I born in a village which is very near to Kauveri river and a channel (used for irrigation). Eventhough I don’t know swimming, I like to go often to the channel and river with my grandma during weekends. Since the channel is very near than the river, We used to go to channel very often. Kauveri will be with full of people during festive times like * Aadi perukku, * Thalai aadi (aadi 1), * Chitra Powrnami and in some other tamil festivals.

 

You are Lucky!! Aren’t You?

If something goes wrong, I feel I’m not lucky. If I’m getting any misunderstanding with my colleague or any problem in my career, I feel I’m not lucky. If I’m not allowed to buy anything what I want, I feel I’m not lucky and the list goes on.

But sometimes, when I see people like an ambulance driver, I feel ashamed. If I cross an ambulance when I travel, I’ll suddenly go away or close my ears (If I’m not driving 😉 ). Because the sound makes me feel sad. Think of an ambulance driver whose work is to drive ambulance. He’ll regularly hear the patient’s or his/her relatives humming, noise, ambulance horns and more and more. Will it be possible for him to go away with that sound. He don’t have time for recreation. Even if he is in happy mood, I can’t hum a song while driving. Nothing would be possible.
