"How Can you prevent a drop of water from ever drying up?"

"By throwing it into the sea ......"

If its my way then its High way ......

Life teaches you so much when you are on your way.

Its such a great feeling to be just you, deserted road ahead of you because you have chosen the less traveled path, mile stones all along the way reminding that the destination never ends, unexpected shower drenching you to core making you feel the chillness, scorching sunlight burning you down reminding that we are just helpless in front of nature, occasional cool breeze bringing the joy within you when you have offered less resistance to it and on and on.

Life teaches you so much when you are on highway, its like reading those spiritual holy books :) which assures you to teach on how to live. But here the results are always guaranteed.

If i am given an option to choose my way then its always the HIGHWAY.

My new blog for my new found love :)

My love for Bharathi ....

I am kind of moved by his poems. He is kind of person whom you can't categorize into one particular segment and who has lived life to the fullest. His words are so powerful and thought provoking.

There lies no subject untouched and every situations we encounter in our life. His poems are like a life guide to anyone and i always wonder how can he write on so many subjects when he has hardly lived for just 38 years. But when you read his poems, his words are of a person who has lived for more than a century.

This lines are one of my favorites.

அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை (பண்டாரப் பாட்டு)

அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
இச்சகத்துளோர் எல்லாம் எதிர்த்து நின்ற போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
துச்சமாக எண்ணி நம்மைத் தூறு செய்த போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
பிச்சை வாங்கி உண்ணும் வாழ்க்கை பெற்று விட்ட போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
இச்சை கொண்ட பொருளெலாம் இழந்துவிட்ட போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
கச்சணிந்த கொங்கை மாந்தர் கண்கள் வீசும் போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
நச்சை வாயிலே கொணர்ந்து நண்பரூட்டும் போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
பச்சை யூனியைந்த வேற்படைகள் வந்த போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
உச்சி மீது வானிடிந்து வீழூகின்ற போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
