Prohibition to Laughing

If there is something unique that belongs to the human race is laughter. Though animals do laugher sometimes like the simian, it's the sense of humor that enriches our human lifestyle. Insisting we love and care and bring happiness to others and relieving stress like us. Life isn't and shouldn't be serious always; to keep it away, laughing is a great gift the human could have. 

(My happily laughing nephew Jeswanth)

They say there is no better medicine than laughter and that laughter is scientifically proven to help release certain hormones and help reduce stress, the leading cause of heart disease. And prohibiting such great cause laughter is an inhuman act and the prevention of natural ways of treatment.  

I think you have now guessed what I am talking about, yes North Korea's ban on its citizens from laughing, drinking, and shopping for 11 days! Drinking and shopping can be secondary, but laughing is a basic sense of being human, and banning it can not be brought within any definition. Simply a foolish act of inhuman. 

There is no wonder the announcement coming from a country ruled by a dictator, although I feel sorry for the plight of the people of that country and would like to condemn this act. What is worse was they also banned crying loud (and moving out the body) if anyone dear to us dies during the 11 days - the mourning period of former Korean leader and father of President Kim Jong Un's 10th death anniversary. 

Laughing is a natural tendency towards anything that moves us in a light-hearted way and an emotion that infects anyone (in good nature) who comes across. Banning laughing is a force you could not implement at all; since crying and laughing have been the only acts child could do, and prohibiting it is quite an offense against natural law and the pinnacle of oppression. I wish the lifestyle of North Koreans changed and they experience freedom from the stubborn kid Kim! lol 

Because...

I’m silent because 

Not that I don’t know to speak 

I’m silent because 

I only don’t want to talk.

I’m quiet because 

Not that I don’t have a voice 

I’m quiet because 

It's a waste to argue with prejudice.

I'm silent because 

Not that I'm motionless 

I'm silent because 

Emotionally stuck inside.

I'm serene because 

Not that I live in peace 

I'm serene because 

My nature is to be the same.

I'm silent because 

Not that I know nothing 

I'm silent because 

I seek life from the ground.

Can Poverty Be Eradicated?

I pondered over the thought of eliminating poverty the other night of sleeplessness and how politicians swear to abolish poverty from society on every platform they get to shout. I turned to sleep, but the thought haunted me to be wakeful, and I think, not so deep or the element didn't allow me to break as if it made of a coco de mer shell, there isn't a gingelly gap to infiltrate the poverty out of the society.

We can't say when and where it all began, and it's inevitable, and we have to live with poverty as an infinite part of the world. Like in a seesaw, if one goes up, the other comes down automatically, and if one becomes affluent and the one less possessed comes down the line of equality. Though we can't consider it as poverty, this could be stepping down the process to push one to the poverty line. The reason for poverty could be plenty, and I'm not complaining or protesting that none should become affluent, but all wealth stored under particular leaderships denies the right of people in need.

I think poverty cannot eradicate as long as there are more and more ups and downs in society. In the way, rich become richer, poverty advances to a stage of the same. So, the thing that needs to change is to create more opportunities for the poor to lift themselves the way they needed. And either poverty is removed or not, we need to make sure that no one dies of starvation.

Excess of anything is unhealthy

We could not put a boundary for human’s desire but understanding life brings control towards self and teaches others. Sometime the desire overtakes to meet trouble where we lost control of thinking and go ahead preventing things that preserve life and being sensible. Not only desire, any number that outfall into account is excess and sometime overly attached relationships (either friendship or kinship) makes trouble when one could not spent fair amount with other or excessively cared to disregard another. Everyone has right to choose their relationship or give prior but always being immersed disconnects from other worlds.

I feel the young people these days take things excessively whatever it is. Perhaps they anticipate instant results and taking extensive amount make them feel quickly reach the target. Avoiding everything in name of diet only ends in lack of nutrition. I believe the best diet could be to eat as per you work or work as per you eat and taking excessive protein is also unhealthy. Balance is something everyone needs in the world, which itself spins on certain angle for the balance. If we are concern, everything is important for us and balancing things give peace to all. I think this is a formula that could not apply easily, but practicing makes it possible. Doesn’t it? 

Grandpa at Home

After 10 days of hospitalized mygrandpa (maternal) returned to our home rather going to his. He was going through age related problems and also a patient of Parkinson found very difficult in walking and standing lately and with sore knee and foot on day other he was forced to move to the hospital when his condition becomes worse. He was staying (along with grandma and uncle’s family) in the 1^st floor of their home and shifting to the hospital was very difficult and only with the help of ambulance we were able to do the transfer when he refused to stand.

Grandma and grandpa going through newspapers during a vacation in Valparai

He had a higher blood sugar (levelled nearly 450) when tested at the hospital which seems to be the main cause of unhealed wound and increased knee pain that put him immobile. Once at hospital with medication and a small surgery on the sore heel makes his condition much better and he also shows good improvement on his mobility by doing physiotherapy. Although he regains certain actions and good at pace, he couldn’t obtain the ability to climb steps which prevented him from going back to his home in 1^st floor.

It’s been a long time dream for me staying with my grandparents; we are so glad about their move since we are staying at a ground floor house, accommodating my grandfather is quite easy. But the only thing that bothers us was his health condition; although we feel happy for sharing/staying with them I wished he was good enough to celebrate the moments we were longing for. My grandparents usually refuse to stay with us – perhaps because not to give we trouble anyways – except the moment while travelling or going on vacations.

Our grandparents have done a lot for us and for the comfort of living their sacrifices were immense. I think it’s our right/duty to take care of them when they can’t do things on their own. I know it is a temporary stay for them until their new home (which is under construction right now next to their current house) in ground floor is ready in 2-3 months. But I cherish the moment being with them and sharing things together. After we lost our great grandmother (paternal) 7 years back, they are the only elderly people in our family (who love us unconditionally) whom we really need to protect. 

மன வலி / Mental Pain

"செல்லாக்காசை பிச்சை  போட்டு என்ன பயன்?"

ஒரு வரி 

என்  ஆயிரம் கேள்விகளின்  பிரதிபளி 

வெளியே சொல்ல முடியாத வலி.

தெளிந்த நீரோடை
ஓர் கல் விழுந்து கலங்கியது போல் 

என் கனவுகள் 

ஒரு சொல்லில் கலைந்தது.

கண்கள்
கண்ணீர் சிந்தி சிவந்தது
காவிரியை போல் 

தண்ணிர் இன்றி வரண்டது.

மழை, வெயில்
மகிழ்ச்சியோடு தொடர்புடையது  

அதிகபடியான எதுவும் வேதனையே
வலி, மனவலிமை பொருத்தது. 

Non-Tamil readers, check the translation below… but I inquire myself does it convey quite.

“What benefits a beggar
by dropping invalid cash? “
A phase
reflects thousand questions
of my unspoken pain.

Like how a clear stream
shaken to a fall of stone
my dreams
shattered by a single word.

The Eyes
turned red to spill of tears
without water
it drought like Cauvery (river).

Rain or sunshine
associated with pleasure;
excess of anything is pain
plainly depends on mental vigor. 

காதல் கடிதம் / Love Letter

translate of the letter in English :

After seeing you I have changed
or had you changed me?

Just been a wanderlust myself
you turned me as a tiger;
like how tiger pursues deer
you made me come around you.

Whether you love me or not
I come,
binding the eyes and closing the ears
in hope
that one day you will look at me
and accept my love.

                                        

                                     With affection

Vibes of Life

Life is based on constant heartbeat

where unruly might end at accident.

Life is so precious and quite large
to retreat once ashes dissolved.

Life is so different in many ways
but we all are similar at somewhere.

Life has various vibrations
but the heart beats are same.

A photo captures a moment
to ever last uncertainly.

Life at random

Life is balanced between heat and cold

too much of anything isn’t gold.

Life begins at normal temperature
lack sunshine, and interest only grows on shadow.

Life is only comfort at a/c for some
while many leads through burning struggle.

Life isn’t intended to glow and gleam alone
a humble gloom could please contrary noon.

Our day does not wakeup without light
but for blinds darkness is a light leads eternal.

Inner conflict

My heart kept swelling
to emotionally breakup anytime;
my heart gets scratched
repeatedly to eternal pain.

My eyes left wet
with no warmth to wipe out;
my throat get choked
with no light moment to pass.

My mind left puzzled
with no problem gets solved;
my consciousness gets collapse
in battle with constant grief.

A small date

From the day meeting you at heart

I still hold to the conversation
every night at the dreams.

The smile that struggle to untie
the emotion that bewitch
reading the love status on the lips.

Eyes conveyed the message silently
while the lips relish on the coffee
that long lost its savor.

Under the wild date palm tree
the heart shares the unfold files
converting the cool breeze into ocean current.

விலகிடு உயிரை / Depart my life

Image: Google

உயிரே என்  உயிரே

என்னுள் நீ எங்கே?

தேடினேன்  காணவில்லை;

ஆனாலும் விலகிடு

இரவு  விடியும்  முன்.

போதும் இந்த துயரம்;

படுத்தும் உறங்கவில்லை

புரண்டும் படுக்கவில்லை

உயிரே  விலகிடு

வலிகள் ஏதுமின்றி

என் நிழலே

என்னை சோதிக்கிறது;

குழம்பினேன் இரவில்

நிழலா இருளா என

விலகிடு உயிரை இருளில்.

பகலில்  புன்னகை

இரவினில் வெறுமனே

வியந்து நின்றது நெஞ்சம்;

விலகிடு உயிரை

நிலவில்லா நேரம் பார்த்து.

Translation in English follows:

My beloved life
where’re you in me
I searched like missing;
however depart me
the night before the dawn.

Enough the grief;
I slept without slumber
I laid without turnover
depart my life
without any pain.

My shadow
checking me;
I puzzled at night
over darken and shadow
depart my life, in darkness.

The smile of the day
just bare at night
the heart stumbled to stay;
depart my life
while there’s no moon.

Life is nothing… but

Image: Google

Life is nothing

but a phase on planet;
sometime it pain
like wound by sun
and stain
like the mess-up after rain.

Life is nothing  
but sustain upon strain;
whether it rain or sunshine
under moon lit night
life movie on to gain,
as only remedy.

Life is nothing
but a song of sparrow
twitter of heart
rhythm of breath
embracement of love
and rhyme of friends.

Life is nothing
but unrest heart beat;
taking break
at something breathtaking
and sometime dreadful
about dear ones.

வளர்ச்சி வீ ழ்ச்சி / Growth Downturn

நாட்டின் வளர்ச்சி… பொருளாதாரம் வீ ழ்ச்சி
தொழில்நுட்ப வளர்ச்சி… சோம்பேறிகளின் ஆட்சி.

இணையதள வளர்ச்சி… உலகமயல் ஆச்சு
கையடக்க கணினி… வாழ்கை  கைக்குள் முடங்கியாச்சு.

Growth of country… Economic downturn
Growth of technology… Lazy guys rule.

Development of internet… Globalization happened;
Habile computer… Life locks up within hand.

I need you tonight

I need your tonight

I don’t know why
I would feel so glad
having u aside.

I need you tonight
holding your sight
dreaming together
to how to make it real.

I need you tonight
singing lullaby
at my bed side
as I asleep on your lap.

I need you tonight
lighting my heart
as I feel so scare
the day lights disappear.

I need you tonight
badly so,
baby on my bed
I lose grip my fear.

I need you tonight
at the end of twilight
making delight
revealing our secrets.

I need you tonight
holding tight
I cannot think parting you
even the day breaks apart!

I need you tonight
badly so,
baby on my bed
pls. forgive me if me wrong.

I really need you tonight!

Footnote: Inspired by the song of back street boys… it’s been sometime I listen to the songs from Millennium and the first line stroked me a lot today! Lol

Heart gets hurt

Deep in heart I get hurt

The reckless words shatter

And cut pierce my veins

Leaving me at impatient call

When insane people talk

Insensible and extremely intolerable; 

Money is a matter

Cut slice the heart layers

No matter how well and deep u loved

A minute exchange of phrases

Cuts off the ever lasting relationship

You believed lifelong.

In someone’s system of love

The gratitude and attitude is nothing

Once the program is completed;

People whose interaction is almost gadget

Applies the same technique in relationship

Which Sign-offs immediately.

Observation

The uncertain sky

Illuminates in illusion lights

The bright sun-shine

Drives off the dark side

The gloaming moon

Glimpse with gray shades

Thus beyond

Twinkles the stars

The concealed ocean

Ripple with immense species

Yet the transparent water

Hid by a astonishing beauty

Holding plenty of mystery

Yet to reveal and unknown

Certainly fall out inside the future.

Abstract

The crows caw in chorus

The chirping birds from woods

Sing the song of nature,

A sense of Peace

At heart reconnects

The chanting melodies

Of yesteryears prayer,

The faith disappeared

But the truth at heart

Never denies the fact

That once I was faithful.

I don’t believe in mutter

In front of a stone sculpture

The deep felt heart

Indeed gives me content.

Untitled mind

On classic elements

Water

It quenches thirst
occupies two third of body
alike how on earth
its part is apart anything
and nothing works out without it

Fire

It comfort us with warmth
boils water to drink
helps to taste delicious recipe
its risk to play with it, as a sun
it gives energy to the entire earth

Wind

It soothe us with gently breeze
helps to float leaves
bears fragrance to sense
sent things to trash as typhoon
and we’re breathless without it

Space

The infinite sky
is an illusion to vision
lives up to the hues
with skyline separating
the earth and sky in no string

Earth

Basement to everything above
is place for immense species
as a chain all hooked either
and no matter what
gravity pulls to earth.
