என்னில்

இசைதரும் அமைதியில்
தமிழென்னும் அமிழ்தினில்

கவிதையின் சுவையினில்
குழந்தையின் சிரிப்பினில்

மழலையின் அர்த்தத்தில்
மெளனத்தின் சத்தத்தில்

பூக்களின் இதழ்களில்
பூமியின் இயக்கத்தில்

குழலின் இன்னிசையில்
குறளின் இல்லறத்தில்

கடல்களின் சீற்றத்தில்
இயற்க்கையின் தோற்றத்தில்

தோழமையின் மகிழ்ச்சியில்
தனிமையின் வீழ்ச்சியில்

கடந்தகால நிகழ்வுகளில்
எதிர்கால கனவுகளில்

விடியாத இரவுகளில்
தூங்காத விழிகளில்

உந்தன் நினைவுகளே
தவழுமென் மனதில்.

Law of Nature or Law of the Land?

Nature endowed fruits with great taste and nutrition, so that the animals that feed on them inadvertently help propagate the species by dropping the inedible seeds in a different place. But in a city where littering is a punishable offense, maybe with fines or community service, I often run into this quagmire - when eating fruits !

I buy my daily serving of 'fresh' cut fruit (coming straight from the refrigerator) and walk back to office passing by a long stretch of land with lots of soil and vegetation.

So is it right to launch the seed in some random direction in that area or drop it in the nearest rubbish bin ? I usually end up on nature's side. How about you ?

Quotable quotes

The quotes which appeal to you the most, happen to be the ones whose idea have always been hovering in your mindspace, but somebody beat you in saying it out with just the right words !

Example:
"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing,
wind braces us up, and snow is exhilarating;
there is really no such thing as bad weather,
only different kinds of good weather."
-John Ruskin (1819-1900)

The 5 second coma

The momentary glitch in the power coils of the brain, commonly experienced during trainings, presentations or seminars, leading to an increased perception of gravity in the head, followed by symptoms like a transcient blackout, loss of bloodsupply to the eyes, an invincible downward force on the eye-lids and a complete loss of consciousness, just when involuntary reflex action is needed to bring back the drooping head back to its default vertical position after about 5 seconds of uninterrupted bliss, despite the apparent danger of the condition which could degrade to longer timed comatose states, depending upon the relative score of the presenter on the SYS (Stretchy Yawn Scale) used to measure boredom.

Originally scribbled on the notepad during such a presentation to avoid getting the above symptom ! Due to some unexplained reason didnt feel the need to write shorter sentences..
