நிலவு

நிலவே உயிர் கொடு

நிரந்தரமான நீயோ

நிரந்தரமற்ற உலகில்

நீயாவது என்னை நீங்காது

உலா வருவாயா…

நேற்றும் வந்தாய்

இன்றும் வந்து விட்டாய்

நாளையும் வருவாய்

என் நினைவுகளை கடத்தி

மௌனத்தின் வழியே உறவான நீ

என் உயிர் உள்ளவரை

உலா வருவாயா…

காலத்தின் மாற்றம்

கடந்து போகும் உறவுகள்

கடுமையான சமயங்கள்

கலைந்து போகும்படி

காற்றோடு காற்றாக

கசிந்து உருகி போக

உலா வருவாயா…

தூய்மையான நீயோ

தூய்மையற்ற எண்ணங்கள்

துளை போட்டு இழுத்திட

உன் தூய்மையான மௌனத்தினால்

தூக்கி எரிந்திட

உலா வருவாயா...

Paradise Unpaved!

Imagine how hard it is to break up the asphalt with a small pickaxe. It is not even a good one as it has seen so many asphalts and tortured itself to make the way better. Now imagine you’ve been doing it for several days. The sun gets hotter day by day. There is a heaviness on the body, aches you to rest for a while, makes you sweat like a boiling pot, itchy like a bug landing on you. The dust makes you feel more and more uncomfortable. Sometimes tiny sprinkles of water that wheeling down the black dust on your face. Irretrievable. The job is so unpleasant to imagine. This has been Madhav’s existence for almost a year. Madhav, his pickaxe and the pavement. I have seen him worried that his arms won’t know how to do anything else by the time he gets to stop. Will they remember to buy him colouring notebooks just to see his golden smile. But he never forgets to wear his bright smile in front of his child. Sometimes, he gets to use a shovel to heave the concrete into the circulatin...

Am I a Hindu?

I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to document my own transition away from faith. What follows is what happened for me. Basically, my family is flexible when it comes to the religious part. My father and I used to be way too friendly. My grandfather was very devoted to Lord Shiva. Luckily for me, my father always stand back to hold. He doesn’t feel any sort of prompt or proxy is needed to be deeply religious. He always prays to one God, Lord Krishna (Guruvayoorappan). Children are more vulnerable and emulate those they respect. I still do. My father was a Brahmin, so I became one as well. Realising what I mean by that; I happy being a Brahmin but I didn’t decide to become a Brahmin; it just happened. As a child, if someone you love and respect tells you something is true or illustrates that they believe it be true – it become absolute. There will be no choice in these matters for a human until much later ...
