    Let the dead be  buried….

    Let the legacy continue forever

  [A homage to the UMBRELLA man of kerala]

We saunter in the sun, day in and day out, for some reason,                                                                                                                                                       Bothering not, for once the scorching heat or its abrasion,                                                                                                                                                                   The moment the skies show up their gloom in retaliation,                                                                                                                                                                     We despise the rain faulting the nature for wrong reason.

A fourteenth century invasion, protects us from their fury,                                                                                                                                                            Dressed in black absorbing the heat, answered the outcry,                                                                                                                                                           Fashion and passion, when the  walking was the only way,                                                                                                                                                             Saving from the heat and rains, umbrellas had the final say.

Time is precious, so is human life, fresh rains brings all ills,                                                                                                                                                                Kids and the elderly always at the receiving end, with pills,                                                                                                                                                                 The savior that umbrella is, saves many from hospital bills,                                                                                                                                                                      The heat that blisters thy skin too, saved from many perils.

Downpour of vehicles in the last century, ushered in stealth,                                                                                                                                                        Parasols parading the beaches and stole the show at length,                                                                                                                                                      Umbrellas a rare sight, occasional rains aiding their breath,                                                                                                                                                            Here was one who popularized the umbrella from its death,

This man from s   outh led to its renaissance in right earnest,                                                                                                                                                         Designs and models, all had a sea change suiting the latest,                                                                                                                                                            Paraded with unique Nano catching the eyes of the cutest,                                                                                                                                                                        Public at large, kids, took them to their heart with real zest.               

The seed he sowed had blossomed into a tree and growing,                                                                                                                                                                 The great visionary breathed his last, the legacy is brewing,                                                                                                                                                           History says, legends are not born, hard work is rewarding,                                                                                                                                                                 Rich tributes to the umbrella man, rewards notwithstanding
