Inji Iduppazhagi from Devar Magan

.....அள்ளவரும் கையை ரசித்தேன்
ஆளவரும் கண்ணை ரசித்தேன்
அடங்காமல் தாவும் உந்தன் அன்பை ரசித்தேன்.....
என்னவோ சொல்லத் துணிந்தேன்
ஏதேதோ செய்யத் துணிந்தேன்
உன்னோட சேரத்தானே நானும் அலைந்தேன்.....
நீ செய்யும் யாவும் ரசித்தேன்.....
திருடனே உன்னை அறிந்தேன்
திருடினாய் என்னை அறிந்தேன்
இன்னும் நீ திருடத்தானே ஆசை அறிந்தேன்.....
ஆண் தென்றல் உன்னை அறிந்தேன்
அதில் கூசும் பெண்மை அறிந்தேன்.....
The week went by delightfully. With special utterance for 5th and 7th of March. Thanks to - you know who.....
The rainy season is back, here, in Malaysia. Sungai Petani, my hometown, as well, as Penang Island, both, have been experiencing, heavy downpours, practically every day. It is a blessing, actually. The weather is cool and uplifting.
I slept a little longer this Saturday morning. Felt like doing so. Despite, the rays of the gorgeous sun, seeping through my window panes, aptly trying to wake me up. Weekends are my favourite. It is great to sit back and enjoy the day - without having to drain the brain way too much.....
Went out with my girl friends for dinner last night. It was a blast. We had a big dinner - accompanied with large doses of laughter. Fish Fillet Carbonara, Tom Yum Mee, Claypot Chicken Rice, Rojak, Watermelon Juice, Barley as well as a large cup of Ice Kacang, as dessert. If you are clueless about the food mentioned, do google for images - you should be able to get the picture, of what a humongous dinner we had.....
Signing off for now....
Will write about the beautiful moments some other day - when a great situation song comes in mind - befitting the spell he put me into.....
For now, this is my song for the day.... For my கள்ளச் சிரிப்பழகா..... உள்ளம் மட்டும் உன் வழியே நானே.....மறக்க மனம் கூடுதில்லையே..... Mogn....

Aaththadi Manasuthan from Kazhugu

..... அட இனி என்ன நடக்கும் ?????
மனம் நடந்ததை நடிக்கும் ..... ♥♥♥♥♥ .....
 My 23rd February morning was - flawless. Thanks to his presence - right, beside me, for an entire journey. He is fond of teasing me. He relishes it. The twinkle in his eyes and the significance of his smile - give him away. Every time, he says something fanciful, his eyes undeniably search mine, for a reaction. The moments were magical and magnificent, courtesy of the many read-between-the-lines-conversations. Have been reminiscing it, since the moment we parted.....
I, so, adore him..... 
This song (especially the Tamil lyrics in bold.....) is for the guy who stole my heart BIG time, this early morning..... 
.....Mog♥n..... 
ஆத்தாடி மனசுதான் ரெக்ககட்டி பறக்குது
ஆனாலும் வயசுதான் கிட்ட வர தயங்குது
அக்கம் பக்கம் பாத்து பாத்து
ஆசையாக வீசும் காத்து
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள எதோ பேசுதே
அடடா இந்த மனசுதான் சுத்தி சுத்தி உன்ன தேடுதே
அழகா இந்த கொலுசுதான் தத்தி தத்தி உன் பெயர் சொல்லுதே

ஆத்தாடி மனசுதான் ரெக்ககட்டி பறக்குது
ஆனாலும் வயசுதான் கிட்ட வர தயங்குது

கிட்ட வந்து நீயும் பேசும் போது 
கிட்ட தொட்ட கண்ணு வேர்த்து போகும் 
மூச்சே காய்ச்சலா மாறும் 
விட்டு விட்டு உன்ன பாக்கும் போது 
வெட்டி வெட்டி மின்னல் ஒன்னு மோதும் 
மனசே மார்கழி மாசம்
அருகில் உந்தன் பாசம்
இந்த காதில் வீசுது
விழி தெருவில் பார்க்கும் உனை
உறவை தேடுது
பாவி நெஞ்ச என்ன செஞ்ச
உந்தன் பேர சொல்லி கொஞ்ச
என்ன கொன்னாலும் ஒப்பாது உன் பேர சொல்வேன்டா

ஒன்ன ரெண்டா என்ன நானும் சொல்ல 
ஓராயிரம் ஆச வச்சேன் உள்ள, 
பேச தைரியம் இல்ல
உள்ள ஒரு வார்த்த வந்து துள்ள 
உள்ளம் என்ன முட்டி முட்டி தள்ள 
இருந்தும் வெட்கத்தில் செல்ல
காலம் முழுதும் நாளும்,
உன்ன பார்த்தே வாழனும்
உயிர் போகும் நேரம் உந்தன்
மடியில் சாய்ந்தே ஆகனும்
உன்ன தவிர என்ன வேணும்,
வேற என்ன கேட்க தோணும்
நெஞ்சம் உன்னோட வழாம
மண்ணோடு சாயாதடா

Pattampoochi Kooppidum Podhu from Kavalan

Today - 17th February - is rated - ♥♥ - thanks to that robust but sugary voice that greets me at 10.25am..... with obviously, sweet nothings..... (Oh, Thank You, Almighty.....)
Friday evenings take the edge of weekdays. And the two days, that follow, are plain heavenly - especially when home is sanctuary..... 
Went out with a close gal pal for an early dinner. Just the two of us this time, as the other one was out on a date. We are planning a weekend island getaway. She is organizing. The two of us are chipping in with ideas and all. So far, the plans are going smoothly. Keeping our fingers crossed, as we have been planning this for a few months now.
These particular lines are replaying on my mind..... this moment.....
அலைவரிசையில் நீ சிரிக்க
தொலை தொடர்பினில் நான் இருக்க
உதடும் உதடும் பேசும்பொழுது
உலகை மறந்தேனே
உனதருகினில் நான் இருக்க
உயிர் குளத்தினில் பூ முளைக்க
இரண்டாம் முறையாய் இதயம் துடிக்க
புதியதாய் பிறந்தேனே
Good day, all.....

Swasathil Theeyai from Unnodu Oru Naal

.....தீண்டாமல் தீண்டி போகும் வாடை காற்றே
தூக்கம் தீர்ந்து நாட்கள் ஆச்சு
உன் வாசம் என்னில் பட்டும் வாடி போனேன்
வாசல் தூணாய் நானும் ஆனேன்.....
~For Mogn~

Ya - that's EXACTLY how I am right now. A வாசல் தூண். A pillar who waits in silence and with patience - at the entrance of the home - for the return of its owner.....
I got up at the break of dawn - with thoughts of him. Him, that I so miss. Not as much as what I miss Appa - but lots as in lots, lots - for someone who does not share a biological relationship with me.....
I miss his intense stares. I miss his warm smile. I miss cheeky wink. I miss his artful teasing. I miss his simplicity and coy. I miss his voice and that loud, hearty laughter. I miss him holding my hands. I miss - everything - about him.
It feels better now that I have penned all these down. He is someone who works hard and diligently. There is littlest chance of him reading this. Mushy feelings is not his cup of tea. But fret not (I am telling myself), at least people who stop by to read this will. Right ? That itself is cheer and comfort.....
One day, when he, eventually, stops by my blog, reads this post and sees the picture of these tea lights, he will know - how much he means to me and will continue to. Love, after all, is patient and protects, trusts, hopes and always perseveres. 
I am listening to this beautiful number from a yet to be released movie titled Unnodu Oru Naal. Chinmayi blows my mind. The songs lyrics tingle my spine. Wowwww.... What-A-Song ??? Unequivocally for my present situation. My sentimental soup song.....
Going out for lunch, with Amma and Akka. Everything returns to norm, tomorrow. The long weekend bids goodbye, this evening.....
Take care, God Bless.
Appa - Miss ya like crazy..... Mog♥n - You too.....(and this song is all for you).....
See ya around !!!!!
With lots of ♥,
~Shalu~

Veliooru Kiliye from Kollaikaran

Ni hao !!!! That's hello in Mandarin. Befitting the Chinese Lunar New Year that falls tomorrow.
The weekend in about to end, but I am not sweating. It is a long weekend, for us, Malaysians. National holiday is until Wednesday, the 24th of January 2012. So, I have two more days. Cool, right ???
Spent the first two days of the weekend, just unwinding and taking a big breather, at my favourite sanctuary - home. 
I would love to revamp and spruce up my blog. High time, I guess. Did try the new Timeline by Blogger, but that would mean, I have to let go of a few stuff that I so want to have. So, I am still in the midst of it. Planning and blueprinting. 
I need to thank Philo Farnsworth for making the world's first working television system with electronic scanning of both the pickup and display devices. I watched (the reason why I need to thank Farnsworth) and heard this song on Sun Music, last night, on a show called, "Paatu Puthusu". A few lines grabbed my attention..... and the rest, they say is history.....
A peppy number, that tugged my heart with its "semma" lyrics..... It is on replay on my IPod at present time..... Hooked, crazily is the word..... Give it a try..... You might, too.....
Till I sign in again - Gong Xi Fa Cai..... Lets welcome the Water Dragon!!!!!

Mannipaaya from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya

Ya. It is me. Me. Me. And, all me. On a - weekday!!!! Unheralded.
The days have been dreadfully hectic. I am zealously looking forward to Friday evening. For two main reasons. First - for a date with my closest girlfriends. We last met up before New Year. It is nearing the end of January, so a get together would be perfect. Second - for an awesomely, long weekend - thanks to the Chinese New Year celebrations. Life shall return to norm on Wednesday, the 25th of January. Till then, yours truly will enjoy her days unwinding and doing as she pleases......
Good night. God Bless!!!!!
Shalu - signing off, for now.....
This song did not ring a bell to me, then. Then - when - everyone was raving about it. It is NOW, though. Of circumstance and coincidence. Of destiny and detail. Of scene and status. Of thing and time.....
For him, and him only.....

Asku Laska from Nanban

"தை பிறந்தால் வழி பிறக்கும்"
“The Lord Who is true to His devotees” Near Cuddalore, South Arcot District, Tamil Nadu
Happy Ponggal, everyone !!!!! The day started real early for me. Our sweet ponggal, a rice dish  boiled with milk and jaggery, boiled and overflowed around 8.52am, with its first spill, facing the east - the most influential cardinal point. Auspicious, I believe. And, a sign of optimism. It is, after all, where, the sun rises, doesn't it ? The rising of a sun is usually equaled to a new beginning. Ponggal, is too. The birth of the Tamil month of Thai. The month, that we Hindus believe would bring us a lot of good opportunities and great fortune. 
I read his SMS around 11.28am - after prayers and breakfast. It was received around 9.56am. I reply, immediately. ஆருவம்... they would say, in Tamil. Meaning, enthusiasm. 
"It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living," quotes Oliver Wendell Holmes. So agree..... 
I thank God for everything. This blessed life.....
Again - Happy Ponggal, all !!!!!

Po Nee Po (Remix) from 3 (Moonu)

Good morning folks !! Today is Bogi or Bhogi  - the day before Pongal. Celebrated in honor of Lord Indra, "the God of Clouds and Rains", worshiped for the abundance of harvest, thereby bringing plenty and prosperity to the land. On Bhogi all people clean out their homes from top to bottom, and collect all unwanted goods. This day is meant for domestic activities and of being together with the family members.... and that is EXACTLY what I want to do!!!!!
I got my heart broken during the week. Still, in somewhat disintegrated shape. It crumbles every time, I muse over that precise moment..... 10th January 2012.
I know he never meant to hurt me, and vice versa. We have both apologized since that unpleasant occasion. Right now - silence and still - is what remains, between us.....
This is the song that blasts in my room - at this very moment - on replay and maximum volume. It has been for the past few days. My Tamil heavy metal tranquilizer. The one that drives my current pain away. The one that appeases my present cluttered stated of mind......
To him - Sorry, from the depth of my heart.
I am walking away.....

போ நீ போ
போ நீ போ
தனியாக தவிக்கின்றேன்
துணை வேண்டாம் அன்பே போ
பிணமாக நடக்கின்றேன்
உயிர் வேண்டாம் தூரம் போ
நீ தொட்ட இடமெல்லாம் எரிகிறது அன்பே போ
நான் போகும் நிமிடங்கள் உனக்காகும் அன்பே போ

இது வேண்டாம் அன்பே போ
நிஜம் தேடும் பெண்ணே போ
உயிரோடு விளையாட விதி செய்தாய் அன்பே போ

உன்னாலே உயிர் வாழ்கிறேன்
உனக்காக பெண்ணே
உயிர் காதல் நீ காட்டினால்
வாழ்வேனே பெண்ணே
இதுவரை உன்னுடன் வாழ்ந்த என் நாட்கள் .....
மறுமுறை வாழ்ந்திட வழி இல்லையா .....
இருள் உள்ளே தேடிய தேடல்கள் எல்லாம் .....
விடியலை காணவும் விதி இல்லையா .....


போ நீ போ
போ நீ போ

என் காதல் புரியலையா
உன் இஷ்டம் அன்பே போ
என் கனவு கலைந்தாலும்
நீ இருந்தாய் அன்பே போ
நீ தொட்ட இடமெல்லாம் எரிகிறது அன்பே போ
நான் போகும் நிமிடங்கள் உனக்காகும் அன்பே போ

இது வேண்டாம் அன்பே போ .....
நிஜம் தேடும் அன்பே போ .....
உயிரோடு விளையாட விதி செய்தாய் அன்பே போ .....


தனியாக தவிக்கின்றேன்
துணை வேண்டாம் அன்பே போ
பிணமாக நடக்கின்றேன்
உயிர் வேண்டாம் தூரம் போ

Yeah... I am walking away.....

Ninaithu Ninaithu Paarthal from 7G Rainbow Colony

Note : This has been scheduled to be posted on Monday morning......

Me coming online on weekdays - is out of question. Days are too hectic. Chores come like avalanche. Writing is something that I love and hold close to heart. Alike reading, gardening, sewing and cooking - which also need time investment. 
I have been in missing mode - since the birth of the new year. Miss, as in pine and yearn. 
My Appa, being the one I miss most. I so, wish he was around. Life would have been far simpler and totally unmarred.....
I also, miss the one, who reminds me so much of Appa. His diligence and hardwork, startle me. I do get to listen to his voice, every now and then, but that's about it. I wish we could spend some time together. I really, do.....
Chennai City. I so, so miss. The place where my soul resides. Hanging out by Elliot Beach, on a full moon day, after an evening visit to the Asthalakshmi Temple. Drinking freshly squeezed Pomegranate juice with ice, near Deenadayalan Street. A drive along ECR during sunrise. Shopping for sarees and churidhars at Panagal Park. Watching a good movie at Satyam's. Lunch at Anjappar's..... The list goes on.....
My trips to the beach - here, in Penang. It has been months since I walked along one - despite wanting very much to. Weird. Here I am, living my days on an island, which as we all know, is surrounded by water, and yet, not finding time to go to the nearest oceanfront. 
And, so many other things.....
நினைது நினைது பார்தாய் 
நேருங்கி அருகில் வருவேன் 
ஊன்னால் தானாஎ நானே வாழ்கிறேன் 
உன்னில் இன்று என்னை பார்க்கிறேன் 
பேசி போன வார்தைகள் எல்லாம் 
உனது பேசில் கலந்தெ  இருக்கும் 
உலகம் அழியும் உருவம் அழியுமா?????
பார்து போன பார்வைகள் எல்லாம் 
பகலும் இரவும் உன்னுடன் இருக்கும் 
உன்னது விழிகல் என்னை மரக்கும ?????

A Must Watch & Poovaikkaelu from Azhagarsamiyin Kudhirai

Call me sentimental. Call me emotional. Or gushy, dreamy, moonstruck, nostalgic or, even jejune. I do not mind. 
I love this scene. I had tears rolling down my cheeks, watching it. 
It struck me - precisely. A love scene - so unlike any other. I searched high and low for this on YouTube, right after the movie, but without avail. And, by happy chance, I stumbled on it today. 
Do give it a shot. For the fascinatingly, unusual love confession.....

Chosen song for today due to these particular lines..... 
நீ போகும் வழியில், நிழல் நானாகி விழவா
தூங்காத விழியில், துணை சேர்ந்தாயே மெதுவா
ஒன்னும் புரியாம, தாளம் தட்டுரேனே
சொல்லதெரியாம, வாய கட்டுரேனே
ஆக மொத்தம் காதல் இது சரி தானே ?????


Have a great week ahead..... Mine is expected to be super busy, just like the last..... Take care. God Bless.

Yennayidhu from Mounaguru

Happy Belated New Year everyone !! My wishes are a little late, I know, but, isn't it better to be late than never ?? Hope the year started with a big bang for each and everyone of you, and will continue to prosper until the next one arrives.
The week was hectic. The thought of writing a short post did emerge every now and then. Unfortunately, thoughts remained thoughts. Pragmatism failed. 
It has been a beautiful Saturday over here. The moderately sunny and extremely windy kind-of-one. It is 35 past 5 in the evening now. Amma's freshly brewed milk tea is minutes away. If Popeye's was spinach, this is mine. Homemade boost. 
Watched this movie during my New Year weekend. A good one, that is definitely on my 2011 recommendation list.
Cheers !!! See ya around, REAL SOON :-P

Sondham Eppodhum Thodarkathaithaan from Praptham

"சொந்தம் எப்போதும் தொடர்கதைதான் முடிவே இல்லாதது
எங்கே சென்றாலும் தேடி இணைக்கும் இனிய கதை இது
என்னை உன்னோடு சேர்த்த தெய்வம் எழுதும் புதுக்கதை இது....." 
And, alas - here, we are, on the final day of the year..... 
It has indeed been one great year. And, I pray the ones ahead would be better - not just for me, but each and everyone of you.....
This post is specially dedicated, with heartfelt thanks to the ones closest to my heart.
The Almighty God - I am so grateful for everything You have bestowed upon me......
My Father - The one who is no more but remains in my heart and thoughts, at all times. My hero. 
My everything. 
My Mother - For patiently putting up with my antiques. And, continuing to treat me like a little girl, which I no more, am. 
My Sister - My comrade. My ally. My second mother. I wish you good health and great happiness. 
Mogan - for being a part of my life and making them sweeter than ever.
My friends, near and dear - for doubling my joy and sharing the pain. 
To every reader of my blog, who has stopped by, intentionally or otherwise, thanks and God Bless !!!
Happy New Year everyone !!! 
Have a fabulous 2012 !!!!

Kaathalukku Paatatharukku from Sirayil Sila Raagangal

He makes me smile - without saying much. He makes my heart flutter - despite being far. It is such a majestic feeling.....
Went for a movie with family this late evening. Mission Impossible 4 - The Ghost Protocol. Fairly entertaining, just like the rest of the MI's. From Budapest to Moscow to Dubai to Mumbai and finally, Seattle - a lot of action and heart stopping moments. I enjoyed it, very much.
Planning to go out for breakfast.....
Heading to bed, now (with a silly smile - thanks to him).....
A duet ? Tonight ? He asks. How? He, there. Me, here. In our dreams, I guess..... It will be sweet, nevertheless. Sweet. Semma sweet - just like him.....
This song comes to mind. 

காதலுக்கு பாட்டு எதிர்கு, பாட்டு எதிர்கு ?????
காலம் நேரம் வீணாகும், நம்ம காதலுக்கும் வயதாகும்!!!!!

Oh Unnale Naan from Ennaruginil Nee Irundhaal


Alas - Thursday is here. Next, comes my favourite day of the week. Friday flies me high. I guess I have kept my word. A post, a day. Not bad. Efforts do pay off, don't they ? 
This excellent song comes from Maestro Illayaraja. He is brilliant and full of flair. His songs have the ability to serenade any mood. 
The days are busy, no doubt. But his thoughts, constantly fiddle and fidget, my heart and soul. Sweet - he is to me. My Los Angeles Fosselman's perfect milk shake. 
My Antibes, France, Restaurant de Bacon's authentic strawberry tart. My Mexico City, El Pastorcito's crunchy tacos. My Delhi, Sagar Ratna's wholesome Indian vegetarian cuisine. My Noto, Sicily, Corrado Costanzo's mouth watering ice cream. My Pierre Herme, Paris' excellent chocolate cake. 
I bet you are wondering if I have ACTUALLY eaten any of the stuff mentioned above. No, I haven't. Illustrations - purely and solely. They are among, "The 50 best things to eat in the world, and where to eat them" from theguardian.com.
Life is pictorialization, isn't it ??????
Take care & God bless !!!

ஒ உன்னாலே நான் பெண் ஆனேனே 
உன் கண்ணாலே நான் பொன் ஆனேனே 
தேடாத நேரமில்லையே 
தீராத காதல் தொல்லையே 
ஒ உன்னாலே நான் பெண் ஆனேனே 
உன் கண்ணாலே நான் பொன் ஆனேனே 

மாலை நேர பூக்களே ஆவல் மீறி பார்க்குதே

இரவெல்லாம் உண் உறவோடு எண்ணாத சொர்கலோகம்

காதல் தேவன் பேசினால் காலம் ஊமை ஆகுமே 
இதழ்மேலே என் இதழ் சேர பெண் உதவி செய்ய வேண்டும்

Vaanam Ulla Kaalam Mattum from Puthiya Swarangal

10 things about Scorpios - Yes! I am a proud one!

  • Scorpios are very observant. They can see through things very easily, which means if you are being dishonest with a Scorpio, they intuitively sense your deceit and wouldn't think you worthy of their trust, which means no friendship. 
  • Scorpios like to hear about other people rather than tell you about themselves. Tell a Scorpio something about yourself and they will most likely remember it. But try not to tell them everything all at once, because then the Scorpio won't have anything to be intrigued about you because they like to slowly gather information and once they have it all, its less interesting. 
  • Scorpios are all about mystery and finding things out. They are the most curious people you will find, whether they show it or not. There has to be something that they are interested in, like music, places they want to visit. Try to find out what they like the most, and do research on it. Make sure not to ask them questions that are too personal, but when you find out what they like, talk about it. Don't seem like a know-it-all. 
  • Scorpios that are the most quiet, are the ones who see it all. They've seen you when you didn't notice, and they detect if you are good enough for them, just by seeing. 
  • Scorpios value anyone who isn't afraid of being themselves. And tell them your interests and be honest when they ask you questions -they most likely won't be anything personal. 
  • When a Scorpio gives you the piercing stare, you know you have gotten their attention. 
  • Most Scorpios like the colors black and red. They're dark and mysterious, just like them. 
  • When you have things in common with a Scorpio, they will remember you more, so try to talk about things that you have in common. 
  • Scorpios are really good friends. Be loyal, treat them with respect, selflessness, intriguing, and they will appreciate you. 
  • What does the Scorpio really want deep inside? They want to love and trust somebody. They hate dishonest people and "fake" people. Compliment them, but never overdo it. Make them feel wanted, even if they are quiet. Show them that you care about them. Be selfless and they will repay it by treating you the same way. If you want to win their heart, you have to be honest at all times. Don't play with their emotions. Scorpios are the most loyal people you will ever meet if they feel you are worthy of their loyalty and love.

Sokkanuku Vacha Sundariyo from Kaaval Geetham

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Today is not star rated - but "heart" rated. Thanks to him, I get to celebrate my Valentine's Day in mid December. 
I love this song. For so many reasons. It gives me the feeling of walking on air. It weaves through my ears and strikes my heart. Towering lyrics. Overwhelming music. Stunning rendition. It reminds me of him. Only him.
This stirring number has been playing on replay mode, since late evening. The waning moon, visible from my bed and the Tamil month of Kaarthigai's sweet breeze, enchants my already sentimental emotions. Also, heavily present in my brain, are love chemicals - dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin and vasopressi. And, thus, I am requoting Barca - "When love is not madness, it is not love...."
பேசும் வார்த்தை நிஜம் ஆகிடுமோ ?????
நேசம் பாசம் நிறம் மாரிடுமோ?????

Manthiram Sonnen Vanthuvidu from Vedham Puthithu

"மந்திரம் சொன்னேன் வந்துவிடு
சம்மதம் எங்கே தந்துவிடு
புதிய பாடம் சொல்வேனே - அதன்
பொருளைச் சொல்வாய் செந்தேனே
பாதம் பார்த்து வேதம் சொல்ல
ஆற்றங்கரைக்கு வந்தேனே....."
Monday. The song I have been steadily humming - since the break of day. A smooth, sweet sounding piece by Mano and S. Janaki-Ma. 
Music - of pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, meter, articulation, dynamics, timbre and texture - is a great form of relaxation. Any form or language. For me, Tamil ones, rule.
Looking forward to a fascinating first day of the week.
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it. 
 ~Jacques Prévert~
Stay happy. Okay ??

Paathagathi Kannupattu Panchu Panchaa from Kazhugu (2011)

For starters - I didn't know this movie existed. Discovered the song on Behindwood's Top Ten songs - at present time. This is all Yuvan - music and singing, with lyrics by Snegan. A slow moving but affirming number. A beautiful, rustic piece that grows on you - if you are willing to give it an audience.
My first post for December. The last month of the year. So fast. Seems like I just celebrated 2011's New Year. Now, 2012 is less than 30 days away. 
New Year aspires resolutions. Me ? Yet to line - any. The only thing on my mind is - India. Yeah - India, the country where my soul resides. Keeping my fingers crossed for a vacation in late January or early February. India, is the remedy, to my qualms.
A somewhat Saturday. An early wake-up to water the potted plants. Gardening is new interest of mine. A relaxing art. A lunch date with mum and sister, and shopping, there after. 
Churidhars suits charm me. And, punjabi suits, please me. Cotton ones - specifically. I have been getting lots of them. Today, bought a dark brown piece. Last week, got two. One purple. One green. Both cotton. They drain my budget - but make me happy. The latter is so much more important......
Not too late to wish you all a Happy Saturday !!! Do enjoy the weekend .....

Ya Ya Ya Yaathava from Devaraagam (Tamil)

First day of November. One more month to go - before the year ends. I want to start with something happy. Something joyful and peppy - but, at the same time, dreamy and poetic. What comes to mind is the awesome number from a touching movie titled Devaraagam that was released in 1996. It is actually a Malayalam movie, dubbed into Tamil. I have watched the latter. A good storyline with equally mind blowing acting by Arvindswamy and the gorgeous Sri Devi. 
I have a soft spot for this particular song. It gives a kind of serenity to the languishing heart. 
Heading to bed within the next few minutes. This song, on replay mode, will serenade me to sleep, tonight. 
Nitez, all.

Iragai Poley Alaikireney from Naan Mahan Alla

I am not to keen on riding the two wheeler - better known as the motorcycle. Neither, do I like sitting at the back - being pillion. I have this phobia - Motorcylophobia. Thanks to an uncalled for minor accident while I was still in school. Motorcycle rides make me extra nervous and over cautious.
There are very few people who I believe would carry me well, on one. Except, for my late father, my elder brother. And, Mogan. Only three of them. The only three who make me feel safe - on a two wheeler. I have never ridden with anyone else and do not think I ever will.
This particular song reminds me of how breezy, momentous and romantic, a motorcycle ride can actually be. When it is with someone, who you know deep in your heart, will take good care of you, no matter what. 
Forty minutes from Deepavali 2011.
May each and everyone of us be blessed, by the Almigty.....
Happy Deepavali folks !!!!!

This one is for Mogan.....
இந்த பாடல் வரிகள் - மோகனுக்கு ..... 

இறகை போலே, அலைகிறேனே
உந்தன் பேச்சை கேட்கையிலே
குழந்தை போலே, தவழ்கிறேனே
உந்தன் பார்வை தீண்டயிலே
தொலையாமல் தொலைந்தேனே
உன் கைகள் என்னை தொட்டதும்
கரையாமல் கரைந்தேனே
உன் மூச்சு கற்று பட்டதும்
அநியாய காதல் வந்ததே, அட காதல் ஆசை தந்ததே
எனக்குள்ளே எதோ மின்னல் போலே தொட்டு சென்றதே

கண்ணோரம் காதல் வந்தால் கண்ணீரும் தித்திப்பாகும்
வேறுஒன்றும் தேவையில்லை நீ மட்டும் போதும் போதும்
என்னோடு நீயும் வந்தால், எல்லாமே கையில் சேரும்
வேறுஒன்றும் தேவையில்லை, நீ மட்டும் போதும் போதும்

கூட வந்து நீ நிர்த்பதும், கூடுவிட்டு நான் செல்வதும்
தொடருதே, தொடருதே நாடகம்
பாதி மட்டுமே சொல்லவதும், மீதி நெஞ்சிலே என்பதும்
புரியுதே, புரியுதே காரணம்
நேரங்கள் தீருதே, வேகங்கள் கூடுதே
பூவே உன் கண்ணுக்குள்ளே பூமி பந்து சுத்துதே

ஏய் என்னானதோ, எதனதோ இல்லாமல் போச்சே தூக்கமும்
கண்ணே உன்னை காணமல் நான் இல்லை
என்மீதிலே உன் வாசனை எப்போதும் வீச பார்கிறேன்
அன்பே உன்னை சேராமல் வாழ்வில்லை
நீ என்னை காண்பதே, வானவில் போன்றதே
துரத்தில் உன்னை கண்டால் தூறல் நெஞ்சில் சிந்துதே

கண்ணோரம் காதல் வந்தால் கண்ணீரும் தித்திப்பாகும்
வேறுஒன்றும் தேவையில்லை நீ மட்டும் போதும் போதும்
என்னோடு நீயும் வந்தால், எல்லாமே கையில் சேரும்
வேறுஒன்றும் தேவையில்லை, நீ மட்டும் போதும் போதும்
