உன்னில் நான் என்னில் நீ நமக்காக எல்லாம்
வாழ்த்தியவர்கள் ஏர்டெல்லும் பிஎஸென்னலும்
காதலுக்கு அருஞ்சொற்பொருளாய் சுற்றிய நாட்கள்
பின்பு வாழ்க்கை தலையிட்டது ~ கல்யாணம்
ம் ஓ என்பதே அதிகபட்ச பேச்சாய்
காதல் இருக்கிறது நேரம்தான் இல்லை
எல்லாம் புல்லுக்கு இரைத்த நீராய்
உன் புன்னகையும் நேரமும் மட்டும் தா பிழைதிடுவேன்

கலிகாலம்
வீடு ரெண்டுபட்டது.. ஒரே அமர்களம். நேஹா குளிச்சாசா?
dress பண்ணிண்டாச்சா? அவளுக்கு வேண்டியது எல்லாம் எடுத்து பைல வச்சாசா?
அங்க என்ன கிடைக்குமோ கிடைக்காதோ.. பாவம் எங்களை விட்டு தனியாகவே இருந்ததில்லை.. புது மனிதர்கள் புது இடம். சரியாக சாப்பிடுவாளோ என்னமோ? அங்கே எல்லாரும் அன்பாக பழகுவார்களா?
நான் வேலை வேலை என்று இருந்ததால் ஒன்றும் சொல்லி குடுக்கவில்லை.. என்னை குறை சொல்வார்களோ? என் அம்மா "நான் ரெண்டு பேரை வளர்த்து எல்லாம் செய்யலயா? நீ ஒரு பொண்ணுக்கு இப்படி tension ஆறயே? "
நான் காதிலே வாங்கிக்கொள்ளாமல் அவரிடம் சென்றேன். "வண்டி சரியா வந்துடுமா? நான் இங்க ஒரு ஆளா எல்லாம் பண்றேன்..நீ இப்படி கவலயே இல்லாம internet browse பண்ற?" என்னவர் பாவமாய் என்னை ஒரு பார்வை பார்த்துவிட்டு "time தான் இருக்கேடா... நேஹா எல்லாம் சமத்தா ready ஆய்டுவா.. கவலை படாத" என்றார். இவரிடம் பேசி ஆகப்போரது ஒண்ணுமில்லை.போய் நேஹாவை எழுப்பப் பார்த்தேன்.
Madam Highness அப்போ தான் எழுத்து சோம்பல் முறித்துவிட்டு அம்மா என்றாள்."எழுந்த்ரு.சீக்கரம் கிளம்பு. அப்றம் கொஞ்சலாம்.மொத நாளே கெட்ட பேர் வாங்காதே.." பார்க்க பாவமாய் இருந்தாலும் விரட்டினேன்... அப்படி இப்படி என்று தயாரானாள்.இவள் வாழ்க்கை எப்படி இருக்குமோ என்ன செய்வாளோ என்று எண்ணியபடி நானும் தயாரானேன்.
போகின்ற வழியில் பிள்ளையாரை பார்த்துவிட்டு கிளம்பினோம்.நேஹா எல்லாரிடமும் பேசிக்கொண்டே வந்தாள்.. இடம் இடம் நெருங்க நெருங்க என் கண்களில் ஈரம். எல்லாரும் என்னை ஒரு மாதிரியாக
பார்க்க, என் குட்டி தேவதையோ என் உணர்ச்சி புரிந்த்தவளாய் "அம்மா அழாம bye சொல்லு. ஸ்கூல் முடிஞ்ச உடனே நான் வந்துவேன். Miss என்ன பார்த்துப்பா.." ..
ம்.. எல்லாம் கலிகாலம்டா.எனக்கு ஸ்கூல் போறச்சே அழற குழந்தை தான் வேணும்.. யாரவது கேக்கறீங்களா?
பி.கு இது ஒரு கற்பனை கதை. என் பெண்ணிற்கு ஒரு வயதுதான்..

Given a chance
1) Miss G
A very close friend of mine. She was with me for about 2 years in school (5th and 6th). I liked her from the day she joined our school.She was a very brilliant girl. I still remember her oratorical skills she had at that young age. Soon she became the topper of our class. We remained very close friends knowing each other's likes and dislikes till one day when she suddenly disappeared from my life just like she came into it.. She stopped coming to school one day and what we learnt about her family was not that good. I still pray that she be safe and well settled in life.I dont even know if she still remembers me...
2)Mr B
We studied the first year of college together in Madurai after which I took a transfer to a college in Chennai. We were a gang of about 15 and I manage to remain in touch with atleast about 5 people today. Everything was going well when suddenly this guy fell in love with a girl. He started distancing himself from everyone. I did not know this for a long time. One day he had called up to find out how Infy is and all that for a batchmate of ours. I gave him all the info and finally asked him what was the matter between them unknowingly (Only later I came to know of the affiar). From that day he stopped calling/mailing me. I did not mean to be so inquisitive.. Given a chance I would explain it to him. His wife is still with Infy and we get to meet often.
3)Miss S
We studied 3 years of college together.I got transferred to this college during the second year of engineering. It was near the end of 3rd sem that I went to this college. By then friend groups had already been formed and I was left alone. This girl was in a group of 3. One day she came to sit near me because she had a fight with the other two. From then on she never left my side. I soon became good friends with the other two as well but this girl still has a special place in my heart. Today she lives with her husband in Australia and it has been 5 years since we met. For some unknown reason she has decided to stay away from all of us. I know her mail id but I dont mail her that often because she is not too willing to remain in touch. I just let her be....
4)Miss M
A very sweet girl I got as a friend when I worked in Noida. Language was no barrier.She used to talk in Hindi and I used to respond in English. After I left Noida, we did have mail contacts for quite sometime. But somehow I lost touch with her.Hope she is doing well.
5)Mr P
Now I cannot call him my friend.. He was a teacher at the Hindustan Management Academy(part of HAL Bangalore). As part of the training, we executive engineers at HAL had to attend a 6 week course at the HMA. He is such an enthusiast that the moment you see him you are totally transformed. Those 6 weeks were a bliss.I had visited him twice after I joined Infy and we had mail contacts till very recently and he suddenly stopped responding to mails. Wish I went to Bangalore at least once to meet this wonderful person...
Life is like a train journey.. People come and go in your lives...
Some stay for a longer duration and do nothing to you and some stay for a shorter duration and leave a permanent mark in your heart.....

Life is not fair
Feeling very low from yesterday. It is about an 8-year old. She is being treated for blood cancer for the past 40days. She is a distant relative of Hubby's(R) and we are searching very badly for a platelet donor. The process is much more painful than the normal blood donation process. Me,R and his cousin are trying to get some donors. We have 2 volunteers from Infy. Thanks to the BB that we have in Infosys.
Life is very unfair I say.. On one side we have 80+ aged people who have no one to take care of, counting their days and on the other end we have these little ones struggling for life... From the time I heard this news, for some reason whenever I see my daughter my eyes become moist.I have always sympathised with people who are suffering but for the first time, it is empathy.. What can I do to make my daughter's life better? I have reduced the usage of plastic for her (Not used much from day one) and have never given her any tin food hoping all these will safeguard her from the most dreaded C disease. I take each day as bonus. My hubby says I am overreacting but he looks shaken too.
Why is that mankind still cannot find a cure for this? Are we doomed to be like this? Atleast let it spare the kids......

Neha's vocabulary
My daughter surprised me more than once in the last 3 days...
On Sunday afternoon, Baby N(1 Year old) was playing with the a.c remote. I was just watching her with a water bottle in my hand. Suddenly I had this urge to ask her what it was... Prompt came the reply "bottle". I had the shock of my life. I never expected her to tell that. She can say "paatti" (meaning grandma) and "maadu" (meaning cow) too. My daughter who still cannot say "amma" can say bottle, maadu and paatti. How cool is that? (It is not that cool after all *sigh*).
Yesterday after I reached home from office, she wanted me to take her out for a short walk. Any guesses what she did?? She ran and fetched my dupatta so I can take her out and said "bye" pointing to the door... (*urgh* So my mom is not the only one who will behind me to make sure I get properly dressed)May be it is not such a great thing but it made me think we have parented a child prodigy for a second. Right after we came back I gave her her evening meal. All the usual tantrums, me losing out on her and finally giving up and she eating from my mom's plate... She is definitely a NORMAL Child...

An interesting autodriver
I had been to Kumaran Stores to buy blouse pieces to be given as gifts for the women folk on the day of Neha's ayushhomam. On my way back I got into this brand new auto. The driver did not know the route to my place. I thought to myself that he must be new to Chennai. I asked him about this and pat came the reply "I was a manager in a jewellery mart for 15 yrs. I developed stomach ulcer and changed profession to get back in shape". Jumping into the fire from frying pan I guess.. Neways that is not what I wanted to write about... He gave me some gyan about the jewellery business. He is also planning to open up a jewellery shop on his own next year. A kg of gold costs 15lakhs as of today (or yesterday). He is waiting for the gold price to come down. He also said that Saravana stores gold jewellery (useful info) is quite good and also the best place to get diamonds is Rajmandir in Cathedral Road (useful at the cost of a big dent in hubby's purse).Interesting guy but a typical autodriver too in that he did not accept the fare I was willing though he did not know much about the distance/autofares in Chennai.
(M)Ad sense
The Hamam soap ad is really disturbing. The ad goes like this. A mom asks her daughter to buy a soap. In her hurry she forgets to tell her what soap to buy. She starts panicking and runs behind her daughter thinking about all the bad things in the world that would happen to her daughter if she got the wrong soap. That she would develop skin allergy and pimples, people will stay from her in school and she will become the object of ridicule in class and eventually lose all confidence in self. WTF? Who comes up with nasty ideas for a soap ad? It is the responsibility of the parents to make the child understand that it is ok to get pimples in the adolescent age and it is just a passing phase.It is nature's own way to say that the child is growing up. And who says Hamam can prevent all these skin problems?? It is not a even classified as a medicated soap for that matter.And the second thing is why should this ad feature a mom and daughter and not a mom and son?? Dont boys get pimples? This ad is aimed at girls/women and it will definitely spoil their minds. Women are achieving great heights and here we have this ad which says you need to look beautiful to make friends and to be recognised among your own folk.. A.T.R.O.C.I.O.U.S is all I can say. Is there a forum where we can opine our views on this??
