A year has zoomed by since we both met. Probably I will never meet him again with my mortal eyes. But all the while i have felt his presence in all my endeavors however small it may be. Certain things are best left unexplained and rather experienced. So have been some of the best decisions and signs in the last 10 months. The beauty of which i will continue to enjoy forever......he had his own reasons for many of his deeds, some of which are beyond human creativity and the human intellectual. I need no one to acknowledge the same, for he is beyond the level of reasoning. A man who lived life king size since his emergence on the earth, who knew well all the right and wrong, who deliberated mistakes for the sake of his kinsman, who sought no appreciation for his deeds, who found happiness to see his fellow men rise.

Someone whom i was privileged to be associated so closely. If the age old Hindu scriptures are to be believed , then it is really bad of me to have done just enough deeds to associate me with him for 25years....i wish i had done more. 

25th Jan will always be etched in my tiny little brain (if at all one existed) till my conscious is aware of its existence. 

Let glory be with Kalyan.

Iyayyo enna....

அய்யய்யோ நெஞ்சு  அலையுதடி
ஆகாயம்  இப்போ  வளயுதடி
என்  வீட்டில்  மின்னல்  ஒளியுதடி
எம்  மேல  நெலா  போழியுதடி
உன்ன  பார்த்த  அந்த  நிமிஷம்
அணைஞ்சு  போச்சே  நகரவே  இல்லே
தின்ன  சோறும்  செரிக்கவே  இல்லே
பொலம்புவேன்  நானே

உன்  வாசம்  அடிக்கிறே  காத்து
என்  கூட  நடக்கிறதே
என்  சேவல்  கூவுற  சத்தம் 
உன்  பேரா    கேக்கிறதே

ஓ அய்யய்யோ  நெஞ்சு  அலையுதடி
ஆகாயம்  இப்போ  வளயுதடி
என்  வீட்டில்  மின்னல்  ஒளியுதடி
எம்  மேல  நெலா  போழியுதடி

------------------------------------------------------

ஆ : ஒன்ன  தொடும்  அனல்  காத்து
கடக்கயிலே  பூங்காத்து
கொழம்பி  தவிக்குதடி  என்  மனஸு

பெ: ஹோ  திரு  விழா  கடைகள  போல
தேனுருறேன்  நான்  தானே
எதிரில்  நீ  வரும்  பொது
மேரளுறேன்  ஏன்  தானோ

ஆ: கண்  சிமிட்டும்  தீயே
என்னை  எரிச்சுபுட்டே நீயே

பெ: தா ர ர......ஓ   அய்யய்யோ  நெஞ்சு
ஆ: அலையுதடி

பெ: ஆகாயம்  இப்போ
ஆ: வளயுதடி

பெ: என்  வெட்டில்  மின்னல்
ஆ: ஒளியுதடி

பெ: ஓ  எம்  மேல  நிலா
ஆ: போழியுதடி

-------------------------------------------------
ஆ: மழை  சாரல்  விழும்  வேலை
மண்  வாசம்  அனல்  வீச
உன்  மூச்சு  தொடவே  நான்  மேதந்தேன்

பெ: ஓ  கோடையிலே  அடிக்கிறே  மழையா
நீ  என்ன  நனைசாயே 
ஈரத்திலே  அணைக்கிறே  சொகத்த
பார்வையிலே  கொடுத்தாயே

ஆ: பாதகத்தி  என்ன  ஒரு  பார்வையாள  கொன்ன
ஊர் ஓட  வாடுற  போதும்  யாரோடும்  செரலல 

------------------------------x-------------------------
ஓ அய்யய்யோ நெஞ்சு  அலையுதடி

Funny the

way the desis behave in US. When you meet someone you will be immediately greeted. Thats how things work here. Traditionally back home, I have been trained to avert seeing another person on the road. Greetings!!! u should be kidding me, i am forbidden from even staring at the person.

pathinaru - named rightly - Yuvan

Expected to be a romantic movie from the director of VIP, punnagai poove, 16-Pathinaaru has Shiva and Madhu shalini in lead roles. For his friend Shiva, Yuvan has composed the music at no cost for the movie if all the reports in the tabloids are to be believed. This has the regular signature of Yuvan. 

Of the 1000

tracks that came out during the year 2010, the following were the ones that my ears were comfortable with for the most part.

1 Aromale VTV
2 Naan Varuvene Raavanan
3 Maalai Neram Ayirathil Oruvan
4 Idu varai Goa
5 Mannippaya VTV
5 En Kadhal Solla Payya
6 Kangale Kamalayam Bale Pandiya
7 Thooral thedum megam nee Uthama Puthiran
8 Thirudugirai Sanikizhamai Saingalam 5 mani
9 Hosanna VTV
10 Neela Vaanam Manmadhan Ambu

This is just my favorites……there are others too…but given the options to pick the first 10, here is my list Looking forward for another great musical year

1-1-11

Is it not fascinating to write down that date? I am not sure about you, but each time when I think about it, it gives me a goose bump Let the new year bring you more peace to keep you relaxed, more harmony to keep you composed, more fun to keep u happy, more luck to make your dreams come true, more energy to make all your endeavors fruitful, more wealth to make you prosperous, more good company to make u think right…..

Wishing you a very happy new year 2011. God bless.

Reflecting the year gone by….

Finally the day has arrived to officially say the year 2010 ‘WAS’. The last year has a great significance in my life and will be etched in my memory till I find a 6 foot long space to sleep. The year started with me sitting in the office till the 11th hour of the 2009 31st December, and when the clock showed 12, Manickam cut the cake signaling the start of the year.

After a long time, probably after our college days, a hell lot of us, college mates got together at Besent Nagar beach followed by a hefty dinner at Dosa Calling and it was a rejuvenating experience for all of us. Soon it was followed by my Visit to US, which was initially scheduled for just 2months. I never dreamt I would celebrate or rather be in the company of my sis family for my birthday ever in my life, so does diwali, her bday, the kids bdays, my BIL’s bday, travel with them to places, stay with them every weekend, and ofcourse this New year’s day!!!! Neither me nor my sis really even think about it at the start of 2010. A year of great surprises. While this has a great significance to me, the other worthy and fantastic thing to have happened was spending time, though little, with Venki and Manni. I still remember the day when I made Venki to travel from BHEL to Chandrashekarapuram in the middle of the night, just because I wanted to see my dad Spending time with his family a thing that I never dreamt about……

While those are from the good fronts, I was struck with a major blow at the start of the year. Kalyan decided it was time for him to depart the worldly abode. Probably he felt he had equipped me enough and his literal presence was no longer required, he took off in style. Even though I was well aware of his departure that was about to happen soon, when it happened it shook me heavily for once and probably the first time in my life. And to make things worse this has been the year that has kept me at bay from seeing my parents for nearly 10months now. A long time indeed…….

Apart from these, the experience gained in searching for a house and shifting things were wonderful, while me and mokkai planned to get a house with in a month, we were done with it on day one of our hunt. We then had to finalize many other things related to managing a house, which was and will be a rewarding experience at all stages of my life. The sad part is, me and mokkai never got to stay there together for a week!!!! The thing taught by Bandu to me over the last 10 months did open my eyes to the wide cunning nature of LIFE!!! He  showcased a perfect example of why I should not take life and things in life for granted!!!!

Life has been so good, beautiful with a great rewarding experience and I have nothing to complaint. With the grace of Kalyan and the almighty, I have been placed well at the right spot with the right set of people to guide me and lend a helping hand at all needed times. The year 2010 will always give me a warm feeling whenever I chew each day that passed by….So glad that year happened in my life….Good bye 2010.

 

Let glory be with Kalyan.
