The ONE

People are good at hurting.
I'm good at getting hurt.

People are good at making friends.
I'm good at losing the existing ones.

People are good at enjoying.
I'm good at crying for not.

People are good at achieving.
I'm good at not using my little skills.

People are good at sharing their feelings.
I'm good at searching for people to share with.

And finally...
     People are good at understanding.
     I'm good at misunderstanding.

Proof:
     All the above...

Many share many with many.
I share everything with few.

Many are almost self-centered.
Me too..! At the center of my "few".

Many have imperfect completions.
I have only some perfect incompletions.


Reason for writing all these:
It's not about
     what happened to me.
It's ALL about
     who made it happen to me.

The ONE...
     The one i like(d)...
     The one i love(d)...
     The one among my "few"...

But not anymore...!

"few" has become "fewer"...! :(

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....

வேண்டாம் மைத்துனா வேண்டாம்!

சமீபத்தில் வெளியான திரைப்பட பாடல் ஒன்றைப் பற்றி இங்கு எனது பார்வையைத் தெரிவிக்க வந்துள்ளேன். அது என்ன பாடல் என்பது இந்நேரம் உங்களுக்குத் தெரிந்திருக்கும். ஆம். 'OK.OK' என்றழைக்கப்படும் 'ஒரு கல் ஒரு கண்ணாடி' என்ற படத்தின் 'வேணாம் மச்சான் வேணாம்' பாடல் தான்.   கலியுகக் கவிஞர் நா.முத்துகுமார் எழுத, நகலக நாயகர் ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜ் இசையமைக்க, வேல்முருகன் மற்றும் நரேஷ் ஐயர் இப்பாடலைப் பாடியிருக்கின்றனர்.   மிகவும் அருமையான பாடல். மீண்டும் மீண்டும் கேட்கத் தூண்டும் பாடல். எல்லாவற்றிற்கும் மேல், குறிப்பாக, பெண்களைப் பற்றி பல கருத்துக்களைக் கூறும் பாடல். இதில் ஆச்சரியம் என்னவென்றால், இது சங்க-காலத்துப் பாடலின் நடையைக் கொண்டிராவிட்டாலும், பண்டைய தமிழ்நாட்டின் பழக்க-வழக்கங்களைக் பிரதிபலிப்பதாய் அமைந்துள்ளது.   ஒவ்வொரு வரியையும் எடுத்து நமது கலாச்சாரத்துடன் ஒப்பிட்டுப் பார்க்கலாம்.   வஞ்சர மீனு வவ்வாலு, கிடைச்சா கெளுத்தி விரலு இருக்கு மீச இராலு இறங்கி கலக்கு கோபாலு! பழங்காலத்தில் சமூகங்கள் பெரும்பாலும் நீர்-நிலை சார்ந்தே இருந்து வந்தன; ஆதலால் வஞ்சரை மீனும்...

Belur & Halebidu - II

So we came out of the Hoysaleshwara Temple Complex  and  proceeded to the nearby Jain Temples. There was a single complex with huge shrines for 3 deities: Aadhinatha , Paarshvanatha & Shaanthanatha . And as with most other ancient temples, there were intricate sculptures all over, not wasting an inch. There was HUGE statue of a Thirthankara, must be one of the 3 I had mentioned earlier, but don't know who. Made of a SINGLE rock, he looks magnificent, with a serpentine holding his back and serving as an umbreall. And there's a signature smile - which is the best of anything you'd come by. And another one, again, forgot who - was just standing there, with nothing adorning him. Nirvana, perhaps. But philosophy aside, I loved the hairstyle! I'm even sporting a similar one now! ;) A *slightly* revamped version of the last one. Just for a wallpaper with a dark background. Well, with the Shiva temple right next to this comple...
