Touring Talkies

  Nostalgic touring   Talkies.... Rarely i watch movies in theatres.. after a long gap i went to watch a film in a popular Mall in our place.. there are three theatres in the  Mall... three different movies.. this is new to our home town..  i got into the theatre  and it was deep dark even at the start of the movie. it was too chill and seats all neatly arranged ... and a deadly silence.. i felt i am in a rectangle  wooden box as if frozen..  when i shared it to my daughter  she said.. 'you and your imagination...keep quiet . don't talk now... all are watching us.. 'i looked here and there . even before the film started .they  were glued to the mobile's screen..  i felt i had grown old and outdated not fit for this generation..  why they be so silent and serious to watch a film in a theater to be in such a silence..they can be at home reading a message or a book. I had a flash back ... i ...

Fear to Sad

Image
  After so many years I had a chance to visit a biology lab. It was rather a different day. Once I entered I saw a skeleton wth a big glee.. I remember when I was asked to take a note or something from a biology lab I hardly turn to the side where the skeleton stands. I was so frightened to see it. I shut my eyes when I go near by... But in this middle age my attitude has completely changed . So many thoughts ripple in me. I don't know whether it is a real one may be made of some material but it looked real. I am not a science student . I don't know whether it is a man or woman.. If it were a lady ... how fair she would have been? . Was she with beautiful features ? an eye that was liquid and bright with kajal drawn on it ... was she a girl with curly hair and rosy lips? . But now just a hollow in the eye sockets and a hole in the nose. No lips .. it was an array of teeth.. How she would have been admired by her near and dear..! Or was she an ugly girl who was not cated by ...

Have a cup of coffee.....

HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE..... Early in the morning when I wake up, I badly need a cup of coffee.. I decide to drink 5 cups of water and then start the day . But  the next day  when I get up my decisions go away. I prefer to have a coffee.  Coffee has a lot of things to share . The aroma of coffee and the taste of coffee itself makes one energetic. May be it is a feel of illusion but it has crept in me . Drinking coffee has different styles. Some like bed coffee . Some are particular that they must brush before they drink coffee. They speak about microorganisms in the empty mouth . Many may not agree but this for a few .. if  your brush up your taste buds become numb for a second which will not allow you to enjoy the taste of a complete coffee.  Agree? During those days when we were kids I remember going to the shop in the village to buy coffe villais . Yes it looks like  hardened chocolates of Diary milk chocolates . My grandma use to put those villais in hot w...

The space

The Space.... Over the years relationship and family bonding have taken various dimensions . Time is the main factor...  Technology is  another..    There was a time when everyone were together in a single house with the eldest being the Head and everyone obeying his orders.He was the Moothapillai or Karanavar ..The whole expenditure was looked after by him and there were paddy coconuts, tamarind plantain fruits and domestic vegetables grown in the cultivable land .         Education brought  better job opportunities and most of them  were  governent jobs.   Transfer of job made people move  from their native  villages. Most of the elder  brothers took the family responsibilty.Holidays were most awaited .. All meeting during a family function or a temple celebration..       The fast moving world has now made people move to Cosmopolitan cities..     The software companies made accesib...

Zooming out..

  Covid 19 has made the world topsy turvy..Economy has leaked out of the treasury of industries and investments are stunned without returns.Education is the next phase of question mark .. ???The schools and colleges are locked down and many have been turned quarentine space for the suspected .. When will the schools reopen? when willthe colleges function? Every authorities' hands are tied up because we cannot predict when things will be normal.   Holiday is always a happiness for everyone. But eveyone are fed up locked at home. Many schools and colleges have started online classes. Parents were first happy that the children  will start to learn from home..But days passed and now it is difficult for them to make the load of assignments given to them..   Teachers are still at bay.most of our teachers in normal schools still follow the black board teaching and smart schools were mushrooming slowly.It helped them to support and improve the quality of education ...

Angels round the clock

Angels.. Round the clock Appreciate Ananda Vikatan  that has honoured  the role of nurses in this period  of taking care of the corona patients..          The tough times they  face while handling the patients who are physically at the edge of danger and mentally obsessed by loneliness and frustration is not so easy.        The dress they wear is so sultry and they are so heavily packed and they are not supposed  to wipe of the sweat for fear of touch and they have to remain hours  together  without  water nor answer the natures call..         Anytime  they are prone to catch the contagious disease and they are people who have to support the patients in every way.. Just can't imagine.         Locked down at house we are not able to tolerate the children who are with us. We become impatient with people with us..   But here is a pe...

I tasted this on a celebration...         i sipped it  drop by drop this golden liquid..         Made my stomach burn and my face scorn       but still  it was thrusted by my  friends...                 I began to like this soar taste       the pain that it made  on haste       with nuts and sweets i taste       making my  life a damn waste                  I started devour it in celebrations          I tasted it  alsoin frustrations          I began to devour me         and it began it devour it Now I lie in a sunken bed.. Thrown away  for the day to be dead BEWARE OF ALCHOHOL. The venom that kills even snakes...
