கிறிஸ்துமஸ் வாழ்த்துக்கள்!

Once again it is Christmas time.
A time to remember
God's gift in His son and
in all of you my dear friends.

God is said have taken
human form in Jesus Christ.
Humanity is elavated to
the levels of divinity.

That is the gift
of incarnation.
Let us try to respect
humanity in all its shades,
especially when it is poor,
exploited and endangered.

Let Jesus be born
in you and me.
Through you and me,
let him bring the gospel
of the Kingdom of God
here and now.

Happy Christmas and
A Happy New Year!

Life can give us a hundred reasons to cry; but friends can give life a thousand reasons to smile!

If you wait for happy moments, you will wait for ever; but if you start believing that you are happy, you will be happy for ever.

Nadanthathai aayiram murai yosippathai vida nadappathai oru murai yosi... vaazhkkai un kaiyyil.

Making a million friends is not a miracle; the miracle is to make a friend who will stand by you when a million is against you...

Mudiyum varai muyarcchi sei. Unnaal mudiyumvarai all, nee ninaitthathu mudiyumvarai.
- APJ Abdul Kalam

Fear creates the hurries which makes worries. Boldness creates victories which makes histories. Dare to do your best.

Beautiful photos are developed from the negatives in a dark room... So when you see darkness in your life, believe that God is preparing something beautiful for you.

Never reject anybody in your life. Because good person gives us happiness and bad ones give us experience. Both are essential.

Sometime in life we run so fast that we don't notice anyone running with us. We notice them only when we fall and they stop to pick us up. They are called friends.

If you fall, don't see the place where you fell, but the place where you slipped. It is the secret of success.

Good friends are those who care without hesitation, remember without limitations, give without expectation and love even without communication.

Musings about a Musician from the coast...

My father, Arulappan Bhagavather, classically trained musician, was a rare combination of music and drama. In his days, there was no play back singing. And so the musicians were preferred for acting also. That gave him entry in dramas of Kalaithozhan like 'Jodippurackal.' He even tried to join Cinema Company in Madurai. But his mother went all the way to bring him back. But that could not keep him for long and thus began acting in local troupes. He even conducted public recital in village and other programmes.
He learned music from a teacher who always dreamed to teach music to the talented ones even from coastal villages like Erayumanthurai, our village. That teacher's name was Azhoor Muthayya Bhavather.
