Under the umbrella

A poem on rain because like all, I love rain. That's not all, the connection i feel with rain is just impeccable. After all my name means RAIN :D



Its under the umbrella for a reason. It signifies my point of view and not the rain's point of view and hence from under the umbrella my voice.



Why the umbrella, you might ask, for me an umbrella made more sense than a raincoat. Now for the main stuff the poem:


The heart wanders like a kite,
Stuck in cool breeze,
Awaiting the clouds might,
Swaying along with the trees.



Smile approaches ones face,
For waiting long in grilling heat.
The drizzle builds up its pace,
As the heart skips its beat.



The then calm breeze turns intense,
As the sky lights up its lamp,
The twinkle of the eye, hence
the wind, oh so damp.


Raindrops trickle down my window pane,
escorted by the smell of mud and specks of water,
All representing hope and humane,
the reasons for ringing laughter.


Puddles of water struck by ripples,
formed by the ongoing phenomenon, rain-
and as the bliss doubles,
all there is left is gain.


Dribble of rain forms a rhythm,
As it flows to join the river,
Instills a sense of freedom-
A lesson learnt from the shower.




At the end, the river trickles down to the sea,
Down the tree trunks, off the leaves,
Down the mountain, spreading glee.
A beautiful picture it does weave.



The journey of the rain is to be remembered,
right from the cloud to the ground
for my heart, it has conquered,
With the beating of a new life it had found.

Birds- the fearless flight

Bird! I don't mean the Angry Bird :
Or Twitter bird thing.


I mean the real bird. the ones you can see in the sky. Not through the phone and laptop, computer or whatever shit thing you have.

Remember those thing which fly. yes that.
A poem, a tribute, more of a poem to those things that fly.

Soaring with the wind across the sky,
Swiftly and elegant, you do fly.
Blazing are the colours of your feather,
With which you hug, Oh caring mother.

Missing the hunter's bullet, you seem fearless,
Which in you I do admire, must confess.
Gliding in the sky side by side,
You flock together like maids behind a bride.

(for those who couldn't imagine the bride part here is the photo to help :P )

Sadly you do suffer due to pollution,
With no place left than the ocean.
People feel you are wild yet free,
But here you are homeless without a tree.

( I'm putting this photo up because i want to):

You do seem to be graceful and wild,
but in real, oh so mild.
Grace, you do all to mother nature,
Without you is there a future?

'Why this Kolaveri di' to why this kolaveri di?

Kolaveri.
One word I as a tamizhan have been using all my life now.
Usually to portray the feeling of backstabbing and rage, now is a national rage. The song is MASS, says everyone. I like it too. for that matter two months before the official release, thanks to my brother i heard it when it leaked in the net. I said WHY THIS KOLAVERI when my brother refused to let me go without hearing the whole song. Didn't like it.
second time. Didn't like it.
third time still didn't like it.
FOURTH TIME. Viola! Loved it. It must be jinxed.
And then i heard it for days to go. without a break and till three weeks it got boring.
It still is namma song (our song). Tamizhan da!. Its kind of nice when i hear a few certain north Indians pronouncing the Tamil words hear and there and trying to ding the aalap in the end. How ever bored i am of the song it still doesn't hurt to hear it once a day and that for a song is actually pretty good. I still love it nevertheless. Proof me blogging about it.




Inset : Dhanush (black shirt), Shruti haasan (actress) and Anirudh Ravichander (blue shirt).

The fact that Dhanush sang the song makes me want to listen to it just one more time and the other fact that the music director Anirudh Ravichander studied in my school just tops that.
The language, english helps it cross boundaries. Like all Dhanush songs this too has stuck the cord.
There may be the female version to it. Sonu nigam's son Neevan singing it ( SUCH a CUTIE PIE ), the japanese weirdo dancing for it, hitler getting angry for it, Sharad Pawar SLAP song, exam verion, marathi version, mamma vandhu paadungo version and even the chipmunk version but the orginal beats all.

People saying 'Babbbbaa' for Mamma ( refers to uncle, but used as Buddy too)
and for pa pa pa pa. baaau bau bau bau bam . Beats me.
My favourite part in the song:

the pa pa pa pa! pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa! part

AND

Empty life-u girl-u come-u
Life-u reverse-u gear-u!.

For the people who haven't heard it yet. *GASPS*
Hear it now :): LINKING YOU,

Treble talks.

And this was a flop song. Soup song for soup boys alright.
