Andal Perumal




A long time ago, there lived an alwar called Peri Alwar. His job was to put garlands around each lord's neck. One day, a baby was born near a Tulsi plant. Peri Alwar took the baby home and named her Kodai. When Kodai grew up, she loved to listen to the stories of Krishna. One day, Peri Alwar left for the temples to do pooja. He had already did pooja to lord Krishna and put a garland around his neck. Kodai was left home. She felt bored and wanted to talk to Krishna. She asked some questions, "Can you play with me? Can you grant me wishes? And, can you come to me? Please say something!" She said. "If you will not respond I will put your garland on." She put the garland on. Peri Alwar entered the house and was furious to see Kodai putting the garland on. "Take it off!" He shouted. Kodai sadly took it off. Peri Alwar placed a new one. A voice said, "I only want Kodai's garland!" It was Krishna! Kodai and Peri Alwar were shocked. Kodai replaced the garland. Suddenly, Kodai was dressed in a beautiful saree. Peri Alwar said sorry and Kodai and Krishna got married. From that day onwards, Kodai was named, Andal Perumal.🙏


Maargali thingal madi nirainda nanalaam
Neeraada podhume poduminor nerizhayeer
Seer malgum aaipaadi selva chirumeergaal 
Kurvel kodinthozhilan Nanda gopan Kumaran
Eraandha kanee eshodai izhan chingam 
Kaarmeni chengal kathir madiyan 
Pol mugathaan narayanane namake parai tharuvan
Paaror pugazha padindelo rambaavai 

(This sloka was written by Andal, she only wanted to marry krishna and so wrote this sloka.)

Thunder & Lightning

Lightning is that which intimidates,  But thunder is that which wishes  To follow lightning.  That is to say,  Thunder follows lightning's path,  But reaches a different destination.  But thunder can be far more intimidating -  You don't need to see it to believe it.  But aren't we told to not blindly believe  Whatever we hear?  For all we know, the "thunder" we heard,  Could just be the bark of a very large dog.  But lightning is something we see - But can we believe everything we see?  Perhaps the lightning is just  The lights, somewhere in the sky  Fluctuating.  But if we can't rely on thunder  Or lightning  What if they're both played together?  Though thunder always follows,  Never leads or walks beside,  Surely, we can believe  If we see it, and hear it.  But how great could the coincidences be?  No, to believe it, you must feel it -  And not just a mere ink...

true friend

  The rain fell from the sky,  Drenching all of us together.  I held the umbrella, waiting for them to join, They took it, and went away.  One or two of them turned to thank me,  But none of them stayed and asked me to join. I stood rooted to the spot, staring at the puddles,  Staring at my reflection, wavered by ripples. Raindrops or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew they'd left me all alone.  The sun, blazing in the sky,  I sit under a tree, hiding in the shade,  And they all come to me,  Sit beside me, sweet talk me,  Slowly push me away.  Until they're all crowded together,  Laughing merrily as I stare;  Left under the burning sun, back on fire,  Sweat or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew I didn't want to be right there.  The sky was beautiful, the sunset painting a scenery,  As I watched from the balcony, eyes wide with surprise.  And they all came to me, fooled me with charm, As yet...

Happy New Year!

Hello, 2026,  What do you have for us?  We're all optimistic -  And we're almost experienced. I'm ready for the long list of resolutions  That will either last a week or fade away. I've met your predecessors -  Big titles, a promising index  But the font becomes smaller and less denser  As the pages turn.  And I hope that this time,  The chaos is funny  The change is useful  The evolution is forwards. You don't need to be perfect -  We just need enough light to find Our lost things Ourselves And our people.  Without panic.  But anyways, I'll try again -  A new journal, new diary,  New planner, a neater handwriting -  It wouldn't hurt to try, even if I might fail. But make sure to knock first  Before barging in - I prefer a slow fade in  Rather than a flash.  And however it goes,  Please give us a good story,  Lots of happy memories,  And the best of friends.  Dear 2026...
