noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Sun, 12 May 2013 18:06:00 +0000

The above poem is written in Tamil for my lovely Mom. I am translating the same for all my friends who don't understand the language.

You were my first Kiss

You were my first Poem

I give my daughter now

what you gave me once

Unconditional Love and affection

Mom, your everlasting love

is the light to my road

I ask you inane questions

even today at this age

and ...

you still answer them

clearing all my doubts

showing where I went wrong

Is this one single day enough

to write all about you ?

The Internet Saga!

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:09:00 +0000

You wanna hear what I want to say

About my new found friend, to stay

A beauty I seek , she sleeks in fit

Always with me, on my pocket she sits

She keeps me entertained on the run

She, the Internet on my mobile phone

She is my Kobo , my Kindle

My Library in a box , just simple

Oh! She is my Play-Mate I never miss

Where I exhibit my gifts and glitz

A Mario , a Ninja , as angry birds

I live in the world of mine , in silent words

Providing me the Hours of fun

She, the Internet on my mobile phone

I break and I make,

I build and I craft ,

As and when my imagination crawls.

I follow and I tweet,

I poke and I joke,

Oops! I have no secrets to hold.

A man-made sculpture all in one

She, the Internet on my mobile phone

No matter however far I set forth

You can locate my presence anywhere on Earth

She remains as an essential for my family's care

For them , I am and will always be there

An Ovation to her , lot of hearts she won

She, the Internet on my mobile phone

CHANGing THE BEAT on the last line!!

An Ovation to her , lot of hearts she won

She, the Internet on my Vodafone
Come on, just for fun :) !

Discount Coupons for Books!

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:53:00 +0000

Discount Coupons for Books!

I shouted aloud to the herd

of people , Far and Near

through Blogger words

"Where can I find one ?" ,

asked first voice in awe

"Are you Internet aware?" ,

mocked another voice there

"Ahem...", I cleared my throat to voice

Looking at those standing , questioning eyes

Lots of place like Amazon and Ebay

And for all in India, have my say

Flipkart , Tradus or Snapdeal

To your inbox , all coupons revealed

Use at your might or click at a go

You don't regret what I said so

Haha , so finally here is a poem for all that I wanted to brief out.Online book shopping is great and I must say having published two ebooks , my next work is to get a printed book available at all prominent online bookstore.

I came across a website Coupondunia delivering coupons for such offers esp. from Flipkart, Snapdeal coupons, ebay.in coupons, Tradus coupons and more. And I must say I raised my eyebrows thinking why have'nt this idea struck me before.

ShopClues is another interesting website similar to Snapdeal offering discounts for many items including books and ebooks through ShopClues coupons . Other websites include Naaptol , HomeShop18 and Indiatimes shopping which offers voucher on weekly basis and the best thing is they even provide COD (cash on delivery) for items odered on their website.

Coupondunia , literally meaning Coupon World ( dunia in hindi means the world) has almost all coupons for many online book stores .I even used one such coupon to buy myself a book using Snapdeal coupons. And as I was doing so, the above poem haunted my mind and so this post was born.

Why not try using coupons when you buy books next time?

Haunt me to Clean off the mask of Love !

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 20:00:00 +0000

Haunt me Clean off the mask of Love !

I waited this day for so long
To be immersed in silence
and his warmth of love all along
The face so relaxed but feelings intense
His sweated lips and his preying eyes
His manly smell haunts my bodily sense
The moment that I deeply craved arrives
But , I hesitated to reciprocate back
Oh No! Not today , I looked pale
There is something that blocked my approval
On my mind , one line seemed to haunt and yell
"Oh how I wish I had opted for my hair removal "

He didn't know to read my mind
And so he thought I was very shy
He took my hand to his with a touch so kind
Weaving a smile of self assurance by
To assure his love and his insight
He sent a wave of his manly might
To prove a girl , the love of a guy
But all I need now is to let out a cry
Only then, he noticed what I was up to
With twisting legs and clothes that drew,
My hands concealed what that grew
For a minute he stared at me as if he got the clue
Running in his mind were again the lines ,
" I wish she had opted for her hair removal "

Haunt me to clean off the mask of Love !
Bring the confidence to the power of now
With amounts of signal sent to and fro
And within hours of clearing the mess that grows
Now , I am a woman shining with confidence
To steal the attention of my man back to the show
He entered with the same smile and pinned
his look , neared me and whispered an invite
" So divine you are , shall we .... " he grinned
Signalled a sign to redeem what we left that night

Blog Post Title: " This shall also pass " My entry for the Get Published contest

The last few hours of labor pain gave what mankind never can imagine to replicate.Showering smiles and life down on earth is a baby that still clung to its Mom's placental flesh until a mortal hand cuts the bond giving the baby its own identity - An identity that is free to decide her future

Concept of the Story:

Love happens suddenly when you really don't expect it. And as for her (our lady), it happened when he (the hero of this story) least expected it from her. A simple phone call turned out to play a massive role in their life.

But what is unknown to them is that their families who were far relatives had other plans for her within his family. Her parents has already finalized her lover's brother to be her future husband. What follows is how she and he handles this unexpected situation in their families.

Adding to the old saying ,"You can do a marriage by telling a thousand lies ", it was only One Lie which played as a medium to restore back their struggling love ."This shall also pass" will be a story of a young woman who pursues her love nonetheless she knew that the path she chose to reach her love is full of thorns.

Will she succeed in her love ?
Will their family will be the same again after what had happened?

Only pages of this story will tell ...

Inspiration of this story is derived from a real life of a couple

Music as I have heard of Micheal Jackson - King of Pop

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 22:21:00 +0000

Music as I heard when I was young is forever the one I always cherish.This is true not only for me but most of you out there.Being born and brought up in India, Tamil songs always holds a special place in my heart and choosing a special one from the long list is hard .But when it comes to English songs ,I have a priority list .Who can deny that the great pop legend Micheal Jackson inspired me a lot through his music albums .

One thing I have to say about him is that most of the songs (apart from wooing girls) are related to a cause.I loved his Heal the World and Earth song which is necessary in today's scenario .I love They don't care about us (for the drums), Remember the time (wow,the animations ) and Billie Jeans(again for music).How would you engage yourself in is Ghost album? Freaky Creepy dance moves, isn't it .

Below is my amalgamation of most songs by this King of Pop

Who is it?

In the closet

Little Susie ...She's

Another part of me

from my Childhood

Give In to me

In the Break of the dawn

by the Lady in my life

Dirty diana

Now we are Just good friends

Remember the time

Her Scream

Her Cry

Threatened my Privacy

Oh Man, She drives me wild

Now,She is out of my life

I cant help it

Heartbreaker

But,as for my baby

Baby be mine

The girl is mine

Whatever happens

Can't let her get away

Who is it ?

I'm a Stranger in Moscow

Without Money

Too BAD

Street walker's

They don't care about us

We Come together

Back from History

Man in the mirror

Keep the faith

Wanna be starin'somethin'

at least for my Little Susie

I just cant stop loving you

Her Smile

The vision Blood on the dance floor

Left me Speechless

The Lost Children

Betrayed bySmooth criminals

Fly away

Oh! Heal the world

Black or White

Don't walk away

Come Together

Sing the Earth song

This Time around

Recipe for Cuppa of Coffee

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:40:00 +0000

A cup of coffee is all we need

The master of chemistry sniffs

the aroma that arises from within
a teaspoon of brown caffeine.

To make the bitter brown better,

another teaspoon of sugar adds in

Two contrasts appear in one cup.

The mixture yet needs to be blend

For two opposites to blend in perfect,
all we need is the love of white milk.

That evening,as I indulge in my brew

I swallowed what I call real life
that the recipe for a cuppa of coffee offered

Each piece of my home relates to
that one cup of life with blended Love
And whenever, I sniff the aroma ,I smile

Life is nothing but a recipe of cuppa of coffee

The Death Of A Soul - Poetry cum Video

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:56:00 +0000

Ruptures left by molestation

cease to seal , her pale cut skin

She hides behind the framework

of her ripped bones

Like carpel of Seville orange,

she confines herself under the rind

A worm coiling herself safe

from the eyes that quest

She is in trauma impending

The death of her soul

Molestation everywhere,

on the road , on the way

for her looks and words she says

Her gleaming flesh , a child's play

Her tears now seemed passe

None to daunt or dare

the tauting mob that preys

Metamorphism at its last stage

The cocoon seemed heavy

She needed justice, not questions

She broke the shell one last time

and out more confident she came.

Her only weapon is her feminism

She chose to fight skepticism

This damsel in distress ,

anticipating solace, her only need then

whose saviours came after damage done

She still holds on, awaits her justice

for more colleens out there,

looking up to her conducts.

" The death of a Soul "

is just the beginning ....

She Chose To Fight
She Chose To Fly

Healthy Care , Wealthy Hair !

SHAPE POETRY - DOVE ME INTO LOVE

Healthy Care , Wealthy Hair !

Warning ! they gave straight

Something was not right

Hands reach out to my hair

Itching and Scratching

To a point I can't bear

Beset , they tumbled

Hairfall happened

as I brush my hair with comb

Clutching its teeth, detached ones smirk

Making me jump with a jerk

Slowly dandruff erupts the surface

Like earthquake, scales flakes

Dryness has invaded my scalp

Initiating the itching back

Thinning my stems with split hairs

Making me more vulnerable to care

I have to restore its balance

Assembling things of Importance

Alternating Shampoos made problems worse

I had nothing to do but just curse

Leaving me in perplexed silence at last

Slowly reviving memories of the past

" Eat Greens, Carrot and Beans
And use lukewarm water to clean

Eat two Egg Yolks a day

Try the yellow on head some day
Use Hibiscus , Aloe Vera and Milk
They make your hair shine like silk

Apply oils everyday to moisture your hair

These routine makes your hair, a sure care"

These voices sounded inside my head
The words that my Parents and Elders said .

A last try , I finally made

And realised the truth that stayed

Today I have crossed thirty plus

I have no complains nor do I fuss

Except for the silver threads that peeps about

Yearning to scream my age out

No dyes I use to color my hair truly

For I chose to Age Gracefully

Hairs, still an important body part

Have their own unique age chart

Growing along with us, thick and thin

Protecting and Nourishing our skin

Sluggish when down and Shining as they grin

Hairs predicts our Health from within

I am pleased to write a poem

about an Healthy Care

that delivered me a Wealthy Hair

...and that was the end of my hair problems!

Men loves Women who takes pride in looking after themselves be it in the way they dress, their approach to a problem, being a solution provider and by the way she ties up her hair , clean and neat .A little of primping and preening she does makes her hone her personality as well as boosts her self-esteem.

They always feel that there is a pleasure when their girl's hair brush their face invoking a soft love in them.May be that's why Men mostly prefers Women with long hair with a tangled or a cascaded look which adds to a women's femininity. Adorning them are the flowers and embellishments making Hairs , a symbol of beauty.Bridal Hair - makeup are an essential in every marriage existing from decades till now.Such importance is given to the Hairs .To have a beautiful hair is no secret now as we see lots of products and ads on the same that promises for a better hair.Even lots of natural hair remedies have been published .We need only one thing - Time to spend caring for the Hair.

In today's scenario of extreme climatic changes , pollutions and development of new diseases, Hair do gets affected easily. Being the shield for our skin and scalp , they are the ones that are afflicted first.Sun, on the other hand damages our hairs so easily that it fades our hair colour, creating dry and brittle hairs with split ends that easily breaks of.So it is necessary to take care for our hair.The below are few things that have proved to be beneficial for hairs .

Using Shampoos with SPF
Hairs like our body soaks up some heat from the summer sun leading to dehydration.Extreme heat are vulnerable to the hair causing it to dry and making it brittle.So using products that has UVA and UVB filters will help protect hair from the sun’s harmful rays.A little SPF in shampoos would always be better to protect my hair.

Shield the Hair
We tend to use stylish sunglasses to protect our eyes from the UV rays and other harmful rays from the Sun.Similarly, our hairs on our head also needs to be covered from the hot sun.Wearing a big floppy hat when I am outside esp.on summer helps protect both my hair and my face. I always plait my hair into a bun or tangle them with a hair-band on harsh weathers to minimize the attack of my hair to half .

Apply ample Oil to the Hair
I have made this a weekly routine - a Grandma's home remedy .Applying Oils especially Coconut oils is proved to help growth of my hair since it nourishes the scalp from deep within.A simple massage with oil during head bath helps the circulation of blood throughout the head which in turn makes hair long and strong.It also protects the hair from dandruffs which occurs due to dry scalp.

Minimise Caffeine Intake and Say No to Alcohols.
Research has showed that persons who frequently drink caffeinated products or alcohols tend to have their hair aged soon.Caffeine consumed via food and beverages enters your bloodstream, and eventually reaches your hair follicles (as researched by Livestrong ).A little caffeine is beneficial for promoting hair growth but excessive intake of caffeinated products delivers our hair to age soon . Avoid Alcohols too since we have known of its side-effects already.

Maintain Moisture
Exposing the hair to Sun breaks down the hair's protein 'keratin' which is the building block of the hair.Using a deep conditioning treatment with protein or keratin helps keep the damage by the sun to a minimum.Vitamin E which encourages blood circulation to the scalp area when combined with a high quality leave in conditioner makes your hair silky soft, manageable and non greasy.Always use lukewarm water for your hair.

Maintain an Healthy Diet
Healthy diet is always a part of every Mom's menu.A lot of greens , fruits and vegetables helps restoring hair to good health.Salmon , Carrots, Nuts, Drumstick leaves, Eggs, Milk ,Fish , Broccoli and Spinach are best for initiating hair growth.Drinking more water helps hydrate both the body and hair thereby preventing it from dehydration.

Invest in a good hairstylist
Your hair is your entrance slip to a beautiful face.Hairs can be arranged to give a differet outlook using combs, a blow-dryer, gel, or any other hair products.Different styles include Bun, Bob cut , Cornrows, Crop, French braid, Pigtails, Ponytails and more.Never try shy to experiment your Hair with different looks or colors.

Know your Hair

In the market , there exists different types of medications and shampoos for different hair problems.Like a doctor prescribing a certain medicine to a particular problem , one should be hair aware to know which solution works best for his or her hair.Unless the right medicine is in place, even the best brands never give the desired results. Always stick to a routine, update your feel of the hair and stay hair aware.

I have been following the above steps as my hair care routine and thanks to the Hair -Aware app by Dove that made me understand my hair. I was made Hair aware and chose the product that works right for me followed by healthy diet .My Hair's choice was Dove Hair Fall Rescue .Today , I am very happy of the results achieved since there is no more worries of hair falls or dandruff .... and that was the end of my hair problems!

The Light grew brighter

making them appear glossyflossy

The morning has woke them fresh

Books were arranged on their rackcot ,
Seamlessly beautiful .

They stay clinging together

finding peace with their same flesh

until the tentacles clutched them in between.

The door has opened .

Bookworms came in and out

Picking and Embedding them back

Few tossing them around , flipzflap

Here , There and Somewhere

Up O'down they swing

between hands, laps ,wood and leathers

Till their owner find a comfortable place.

The room was getting tanned

It was time for them to relax

The tentacles finally released them

Shoving them as they departed ...

One book had a story of

how he felt the breathbreez

and the other shared of how he met
the drizzles with words through and this

The third said of thunder storm,

Being crushed between the little fingers.

The Fourth came to them half torn.

And few parted to a new home.

The Time has come to an halt

Books were again back in place

On their Rackcot for rest-time

Seamlessly arranged ...

Puddles - a painted poem

The above picture prompt from The Mag and using prompts from Poets United
Jagged/Smooth & Lack /Abundance .

As translated from the Tamil poem I wrote above for the same

On the jagged path of my eyes
like an eyelash you crossed
making smooth foot prints
to build up deep Puddles

On the surroundings that lack life
I see inside my eyes ,
Abundance of growth...
Are they the product of the tears you sowed ?

Is it true that "A failure is the stepping stone for success " ? Whatever your answer maybe , it is only you who holds the determination to make the Vice-Versa - Failure to Success

Knowledge

Books, papers and Magazines

In and out

and all about

Stuffed into head

Painted eyes red

She hungs on the door knob

the mask she wore

No more I want to look

pretended or

act smart

I have had my share of small fame

so lame , it went and came

I smile when someone barks

I stay calm as life gets dark

But ..today

just a day

I am what I am

messed up

freaked out , no doubt

to show my true self out

I like getting dirty

It made me free

It's me

the real she

for tomorrow again

I need my mask to hide away the stains

Through the Eyes of a Poet - Contemporary Poem

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:41:00 +0000

Newspaper Poem

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Sun, 20 May 2012 11:08:00 +0000

Newspaper Poems : I found this to be an interesting and innovative way of creating poems. A Newspaper is bound to have vast topics and selective words.And to write a poem out of it, you have limited access to words and also are exposed to new words that might find interesting places in your poem.You don't even know how your poem is going to turn out.And the final outcome of you poem really surprises you .

Inspired by Poet Austin Kleon who invented this form of poetry using newspaper articles from the New York .He used the New York Times as an unique canvases for creating his verse which led him to be a famous Newspaper blackout poems ( this is where he used to strike the rest of the words with his black pen that don't form the poem).This is very unique that ,we have no options to interchange the words (I will post the same later in this blog).The below is what I did to make out a Newspaper Poem

Take a Newspaper and circle down the words which sounds interesting to you on it.

My Newspaper
Now , cut the circled words from the newspaper and keep aside.
Then, carefully arrange them into neat sentences
Now, your are ready to make your own Haiku or Rhyming patterns or even any other form of poetry
Finally take your camera and click your the picture of your poem
The Output

This is what I came up with ...arr..it surprised me though ;)

Children , I find likes to play with puzzling around the paper and this type of poetry arrangement or say game will expose kids to poem and new words.The newspaper acts as a scaffold and Children with can the words directly in their poem. They would find this technique worth exploring including those who want to explore poetry forms ...Yay! I enjoyed it really :)

Happy Mothers Day !

A POEM FOR THIS SPECIAL OCCASION

FOR A SPECIAL PERSON

EVER IN MY LIFE

The Original

Wild Imaginations !

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Sat, 12 May 2012 23:46:00 +0000

I wanna live inside a Tree, Mommy

Please do tell me how to build one

Oh!are you talking about Tree house,Honey

We can find them on the wild forest , my son

This was my Mommy's answer

but I seeked something better

No Mommy, I am talking the real one

See, a real house inside a tree,

Oh!how wonderful it would be

To have a house deep down the tree

The other side of the world I would see
And learn about the wonders created around me

I started to sing and strolled around my garden

With my wandering mind and my mouth organ

I wonder where do the rabbits hunts

and finds their sweet orange carrots

I want to explore the marvellous merits

that made the seeds grow with strong fronts

I have also read about the pirates living in the sea

hunting for treasures in lands and in trees

If the insects and birds can make home on trees

Why cannot I build one just for me

As I sang , suddenly my head started to spin

And I saw what I could never imagine

I saw tall magnificent door on a tree

I pushed myself in and led myself free

I slided down by some strange stairs

And deep deep down ,I flew on air

Monsters snore, I guess they are asleep

I ran , I ain't no dinner they would keep

As I crossed them, a weird pathway evolved

which had the snakes and ladders riddles to solve

That's my luck , I finally passed my test of strife

which lead me to the weirdest thing of my life

In front of me, stood a beautiful house

where I was sleeping tugging my blanket close

I slowly went near and touched my head

And that's the last thing that I had did

I awoke from a wild wild dream I ever had

That made my imaginations to thread

Oh! How I wish again to see inside of the Tree

Stroke my imaginations wild , Break me Free!

Double-dactyls - Little Tommy Tucker

noreply@blogger.com (Uma Maheswari Anandane) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:56:00 +0000

A New week and a New form. Along with the picture prompt from Magpie ,I am clubbing today's NaPoWriMo about writing a poem using Clerihew or Double Dactyl form.I also learned how to write one from NaPoWriMo's .I choose to experiment with the later since it was the one I have to work on with this time.

What is Double Dactyl?

A double dactyl consists of two four-line stanzas which are brief, usually satirical poems.
The first through third lines of each stanza must be six syllables, in the form of double dactyls (Stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables).
The fourth line of each stanza is only four syllables long, with no particular meter requirements but it is essential that the fourth lines of each stanza should rhyme.
Finally, the first line of the first stanza is usually “Higgledy-piggledy” or some other repeating non-sense, like “Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake.” (Note that both “higgledy-piggledy” and “pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake” are in the double dactyl form )
One of the lines should consist of a single, six-syllable, double-dactyllic word (like “idiosyncrasy”).

Prompt Picture with Double - dactyls

Little Tommy Tucker

was in the jam bottle

under the magic spell

of his white Book

Incontrovertible

he grew inside bottle

I tried a hand to write a double- dactyls which I believe to an extent satisfies the above rules expect the meters in it.On a final note , I enjoyed writing this one :)

Such a wonderful nature!!!

Wondered I!

How the patience filled her face

under the storm of wrath .

She has learned the secret

of who she was....

I wonder why?

Such beings still exists

Admist the crumpled world.

She smiled as if she read my mind

Her eyes...

Oh My, had such a power

That she, without a word spoken

told me

It's no wonder

the way she is now, Tamed.

The oldest observer

has learned Life

The way it should be

She gave her warmth and love

which reflected back to her

Give and Get is the policy!

for a wonderful Life

Life is so wonderful!!
Never regret being born for you will never know what exactly is called a Life : )

Temptations unknown
Infilters my thoughts to probe
An Experience
