A Day When The Food Eaten All Alone
A day
when the food eaten all alone
in the absence of the guests,
A night spent
without accompanying and enjoying
the beautifully dressed and well adorned wife,
The entire day passed
without offering what is needed
to the needy and poor;
The above three are considered
as the disease to the learned
and knowledgeable people.

The Time Will Turn In Your Favor!
Whatever you speak
May be just babbling;
Your babbling may become
A preaching noticed by everyone;
Whomever you see today
May cheat you everyday;
But, the people who cheated you
May expect one word from you;
The word of CONSOLATION
And a word of HELP from you;
The time will turn for ever
It will come in your favor!

The virtue is compared with milk
Colors of the cows vary,
The variety of the breeds vary,
But the color of the milk
does never vary,
It is always pure and white!
Similarly,
The quality for a human being
is the virtue he gains in his life time
through good deeds;
('The virtue is compared with milk')
The paths for attaining virtue
may be many genuine ways!

Words are of no use, but in vain
Lovers look at each other,
A pair of eyes look into another
pair of eyes - Love and desire
are passed through the pupil in the eyes;
Face glitters,
Speechless messages are
understood for ever;
They need not speak,
Words are of no use, but in vain.

Who Have Done A Great Sin?
The person who killed a living being, say animal or bird
The person who has supported and witnessed the killing
The person who bought the meat of the deceased animal and bird;
If you think twice, even
The person who cooked the meat of the same and
The person who ate the cooked meat;
All the five are considered to have done a great sin.

A Lover Is Perplexed At Seeing His Fiancee!
A lover is perplexed
at seeing his fiancee!
Is she a divine girl
descending from heaven?
Is she a beautiful peacock
designed by creation?
Is she a maid
adorned with ornamental
golden ear jewelary?
My heart cannot decide!
it doubts!
Ref: ThirukkuRaL 1081

A Guava fruit a day
An apple a day
keeps the doctor away
is a proverb;
Alas! the cost of an apple
is more than twenty rupee;
It does not suit everybody's pocket,
So go to another alternative fruit,
Cost effective to all purse
and competitive in price;
Take it as a policy,
A Guava fruit a day
keeps diabetes away,
It is a new saying to follow from today.

I Have The Sole Right To Protect You
Many people would like to have you,
A girl is fond of having you
to beautify her hair on her head,
A lover would like to impress his girl
and offer her, A ROSE, to get her love,
A leader, Jawaharlal Nehru, kept you
with pleasure close to his heart,
But, O'.. I have the sole right to protect you,
Said the thorn in the stock of flower ROSE!

A School Bus Broke Down
A school bus broke down
while passing through the village road,
in a single road with ups and downs;
The youthful children alighted down,
Enchanted by the fields around,
Jumped with joy and singing all around,
in tune with sparrow merry go round;
The accompanying school teacher
who missed the childhood pleasure
got irritated and said, 'Shut up'.

Knowledge Of Letters And Numbers
Knowledge of Letters and Numbers
are essentials and EQUIVALENT to EYES;
In those days, say in olden days
the scope of education was very low;
Those people acquired the knowledge
by way of learning numbers to count,
And letters to interact with, in a learned court.
