A dash of creative instincts

February has been my most unproductive month as a blogger. :)) I know you are smiling your lips off. But I shall call myself a blogger. :))

2 posts and both of them extremely critical and retrospective. I think when the mind is not at equilibrium with the body and the soul..what you get is mediocrity. I am in India for the season. Yes. Season. I am going to be here all summer..till end of May. I wish to get a respite from all my ..... and think about material for kshetra.

I am trying to fit the Ramanathapuram district, Rameswaram, Thirupullani, Kodikarai and the chozha era for this trip. Hopefully I can make a cameraful of incidents.

I have been twenty days into the trip and no stirring from home..Hmmmmmmmmm..purring like a satisfied cat. Happy and contented.

Be back soon with a variety of chennai happenenings.. Worst thing to happen was a serial called Suriyah I chanced/ rather risked watching this morning. APPALLED!!!!!

Hindu(hard copy) + coffee (amma)...hmmm. Heaven on Earth.

Akila arriving from Hyderabad tomorrow for an extended(looong) weekend. Hoping to hit a few spots along the East coast road and view the damage(not the Tsunami)

BE BACK SOONER THAN YOU THINK....

Athu Yennada athu?

Athu yennada athu?

Un peyar kettavuden mei silirkirathe?
Unnudan unnil vazhantha antha pala natkallai ninaikkayil,
en manam tholai thooram sendru unnudan inaikirathe?

Athu yennada athu?

Unnudan kazhitha andha mazhai kala ninaivugal,
en nenjin adivarathil erunthu bimbangalaai,
Naam serthu santhiththa minvettukallai ninaivu paduthugirathe?

Athu yennada athu?
Un chariththirathai en vazhaikayin ovvuru munaiyilum,
pinaika ninaikum pozhuthu varum poigal.

Athan kuraigalai maraikai virumbhum thudippu

Athu yennada athu?

Nam mottai madi ninaivugal,
nan unakku ezuthiya kathal kadithangal,
unnai patri jambam adithu konda kathaigal,

Athu yennada athu?

Unakku oru thuyaram endral uyir varai thudikirathe?
Vithi vasathaal pirinthalum,
mathiyin vasathil than nee erukirayai endra ninavu.
(Aaruthal)

Athu yennada athu?

un aganda veethigal(vizhigal allla)
En vilasama un vilasam(Thiruvallikeni)
Nan payindra un palli koodangal,

Nee enakku katruth thantha padangal,
nan vazhantha vaazhkai,
en nenaivugal, ninaipugal, neethi,
kathal, kavithai, kanavu yen unavaai..uyirai

Athu yennada athu?

Nee. endrum nee.
