Poem | கலாமிற்கு சலாம்

Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

கலாம் எங்கள் அப்துல் கலாம்
சலாம் எங்கள் சலாம்
பாரத அன்னையை வானத்தில் உயர்த்தி
பறக்க வைத்த கலாம் - எங்கள் கலாம்


ஏவினார் விண்ணில் கலம்
பூமியில் நின்றே கலாம்
பாரத மண்ணின் புகழ்
உலகிற்கே உணர்த்திய கலாம் - எங்கள் கலாம்


முதல் குடிமகனாய் மானிட குருவாய்
தீபத்தை ஏற்றிய கலாம்
எழுபிறவியிலும் பாரதத் தாயின்
மகனாய் பிறந்த கலாம்
காலத்தை வென்ற கலாம் - எங்கள் சலாம் 


அப்துல் கலாம் அவர்களுக்கு ஆழ்ந்த இரங்கலுடன் - சங்கீதா

    Pranaams (and salaam) indeed to Kalam-saheb. A brief few weeks past he was at Erunakulum for Gurudev Sw. Chinmayananda's centenary celebration; he spoke at length.. but you may like this snippet.... Respects. YAM xx

    Very nice tribute to Kalam! His lose is irreplaceable but not his dreams... And he had left it for us pursue and transform it into reality.

Chitharal Rock Cut Temple & Jain Monument

Image
I am much interested to say about one of my favorite places Chitharal Rock Cut Temple or Chitharal Malai Kovil (ചിതറാല്‍ പാറ കോവില്‍ in Malayalam, சிதறால் மலை கோவில் in Tamil). I have more things to share with you about it. I came to know about this place by my wife. She was a teacher of Excel Central School, Thiruvattar. As a study trip she has taken her students to this place. According to her information my self and colleague planned to have a trip on Sunday here. Actually we planned to start at 6am, because of some reasons we became late. So we started our journey at 7.30am from Thiruvananathapuram. There are many ways to reach here. We selected the way Marthandam-Attoor. From Marthandam we sent our vehicle to Kulasekharam road. When we traveled 4 km, we reached Attoor junction. From there turn left to go to Chitharal. Again we traveled 2km to Chitharal junction. Locally this temple is known as ‘Malai Kovil’. We traveled about one more kilometer from the junction. It w

Thirparappu Waterfalls and Mahadevar Temple

Image
Last week to spent our holidays we visited the place Thirparappu/Thriparappu (Malayalam: തൃപ്പരപ്പ്, Tamil: திற்பரப்பு).  It is famous for a great waterfall and a sivalaya temple.  Commonly the waterfall of Thirparappu is known as ‘Kumari Kuttalam’ (Kuttalam is a famous waterfalls in south India, Kumari itself Kanayakumari).  We knew only that much information when we started the journey. We started our journey from Trivandrum through Marthandam, Kulasekharam via Thirparappu.  When we reached the place Thirparappu junction we had the confusion because the main road is splitting into two.  Right side road had the bus service and the other not.  Which way we are suppose to choose to reach Thirparappu.  To avoid the confusion there is a arch in the left side road to direct the people to waterfall.  We sent our vehicle through left side.  Commonly the waterfalls may not be found in habited area. But here we traveled through the residential area.  Within few minutes we reached the spot and
