salesperson...!

a new transformation,
rather a forced one,
against the will and wish,
from now on you are cursed to be...
what ...?

be always in the market,
speak the language of profit,
make money, gather profit,
then where is life? i asked.
life is like that, replied the sage.

when you say one 'yes'
it presupposes so many other 'no's.
it's the irony of life...
life is like that, replied the sage.

the power to say no,
is always there:
then how about the destiny?
to reach there, do all
even if against your will.

is it so binding that
there should be only one way,
i can move this way or that way,
the onus is completely on me.

guide me you Oh! eternity,
to get through the momentary existence.

land of rasam and kolambu...!!

innocent people live here
they enjoy rasam and kolambu
with the white rice cooked.

my friends brought three lunch boxes
we are but five.
what is the problem? its usual.
we sat in a circle sharing the meal.

chellam open your mouth
have this ball of rise immersed in kolambu.
super its wonderful.
the rasam is superb.
inform your mother that
we enjoyed the food.

its a wonder, my friend
you just open your mouth sitting there
the other gives you rice and kolambu
right in your mouth.

the love expressed
the love experienced
the love shared

thankom eat, eat,
otherwise you will be tired.
the motherly care,
sisterly concern...

son of a farmer...!!

what you do?
i am a software engineer.
so what, don't you breathe
don't you laugh, don't you cry

i am
son of the parents
who is doing agriculture
so what?
aren't they human persons.
where is the value you received
as a sofisticated officer

you, you people
live for money and pleasure

the poor farmers
live for the life after
eduring the pains
and that is the difference
you should keep in mind..

nobody is targeted
neither you nor i
but we should realize
there is something beyond
this fleeting world

as the poet rightly puts it
"the flower that smiles today tomorrow falls,
everything we wish to stay temps and then flies away...

let us strive for a glimps of eternity
and that will do...
