The women who made heaven on earth

Talent is what you possess and genius is what possesses you' Here meet this women who gave meaning to her life by planting more than 300 trees. She carried pails of water on her head and shoulder for distance of four kilometers to water the trees planted by her and her husband chikkaiah.Thikkamma was the reciepeint of many prestigious awards(National citizens award-1995,Indira priyadarshini vrikshmitra award-1997,veera chakra prashasti award-1997 and a certificate of honour from the welfare department( W&C) karnataka and a certificate of appreciation from the Indian Institute of wood science and technology.
All these were feathers of her crown with which she grew to fame but none of these provided her what she needed the most in her oldage.Though we say trees provide us with shelter. tikkamma struggled with her lonliness till the awards and certificates and trees blurred from her vision and she flew from her heaven on earth to the garden of eden.

The forbidden veil

It is a shame to talk about love-jihad in a country like kerala which calls itself 100% literate.Hindu and christian girls finding solace under the hijab and burkha are going missing to untraceable regions of either syria or tehraan and recruited to IS.

At 11 a.m a tall and fair women with a little plump figure,came sporting a little smile that the tender leaves would feel when the first drop of rain falls on it, her eyes with a little dark circles held secrets as deep as the sea and as she sat before me placing a small peice of paper with her date and time of birth. i watched her with not much curiosity and fixed my glance to her horoscope details.                                                               After studying her chart, I lifted my eyes and saw a face swelled like a rising sun and waiting to burst into flames.....There was anger,fear,frustration and emotion all put in together in a young women called merlyn. I looked into her moist eyes and asked her just one question "How many times did you think of a divorce"? she looked at me unbelievably and trying hard to not break do
