உன்னோடு நானிருந்த ஒவ்வோர் மணித்துளியும் மரணப் படுக்கையிலும் மறக்காது கண்மணியே ...

வாழ்த்து

“என் தாய் சொல்லித்தந்த மொழி என்பதால்

தாய்த்தமிழ் மீது எனக்கு மிகையான காதலும் பக்தியும் உண்டு...

கல்கியின் எண்ண அலைகளிட்ட ஓசையில்

நான் தூக்கம் மறந்ததுண்டு...

சாண்டில்யன் வடித்த காதல் காட்சிகளை

கனவில் மறைந்திருந்து கண்டதுண்டு...

பாரதியார் கண்ணீர் சிந்திய வரலாறு படித்து

என் கண்கள் கண்ணீர் வடித்ததுண்டு...

கண்ணதாசன் தான் கடைசித் தமிழ்க்கவி என்று நான் வாதிட்டதுண்டு,

வைரமுத்துவின் வரிகள் படித்து நண்பர்களோடு சிலாகித்ததுண்டு,

முத்துகுமாரும் சிநேகனும், இன்னும் பெயர் தெரியாத எத்தனையோ திரையிசைக்கவிகளின் பாடல்களை என்னை மறந்து பாடியதுண்டு...

இறக்கும் வரை தமிழ் படிக்க ஆவலும், ஆசையும் உண்டு உண்டு !!!. “

தமிழ் ஒரு மொழி என்பதைத்தாண்டி, அது ஒரு நாகரிகத்தின் அடையாளம், உணர்வு என்று அர்த்தம் கொள்வதே சரி என்று நான் எண்ணுகிறேன்.

நாகரீகத்தின் படிநிலைகளான வேட்டையாடல் - நாடோடியாய்த் திரிதல் - கால்நடை மேய்த்தல் - கடலமெற்செரல் - உழவுசெய்தல் என்பனவற்றை குறிஞ்சி - பாலை - முல்லை - நெய்தல் - மருதம் என்று பகுத்துப்பார்த்து பாடியவர் நம் மூதாதையோர். தமிழ், தமிழர்க்கு மொழி மட்டும் அல்ல என்பதற்கு இதைவிட ஆதாரம் இருக்க முடியாது.

இப்படி தமிழரின் வாழ்க்கையில் பிரியாயிடம் பெற்ற தமிழ் மொழி, காலத்துகேற்ப தன்னை மாற்றி இது நாள் வரை நம்மை இன்புறச்செய்து வருகிறது.

சங்க இலக்கியமாய், ஈரடியாய், தோத்திரப்பாடலாய், புதுக்கவிதையாய், இக்கால 'ஹைக்கூ' வாய், உருமாறி தமிழனை விட்டுப் பிரியாமல் இருக்கின்ற கன்னித்தமிழில் வெளிவந்த சில படைப்புகளை இங்கு நான் பதிவு செய்ய விழைகிறேன்.

பகிர்வதன்றோ தமிழரின் குணம்!!!

Tag -1

Preface:

Lines from srivatsan's blog

"As i had already said,I'm like waiting for tags.Filling a tag is good time-pass and it makes us explore ourselves. And who will not like to tell the world how they feel??
So,Im filling up the tag sent to me by Kasabian girl.


More about the TAG:
The idea is, to list five items in each category and not necessarily in order of liking. You can always add or subtract categories according to your will. Then tag five mortals."

This is the first 'TAG' i am involved with & the person who chose me to get tagged was none other than Srivatsan (He is the reason behind many of us blogging nowadays, at least i & Ganesh) He also requested me to write nothing but the truth in this tag. I believe that i have been true to me atleast while writing this :-)

The list begins here...

My five favorite words:

1. THAMIZH (தமிழ் )

It is a word which make me feel proud, the sound of it make me remember that i am a part of a great history, a great custom.The passion for this language is not just because it is old or that i am born in a society where they speak Thamizh. I have a strange feeling that this language is immortal and it would interests people forever and ever...

2. GOKUL

This is the word i hear more than any other word in a day. So, for obvious reasons i started liking it.

3. COMMUNISM

The word would be strange for some, mis leading for many.. For me it is a 'Revelation'. Imagine a world where people work together harmoniously. No masters to govern, no slave minds, that would be the heaven in earth.

4. OM

I don't know whether it should be classified as just sound or a word. I go for the later though, as Vedas says that this sound has a meaning(the meaning is said to be a divine one known only by god, i don't buy that theory but still i like this word) It gives a serene feeling to the mind

5. XXXXX

Whats that? well, it is a secret :-)

My five favorite celebrity crushes:

1. to 5.

I have never involved with girls much. Well, we can reframe that previous sentence "Not many were involved with me :-)". So i was left with no other option than to fall for girls On-Screen. My first crush was Juhi chawla for the innocent role she played in 'Andaz apna apna', the it was Preity Zinta. Isnt her dimple enough!!! should one need any other reason?

Then my crush list took a turn from mumbai to kerala. Meera jasmine got my eyes fixed(Run, Ayudha ezhuthu, Kasthuri maan), Bavana looted me away with her innocent looks in the films'Chithiram paesudadi' & 'Deepavali'...

But thats it, they no longer interests me. The Bubbly- Chubby thing isn't sticking to them anymore. :-(


My five favorite random things:

1. MY PC

All my personal stuffs are loaded into this stupid box. Be it a photo of my friend, or songs i love, or whatever important in my life.. All those things are stored as 1's & 0's in this god damn box. Loot my PC and you can bring my daily activities to an halt!!!

2. MY ROOM

It looks most of the time like a scene of catastrophe(unless my amma or sis voluntarily spend time cleaning it & brings it to order) Every Boy.. err Man would love his room. Isnt it?
Its where i dream, I quench my anger, shed my tears... It has almost become a part of my life, like a companion. I LOVE IT

3. MY ONLY GADGET

I am not a gadget freak. Out of the 3 mobile i have :-), the one(& only) which i am currently using is my favorite. It holds some very important info from my past. So for those special reason, i add it to my list.


4. MARINA

It is a spot like the "The Room Of Requirement (HP)", 'A PLACE FOR EVERYONE & EVERYTHING'. I go to this place with different kind of thoughts & emotions and it never fails to satisfy me. It is the one thing i say proudly of chennai.

5. A SECRET

What are you looking for? I said it is a 'secret'. isn't it?

My five Favorite films

1. GUIDE (Hindi)

R.K. Narayan's story, S.D. Burman's music composition, Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman's flawless performance woven into an excellent film... they called it 'Guide'. It is a must watch for those who Likes to be in the field of film making or atleast as those who love films :-)

2. KAL HO NAA HO (Hindi)

'A walk To remember' & 'Aanand' are of the same plot, but this film steals the heart with the spectacular performance of SRK and the trio combo music composers makes every penny you spend for the film worth. It came in a decade when bollywood was too much busy in Hip shaking numbers & fierce fighting sequences!!!. Wonder if SRK would ever come again with a plot & performance like that.

3. Tamil M.A

It's a bold experimentation on screen accompanied & supported by 'Realistic' casting, Unconventional yet beautiful Cinematography, matured composition of music by young Yuvan, etc... held under one title by means of careful direction. The film wasn't a Box office hit, but i am sure that it is a mile stone in the history of Tamil cinema.

4 & 5...

Lot of films, but just two more slots?
That wouldn't be fair, So i am listing all other notable films here

The pursuit of happyness
Wall-E
A walk to remember
Dark Knight
Gone with the wind
Alai payudhey
Mouna raagam
Kanathil Muthamitaal
Naayagan
Veiyil
Salangai Oli
Anbe sivam
A wednesday
Mozhi
Mounam Paesiyadhey
Children of Heaven


The list would continue...

FRIENDSHIP DAY SPECIAL

This is for my friends...

"Misconceptions-My version"

If you think that the topic is so familiar, then that isn’t a misconception. I was forced to look back into my life by vatsan’s article on his misconceptions. It requires courage to break your illusionary image which you hold now and reveal the ‘part of stupidity’ in you. I carefully reveal the part of stupidity from my past alone :-)

So here I go to do two most unlikely things; write an article in English, & that too about my childhood beliefs (misconceptions)

Content Warning: The following article may contain loose sentences, worst vocabulary and even grammatical mistakes.

Stomach - A potential Farm land:

Whenever I swallow the seed of a fruit (not that of mango of course), I would have a shake in my shoes hoping that it will grow inside me and in the future the branches would pop out through my ears, mouth, nose..

I remember myself imagining before mirror how I would look after the tree has popped out.

Aliens under my ground:

I have spent hours lying down on earth, observing the sounds I hear on the floor. I fantasized that those were the sounds made by the aliens from the alien world beneath earth’s surface.

Coal maker:

Whenever I find a tree bark, I would bury it under some place and mark the location in my note. After every month or two i go to that place and unearth the tree bark to check whether it is transforming into a piece of coal.

(i left that hobby, after I noticed that they change into nothing but a house of worms.. my school pal ramesh & I have discussed for hours on how tree bark develops worms...)

Funeral service for butterflies:

I had a kind of dramatic love towards butterflies. Whenever I saw a dead butterfly on road, I would bury it near my house & many times i have sincerely prayed to god that he need to take care of its soul. Many times I would end up shedding tears.

(The highly contradicting fact is that, when my school pal who was close to me died, I thought it was just a part of life & not a matter to sob)

New world while i sleep:

At the beginning of every day I try to figure what I did while sleeping.

I mentored a theory that i escape from earth into some farther planet & live a different life while i sleep. I even framed proofs that dreams are just memories i carry from my life there in that alien planet.

Ice cream Mountains:

Once I have thought that the huge snowy icy mountains shown in the television are just heap of ice cream. I also believed that the push-cart ice cream vendor gets the ice cream stuffs from those mountains.

The macho man:

As the MTC bus vibrates owing to the engine idling, I would start pushing the front seat with both my hands.. Blimey!!! the bus would start moving.

Scoring Line in cricket:

Have you ever come across a term ‘One Run line’ in cricket field? Most of you wouldn’t have. For many years i thought the fielding restriction line as ‘one run line’. If the ball crosses the line, you score a run. Batsmen just run to change strike. That was my perception then...

Rubber manufacture:

Pour the rice porridge (the water in which you cook rice.. hmmm tamizhla ‘kanchi thanni’) into pen caps, and leave it for a day or two. You’ll have rubber in them. I did this experiment several times, backed by several of my school friends. Every time we would conclude that we have missed a special ingredient which is kept secret by companies like ‘Nataraj’ & ’Camlin’. We tried washing powder, egg, tooth paste, etc as the special ingredient, but in vain.

Appropriate place for a quote-

“ I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work" - Thomas A. Edison.

:-)

The inventor:

In my school chemistry lab, i used to pour whatever chemicals i have access to into a test tube hoping that i will end up in finding something accidentally..

Its needless to say that it has never happened.

The misconceptions / foolish beliefs i had after my school days are left out intentionally.

SOME OF 'MY' Quotes

I personally don't think that your words are really 'yours'... We borrow personality, words and even part of our so-called-rationalist thinking from 'men of the past'(Generally from those who are called either successful, or philosophers by the world).

I am posting some of my own words(just a claim!!!) & if it coincides exactly with someone else's words, then it is just coincidental & i assure that i wont take any legal action against the other person. I expect the same from him, though... in first place :-)


Quotes :

• "Remembrance is the thing which most of the people forget to give to their loved ones"

• "If you want to forget someone then forget the thought of forgetting"

• "The wars of this world can have only one reason, either it should be 'the love for war' or 'the war for love'. "
• " 'Unconditional faith sans expectations' is a divine elixir.. give it to the one, for whom you could lose your self respect"
  

• " Your shadow is the best companion you could ever have. In the lights of joy, it will be definitely with you, though unnoticed...In the darkness of sorrows, it will be the only one with you.. all around you."

Catcha later:-)
