கமலஹாஸ்யம்

As usual, I tried writing a வெண்பா, on Kamal Haasan's birthday, but could complete only later.

கலையிற் சிறந்த கலைமா மணியே
மலையா யுயர்ந்த மனமோ ஹினியே
எளியோர்க் அயரா துயரமு தீட்டிடும்
எங்கமல ஹாசனே வாழ்!

இது பல விகற்ப இன்னிசை வெண்பா


I had originally written வாடா கமலஹாச னே for the சிந்தடி, the last line, but veeba pointed out that கருவிளங்காய் isn't allowed but avalokitam doesn't include it its rules.

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

Mahabalipuram - a little journey

Image
Chennai. May 5, 2012.  No wonder I was being roasted. I still started off to Mahabalipuram taking my first step in the challenge GoUnesco . The route is quite popular. One just gets on to the East Coast Road (ECR) enjoying the sea that accompanies all the way. I started from T.Nagar, reached Kelambakkam, got a share auto to Kovalam by-pass and waited for a bus there. As there wasn't any then, asked for a lift, got to hop into a car and met a cute little kid with a cuter English. Got to know that her mother tongue was Tamil, but she refused to switch to that saying, "If I talk in Tamil, it feels weird! I like my cartoon accent more!" Even interesting, her ancestors were from Needamangalam, a village near Thanjavur. So much for Tamil these days! Well, I was taken for a good distance, and then again got a share auto to Mahabalipuram. I've been there earlier, but this time, the place was completely different. Thanks to a political meeting, the place was littered all
