*From To Sathish* - Thread 3 - Page 40

I never knew why my fingers looked red
when i raised them over my head
And when i placed them between me and the sun
high above,white and round as a bun
i squeezed my eyes tight and tried to peek at the blazing star
and always tired of its power and went back nibbling at my chocolate bar
always,always when i had a chance and when he was covered with clouds
or when my eyes were hidden behind the dark of the windshields of a car
i tried to sneak a look and felt ashamed at my attempts
and learnt to accept the sun,round as a bun and tried to have fun
Sometimes early in the morning i can hear his growls as he waves his rays around
hidden behind some thick clouds and i chuckle as he whimpers aloud
But as always i beat a retreat as he climbs and blazes once again
sun,my mighty sun,round as a bun

Dentist: Why is one of your teeth broken?
Man: I ate a murukku prepared by my wife that was very hard, Doctor!
Dentist: If it was so hard, you should have refused to eat.
Man: Then all 32 teeth would have been broken, Doctor

Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

2. A Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and Move on.

3. Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.

4. All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

5. Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!

6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

7. When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8. A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10.WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away today's PEACE.

REDEMPTION CHAPTER 14

"She was not sure if she would want him to have known; we do not always wish for those for whom we long to know that we long for them, especially if the longing is impossible, or inappropriate. . . to be loved by the unlovable was not something that most people could cope with." -------Alexander McCall Smith

Rudran's mobile rang and he answered it " bala,i am busy right now.i will talk to you later or better still we can discuss everything when we meet up for dinner."

Balaraman " okay.I just wanted to tell you that the commissioner just called me and said that he got a call from the chief ministers office and that there was no more tension regarding this case and that i could relax now.I don't know how you managed it or what miracle you performed as usual,but it worked.see you soon."

Rudran ended the call with a smile and placed the phone in his pocket and looked at Kandaswamy mudaliyar " sorry sir.That was a very dear friend of mine and he is the reason i came to see you in the first place risking a lot by revealing who i am.But it looks like everything is under control.Thank you for making the call for it has eased my mind of its tensions.I will take leave now of you sir."

Rudran was about to leave when Kandaswamy mudaliyar held him by his hand " Rudran,please stay just a for a few minutes more for i have a request to make.I know that i am in your debt for life and can never repay what you have done for me and our family.Yet,i still need just one more favor from you."

Seeing Kandaswamy mudaliyar hesitate,rudran wondered what the request was going to be and when the man was not forthcoming and was finding it difficult to put in words what he wanted,rudran " sir,i am not sure what your request is but if it has nothing to do with my work and duty,then i will gladly fulfill it or at least try to find another way in which i can be of help.so don't hesitate and just tell me what you want from me."

Kandaswamy mudaliyar " sorry rudran,it is just that i am not used to asking anything from anybody and it is usually the other way around.I am used to getting what i want for the majority of things in this world is for sale and there is usually a price for everything under this sky.Very rarely,and i stress on the word rarely,have i come across people who cannot be bought.but then they are persuaded when i yield to their ego and subject myself to their authority.I faced some of these characters in the minister level and sometimes in the higher up government officials category.But i see you are different and that is why i am hesitating so much."

Rudran calmly smiled " you are a man of so much power and capabilities.And yet if there is anything or in anyway that i can be of help,well it will be my honor."


" You know mr.rudran,all this wealth,power,status means nothing when compared to my daughter renu.Her happiness,her safety,her future is all that which matters to me.I sometimes want to give up all this and go live quietly with my family.But my life was not meant to be what i wanted and like a goat to slaughter i have been led by my parents to this stage,where everyone envies me for all the money and power which are in my possession and i envy the peace and family life they lead.But all that for some other time and the request i have for you is that you should join me for dinner tonight at my house.I heard you talking to your friend and it will be nice if he can join you.I will send a car to your house to pick you up by 8.00 p.m.do you think you can do this favor i ask of you."

Rudran was in no mood or mind to meet or be with strangers and yet he did not have the heart to turn this mans request down unless there was something really important to do.

Rudran nodded yes " okay,i will join you for dinner and i will see if my friend balaraman wants to come along."

Renuka sat huddled in the deep cane chair,with a shawl wrapped around her and watched the world change color as dark became light and light began to fade into dark again.The song from the speakers whispered softly and her heart grew heavy in thought of her two students and the tall stranger who had come like lightning and disappeared like the very light itself.

She had never felt anything like the way she had been feeling the past few days.Some connection,some unknown power,a comfort that she felt only with her people and yet this felt even more stronger than that.She had never been in love and her parents situation had made it only worse and she had felt that all these emotions such as love.family and marriage were meant for sentimental and emotional people who could not survive on their own in solitude.

But more than anything she felt gratitude towards this stranger who had saved their lives and hoped that she would get a chance to thank him for saving them.

She heard the knock on the door and knew it was her mother " come in amma."

Anuradha came towards her child " renu,how are you feeling now."

She saw the tray with food remaining untouched " renu,you are stronger than this,much stronger than this.Bad things and worse things happen to us and our loved ones.but we just have to face it,fight it and carry on.your health is going to suffer if you do not eat properly and how will you face those two girls who are in the hospital.how will you motivate them and give them courage to fight when you yourself are acting as if it is the end of the world."

Renu looked at her mother " amma please.just leave me to myself.I am not starving but just eating very little.I need time to get over this,all this which is weighing on my head and heart and i just don't know if i will ever will.So just respect my privacy and let me be.okay."

Saying this renuka turned her face away and went back to staring at the world outside and lost herself in a trance like blank state.

The evening slipped into total darkness and the lady of the night took over the care of one half of the earth with the moon and stars as her watchmen.Renuka had slipped into a troubled sleep when she was once again disturbed from her sleep with the sounds of someone knocking at her door.

Irritated and totally fed up with her parents for constantly invading her privacy,she stormed to the door and angrily opened the door and was about to yell her lungs out when she him standing there.

He stood quietly with a smile on his lips and renuka knew then that she was dreaming for surely he could not be standing outside her bedroom door,inside her home.

Renuka stood with her mouth open,eyes wide open and then she stumbled as her tired,famished body along with the trauma that she had suffered from the horrific incident finally overtook her senses and strength and she collapsed.But like lightning he moved and held her in his strong arms and whispered " it is okay now,it is all going to be okay."

He lifted her effortlessly as if he was carrying a doll and slowly walked into her bedroom and her eyes opened up and she knew now what it was this thing they called love.She felt it like magic in her soul and she cuddled closer to his chest and inhaled his smell and for the first time felt a spark in her body and a raging fire begin to blaze in her soul.

Wife to hubby:Darling in pictures of Shiva-Parvati, Shiva has a Trishool. In pictures of Vishnu-Lakshmi, Vishnu has Chakra in hand and pictures of Rama-Sita, Rama has bow in hand. But in case of Krishna-Radha, he has flute in hand. Why is this?

Hubby:You see dear the three God's whom you mentioned first are with the wives. That is why they have weapons. Krishna is with his girlfriend. Hence no weapons required. This shows when it comes to dealing with wives, even Gods need protection.
