Umasree Raghunath Poems

Life is a bank
Family and friends are fixed deposits
ups and downs are current accounts
god gives you loans of struggles
...

deivam thandha veedu veedhiyirukku
indha oorenna sondha veedenna njaana pennae
vaazhvin porulenna nee vandha kadhai enna
...

A writer's mind is a clear slate
Like the child who began to write
The painter's brush is a little mouse
That runs as it finds its ruins unknown
...

Gone are the British giving us the Freedom
Left are we with the mercy of stardom
Politics in India is no more a fare play
End to this ideology should soon come one day
...

Sankranthi, the synonym to the light from the sun
With the glowing days, radiant rays and unending fun
Bhogi burning away the evil, old and bad from hearts and homes
Pongal restarting the new recipes, new things and new hopes
...

It's a great time for real fun
As the ACES BMI started on the run
Towards the Hills of Nilgiris
To touch the sky and dew drops
...

Dad, it's been years since you reached the other shore
But not a day passes with you sharing my thoughts galore
Suddenly I find you walking beside when my steps lag behind
Your shoulder on mine, when I decide to sit and cry in hide
...

When I slip in pain
I do not know where to disdain
All my happiness revolved
Around one single soul
...

When life was a storm
You came in it with calm
Took over the hush and gloom
With a definite direction & charm
...

Waiting to meet my future husband

Few days from now,
