7am Arivu!!!!!

Saw 7am arivu ! 

These are the thoughts that flow in me when i think about the movie! 

Many people advised me not to see the movie, suththa bore, vendaamnu sonnaanga! still something in me made me see it! And I was right. I liked it, with the flaws! May be its not suited for all types of people. Of course, each has a different expectation while going to watch any movie. 

Now let me share my views ... 

The first glaring flaw was that of the songs which were inserted for commercial purpose. Totally unnecessary yamma yamma kaadhal ponnamma and munn andhi charal nee songs.. nice when heard separately, though!

Shruthihaasan suriya-oda relatives paaththu yen oliyanum? Theriyaadhunu sollanum? What's the point? Shruthihaasan directa suriya kitta poi solli puriya vechirundha padam blanda poirundhurukkumo? Dunno! But I see these as loopholes. 

Yaana mela ambari type of scenes could have been edited chuk chuk without question. 

Generally any art field u consider, the concept of guru bakthi will be instilled strong within the disciples. I've seen such in dance, martial arts, music etc. I have seen disciples  having a strong devotion towards their Master. Being the disciple of shaolin martial arts school, Dong Lee takes up a project named 'project Red' against the Guru, Bodhidharmar. (Bodhidharmar is the founder of the Shao Lin school of martial arts.) Idhu romba manasa nerududhu!

hypnotism indha alavukku stronga panra person? namba mudiyavillai. (But I was told that this IS possible.) Particularly that auto scene! Too much of hypnotism done there! Could have reduced the length of that scene.

Gajinila nayanthara! Idhula Shruthihaasan.. Hero kooda duet paada mattum oru heroine nu illaamaponadhu oru aarudhal. 
Tamil Tamil nu pesinaalum English accent thookala irukkaradhu minus! Dubbing voice try pannirkkalaam! She should focus more on being a music Director or playback singer I guess! 

Bodhidharma yaaru nu kekkumbodhu invariable a ella south indiansm theriyaadhunu solradhu vedhanai kodukkum unmai. 

For those who feel that the First few minutes went like a documentary... Had the Director tried to put it in dialogues the number of scenes would have increased. Moreover, this happens in China. So no other go. I enjoyed it though!

The beautiful locales, Tibet Potala Palace, helicopter shots, the rivers, dogs, happy reunion of the Chinese girl child with bubbling smile and her mom.. Silirthidichu! 

This Surya can act! My God! The way he gives his parting glance to his wife as he leaves for China! No chance. His hard work to learn the circus tricks goes a waste. But one thing I should say, andha sila nimida kaatchigalukkaaga Surya rombave menakertirukkaar. Kudos Surya!

Biowar nu China sonna enna aagum? How much are we prepared? Koodankulam nuclear plant sariya thappa nu naama pesitu irukkumbodhu saththampodaama matha naadugal sciencela munnerittu irukkaradha pakkumbodhu bayama irukku! 

Anbirkkum undo adaikkumthaal nu AR Rahman thirukkural sonnappo, Ella thirukkiralayum ippadi pattu vadivama ARR sonna pasangalukku nalla reach aagumnu pesinom. Adhey conceptpadi paaththa, Ippo Bodhidharmar yaarnu namakku sonnadhukku AR Murugadossku nandri sollanum. 

How much research work would have gone in before writing the script, how much hard work, efforts in making the movie! Hats off Murugadoss!

Am not telling that this is picture-perfect! Many commercial elements are there in the movie. But Vaai pulichadho, maanga pulichadho nu, time waste, bore padam nu off-handed comments FB la podardhu, pesaradhu fashion aayiduchu!

Velaayudham paathuttu naama thirupachi, sura, aadhi, sivakasi indha padamlaam paaththa feel varudhennu yosikkarom. But Yezhaam Arivu paathuttu theatre vittu Varumbodhu oru different feel enakkulla vandhadhu nichayam! Hahaha... Not wondering about the talents in my DNA! But about Bodhidharma, the Tamil monk about whom I never knew till date, about the richness of our homeland! But how ignorant we are about most of these! 

Waiting for such type of movies which will throw light on our hidden prides! 

Yezhaam Arivu- Good, in spite of its flaws! Don't miss it!

Dheiva Thirumagan/Thirumagal

This is an emotional story of a man, Krishna, showing physical growth of 30 year old but with an IQ of just 5 year old having a lovable bonding with his daughter. The movie starts with Krishna in search of Nila. The story unfolds with Nila being born as krishna's baby girl, how he takes care of his child as his wife passes away during the delivery of the baby. He feeds her, joins her in school, plays with her and does the best he can for the child. The way Nila asks questions for which he is unable to answer are questions even a normal person would find it difficult to answer.


Nila: Amma engeppa?
Krishna: Amma saami kitta poitanga
Nila: saamiku Amma illaya pa?
Krishna: mmmm... Sami nallavangala pakkathulaey vechikkum.
Sara: appo Naama nallavanga illayaapa?

Vikram and Sara playing the lead roles of dad and daughter have done remarkably well. Even small details like Krishna seeing all moms carrying their children carries Nila till the bus comesin the school bus stop. Both Nila and Krishna playing 'Krishna vandhachu', 'Nila vandhachu' with hands folded to make a face really steals the show. The twist in the story comes when  Nila catches the attention of her school Correspondent, Amala Pal, who happens to be the child's aunt. Amala informs her dad about this and he makes moves and separates krishna and Nila. How Anushka, the advocate, files a case and tries to unite Krishna and Nila and what happens in the climax is the rest of the story.
Though the movie is good with commendable performances by the entire crew, this movie has a few pitfalls too. Somehow, accepting that Krishna has fathered a child, slightly reduces the percentage of pity that he gains acting as a challenged person, though I remember Swathi Muthyam Kamal here. Krishna, escaping from advocate Bhashyam's(Nazer) house, only to get the medicines for the advocate's son makes one raise their brow, how could he have told what medicines he wanted and where did the money to buy it come from? And the courtroom scenes could have been narrated well with arguements rather than plotting to hide Krishna, kidnapping him and such. In many movies, courtroom scenes had been remarkable ones. 
And this movie is a remake of 'I am Sam'. I have not seen that movie. But too much of a hype that it is  plagiarism, blah,blah mentioned in social networks like Facebook and in some blogs. I have one question for such people. But when the same was made in Hindi in 2005, 'Main Aisa Hi Hoon', with Ajay Devgan playing the lead role of the autistic father, I wonder if such comments like 'it is plagiarized content and has brought Hindi cinemas down' was on papers or on the net. Is it because of that movie got review as an outright mess that none bothered to raise the question of plagiarism there? In Tamil, the Director has done a really good job of ending up directing a good movie. Would a card in the titles that "Story inspired from I am Sam" satisfied the critics? :P
Whatever, I should admit one thing here, you can watch this movie for Sara. With actor like Vikram playing in the lead role, she has undoubtedly stole the credit with her fabulous performance. She has surpassed Vikram's acting in most of the scenes and wins appreciation. She has a bright future! 
Any movie has pros and cons! Forget about 'I am Sam', I am sure you will enjoy the movie :)

Facebook - A boon or a bane?

FACEBOOK - Breaking the family relationship as it strengthens the friendship network!

Social networking, it claims itself to be... Facebook to a maximum extent has stopped networking among the family members. Oh! This is not a blog against facebooking. but sure, this is going to feature it's clutching of people's time, mind and thoughts.

Little did I know that facebooking will eat all my time. First I felt the idea of writing on the wall, poking etc., stupid. but slowly I got used to it (stupidity?!!?? lol :)). Got so happy when I got a lot of friends, many new. I could hunt for my old school friends and got them too, I started spending more time in FB. FB has played its part in my life, i have missed a few good friends too, coz of misunderstanding (who has understood wrong is still a mystery).

oohhh! I realized that I spend less time around with my family, when I noted that every now and then, I check for FB updates in my iphone. And I did that even when I wake up in between my sleep to use the Loo at night times. Thats when I thought...this FB has gained control over me!

Its for friends that I opened an account. But my husband started feeling that I am into FB lots, many of my friends started commenting that I am an extensive FB user, I started seeing my comments on the FB walls so often and I logged on to FB more than 10 times a day.. My status messages getting up to a maximum of 100 likes and many comments, people started envying me too.. hahahaha!

But I deactivated my account just a week back. Initially I was tempted lots to sign in again and get it activated. With 1200 plus friends, it looked so warranted that I activate it again so that I can get in touch with them. But my mind and heart said, "first look around and be friends with your family members. When you feel that they are comfortable then spend time for your friends whom you have seen and whom you have not seen". So, let me follow what my heart says!

Yesterday, I asked my parents voluntarily for an outing.. just for a shopping, got 2 salwars (lol), got some veggies and some snacks. Three hours time well spent.. I could see my mom happy that I spent time with her. Waiting for my hubby to come back to Salem within a couple of days, just to know what he feels about my account deactivation :) I feel quite happy not knowing whats being shared, the comments, the pics posted etc.

Let me extend this deactivation to the most possible date to which I can, and then activate my account, if need be! Hoping that this penance period will surely change me to use FB prudently without causing much damage to my family and friends! So, even if I come back, it wont be the same as it was! I hope I will never get addicted to FB.

கண்ணாடிப் பூக்கள்

வசு.... மனதை நெகிழ வைத்த ஓர் கதாபாத்திரம். தலை வாரி விட அம்மா, பள்ளிக்கு செல்ல தேவையான அனைத்தும் எடுத்து வைக்க அம்மா... பள்ளியிலிருந்து திரும்பியதும் முதலில் பார்க்கத்துடிப்பதும் அம்மா.... தன்னுடைய பெஸ்ட் friend அம்மா ... தன் பள்ளியில் நடந்ததை பகிர்ந்துகொள்ள அம்மா... தான் வெற்றிபெற்றதைக் கொண்டாட அம்மா... அம்மா.. அம்மா.. அம்மா.. அம்மா... வசுவின் ஒவ்வொரு மூச்சிலும் பேச்சிலும் அம்மா...

இப்படி அன்பை பொழியும் ஒரு மகனை நெஞ்சிலும், தோளிலும், தாங்கும் அன்பான அம்மாவாய் காவேரி. தன் மூத்தாளின் மகன் என்று எவ்விதத்திலும் மாற்றம் காட்டாது, தன் அன்பையும், பாசத்தையும் கலந்து ஊட்டி, வசு வசு வசு என வசுவின் அன்பிற்கு தன் அன்பு எவ்விதத்திலும் குறைந்தது அல்ல என நிரூபிக்கும் மற்றொரு கதாபாத்திரம்.

ஆர்பாட்டமான வார்த்தை ஜாலம் ஏதும் இன்றி, நக்கலாய் பேசாது, அமைதியான அன்பான அப்பாவாய் பார்த்திபன்.

திரைப்படம் பார்க்கிறோம் என்ற உணர்வே இன்றி, நம் வீட்டில் நடக்கும் சம்பவங்களைக் கண்முன் காண்பது போன்ற உணர்வு. "இப்படித்தான் நடக்கும்" என நம் எண்ண ஓட்டங்களைத் தடுத்து நாம் நினைக்காதபடி கதை அமைத்து, கனத்த மனத்துடன் கதையுடன் நம்மைப் பயணிக்கச் செய்து, பாராட்டினைப் பெறுகிறார் இயக்குனர் ஷாஜஹான்.

வயிற்றிலிருந்து ஓர் உருண்டை தொண்டை அடைத்து, விழிகளில் அருவியாய் நீர் சொரிய, படம் முழுக்க காவேரியும், வசுவும் நம்மை ஆட்க்கொள்ளுகின்றனர். தான் பெற்றெடுத்த குழந்தையின் மரணத்திற்கு தான் பாசம் காட்டி வளர்த்த வசு தான் காரணம் என்று அறிந்த பின்னும், வசுவின் அன்பைப் புரிந்து கொண்டு, "தெரியாம செஞ்சிட்டேன் மா" என பயத்தில் அழும் மகனின் வாய்ப் பொத்தி, கட்டி அழும் தாயாக வாழ்ந்திருக்கிறார் காவேரி.

குழந்தைகள் செய்யும் தவறு ஒரு வயது வரை, அவரவர் பெற்றோர் செய்யும் தவறுகளினால் நடப்பவையே என்பதை அழகாக உணர்த்தும் குழந்தை மனோதத்துவ டாக்டராக வரும் சரத்பாபு, ஜுவினைல் கோர்ட்டில் அப்பா கோபத்தில் அடித்தது, அம்மா தன்னை பெஸ்ட் friend இல்லை என நிராகரித்தது, அடுத்து வந்த குழந்தை எல்லோருடைய நேரத்தையும், attention எடுத்துக் கொள்ள, தான் வேண்டாதவன் என்ற உணர்வினால் கோபம் கொண்டு, தான் பெயர் வைத்த தன் தம்பி அப்புவின் முகத்தில் தானே பூச்சி மருந்து அடித்தது, அச்செயல் தன் தம்பிக்கு காய்ச்சலை ஏற்படுத்தும் என்று அப்பாவியாய் அழுது, சாரி சார் , சாரி சார், சாரி அம்மா, சாரி அப்பா என அனைவரிடமும் கை கூப்பி மன்னிப்பு கேட்டு அழும்போது, நம் கண்களில் இருந்தும் ஊற்றாய் நீர்.

கண்ணாடிப் பூக்கள்! வசு, காவேரியின் பாசம்... கண்ணாடி போன்று எந்நேரத்திலும் விரிசல் ஏற்படக் கூடியது, ஆனாலும், கண்ணாடி பூவாய் மலரச் செய்து, அது உடையாது பார்த்து கதை நகர்த்தியிருப்பது பாராட்டிற்குரியது.

Heavy subject.. இப்படி அம்மாவின் மேல் கரைகாணா பாசம் செலுத்தும் ஒரு மகன் கிடைக்க அந்த தாய் கொடுத்து வைத்தவளா? அல்லது சிற்றன்னை என்ற எண்ணம் துளியும் இல்லாது, பெற்ற மகனை இழக்கக் காரணமாய் இருந்தவன் என்று கோபம் கொள்ளாது, வருத்தத்தை மனதில் புதைத்து, கணவனிடம், என் பழைய வசு எனககு வேணும் என்று கதறி அழும் தாயைப் பெற்ற வசு கொடுத்து வைத்தவனா?

மரத்தைச் சுற்றி சுற்றி பாட்டு, காதல், அந்த காதலுக்காக தாய் தந்தையரை எதிர்த்துப் பேசும் hero, heroine, அயல்நாட்டில் டூயட், பழியே உருவமாய் வில்லன் என பார்த்து பார்த்து சலித்த மனதிற்கு, இப்படம் ஓர் விதிவிலக்கு. பெற்ற பிள்ளையிடம் மட்டுமே இவ்வாறு பாசம் காண்பிக்க முடியும் என்ற எண்ணம் கொண்ட அனைவரும் பார்க்க வேண்டிய படம். பெறாவிட்டாலும் பிள்ளை பிள்ளை தான் என்று உணர்த்தும் படம்.

திரைப்படம் பார்த்து முடித்தும், அதன் தாக்கத்திலிருந்து இன்னும் வெளி வரவில்லை நான், கண்களிலிருந்து வழியும் கண்ணீர் என் புடவையை இன்னும் நனைத்துக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறது. நனையட்டும்!

"ஹலோ friend... உனக்கு ஒரு மேட்டர் தெரியுமா?

என்ன?

இந்த வேர்ல்ட்லயே எனக்கு ரொம்ப பிடிச்சது உன்ன மட்டும் தான்...."

இன்னும் செவிகளில் ரீங்காரமிட்டு கொண்டிருக்கிறது...

TEDxSalem - Jan 29, 2011

The Conception:

When Raghavan conceived the idea of conducting a tedx event, I was dumbstruck. He spoke to me about the famous Tamil writer Late Sujatha Rangarajan, who in his biography, had mentioned TED as "One good website for Life". He explained me how we can make it ‘happen’. Till then I had thought organizing tedx events are something “out-of-our-capability” type of programmes. Intrigued and interested, first set of discussion started in the month of October 2010. When Raghavan and Suganthi threw light on this, I started following Ted.com. Rules and regulations were thoroughly discussed and slowly it sunk in me that materializing our event, TEDxSalem, is possible and is within our reach.

The Preparation:

This followed a lot of further discussions amongst us and it was time to start putting the plan into action. Reshma, Deepika, Latha and myself, making a small group initiated this action plan.Our first step was to finalize the venue. One fine evening in the first week of November, with lots of jitters and expectations, we went to Sona College of Technology. This was the venue unanimously voiced out by our team members. I know we did not make much of an impression on the Secretary whom we met and spoke to, in order to get the permission to use the venue for our mammoth task. With little apprehension and not to discourage us, the secretary of the college gave us his consent to use the premises. We came out of his office exuberant, that our first task was a success. Rain drops were trying to connect the evening sky to the earth, and my heart started singing "there shall be showers of blessings....". Yes! It was indeed a promise made by God to us, to be with us all through this event.

One after another, string of events started taking place, all pieces of jigsaw falling in place to form the perfect picture. Applying for license, checking out for potential sponsors, reaching out for perspective audience, printing of posters, etc etc were made possible fostering teamwork. We had to educate our community people about TED and TEDx events and we had an overwhelming response from them. We could see in their eyes that here are a bunch of people who are trying to do something good to the society and their co-operation was outstanding.
It was exciting to see a lot of students eager to be a part of the team. Everyone had realized that none of us is as good as all of us :) Amazed at the outstanding ideas presented by the team members, and with increased motivation, I could see our event taking shape, members working round the clock. We got our license approved. Raghavan and Suganthi spent sleepless nights constructing our website and Bala Murali, Vidhya, KTR contributed their part for it. Works on designing the posters for display, printing the tickets, selling them, went in parallel with the hunt for our speakers. We used graffiti as our new marketing tool.


All these made Raghavan book his flight ticket from Texas to India. He wanted to witness the delivery of his brain-child. Having put his heart, mind and soul to this event, it was warranted that he be with us on the grand day, in spite of his financial stress. And finally he was here by the second week of January 2011 to take charge of the arrangements along with Suganthi. Deepika and Naresh, with an enthusiastic team of students, made sure time and again that our event was finding its way to the grand day Jan 29, 2011. Bala took charge of the striking stage decoration. Simple yet creative decorative works by Surya and group found their apt places in the auditorium. Our PC Sriram, Shakthi Arun captured every moment of the hard work done in preparing for the event, in his precious camera. Raghavan, Shakthi, Bob and Vigneswaran spent early hours shooting the walls painted by the quotes of MMM corner Pasupathy. Reshma helped in communicating with the educational institutions who were our primary sponsors.

THE Day:

Though we had to introduce TED and TEDx to our speakers, upon explanation, great thinkers like Gnani and Madhan, accepted to share their ideas of innovation to the audience immediately. They were to speak on any idea, that is worth spreading! The D-Day arrived.

Our first speaker was Aparna Ramesh - who spoke on exploration of the soul through dance and music. Next came Gnani, a famous journalist and a theatre person, who made us dive into the thoughts on ethics, and how inseparable it is to our lives! Vernacular architecture marvels by Durga, five ideas on better life by Bret Adams, Professor.T S Subbaraman's Classical tamil venpA on Physics Light & Sound, which is definitely an idea worth spreading, Cartoons which is possible only by creative thinking - an inspiring talk by Madhan, creating millions of smiles through holistic education-a silent revolution being created by Aarti C Rajaratnam to the Salem community, a graffiti artist who writes inspiring quotes on the walls of the Salem city in Tamilnadu, MMM Corner Pasupathy! Creativity in its best - talk by theatre person Kalieaswari... Oh! I should say we really had a wide variety of speakers, who had touched many lives in one way or other through their creative ideas.

Our interval sessions were filled with talks and discussions with the speakers. Salem special “Thattu vadai set”, a hygienic, healthy snack containing fresh vegetables was served to all the people with tea/coffee. Vidhya and team did a marvelous job of blogging and tweeting. Karthik was sending messages about the number of hits of our web cast link, making us feel all excited. Not less to mention the work of Cheythanya and his team, who made paper bags to give an eco-friendly thanks to all the audience with a medicinal plant in it. Raghavan and Suganthi shared the entire story of formation of the team, our plans, its execution etc. The crowd cheered as every member of the team was introduced and brought on stage. There was a mixed feeling of laughter and fun, pride and humility, comfort and dismay, anxiety and reassurance, expectations and disappointments in the air, but it ended up with many proud moments.

At the end of the day, Secretary of Sona college, appreciated that he never expected such a successful event, and that we had proved our mettle. His parting dialog was that he was indeed happy and proud to have given permission for such an event to take place in his college premises. Every speaker congratulated and appreciated our story of formation of the team. The event's success was reinstated, by the number of mails and calls that we had received from the audience, many volunteering to join our team.

The Learning:

Completion of the event was one big responsibility off our shoulders. Our hearts were brimming with satisfaction. We learnt the flaws we had made in conducting the event, but could do nothing to put it straight at that point of time. It is natural to see great team work among friends in school, colleges or in work place. But team spirit in an event like this, where members come from different streams of life all meeting one another just for the event is simply outstanding! Truly every team member added value to the event. I can proudly vouch that every one of us had thoroughly realized the meaning of the team work, "alone we could do so little, but together we could do so much"!

TEDxSalem may be considered just an event by many. But for us, the team members, it had been a platform to realize our potential, to discover our hidden talents, to venture new strategies, to reach out to new people, to learn new software, to work as a team with unknown people, to raise up to the occasion, to adjust with difference of opinions, to expand our comfort zone.... and more than all, TEDxSalem has helped every one of us rediscover ourselves!

Vidhya's bday wish for me... :)

Sound of watch ramming my ears
Music of soul filling my heart.
Things cannot be more beautiful
Sans you around me.

Given a seive and a pensieve of thoughts
Asked to filter the best, nonetheless
Every moment will be with you in it.
Ultimate gift you are to me.

Given a boon in form of you
Wish upon a star for my star
Praying for your health and happiness
Just in time to burst out at its peaks.

You taught love, You lived love
You showed smile, You infected with smile
You preached life, You inspired life..
In all - you are,were and will be the best.

For my teacher, For my friend, For my sister, For my mother,
For you... Here is the special wish

Happy birthday... :)
You are too special for words to explain.
Love you... :)

கலர் கலராய் நம் கண் முன் விரியும்

தோட்டத்து பூக்கள் போல

மனதிற்கு சந்தோஷத்தை தரும் ஒரு விஷயம்,

காதல்!!!!!!

Start Small... to achieve BiG!

We were once babies, the first day we were born, we couldn't feed ourselves, we didn't run up and down the stairs, and we couldn't even change our own diapers. Our parents or caretakers were the ones who fed us, changed our diapers, gave us a bath and taught us how to stand and walk.

We learned how to stand with our feet, then walk, and then run!

So don't be too hard on yourself when things are not going as fast as you want them to be and don't give up on life when you fail in pursuing your dreams and goals. A little progress is better than nothing at all. It is very important to keep learning and growing every day.

The excitement in your life comes from the fact that we see a sign of progress in your life. When you feel like you are progressing in your life, that's when you feel happy and excited! That's why it is important to set a new goal after we achieve our previous goal. We went through a process of growing, from small to big and from big to bigger and bigger.

If you've ever taken the Tube in London, you've seen the signs posted all over that say, "Mind the Gap." They refer to the distance between the station platform and the train itself. But think about a different kind of gap: the one between what we tell ourselves we want, and what we're actually doing-or, more pointedly, not doing-to make it happen.

Often, what's lurking in the gap is fear. Fear in its familiar guises--shyness, social anxiety, panic attacks, emotional paralysis--or fear in the form of self-condemnation. Other times, what keeps us from bridging the gap is overwhelm. Overwhelmed by lack of information. Or, conversely, overwhelmed by information overload.

Another key problem is a lack of focus. get yourself a one-track mind. The only way to beat status quo is to quit being status quo - get a plan together for a goal, whatever that goal is, and work it.

• Give Yourself A Reasonable Deadline
• Identify What Distracts You And Counter It
• Reward Little Successes

StaRt SmAll to achieve bIG :)

after a looooooong time, i came across a beautiful song, that perfectly fits. endha paatta kettalum adhula unna theduren suji nu solvella.. andha maadhiri indha paattula, i saw 'us'.

this song need not necessarily be between lovers.

it fits so well for me and you, when our relationship cannot be put in any suitable definition, when we cannot surely say, you are 'this' to me.. bcoz, we still do not know what that 'this' mean!

"கடலினில் மீனாக, இருந்தவள் நான்
உனக்கென கரை தாண்டி வந்தவள் தான்,
துடித்திருந்தேன் தரையினிலே ..
திரும்பிவிட்டேன் என் கடலிடமே .."

I just cannot explain this.. hope you understand these lines and relate it with my situation easily..

"ஒரு நாள் சிரித்தேன் மறு நாள் வெறுத்தேன்,

உன்னை நான் கொல்லாமல் கொன்று புதைத்தேனே,
மன்னிப்பாயா ..மன்னிப்பாயா ..மன்னிப்பாயா .."

ஆழமான வரிகள்! many times i have done this to you... i would smile and show all my affection to you, pour out my love for you, send you mails after mails and cards after cards...sometimes i would show all my anger, sorrow towards you, hurt you with my words without understanding your situation, that would have been a real hell for you..

when i heard these lines.. i really felt bad about myself. True..at many times, unnai kollamal kondru pudhaiththirukkiren, SORRY FOR THAT da... I am really sorry..

and you have told me time and again that you love me lots. you had told me that i have guided you in the right path, else you would not have had your ambitions fulfilled and I changed your life.. now read these words what the male sings:

காற்றிலே ஆடும் காகிதம் நான், நீதான் என்னை கடிதம் ஆக்கினாய்,

அன்பில் தொடங்கி அன்பில் முடிக்கிறேன், என் கலங்கரை விளக்கமே ..

i see you in these lines and feel you too! you have stressed your love and affection for me many different times, assured me that all others are many miles apart, you have kept me in a pedestal and i am everything to you.

but sometimes I doubted your love, i had thought, if you will forget me in life, if you will leave me and go.. i have questioned you many times, why did you ever come in my life? feel bad for that now. i have told you that i cry at nights missing you, your love....

ஏன் என் வாழ்வில் வந்தாய் கண்ணா நீ ..

போவாயோ கானல் நீர் போலே தோன்றி..
அனைவரும் உறங்கிடும் இரவெனும் நேரம்,
எனக்கது தலையணை நனைத்திடும் நேரம் ..

and this song ends again with the male voice re-assuring that

கண்ணே தடுமாறி நடந்தேன்,
நூலில் ஆடும் மழையாகி போனேன்,

உன்னால் தான் கலைஞனாய் ஆனேனே ..
தொலை தூரத்தில் வெளிச்சம் நீ,
உனை நோக்கியே எனை ஈர்க்கிறாயே..

மேலும் மேலும் உருகி உருகி உனை எண்ணி ஏங்கும் இதயத்தை என்ன செய்வேன் ..

this re-assurance from you.. i always get... and i am happy for the same.

but why should i get re-assured? why should i get doubt in the first place? why do i hurt you many times in spite of understanding your love for me?

is it just possessiveness?????????

என்றும் வானவில்

சுட்டெரிக்கும் வெயில் - ஆனாலும்

கண்டேன் வானவில்

மனதோடு மழைக்காலம்!

சமர்ப்பணம்!

பாலைவனத்தில் முதல் மழைத்துளி ....

மண்ணின் இறுக்கம் தளர்ந்தது 

நெகிழ்ந்தது .. கரைந்தது ....

சிறுதுளி பெருமழையாய் மாறியதில் 
வண்ண மலர் பூந்தோட்டம் !!!!

மண்ணிற்குச் செய்த அற்புதத்தினை 
மழைத்துளி அறிந்தது , உணர்ந்தது ...

அங்கு விளைந்த சந்தோஷப் பூக்களைக் 
கண்டு ரசித்து ஆரவாரம் இன்றி, 
அமைதியாய் மண்ணுள் 
கலந்துவிட்டது மழைத்துளி!

இனி, எண்ணிலடங்கா மலர்ச்செடிகள் 
அம்மண்ணிலே தோன்றலாம் …

அவை அனைத்தும், 

அந்த முதல் துளிக்கே சமர்ப்பணம்! 

என்ன தவம் செய்தனை!!!!

என்ன தவம் செய்தனை யசோதா?

இங்கிவனை நான் பெறவே

வெள்ளை சிரிப்பு .. கொள்ளை அழகு!

குழந்தையின் சிரிப்பு!

நிஜங்கள்

வான வெளியில் பறக்கும் பறவைகள்
கூட்டமாய் தவழும் வெண்மேகங்கள்
மெல்லிய நூல் கொண்டு உயரும் பட்டம்
தனதே என எண்ணும் வானின் திட்டம்

பொய்யானதே! பறவை கூடு சேர்ந்ததே
நூல் அறுந்ததும் பட்டம் கீழே போனதே
மேகங்கள் அந்த வானில் உரசிக்கொண்டதும்
மழையாய் மாறி பூமி தன்னை சென்று சேர்ந்ததே

அந்த வானம் மட்டும் தனிமையிலே நின்றுவிட்டது
மழையும் அதனை ஈரமாக்க மறுத்துவிட்டது
நம் வாழ்கைப் பயணம் ஒருவகையில் அந்த வானம் போன்று தான்
அதில் ஓவியம்தனை தீட்ட எண்ணும் ஆசை மனது தான்!!

கயிலை அற்புதம்!

ஓங்கி உயர்ந்த மலையாம்

வெண்பனி போர்த்திய நிலையாம்

ஈசனின் ஆவுடை வடிவாம்

திருக்கயிலாயம் என்னும் கிரியாம்!

அதை சுற்றிலும் பல இமயச் சிகரங்கள்

காலை சூரிய கிரணங்கள்

தொட்டவுடன் மற்றவை ஏதும் மாற்றமில்லை

கயிலை மட்டும் மாறியதுவே!

வெள்ளி மலையென இருந்த சிவம்

தங்கமென மாறும் அற்புதமே

பொன்னார்மேனியன் எனப் போற்றி

சிந்தையில் சிலிர்த்தேன் தினம்தினமே!

இறைவா கண் மூடி உனைத் தேடுகிறேன்

உன்னில் என்னை நான் காணுகிறேன்

ஒளியாய், நெருப்புக் குழம்பாய் தோன்றும்

நின் ஜோதியில் நானும் உயிர்த்தெழுந்தேன்!

என் சிறுமை அனைத்தும் தொலைந்தது

நின் பெருமை புரிந்ததும் கரைந்தது

மெய்ப்பொருள் நீயென தெரிந்ததும்

வாழ்கையின் சிறப்பு புரிந்தது!

லேசாக! மிக லேசாக!

கொத்துக்கொத்தாய்
பருத்திப் பஞ்சினைப்போல்
வெண் மேகக் கூட்டங்கள்
மிதந்து கொண்டிருந்தன
எனக்குக் கிழே!

பஞ்சினைவிடவும் லேசானதாய்
இருந்ததினாலோ
மேகத்தினை விடவும்
மேலே பறந்தது என் மனமும்
கூட நானும்!

புள்ளியாய் மறைந்து போயின
என் துயரங்களும், சந்தோஷங்களும்!

நிர்மலமான நீல வானம்
குடை பிடிக்க
சலனமின்றி ஓர் மோன நிலையில்
நான் இருக்க
சட்டென்று தெரிந்தது
மீண்டும் புள்ளிகளாய் நிதர்சனம்!

சிறிது சிறிதாய் பெரிதாகி
பூதாகாரமாய் நீண்டு
என்னை தனக்குள்
இருத்திக்கொண்டது
உண்மை உலகம்!

அத்துடன் முடிந்தது
என் விமானப் பயணம்!

மீண்டும் விடுதலை பெற்று
பறக்க துடிக்கிறது
என் விந்தை மனம்!

லேசாக! மிக லேசாக!
