Yeh Dooriyan...

Someone is going to come this way one day,
I know that.
A dear one will come this way is what I always wish for,
Even now, it's what I hope for today.

Many a time has the season of flowers lost it's way...
... There are no flowers in the mango tree branches...
For that alone there should be a season when it blooms.

I know there's no one to come yet I wait at the door...
Without knowing for whom it is, I wait inside the door expectantly
I wait expectantly...
A person dear to me will come is what I wish for always...

With promises to meet again,
He left me...
I knew he would not come...
But I stand at the main door regularly, waiting for him.
A person dear to me will come.
At the door like a statue I wait hoping you will come.

Unexpectedly, I felt that I heard someone's footsteps.
The spring should bring something and remain forever.
If it should bring something...
At times, I run with hope on to the path with eager eyes...
... Someone who lost his way has come and gone...
... Comes and goes back...
... Comes and goes back ...

Book Review: Mrityunjaya

Mrityunjaya: Book: Mrityunjaya Author: Shivaji Sawant Pages: 628 ISBN:  7421-0105 It is often said that the books of our childhood offer a vivid door to our own pasts, and not necessarily for the stories we read there, but for the memories of where we were and who we were when we were reading them; to remember a book is to remember the child who read that book. The timelessness of the epic is witnessed as we continue to name our children after various characters in the Mahabharata. The brave feats of the epic’s warriors still continue to shape our dreams and inspire our films. The Marathi novel "Mrityunjaya" is a classic novel written by Shivaji Sawant on the life of Karna, the greatest tragic hero in Indian history. Despite being dedicated to the life and times of the benign hero, it highlights significant characters from the Mahabharata and also a socio-political frame of the time. To begin with, Karna is the eldest son of the Pandava queen Kunti and Surya, t

Book Review: Mahabharata

Publisher: Penguin Author: R.K. Narayan Pages: 208 ISBN: 9780141185002  The Mahabharata is some 3500 years old and is the longest epic poem in existence. As one of the founding epics of Indian culture, it is also a highly dramatic and enthralling story. Growing from an oral tradition of ballads based on historic events in India, the Mahabharata was passed down and extended through the centuries, thus becoming the longest poem ever written. One of the many narratives about the Mahabharata is by R.K. Narayan. His version provides a superb rendition in an abbreviated and elegant retelling of the greatest epic.  The Mahabharata is Hinduism's great epic story. It may be the oldest written story in the world, and certainly the longest . It tells the tale of kings and queens, gods and demons. It goes off on tangents lasting hundreds of pages, yet always comes back to the one main story, the story of the Kauravas and the Pandavas, the two great warrior clans, and the men and wo

Movie Review: Mazha

By -
I suddenly developed an urge to watch movies which were centered around rains. We in Bombay were really deprived of rains for nearly half a month in June and I literally started praying that it should rain. Thankfully, it did. Since rains are always dampeners, as they just don't allow one to do anything else, I plunked myself on the couch to watch a Malayalam movie--after a lot of channel surfing (that included the Hindi ones too) and finally I chose the best movie--Mazha. The title of this movie, "Mazha" means rain in Malayalam. The film is based on a novel, "Nashtapetta Neelambari" by the controversial Malayalam writer Kamala Das or Madhavikutty. The name for the novel was taken from the ragam, "Neelambari" which is the favourite ragam of the female protagonist of the novel. The movie begins with teenager Subhadra (Samyuktha Varma) getting infatuated with her music teacher Ramanujam Sastrigal (Biju Menon). Her creative talents for poetry start to flo
