GOD'S OWN COUNTRY-KERALA (POEM)

A land, tranquil and calm,

greens, bushes, trees of palm,

with weather, delightfully soothing,

and drizzles, so refreshing.

Those tall peaking hills,

topped with blooming daffodils,

flowing  streams of purity,
a rare sight of beauty.

seeing those lush green paddy fields,

sitting on hay chesterfields,

swaying its way, like music

letting one go rhythmic 

A scented breeze of this state,

resides in its women innate,
blessed with beauty,

serving nature with harmony.

The sight of golden sun rays,

escaping across dawn, along the seaways,

like God's blessings from the skies,

to mitigate away our agonies.

Undoubtedly a land truly lavished,

grown, nurtured and cherished,

No wonder why all agree,

this is God' own country.

--> Sulaiman Sait

 A couple of weeks back I was at Kerala to attend a research conference and this poem is solely written after a great time I had there.Beneath, Im sharing some of my pic's that I happened to clink during my short and productive stay there. Also my research paper (which I happened to presented there) won me a third place at the national level conference ..

with a group of young boys who helped me catch a fish.
