இணையத்தில் ஆரம்பித்த பரிமாற்றம்,
என் நெஞ்சினில் வந்தது தடுமாற்றம்.
இதயங்கள் இன்று இடமாற்றம் !
தூதில் வளர்ந்தது காதல் சிந்தனை !
மின்வெட்டுகள் ஒன்றே நிந்தனை !


குழி விழும் கன்னத்திலே,
மோக அலைகள் அடிப்பதென்ன ?
காதலில் மூழ்கி தவிக்கின்றேன்;
இதய தேவதையும் சிரிப்பதென்ன ?
தேவகன்னியும் சிரிக்கும் போது
இன்ப அமிலம் தான் சுரப்பதென்ன ?
கடவுளை நாடும் பக்தன் போலே
உன் பெயரை நித்தம் நான் படிப்பதென்ன ?

இணையத்தில் ஆரம்பித்த பரிமாற்றம்,
என் நெஞ்சினில் உருவானது தடுமாற்றம்.
இதயங்கள் இன்று இடமாற்றம் !


தூதில் வளர்ந்தது காதல் சிந்தனை !
மின்வெட்டுகள் ஒன்றே நிந்தனை !
கலவி அறிந்து குறுநகை புரிந்தது,
தனிமையை உணர்ந்த நம் பஞ்சனை !


குழி விழும் கன்னத்திலே,
மோக அலைகள் அடிப்பதென்ன ?
காதலில் மூழ்கி தவிக்கின்றேன்;
இதய தேவதையும் சிரிப்பதென்ன ?
தேவகன்னியும் சிரிக்கும் போது
இன்ப அமிலம் தான் சுரப்பதென்ன ?


குறுந்தகவலில் அனுப்பிய முத்தங்கள்
உன் குறும்பின் முன்னுரையோ?
என் தேகத்தில் படரும் உன் விரல்கள்
காமன் கலையில் தொடர்கதையோ?


சிவந்த ரோஜா மலரோ உன் தேகம்
குளிர் தென்றலை போலே தழுவட்டுமா?
ஒரு வண்டாய் மாறி உன்னிதழ்கள்
பதுக்கும் தேனை பருகட்டுமா ?
கடவுளை நாடும் பக்தன் போலே
காதல் சிந்து நித்தம் படிக்கட்டுமா?

நாணும் காதல்(லி)

கொடியிடையின் பவனியிலே பூநெஞ்சமும் சிதையுதே !
துளி சிந்திய பார்வையில் மயக்கமும் பிறக்குதே !
உன்னோடு இருக்கையிலே என் இளமை தடுமாறுதே !


கைகளால் முகத்தை மறைத்தது நாணமோ?
காதலன் தீண்ட பெண்மையும் நாணுமோ ?
தென்றல் தீண்ட மலரும் மறுக்குமோ?
அலைகள் நனைக்க கரையும் தடுக்குமோ ?

பூவுக்குள் மணம் பிறந்த அதிசயம் தான் என்ன ?
நெஞ்சுக்குள் காதல் வந்த ரகசியம் தான் என்ன ?
பக்தியின் ஒளியில் கடவுள் தென்பட்டது போல்,
உன் அன்பின் ஒளியில் காதலை உணர்ந்ததென்ன?

Love happens

Whenever I write a post a poem in my blog, some ( who don’t write poems) ask me the imminent question,”So you write only love poems?”. A lot of our bloggers/poets would have faced this question as well. This is a simple question which has a broad range of answers. Even before we answer them, they come to any one of the following conclusions -

• you are in love at present
• you have been ditched by your girlfriend/boyfriend in the past
• you are hopelessly romantic(this is not a compliment) and
• you don’t have any work at office to keep you occupied.

Well, since they don’t really care about our answer to that question, we will leave them there.
Plato said, “At the touch of love, everyone turns into a poet”. The first poem by any person would have been about love. Of all the emotions at our disposal why do we rate love above all? Why do we use eloquent, bombastic, superfluous words and compulsively try to write a poem when we are in love? Because when we are angry we are going to hit that person with all the force instead of writing a poem to express our anger,pain and rage


Falling in love brings a lot of changes in you(growing beard or thinning down on failure is excluded).There would have been songs but you pay attention to the lyrics only when you are in love. The flowers are always there in your way, but you see the roses only when you are in love. The sunset is always pleasant, but you didn’t have the time to appreciate it before. The rainbow never looked beautiful until your girl wears it in her duppatta. Cool breeze, wonderful flowers, beautiful nature, Kannadasan poems etc were all there, but you acknowledge these only when you are in love.
For some writing poems is a side-effect of falling in love. But it becomes a not-so-pleasant experience for the readers when they become compulsive poets. They start writing an essay with only 4 words in a line and call it a poem.


There is an universal emotion that connects all the people in this world which is love. Though love marriages are accepted in India, at times it is being subject to suppression based on various factors. Parents should help their children in finding the right life partner and guide them in distinguishing between love, infatuation and deception. But how many of the parents are doing this is a big question, that leaves us with a unsatisfactory response.


காதலினால் மானிடற்கு கவலை தீரும்
காதலினால் கவிதை உண்டாம்
காதலினால் சாகாதிருத்தல் கூடும்
ஆதலினால் காதல் செய்வீர் உலகத்தீரே !


“Mahakavi” Bharathiyar was called “makkal kavingar”( poet of the masses). His above verse has been made immortal by us, but still we whole heartedly promote “love”, only if it happens in our neighbour’s house. We all crib for change to happen but we don’t do anything to make that change.

Tips for Fairy tale ending

I have decided to share some tips for people who single and ready to mingle. Well , I am not a big guru / expert in this area, but I have heard this from others or read in other sites or magazines. I am sharing this for the benefit of all single souls

Have a clear idea of what you expect from your life partner. You would be spending the rest of your life and sharing your joys/sorrows with this person. So know your needs.
Think through the qualities that you are expecting from your “dream girl” or “dream boy” . Separate them under 2 categories as “one that you can compromise on” ( not so high on your priority list) and “ones that are MUST” ( these characteristics MUST be present in your valentine).


If you are looking for someone who is good looking, highly educated and well earning spouse(which most of us would ), now priotize these 3 in order of your preference. You may like to a beautiful and highly paid spouse(money/earning factor) and compromise on educational qualification….or it can be any of the combination with these 3 qualities.

Understand that life is full of compromises.When you never get your complete spec in software, how do you expect life to fulfill all your expectations. You will come across people who have their positives and negatives. Your prioritization of expectations and compromises will help you in identifying if the person whom you are dating/ thinking to date, will be your perfect life partner.
Love makes sparks fly in the atmosphere. If you have already decided your “date”, but not yet proposed to her, try to look for hidden signs of attraction or interest. Send subtle signals to the person and keep looking for positive signals. A genuine smile , a good morning wish or coffee breaks together will break the ice and catalyse the cupid’s reaction in the other person. But if the other person is not showing any signs of interest, read that as well…at least it would save you from broken heart and sad times


Never propose to any girl on first sight or in a few days of friendship. Chances of that girl declining is 99% ! Girls take their own sweet time and remember you are always in a BIG queue [ even if the girl is very ordinary ... cos guys are generally big-hearted and they cant see a girl stay without having a lover ] .


If you have already completed the formalities of proposal and its acceptance, ensure that your date is equally committed about getting married with you, even if its against his/her parent’s wishes. If you are committed and your partner is not ready to wait for you, then it doesnt make sense to love them While saying that, it also hold good that you are also ready to stand up for your love, and have the courage to talk it out with your parents.


These are only some of the tips and they are not completely concrete. There cant be any perfect recipes for a fairy tale wedding and similarly not every single person’s issue be solved with these tips. But still, from these abstractions, everyone can conclude on their love situation. For those who are in love, every day is a celebration of love.

Lets celebrate love :)

IPL Review

After a long time , i have decided to post something in my blog again… but I dont know what to post. Rants and Raves are not my cup of tea nor is a movie review, as I hardly see new ones.Its not that I dont see new movies, but I watch them after I am pretty sure that its a good one. So by the time I review one, it would futile for the readers to even click on my link. Publishing pictures is again another area where I would definitely try my hands on as I do take a lot of pictures, but I am too lazy to post them online. Poems around love, romance and haikus used to be my forte, which surprisingly isnt so for the last few months. So I have deicided to post a review about a movie kinda fare, which opened with big expectations but unfolded so badly like a Vijay movie[pls 4give fans of vj{ if that group still exists } ]. Its going to be about IPL our Indian cricket team . Feel free to post your thoughts as comments, but please be polite & courteous to others.


In our country, cricket is the more than a sport or religion, it is a passion. Just like every other acts of mimickry that we do with the westeners, we have embraced the game and have taken it to the next level , which was not even possible in its own country. There used to be a time when cricket was an uniting factor for all the Indians, but today it is a differentiating one. The whole concept of IPL has changed our Indian cricket , only for the worse. How is this going to affect India’s position in the ICC ? How it might affect India and Indians? Lets look at some of the probabilities, but believe me, some of these probabilities might have already turned into realities!


Any team will perform well, only if it has 1) a good leader,2) an achievable target and 3)most of all teamspirit/ friendship(or alteast good terms of understanding) among the players. Until the IPL happened, the team was gelling well and we sensed the positive vibes and it showed when India won the Inaugural ICC WT20 championships. For the cricketers, accolades and adulations poured in followed by millions of US dollars. One shrewd business mind aka Lalit Modi, identified the opportunity to dig gold at the expense of Indian cricket and created IPL. Earlier we used to have one captain and one VC to be used as a stand-in skipper.. The team used to look to the skipper for inspiration and encouragement. There used to be bowling and batting partners who would put their best for India. So there was friendship and teamspirit in the Indian team. But today IPL has opened a pandora box, where by almost 8 of the 11 best players of India(the numbers may increase with the creation of Kochi & Pune teams), can guide a team with both Indian and foreign players. While it brings out the best leadership skills in them, it also creates a rift between the players themselves who will not gell together when they come back to play for the country. The cash providing corporates are hell bent on driving these players to hell. First of all, IPL was supposed to be only an entertainment. Cricket is a game and not business. Even their stocks dont keep rising, but they expect their team to win all the games and put the players under unnecessary stress levels. Sports itself is about relieving your stress and not getting into one. The corporates who own the IPL are percieving it as a business assignment. I wonder what do they get if their team wins the final of IPL??? Were they not supposed to promote the sports? What was the need to play almost 2 months of tiring IPL, a domestic tournament until 5 days before an important international tournament like WT20? Was IPL not a promise of pure sports and bringing new talents for the better of Indian cricket? Is Lalit Modi the sole culprit of India’s debacle? The answer is a big NO!. BCCI is also equally responsible for the disastrous show.


India has been bragging a lot about its unique unity in diversity factor which amusingly we can see only in the last 100 years or so, when a lot of states ruled by different kings and people speaking different languages, following different religion were forced to unite, by the racist acts of a powerful imperialist nation. We have not even completed a century of united India but we have faitfully went back to our old ways, by differentiating among ourselves based on state and language to the extent of even depriving millions of water. And now one more factor has come in our way, our own backyard IPL team! Bhajji for whom you used to pray 2 years ago is now your hate-list. Folks who once batted for Dravid, are now plotting his downfall in their minds.


I am not saying that you shouldn’t support a team or have a favourite one in IPL, but the way in which you chose your team is what pitiable; supporting an IPL team based on your state is the worst form of sectarianism or racism. People who are not interested in such sectarian thoughts are slowly brain-washed by the regional FMs and TV channels. Why do tamil channels have to give score updates of only Chennai matches? Wont any tamilian be interested to know Ganguly’s score or cheer for Sehwag? We were united as one big nation many a times in the past, but as soon as the ruling power wanes, we have disintegrated and been an easy prey for others. One just can hope that the history doesnt repeat itself. Is this like making a storm out of tea cup or is it going to be a butterfly effect? Only time can tell and I wish to be an optimist!
