DATE PALM TREES @ DOHA

THIS PICTURES ARE SENT TO MY FROM MY VILLAGE FRIEND MR SANDHU FROM DOHA.
I HAVE BEEN TELLING HIM TO POST FEW PICTURES OF ANY KIND IN HIS BLOG AS IT IS EMPTY.
BUT THE BOY SENT TO ME THE PICUTRES AND I THOUGHT TO PUBLISH IT IN MY BLOG.
AND I AM DEDICATING THIS PAGE SO MY FRIEND MR SANDHU WHO LIVES AT DOHA, QATAR.

THIS TREE IS GROWING ALL OVER IN GULF. I USED TO PLUCK DATES AT MUSCAT WHILE I WAS JOGGING.
MUSCAT YOU CAN DATE PALM TREES IN ROADS, PARKS AND PAVEMENTS. TENDER DATES ARE VERY TASTY TO ME.
WHEN HE SENT ME THIS PICTURES I HAD THOGHT ABOUT MY DATES AT MUSCAT. I KNOW THERE WAS A DATE PROCESSING PLANT AT NIZWA, THE INTERIOR TOWN OF MUSCAT, OMAN.

I THINK I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ANY THING ABOUT MUSCAT, ITZ BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, LAND SCAPES, ROCKY MOUNTAINS, CULTURE, HERITGE ETC. I HAVE LIVED IN GULF FOR ABOUT 22 YEARS.
IN FACT I DO NOT HAVE LATEST FOTOGRAPHS. I HAD ONCE REQUESTED MY ORKUT FRIEND SAPTHA and CYNTHIA from muscat JESSICA AND KERALITE FRIEND ARAVIND ETC.

I SHALL TRY TO PROCESS A PAGE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE IN MUSCAT FROM THE YEAR 1973 TO 1993 AND LITTLE LIFE AT DUBAI .

SOOTHING BREEZE

this poem is sent by one of my orkut friend "raindrops" who is from kannur, kerala. now doing masters in computers and networking at bangalore.

soothing breeze is blowing with fuss
singing river is frothing with joy
twittering bird is feeding her kid
squirrels are churing with its fellows
but somewhere someone something
a small, a little a something
there's something
missing in my eyes
a turn to my bleeding heart
i realize its chillness its stresses
a turn to my tiry eyes
i feel its lonliness
i feel its thirst
i feel its urge
wandering in reach of the blue eyes
a reaching for the caring eyes the blue eyes
miles to go and miles to go for it
even then i go for him
filled with doubts,filled with ease
full of love full of affection
stranger with harsh saying
saying all about him
both of extremities-harsh and nice
to which to stick to
to which to stick to
still a soothing touch to the one
still a greeny feeling to the one
still a caring love to the one
to the oneto the one
i seek for
to the one i long for
its only then i understand my thought
my ideas go for the one whom i seek for
its only then i understand my longing
the sharpness of my eyes
the everlasting bunch of love
but...i enjoy my curiosity
i enjoy my search
eventhough it is a melancholy
a sweet, soothing melancholy
