8:10 pm, office respite.

When you move, it doesn't. When you don't, it does.
Then, it's time to shut up.

Three snaps

Sugar, it seemed!

With every grain
The dryness increased.

Salt, it is
In the parched throat...

---------------------------------------------

All fingers,
Different shapes and size,
Point in the same direction,
Irrefutably!

----------------------------------------------

I know not thy dedication,
I know not thy love,
I know not what thy did,
But I feel you...

And in that embrace,
In that knowing,
In that possibility,
I tread...

Not

Nought to One...
One to Two...
Two to Three...

Tired I am, of these counts,
And the path, unfolds...

As I reach,
The nought,
I become,
Not.

Movies

Got to see three movies this weekend.

Pollaadhavan: Nice movie. I liked it. The movie was moving at a fast pace but for the inappropriate positioning of the songs. Clearly, the pick of the Diwali Tamil movies. The performance of Dhanush and Daniel Balaji deserve a mention.

Taare Zameen Par: What a wonderful movie! Was very happy to see such a high quality movie from Bollywood. The director in Aamir has etched every scene and has extracted an excellent performance from everyone in the movie, especially the children. They were so natural. The performance of Aamir himself was very beautifully done. And the foundation of the movie, the boy who donned Ishaan, am sure will get the best child artiste award for the year. Music by Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy was also excellent. Overall, a must watch movie.

Ratatouille: Pixar never failed to amaze me and this movie is no exception. The way these story writers weave the magic fabric with their imaginations knowing no bounds is dumbfounding. So seamlessly they build the emotions, humor, human sentiments, music, dance, everything... through the animated characters. Being an animation movie freak, I enjoyed the movie very much.

பயணம்

கண்கள் இருந்தும்
தெரியாத பாதை
கண்கள் மூடியதும்
தெரிய வந்தது...

பாதை தெரிந்தும்
அதில் நடந்தும் விழுந்தும்
செய்வதறியாது இழுக்கப்படும்
குருடன் ஆனேனே அப்பனே...

என்று கிட்டுமோ அந்த வெளிச்சம்
அன்றே எனக்கு மோக்க்ஷம்
அது வரை தொடரும் இப்பயணம்
உன்னைத் தேடி, உன் கையை பிடித்துக்கொண்டு...

:)

* Happy new year!

* How much is enough? Every point, how much ever I gather, something more is always desired. This was "knowledge". With awareness, when I experience this, the fool I am making out of myself is increasingly becoming visible. And this is for my good.

* Just the way life has guided me along this far, I wait for it, personified or otherwise, neither of which makes a difference any longer, to lead me to where it has to.

* As I happened to move along with new people, I realised how much of a transformation has happened within. The sense of effortlessness, being in the moment, the love for the other being, being in tune woth nature... I don't know what it was...but the very way life is happening within me seems different from the rest.

* As lost as always, hanging on to the tools, preparing the soil, to flower some day...
