Nallador veenai seidhe....
I happened to learn a poem composed by Mahakavi Subramanya Bharati...I aint no scholar in Tamil... but this song touched my heart... the meaning is just awesome...
நல்லதோர் வீணை செய்தே , அதை நலம் கெட புழுதியில் எறிவதுண்டோ ..
சொல்லடி சிவசக்தி எனை சுடர் மிகும் அறிவுடன் படைத்துவிட்டாய்
வல்லமை தாராயோ இந்த மாநிலம் பயனுற வாழ்வதற்கே
சொல்லடி சிவசக்தி !!! நில சுமை என வாழ்ந்திட புரிகுவயோ??
Many great people in this world have considered themselves to be a burden to the world...then imagine what we humans should do to not be a NILA SUMAI!!!!!

The Kite Runner
A gift long forgotten....
My friend felt that a book would be my most ideal birthday present.... I had appreciated her token of love ( but hadn't read a word of that book....) And little did i know that the very same book she gifted me would change my panorama of life....
Hear ye.... The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseni is more than just a story.... If one believed in fate or 'Karma' this book could help you understand it better.... that is....how it works!!!!
I am no saint.... i sinned in my past and i am sinning today too.... But after reading this line in that book i feel better!!...this line .... i may never forget in my life

"There is a way to be good again".
It is so simple, yet true....
The book is a must-read.... and see the YOU transform....
The Madras Margazhi experience
I jus love Chennai for one reason.... its always bustling with cultural activity.... and a special mention to the December Music season .... wow.... isn't it breath-taking to know that there are atleast a hundred concerts going on in every sabha or temple in the city!!!! and how i love that....!!!! Its feels so wonderful attending concerts right from the morning.... taking a break for lunch ( which would mostly be at the sabha canteen....) sitting thro' the afternoon concerts and enjoying the musical stalwarts singing in the evening....
As an audience and music rasika i just love this month.... but looking at the musician's perspective , i feel sad for them.... they really have to strain a lot.... one concert a month is itself such a challenge....and when they sing about thirty concerts in twenty days ( imagine their plight!!!!)
Nevertheless I am eagerly waiting for December '08!!!!
