Little Maria learnt not to cry in a crisis

I dedicate this post to all little Marias of this world. It is about a cute little girl who is very close to my heart. Her name is Maria. Would u like to know more about her? If yes, please hear me...

It was a dark day of heavy downpour. Meadows and roads were flooded with water and the birds in the trees shivered under their wet feathers. The wicked wind was playing its naughtiest tricks to pull down the poor trees. He broke the window panes of small houses and the rain danced on their tin roofs.

Little Maria was coming back home from school. Drenched in rain, she ran, hugging the school bag. She was alone in the road. The wicked wind saw her and, for a better amusement, rushed to her. He pulled her clothes and danced around her whistling in a fierce voice. She fell on the muddy road. The cruel wind laughed and danced seeing her struggling to get up with the bag. Little Maria trembled with fear. She looked around. There was nobody to help her. She cried aloud and ran as fast as she could. The wind and rain laughed and chased her enjoying her helpless cries.
Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind. It was a bullock cart. The cart stopped near her and a face from inside asked her," May I help you, dear?" Even without thinking about an answer, she jumped into the cart and the cart moved. In the cart, she saw an old man. He smiled at her with kindness. she too smiled. A smile of relief..! The cart moved ahead and where the road divided into two, the old man asked her," Which is your way, dear?" She pointed to the right. The old man became gloomy and he slowly said to her, " Sorry, my child. I should go in the way to the left." Little Maria was shocked. She couldnt keep back her tears. There was storm outside. The wicked wind and the rain were waiting outside for another cruel game.

She wiped her tears, said thanks to the old man and stepped out of the cart.
Then she slowly walked along the road with firm steps, against the wind, drenched in rain...!!

Friendship


Night came..Light faded to darkness..


My eyes are not sharp enough to pierce the darkness and see my friend sitting beside me…


I cannot see him… but it doesn’t mean, he is away from me…..!!!!!!!!


There is a mighty mist of darkness in between us…


Still…..…I feel his presence…

Alone.. In the Crowd..

Alone…In the crowd....

When I was a small girl, my ambition was to be a good girl and to win the hearts of all. I felt proud of myself, when my parents proudly presented me before their friends.

In my adolescence, I always pretended to be very serious to protect myself from all distractions. I behaved as a grown up matured one. Everybody appreciated my maturity ..!

When I grew up to a young girl, I restricted my thoughts to suit the financial and social back ground of my family. I honestly tried to realize my limitations.

When I became a wife, I tried to be a good wife for him who gave me a life..

Then I became a mother. Motherhood taught me more about love and sacrifices..

In my career, whenever more and more tough assignments were given to me, I took them as a challenge. When I felt totally tired after a day’s work, I enjoyed that fatigue.

Now, shall I look back to my life? Just to see.. How does it look like..

Hey…!!! I can’t see myself anywhere there……!!!!!!!!!!!

Narrow Escape.. or a Miracle?


Today.. I had a narrow escape from the clutches of death..!


I was about to pass a Railway level cross. The moment I started crossing, I received a call on my mobile phone. As a reflex action, I took the call. It was from my office, regarding some urgent matters. Answering the call, I walked.. very slowly..as in a sleep walk.. crossing the tracks.. absent minded... without looking at the sides. I crossed the railway tracks. The next moment I heard the train passing through the level cross just behind me !

I shivered for a moment, from top to bottom....!!!

I know, I was saved for those who love me, for those who need me, and for those who think of me and pray for me... How can I express my gratitude? To HIM.. What should I say? HE can read even my most secret thoughts..HE is beside me, even when I am sleeping.. HE is in me.. What should I say to him..? I feel, HE wants me to be here .. Yes.. I am here.. For YOU..

For my friend.. with love...

Till the moment I heard your voice for the first time,
Tears were filled in my heart for you..
When I spoke to you, I felt, my heart gone empty..!
Whispered my heart, ' the real winner..!'

Your wounds were deep and open..but
You never cursed this world..!
You still loved it, hugged it, and
You owned it, at last..!

Kneel before him, the loser fate..!
Never look at his face again..
Now my friend is smiling at you,
Not a smile of triumph..

But,

A soft smile of NOBLE REVENGE..!!

COIN WITH ONE SIDE !!??

It is raining here..
I love the enchanting music of rain..
I love the cool wind embracing me..

But,
I am scared of thunders n lightnings..
I am scared of huge black clouds in the sky..

Is there any place, where
there is rain, but
No huge black clouds
No thunders n lightnings..????!

Tell me please, if u know,
About the hills
Which do not have valleys..!!!
And also about the coin having only one side....!!!

Jaalakam thurannappol..


I am opening this window...


To hug the cool wind which knocked at my window, the whole night..
To see the small birds chirped outside my window to wake me up..
To feel the fragrance of wild flowers reaching from the hill sides..


But..
Now, I am confused.. really confused..!


No cool wind outside ! ... only the sighs of those who lost their dreams..
No birds singing outside ! only the low weeping noices from half burnt houses..
No fragrance outside ! only the suffocating smell of explosives..


Wait.. wait.. for a moment..
Let me see my face in the mirror..
Just to see whether still I have a face to cry for them...!!

കുറച്ചു ദിവസമായി, പനിയും മൂക്കൊലിപ്പും, ചുമയുമൊക്കെ തുടങ്ങീട്ട്. മരുന്നു കഴിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. അങ്ങു തീർത്തു മാറുന്നില്ല.സാവകാശം മാറട്ടെ, അല്ലേ....
