Silence - A poem I read somewhere

A poem on silence…. I read somewhere… written by kids…

Can’t imagine how deep a kid of 12’s thoughts could be… This one sure can express multitudes of her feelings….

Really am envy of her as to how pristine and beautiful her thoughts are…

-------------------------------------------------

Silence shines when you’re alone

It dances through the glass

When I feel quiet, silence

Tiptoes into my dreams

It somersaults through the ocean

Until it falls into my hands

Uma's Super avatar .... Super Sundari Arrives....

Pyramid Saimira Productions International Ltd (PSPIL) promises that from June it would be a time to rejoice for all the kids across Tamil Nadu as the much-awaited serial for children, ‘Super Sundari’, arrives with a bang on Kalaignar TV.

Much like the remake of the shakthimaan - girl version... :)


It would be telecast between 5.30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Mondays to Fridays from June 16, 2008.
For the first time in Tamil Nadu, a super human character has been specially created to entertain kids in the form of Super Sundari. Though aimed at children, the serial promises to appeal to the entire family.


Super Sundari is a part of the family and becomes an action-oriented human whenever there is a call for help. From being an energetic housewife, imbecile village lass and then the brave Super Sundari, the protagonist, Uma Riaz, would split into different characters through the week, churning out spectacular performances.

Mohan directs the serial with Dharmaraj handling the cinematography. Ravikumar has penned witty and hilarious dialogues for G K Gopinath’s racy screenplay. The story is by Senthamizhan.


After He-man, Superman, Spiderman, Sakthi man and a whole lot of comic book heroes, here comes Super Sundari equipped with comedy, action and of course a lot of drama with well acclaimed stars like Uma Riaz, Nalini, Oorvambu Lakshmi, Vasu Vikram, Lollu Sabha Saminathan, Crazy Kumar, Alex Pandian, Balu Anand, Chams, Aravind, Maran, Sivakumar and lot of talented child artiste lighting up the small screen with laughter and play.

Unsung Glories...

six year old kid janani walked into her contemporary duplex house with a beatific smile on her face. The reason for the big grin was clenched tightly in her little fist. A cup testifying her first place in the singing competition held in her school. She walked in screaming- "Amma, ammaaaa, where are you?" Probably amma hadn't returned from office yet. She ran to the telephone and dialed the ten digit cell phone number. "The personyou are trying to call is currently not reachable" repeatedly uttered the electronic voice. Janani called up her father's office next - "Daddy, I won the first prize today" she exclaimed excitedly

"That's good darling, now I'm a little busy, we'll talk later baby"

She hung up with a long sigh took the cup upstairs to her disabled grandmother's room. Nandana never liked the room. It smelt of dettol and had the most dull and vapid interiors unlike the rest of the house.

But the moment Nandana walked in, her grandmother stretched her arms out and said - " I knew you'd win Nandu, I'm so proud of you my angel ! Will you sing once again for your grandmother?"

And the smile that was swept off from Nandana's face a few minutes back, lit up the entire room as she sang for her grandmother.

My days with the angels - Moments to savour

Blessed are the souls who hop around the toddlers... Kids are the amazing creatures to be with. I had always envied their carefree life, without any worries or disputes. Thatpampered living void of any conspiracies, hassles, egos, hatred or tensions.

I live in an apartment complex that houses a half a dozen kids, majority of them who are so tall that, the top of their heads reach my knees. So, when the clock strikes 6, all of them rush out and well, its invited chaos.

Of late, I've been too moved with their cute simle and the way they play games. It remindsme the times i've been in one of my relatives house with around 7-8 kids during the summer holidays. During which im the one who is supposed to cook up new games for them daily and take them for go-round spins or at times a ride on my bike.

Running n catching, Hide n Seek, Red Letter, Spell the word, Tricycle Races and so many other activities. Those were the days even now i long for...

It happened to be a daily routine for me to think of new games everyday. My evenings thosetimes were spent with these lovely souls, who made me feel so young (not that I'm 60 already), happy and it seemed as if my life has been fulfilled. Their way of talking, their hoppity hoppity hop walks, their cycles, their squeeking shoes, their toys, shrieks, their grubby knees and muddy hands, their broken teeth issues and so much more. One really has to be around to capture the moment. Words fail always to describe beautiful things in the world !

I still savour those happiest moments of my life.. for thatz where i regain my strength from.Now that i've put a facade around myself as if hardened inside i still am that old soul longingfor these moments with the most gifted creatures on the world...
