with some remembers of old memories

Jeevan...Happy Chennai Week....
ReplyDeleteNice post Jeevan. Excellent words. Comparison song is very nice. Now onwards, when i hear that song, i will remember you (Dont think now i will forget you).
I too agree with Priya and Alok.
Alok,
Ya...it happens all around the world. Chennai... very modern metropolitan city. I accept that too... but what about poverty? I think, now by God's grace we dont worry about famine. Still, iam seeing child beggers, who beg for the elders not only in chennai, but in other places too. I dont hate Chennai. But, we have to consider negative things too...
Nice post...Happy Madras/Chennai Day & good wishes for the week too!
