கவிதை சொல்ல ஆசை வந்தது (I really dont know whether its a கவிதை)

நீ
என் பிம்பத்தை நேரில் பார்த்தேன்,
என்னை நானே காதலிக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டேன், நீ


கடல் காதல்
அவள் கரையில் நிற்க,
கடல் காதல் சொல்ல, ஆலையும் வந்தது,
அவள் நிலவு என்றது,
வந்த அலையோ திரும்பவில்லை,
அலை உன் பாதம் தோட நான் விரும்பவில்லை,
கடல்மேல் போர்தொடுக்க, நான் நினைக்க,
நீ என்ன கரம் தோட,
புரிந்துகொண்ட அலையின் உயிர்ரூ பிரிந்தது,
புரியாத கடல்லோ அனுப்பிகொண்டே உள்ளது இன்னும் ஆலையை


மழை
நீயுன் காதல் சொல்ல
மண்ணில் மழை வந்தது
கடலில் அலை நின்றது
கடலும் அழுதது மழை வழியே !


உன்னைக் கண்டபோது
களவு கொடுக்க ஆசை வந்தது
தொலைவது இதயம் என்றபோது !
களவாட ஆசை வந்தது
உன்னைக் கண்டபோது !


காத்திருப்பது மாலை மட்டுமல்ல
குறுகிய சாலை,
குளிரில்லா மாலை,
அடர்த்தி இல்லா மல்லிகை மாலை
உன் கூந்தல் ஏறி மோட்சம் பெற
இன்னும் எத்தனை மாலை?


தவறா
நிலவு நானா நேரில் கண்டேன்,
நினைவை மயக்கும் சிரிப்பை கண்டேன்,
உயிர் உருகும் விழியை கண்டேன்,
சொர்க்கம் ஒன்றை நேரில் கண்டேன்,
தவறா ?,
நித்தம் நித்தம் வேண்டும் என்றேன்!!

Why can’t I have a clone?
When we have so many passion, so many interest, so many wishes, so much to perform why I cant "I clone myself", when I can’t let others to pursue my interest; A frequent thought which ponder in me. I wish I were a doctor when some close friend/relative is in hospital, I wish I were a classical singer when I witness margzhali magha utsavam, I wish I were a policeman when I see gutless person working as a policeman, I wish I were a politician when I see visionless politicians.
What to do… I just ponder in thought, c-l-o-n-e-m-e.

Localization !!!

This had been a long weekend in Coimbatore with family, friends, lots of IPL (Indian to International premier league) and hot election campaigns. The last one made me think a bit. This election is to decide the fate of the nation for another 5 years, even though we know, what will ultimately happen, nothing really happens! With many NGOs’ campaigning for, the nation of the billion to vote at least, a half. That’s a very good sign.

Hmmm… the central point for this topic that I want to discuss is about the state of politics as such. For convince, I have taken Tamil Nadu, but I guess you can take any state, the current scenario might be the same. What has happened, what’s happening now? Little bit of history… (Take a tortoise mat, keep it parallel, gap not more than 1 foot, and rotate it in anti-clockwise direction)

In 60’s the Dravidian party raise in power with the language war as the main theme, creating a separate identity as a state (in general in N-India (out of TN), who ever doesn’t speak Hindi is a Tamilian or a foreigner), sending the congress party out of power once for all.[Lots and lots of controversy involved, I may not be correct too…But I feel it has benefited the people of the state.] This creation of identity in 60’s was only based on language and feel of Dravidian. The parties had clear agenda and vision for the state as whole. I call this phase of 60’s as localization I.

The second phase started in end of 80’s to mid of 90’s with congress having lots of flavor like ice cream within the party (its parties, oops!!!), even the same case with the Dravidian parties and the raise of small caste based parties into power. This phase had not impacted much; they have done their best to splitting the vote.

The current political scenario is pathetic (no better word). Thanks to new born caste based parties in this millennium, which have worsen the situation. Lots of new caste based parties, the old communal parties are having good hold on their vote banks, and this is the third localization. Each and every caste have their own party and own candidate, being lined up for the war 09. In future, we might have a hung constituency where, with few candidates’ support one candidate will be selected; too much localization (hmm...may be “coalition localization”)

Note:
1. I have not considered communist into consideration, since they are global party …

Full sleeper

Amazing, isnt it! Just thought about the Aricent training days, when professor Rao told “Indians are best known for compression, in a bus of 50 we travel around 200, we are 4 times better in compression than any other country. When I booked my ticket from Coimbatore to Bangalore in a travels, I asked for semi sleeper seat, but they offered a full sleeper which is cheaper than that of semi sleeper. I was surprised and asked for any hidden charges but they replied, “Nothing as such sir”. But even nothing sounded fishy, since no where I got a seat I accepted it with a smile. As I boarded the bus, the cleaner (mini driver or asst driver, when driver sleeps he takes care of drivers’ sleep ;)) pointed a finger to the roof in the bus, I thought he is pointed me to keep my luggage, but, finally I understood he asked me to board on the top! (Close to a space like air conditioner duct). Oofff, full sleeper! Even with that stunner I was happy that the bed was sufficient enough for me to roll and had space for luggage. I wondered how they identified this as a potential space, thanks to Prof. Rao who made it easy for me to understand. The cleaner stuck again with a stunner, showing another man the same bed. This was unexpected. Ohh god, I have to share my bed with a stranger, that too a guy (too much of a thought). I was expecting that the guy should not snore, should not roll, should not talk in phone, I expected him to sleep like a ___ on the bed without disturbing. But, that nice guy got in, started talking in phone in a language which I can’t map, that’s good for me as I always slept in fans’ noise, it sounded the same. In minutes he kept the phone and slept in seconds. Thanks god, he didn’t disturb me at all, me too.

Human Catastrophe

Election Day, a must holiday, didn’t vote since I have my electoral card in my native city waiting for my chance to vote. Anyways, that’s not the topic I want to write, its politics! I got up for the day with a message from my friend. The message goes like this,

“Our Prime Minister Mr. Singh when met France prime-minister he discussed about the Sikhs issue about turban*, which is a religious sentiment. But, why he is not meeting Mr. Rajapaksa (pardon me for that Mr., I have to maintain my dignity) to discuss about the Tamilian issue, a human catastrophe. Is the religious sentiment more that human life?”

I was puzzled with this message and started wondering about it. Its so coincidence that the same day, its bandh in Tamilnadu. I know that it’s a liberation group working for a separate Tamil Eelam, with a gun in their hands. I don’t comment on the method of struggle or their ideology. I always wondered what else can be done. To check with history, it was ruled by British, another British touch (they touched badly). It was ruled as a separate state for each of the two different ethnic groups, namely the Sinhala and Tamilian. The post independence is a mess-up history which everyone knows. I had few queries concerning this issue.

1. Why the police of the state, the Americans are silent in this issue. For news media, Secretary of state just sent a message “we condemn this massacre”. Why they didn’t force any action against this human catastrophe. I wonder if Srilanka would have had some amount of crude oil this issue would have been solved by the international community, but they just have tea.

2. The united (sleeping) organization, the UN is just became a dummy organization (like our president, thanks to Mr. Kalam, who had back-bone), works as a re-transmitter centre for American voice. I do appreciate that many other NGO and humanity organization are helping the people in need. But the powerful, resourceful UN keeps shut for most of the issue, like Palestine, Pakistan etc. I feel it always works for the rich nations. Do we really need such an organization? Let’s hope, UN to work in full force in days to come.

3. In the name of srilankan-tamilian issue, the election campaigns are set. This is not a political issue! It’s about million people’s life in that tiny island. Please stop this speeches do some thing useful, send food, medication, drugs and people, help the island rather that just talking. The politician should stop treating this as an election issue.

4. Why to blame external ministry/minister he can’t even get some information from Pakistan in the 26/11 attack even though the whole world knows it was done by Pakistan based terrorist group. He is just a spokes person goes to media and says, “international community is watching Pakistan they need to act now”. Its bullshit, just giving statement, now he is working for his own Lok Shaba seat. Don’t blame there is no point. Another interesting point to note, he (external affairs ministry) can’t even get something done from Srilanka (a small island, economically, politically, arms vice), will he be able to do something done from Pakistan, I don’t think so.

Think, nothing can be done from our side (India); we can send some medicine (from govt. hospital), food, some money (if something left in the treasury, since we have literally waived everything for the past 5 years).

Lets pray that, they all should survive and have better living in the coming years. Else born in a peaceful world, in next birth may be some other planet, else may be not, humans.

May their souls rest in Peace

Note: * - I don’t know much about the turban issue, may be its related to helmet, like in Canada.

Leeches and the Cleaner

It’s been a sad week, all over the world media hovering around Mumbai. It’s ‘a Wednesday’ that I hope to happened but happened with a total script change. “Condolences for all the suffering and suffered families. Salute to the Brave hearts”. It’s been a regular scene in Mumbai, suffering since1992. Government whom we appointed for keeping the law and order are busing blaming each other. Find a television camera make politically sellable story and get the publicity. The useless channels go behind the “controversy” rather than news. Consistently, inconsistent intelligence network, news sharing between agencies. But after all the events the Intelligence Bureau’s consistent statement “we have cautioned the state authorities”.

After all, I appoint a cleaner to clean the house, but that bloody-guy is not cleaning, but make my house a play ground for all the nasty games, Will you keep your mouth shut ? But I do, because I used to it, rather we all used to it. I am ashamed by the assault made by leaches. So, what I do ?. I think for two days, discuss with whom ever I find, write a frustrating article, mail it to all and sleep nicely, like a helpless ass. I decide not to go behind the leaches since I am unable to handle the pest and go to Mumbai and help the NSG. But I can even do that with out the pest. Yes, I have to screw my cleaner (bloody servant), and make him clean my home back like the plain-old-clean house full of jasmines and lotus. Here the scenario is quite different, lot of cleaners, lot of owners but only one house. Scenario might be different but our aim is the same, to clean the house.

So, put your concise effort in every single move you make. Even, if you spend one rupee think whether it can used to clean. Remember we have a lot to clean. Be responsible, ask questions, and take a straight route even if it takes years to go. This should be our first step towards cleaning our house. We should not be the “Common stupid man” again.

Let’s make our house clean and green again.
Jai Hind.

Law of interesting work

I don’t understand a hell or I don’t give a damn what I don’t like. It’s the statement I made to my TL i.e. Technical Leader a person who is old enough to advise some one technically and who can lead a team of fresher man, techie and pseudo techie. I clash with my TL most of the times not technically but in understanding people’s mentality towards work, work allocation, people understanding and motivation. I simply call it team dynamics. I feel it changes from team to team.

Just got a sandwich and sat with my colleague for breakfast, my TL who’s my favorite tea-mate just joined us. We chatted from elections to evolutions to Ileana. Our discussion about the team and team dynamics are never ending.

One heated argument was “if same work is allocated to a person multiple times, it improves work efficiency and the understanding of the problem”. I really gone mad for his statement and said it pure bullshit it’s going to improve nothing, the work is gonna suck the interest of a person if it is an uninteresting problem. I hope he would have meant an interesting problem:).

I do really feel bored to do the same work, again and again and again. Personally I will do first time good, second time better and third time worst**:) (** If I am not interested). At uninterested work times I feel I should show un-interest in my interest;).

I think my TL had a point too, if his entire team asks for an interesting (“by law”) work, if he has time-bounded activities to be completed, what he can do? Business can’t go on personal interest or the individual employee’s interest; it always goes for money.

By law:

1. All work are not interesting
2. Interesting work always have lesser time (Amount of time for work)
3. Interesting work is always less (Amount for work)
4. Interesting work at all times are not interesting
5. Uninteresting work with more time is interesting (lot of leisure time)
6. Uninteresting work done by your buddy is interesting for you (Other side is always green)

Finally, I lost my interest in writing this :(. CY…
