Nothing is impossible

I vowed and prayed to carry 'Pal Kudam' which is the act of carrying a milk pot on your head and walking all the way up to the top of the cave today. It all started on a quite morning and the roads were empty and the temple had hardly any people. To my suprise it should had been crowded that Saturday morning.The mode of Thaipusam was quite though.
But to my luck that day all went on very well indeed. My aunt followed me and climb those stairs.The last time she went up those very steps were 22 years ago. So this time it was a challenge for her to climb those 272 steps again with her current health condition. Somehow she managed to climb up and we didn't realize we actually took only 45 minutes for an average person like us to reach the top of the cave entrance. Of course we took our time on each steps and I was chanting "Vetri Vel Muruganaku ! Arrogaara" which indeed gave me the strength to to climb without much of struggle on the 272 steep steps to the cave in that early wee morning hours .
To my suprise I managed to compelete it and there were no worries as there were no obstacles for us to be slow or delay to pay our respect to Lord Muruga. I was though worried about my aunt as her legs always had problems but with his blessing she made it up there.
In cave ,at the main shrine ,there were very few people in queue so we managed to reach there on time for the "Abhishegam". Most of the devotees there were also carrying " paal kudaam" and some carried "sugar cane" where the husband and wife will carry the sugar cane with a cradle where is baby is carried.Both couples will carry the weight on their shoulders to pay their gratitude as they are blessed with a child after so many years . 
More were coming up though, the crowd was building.We were blessed as we had a good darshan. I was happy and I know I always had his blessings.
I felt strong and lighter in mind and soul at the end of the day.Thankful to my grandparents, who are so devoted to Lord Murugan that has thought me a proper view of the my own religion. These are done devotedly through strong beliefs and pure heart.

The Train and An Elephant Story

Image
If you are hailing from the 3rd biggest town in Perak state known as Teluk Intan (Teluk Anson or Teluk Mak Intan, will surely know the story of this Train and the elephant. I remember growing in this town which has a train station which not there anymore. I do remember when the traffic is halted to the traffic when a train pass by. When I was 6 years (987), I went on the train ride up Tapah. Now the nearest train station would be either Tapah or Bidor. I guess it was closed down in 1989. The remains of the station buidling has been renovated and now being used by the driving school. The tracks are missing, but i doubt many are left. I remember the times when I cycled to school (1998) through a short route which crosses the old train tracks which are not jst covered with scrubs and bushes.But now I guess those tracks would be completly dismantled off by people as you can get good money from the metal or iron if you trade in at the junkyard. But the gate is still there, preserved t

A Proud Tamizhan !!

People tend to believe in science then realistic of pre historic findings. Why these were not applied when research was done. There are many hidden clues within India as i believe all the while. What about the herbal statue of Murugan in Palani that was made by the saint Bogar which contained great medicinal values. But it was slowly being sold to the world who is researching the value of hidden secrets. We the tamizhan's are the owners of our culture, legends and language. If we start digging we would fine a lot of surprises that we would not be able to imagine as it all started from 20000 years ago by the Tamizhan and English only came 800 years ago and which stands the top. Similar to apes which were existing far before the human’s and apes are the oldest living beings. What is valued is neglection? Why letting strangers to take hold of what belongs to us. Why are we selling ourselves make our money. Not knowing the value of what we are holding. If you start to research eve
