i was sneezing since yesterday, wondering who's remembering me. Then casper called me an hour or so ago from his hometown near a beautiful seashore, and told me it was mkbsiva! :d
let the past be gone, buddy. Think of that little scuffle no more! And, btw, you are mistaken. I don't hate you. Matter of fact, i don't hate anybody or anything.
There is a song, you know, written by gulzar: ik pal tham ke rona / hoga ik pal chalnaa hans ke! / jeeven se lambe hain, bandhu, ye jeevan ke raste... (a moment spent in stopping midway to shed a tear / shall be better served in walking a step further with a smile / (because) life's journey is longer than life itself, brother)
these lines i always try to remember. Therefore, can't afford this luxury, you know - 'to hate'. Hating is wasting time.
yes, i am brusque, sometimes extremely rude. No apologies for that. Till a couple of years ago, i used to wonder: why do i sometimes get so impatient toward people in general, and never toward any animal or bird?
i wonder no more. Now i know, i am built this way by the almighty. And his will is being done, so to speak. I don't care much what people say or think of me. Whom eventually i am answerable to, i have a fairly good idea.
and, siva, thanks very much for that link to my post.
god, i forgot writing it! Did i really write something like that?! Wow...
sg, once said on the fone (in his off-guard moment, i presume!) that he always copied and saved such posts of mine. Hope he will have made a long pdf for me by now. I would love to gloat over reading them! :d
and, please guys, don't worry about one-and-only sg. Let nifty weekly chart show 2 white candles, and our bull (rat) will be out of his hiding place in no time! :rofl:
THOSE HIGHLIGHTED LINES MAKE MY MEMORIES GO BACK 10 YRS... Its a movie named Aalavandhan which is a Tamil Thriller film released in 2001. The movie stars Kamal Haasan in a dual role... with Raveena Tandon and Manisha Koirala as his love partners.
There is a song from that movie sung by kamal itself for his anti-hero role...
here is the song and the translated version...
Kadavul pathi, mirugam pathi,
Kalanthu seiytha kalavai naan.
Veliye mirugam, ulle kadavul
Vilanga mudiya kavithai naan.
Mirugam kontru, mirugam kontru
Kadavul valarka parkinten
Aanal, kadavul kondru, unavai thintu
mirugam mattum valarkirathe
Half-god, half-man,
A mixture of the two made me.
A beast outside, a God inside,
I am incomprehensible poetry.
Killing the beast, I try to raise god
But, killing and usurping god,
The animal alone grows in me.
Nandakumara, Nandakumara,
Naalai mirugam kolvaya,
Mirugam kondra echam kondu
Meendum kadavul seivaya
Kurangil iruthu manithan ental
Manithan niryai velvana
Miruga gyathiyil pirantha manitha
Deva jyothiyil kalappaya
Nandakumara, Nandakumara,
Will you kill the beast tomorrow?
Will you raise god from the beast's remains?
If man evolved from monkey,
Will he completely overcome it?
You who are born in the animal species,
Will you become one with the eternal flame?
Repeating
Kadavul pathi, mirugam pathi,
Kalanthu seiytha kalavai naan.
Veliye mirugam, ulle kadavul
Vilanga mudiya kavithai naan.
Mirugam kontru, mirugam kontru
Kadavul valarka parkinten
Aanal, kadavul kondru, unavai thintu
mirugam mattum valakirathe.
Half-god, half-man,
A mixture of the two made me.
A beast outside, a God inside,
I am incomprehensible poetry.
Killing the beast, I try to raise god
But, killing and usurping god,
The animal alone grows in me.
Slurring
Kadavul pathi, mirugam pathi,
Kalanthu seiytha kalavai naan.
Kaatril yeeri, mazhayil aadi,
Kavithai padum paravai naan.
Half-god, half-man,
A mixture of the two made me.
Riding the wind, dancing in the rain
I am the bird that sings poems.
Faster
Kadavul pathi, mirugam pathi,
Kalanthu seiytha kalavai naan.
Kaatril yeeri, mazhayil aadi,
Kavithai padum paravai naan
Kaatril yeeri, mazhayil aadi,
Kavithai padum paravai naan
Ovvoru thuliyum, ovvoru thuliyum
Uyiril verkal kulirkirathe
Ella thuliyum kulirumpothu
Iruthuli mattum Sudukirathe.
Half-god, half-man,
A mixture of the two made me.
Riding the wind, dancing in the rain
I am the bird that sings poems.
In every drop of rain, my soul grows colder
Even when all drops are cold, only two remain hot.
Nandakumara, Nandakumara,
Mazhai neer sudathu theriyatha,
Kannam vazhikire kanner thulithan
Vennir thuli ena arivaya
Sutta mazhayum, sudatha mazhayum,
ontai kandavan neethane
Kanner mazhayil kanner mayayil
Kulikavaithavan neethane
Nandakumara, Nandakumara,
Don't you know that rainwater is never hot?
Do you know that the tears that
flow down your cheek that are hot?
You are one who got wet in the hot and cold rain
You are one who got wet in tears.
