RAIN, RAIN, COME ALWAYS

I sat in the car,
Traveled long, found a meadow,
The clouds played their percussion music,
A dazzling streak of lightening,
Made me aware of the rain.

A pearl-like drop of the virgin rain,
Took the seat on the greenish blade of grass,
Another companion of it’s went
Into the sand to explore the captives,
The underground water.

A coral bug was embedded on a jade leaf;
The trunk of the tree was given a dull finish
By.......the mist, and the rainfall
Tore the mist and was clear.

A bee sat sucking nectar
Had a good meal and left
Then a magnificent pair of hued wings
Ascended the floral throne
And fed on its delicacy.

My eyes noticed all these
But...did not notice the fantastic bow of colors- the rainbow.

Where is the Pa(Lo)st Bond?

Once best buddies, Sharing the greatness of their religions With each other, Amalgamating the two for a hybrid Din-il-lahi; The syncretic spirits that rose into rage When the crafty viceroy plotted For a crack in the Bengal presidency Have become dormant When the fissures were to occur In the great old civilisational center. What to call it? The reason 1. Personal 2. Fanaticism 3. Mark Antony mode of sedition.... O the third? Yes!!! Alas! The four cows are we? Fell prey to the lion Listening to the words of a sly fox. Once cousins and pals Casting explosives for vanquishing And the other shooting to defend not him But the country as his family, Losing his valuable life to guard the 'lives' of his countrymen.

Panmugam padaitha Kannagi

                                                                During our primary, all we know of Silappathikaram as one of the five great epics in Tamil. During the high school, a talented Tamil teacher would engage us for a span of half an hour and narrate the epic. The epic would be so concise. In the future stages, the teacher would read the poem from the informative Tamil text. The poem, “Thingal Potruthum...” is one of the best eco critical poems in Tamil literature. It is eco critical because, Ilango Adigal considers the sun, moon, the rain, the mountain and the place as a single entity. He is so philosophical that he shows these things as autonomous bodies and then gives priority to men. When our ages rose, our curriculum also grew. The teacher would always tell us that she would want the whole day as the breathing space to speak about the epic. The Tamil book had critical pieces. The best is “Kudimakkal Kaapiyam” by The.Po. Meenachisundaram Pillai. He is a very gifte

Puthumaipithan Enna Solgirar?

As usual, an introduction to something fresh is done by our teacher. One such idealistic influence on students like us was a freshener, the teacher introduced. We have a freshener in Tamil literature. He is called Puthumaipithan. The first respect I could give him is to remove the red line beneath his name by adding his name in the dictionary. This writer is a reformist. The writer became a very popular figure. In the life, he has led; he was blessed with the option to take his pen and paper to reform the country. Puthumaipithan was the writer of the story, “Kadavulum Kanthaswami Pillaiyum” (God and Kandaswami Pillai). The story is about an indigenous doctor, Kanthaswami Pillai. Doctor Pillaivaal also runs a magazine based on health care. He is like a normal businessman. Note this. He is a just a business man and not a business doctor. Puthumaipithan is very careful not to make him a mercenary completely and not too generous as well. His ‘generous’ nature is found when he asks Kad
