காதல்...





மௌனம்.

பெண்ணே-
நீ பேசிய போது நிறுத்த மனமில்லை,
நீ நிறுத்திய போதோ மனமே என்னிடம் இல்லை!!



பிறப்பு.

பெண்ணே -
உன்னால் நான் தினமும் பிறக்கிறேன்!
அன்பே-
இரவில் உன் நினைவுகள் தன என்னை கொன்றுவிடுகிறதே!!


கண்ட நாள் முதல்..

இது வரை நான் நிற்கிறேன்,
உலகும் சுற்றுகிறது,
என்று நினைத்தேன் -
அது பொய் -
நான் சுற்றுகிறேன் !
உலகம் நிற்கிறது !!
உன்னை கண்ட நாள் முதல்.

குழி..


காதலியே! என்னை காப்பாற்று-
உன் கன்னக்குழியில் தடுக்கி
இதயத்தில் விழுந்துவிட்டேன்!!


காதல் தோல்வி.

நான் காதலில் தோல்வி அடைந்தாலும்
தற்கொலை செய்ய மாட்டேன் - பெண்ணே
நீ சுவாசிக்கும் காற்றை
சுவாசிக்கும் வாய்ப்பை
இழந்திவிடுவேனே !!

சொர்கமே நரகம்..

இறந்தபின் சொர்கமோ நரகமோ
இயற்கையில்..
சொர்கமே நரகமான பின் இறப்பது
காதலில்..

Happy 2000 :) - Test Cricket - Myths

I sit here writing this blog after the completion of Day 4 of India Vs England match at Lords. 100 th test match between the two sides and the 2000th overall. Although I couldn catch most of it due to my Tirupathi trip, I tuned in for the interesting parts of Day 4.

1.Stuart Broad and Matt Prior's
2.Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman's partnership.

(I missed Ishant's spell :()












FOR THE CRITICISMS THAT TEST CRICKET HAS FACED, this match and take my word, this entire series is going to revive the Grand Old format of Cricket. Just four days into the series we have had glimpses of brilliance in batting (KP - 202*) , banana swing bowling (PK 5-for) , TECHNICAL PERFECTION (RD - 103*) ,lion hearted bowling performances (Broad,Ishant 4-for's), major collapses (Eng 62-5),determined comebacks (Prior and broad partnership) ,worrying injuries (ZK and GG) and What not of cricket. I would rather stick out my tongue to say that The INDIANS WILL FIGHT REALLY HARD TO SECURE A DRAW IN THIS TEST.

This is TEST CRICKET. AT ITS BEST. ITS not monotonic. IT is a mixture of emotions. IT WILL STAY. And so will the cover drives, the slip catches, the forward defence, the short legs,the silly points, the night watchman and the exciting draws.

Myth 1 : TEST CRICKET is accused of not producing results.
Reality: The result is that Cricket is the winner.

Myth 2: YOU NEED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CRICKET TO WATCH TEST MATCHES.
Reality: Take a look at the faces of the players,you can see determination, respect,passion and pride they exhibit which will makes you realize that YOU ARE WATCHING SOMETHING SPECIAL.

Myth 3: Dot balls are boring.
Reality : Its tough to defend than to attack. A batsman has to judge the swing of the ball, the line, the length, understand the pitch, the field positions, the match situation.etc in order to defend a ball. But to attack, you just have to see it and hit it.

Myth 4: Five days are too long.
Reality : Its a "TEST". Its about perseverance.

Myth 5: T20s and ODIs are faster and better.
Reality: Test Cricket is the highest form. Its the dream of cricketer. ODI and T20's are like action movies. Test Cricket is a CLASSIC.

Myth 6: Test cricket is declining.
Reality : I m gonna quote our Indian captain MS. "It looks good for another 2000" :).

Myth 7: I m really old and boring.
Reality : I m young (just 21) and the second part is upto you to decide :P :)

Be the miracle...

This might turn out to be a failure. But I'm happy that I tried. Also, if this works out, I'm proud of it.

As the title suggests, enough of expecting changes. We blame our Government for what it isn't providing. Are we doing our duties well? Do we deserve the rights? I am going to jot down some changes that I would like to see in an Indian citizen. These might be simple, but remember, A journey of 1000 miles begins from a small step.

I don't wanna make this monotonous or preach discipline. For I am not good enough. I want this article to be collaborative and co-operative. Please add on your opinions/other changes you would like to see in the comments box. Even if one person changes a single habit of his, this article has achieved its aim.



1.STOP LITTERING. ITS OUR COUNTRY. Will you mess your own house?

2.STOP SPITTING. I don't want your infections man.

3.NO SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES. (Oh! This is already a law, ain't it?) Then Why the hell don't you abide by it?

4.PAY YOUR TAXES.(Only if you do your duties, you can demand your rights. I think you are too old enough to teach you Civics.)

5.OBEY TRAFFIC RULES.(Stop at signals. Hate it when I'm being forced by the driver behind me to move when the signal is in RED).

6.STOP ABUSING IN PUBLIC.( MTC bus or train passengers, you might know the value of this).






I have a stated a few. Its now up to you to add on and act upon the issues.

P.S : IF you think that I don't deserve to say all this, Well, Ya, I accept. But I at least try my best. And, that's what I expect from everyone.

P.P.S: If you have commented or changed something, Hats Off. This is dedicated to you.
