Rain, the Sea of Love..

The wind that blows with a tempest can be withstood but never remembered without shudders. But the gentle breeze that floats through the warm summer evening:..many
a recollection flows with the passing of years..the scent it bore in its wings,
the sound it carried through..a feeling of deja vu arising with every wind passing thru the years....

Nobody reading this blog will ever understand what the title stands for..I was sitting in school today and thinking about my college days back in SVCE, when I was
struck by this thought. logged on quickly to the net and started off
so that among my many thoughts, this would not fail to get a mention...

It was probably in my pre-final year that this quiet guy with a great smile took my attention. Before that he never existed for me. He could not dance but could
appreciate music(not my kind though);) smile but never laugh; hold the light up but never lead.
He was at madhyamam at whatever he did. Never on a high but a silent presence nevertheless.

I ran into him when we were organising some cock and bull symposium at college. He smiled and there I was!!! floating on to seventh heaven...who is this guy? and
where has he been all this while?? were my only thoughts!!! I found out that he was a
senior and was graduating that fall. After moving with him for a few weeks, I came to like him very much. He was a student representative and we had to come along
a couple of times.

He taught me a lot of things: organising, interacting with poeple..okay!!thats not all. he taught me the meaning of love..what it was to love and what was true love.
...Not that we both loved each other. Our relation brooked no personal advances.. He taught
me a lot of things.. Among those to realize true love... I have been searching for it ever since...to no avail...

He is one of the few guys who have been imprinted in my memory..rain: the sea of love..wherever u are: U R REMEMBERED...this rainy cloudy day in Kentucky.....

kaalai kan vizhithathum vara villai un ninaivu,
Malai urangum mun endrum thondra un mugham,

Un mugham kaana aava..

Thedum paathangal tholainthu poga koodum,
Pathaigal mari payanagal mara koodum,

Tholai thooram sendren..Tholainthen..vizhithen...
(erukayil erunthu mattum nagara villai!! sombal!! )
Un mugham kaana aava...
