Sentiments are never attributed to me and my persona by majority of the people in my inner circle of friends.Other than streaks of smiles during cricket matches and excited screams in the college auditorium I am believed to be lacking in emotions (atleast the girly ones)
Quite on the contrary I am quite the opposite ( fact known by countable dearest buddies ). I am easily affected by words,images and sounds.A small good morning message is enough to make my day.Sight of caught-in-traffic ambulance brings in the tears.Anybody even humming Karthik's songs can cheer me up.
One more trait associated with me is Tamil communication skills or rather the lack of it.In the shortest time of acquaintance it gets questioned by one and all.I get pulled up for hailing from Tamil Nadu and being so lost in Tamil's eloquence.
I hereby declare that I do have a fondness for Tamil and its literature.It is quite not my fault that my vocabulary is found wanting.To prove all this here is a couplet that came tumbling to my mind as soon as I was straight out of bed, few days back.Honestly speaking I was quite taken aback to realize my first thoughts of the day tended to be in poetic and sentimental Tamil.
Un vizhi parvayil,
ennai maranthaen,
unnai unarthaen,
nammai arinthaen
On a more wider perspective I do write poetry on things that affect me.I write from fury at emotions I have bottled up.I write from expressions that are pent up inside me.They always end up either gloomy or philosophical and hence I have always held back from publishing them.Here is one for starters.Maybe I will be more forthcoming in the future...
