The years that followed were marked by a relentless pursuit of vengeance. Kumaraswami trained in the art of combat, gathering a loyal band of followers who shared his quest for justice. Muthuswami, now a powerful and ruthless figure in the village, had formed his own gang of henchmen.
The rivalry between the two groups escalated into a cycle of violence, with each side exacting brutal revenge on the other. The once-peaceful village of Thalappana was now a battleground, where the sound of clashing swords and the scent of blood filled the air. Kuruthipunal Tamilgun

Hi Isaac: There is nothing as important or worth writing about as water. Thank you for this thoughtful reminder….
Well done! Regards, Muriel Kauffmann
Hi Isaac: Neat work. ‘The Drop that Contained the Sea’ is well worth reading. I’m passing it on. Keep writing. You do it well. Regards, Muriel Kauffmann
Thanks Muriel. Hope you’re well!
Beautiful writing as always. I traveled with you and all those water stories so real and alive!
Thanks for reading 🙂 It was a fun piece to write about!
Janine and I have a son in the Angel City Chorale, who performed “The Drop That Contained the Sea” conducted by Tin last summer in England. The Chorale was joined by a singing group from EU who had been preparing as well. Christopher Tin directed a full orchestra with the chorales, and we were able to be in the audience for two of the three performances. The work is a powerful tribute to one of earth’s elements, which streams through the centuries and which cycles and recycles while humans do everything they can to spoil.

I discovered your blog by accident, and the experience came rushing back. I will read your thoughts on ecology. Serendipity.

Thanks for reading.
