When the hell will the results be published? :(

  My results for the third semester will never be published I suppose Of course that’s good in a way, but at least if it is out, a lot of unwanted tension could be avoided. Right from 28^th January, the sky is thick with rumors, and the latest news, oops sorry, rumor is that, since they had had some problem with the stupid OMR sheets, it would be out only before Feb 15^th… At least they can give some information regarding the results in Madras University’s site (www.unom.ac.in)

These Simple Things…

You want to meet Nature? Some lovely children of the North? A few interesting pets? Or some pestering ghosts? Read Ruskin Bond. I read one of his collections The Ruskin Bond Omnibus a few years back. Recently I got hold of another collection, The Ruskin Bond Mini Bus. It’s lovely, beautiful and it’s funny as well.

        It’s a collection of his stories and verses and essays, all about his favorite people and animals:  Himalayan Tales, The India I Love, A Little Night Music and Roads To Mussoorie.

        His poems are so simple and nice. Here is a small one titled These Simple Things…

The simplest things in life are best-

A patch of green,

A small bird’s nest,

A drink of water, fresh and cold,

The taste of bread,

A song of old;

These are the things that matter most.

The laughter of a child,

A favourite book,

Flowers growing wild,

A cricket singing in a shady nook.

A ball that bounces high!

A summer shower,

A rainbow in the sky,

The touch of a loving hand,

And time to rest-

These simple things in life are best.
