பொய்மையும் வாய்மையிடத்து

ஆண்கள் எங்கு வித விதமாய்  பொய் சொல்கிறோம். அழகி !! அழகி!! அழகி!! என்ற ஒரு பொய்யை மட்டும் தான் வித விதமாய் சொல்லிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறோம். ஏன் இந்தப் பொய் கேட்டு மட்டும் பெண்களுக்கு சலிப்பதே இல்லை ? 🙊

Mind Voice - அவசரப்பட்டு ஆண்களின் கம்பெனி ரகசியத்த வெளியில் சொல்லி விட்டோமா 🤣

Cute Song

 
In the royal palanquin of the full moon which oozes milk
hey, adorable pearl who waits, aren’t you mine?

To pinch and hurt the blossoming bud of smile

hey new moonbeam whose fingers throb, don’t whine!

The lamp of eyes which lighted on its own, to let it extinguish slowly,

let the darkness cover under the shade of a cloud,

on the step of a dream, when we rise on rainbow wings

On the glass earring which tickles the ear softly

a tremulous magical sound note woken up by a soft chant

Searching for a crore of sunbeam drops, come to fly up in the clear sky

when we get drenched softly in the fragrant rain that winter pours

Poetic Lyrics

மைனாக்கள் கவிதைகள் பாடுகின்றன

தாழைமடல்கள் ஆனந்த நடனமிடுகின்றன

கனவுகளெல்லாம் கதிராக

என்றும் என் துணைவியாக

வரமளிப்பவளே, நீ அனுமதியளிக்க மாட்டாயா?

நீ அனுமதியளிக்க மாட்டாயா? 

காதல்கொண்டவளே இதோ

என் இதயத்தில் விரிந்த மலர்கள்

ஒரு ராக மாலையாக இதை

உன் உயிரில் அணிவாயாக

அணிவாயாக விழைவின் முழுநிலவே!

ஏரியின் காலைக் கீதங்களை

கேட்கும் இந்த பனிமுகில்கள்

நிறம் பூசிய மேடையில்

குளிர் அலையும் சுபவேளையில்

பிரியமானவளே! என் மோகத்தை நீ அறிந்தாய்

என் மோகத்தை நீ அறிந்தாய்

2K Kids

I understand the animosity 90's kids have toward 2k kids. Yes! Growing up, we did not have access to the same opportunities they do now. The fact is, every new generation will have better opportunities than the one before it. Our opportunities were better than those of 80's kids. So let's be gentle. என் பின்னவன் பெற்ற செல்வம் அடியனேன் பெற்றது அன்றோ?

In the same way, every generation will have its own challenges that the older generation didn't face. In their early teens, 90's kids didn't have social media accounts. The trend became popular during our late teens. But, 2K kids grew up with social media, so they have more insecurities and peer pressure. Several pieces of research suggest depression rates are soaring among kids as young as 12 and young adults. Let's be more compassionate towards them as well.

Natchathiram Nagargiradhu - A film I can't stop watching

I recently watched Natchathiram Nagargiradhu. It is a wonderfully woven film by director Pa. Ranjith. The kind of film that turns a new leaf in 21st-century Tamil filmmaking. I could say without any doubt it is simply the best Tamil movie of the year. Pa. Ranjith's films always portray strong female characters. This film's "Rene” character is yet another wonderful addition to the list. It is a film with so many layers and subtle nuances providing deeper perspectives on the topics of love, art, politics, gender, sexuality and tradition. Let's look at a few scenes from the film to give you a taste of what's in store in the film.

Typical male psychology is perfectly captured by the two male protagonist's performances in the film. For example, let's take the following scene. In this scene, Iniyan starts to proudly brag about his first kiss with his ex, and then his face changes when Rene says she had previous relationships too. He doesn't want to believe it; keeps asking her whether it is true. Then he asks her about her past sexual history and he is completely upset when he gets to know she had slept with someone even though he had slept with other girls before.

This is something I have been continuously telling my friends, "If you are concerned about the past relationships or sexual experience of your partner, it just shows that you have deep insecurities about yourself or you have a very fragile ego. Don't blame and shame them for your issues.

Throughout the film, there were strong Buddhist references. For example, in the shot where Rene gives Arjun another chance for redemption, she is seated very similar to Green Tara (the female Buddha in Mahayana Buddhism).

Again in the following scene where Rene leads Arjun out. The picturization hints that she is opening a new door and walking him out from darkness into light. There is a Buddha painting on the entrance door too, hinting he is walking out as an enlighted man.

Rene leading the men in her life towards the light from darkness is a recurrent theme in the film. This is beautifully portrayed in the following scene as well, where she leads Iniyan upstairs from darkness into light.

I would love to have a daughter like Rene 😍💖

She is just perfect 😍

Why would someone use verses of love poems from Tamil Sangam literature written two millenniums ago in a movie that discusses the issues of contemporary love? That question is the key to understanding this scene which tries to convey a deep underlying fact. The director hints that despite all the complexities of modern love, the emotions involved in love remain the same regardless of time. What a filmmaker Pa. Ranjith is. Take a bow man. Such a poetic scene.

யாரினும் இனியன் பேரன்பினனே (குறுந்தொகை 85)

சாதல் அஞ்சேன்; அஞ்சுவல், சாவின்

பிறப்புப் பிறிது ஆகுவது ஆயின், 

மறக்குவேன் கொல், என் காதலன் எனவே. (நற்றிணை 397)

பொருள் -

தலைவன் மிகவும் இனிமையானவன். அவன் உன்மீது மிகுந்த அன்புடையவன். இறப்புக்கு அஞ்சேன்; இறந்து போனால் நேரும் மறுபிறப்பில் என் காதலனை மறந்துவிட நேருமோ என்றே அஞ்சுகிறேன்.

Rene !! Rene !! Rene !!
