Saw the following pic

from a fellow photographer and wrote the below after seeing it.


நிறமறிவேன், உடுத்தும்   உடையின்  நிறமறியேன்
உணவறிவேன் , உணவின்  ருசி  அறியேன்
நிழலறிவேன், ஒதுங்க மரம் அறியேன்
படிப்பறிவேன் , செல்ல  பள்ளி  அறியேன்

ஆட்டங்கள்  பல  அறிவேன் ,
கூடி  ஆட  தோழமை   அறியேன்

தாய்மையின்  சுகம்  அறிவேன் ,
அழைக்க  உறவறியேன்

Thanks to raj for reviewing this and the previous post.

பயணிக்க தொடங்கி விட்டேன்

களவையும் கற்று
மறக்க  சொன்னார்கள்,
ஆனால் உன்னை  மறப்பது  எப்படி?
மறுத்துவிட்டார்கள்  சொல்வதற்கு.

உன்  மேல்  நேசம்  கொள்கையில்,
உன்  நினைவுகள்   மட்டும், 
என்  கனவுகளை  வண்ணத்தில்  ஆழ்த்தின.

கனவுகளுக்குத்தான் எப்படித்  தெரியும்
என்  அருகில்  எப்பொழுதும் நீ  சுவாசிக்க  மறுத்தாய்   என்று?
நள்ளிரவில் வண்ணங்களை  அணிய  மறுத்துவிட்டன .

சுமக்க  ஒரு  மனம்  இன்றி,
உன்  மீது  கொண்ட  நேசமோ  கனக்கிறது.
செய்வது  அறியாது,
பாதை  அறியாது,
பயணிக்க  தொடங்கி  விட்டேன்  -
என்  வாழ்கையோடு
இப்படிக்கு எஸ்ராம்வேன்

It is not who I am underneath

 

Probably everyone has crossed that phase in life. Phase where the inner conscious questions the day to day life, and makes u feel empowered to imagine large than life characters. Suddenly you realize life is after all easy when kept simple, simple with no strings attached.

But is that all one looks forward from life? A life where u are content with bare minimum food, shelter, clothes? Is that all why a soul comes into existence? The ancient Tamil scriptures talk about 64 kinds of art? So how many does one posses? Can everyone learn everything? It is said, of the 64 almost 40-50 were common among people. And the rest were mastered by people who proved to be important personalities in human history.

Today mostly life is considered to be enjoyable when one cares for self, period.  Caring for the fellow beings - is it not one of the prime qualities that our ancestors were hailed for? Where has it gone? Why has the WE constantly been replaced with an I everywhere? Right from dawn out of bed to back in bed, WE has become I and US as become ME…we do not even sympathize with fellow beings in our dreams. Is it what one’s enjoyment all about?

The clock is ticking. Where is the time for me to learn everything? If at all I put my heart and blood and learn, what is it I gonna reap out of it? Two questions that many fumbles to answer and the very two that has kept millions at bay from learning even a single art in this modern world, where man is considered to be smarter than ever before!! Funny. Where is the enjoyment when I waste my time thinking about others? What is it “in for me”? It is always difficult to cure someone who does not want to be cured, who does not want to realize, what enjoyment is…..

An art is learnt not for reaping benefits, but for the enlightenment that you are privileged to have by mastering the art. The art of empathizing and being compassionate provides one’s life with endless joy and substantiates one’s existence…. I have set some goals for myself, which are larger than life, which are beyond my reach by light miles….but then, I need to aim for the stars to reach the skies….

If I can borrow a line from batman begins (2005)

“it is not who i am underneath….but what i do defines me”

 

Let glory be with Kalyan.

Mankatha!!!

• I wish Ajith had lost some weight before he donned the police dress
• No one in the movie can be said as unwarranted. Though all women are despised too soon. 
• Without the background score, the movie will fail miserably, CLAP CLAP for Yuvan
• Casting Lakshmi Rai alongside Mahath/Prem is a total blunder!!!!
• Trisha/Ajith chemistry lacks in all possible screens, so does Anjali/Vaibhav
• All songs except the first one are a total misfit. Talking about the songs, they are not the regular Venkat Prabhu/Yuvan stuff...seems to be done in  a hurry by a first timer...so removing that CLAP CLAP!!!!
• Over use or rather abuse of F word in English and equivalent Tamil words.....Could be avoided. Not sure who gave venkat prabhu, the notion that a Mass hero can talk all bull shit and be admired. 
• Not sure why Venkat prabhu's movies talks a lot about booze, skimpy clad women and silly jokes...it seems the percentage of the so called stuff increases with each movie.
• It takes a master craftsman to wield a screenplay involving action and comedy/humor, and Venkat prabhu is still a long way from it.
• Except for Saroja, we are yet to see a good story and a tight screenplay from his stable.
• Editing needs a special mention, especially where Ajith's planning is portrayed in his house. 
• Arjun just goes about his job as usual. Premji getting on your nerves at times in the name of wit!!!!
• Climax is the big plus for the movie, if you can endure the two hours of boring stuff....Glimpses of how good Ajith the actor is, can be seen in few frames....Title is really apt, if u can sit till the climax :)
• The end credits is awesome. That is the only best thing people liked in the cinema hall....

If you are in anyway admirer of Ajith go to Cinemas...else skip now and wait for it to be aired in the idiot box. Will i see the next movie from Venkat prabhu in theaters???!!!! NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
