Union Cures The Illness
For any illness,
The symptoms and signs are within oneself, but
The cure is obtaining medicines from source outside;
Whereas,
For the illness of a well jeweled mistress
Who is longing for union with lover,
She herself is the medicine,
Union cures the illness.

False Prestige!
Train journey,
Youth smokes unmindful of co-passengers,
False prestige!
Chain smoker,
Chronic cough,
Lung cancer!
Smokes umpteen cigarettes,
Spends huge income on spoiling health,
Myocardial infarction!
Chronic alcoholic,
Cirrhosis liver,
Loss of life!

Don't Bite Your Nail, Dame!
Whenever you bite your
Nail of your little finger,
However thy look and beauty
May increase,
All the dirt underneath thy fingers
Drains into thy stomach
E.coli enters in;
Amoebiasis you might get,
Your health will be spoiled,
Don't bite your nail, Dame!

The Fourth Mind
I presume what I think may be true,
Everybody has four minds within;
One mind says it wants every thing forever,
Another mind says it doesn't want whatsoever,
Third one says let us see later;
Is it OK what three minds say?
The fourth mind says 'Yes' Yes' Yes'.

The Best Wealth A Person Should Possess
Even ordinary persons, with no respect
and manners, may have money and wealth
which may not be standard and eternal;
The best wealth,
among the all types of wealth,
a person should possess... is nothing but
a kind heart, grace and mercy to others.(ThirukkuRaL 241)

Who else thought of you?
When I sneezed while we were united,
She praised and blessed me for long life;
Later instantly she changed her mind
And cried, 'who else other than me
Thought of you and sneezed? '
(It is a common belief that if a loving person thinks of the beloved, the beloved gets sneeze)

Laugh, Laugh, Laugh
Laughter,
Best medicine,
Happy life!
Laugh Laugh Laugh,
Don't take the strain into heart,
Lead a happy life!
Laugh out loudly,
Don't give chance for others to laugh,
Lead a contented life!
Laughter is the quality,
Offered only to the mankind
Who thinks what is right!

My girlfriend
What If,
If there is a shower of drizzle from the sky;
What If,
If there is an incessant rain on the earth;
What If,
If there are lots of flowers falling on me;
What If,
If there is an outburst of crackers;
O' I realize
My girlfriend whom I love most
Is by my side!

Let Us Be Friendly With Everybody!
Rabbit and Tortoise
Went for a race;
Envy villain rabbit
Threw the stone at Hero Rabbit;
Hero Rabbit's leg got broken,
Limping Rabbit couldn't run fast!
Hero Rabbit lost the match,
This is how Tortoise won the race.
Lesson is, 'Don't have enmity'
Let us be friendly with everybody!

Great people with reputation
Cherish lustre and greatness
as and when the tiger eats meat;
Feels happy and satisfied
as the cattle eats grass grown in wet land;
Men with lower pride feel contented
as and when they eat rice as food;
Great people with reputation will feel pride
by their noble deeds to the community.
