கனவுகள் கரையலாம்

கனவுகள் கரையலாம்
நினைவுகள் மறையலாம்
கடமைகள் தடுக்கலாம்
இரவு முடியாதோ!

ஒரு முறை இந்த உலகம் தான்
மரு கனம் எங்கும் கலகம் தான்
ஒரு துணை கொண்டு உலவ தான்
காதல் பிறக்காதோ!

கரைகளும் மலைகளும்
அலைகளும் இலைகளும்
மேகமும் தாகமும்
ஏக்கமும் தூக்கமும்

இளைய கோவின் இசையதில்
வாழ்வு மூழ்காதோ!

மடமைகள் ஒழியலாம்
ஒளியதும் பிறக்கலாம்
பாரிதும் செழிக்கலாம்
நெஞ்சம் ஏங்காதோ!

ஒரு உடல் இன்று மடியலாம்
கடலதில் சென்று முடியலாம்
மனததில் சோகம் மூளலாம்
அன்பும் விலகாதோ!

கனவுகள் கரையலாம்
நினைவுகள் மரையலாம்...

A Tamilian's Tribute to an Apple

Share Am terribly disappointed. For a lot of reasons. But the most, by one. "A man's value/influence on this society is determined by the no. of heads that mourn on this death" , it's said. A legend has just passed away. Not less than a week ago. And what have done other than FB status msgs, Twitter taggings, a few +1's and by some stone agers' Orkut scraps...? He'd never asked me to buy any of the products of his company. Neither did I care to think of it since they were more clearly overpriced. But how could such a legend not be here from India...? There has to be an Indian connection , did I think. Not that this is the only country that can host such a genius. But yet, when we don't / cant have something, it's at least a bit soothing to celebrate it as if it were ours. We Indians are still proud of Aryabhatta/Bhaskara for giving this world it's greatest digit ZERO and other jaw-dropping gyans. Be it Bhagavad Gita/Thirukkural.

Day 3 - 16th Dec. 2012

There was a nerdy guy fiddling with his mobile at the waiting room in Jalgaon Railway Station & I approached him asking him about his time of departure, for he could wake me up for mine. He said that he had a train by around 1 AM, and I had asked him to wake me up by then. I had plugged my phone & camera for charging, which stopped working later, and all I had was my bag which I used as a pillow and went for sleep trusting that stranger. Okay. This plug point not working n battery going down. Mein sO jaa rahaa hoon. — Rules Raghavan (@vrraghy) December 16, 2012 But he kept his word. He woke me up by 1, and I was awake since then, and with extreme drowsiness bugged the station master in my broken Hindi about my train Mumbai-Ferozpur-Punjab Mail. It was already 02:30, and looking at me shuttling between the waiting room & the station master, a mid-aged woman, [by Tamilian instincts, an "aunty"] pacified me and pointed me to the right train. I was quite sc

Day 2 - 16th Dec. 2012 - I

For the first time in a long time, I was responsible enough to wake up by 04:30 even right at the second alarm. It wasn't a room with an attached bathroom, and hence the price 250. The mosquitoes had been having a good dinner all night, while I would've easily lost a litre of blood when I was off. I was told the previous night that there would be hot water available anytime after 4, and that I could come downstairs and ask the attendant. So did I. I was told that it would take another half an hour, and I sneaked out hoping to get a coffee, and bwoy , I did! A couple was running a mobile tea-stall, and the lady gave me the coffee with a good smile. Something more than just business, and I love such. While I was savoring the extra strong Nescafe , a police patrol jeep stopped right next to me, screeching. Nothing to fear, but was still kinda scared. And the logo on the jeep's door read: || सद्रक्षणाय खलनिग्रहणाय || Sadrakshnāya Khālanīghrahanāya Sanskrit for "T
