The old magic mirror called -
Snow white, the most beautiful;
When I saw me in mine,
My mind said 'beautiful'.
But the wings of Time broke,
That mirror of mine, and
The many pieces lay scattered,
Each reflecting each part,
And calling me out as-
An angel and a devil,
A hypocrite and a saint;
And thus goes the list....!
Here goes an attempt to pick up 8 of those broken pieces.....
1.I am a lover of flowers... Whether it is jasmine or rose or lilly, those sweet smiling faces attract me a lot.
2.Laziness forms the predominant aspect of my nature...am so idle that I used to take up things only in the last minute..
3.Ice creams lure me too much despite soar throat. In fact I believe a scoop of ice cream is the best medicine for a soar throat!!
4.I like listening rather than talking...in most cases I forget the talking part..!
5.Relationships value so much to me whether family or friends...it is impossible to think of a Christmas day away from the family.
6.I don't like to miss even a single chance to walk in the mizzle (though it is sure that the fever will overpower my joys shortly)
7.I have the habit of scribbling the thoughts as they come to me...so a pen and a paper are two things I can't live without.
8.I like the various scenes of nature....especially the dawns decked with the dew filled cobwebs!

ഒരു മഴക്കാലം!
തകര്ത്തു പെയ്തോര വര്ഷത്തില്
ഒരു വഴിയോര കുടക്കീഴില്
ഒരു പറ്റം മനസസുകള് ഒത്തുകൂടി....
മഴതുല്ലിതന് കിലുക്കത്തില്
ചേര്ന്നു കുലുങ്ങി ചിരിച്ചും,
കതോരത്ത് കാറ്റു മൂളും കിന്നാരങ്ങള്
പറഞ്ജോന്നു പന്കുവച്ചും,
ഓരോ മനവും വീനലിഞ്ഞു.
പെയ്തോഴിന്ജോര നിമിഷം
യാത്രയായി കൂടനയുവാന്,
പറഞ്ഞതും പറയാനുള്ളതും
നനുത്തൊരു മഴക്കാലതിന്
ഒര്മകലായ് മനസ്സിലേറ്റി...
ഒരിക്കലും നിലയ്ക്ക്ആതോര
പുതുമഴക്കാലം തേടി......!!!!

Toby & Timmy
Little Toby appeared extremely happy that day…..his long cherished dream of going to school like his sis Timmy was to be fulfilled shortly.. The initial part of the admission process was almost over. All through the day Toby had been boasting about his new school with great excitement….if someone happened to cross with him…that would be the end.. He or she would be given a shower of rather ‘big’ words from that sweet little mouth. But since a bit of anger made that face all the more cute everyone kept on irritating him…n he kept on telling “nan veroruucham skoolil povum”!!!
Timmy the Teacher
By noon Timmy returned from the school n without wasting time she took on the role of Toby’s teacher. She tried in earnest to teach her little bro the way to wish a teacher, the way to answer questions like ‘what’s ur name’, ur father’s name, place name etc… The initial excitement on Toby’s face was no more…n he looked rather bewildered n puzzled. The problem was, before getting the admission he had to encounter an “interview”!! The' sis-bro sessions' continued throughout the afternoon hours…n the atmosphere remained calm except for certain occasional shrieks n fights….
The Performance
After supper the whole family gathered together n quite obviously Toby was the centre of attraction.. Timmy the teacher began the questions….n Toby answered them one by one so quickly n so intelligently that the audience literally fell into tears coz of excess laughter. After answering each question that usual triumphant smile appeared on Toby’s face….from the audience’s response he presumed that the performance was really good. But Timmy’s face was getting darker n darker as she passed from question to question…n finally after Toby answered the last question the teacher-cum-sis furiously took him to the room And ….am sure anyone can guess what might have followed….dishum..##%#@>..dishum…@$#%..,dishum!!!
A glance into the question-answer session::
Timmy: How will u wish ur teacher???
Toby: Thanku!!
Tim: What is ur name??
Tob: Maa name ich… hmm….Aluva..!!
Tim: ur father’s name??
Tob: gud morning!
Tim: What wil u say when ur teacher give u chocolates?
Tob: Tobias Joseph!!!
