A PEACEFUL WARRIOR

   If you are wondering what new I have got to say about the Iraq or Palestine issues, am sorry to disappoint you. I have only heard of wars in news or in history books but have won and learnt from (losing is really not in my dictionary ;) ), a lot of battles. Not just me, most people out there have never seen wars but have sustained a numerous life battles. Yeah! this is a tribute to all those who never care to fit in the box!

     Life is not a cake walk. Not even to the richest , most privileged and most fortunate! All of us face our own battles. But to fight as a warrior or to give up like a common man is upto an individual. For It is our choices that show what we truly are... far more than our abilities. In every choice you make in your life lies the real you. Most people choose the road already taken, to conform by the rules the society impose on them. A few question them and fewer stand up for themselves. Anywhere in the world, any liberal, logical  or creative thought is discouraged at first. The world is filled with stupid people who neither question anything or anyone, nor let others do the same. If you are a non-conformist you form and join a group of minority and we know how much respect minority receives. Most people are selfish. By selfish I don't refer to the ones who want to lead their lives as they wish. Instead I blame those who want others to lead the lives as they wish, Especially in a country like India where an individual is tied down through several knots( I just lost count how many :/) , logic and reasoning are almost banned. You let your parents live your life and then start living your children's lives! You teach what to think instead of how to think! You form an educational system that doesn't let students do anything but cram formulas and theories and yet you look for creative ones in the recruitment. You could easily donate to temple rather than to an unfortunate person! You could easily be cheated by God than humans! You give rights to your daughter, sister, girlfriend or wife to live as they wish (As if they don't have their right to life??!!)! Yes! Its a strange land where normalcy is overrated and success is considered to be more important than happiness. Amongst these so called normal people, live those abnormal idiots who want to know the reason behind every rule and practice being followed. And those idiots are continuously mocked and knocked down by the majority. And here we have been living in a democratic country for over 64 years(from 1950) thinking democracy as the rule of majority and not bothered about Equal representation.
 
    But even in such perilous times, where humans are digging their own graves with hatred, superstition, greediness and numerous other evil tools, some of us have sustained the idiocy around us and are ready to keep our minds open. Some have actually managed to understand that life is too short and precious to live within circles and boxes, and are ready to learn from everyone, respect humanity and be nothing but Original! The society judges a fish by its ability to climb a tree and makes every fish believe that it is a fool. But there are those rare and few golden fishes which realize their talent to swim and prove it to the society. Those brave golden fishes are the peaceful warriors! And in those hands lie the future of the mankind! :)

நிழல் தேடும் மரம்!!

அன்புள்ள மனிதா!! சுவாசமின்றி நீ தவிக்காமல் இருக்க.. உயிர்காற்று உமிழ்ந்தேன்... தாகம் என்பதை நீ அறியாமல் இருக்க.. மழைநீர் சுரந்தேன்... பசி உன் மீது படராமல் இருக்க... விளைச்சல் கண்டேன்... பனிவிழும் இரவுகளில் சுகமாய் குளிர்காய... சரகாய் உதிர்ந்தேன்... வெயிலில் நீ வாடாதிருக்க நிழல் தரவே... கிளைகள் கொண்டேன்... உனக்கென வாழ்ந்த போதேலாம் எண்ணிக் கொண்டேன்.. நான் உன் தாய் மரம் ! நீ என் சேய் வரம் ! என்று ! இப்போது தான் தெரிகிறது ! பெற்ற தாய்க்கு முதியோர் இல்லம் ! அதில் நானுமோர் அங்கம் ! அன்னையாய் அல்ல ! அணைக்கும் தூணாய் ! - இப்படிக்கு நிஜமெலாம் உனக்கு கொடுத்து விட்டதால் நிழல் தேடி அலையும் மரம் !!

Bitter Pills & Cotton Candies

Life is a jar of bitter pills and cotton candies (if you are not a fan of cotton candies, well.. just replace it with whatever you like). We want only those candies but we know the pills are there and eventually we will be made to swallow them. So, we have somehow made peace with that fact, at least that's what we keep telling ourselves before uttering those silent prayers for the pills to vanish. We know that sometimes awful stuff happen to us, we just need to get through those tough times and go ahead. We keep telling ourselves that the next in line is a cotton candy, so no need to worry..This way life is kept simple, manageable and even worthy. So what's the problem with that? It's delusional. For those who thought that swallowing the pills was the hard part, here is some news to digest... The word bitter was well chosen, but the word pill was definitely misleading. It suggested us that the bitter pills are few in number when compared to the candies and we would ...

மாயையினுள்ளே மயங்கி...!

நிஜமான அன்புடன் இரங்கல் செய்வோர், போலி புலம்பல்களுள்ளே  சிக்கித் தவிப்பதை பார்த்ததும் தோன்றியது.... தேசத் தந்தையின் முகம் பார்க்க  தேனிக்கூடென சேர்த்த கோடிகள் ! பெரியாருக்கு மாலையிட்டுவிட்டு  பெருந்திரளாய் கூட்டம் ஜோசியன் வாயிலில் ! கலாமின் கனவுகளை நினைவாக்க  கண்மணிகள் மூழ்கினர் முகப்புத்தகத்தில் ! 'அம்மா'வின் மரணம்  அலைஅலையாய்  போலிக்கண்ணீர் ! மலர்வளையங்களில் மட்டுமே மரியாதை ! அழுகையால் மட்டுமே அஞ்சலி ! கண்ணியமிலா கதறல் ! நாடகம் தான் இரங்கல் ! மாண்டோருடன் மறங்களும் , மண்ணுள்ளே மக்கிக் கிடக்கையில்... மாயத்தோற்றங்களால் ஆன குறும்படம்  மக்களின் மனத்திரையில் !
