I pride my solitude…

I Pride my Solitude

 

Calm and collected,

Pondering on old memories,

Savoring all gone moments,

I Pride my Solitude…

 

Clouds pass by,

Reminding the roads never taken,

Making me feel empty,

I Pride my solitude…

 

I pride my solitude,

Watching as it takes over me,

I face it with arrogance,

For, I Pride my solitude…

I Give Up!

 I give up! A taboo that society flinches to hear.

I give up! Saying it out loud could be frowned upon.

I give up! Probably, No parent should ever say

I give up! Seen as weakling phrase for a Feminist

I give up! Could be judged as an easy way out.

Sometimes, Life can get tiring

Mustering all the strength, all that could be said is “I give up”

A disappointment to one's parents

An irresponsible act towards family

A failure, lacking the fighting spirit

Blindsided with negatives...

Sometimes, It’s just too much to even stand back up

All is been done...

Everything has been tried

Yet, no way to fill the void

A disappointment....

A failure....

SOMETIMES, IT'S JUST THAT.

வீர விளையாட்டு


மிருகக்  கொலை, விலங்குரிமை என சப்பைக்கட்டு 
பல ஆயிரம் காரணம் சொல்லலாம் நீ இன்று 
எம் குல அடையாளமாம் 
எம் வீர தழுவலாம் 
எம் ஜல்லிக்கட்டு !

கட்டுண்டு போக பேடி என நினைத்தாயோ ?
சிதறுண்டு போக சிற்றெறும்பு கூட்டமென எக்களித்தாயோ?

எம் பாட்டன், முப்பாட்டன் முதற்கொண்டு 
மார் தட்டி, வீறு கொண்டு 
வீரத்தை பறைசாற்றிய 
விளையாட்டாம் எம் ஜல்லிக்கட்டு!

நெஞ்சை நிமிர்த்தி, நரம்பு புடைக்க 
மொழித் திமிரை விழியில் பூண்டு 
நம் மண் புகட்டிய ஆணவத்தை கொண்டு 
தறி கெட்டு ஓடச் செய் - 
அம்மாட்டையும், இந்நாட்டை நாறடிக்கும் 
சில சாக்கடைகளையும்...

வேட்டியை கட்டி, பேடியை விரட்ட 
வீறு கொண்டு நீ ஆடு 
ஜல்லிக்கட்டு !!!




அனைத்தும் சரி

தற்பெருமையும் தன்னடக்கம்தான் - அது 
தன் பேறுக்காய் இருக்கும்வரை...

அழகிய செருக்கும் பெருமைதான் 
அளவுக்கதிகமாய் ஆகும்வரை...

ஊர் போற்றும் நட்பும் நஞ்சாகும் 
உரிய நபர் தவறாய் இருப்பின் 

தோல்வியும் கல்வியாகும் - அது 
வெற்றியின் முதற்படியாய்  ஆகும் தருணம்.

மு ற் று ப் பு ள் ளி .


முடிவில்லா காவியத்தில் அழகேது ?
முதுமையேறிய வீரத்தில் செருக்கேது ?
சாகவரத்தில் சுகமேது ?

இலையுதிர் காலம், கண்ணகியின் கோபம்,
இளமையில் காதல் , முதுமையில் சாதல் - என 
வாழ்கையை மெருகேற்றுவதென்னவோ  முற்றுப்புள்ளிதானே !

வாழ்வில் நிலைத்தன்மையை தேடும் பேதையரே  
அறியுங்கள் - முடிவென்று ஒன்று இருக்கும்வரைதான் அனைத்தும் அழகு 
வாழுங்கள் இன்றே உங்கள் கடைசி பக்கம் என்று ...

A moment of Silence

A moment of Silence

Gone are the rationales
Buried those staunch Idealists
Right and wrong - No longer prevails
Life treads on a thin line

We tolerate... We co-exist... We survive...
Balancing as we go by
A moment of silence to the Rationales!!!

Lamentations!

Oh! The Lamentations..
How much I loved thee...
I had lived and breathed thee
But for what?
I am nothing? So I believed...

Oh, the lamentations... Not Now, Not anymore

I am a being
I am here, now and forever
As long as I can feel the breeze,
As long as I live and breathe
I shall prevail for I am a being...

Oh, the lamentations... Not now, Not anymore

Who is to judge anyone's worth?
Can never change me for who I am or what I've become
I am a being and I will fight thee
With all my might
For I am worth it
None can make me anything less

No one, Not Now, Not anymore

Thank you for stopping to click this beauty! 

Lone beauty

That you are, A Lone beauty; standing small yet fierceful
Undying spirit in a dying land, not yearning a drizzle
Scorching wind didn't wither ye...
Grew from nothing, without much to hold
Braving all, your beauty astonishing; 
Not many like ye...
Mortal beings; with support they cherish.

Mothers are the best forever and ever,,, Amen


I had always wondered, “Why such a fuss about motherhood? It is just their responsibility.” Or so many of us think and take her unconditional love for granted. But sit back and think as I did, “Has your mother hurt you anytime, hasn’t she always turned back and smiled at you even you hurt her again and again?” Tears rolling down answered me.

She is loving, kind and always forgiving. She had conceived, birthed and loved you. Yes, she was always correcting, only because she wanted you to become what you are now. Aren’t you now a fine young lady/gentleman with finesse etiquettes, a loving spouse who can be abided on, a devoted mother with unconditional love? To make you one like this the sacrifices she had made, humiliation she had underwent is enormous.

Yes, she would have annoyed you but never hurt you. Did she have problems with your friends back then? She was only protecting you. Think back, your days as a teenager, you would have thrown your maximum tantrums to your mother than anyone else. She was patient. She hugged you when you failed, she kissed you on your tears, and she guarded you when someone pointed at you.

A ruffian, thief or a murderer, to his mother he remains a child whom she had conceived, birthed and held so lovingly on her hands when they were born. Mothers are the only souls who earnestly pray for their children’s forgiveness no matter the depth of their sins. She can never tolerate any harm on us.

  • Have you made her cry out of helplessness?
  • Have you hurt her or used harsh words on her?
  • Have you neglected her or her health?
  • Have you humiliated her in public?
  • Have you criticized her on her motherhood?
  • Have you felt embarrassed to introduce her to your friends?
  • Have you teased her on her limited knowledge on current technologies?

If any ONE of your answer is YES for these questions, take time out on your busy schedule, take her outside, buy her a cup of coffee, and just listen to her. That’s all she wants from you for all above mentioned sacrifices she had made for you.

Happy Mother’s Day!!!
