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.

A TEACHER NAMED LIFE
Enjoy the little things in life, because one day you will look back, and realize they were the bigs things.
No matter how cold, talented, educated or rich you think you are, how you treat people tells all. INTEGRITY IS EVERYTHING.
Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment in your life.
If it doesn't open, it's not your door.
Everyone wants happiness. No one wants pain. But you can't have a rainbow, without a little rain.
Rivers never go reverse. So try to live like a river. Forget your past and focus on the future.
Your best teacher is your last mistake. 14
Insight 2019
A seed grows with no sound but a tree falls with huge noise. Destruction has noise, but creation is quiet. This is the power of silence… Grow silently.

Your mind will believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it with love. A. JebaKarunya III B.A English Literature

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.

When I walk the path that is wrong,
Like a mother, you bring me back.
How the planets revolve around the sun,
Likewise, I revolve around you.
Confidence and truth are things
I learned from you.
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.
With your love
You give me the strength to go on.
My death might be common,
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
Happy families are all alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
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.

Lie eternal in heaven, Your heart.

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!!

SMILE DAY
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…….
The grin becomes a chuckle and it then becomes a laugh.
And everyone will wonder if
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.

MYSTIC MIRACLE
Angels weep out of jealousy
Devils have no single conspiracy
Demons dancing in harmony
Violins break out of envy terribly
Composers have no more creativity
Music plays with no melody
Silence starts listening joyfully
Happiness laughters left in agony
Beautiful words describe misery
Flowers become colorless shamefully
Hearts start beating rapidly
Lungs oxygenating quickly
Living ones laying listening carefully
The dead come back miraculously

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!!!

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!

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.

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!...
