மழை

கடந்த கால அசரீரிகள்
அழிந்து போன கால் தடங்கள்
மறைந்து போன மனப் படிமங்கள்
தீக்கிரையான கனவுகள்
- நான் என் மழைக்குக் காத்திருக்கிறேன்

வெறிச்சோடிய பார்வையில் விரிந்து செல்லும் சமவெளி
விரக்தியில் ஓயாத வார்த்தைகளில்
வருங்கால அச்சம் கொண்ட சாபங்களில்
தொலைந்த வருடங்களை எண்ணி
- நான் என் மழைக்குக் காத்திருக்கிறேன்

மரங்கள் முணுமுணுக்கும்
மாலைப்பொழுதில்
அலைகள் ஓய்கின்றன
ஆளில்லா கடற்கரைகளில்
வானம் விடைபெற்று கண்ணீர் வடிக்கிறது

இது என் மழை
எனக்கே எனக்கான மழை
என் காதல், என் நட்பு
மழையின் தாளத்தில் மனம் லயிக்கிறது...

In a Lonely Place (1950)

Image
" When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate " I was never a fan of Humphrey Bogart. Even though Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon are two of my favourites, Bogey never made an impression on me, until, I watched " In a Lonely Place ". Nicholas Ray and Bogey create a most memorable character in Dix Steele, a disillusioned screenwriter, whose short temper and arrogance have made him an outsider in Hollywood. He has not written a hit since before the war, but Dix refuses to work on mundane projects. His agent secures Dix a job of adapting a bestseller, but Dix invites hatcheck girl Mildred Atkinson over to his house to tell him the story (which she considers an epic). Next day, Dix is taken to the police station (by his friend and Det. Sgt. Brub Nicolai) where he finds out he is the prime suspect as Mildred was murdered during the night, af...

Endhiran (2010)

The day was finally set. I was going to watch "Endhiran", the most expensive Indian movie ever made. The "Avatar" of India, the posters claimed. I will admit upfront, I am not a huge fan of either Shankar or Rajinikanth, but there was a glimmer of hope as it was a screenplay by the late Sujatha, a true technocrat whose books and prose I have cherished over the years (would he have coined the term "Robo Sapiens"?). As Sujatha had passed away during the pre-production of the movie, I was well aware that the screenplay would have been completed by Shankar (Madhan Karky is also credited as a co-script writer). The initial reviews had lauded the movie claiming it to be a benchmark in Indian cinema and how Indian cinema has improved by leaps and bounds and how the movie will stand up to any Hollywood production of recent years. The movie proved be a huge disappointment (except a few scenes) and it also proved the fact that without a cohesive screenplay, any movi...

A Touch of Lust

Tender love is lost only the existence of lust the animal awakens to the sounds of nature I repeat the mantra of lust as I cleanse myself - of pure love - of tenderness The fairytales of purity hidden in the lecherous utopia the longing for you stokes the carnal fire as the soul freezes within The fire, the fire in which I lose my will; the fire in which I lose my innocence The lightning struck this lovelorn fool this brutal truth I understood naivety is the first stage of love My heart; the stone that should have been sculpted by the tools of time does not exist scorched remains left behind... A note: this was my first attempt at writing, something. I would like to write a book but I always feel inexperienced or find it really difficult especially when iCynic (version 30.0) lurks in the background, smirking. Dedication and fervour and most of all time is needed. I will strive for the best and your comments would be most welcome.
