தென்றல் வந்து தீண்டும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ மனசுல
திங்கள் வந்து காயும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ நெனப்புல
வந்து வந்து போகுதம்ம எண்ணமெல்லாம் வண்ணமம்மா
எண்ணங்களுக்கேற்றபடி வண்ணமெல்லாம் மாறுமம்மா
உண்மையம்மா உள்ளத நானும் சொன்னேன்
பொன்னம்மா சின்ன கண்ணே
தென்றல் வந்து தீண்டும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ மனசுல
திங்கள் வந்து காயும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ நெனப்புல

வெவரம் சொல்லாமே பூக்களெல்லாம் வாசம் வீசுது
உறவும் இல்லாமலே இருமனம் ஏதோ பேசுது
எவரும் சொல்லாமலே குயிலெல்லாம் தேனா பாடுது
எதுவும் இல்லாமலே மனசெல்லாம் இனிப்பா இனிக்குது
ஓடை நீரோடை எந்தன் மனசும் அதுபோல
ஓடம் அது ஓடும இந்த காலம் அது போல
நெலையா நில்லாது நினைவில் வரும் நிறங்களே

தென்றல் வந்து தீண்டும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ மனசுல

ஈரம் விழுந்தாலே நிலத்திலே எல்லாம் துளிர்க்குது
நேசம் பொறந்தாலே உடம்பெல்லாம் ஏனோ சிலிர்க்குது
ஆலம் விழுதாக ஆசைகள் ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுது
அலையும் அல போல அழகெல்லம் கோலம் போடுது
குயிலே குயிலினமே அத இசையா கூவுதம்மா
கிளியே கிளியினமே அத கதையா பேசுதம்மா
கதையா விடுகதையா யாவுமில்லையே அன்பு தான்

தென்றல் வந்து தீண்டும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ மனசுல
திங்கள் வந்து காயும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ நெனப்புல
வந்து வந்து போகுதம்ம எண்ணமெல்லாம் வண்ணமம்மா
எண்ணங்களுக்கேற்றபடி வண்ணமெல்லாம் மாறுமம்மா
உண்மையிலே உள்ளது என்ன என்ன வண்ணங்கள் என்ன என்ன

தென்றல் வந்து தீண்டும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ மனசுல
திங்கள் வந்து காயும் போது என்ன வண்ணமோ நெனப்புல

What it takes to be a friend and a foe???

Friends as many claim are not selected by us. Just a minute chat, a small bus ride, a little space offered for a unknown pillion, a small wink at the first instance, a giggle for the same mockery, a huge cry for a strange simple cause can bring a life time friend. Sometimes hours long of talks, years together in the same room, months together under the same roof may not win u a friend but sure can get u a subtle enmity and a good opponent.

When people find a group of people always sticking together irrespective of age groups, they gasp but fail to understand, friends and friendship are not decided by age groups. (Anything more than two is a group). Many have the best feeling of sharing anything with their greatest buddy apart from their marital partner. A small walk along the roads, a hectic shopping on a rainy day, those little coffee at strange time of the day & night, petty fights for the cause of third person, mocking at the passer bys, getting abused by a bunch of thugs, getting delayed for a favourite movie coz of the best person, failing to wish at the expected time on a birthday deliberately, little gifts that were given unexpectedly, times when people wonder why this bloody crap couldn't understand whats in their mind? quizzing themselves as to what went wrong? who should forgive and who should ask a little forgiveness first? a dignity that is kept ahead when silly things mattered and put to the backseat when it comes to the real thing.....the list is endless

Sometimes many take it for granted. A liberty that makes one to rule over the other, to care to an extreme, to love so selflessly that turns into a possessiveness, that plagues the beautiful relationship with varying pitches of chords of misunderstanding mixed together to give out a melancholic tune that results in the best split up, in spilling a fury of wrath and vengeance that last longer than any of them .

Friendship too has its boundary well defined. A thin invisible line, that is hard to feel and pleasurable till reached and pains a lot when crossed. After all every little thing needs it own space to thrive on...so does friendship. A little patience, a little explanation will always save the day for anyone before proposing the conclusions...a mind opened to be questioned on its decision will always be welcomed in the streets of friendship. A concluding mind with the uttered words and actions, and a mind that fails to explain the hidden meaning behind the actions and words literally or not will always find it difficult to find even a rented house in the colonies of friendship.

Best friends need not talk hours together, need not be near always, need not see each other daily. Those are a rare breed of human pairs who could just keep things to themselves, who could curse each other all the time, but when they meet they live and share as if doomsday is here. A virtue that is placed in the deeper layers of every human, which is recognised by a handful of fellow mortals who call themselves the friends.

After all friends and friendship are rather destined to be so. To further go on and be a best of pals is fate indeed. To top it all, fortunately or not, if a best friend becomes the greatest foe, that is the ultimate destiny that one can dream of.

The tale of SATHAPPAN

It was the second hour of the class. With all regular ceremonies Dr Kuppan entered the hall. everyone was ready with at least a paper and something that can write/mark/carve few legible symbols. Sathappan was lost elsewhere. He had lost his patience now. Every other second he gazed at the entrance to the hall. And in those seconds during which he failed to look at the entrance, he was either checking his hair style or was keenly observing the third hand of the clock.

"Sathappan, what problem yours? I see u see door of hall all the time. why no listen to my knowledge?" screamed Dr Kuppan in his highest possible octave level, a bit more would have surely punctured every guy's ball in the room. It was the first time, he noticed Dr Kuppan standing inside the hall. A Wheatish man of 5feet 7 inches, well built, who likes to wear three piece suits in the hot Indian summer. Though he proudly calls himself a doctor, he fumbles to frame a simple sentence in English. If at all one thinks he is really knowledgeable to own his doctorate, a definite no would be the answer. God alone knows how he ended up with that PhD and what that PhD really had. Craving for attention at all times, Kuppan was conferred the title loosu kuppan. So are his eccentric behaviours, his mush resembled a zebra crossing with alternate black and white stripes.

Kuppan is questioning!!!! As simple as that!!!! That is the conclusion sathappan was able to come up with, after contemplating for one long minute, as to where from - the noise had come a few seconds back. "sir, did u call me?" A wide eyed Kuppan came near sathappan. "U think i mental here? i shout and u ask call me? now tell me. I tolding all my exposure here and why did u no listen to my knowledge?"

The class ruptured in laughter. Sathappan wished he had the insight to get into his head and have a thorough look at his knowledge, if at all one existed. He was totally fathomed by what he was exposed to so far. He was sure, there was no way a porn movie could be played and by no means kuppan can be a porn star. "sir, u can never be a porn star and expose like hell", before sathappan could close his bloody mouth words came out dancing happily. A few nearby guys giggled.

"I know i am star. now told me why door looking? ". Sathappan was happy about the vast english knowledge that kuppan possessed. "i need to piss.....sorry sir, toilet", replied sathappan. With one angry look, "never toilet in my class", thundered kuppan. Sathappan was not sure whether its a YES or a NO. Toilet was a far better place in sathappan's book than the hall where Kuppan lectured. A place which relieved any men of all tensions, where even a high intense pressure was pacified with pleasure. while Sathappan sat, Kuppan went back to the board to continue exposing his knowledge.

But sathappan did not give up his search. he kept starring at the door. Far in the corridor a faint voilet color sparkled. Sathappan was not sure, whether he really saw something or is it his bloody mind thats playing. It appeared again....

-------------------------- END OF PART 1--------------------------

Wanted to try my hand at writing short stories. Suggestion, criticisms are welcome...

A twist in the tale?????

Not really sure though. What happens when you run over a kid? your PM, who saves your ass every time gets suddenly fired? One fine morning you wake up and your vision is all history? a close pal, who assured you of his availability at all points in the time series of your lifetime, suddenly breaks free of the earthly life? your lady-love eloping with your best pal?

The list, i have put up has options that has circumstances carrying a simple drive to simple relations that strangles ones life after convoluting it well!!! Keeping this one side, lets take another set of scenarios. What if you knew already, u gonna overrun a kid? your PM gonna be fired? you will no longer enjoy a good vision from next dawn? your close pal will soon desert you? your best friend has no other option than to betray you?

Well the former set of questions are a surprise package that leave you devastated or jolt you for a brief period of time after which you can never phantom a "back to the normal life". YUP!!!! If at all you do get back there, you come out more stronger than before......

for the second set of scenarios, you get in a mood of manipulation. you start thinking what are the various options u have? then after sometime, u decide on the pros and cons of that situation really happening on your life, finally u end up somewhere, where you are not sure what is the right thing u can do and what will be consequence of the deliberations in the voyage of your beautiful life......

What ever be it - knots gonna be placed and by the time u unfold them it will be too late and worst of all there will be no point in getting the knot removed. Life as to any other human as posed one such circumstance before me and i pray the almighty that no twists does happen in my beautiful life....
