I saw a dried flower in a dog-eared book,
some sepia hued pics and yellowing letters,
And a tear rolled down on my trembling lips.-
When the whole world is antagonistic
And everything contrarian
Keeping a confident demeanor
Isn't it worth an ovation-
feast on the extensive sadya, paying extra attention towards the kadala parippu and ada pradhaman and pal ada payasam and neipayasam. 😁

Wiser than a sage
Inspiring and astute
Sagacious, instilling faith
Don't you think a teacher's all this
Or ought to be if not the same
May their tribe increase and educate-
Examples given examples set
What was written was also read
Beyond what was there in black and white
To open a world of wonderment, you tried,
Not one or two but a whole lot
You gave us all a school of thoughts.-
You gave me wings
A fledgling dared to dream
You opened my eyes
An altricial explored the dreams
You guided me to speak
A pipsqueak articulated its thoughts
You imparted me the lessons
A teacher passed the crown.-
may not know everything
but opens the doors of your mind
so that you strive to know everything.-
