To my son - Raising a cow

 Cows are gentle animals who are affectionate, emotional, and intelligent. 

Having cow in our home brings wealth and happiness. Farmers love cow as their family member.

We did had cows. When i was studying first standard your grandpa came up with an idea of raising cow in home.

Carpenters were called and shed was build along with small cement tub for feeding cows.

We were very excited about the arrival of cows and my dreams were filled with cows 🤣🤣🤣

The day came and in a small tempo came with two cows... a red one and a white one.

Both the cows were scared of the new place and even we were exited we didnt went near.

Your grandpa ordered hay bundle....groundnut cake and cotton seeds for their feed.

The caretaker mixed in correct quantity in the tub and the cows after little hesitation started drinking it.

To make friends with the cows we slowly give haysticks to them.

Slowly they used to be friend of us.

Your grandpa came up with the naming of the cows. The red one as laxmi and the white one as saraswathi resembling the goddess.

Laxmi is very attached to your grandpa. The first hay bunch should be given to laxmi by your grandpa. Otherwise it will protest and not eat anything.

Your grandpa has to hug laxmi several times and make her eat.

Whenever your grandpa goes on duty few days laxmi will be very dull and when she hears his sound back home it will make sound ...maa... until he visits and hug her.

After comming from school watching cows was an interesting hobby.

Even in the morning busy to school we go and say bye to cows 🤣🤣🤣

After sometime laxmi gave birth to a little white calf and your grandpa named her as gayathri.

The cute little calf was like you and became a playmate to us after comming from school.

It was a beautiful memory for us even now. Your mother and myself had a idea of having cow but space constraints restricted the idea.

Maybe next year we can have a cowshed in the outskirts and you can visit them in weekends...

Let's wait.... 👍

Who is your best buddy

 Best buddy is the one who always being around you, follows you and team up with you.

A best buddy is someone that is so amazing and is always there for you. 

They are always there when you need them. 

A buddy is a friend with whom you share secrets... love to hangout ...and have good fights...

I have two best buddies in my list prioritized. One is lord ganesha and orher one is lord anjeneya....

Ganesha is like கைப்பிள்ளை... Whom i call whenever i need...  either i am happy or in tension or when dipressed...

Whenever i have worries i can share it with him which gives mind relaxation ....  During exams he must study for me and help me write iin a good way...😂😂😂😂

When i am angry i can scold ganesha mildly without wounding him and can say a sorry to him.

When you are happy you can share your joy with ganesha...hug him in your mind and be happy.

Lord anjeneya is your partner when you have bigger tasks in front of you keeping him in your mind makes the hard tasks easier. Elders say that anjeneya does not know his strength. But he can easily accomplish the hard tasks once we tell him you can...   keeping him as your partner...you can cross any obstacles in life easily.

Remember he crossed the ocean in one leap with sanjeevi hills with medical herbs.

Apart from this you can have best buddy in school...

A boy who is not selfish...who doesnt uses you... never leave you in difficult situations... always stand for u can be a best buddy for u.

Think several times before choosing a friend and dont leave him ever.

I have friends for more than 30 years and still friendship continues without any expectations ...

That will be a good part in your life.

Chennai returns to normal life

 During the covid lockdown life was unimaginable. Everyday night i used to walk in the road near CMBT Bus station.

I will be lone person walking with sometimes crossed by police patrol vehicle.

It gives a mixed feeling like i am in a military zone or myself landed in an alien planet.

Only relief is some odd vegetables trucks going to koyambedu market which gives hope that we are in our city only.

In    the early mornings we can    see few vegetable vendors going quickly for their purchases.

I wonder how busy the road  in  front of CMBT bus station throughout the night and day. It was like world came to an end and i am    the lonely survivor wandering.  Sort of Big screen Hollywood movie came in front of me.

The loneliness made be stronger and self dependent.  Every dog in that road became a friend of mine.

Life changed in a way like speaking to a human is a stressful activity. Silence is sweet.

After few months lockdown    was released slowly and it was difficult to mingle with the crowd as i was living a lone ranger life.

Slowly Chennai got back to normal mode and our life got into regular routine.

Still there is a confused state and little hesitation    in    moving around. I dont understand is it a strange phenomenon in myself only or it is a common    state for everybody.

Anyway thank god that people get into their regular chores and the city is busy with traffic jams.

Stand up Chennai....all the best
