Idhu vellum padai

Inspired by the events on marina beach

மின்விளக்கினை  அணைத்தால்  சில்வண்டு  ஆயின் சிதறிடும்
ஆனால் சேர்ந்திருந்தது  சிங்கங்களன்றோ
வீம்பு  செய்தோரிடம்  கையால்  பேசாமல்
கைபேசி  கொண்டு  விண்மீன்  ஒலியொத்த வெளிச்சம்  கண்ட தோழர்களே
உம்மை  எண்ணி
விம்மி  புடைக்குது  நெஞ்சம்

ஆர்ப்பரிக்கும்  கடலும்  அடங்கி  போனது
போர்  களம் “காணும்  பொங்கலாய்”  பொங்கி
நின்ற  உம்மை  பார்த்து

வெள்ளத்தனையது  மலர்  நீட்டம்
வெள்ளம்  வென்று   தொடங்கியுள்ளது
எமது  வீர  சிறார்களின்  சீற்றம்

அக்னி  குஞ்சாய்  உள்ள  இக்  கடமை
கனலை  காட்டு  பொந்தில்  வைத்திட
கானகம்  இன்றில்லை
ஆழ்  மனது  போதும்
பாழ்  நினைத்து  பணம்  பண்ண  முயல்வது
Petavo எந்த  நாடவோ  இருந்தாலும்
சிங்கங்களின்  காவலில்  காளைகள்
செழிப்பதை  காணுவீர்  விரைவில்

ஏர்  தழுவிய  உழவா  ஏறு  தழுவி
உன்  வாழ்வு  துளிர்  விட்டு  தவழ
கிளம்பி  இருப்பது  கூலி  படையன்று
செரிமானத்துக்கு  சோறு  தந்திடும்  படைக்கும்  கடவுளான  உமது
பாதுகாவலாய்  களம்  கண்டிருக்கும்  உமது  பிள்ளைகள்  இவர்கள்
வயிற்றில்  பசியும்  வாழ்த்தும்  மனமும்  உள்ளவரை  உமது  குடிக்கு  அழிவே இல்லை

Nice poem.

I have read so much about the protests in Marina and how our youngsters are managing the protests so well. Especially how well the women are protected and how safe they feel among all the men.

Proud of being a Tamil (well almost, if you consider that i am a woman of this soil).

Got this as a forward. Made interesting reading and made lot of sense too :) check it out. Just two years after our marriage, hubby brought up the idea of asking mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us. Hubby's father passed away while he was still very young. Mother endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to a university degree. You could say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today. I immediately agreed and started packing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant greenery. Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly just picked me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: "Lets go fetch mother." Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment put the...

Review time again :)

The movie watchers world was split into two last weekend - Those who saw AVATAR and those who couldnt get tickets. Luckily i was in the first group :) YES! Seen tht movie...wwohoooo...that too in 3D...woohoo woohooo. OK. Hype subsided. Now to what the heck was that movie all about. First thing first. This is one movie where the producer cannot complain where in the world did they spent 2000 crores of his money. Well its not exactly "in the world" its literally out of the world!! As i came out of the theater i wasnt exactly sure whether i liked the movie or not. What was the fuss all about this being the mother of all movie going experience? The story was hardly new. Its the Lawrence of Arabia meet Red Indians (Blue ones rather as per the movie). Little by little it started trickling in. Hey..wait a minute..the entire movie is shot in some alien planet right!! Oh yeah...Then the realisation came. None of them is real!!!! 90% of the movie is graphics and is so goddamn origin...
