I tag dear Meghna, Vishesh, Cinderella and Reva

A dream

Lights on dream, only I open doors
and lead to expand through express
Life for dream, even if I workout carefully
I can’t give life to departed
Living on dream, even disperse and distance
hours after waken still last dreamed

Thinking of dream, its free lack of demand
and it’s my secret none can’t seek
In dusk, my dream gives colorful gleam
in display of firework show faraway ashore
Flowing colorful dreams and a strange feeling;
like rough waves and fear of shattering something
I still enjoying like the moment never re-turns

Dream on my dear hero; exist nearly
anytime rarely in night dreams
Tales to reality, everything wonders is dream
in fantasy everything is possibly in desires
Love or passion my dream, it lasted no more;
some rage like people disputing protest
banners and weapons, resist me dreaming
and the night dream ends eternally.

Pleasure nothing special

Traveling early morning is pleasure always, since it gives freshness in mood and views before sun dawns. The power or energy could feel as the tender waves of sun carried on body. Every time which ever progress is never disturbed, still I could count on the days that pleased waked early for travel or any other special days. Just like that a day recently happen in the 150km travelling to Sripuram, a 12km away from Vellore. This was planned that went on 6th; it wasn’t prepared if there was no urgency by my grandma to visit Sripuram where her relatives and neighbors have gone through conversion with her of the newly built Golden temple there. Something that amazes me is the National Highways 46 that connects Chennai and Vellore. It was nearly 10 years back I went on this stretch that takes hours to cross because of rough; but today it was no more than two-and-half-hours to reach Vellore. Seeing this road I couldn’t resist the Vadivelu’s comedy in film Vetri-kodi-kattu, that ‘in Dubai we could put the food on road and eat,’ that clean the roads are being. And has to congrats the highways department for giving a smooth road and the private authorities to maintain it properly without a small contour for our payment in tollgate.

Commonly Vellore is known for two. One is Vellore fort and another is high sunshine; but great time it was normal when we went. The town is surrounded by rocky hills, not broadens streets and congested shops before the CMC, one of a best hospital in India. The Sripuram is just 10 minutes drive from CMC, looking towards a green hill summit. The golden temple which is covered by gold on the structure in sum of 300 crores is located in sripuram, one of the current busiest holy spaces for many. More than gold temple, the surrounding is idolizing for its beauty with green and fresh summit with grasses, flowers and fountains. The view of the temple is in star shape, where one could walk for three km along the star way to reach the center of divine.

Existence of joy for mind when walking (me wheeling) along with cousins and parents the 3 km stretch and the boards reading beautiful thoughts either sides of the path is to give positive thoughts going through all, but I miss many messages. Keeping silent would better make us and others to put in peace and pleasure enjoying the atmosphere completely, but it was nosier of talkative walkers. We were early leaved the temple unexpectedly of fewer crowds; neither should we have staying sometimes unless we have some more temples to visit. The very useful thing the temple has is the facilities for wheelchair moving, even they have owned for people with walking trouble that helped my grandpa for reaching. One thing that disappoints me is, they are not allowing cameras inside the premises to take beautiful picture of this place.

On the way, we stopped for Jalakanteswarar temple inside the Vellore Fort. This very old temple is specially consists for its majestic rock sculpture and for lord Shiva. The fort which is maintained by Archaeological Survey of India seems important for much occupation and this temple tower visible from every distance is perfect picturing and its white coloring. The moat surrounds the fort has a small boating and garden. From there is another temple 25km away is Ponnai, a small temple inside a village. To my wonder, the streets of this village and the pass away are so neat, simple glances beautiful and could teach our city people the support of quality environment. So sadden, there was no power in batter to bring the pictures of this village. The very thing about this trip is not the destination, but the distance I covers traveling and sighting new places. Its Simple pleasure than nothing anything special.

Missing Woodlands

Oh, it was a disappointed dawn the last Saturday, where dad waked me giving a shock that Woodlands was closed late night. Woodlands Drive-in is more than a restaurant to me and the second favorite place in Chennai next to beaches. Soon I hearing the voice, moments in mind passes as images before eyes, and can’t even imagine the closed gates of woodlands, which I have never seen, where the hotel operates everyday. I was visiting there from my childhood days where I could remember and even dad used to take me there when I am only 2 years, and we often spent our Saturday evenings at the playing space inside the drive-in. In centre of the city near the famous Anna Flyover with many huge trees and comfortable parking space, the restaurant operates with little calm inside with birds sending sweet noise.

Those days woodlands means great joy for me and bro who usual go there for playing at the swings, seesaw , spinning wheels and sidings. There was a horse ride also inside the Drive-in for children safari; where we could find a lazy horse or it was very old one moves slowly a round. I was the one to get fear of horse, and have gone on it ones, but my bro has went many rounds without fear and sometimes its hard to move him from riding. These are happened nearly 7-8 years back, and I never know the playing things are still working, but the horse riding is no more. Before, I wish to enjoy the comfort people having there food sitting inside there cars, but we were without car that time; today enjoyed the food as I wished, but could not spent in those playing space.

I couldn’t take it easily that my favorite place is closed now and the only restaurant I visit and could visit is no more and can’t hope it will be reopen, because of the government decision to create a big horticulture research center and a botanical garden like the Bangalore’s Lal Bagh in the18 acres of land. When ever I think about woodlands, I could be able to visit in a week or more days, but now I can only have memories and the thoughts will never exist. Last time I was there in February for meeting our blog friend Thooya; good time we haven’t get space inside the hotel, so we enjoy the moment under trees and special is footing in woodland after a long time and in my wheels. The only dish I like more is the plain dosai, which is my favorite dish too and it is the special I think about Woodlands. Really I miss more the pleasure this place gives me. Whether the land is occupied legally or illegally, it would be glad if the restaurant been allowed to continue there with parking. I know it will not going to happen, any wish will not take back the govt. decision. I wish the garden which is yet to come won’t destroy the trees.

Comely sky

Just back inside blog, overcoming the typing problem… and will check everyone soon. On one weekday went to beach with cousin; there I had a beautiful sight of sunset which is here in pictures. This is something rarely I find the sky in colors, I don’t know whether it was the often sighted in evenings, where I come out watching sunset is not usual. Take care.
