To live is the punishment!

வாழ்வே த‌ண்ட‌னை!

ஓடும் இர‌யிலை எறிய‌ விட்டான்
ஓயா ரெள‌த்திர‌ம் பழ‌கி விட்டான்
அற‌த்தின் பொருளை மற‌ந்து விட்டான்
அழிவின் பாதையில் சென்று விட்டான்
சூழ்ச்சிக‌ள் ப‌ல‌செய்து ப‌ழ‌கி விட்டான்
சூழ‌லையும் அவ‌னுட‌ன் அழித்து விட்டான்
க‌ருவையும் குழ‌ந்தையையும் கொல்லுகிறான்
பெண்ணையும் க‌ர்ப்பையும் சிதைத்துவிட்டான்
ச‌கோத‌ரத்துவ‌த்தை அழித்து விட்டான்
ச‌க‌தியில் வாழ‌ ப‌ழ‌கி கொண்டான்
ஆக்க‌ம் வேலையை நிறுத்தி விட்டான்
அழிக்க‌ இன்றொரு ச‌ப‌த‌ம் கொண்டான்
தாயை கொல்ல‌வும் துணிந்து விட்டான்
தாலிக‌ள் அறுப‌ட‌ சிரித்து நின்றான்
ப‌டுகொலை செய்வ‌தை ப‌ழ‌கி விட்டான்  அதை
ப‌ட‌ம் பிடிப்ப‌தில் ஏனோ பெருமை கொண்டான்
மூத்திர‌ ம‌ண்ணாய் ம‌க்கி போனான்  தான்
ம‌னித‌ன் என்ப‌தை ம‌ற‌ந்து போனான்
க‌ட‌வுள் இதுக‌ண்டு கோப‌ம் கொண்டான்
ம‌னித‌னை த‌ன்டிக்க‌ இற‌ங்கி வ‌ந்தான்
உல‌க‌ம் இருக்கும் இருப்பை க‌ண்டான்
இதுவே த‌ண்ட‌னை என திரும்பி விட்டான்!

- வெ.பிர‌ஷாந்த்

Indraiya Kuyil Paattu!

இன்றைய‌ குயில் பாட்டு

கேள‌டா மானிடா எம்மில்
ம‌த‌ பிரிவுக‌ள் இல்லை
குண்டுக‌ள் வைப்ப‌தில்லை  இன‌
ச‌ண்டைக‌ள் எம்மில் இல்லை
வாழ்வினில் அச்ச‌மில்லை  என்றும்
மான்புட‌ன் வாழ்வோம‌டா!

ஒருவ‌ரை ஒருவ‌ர் கொல்ல‌
ஒருபோதும் அறிந்த‌தில்லை
திட்ட‌ம் தீட்டியே கொல்ல‌  இங்கு
தீய‌வ‌ர் எவ‌ருமில்லை
உங்க‌ள் பிற‌ப்பினை க‌ண்டு  முன்பு
போற்றி துதித்த‌துமுன்டு
உங்க‌ள் வாழ்வினை க‌ண்டு  இன்று
உம்மிட‌ நிணைத்த‌லுமுன்டு
ம‌த‌ பிரிவுக‌ள் சொல்லி  அதில்
ம‌க்க‌ளை ச‌ன்டையிட‌ செய்வார்
ம‌த‌த்தை காப்ப‌தாய் சொல்லி
ம‌க்க‌ளை கொன்றிட‌ முனைவார்
ம‌த‌ பிரிவினை அழித்தால்  வைய‌ம்
வாழ்ந்திட‌ உருவ‌கையாகும்.

Merciless

I heard a lot about the recent law college issue.  For the uninitiated read on @ http://www.hindu.com/2008/11/14/stories/2008111454210400.htm

College, though not devoid of clashes between groups, I thought was fun! At least to me it was. During a period which is supposed to be a platform for people to move with others regardless of the class, caste or creed, here are our future responsible LAW people indulging in inhuman practice. Worst is that they were beating each other in the complete view of police. I do not know why the police did not act to stop the incident. It was CRAZY like Hell. Having just seen the video, I am robbed of words. I cannot write any more abt this.

Though, I heard about this incident some time in last week, the impact dawned upon me only on seeing the video of the clash. Not for the weak hearts....Video is here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozp2DYs4yBA 

If such is the behavior of the future lawyers then GOD BLESS INDIA! Every student must put their head down in shame. Shame on you people...SHAME ON YOU!

Vaaranam Aayiram

Yaanaikkum adi sarukkum! (Elephant can also slip)

This supposedly tribute to Goutham Menon's late Dad is by far his worst movie so far. Surya's effort has been completely wasted. For Surya its like scoring 200 and still ending up on losing side. My sympathies! Tests your patience to core!

Songs are beautifully picturized, though.

Nandri. Vanakkam!

Partiality...

Mr.Karunanidhi - for all the respect you commanded by means of your work in tamil literature, art and for the state of Tamil Nadu, you would have done well not to have gone public with your sentiments on Hindus wearing sacred ash on their fore head.

I seriously do not understand the concern. Time and again, he picks a needle to prickle with the sentiments of hindus. If they prefer to wear sacred ash, so be it. There are helluva other concerns to be addressed in this state. And he doesn't dare to touch the sentiments on other religions. I presume an atheist doesn't believe in existence of God as claimed by any religion. So if he claims to be one, he got to denounce all. Why bashing only one section?

This action of his, the seasoned politician that he is, is to merely distract the people from other compelling issues. He played the "God sent" trump card of Srilankan Tamil issue for some time to keep people occupied. Now that one is shunning down, he had to resort to playing his old trick of Hindu bashing. What really bothers him about wearing a sacred ash or wearing a sacred thread is some thing that is beyond my capacity to comprehend.

So Mr.Kalaignar avargale, If you want to follow some thing, follow it. We do not give a damn about it and we do not expect others to dictate what we should do about our religious sentiments. So please buckle up and get back to your work. One entire state is waiting for you to do something for them. You would be better placed to answer that call.

Peace!

Meaningless Mortals

Before I dwell upon the topic of this post, I wish to say that I am not anti-(anything). Every body think what they do is right.

I was shell shocked to listen to some of the speeches made by so called "Maar thattum" tamizhans. I have no intention whatsoever to listen to any pro-LTTE speeches. But I thought this agitation was all about the ill-treatment rendered to the fellow Tamils in the land of Sinhalese. And hence I watched it.

Alarmingly, almost every one of them delivered a pro-LTTE speech. The LTTE proposal (a parallel proposal drafted by them) says they and SL will have one cabinet each, one prime minister each albeit under one president of SL. It is like an autonomous college operating under an university but not bound to any of the rules of the university. This is some thing that impacts the sovereignty of SL and how can another country interfere in this kind of an internal affair?

I am also puzzled when they claimed that LTTE is not a terrorist outfit. I mean if IM, LeT or any other outfit that bomb, conduct suicide attacks demanding Kashmir from India can be labelled as terrorist outfits then certainly LTTE falls under this bracket and to openly support it is, according to me, supporting terrorist activities in neighbouring island nation. The cries from them asking Indian government to interfere and ask military to enter in to ceasefire should be brushed aside as rubbish. As Smt.Jayalalitha rightly pointed out, LTTE would use this time to rebuild their arms wing and retaliate strongly.

Had only people talked about the suffering on Tamil people in the island nation, it would have been much better. Please... learn to differentiate LTTE and the innocent Tamils bearing the grunt of the military oppression. We need to talk for the innocents and not the outfit. The common people nursing their wounds, both physically and mentally, need our moral support and not the outfit.

I think these people must shut up and carry on with their own business unless they know what exactly they should be talking in these meetings. Do they really know what they are standing up for?

I stand for the rights of Tamils in SL 100% and at the same time I am 0% with these outfits because of their chosen modus operandi. For their cause might be noble but they resorted to inhuman practices. If these were to be achieved by means of peaceful dialogues, world would have been much better. I will use couple of Mahatma's quotes to close this. "Non-violence has its own share of difficulties. It tests the people abiding by it to the core. But it also promises success in the end"
"He who volunteers to serve a band of dacoits by working as their career or their watchman or their nurse when they are wounded is as much guilty of the dacoity as the dacoits themselves"

---Peace----
