SUNSET

I wake up, every morning

Watching the bright Sunshine

A little hope for a brighter day...Everyday

I walk down the road, across the river,

Following my shadows...!!

I see faces, Faces that doesn't Smile,

Express happiness with deepest sorrows in their heart.

I see clouds in the sky...ready to fill the shadows of darkness in our hearts.

I see hunger, so as the starvation,

Sufferings of the children, with no limitations.

I hear whispers all over pleading for help,

But my hands are tied and I am helpless.

I see the raindrops, feel it, touching my heart.

And when the risen sun spreads the bright day light,

Silenced by the clouds, making it numb and helpless,

And the Sun disappears, giving us the darkness.

What remains...a handful of sorrow,

With wetness in their eyes and wounded hearts.

Now, I see that the day has ended,

Sheltering and covering me with the blanket of darkness,

The world is still out there,

Facing the Sunset, Settling down their lives.

With a ray of hope for a better tomorrow,

...And I am Sleeping...

Hoping that the Sunset would bring,

A Better Sunrise Tomorrow.

"Dedicated to all those people who fight against their odds to have a better life."

Note: The original poem was written for a competition. When I am publishing it in my blog, I have made some changes with the words and lines.

The Changing face of my WORLD....

Pls note- This blog is not designed to hurt anyone in anyways. It is just to convey my concern about the people around the world I live.....

The world is changing so fast, so as the rules and regulations in the country. No safety for the people. Everywhere we hear serious issues in which the ordinary people are facing. The basic necessities of the marginalized and the ordinary people cannot be fulfilled. The infrastructural development in the country is going backward. The recent example is the collapse of two fly-overs in Delhi. It took 1000's of life.....still the rehabilitation works are incomplete.
With special reference to the Kerala, the things aren't different. The only thing is that no big bridges are not collapsed (many bridge construction works are still moving like tortoise). Either the contract for the construction is extended after every elections or the project itself is canceled.
Regarding the rules and regulations of the state, only the few law-bearing citizens are abiding by the law... Some of the violated rules are mentioned below:-
1) Not wearing a helmet while riding a bike. Even though the people know that it is for their safety.....
2) Not putting seat belts while you are in the car.
3) Carrying more than the required number of people in bikes, cars, auto rickshaws, buses etc
4) Driving with alcohol consumption
5) Rash and negligence driving especially by the private city buses.
There are a lot more things in which the safety and security of the ordinary people is under the scanner. My task is to identify all these anti-human and publish it in my blog so that the people around the world respond to it.

The social worker has a major role to play in the eradication of all such activities.....

Flower of Tears

"It seems life is hard....                                 

My thoughts r different...

which doesn't match up with the world outside...

When the time comes...

which is decided by the person up above the sky...

Either, I will be a match up for the people outside...

Or..With a flower of tears, I will be standing alone.."

Credit Card anyone???

EXCELLENT ONE..........

Banking --customer service!

This is hilarious!!! .

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die.
This is so priceless, and so easy to see happening, customer service
being what it is today. Anyone who has dealt with an estate will agree
with this.

A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and

March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added
late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been
$0.00, now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to
Citibank.

Here is the exchange:

Family Member: "I am calling to tell you she died in January."
Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges
still apply."

Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."
Citibank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been."

Family Member : So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"
Citibank: "Either report her account to frauds division or report her
to

the credit bureau, maybe both!"

Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?" (I really liked
this part!!!!)
Citibank: "Excuse me?"

Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you - the part
about

her being dead?"
Citibank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor." (Duh!)
Supervisor gets on the phone:Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you,
she died in January."
Citibank: "The account was never closed and late fees and charges still

apply." (This must be a phrase taught by the bank!)

Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"
Citibank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?"

Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew."
(Lawyer info given)
Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"

Family Member: "Sure." (Fax number is given)

After they get the fax:
Citibank: "Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what
more

I can do to help."

Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could
just keep billing her. I don't think she will care."
Citibank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply." (What is
wrong with these people?!?)

Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?"
Citibank: "That might help."

Family Member: "Odessa Memorial Cemetery , Highway 129, Plot Number 69."

Citibank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"

Family Member: "What do you do with dead people on your planet?

(Priceless!!)
