மாயமென்ன

நிலவொன்றை நான் கண்டேன்
என் முழுமையும் ஒரு மயக்கம் 
கனா கொண்டேன் கையில் பிடிக்க
நிலவோ என் கனவை கலைக்க
நானும் கடந்தேன் நிழலோடு
அந்த
அழகு நிலவின் நிழலோடு
ஏக்கம் என்னை வழிந்தோட
கிடந்தேன் நானும் கல்லாக
நிழல் மட்டும் என்னோடு

காலம்தான் பறந்து செல்ல
மாயமொன்று நிகழ்ந்ததிங்கே

தென்றல் ஒன்று தீண்டி செல்ல
என் நிலவின் வாசம் கையில் பிடித்தேன்
அந்த தென்றல் தூவிய என் நிலவின் வாசம்
என் முழுமையும் ஒரு மயக்கம்

தென்றலே கொஞ்சம் நெருங்கி வா
என் நிலவிடம் சொல்லிவிடு
அவள் வாசம் மட்டும் போதுமென்று
இது நம் இரகசியம்

மாயமென்ன

Kaala

#Kaala

Rain fight is the best of the movie. BG score is too good especially for Rajini and Nana Patekar. 1st half had me entertained with all dimensions of Rajini, tho some claim that it has lengthy family scenes, 1 song too many  and 1 fight less, but I find the composition most appropriate, couldn't have been better.

2nd half has lots of tragedy coming and the mass scenes doesn't compensate enough to consume the tragedies. Ranjith makes you yearn for mass scene but that is also why Rain fight is appreciated by most. Fire fight in 2nd half doesn't match the rain fight enough.

Ranjith probably wants to show a more practical and realistic hero. Dialogues are contemporary and fits the social situation, no boring sermons. 

One of the best movies of Rajinikanth, the response it has got now despite all the fake negativity created around him is the proof.

Even the opposers who fell for fake stories wants to watch it anyhow other than theatre, even thru theatre print downloads. They call it their principle to watch it not in theatre, but boycotting him in all formats would be their ideal principle, that would be the right thing to justify and respect what they believe in. Havent watched Kathi movie in any format till now since the story ownership issue came out on that movie. Sadly,  immaturity and ignorance is easily exploited by vested interests, as is said in the LMES video, someone else in the hiding decides what n when you should watch, what n when you should oppose,  what n when you should appreciate and I believe WhatsApp is the greatest tool used by these hiding vultures. I wanna remind those people driven by fake stories, it's not just ego you got, there is something called brain,  make use of it.

Pondy, the trip

Have been to pondy in the past a couple of times I guess, but my latest trip by the end of Mar 2018, that is last week,  had shown me the pondy that I had not known till then, the pondy that I should have known.
Travelled with colleagues on my car. We started at around 8 am after i reached home at 7.10 AM from office, yes full nightout that scared our gang if I would make it to the trip.
We had simple breakfast on the highway, reached our mediocre hotel, visited a private beach, had our great lunch at the delicious Kamatchi restaurant, full non-veg. Dinner and the next day break fast was at a self service restaurant near the hotel  and that was too good too. 2nd day lunch as well was at Kamatchi, it had that chicken and fish omelettes which I haven't heard of before and were delicious too.
I confess,  I did have breezer which technically is a fruit juice according to the boozers. Booze I understand is 50% cheaper as you would all know.
Pondy does have beaches and we visited the paradise beach through a ferry ride as well. I think this paradise beach is well suited for family. Ferry ride costed Rs. 300 per head. There is also the paid fresh water shower with music in the open which our gang enjoyed as well with dance. Having a real stage singer in the gang was a plus for us throughout the trip, especially the evenings.
Drive around the city with full pitch music is an unbeatable pleasure. 
We of course did not visit the temples and ashrams.
The best thing for me was the night we spent at the main beach near the Gandhi statue. The walk with gulfi enjoying the cool sea breeze and seeing around all the beauties....
Conclusion is that,  I should have travelled to pondy frequently before 2012, yeah when I was a real bachelor

மழை

அவளை நான் சந்தித்ததில்லை
நிழற்படம் மட்டுமே
பல நாட்கள் சென்றன பேசாமல்
வற்புறுத்த விருப்பமில்லை
இன்றவளே விசாரிக்கத் தொடர்பு கொண்டாள் குறுஞ்செய்தியில்
உள்ளுக்குள் ஒருவித மகிழ்ச்சி
அது மகிழ்ச்சிதானா தெரியவில்லை
விசாரித்துக் கொண்டோம்
அவள் குரல் கேட்க ஆசைதான்
கூறிவிட முடியவில்லை
தயக்கங்கள் ஒரு புறமிருக்க
சொல்லிவிட்டேன் அவளை நான்
இழந்திருப்பதை
சில நொடிகள் அமைதி
'ம்ம்ம்' என்றவள் பின் அழைத்தாள்
அது வெறும் குரலல்ல
பெண்மையின் வடிவம்
நான் முழுமையாக நனைந்தேன்

மழை

கடல்

பார்த்து பார்த்து ஏக்கம் படர்ந்து
வாடிய பூக்களாய் பார்வை வருந்திட
மின்மினி போல் இமைக்கும் நொடியில்
கடைவிழி பார்வை அவள் வீசிட
மின்னலாய் வந்த விண்மீன் கூட்டம்
அவன் பார்வையில் இடியாய் முழங்கிட
உயிரூட்டிய ஆசை வலைதனை
வீசினான் அவளின் ஆழத்தில் முத்தெடுக்க!

கடல்

Both sex at work

My Oct-2016 post from FB:

A friend told me, we are in transition in India, probably in the near future, there wouldn't be any opposition at all for both sex to work.

Yeah I agree completely

That near future is when

1. You would be able to buy good parenting for money, today, you can't even imagine good trust worthy care for any amount of money (note: parenting and child care are not same)

2. You would sure have that mental maturity to keep aside the social compulsion to bear a child. You would make a well analysed and informed decision.

3. You would understand that bearing a child is a responsibility that you are forcing it on yourself and not your other half(yes applies to both). You would really know how you are gonna raise your child if you will have one.

4. Any female is matured enough to take care of the financial needs while accepting her other half's responsibility of taking care of the child. Yes, male is matured enough to stay home to raise the child if needed.

Until then, let us keep away half cooked arguments. Either don't have a child or have it along with all the responsibilities. No escape. And, don't exploit elders in the family for that unless they are willing. Every human, be it your own child or the elders, each have their own passion and dreams and would love to live in their own world, just like you and me.

மயக்கமென்ன?

அந்த தேனீர் நேரம்
சிவந்த வானில் மஞ்சள் நிலவாக
வரிசையில் அவள்
அவனோ பின் நிற்க
அங்கும் இங்கும் அவள் பார்க்க
அந்த பிழையில்லா இதழ்கள்
பிரம்மன் வடித்த பூவிதழ் அது
அவன் கண்களை துளைத்து
நினைவினை விழுங்க
உயிருற்ற சிலையானான்
வாசம் கண்டவள்
சில்லென்ற தூறல் பட்டவளாய்
தன்னுள்ளே மலர்கின்றாள்!

மயக்கமென்ன?
