Chinna Thayaval | சின்ன தாயவள்

சின்ன தாயவள்

Once again, another wonderful composition from Isagnani Ilayaraja in the movie Thalapathy. Music, especially the background music by Ilayraja was playing a role as much as any of the main cast in this movie by Mani Ratnam - who is an atheist and made the wonderfully poignant Ravanan movie that showed characters from different perspective.

I had a habit of sharing Thalaivar's Then madurai Vaigai nadhi song - for friends birthday in Facebook. It is a wonderful song and probably one of the best birthday songs, in my opinion. Strangely, until recently, none has shared me a Thalaivar song, repeatedly. The music and words in this song convey emotions and feelings that far outlive the times. I'm ever thankful for the love that shared this song - a தாலாட்டு/lullaby that I seek, as she is a சின்ன தாய் as well.

Having said that, even in this song- a forsaken/abandoned son - sees the mother from a distance and the stifled emotional feelings are captured. I recently updated my as is blog at the end for the forsaken feeling. It is such a hard feeling - one I never wished on somebody ever and bear all the disappointments/pain - with the hope that being true will turn things around.

In the above video, if one were to see it fully, there are many things that can be commented about. At 2 min :12 sec when the police officer enquires Rajini, the emotion that comes out is a true testament to being forsaken/abandoned. While in the movie, it is about biological mother/son and the intensity is naturally high, the feeling nevertheless is same even otherwise for any forsaken soul.

Maniratnam would have have also shown a wonderful love between Rajini/Shobana, which is one of my favorite till date, that unfortunately didn't result in them being together. As we can see from this video, it is the father, who is like a god figure to the girl, taking a stand against it due to his own beliefs. Even after having being told that his daughter likes Rajini, he says it will happen on my dead body - clearly putting his views ahead of his daughter and her well being. At any rate, it was Shobana who agrees to abide by this as respect for her father and as a show of love for him. The question is - what would have Arvind Swamy done if he had known of the love of the girl he is about to marry or even after marriage ? Maniratnam crafted Arvind swamy character with such integrity/honesty - he was shown as reciting அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே to his father itself - he is likely to respect the girl's wish, despite it being against one's own. While it is not uncommon for parents to be extra protective and enforce their views on kids, it is still parents and although being wrong, it can evolve to be an obligation/respect/love angle for children to abide. However, how can one explain whatever enforcing his views/deceit/selfish/amorous needs ahead of the girls genuine wish and not stepping back? One can pardon the unwillingness for the first time due to shock or trying to look for oneself. But to go back on the word said in airport is nothing short of deceit and cheating. From then on, it is nothing short of deceit and silent deceit/cheating. To top it, even after repeated attempts, if the struggle of somebody is not felt everyday, what does it say about the true underlying character? And to continue in that context - disgustingly amorously all the time - and provide care/love ONLY acc to their wishful context and not address the real reason in meetings, is NOT genuine. To perceive it as one - Fuck that crap. Fuck That Crap. FUCK THAT CRAP

Anyways, the truly forsaken soul, will only search for the madi - as it happened.

However, to be repeatedly forgotten, ignored and as a choice, eventually forsaken (for lies, panividai, deceit), is too painful. Yet, நனி நன்றி - as I miss. What chance do I or the feelings/truth I have shared have amidst the plethora of other emotions/activities/events/relations/weekends/considerations/obligations/AMAZONPRIME/compulsions/nadippu/sarasari/calls/moodswings/busy life? So, with the just a final hope for truth having a chance, for manasatchi sake, I have to regretfully, unwillingly, forsake myself. 

Nee Paartha Paarvai ku oru Nandri | நீ பார்த்த பார்வைக்கொரு நன்றி

Nee Paartha Paarvai ku oru Nandri | நீ பார்த்த பார்வைக்கொரு நன்றி

One of the most beautiful songs of Maestro Isagnani Ilayaraja - நீ பார்த்த பார்வைக்கொரு நன்றி. Any rendition of piano music tucks at my heart and the music that starts this song is just the hook I have always fell for, to keep on listening to it. Apparently, Ilayaraja was not the initial composer for this movie and somebody else was meant to do it and he bowed out. Ilayaraja agreed to complete the music and this song was composed after the song was already shot.


நீ பார்த்த பார்வைக்கொரு நன்றி! 
நமைச் சேர்த்த இரவுக்கொரு நன்றி! 
அயராத இளமை சொல்லும் நன்றி நன்றி! 
அகலாத நினைவு சொல்லும் நன்றி நன்றி!
நான் என்ற சொல் இனி வேண்டாம் 

நீ என்பதே இனி நான் தான் 

இனிமேலும் வரம் கேட்கத்தேவை இல்லை 

இது போல் வேரெங்கும் சொர்கம் இல்லை 

உயிரே வா
நாடகம் முடிந்தபின்னாலும் நடிப்பின்னும் தொடர்வது என்ன? 
ஓரங்க வேடம் இனி போதும் பெண்ணே! 
உயிர் போகும் மட்டும் உன் நினைவே கண்ணே! 
உயிரே வா

Continuing in the essence of this song, I think it is fitting to share a poem by lyricist Na Muthukumar (who left us all too soon).

A facebook post about Na Muthukumar had the following wonderful snippet - 

இன்றும் நா.முத்துக்குமாரின் வெற்றிடம் பதிவு செய்யப்பட்டுக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது. எந்தவொரு ஆளுமை இறந்தாலும் பேரிழப்பு என்று சொல்வது வழக்கம். நா.முத்துக்குமாரின் இன்மை என்பது பேரிழப்பையும் தாண்டி சொல்லொணாத் துயர். துயர் எழுதிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் கவிதைகளுக்கு உரை எழுதவேணும் நா.முத்துக்குமார் திரும்ப வேண்டும். திரும்பப்போவதில்லை என்பது இயற்கை. ஏங்குவதும் கூட இயற்கை தான். ஏங்கவைப்பவர்களே ஆறுதல் அளிப்பதும் கூட இயற்கையாக இருப்பதால் நா.முத்துக்குமாரின் எழுத்து மிகப்பெரிய ஆறுதல். பேரிழப்பின் ஆதி ஆறுதல்.

In life, weakness is imaginary.















Realize. Wisely. Live truthfully. Live.

As is

I like writing. I like writing/scribbling down my thoughts and musings - random or otherwise, I write. I take good care in my effort to articulate my thoughts as clear as possible - these writings will reflect me over the years. There is a long pending blog post - about inequality - that is almost 3+ years in the making. Although I have not been actively working on it, whenever I come across any article or video or any information that I can use for this post, I save it. I intend to complete it sometime but I'm going to use one of the images of that post in here as well. Off late, sometimes, I use songs as a metaphorical medium to convey certain intent. I find this useful to retain the abstract'ness' of my post and also hope to not reveal more than necessary. This keeps the blog post applicable and attributable for various reasons and scenarios. Also, it allows me to be lazy and not write more but still convey, in some crude form or otherwise, some meaning alongside the video/song post. However, in this blog post, I intend to remove a layer or two of the abstract nature and hope to write - as is.

Timing

Timing and me have always been having a strange relationship. In some cases, I have had the fortune of good timing. But, in many cases, it has not been so. For instance, the current quagmire with regard to the immigration influenced job related events, for lack of better word, is unfolding like a slow disaster that ought to be addressed sooner than later. There literally was nothing that I could have done to anticipate certain things ahead as these processes were supposed to happen as status quo and nothing out of ordinary was expected. However, things happened exactly the opposite manner and I reacted based on it and assessed the outcomes that can help in my current set up - as is - and followed up on those lines for few weeks. Later, after concluding it may not work, I decided to look other ways too. And, even outside, the process is dragging and the elusive break through, based on few preference, is yet to happen and I hope it occurs soon. Having said that, the card dealt to me was bad - on timing wise - in terms of immigration related work authorization. Wherever I could think ahead last year, I did and there was literally nothing I could have done different to alter the current situation - but for having ventured a guess/assumption correctly the current outcome.

Timing wise, there is another thing that has kind of haunted me since a long time. Although I had done all that I could even at that time, it was a wrong timing issue but amenable nevertheless. Anyways, coming to the present moment, in one of my earlier blog post Hurt, I had spoken about the raw form of the hurt and that is so true. Despite all my other activities and distractions, the feel of hurt is so heavy that I can literally drown in it's weight. It is physically perceptible, especially when I'm alone and the heaviness can literally sink me. It is hard to describe it and may even be laughing matter for people who may not have visibility in to the entirety of the context. But to have the events happen as it did and to be disregarded, even in thoughts wise, is something one can never prepare for. It is worse than death.

Come to think of it, the whole thing from the beginning has multiple emotions/feelings and many other things but if I can make an attempt at classifying them, can briefly put it in to these boxes - feelings/emotions, the way the events had happened and the subsequent wronged angle. While it is hard to keep aside any of these, just for argument sake, I try to keep aside (momentarily) the first two things and look at the wronged angle in detail. What is this wronged angle? I have a deep feeling of wronged, being tricked and deceived, ever so cleverly and ever so skillfully, and quietly. I feel wronged not just for myself. I feel wronged even for the whole thing - the emotions/feelings - it is just wrong, at multiple levels. Now, for the feeling wronged, am I seeking anything? May be, I'm. I never really thought that is something I ought to do. But, it has to happen or I had hoped for it. 

Now, what is that I had hoped for? From my point of view, what is the feeling I have? Is it justice or revenge? In a moment of rage, these two feelings can overlap and sometimes they both seem one and the same (at that moment). However, I have seen a definition that clearly differentiated between both. And, they are never the same.

Justice is about harmony (afterwards). Revenge is about one (affected one) making oneself feel better (afterwards).

Thankfully, I have always been speaking of the word - அநீதி. Also, one will seek revenge for their own, right ? Even if I may feel somebody as my own, what right would I have if I was not offered the same feeling of belonging back ? How can I seek revenge, if at all ? Even if I wanted revenge, why would I let go and talk about all other considerations many times before? And let go ?? Having said these, when some can conveniently deny the truth and continue to do so, where will I ever go, if at all ? The thing with truth is - it is same - for everybody. May be, this is the reason why I have always felt uncomfortable/bothered - as truth is covered up somewhere, and I'm part of the truth, my ability to be true, also gets covered up. Anyways, whatever. I didn't need to look at all these subtle layers in the wronged feeling and analyze them but doing it, just so I can be able to clear things for myself, at the very least. But, question remains, is there true sense of harmony - inside? Outside can be faked/time will make it norm but inside pulungifying ? Harmony ?

As this above tweet says, I have always strived to get people to form their own opinion and never forced, at least on important things. Come to think of it, right after my first yes+, I had arranged for my first intro talk at Ascendas in sep 2007 and nothing really came out of it. I never pushed anybody or forced them incessantly. And, participation eventually happened later in 2008 June during Yes+ utsav program. I'm still the same way - have spoken for all sides and consequences, although none had ever spoken for my side or the whole "wronged" side ever. Ever. Manipulation - me? haha. I'm too naive for all these things. I don't know to say one thing at airport and then later completely behave opposite of it when somebody claimed something that whatever didn't like. I'm too naive to shout abuses at somebody - pros - or whatever, that too just after 40 days of whatever crap time spent just coz events are unfolding (sadly so) truly but in a manner they didn't want. It continued to unfold in this manner umpteen times. I'm too naive to wish things like - neenga nimmadhiya irukave vida matten, when somebody took a stand against whatever. Manipulation and me. Haha. I can never pull of such a gruesome thing and not have it shown on my face or not feel guilty/remorseful and let go. Heck, I only know to keep saying you don't owe me anything.

The above is an image from the wonderful movie - moodar koodam - and I would like to use this phrase in my "inequality" post as well. It defines - what is stealing - it is not just the act of taking something inappropriately, it is also the act of preventing somebody from taking what is theirs. How is it applicable here ? Well, do I need to elaborate that as well - the umpteen instances when somebody said about not belonging somewhere - even up to the events in 2010, how did whatever behave ? On top of this, when events were forced and when somebody landed after medication and still under medication, what amorous activities happened ? How ? Really ? Any expression/emotion that originated henceforth - after such an amorous activity - is an insult - to the word genuine itself. To perceive it as genuine.......

Fuck that crap. Fuck that crap. FUCK.THAT.CRAP.

Genuine is letting go and standing helpless despite doing all that can possibly be done. Genuine is letting go even when one can capitalize/manipulate somebody when they had power but choosing to not do that and giving a proper advice, despite it being against one's want. I heard a saying - "fair weather good people" - those who are good only in fair weather. If the weather turns bad, then they also likely turn bad. People's character ought to be judged not when things happen according to their way, but how they are when it didn't. Also, abide, abide, abide/inevitable, sarasari - won't some cells in the body have some indignation or rowthiram or dhariyum or bit of honor to avoid this amorous crap? I wish gazillions of gazillion googol billion crawling kambili poochi on each cell/atom/proton/neutron/electron in the current set up. Patience is not a virtue of whatever when status quo itself is the ideal solution that there is - as any shake up of it will result in jeopardy of status quo. Hence, why will anybody be not patient? If there was genuineness, won't the inner struggles of somebody be not perceptible so far? If perceived, was the true nature understood and the hard choices it warrants, considered and discussed? Or let somebody else struggle and undergo a 'sacrifice' for whatever's sake nu easier "meetings" alone conducted? Why must a sacrifice even be continued if it is well known/realized as sacrifice? Also, when somebody took a stand, instead of ack it, if their stand is threatened saying - neenga nimmadhiyave iruka vida matten, is that genuine ? Chuck me in that neenga - I don't need to be cared for. But what about somebody else that they supposedly SHOW as having feelings love for ? Is that genuine? The answer is obvious - it is never genuine - these are acts of grabbing (stealing) somebody and later trying a hard selling of care and affection to make up for their inability to be genuine. On top of it, unconditional vera ketkadhu - thu.

As the above quote from buddha says, it is hard to keep truth hidden. What is true for me is the fact that I'm forsaken. I have always been forsaken. There was never really a physical presence but what recently happened was the most hardest thing ever - forsaken even from the thought wise. Forsaken is actually a smaller word compared to the hurt. In the past, I could attribute circumstances and others and other reasons for being forsaken but this time, it was not the case and that hurt the most. However, that is the truth. I'm sad coz - there is an innate way to me - enthusiastic, energetic, spark in my eyes, playful etc. On all likelihood, those are my spirit. I always retain them. I feel they may have gone from me and that hurts me :( coz it is so sad, for myself. Anyways, let's see.....is asking for some love to be shown such a bad thing ?

Reality creates it's own truth over time and due to the context. While that aspect of it cannot be denied, reality may not replace or erase certain core aspect of truth, hidden or otherwise. Anyways, while I may appear to have the ability to accommodate many things now, I do have righteous anger and it is not that somebody had not done any mistakes whatsoever. There have been many. It is just the context that forced such a mistake has superseded these mistakes but they are still disgusting as hell. If possible, I will square the kambili poochi count of the above - crawling even for panividai's/inevitable/sarasari/whatever. And square that count with thoughts of me all over. all around. all places. all time. all activities. all situations. in every nanosecond of visual/hearing/feeling/breathing living moments that not a single breath can go in/out without this thought. Always. Enough said. And, I wish/want to show some of my anger but I want to have some rightful context to even express them. Also, for the feeling of amma, ironically, in 2008 Yes+ utsav, Bawa said - "one can absolutely love their parents and completely disobey them". Actually, love and discipline/obeying need not be mutually exclusive, especially in some of the things like study or passion or things like the ones being discussed. Anyways, I was considerate of this aspect as well - only to be like a fool. Even now :D. Nevertheless, timing wise, it is amenable.

Btw, if there are some feelings in aazh manasu, as being claimed, and yet I have felt this way due to truth, what will "mana'saakshi" feel if truth reveals itself in the most honest way in the future? or when manasaatchi keeps searching for the truth? May be this is what I have always been trying to say. Anyways, in the below video of buddha quotes, the aspect of anger and clinging on - is applicable to me. May be. But hey, what am I clinging on if I gave up myself with the request of being true? So may be not. Not sure. 

Is asking for some love to be shown such a bad thing? Anyways, what right do I have or ever had, as is, Who am I to have my feelings matter?

After all this, it is time for one realization. As I had mentioned earlier in this post about forsaken and in my earlier blog - Hurt - too, forsaken is true. I have always been forsaken. Either for convenience/pressure/fear/deceit/lies or what not, the eventual outcome is, I'm forsaken.

Sadly, this time, I chose to do it myself. While all the things I have mentioned above and spoken/asked/demanded remains as is, I don't have the strength to- 

• see somebody struggle/hurt - to live their truth. I still maintain that living the truth, understanding deceit/cheat of whatever and being just/honest is best in everybody interest.
• withstand yet another forsaken/abandonment. It is, as I mentioned above, worse than death.

I still cannot fathom how whatever can have strength to see somebody suffer this loooooonnnnng silently for their deceit/cheat/selfish nature and yet be able to ask for unconditional love and progeny vera. Thuuuuu. 

Adhe vera kudukranga paaru - cha. அழிந்து. கரைந்து. ஒழியட்டும்.

I. DON'T. MATTER. ANYMORE.

I only wish a chance for truth to be true - regardless of weakness or guts or pressure or deceit. This I ask with no concern or regards for I/one. None. Anyways, the above tweets sums it up well - especially, the first tweet and the date/timing of it was a sad prophecy of me, to myself. 

So, I forsake myself.

When I heard this song for the first time (early march), the pain in it hit me hard as the emotions were raw. It is to the director's credit - music & movie director - to have a song on dog with emotions so strong and pure that it can be metaphorically perceived even for a person. Anyways, as I heard this song, instead of focussing just on the pain aspect, my thoughts immediately drifted to the stanza which talks about different kinds of people and the aspect of care that would be expressed in it. I immediately envisioned & applied the 'care' feeling to the people I love/care and I always tend to do it - I put care ahead of pain. However, recent events have shown to me that may be I(one) should care for oneself too. If not always, but occasionally at the very least and especially if there is none to care and even offer (or refuse) a thought/consideration.

Naan Veezhven Endru Ninaithayo

Naan Veezhven Endru Ninaithayo | நான் வீழ்வேனென்று நினைத் தாயோ?

One of the lines of poet Bharathi that always acts a source of courage and valor for me is - நான் வீழ்வேனென்று நினைத் தாயோ? This line is part of the poem Yoga Siddhi and under title Varam kettal (thanks quora for the information) and in the 4th stanza - one of the most well known verses of Bharathi's poems.

தேடிச்சோறு நிதந் தின்று - பல

சின்னஞ் சிறு கதைகள் பேசி - மனம்

வாடித் துன்பமிக வுழன்று - பிறர்

வாடப் பலசெயல்கள் செய்து - நரை

கூடி கிழப்பருவமெய்தி - கொடும்

கூற்றுக் கிரையென பின்மாயும் - பல

வேடிக்கை மனிதரை போலே - நான்

வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத் தாயோ?

I have always been impressed by the defiance in the last line of this stanza - naan veezhven endru ninaithayo? I have drawn strength from these lines since 2004/06 times. Even in 2009, I have posted these lines in my facebook feed as an act of defiance to project a face that I'm not down - despite the tumultuous times. I need these lines now more than ever before with what's happening and also job-wise, it is always good to have the rightful defiance to back oneself - one's true-self.

The above lines became more popular outside the literary world thanks to the climax of the Mahanadhi movie, where Kamal himself will narrate these lines in his own inimitable voice. 
And in an earlier scene (image below), the character played by Kamal would raise a pertinent question - "Oru nallavanuku kedaika vendiya ellam mariyathayum, ketavanuku kedachidudhe. Adhu eppadi ?" Andha mariyadhai and raja vazkai kudukravanga than yosikanum, with an angle of truth, righteousness and nyayam. Nyayame poi ya nyayathukagavum and unmaikagavum eppadi porada mudiyum - only we humans can do.

நின்னைச் சிலவரங்கள் கேட்பேன் - அவை
நேரே இன்றெனக்குத் தருவாய் - என்றன்
முன்னைத் தீயவினைப் பயன்கள் - இன்னும்
மூளா தழிந்திடுதல் வேண்டும் - இனி
என்னைப் புதியவுயி ராக்கி - எனக்
கேதுங் கவலையறச் செய்து - மதி
தன்னை மிகத்தெளிவு செய்து - என்றும்
சந்தோஷங் கொண்டிருக்கச் செய்வாய்...

The scene/poem ends when Kamal character and the poet Bharathi asks - much like "requests" or rather more like demands from amma/god that she fulfills his righteous wishes.

Achcham Thavir

Achcham Thavir | அச்சம் தவிர்

One of the soul stirring & inspiring poem by Mahakavi Bharathi. I have read this before as part of prose but ever since I heard this rendition in the anjathe movie in 2009, I was hooked to it at a different level. It always inspires me and I need the values and virtues of this poem now than ever before.

To listen to this poem in the below voice is giving oneself the boost they need to face the world.

அச்சம் தவிர்   -   நய்யப் புடை

மானம் போற்று  -  ரவுத்திரம் பழகு

ஆண்மை தவறேல்  -    தாழ்ந்து நடவேல்

சூரரை போற்று   -     தீயோர்க்கு அஞ்சேல்

ஓய்தல் ஒழி  -  நேர்பட பேசு

தாழ்ந்து நடவேல்  -  சாவதற்கு அஞ்சேல்

காலம் அழியேல் -   கீழோர்க்கு அஞ்சேல்

போர் தொழில் பழகு  -  தோல்வியில் கலங்கேல்

புதியன விரும்பு  -   வீரியம் பெருக்கு

கெடுப்பது சோர்வு   -   உண்மைக்கு அஞ்சேல்

வெடிப்பற பேசு   -    நன்று கருது

வவ்வுதல் நீக்கு   -   தவத்தினை நிரப்பு நீ

கற்றது ஒழுகு   -   கைத்தொழில் போற்று

சேர்க்கை அழியேல்  -    பேய்களுக்கு அஞ்சேல்

ஞாயிறு போற்று   - மந்திரம் வலிமை

சவுரியம் தகுமே  - நாள் எல்லாம் மெய் செய்

நாள் எல்லாம் மெய் செய்
