When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what Iwanted to be when I grew up, I wrote down "HAPPY". They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfection

It is the beauty that killed the Beast
Everybody
likes to be called “Handsome, Pretty, Beautiful, Good looking, Photogenic” etc.
Everyone longs for beauty. What is beauty? You can find hundreds of definitions
for beauty, but what really beauty is? For me beauty lies in imperfection and
irregularity. What if all clouds are regular shaped, it won’t look beautiful
right? Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty
mind, a pretty heart, and most importantly, a beautiful soul
People
always say: It’s inner beauty that matters, not outer beauty. Well, that’s not
true. If it were, why would flowers put so much energy into attracting bees?
And why would raindrops transform themselves into a rainbow when encounter the
sun? Because nature longs for beauty, and is only satisfied when beauty can be
exalted . Outer beauty is inner beauty made visible, and it manifests itself in
the light that flows from our eyes. It doesn’t matter if a person is badly
dressed or doesn’t conform to our idea of elegance, or doesn’t even care about
impressing other people. The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect
everything that seems to be hidden, and like a mirror they also reflect the
person looking into them. So if the person looking into someone’s eyes has a
dark soul, he will see only his own ugliness.
Beauty is
present in all creation, but the dangerous fact is that because we human beings
are often cut off from the divine energy, we allow ourselves to be influenced
by what other people think. We deny our own beauty because others can’t or
won’t recognise it. Instead of accepting ourselves as we are, we try to imitate
what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as “Pretty” and
little by little, our soul fades, our will weakens and all the potential we had
to make the world a more beautiful place withers away.
The
appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic
and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves. That’s
the thing about inner beauty; Unlike physical beauty, which grabs the spotlight
for itself, inner beauty shines on everyone, catching them, holding them in its
embrace, making them more beautiful too. Everything has it's beauty but not everyone sees it

My One Stroke Paintings
Drawing, I take this art very seriously and passionately. I love what I do. You can't help but grow. That's not to say you don't make a mistake or make bad choices, but that's part of the art. I wnted to be a great painter. But I was studying civil engineerings. I thought I will build more houses, flats, shopping complexes etc. But I become a software tester. I don't know what is happening in my life. Again now I am studying structural engineering. I dont know the reason. But it is going on.
I done some One Stroke Paintings when I got some leisure time. If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint. But I feels so happy and I feel like I am in some other world. I can't change the fact that my paintings don't worth much in others eyes. But I recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture and I used to feel so happy to see them.

Lost Childhood
It was during sixth standard vacation, My father(Appayi) brought him home. He had small eyes, dark colour complexion, but he was handsome. He was be about 3 years elder than me. He was bare footed wearing only one dark grey coloured trouser and kavi coloured pants. His hair was not black, a slight grey coloured which was not oiled and properly cut. Myself and my brother was wondering if my father adopted him, if we want to share the chocolate which my father used to bring for us.
My father found him working in a hotel. He asked him about his family & parents. The boy told him that he had nobody to care. My father asked whether he is coming with him. This is the story behind. My father told us that he will be living with us. His name was Rajkumar, a Tamil boy. But we called him Rajakumaran (Prince in Malayalam) As he had not attended any school, my father send him to one of his friends shop to study welding. He told that it will help him in future for his survival. But one day, he stole my gold chain and ran away. Still I don't know the reason why he did that. What make such children to do such crimes. I haven't seen him again. But I came across many of such children. Each day I used to see at least one.
You may see his small delicate hands making tea in bus stands, bringing your ironed clothes from the dhobi and even at your place sweeping and cleaning some corner of your room quietly. The tears in his eyes dissolved the smile in his face . But did you notice? Or you don't have enough time to turn around and notice these silly things?India is the largest example of a nation plagued by child labour. At a tender age when they should be receiving education crucial to their development, 17 million children in India are trapped in the clutches of exploitation and abuse of child labour. Neglecting by the society, these innocent faces are struggling for their survival. Come together to eradicate this blot on the face of humanity. Empower the future of the nation. Stop Child Labour.
The next time you see them, notice them.

Love at least one among these children
The happiest people we have known have been those who gave themselves no concern about their own souls, but did their uttermost to mitigate the miseries of others.
Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go
We have neither the pretension to solve all the problems of these children nor the intention to sit down and feel sorry for these poor children, knowing that we could have made a difference in their lives
Significant groups of children have become orphans as a result of death of their parents/fathers who were the sole bread earners in their families with the result, the living conditions of these children have become worst as there is no organized, systematic and continuous financial support to them. The crucial problems faced by children, after the death of their fathers, are economic hardship, psychological setback as well as lack of love and affection. The psychological and social impact of such conditions brings a disillusioned view about life as a whole
“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one” - Mother Teresa.
Do something to help the needy today. Many people fall on hard times. They can’t take care of their families properly or pay the bills. Some people cannot even go to the doctor when very sick. As fellow human beings, it's our responsibility to help these people. There are needy people in every state, city and town. Whatever your resources, you can make a difference. Helping the needy doesn’t always involve giving money. Find a way that’s right for you. Get busy lending a hand. Show your love for your fellow man, and make someone smile!
People never forget that helping hand especially when times are tough. While feeling concern for the plight of needy children is admirable, finding solutions is even better. Children suffer from a variety of problems, including hunger, homelessness and abuse. Helping needy children can elevate their physical and emotional well-being, leaving them better prepared for adulthood. It can also leave you feeling satisfied with your societal contribution. Although you can't help every child, your compassion can have a positive impact on at least one child
