ஆனந்தக்கண்ணீராயினும்
அதை என் முன் வடிக்காதே.
உன் கன்னங்கள் ஈரமாக
என் முத்தத்தைத் தவிர
வேறு காரணங்களை
என் மனம் ஏற்பதில்லை.

Happy Birthday Aravind
காதுக்கு இனிமையா
பாடிவியே பாட்டு,
எப்பவுமே சிரிக்க வைப்பே
கவுண்டர் ஒன்னு போட்டு.
உனக்கு சிரிப்புன்னா ஞாபகத்திற்கு
வந்திருவா கீர்த்தி,
உன் சிரிப்பையே ஸ்டிக்கராக்கி
சிரிக்கறது நேர்த்தி.
இன்னைக்கி உனக்கு மிகச் சிறந்த பிறந்தநாளு,
சீக்கிரமா குடும்பத்தோட சேர்ந்தது நீயும் வாழு.
Happy Birthday Aravind (School Buddy)

Prisoners of War
We all,
are Prisoners of War.
Our hearts can no more
take any scar.
Pulled into battles and
pulled into wars.
Little do we know
what we are fighting for.
Running through a maze,
surrounded by a blaze.
we live in a delusion.
For us, World's an illusion.
False step ahead and
you fall and die.
Stick to your position,
you suffer and cry.
There's a sigh, after
every day's survival.
Human values here, have
importance that’s trivial. (We all..)
Bars around you
to keep you tight.
Food for thought
is out of sight.
Routine is your lifestyle
as a trained sniff dog.
Work, eat and sleep and
nothing more to clog.
We look into skies
for a shower of rain,
to wipe out our cries
and forget our pain.
When will we escape
and where is our destiny.
Our hopes and dreams
are killed in the mutiny. (We all..)
Thou shall not give up
And thou shall not die.
Come whatever may
We will conquer one day.
We regenerate hope
with every living breath,
fight till the death
will remain our oath.

Mon Ami Surjith...
To again prove the fact that me and surjith do more of arguments and conversation rather than productive work, find below one of the replies from him for a PPT i had sent.
The PPT came to me as a forward and was about how India is tolerant to the Minority religions while minorities in other nations deprive of these privileges. It mainly concentrated on how Hindus are tolerent to such kind of treatment in their own land and how they stay mumb as silent observers even though they are majorities here in India.
I had just asked Surjith about his views on the PPT and here goes the reply in his own words....
All Hindus are not intolerant just as all Muslims are not terrorists.
If one has to talk about khilafat movement and why Gandhi supported it, one has to be aware of the historic situations which were prevailing at that time. But for starters, Khilafat started as an opposition against British occupation of Turkey. It soon spread to a large scale in India because of the political situation at that time(Remember that a few million Indians be it Hindus or Muslims or the nonreligious were seriously thinking that enough is enough and the British should leave Indians alone). Congress decided to support Khilafat on the basis that it will complement the Swaraj movement. So get the facts right(that is to who ever made this ppt).
As for arguments such as In Muslim countries it is like this, why are we doing like this, I don’t think that any straight thinking person would even bother to reply. Why, the cannibals eat other humans, we should eat them, of course!
Every society has its vices. In some societies the vices overshadow the virtues. The question is what you would choose to be. As some wise guy has once said, if everyone went for “an eye for an eye” then the whole world will be blind; which leads me to another point. Is the fact that Hindus were persecuted in Kashmir solved by killing Muslims in Gujarat? How did you feel when Indians were killed by fanatics in US because they mistook Sikhs for Arabs? There was Sikh terrorism in India. It was also brutal. But did the killing of innocent Sikhs in US make anyone happy for it? Or take Maharashtra where they say all outsiders should go away. They started beating and killing people from UP and Bihar(last time it was South Indians). They too ask the similar questions. People from outside come to Maharashtra and make a living in their cities. How can a non Maharashtrian become a big shot in Maharashtra.
One thing people forget is that a Hindu is a hindu just because he was born in a family practicing that religion. Same goes to any other religion. People flaunt Nehru’s name as if he is just another cheap politician. People flaunt Indian Constitution as if it is just a piece of paper. What they forget is that India’s first Prime Minister did not become that because he slept with someone or because of his political cunningness(though the second was definitely a factor). He and many of the great leaders had a vision about a Unified India which they thought they could bring to reality. India’s leading brains poured into the making of our constitution. Things might have gone wrong somewhere along the line that too because of people divided by culture and religion and regionalism and there were people who made use of these vulnerabilities for their own gains.
[I went for a coffee break, so lost the flow hence concluding]
If India had followed the form of secularism in many European countries, then religion would have stayed as a closet issue. In many countries people are not allowed public show of their faith, wearing religious symbols in public etc. However Indian secularism is aimed at preserving the varied culture that existed in the sub-continent which was unified as one nation. This is so, because in India culture is so closely knit with religion that they are almost inseparable. Politicians over time has misused or rather abused this framework to satisfy their vote banks and now our nation is in a pitiable state. But as V says in the movie, if we are looking for the guilty, we need only look in the mirror. (Worth mentioning fact here is that Surjith reads a lot of books of all genres and is a great world movie fan.)
i didnt reply anything to this mail as unsually i kept myself occupied with some technical work but had an idea that i will post this in here to record Surjith's valuable views.
Mon Ami Surjith, indeed there is a long way to go in understanding and implementing the real secularism and as far as looking into the mirror is concerned, i restrain hereafter from looking myself in mirrors...

காதல் போர்
எல்லை தாண்டிய
தீவிரவாதியாய்,
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்
நுழைந்தவனே!
உன் காதலெனும்
கண்ணி வெடியில் சிக்கி,
கணப்பொழுதில் நான்
சொர்க்கம் சென்றேன்.
உன் பார்வை ஸ்பரிசங்கள்
பட்ட இடமெல்லாம்,
என்னுள் ஏனோ
மோகத்தீயாய் பற்றி எரிகின்றது.
உன் சிரிப்பு ஏவுகணைகள்
என் மனதில் இறங்கி,
இன்பம் தரும் ஒரு
வலியை ஏற்படுத்துகின்றன.
என் கனவுப் பாசறையில்
நிதமும் நுழைந்து,
இரவு வேளைகளில்
வேவு பார்கிறாய்.
என் இயற்கை சீற்றங்களின் போது
அமைதியாய் அருகிலமர்ந்து,
தலை கோதி புன்முறுவல்
பொருளுதவி செய்கிறாய்.
பேச்சுவார்த்தைகளும்
பிரகடனங்களும், நம்முள்
காதலை வளர்க்க
நாளும் நடக்கட்டும்.
நாம், காதல் போர் நிறுத்த
ஒப்பந்தங்களை துறந்து,
திருமண தீவிரவாதத்தை
தொடர்ந்து கடைபிடிப்போம்.
