Moana (2016)
Just as I am writing this, BBC News confirms that some parts of Hawaii are under three feet of snow. A study by NASA just confirms that “it is no longer a question whether the West Antarctic Ice sheet will melt, it is a question of when”! In case you wonder what all this has to do with a Disney princess movie, read on…
(more…)Weathering a Storm
I am jittery as I write this. My hometown Chennai is in the news for all the bad reasons. For those of you who are living under a rock, this is one of Indian metropolitan cities. Wikipedia might be able to give more stats about the population and other stats.
(more…)The Flower
From the barren land
Will rise a Kingdom
Where this story shall be told.
A small fortress of green
Shall sprout from nowhere
Holding a spirit divine.

On a delightful spring day,
When I noticed a flower blooming.
I decided to wait and watch

Forever under nature’s power
A force so overwhelming on my solitude;
A bliss unknown – unfolded to me!
