April Rain




Soothing whispers of a gentle breeze,

Swept amid my curly hair.

As I sat  on the porch with a cup of chai,

Bloated ashen clouds dashed into each other,

They waited to explode and turned darker by the second.

Trees swaying a welcome dance,

While the earth blew a mighty wind to greet the approaching rain,

I look up as I felt a spray of tiny beads cascading down my arm.

And there those first droplets kiss the planet.

It left an earthy aroma all around.

Then with a Rumble and a roar came those majestic drops,

Shattering the ground with force,

It created a beautiful serenade on the roof

And steady drumming on the windows.

It enriched the thirsty soil,

Making every dusty leaf glossy,

Cheerful, bright, and bold is the Rain

It calms your nerves and makes you smile

Whether you are dancing in the rain 

or watching it from a confined space

Rain will help those anxieties slip away

And water your soul with love.

Lost in Two Dimensions

  We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face.

A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...
