Taking Drill

Someone expressed their feelings in this beautiful post.

I couldn't help but feel that a military cadet takes drill (and Extra Drill punishment) in the drill square to pass their Drill Square  Test and earn a lanyard.
 

Long live the Republic

O full moon of the Eve:

When moonlight melts

From you tonight 

On my country,

Be partial to the

Lonely, dark bunkers

There yonder.

Drench the bunkers,

With sparkling light.

O rising sun

Of the Republic Day:

Be partial to the

Freezing heights yonder,

Give those that cling

To difficult ledges,

And ice-walls

Warmth and hope,

Give them a fistful of you.

Long live the Republic! 

Holiday

 

Till recently I didn't know that my reusable table calendar had an option for the day of the week as HOLIDAY.

After I discovered this, as a retired person, it has become so easy for me to change the dates. I always keep the HOLIDAY option on, whatever the day of the week. And, the good thing is that this really works.

Love dilates like Time

 

Love dilates like Time

When you go away

To another star,

To another Universe.

Love, like the speed of light,

Is the same in all the frames,

I'll age a bit when you return,

Will my Love age too?

Batter

 

What is common among a good dosa batter and a good cricket batter?

Both rise to the occasion.

W0W!

 

Recently, when the 2nd Test between SA and India was going on, the Indian wickets were falling like skittles. It was just W0W!

That's how the ticker below was also showing: W0W.

W0W, or, Wicket No-Run Wicket.

When did the story start?

 

When did the story start?

When was the first star born?

When was the first wish born?

There is a whole galaxy now,

There is a whole universe now,

The wish is now

Bigger than the wisher,

The dream is now

Bigger than the dreamer.
