a poem by my friend

nagarkoil saalaiyil perunthu poi kondu irrukka...
lesana thooral,
chillendru saaral,
vaanuyarntha selipaana marangal,
mazhai thuligalaal nanaintha pachai nira malai prathesangal.
siru oodaiyil mazhai neer ooda
saalaiyai pol yen manathu muzhuvathum eeram.
pokkuvarathu nerisalaal
perunthu oor idathil ninrathu
perunthil podapatta paadalai
rasitha padiye
jannilin vazhiye yetti paarthen
siru siru koorai veedugal
siriya kadaigal therinthathu
oru veetin vaasalil
oru sinna pen ninraal
theiveega mugam
naan paarthen
theivam ayyirtre...
naan paarpathu therinthu
avalum paarthaal.
amaithiyaaga ninraal.
asaiyakooda villai.
naan paarthukonde irrunthen...
oriru nimidangal kandanthathu
perunthu mella nagarnthathu
antha pennum mella yennai nokki narnthaal
perunthu vegaithai pidikka
avalum vegamaaga oodi vanthu
kaattril parakka vittaal...
avalathu muththamenum anbai..
perunthu thiruvananthapurathirkku
merkkaale sella
yen uyir mattum
kizhakkaale senrathu
Anbudan,
Ramesh.

Ramesh is my colleague. Not sure whether neo will understand the poem. And hes writing about his real experience. I always had this notion that tamil people are more romantic, and cant get a cooler proof for that. And the language is also very beautiful.

i did expect that from you. but then i had a little belief that you learnt tamil in 1 and a half years of life in chennai. belief was proved wrong. :)

Of all things you only focussed on the 'thooral'.
You are so full of shit, that shit is all you see!
