peacock dance

here is a picture of a beautiful peacock in our frontyard,dancing to the tunes of the morning bliss!it looks divine to see them fan their feathers,and converge them in to a single pony like plot. all mornings they come near when i put kolams,flies over and sits on the coconut tree in our home.for the first time when i heard them "coo"i was deeply shocked of hearing because i was imagining it to coo like a cucukoo.then i thought, may be,God gives people only a single best trait!,only a few good souls are lucky enough to get all traits at the best!.

supportiveness factor expected by a woman!

As we talked about the sacrifice of a working women in raising up their family,kids,economical status etc, there arises a question of getting support from her man.once i read an Q/A page from Kumudam Snegidhi "when a women feels her life miserable?" the answer was when she is not understood or supported by her man.her chance of winning is reduced to 50% when she lacks his support and understanding.i dont know whether its true or not.

A tribute to all working mothers!!!

Its been 26 years of strenous effort on behalf of my mother Meenakshi to bring me to the position of today.i am always indebted to her.when i was born my granny could not take care of me because she was too weak and old.i grew up in a Creche,in others arms yearning for my mother to be with me.she narrates me how i would cry circling her neck asking her not to leave me to ayya,how i was poorly taken care by others,fell sick,and sang all day "meenay,meenay meenaamma" remembering her while she was in office.she used to bribe me icecreams inorder to make me stay with a baby sitter.

sanskrit language and translation

sanskrit is found to be the first existent language in the section of indo-european languages, and English is just a derived language from primitive German after passing many local languages, which are lost now mostly.
a language scientist by name Grimm found out that sanskrit was used to derive english words. for eg

1] bhrata or pratha = brother
2] madhya = middle
