

All in the dreamy land of consciousness

With the companion of mesmerizing twinkling stars;

And there lies the pretty princess of the daffodils -

Inside the cozy bed of the daffodil buds ..,

WOMAN, THE WARRIOR!!

She, the empress of her own life,

Fights against all odds with her head held up.

She is a queen crowned by her own happiness,

Amidst the hardships of life.

When her legs stood up firm on her own to thrive,

There she became the Warrior!!

Her independent ability made her to attain ,

The dreams of her desires to the fullest.

And there she stood like a calm tree,

With impeccable fortune!

Now she becomes the embodiment of an

EMPOWERED WOMAN!!

I hope that you will smile today and give yourself a break

A smile can be great medicine

It helps when hearts might ache.

32

Insight 2019

Perhaps, if you try hard enough, the smile becomes a grin.

And when you`ve worn it long enough,

You`ll feel it grow and then…….

You`ve made a social gaffe.

For laughter is contagious and it helps to get us through

Here`s hoping that today will bring

Some happiness to you.

TRUTH TO BROOD

Truth is hard to digest,

Harder to reject,

Makes one ponder

And leaves to wonder,

Rude are the words of these shrewd,

When truth delivered crude

Lets one to brood

Hence makes drastic changes in mood.

Truth when twisted as a hoax

Rests men in mocks;

A replica of the same (truth) used as a jest,

Shatters the highest of all compliments - trust.

Fidelity is the best of all truths,

Best gifts a man could gift one with truth.

MY ONLY HOPE

You watched me when I was struck

You watched me weeping, you know how

Much I begged them,

You watched when I was slapped when I

Was bruised

You watched me when I was mistreated, when

I was cheated

You watched me struggling, you watched me

Fighting

You watched me when I was hated, when

I was cursed

You watched me getting angry, getting violent

You watched me rise the scream enough…

When I was about to slap back, you taught me

The lesson of forgiveness

When I was about to end it all, you

Insight 2019

Trample the darkness in me

When I thought I was alone, you made

Me realize

When I was pricked, you were pricked as well

When I was slapped, you turned your other

Cheek to them

When I was failed to love, you showed your

Warmth to them

When I struggle with my addictions, you

Tore it away from me

When I cried you cried

When I was rejected, you wrapped me in

Your light.

When I asked you why? You answered,

“You are the crushed beautiful flower

Who spread your fragrance in around me”. V.Pavithra II M.A English Literature

MY WORLD

You came into my life

When I was alone

You‟re like a thunderstorm

You made me strong

All the pains that rains in my heart

Were swept away

It was your sweet words that made me stay.

My world was then with full of joy

I can feel within myself

And that was a lovely thought

By your arms I was safe guarded

Looking into your eyes

I see no lies

But if this is only a dream

Waking up is a sin

But alas…

43

Insight 2019

You went away and left me behind

All your words is only a waste of time

Now that you‟re gone

I can feel the loneliness in my life!!!

V.Pavithra II M.A English Literature

LORD MURUGA!

Bliss! Bliss! Bliss!

Bliss! The moment I blessed with thoughts and words

To attain thy lotus feet, my lord!

Yes! I am blind

Until my eyes away from thy crimson face!

At the minute, I am no more blind

Only while under the grace of thy face!

Yes! I am deaf

Until the love couplets ruled the playlist!

I am no more deaf

Only while under the lyrics ..OM..OM..! 44

Insight 2019

Yes! I am dumb

Until I spoke as an atheist!

I am no more dumb

Only while thou and thy name and fame!

Yes! I am a handicap

Until I refused to make the flowers bloom

As you like it!

I am no more a handicap

Only while I render the garlands

That I plucked with barefoot!

Yes! I am lonely

Until I denied to accept thy power!

I am no more lonely..

Only while I hear thy words around my ears!

Yes! I am backstabbed and betrayed

Until I believed that I was not thy devotee..

I am no more backstabbed and betrayed

45

Insight 2019

Only while I learn the lessons you give!

Yes! I am broken

Until I dragged my heart away

Where it wished to trust you!

I am no more broken

Only while I trust thee!

Yes! I am jealous

Until I knew my worth and work!

I am no more jealous

Only while offering myself to you!

Yes! I am a beggar

Until I felt the real existence of love!

I am no more a beggar

Only under the shower of thy love!

Yes! I am mortal

Until I looked for companion, without you!

I am no more mortal

46

Insight 2019

Only while I serve my duty to thine!

Yes! I am ugly

Until I was under the attraction of people!

I am no more ugly

Only under the list of your creation!

Guhaya!

My eyes can meet thy presence

Myself absent in the present to the people!

Yet they are apart from the world

Where I am, and which is alone real!

I don‟t have proof for your presence

To those sceptic people!

The only thing I could offer them

Is my words.. my words that adore you..

My words that astonish you..

My words that praise you..

My words that preach about you..

47

Insight 2019

My words that make you live in all hearts!

And my soul that can lose

Its life time in earth whenever there wish!

Dear Murugah!

I am not Parvati

To grab you entirely into my hands!

I am not a peacock

To travel with you world wide

I am not Valli

To win over your heart!

As you are the light particle from thy father

I am thy light particle from thee!

And let the history accept me

As your daughter

Not for the sake I like you..

But for I love you!

THE DAY OF HONOR

It was a cool breeze morning, he was getting ready for the function and preparing his speech in mind on one side and took a picture of him in mobile and sent his dearest friend Jessica, she is not so cute but gorgeous for him. Genuine and soft hearted, a sensitive girl but who meant lot to him, sometimes being a teacher, sister, advisor, motivator. In short, a soul bestie to him.

She called and wished him and gave some suggestions about his speech. After receiving compliments and wishes from her, he went to college. While he traveling in his college bus, memories of his golden days in his life came across like a series of images in a movie.

It was a rainy night around 10pm, he stood alone in the street with a big shiny championship shield that covered with decorative stones sparkling like a diamond, of an event covered by his hand, thunder welcomed him in street with a roar and lightning opened the white shiny carpet in that night to show him the way in dark.

That night was the first time he felt like a heroic man himself.

Suddenly, bus driver hit a sudden brake, that regain his mind to real world.He came down from bus, “THE DAY OF HONOR”, he saw the event name with decorations in the reception with a decorative board made by his fellow students.

THE DAY OF HONOR is a special event in his college, as the name implies, it is really an honourable day for the students, those people who was kept on moving faster towards their dream and awarded as best students of the college. The whole college will appreciate them for their achievements.

He started to think all those days when people around him used to say “you‟re mad at these, these are not going to help you at any place, c‟mon dude try to enjoy the life, you‟re just wasting time”. He just kept on ignore them and never gave up on things to achieve.

While Rhea listening his speech, Jessica began to think about how he got practice from Rhea.

Previous night he kept on calling Rhea continuously to practice the speech, without any hesitation Rhea gave him training all over night till 11pm with patience to the core. She trained him and guided him with some suggestions. And at last he mastered his speech and got good compliments from Rhea.

Suddenly they heard a voice, “Guys, everyone should assemble at the seminar hall. The event is going to start”, our Incharge said. Jessica came to reality and both Rhea and Jessica wished him and went.

A Professor came to stage, he started to introduce the students crew members of the academic year 2018. Finally, the moment came, “The ACHIEVER OF THE YEAR of our college”, “ADAM”, Yes! The hero of our story is Adam. There the moment came, the moment which made his professors proud of him, the golden fruit of his passion and hard work finally came,he went on stage and the VIP honoured him as THE ACHIEVER OF THE YEAR.

He dedicated his awards to his professors because they stood as backbone for him, and he went to them and received golden blessings from them, which taught people those who are laughed at him, and learnt the biggest lesson of life.

Then his turn came, the thing he afraid of, he prepared from previous night, all those teaching and suggestions of Rhea rounded his mind. Adam started the speech with a lower voice and went with the exact flow of how Rhea taught him. Jessica and Rhea sat and listened him carefully and prayed inside themselves till the end of his vote of thanks.

He came from the stage with a smile, Professors appreciated him for his speech, of course, Rhea too appreciated him and Jessica congratulated him. For them and his professors, it would be the one of the happiest day in their life, seeing their student, friend honoured.

While moving to home with lots of happy moments in both mind and heart and also with lot more responsibilities than before. He went home and started his life in a new way to sow lot more seeds and to take lot more responsibilities on him.

LOVELY BROTHER

I feel secured,

With my brother around,

I think him about for a while:

There rushes to my mind,

His sweet smile.

Very soon he mingles

And murmurs jingles,

He treats everyone equally

And lives happily.

Has a very cheerful face,

And wins in every race.

He is candid,

54

Insight 2019

All sort of funny things,he did.

But at times his anger,

Makes my heart slur,

That flies so fast,

So will never forget the past.

A very talkative guy,

And never utters a lie.

He never grumbles,

And others he never troubles.

He is filled with lot of vigour,

Also soft as feather.

He is very caring,

And very daring.

I could very well assure,

He is a hidden treasure.

I have great hopes on my brother,

That he will become a great person.

55

Insight 2019

While I see him flying high, in the sky

I would be in the seventh heaven,

All happy things would happen.

WARRIORS OF WAR

As I yell, in the battle

“Attack”, from my heart

I say “not to”…

To save the innocent…

To save the harmed and secure

Tomorrow from the grasp of war

We the warriors of time

Who say that battle is

Never an option

It is a choice made by the kings

There are no evil warriors

56

Insight 2019

There are only evil kings

Those who had done many

Harm might get hell but

We the warriors, who pray Ares

Shall get what we deserve

We shall get thy unto safety

Or we die trying! Alas! S. Kameswaran I BA English Literature.

TENSION! TENSION! TENSION!

The moment you are in tension!

You will loss your attention!

Then you are in total confusion!

And you will spoil your relation!

Ultimately you won‟t get cooperation!

Then you will make things complication!

So your blood pressure may rise caution!

And you may have to talk medication!

Instead understand the situation!

And try to think about the solution!

Many problems will be solved by discussion!

Which will work at better in the profession!

Don‟t think it‟s all true suggestion!

It‟s only for our prevention!

And finally never come back to TENSION!...
