Happy Pongal 2016 Poem by Dr John Celes

May the sugarcane's sweetness
Merge with the milk's whiteness,
Harvested rice's freshness,
Turmeric, spices' goodness,

And boil over the pot's brim
-A sign of gratefulness,
Filling hearts with happiness
And lives with richness,
Bring a future of brightness,

Charm and cheerfulness,
Living with cleanliness,
Curing every illness,
And usher a life-span of greatness.

‘Wishing All A Very Happy Pongal! '

From Dr. Prof. Celestine A. Raj Manohar MD
