ஒரு நண்பனின் பிரிவில்

தொலைதூர இரயிலில் பழகி பழகி
ப்ளாட்பார்மில் கால் வைத்ததும்
மறைந்து போகும் மனிதர்களுக்கு மத்தியில்
இரயிலை வருத்தத்துடன் சுமந்து திரிபவனாய் தானிருப்பேன்
இனி எல்லா பயணங்களிலும்

விரைந்து செல்லும் உன் பயணம்
உன் கனவுகளை நனவாக்கும்
பனிமூட்டம் நிறைந்த இந்நகரைப்போல
என் மனதை ஈரமாக்கியிருந்தாய் இதுவரையில்
இன்று என் கண்களை ஈரமாக்கிவிட்டுச் செல்கிறாய்

தனியாய் சென்ற என் பயணம்
உன் வருகையால் துணை ஒன்றை பெற்றது
இன்றோ மீண்டும் என்னை
தனித்தீவில் இறக்கி விட்டுச் சென்று விட்டாய்

இனிய நினைவுகள் என் வாழ்வில்
மேலும் ஒரு பொக்கிஷம்
வாழ்ந்த நினைவுகள் வளர்ந்து திரும்பும் பேரன்பில்
நம்மை திக்குமுக்காடச் செய்யும்
சந்திப்புகளுக்கு பொக்கே கொடுத்து காத்திருப்போம்

Be a deaf frog

Few days back I was trying out some new things which I never tried before in my life (Don’t ask me what that is though that is a good try). A friend of mine said that why you are unnecessarily dragging you into this and he gave me a lecture for more than an hour (which is so easy for him). After hearing it for an hour I am still continuing in doing that. He got fed up with me and he asked me why can’t you change yourself and live like how you are before. I didn’t utter a word and I was just continuing on what I am doing. He asked me are you dumb? Now I opened my mouth and said ‘I am not dumb but I am deaf’. He stopped giving gyan to me and went off. This incident flashed a small story which I heard long time back from Tamil actor Rajinikanth. The story goes like this:

Once there are three frogs trying to climb a mountain which is of 300 feet high. When they decide they will climb this mountain, some people around the frogs started making fun on those frogs. People were criticizing the frogs and said they can’t return alive back as there will be snakes and lot other in the mountain which will make the frogs as their prey. However the three frogs have started their journey despite of others warnings. They could have gone some 100 feet height and one frog died by felling down from that top. The other two have now started the journey without stopping for it and after reaching 200 feet the another frog also died by falling from the top. However the third frog managed to reach the top without any problems. Everyone at the foot of the mountain started wondering how this frog manage to do it when the other two can’t make it. Finally they came to know that the other two frogs died only because of its fear on what people where saying before they started the journey. So then they thought the third frog has no fear. But the truth is the third frog is actually deaf.

This story always makes me to remember that sometimes you need to be a deaf frog if you want success. There are people who always try to pull your leg or discourage you if you are taking new risks. So ‘Be a deaf frog’ and ‘Success be yours’

I am a practical man

Long time since I myself have the question 'Will people register all their (true) thoughts through their blog'. That’s will they be honest to themselves in writing their own learnings and experiences about life. Let me put it like this. I feel every person will have two faces. One which everyone knows where s/he try to show that s/he is a good human and the other hidden one which nobody knows except that individual. The hidden face is the one which shows the real nature but most of them live with a mask. So will bloggers be true to themselves and I feel 99.99% of them wont. Now you may have a question on which type did I belong. Well to be honest I never been true to my own writings (Sometimes I do say the truth). I came across some article which says even people wont be true on their own personal diary. It needs lot of courage and determination in writing the truth which is becoming a rare extinct and if someone asks why your thoughts in writings are different from what you are really you may get a reply that ‘I am a practical man’.
