The Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Almighty created
The world to live in peace and harmony, joy and plenty!. But alas!
Countries and people avaricious and belligerent on the basis
Of religion, borders, castes and creeds and strike at others! Miserable!

September Eleventh attacks a series of four coordinated terrorist
Attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States
On the morning of Tuesday, September Eleventh Two Thousand and One
Resulting in three thousand  short of three fatalities, over Twenty Five Thousand
Injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences, in addition to about
$Ten billion in infrastructure and property damages!  SINGLE DEADLIEST
Terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters
And law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with Three hundred
Forty Three and Seventy two killed.72 killed respectively.

Four passenger airliners which departed from airports in the northeastern United States
Bound for California were hijacked by nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes,
American Airlines Flight Eleven and United Airlines Flight One hundred and Seventy Five
Crashed into the North and South towers,, of the World Trade Center complex in
Lower Manhattan. Within an hour and forty two minutes, both Hundred and
Ten-story towers collapsed. Debris and the resulting fires caused a partial or complete Collapse of all other buildings In the World Trade Center complex, including the forty seven-story World Trade Center tower,and significant damage to ten other large surrounding Structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight Seventy Seven,  crashed into the Pentagon In Arlington County, Virginia, which led to a partial collapse in the west side
The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight ninety three was flown toward Washington, D.C.,
But crashed in Stonycreek Township, Pennsylvania, passengers thwarted hijackers!

Suspicion quickly fell onto al-Qaeda. The United States responded by launching the War on Terror Invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which failed to comply with U.S. demands to Expel al-Qaeda From Afghanistan and extradite their leader Osama bin Laden. Many countries Strengthened their anti-Terrorism legislation and expanded the powers of law enforcement and Intelligence agencies to prevent Terrorist attacks. Although bin Laden initially denied any involvement, later he claimed responsibility for The attacks. Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives. After evading capture for almost a decade, bin Laden was Located in Pakistan In two thousand eleven and killed during a U.S. military raid.

Destruction of the World Trade Center and nearby infrastructure seriously harmed
The economy of New York City- had serious effect on global markets. Most unfortunate!
Time to end such attacks forever in any part of the Globe!

June 15th- WORLD ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS DAY

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day - CNPEA

Today’s Twenties are tomorrow’s Forties, day after tomorrow’s
Sixties! Sixties and above designated as ELDER! None living
Can avoid being an ELDER and the attendant abuse sure
Better to be aware and prepare to protect- simple and pure!
Abuse by the youngsters at home, youngsters outside  both are possible
Abuse by nature -health problems a source of abuse horrible!

In Tamil it is said: முற்பகல் செய்யின் பிற்பகல் விளையும்”
Whatever we do earlier, we shall reap it later! Let us not abuse
Elders when we are young! We shall suffer  as we become elders!
Not only let us not abuse elders, but go all out to be of use and help!
Elders suffering on the road, let us rush to be of use and assistance
A way indeed to show our respect for elders known or unknown!

SOCIETY SANS CELLS!

Image result for Image of a cell phone on hand while speaking

CELLS are inevitable in the present day society all over
CELLS seem to be dangerous species- of course not human cells ever
Society sans Cells-small rooms in Jails confining convicts for life
Atrocities and criminal activities will grow, world becomes a HELL

Different days were there when great leaders like Mahatma and others
Were confined to cells for years by the cruel British- freedom struggle
It was- Andaman cells classic! Cells of today with criminals galore-
Unfortunately true and inevitable for the society’s security.

Andaman  cellular jail

CELL-LESS hands hardly one comes across today- a technical device for
Effective communication has taken its monstrous proportion

Image result for Image of a two wheeler driver with a cell phone on hand

Mobile phone use while driving  cause distracted Driving and crashes.
Due to the number of crashes  related to Calls on a phone and texting While driving Thousands of death take place all over the world.
Society sans cell phones-a safe heaven!

Image result for national consumer day 2019 theme

Customer Delight, Customers are Kings, Consumers are supreme
Are the slogans we see and hear -here and everywhere all over
Obvious experience is consumers are taken for a ride
Denying their rights unfortunately they remain simply tied!

December Twenty Fourth today is National Consumer Rights day
Has a specific theme. On this day the Consumer Protection Act
Nineteen Eighty Six received the assent of the president.
A historic milestone in the consumer movement in our Motherland.

The day to highlight the importance of the consumer movement
And the need to make every consumer aware of their rights and
Responsibilities.provides consumers with effective safeguards
Against different types of exploitation-defective goods, deficiency
In services and unfair trade practices. Let us with efficiency
Guard ourselves, making use of the Act and Laws in our interest!

MY DEAR MAN!

Image result for Images for AGAINST FELLING TREES

Oh! My dear man, my beloved kith and kin!
You and me are created by God, the King of Kings!
To coexist, cooperate, help, live and let live.
That you are stronger than me does not give
The right and license to you and to your ilk
To annihilate me and my family who for sure
For nothing in return, provide you shade, air pure
Fruits and flowers of different tastes and hues!

We live in the lap of Mother Earth as you do
We breathe, we grow, we help, we serve sans ado
We need no shelter, but provide the same to the poor
We need no home but provide homes to million birds
We need no air from you but serve the same to mankind
We need no food from you but we give the same to you
We nurture no ill-will, nor envy your growth and joy!

In turn, on any flimsy grounds you chop our head and hands
Mercilessly annihilate us and our tribe for thy selfish reasons
Oh man! Think awhile before you take your axe!
On one side, you plant my young ones in hundreds with fanfare
On the other, kill us without rhyme or reason quite unfair.

You and I are created by God, the King of Kings!
That you are stronger gives you no right or license
To destroy our tribe for your selfish needs
None but we, condemn your ugly deeds.
Spare our lives for your healthy lives
Share our concern with your lovely friends!

WORLD REFUGEE DAY June 20th.

 Every minute 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror

In a way I feel we are all refugees sent by the creator Almighty
To this world for a temporary phase-but our lives made  worthwhile rightly!
But real refugees are unfortunate people becoming refugees
Due to external reasons-very miserable and atrocious to the core!

World Refugee Day marks a key moment for the public to show support
For families forced to flee.June Twentieth today is World Refugee Day.
Every year is observed with different themes declared by United Nations
This year’s theme is Global Compact on Refugees.indeed very important one.

It calls for investment in communities that host refugees to help ease
The pressure on the host and to help refugees become self-reliant.
Some important quotes on this:
Albert Einstein: “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything”

Kofi Annan: “I urge you to celebrate the extraordinary courage and contributions of refugees past and present.”

Anne Frank: “How wonderful it is that no one has to wait, but can start right now to gradually change the world! How wonderful it is that everyone, great and small, can immediately help bring about justice by giving of themselves.”

Martin Luther King Jr: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

EVILS OF FRAUD

 

Image result for images of thiruvalluvar

Unfortunately the society is beset with frauds and fraudsters. The following are Ten Thirukkural Couplets translated by me into English. Wortds of wisdom that came from Saint Poet Thiruvalluvar more than 2000 years ago: This indeed the u8rgent need of the hour!

1.
Indulge not in fraud
If not to be insulted
Guard from evil deeds!                                                 (281)
2.
It brings awful woes
Very thought of defrauding
Coveting others!                                                           (282)
3.
Wealth through coveting
Disappears in no time
A sin – demeaning!                                                       (283)
4
Fruits of fraud and greed
Though seem sweet, bring bitter woes
Attempt and get freed!                                                 (284)
5.
To show love and grace
Is not the wont of a fraud
He covets and falls!                                                      (285)
6.
Whose life uncontrolled
Go with love and lust for fraud
Get bad uncontrolled!                                                   (286)
7.
Those who know their strength
Know well the evils of fraud
Indulge not a length!                                                    (287)
8.
Fraudulent mind stands
As a virtuous thought holds
Hold to virtue strong!                                                   (288)
9.
Evil thoughts bring doom
They sure suffer and perish
Shun fraud, avoid gloom!                                             (289)
10.
Fraudulent falls sure
Liability on earth
Heaven greets the pure!                                                (290)

RAJIV DAY! May 21st.

Image result for Rajiv Gandhi as PM

Birth and death are the inevitable aspects of all beings -human
And animals, plants and trees! Death of the humans thanks to -God of Death
And his ways are inscrutable indeed. Death by the terrorists’ bullet
Hindus or Sikhs or Muslims indeed condemnable and lamentable!

Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi all Indian greats
John Fitzgerald Kennedy-American President-all victims of terrorists.
May twenty first in Nineteen Ninety one cruelly killed in Chennai
For political purposes- atrocious and obnoxious.

Rajiv Gandhi the sixth Prime Minister of India for five years
Took office after the murder of his mom, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi,
Most youthful Indian Prime Minister at forty; was killed in
Tamil Nadu’s Sriperumbudur,addressing open gathering in help
Of Lok Sabha candidate when he was slaughtered in a suicide
Shelling. most youthful PM of India at forty after his mother
Previous Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed;
Let us pay homage to the great youthful leader Rajiv Gandhi!

SUPREME SACRIFICE DAY-18th March

 

Image result for image of the group of our soldiers slain in Pulwama recently in lying down posture

World thrives on the sacrifices of thousands of its sons and daughters
It is for the world to remember and follow their foot steps and serve!
Sacrifices for the family, society, nation and the world
In any form or mode- sacrifices sure deserve honor quite bold!

Eighteenth March is today National Supreme Sacrifice Day
To honor those who made tremendous sacrifices for the sake
And the good of others as well as those who sacrifice their lives
Every day for us.! The men and women in uniform who have lay
Down their lives protecting their country and communities. And those
Who stepped forward during times of crisis to rescue a stranger
Or a neighbor and gave the supreme sacrifice now and then.
These sacrifices don’t come in uniform  often remain unsung.

An assassin is sung today- with a temple for him and books published
As inhumanly planned by some at the  Center! The assassinated
Getting into oblivion- a paradox we see here in our
Holy Motherland India that is Bharath! Let us arrest the trend!
