அத்தியாயங்கள்

சில நேரங்களில் எனை மறந்த
மனிதரின் முகம் கடந்த
உணர்வுகளின் பின் தொடர்ந்த
வாழ்வின் ஓர் அத்தியாயம் முடிவுறுகிறது

இயற்கை மேல் காதல் கொண்ட
இதயம் சுக்கு நூறாக, வெடித்த
நிமிடங்களில் எல்லாம் மறைந்த
வாழ்வின் ஓர் அத்தியாயம் முடிவுறுகிறது

தூக்கத்தின் கனத்தில் கண்கள் மூடி
எதுவுமில்லா எண்ணங்களை மொழிபெயர்த்து
கண நேரத்தில் உணர்வுகளைக் கோர்க்கும் தருணத்தில்
வாழ்வின் ஓர் அத்தியாயம் முடிவுறுகிறது

கடந்த காலத்தை அசை போட்டு
நிகழ்காலத்தில் மனிதத்தைக் களைந்து
எதிர்காலத்தின் மீது அவநம்பிக்கை கொண்ட
வாழ்வின் ஓர் அத்தியாயம் முடிவுறுகிறது

In a Lonely Place (1950)

" 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.
