Drenched...TOTALLY

Amidst the tight schedules I am having at office, I am forced to write this post. Though I liked Ilayaraja's Thiruvasagam very much, I didn't happen to hear all the songs. Today, for the first time, I heard "Muthunarchaamam" song (hope I got the word correctly). One word to summarize the experience: Peerless!!!

The composition was so awesome that I was simply pulled into it. I was just living the moment...and that's no common occurrence! Blessed is Ilayaraja to produce such soul stirring stuff and blessed are we to be able to hear what the Maestro has to offer.

I am not trying to say this is the best song of the album, but just that it struck me real hard. The other songs are equally peerless as well. One small hitch I have is my inability to understand the words which would have taken the experience to an altogether different plane:((

Nevertheless, the web comes in handy. One such translation for Thiruvasagam I found is

Thiruchitrambalam.

Onions...

Tag: State of mind as on 4.40 pm, 16th May, 2006

The peeling has begun...
The pungent stench is evident...
The tear glands are in intense action...
The pain.

As layer by layer goes off...
As The Hand meticulously works...
The pain...
Oh where is it?

The pain is history.
The layers shall peel by peacefully.
The Hand knows what to do.
I shall simply watch.

Bifurcating my posts...

Haven't been blogging for quite a while...Mainly bcoz things I wanted to write about were those that weren't meant for public consumption...

So I have decided to categorize my posts..Here afterwards, posts that have a tag attached that connotes something totally abstruse means that I have written that for my personal consumption, which, in turn means, I may not respond to queries on that post... These kind of posts are written just to take a snap shot of what I think, believe, etc so that I can turn back to it whenever I want to...
