Brothers

-

 

Having brothers is in itself a special boon

Rest assured that you are never all alone

Especially when you feel so down-down

Just tell them - they retrieve you again

 

You might have fought like cats & dogs

But, when it comes to stand against others

No-one can break the joint of brothers & sisters

Shield by unleashing each other's bests 

 

There are little moments of downs & drifts

There are others where we clasped wrists

Somehow, we did walk the same pathways

Through all our good-bad, ups and downs

 

You guys mean the most to me

May your birthdays reopen your lives with glee

Let it fill with benign abundance whatever it maybe

I wish I could be there with you as much as I could be

Duped on the name of Patanjali

Duped on the name of Patanjali Once Shubha’s father was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), she had plans to get her father Ayurvedic treatment. She didn’t want him to go through tedious dialysis process for life. Shubha left an enquiry on https://patanjaliwellness.com for her father’s treatment in Dec’23. In no time, she got a call from 6261568491 .  It's a mystery, how someone could get her number if she has dropped an online enquiry in Patanjali's website. The person identified himself as Dr. Vijay Pratap Singh. As directed, she submitted her father’s medical reports to him. He discussed the case pretending to be a real doctor. He confirmed that the treatment is possible and mentioned that the yoga center has dialysis facility as well. He kept on following her on the phone. In Truecaller App, the number appears to be Patanjali's. See the picture below, it shows as Patanjali Ayurved Pvt. Ltd. or Patanjali Haridwar booking center These fraudsters have saved all

The Hair-loom

 The Hair-loom My grandpa Ramakrishnan had a floor mill. The mill had a Shikakai (seeka) grinder as well. Dried Shikakai, Amla, Ritha, hibiscus etc. were ground together for washing our hair.   Those days people seldom used shampoos. This powder was part of every household in the KGF town. Every Sunday morning was a hair bath day. Panjamani Atthai* or Panjattey worked in our floor mill and washed our hair every Sunday with seeka. Being the youngest, I was the first in queue followed by Rohini akka* (Chittappa’s daughter), Madhangi akka (Gowri Atthai’s daughter) and Selvi akka (Mathi Atthai’s daughter). After a long hair wash with sneezes and burning eyes, the hair was rolled up in bun with thin towel. Next, it got fumed with Sambrani smoke. Then, I drank kashayam* as shikakai cools the body and I caught cold easily. All of us sat in a row to get a small plait on our head crown leaving the rest of the hair free called as thenneer jada*. It resembled the flow of a water streak fro

Hope

  Hope…   We step out with teary eyes For everyone’s rejoice Minds with infinite dreams Surround us with walls and circles   A rollercoaster of ups and downs Carries ripples of rosy streams Even in unfathomable abyss Heart beats yearn for peace   Sometimes it's just you Still, you are there for you In melancholy, toil to be happy Open up to see what you savvy   Every precious moment of today Hopes for a better tomorrow in array It does matter how we leave and live by Leave in a symphony of harmony   With teary eye, we step out Breaking the circles and walls Living up or leaving hopes In an unknown unseen bout    - Saranya
