Happy Friendship Day!

 

Friendship isn't "I promise to care until i stop caring about you".
It's "I promise to make a conscious decision to continue to care about you even when you make it really difficult. Because i'm aware no one is perfect, but you are worth it coz you are my friend.
Happy Friendship Day, may our beautiful bond last forever and ever!

~ Reason ~

Q: What do you want from me?

A:
I want your restless days
The days you complain about
The days you wish you could fast forward
Let me fill them with hopes and dreams
And make you wish it never ends

I want your sleepless nights,
your frustrations and your regrets
Let me take it from you
and give you peaceful sleep in return.

I want the pain you carry around like a cross
The pain you so brilliantly conceal from others
The pain I feel in your words and in your silence
Let me take it from you,  

and overwhelm you with happiness in return.

I want your broken pieces
The ones scattered all over the place
waiting to be picked up
Let me glue it back with much care and love
so you never feel broken again.

Soon you'll realize there is nothing left
for you to worry about, 
Because I'd have taken it all from you.
And when you finally overcome all your worries
you may not like me anymore
For people seldom care about the souls
who are broken and lost.

I'll end this rant with few more lines
So hear it when I say this to you
Even if everything fails, and you still remain the same

 I'd still care about you, perhaps even more

For as long as I'm alive,
you'll never be left alone. 

PS: thank you for making me write down my thoughts.

മഴയുടെയരികെ....പതിയെയിരുന്നൊരു

പഴകിയ ഈണം മൂളാം..

മഴയുടെയരികെ....പതിയെയിരുന്നൊരു

പഴകിയ ഈണം മൂളാം..

മദകരമാമീയോർമ്മകൾ... നനയുമീ നിമിഷങ്ങളിൽ!

മഴയുടെയരികെ....പതിയെയിരുന്നൊരു

പഴകിയ ഈണം മൂളാം..

~!~

ഒരു വേനലിൻ നേർത്ത സന്ധ്യയിൽ,

വിരലുകൾ തിരയാത്ത കൗതുകം,

ഇമകളിൽ മെല്ലെയൊതുക്കിയോ  നീ?

ഇലകളിലുതിരാ തുഷാരമായോ?....

~!~

അതിലോലമീ..മൂകയാമമോ...

ഒരു മഴയോർമ്മതൻ നോവുപോൽ....

അകലെ നിലാപ്പൂക്കൾ പാതിരാവിൻ... 

പടവിതിലാരെ പകുത്തു വെച്ചു?

~!~

മഴയുടെയരികെ....പതിയെയിരുന്നൊരു

പഴകിയ ഈണം മൂളാം..

മഴയുടെയരികെ....പതിയെയിരുന്നൊരു

പഴകിയ ഈണം മൂളാം..

മദകരമാമീയോർമ്മകൾ...നനയുമീ നിമിഷങ്ങളിൽ!

മഴയുടെയരികെ.....പതിയെയിരുന്നൊരു

പഴകിയ ഈണം...മൂളാം..

Hey Alexa!

 

"Alexa...What is the distance between Los Angeles and Kochi?"

Alexa assumed she asked about the distance between LAX to COK.
Fair enough, she thought.
Flying is the fastest option to get there anyway..
Alexa replied, 9246 miles.
Approximately 14879.995  kilometers.
21 hours and 45 minutes of non stop flight time.
And she felt the impact of "time and distance" for the very first time in 19 yrs! 
Indeed, Los Angeles and Kochi were oceans apart!
Unknown sadness filled around her but she wanted to snap out of it sooner.
"Hey Alexa", she said and asked to play her favorite song from YouTube.
Alexa obliged, the music flowed and his heavenly voice drowned every other noise around her. 
His songs were her refuge & she smiled again. 

നിന്നോടെനിയ്ക്കുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം...

നിന്നോടുള്ള ഇഷ്ടമത്രയും മനസ്സിൽ തിങ്ങിനിറഞ്ഞു വാക്കുകളായി പെയ്തിറങ്ങി...പാതി പറഞ്ഞും ഏറെ പറയാതെയും ഇനിയും എന്തൊക്കെയോ പറയാൻ ബാക്കിവച്ചും...
 Nuvvem maaya chesaavo? Idantha neevalle!! 😍

നിന്നോടെനിയ്ക്കുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം.....

നിർത്താതെ പെയ്യുന്ന മഴയോടുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം

കാഴ്ച മറയ്ക്കുന്ന കോടമഞ്ഞിനോടുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം

ഉദിച്ചുയരുന്ന, കത്തിയമർന്നു കടലിൽ താഴുന്ന സൂര്യനോടുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം

കാത്തിരുന്നു കാണുന്ന പൂർണ്ണചന്ദ്രനോടുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം

നിന്നെപ്പോലെ അലഞ്ഞു തിരിയുന്ന മേഘങ്ങളോടുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം

ചിത്ര പൗർണമി - ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല

The only malayalam song which comes to mind during every Onam, no its not the one you guessed. This song is from the album Chithra Pournami, Lyrics by O N V Kurup, music by Sharreth and sung by K S Chithra. Thanks to Kiranz for sharing the album image.

Heard this song when it was released in 1995 and it stayed in mind eversince. Thought of sharing it here since i couldnt find the lyrics online.

ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല
പൊന്നോണ പൂക്കൾ വന്നെതിരേറ്റില്ല...
ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല
പൊന്നോണ പൂക്കൾ വന്നെതിരേറ്റില്ല...
കിളി പാടീലാ .. തെന്നൽ കുളിരാടീലാ...
കളിയൂഞ്ഞാൽ പടിയിൽ ഞാൻ കാതോർത്തിരുന്നു...
വെറുതെ...വെറുതെ...വെറുതെ.....
ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല
പൊന്നോണ പൂക്കൾ വന്നെതിരേറ്റില്ല...

തെങ്ങിളം നീരിന്റെ പാൽക്കുടവും
നല്ല തെച്ചി മലർ പെറ്റ തേൻ പഴവും
ആവണി പുന്നെല്ലിൻ പൊന്നവിലും
ചേലിൽ ആയിരപ്പറകൊള്ളും തുമ്പമുത്തും
കാണിക്ക വയ്ക്കാൻ ഒരുക്കിവയ്ച്ചു
എന്റെ മാണിക്യ കുയിലെന്തേ വന്നില്ല
എന്റെ മാണിക്യ കുയിലെന്തേ വന്നില്ലാ ...ആ...ആ...
ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല
പൊന്നോണ പൂക്കൾ വന്നെതിരേറ്റില്ല...

തടുക്കിട്ടു തടുക്കിന്മേൽ പൂവിരിച്ചു
നിലവിളക്കിന്മേൽ കർപ്പൂര തിരി തെളിച്ചു
വടുക്കത്തെ കിളിച്ചുണ്ടൻ മാമ്പഴവും
നിനക്കിഷ്ടമാണെന്നോർത്തെടുത്തു വയ്ച്ചു
പാവക്കിനാവുകൾ പങ്കുവയ്ക്കാൻ
നെറ്റി പൂവുള്ള കുയിലേ നീ വന്നില്ല
നെറ്റി പൂവുള്ള കുയിലേ നീ വന്നില്ല ...ആ...ആ...

ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല
പൊന്നോണ പൂക്കൾ വന്നെതിരേറ്റില്ല...
ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല
പൊന്നോണ പൂക്കൾ വന്നെതിരേറ്റില്ല...
കിളി പാടീലാ .. തെന്നൽ കുളിരാടീലാ...
കളിയൂഞ്ഞാൽ പടിയിൽ ഞാൻ കാതോർത്തിരുന്നു...
വെറുതെ...വെറുതെ...വെറുതെ.....
ചന്ദന മെതിയടി ഒച്ചയും കേട്ടില്ല
പൊന്നോണ പൂക്കൾ വന്നെതിരേറ്റില്ല...

Saved by a song! കരിനീല കണ്ണുള്ള പെണ്ണേ...

Heard this song for the very first time on an unfortunate night when the whole world came crashing down  and i turned to music, for one last time.  i'll forever be indebted to you and of course to music, my last refuge! 

Original Song Credits : 

Album: Madhurageethangal Vol 1 (1970)

Music Director:V Dakshinamoorthu 

Lyricist: Sreekumaran Thampi

Singer: K J Yesudas
 

കരിനീലക്കണ്ണുള്ള പെണ്ണേ
നിന്റെ കവിളത്തു ഞാനൊന്ന് നുള്ളി..
അറിയാത്ത ഭാഷയിലെന്തോ..
കുളിരളകങ്ങൾ എന്നോടു ചൊല്ലി...
കരിനീലക്കണ്ണുള്ള പെണ്ണേ...

(MUSIC)

ഒരു കൊച്ചു സന്ധ്യുയുദിച്ചു ..
മലർക്കവിളിൽ.. ഞാൻ കോരിത്തരിച്ചു
കരിനീലക്കണ്ണു നനഞ്ഞു ..
എന്റെ കരളിലെക്കിളിയും കരഞ്ഞു
കരിനീലക്കണ്ണുള്ള പെണ്ണേ ...

(MUSIC)

ഒരു ദു:ഖരാത്രിയിൽ നീയെൻ 
രഥമൊരു മണൽക്കാട്ടിൽ വെടിഞ്ഞു
അതു കഴിഞ്ഞോമനെ നിന്നിൽ..
പുത്തൻ അനുരാഗ സന്ധ്യകൾ പൂത്തു...

കരിനീലക്കണ്ണുള്ള പെണ്ണേ
നിന്റെ കവിളത്തു ഞാനൊന്ന് നുള്ളി...

DIY Photoprojects - Sunset through the rain

Click the image to enlarge



When i saw the setting sun through the sliding glass door covered with rain drops on my patio, i could sense a wonderful photo op presenting itself. I would call this a photographer's delight in a week where the Southland is being soaked by series of heavy winter storms.

I've had several people appreciate this image so i figured I'll post a tutorial on creating this image without the main element 'rain' by replacing it with an alternate way to create the effect. Although i shot this image with my point and shoot Olympus C750UZ, I'm sure you'll get better results with an SLR or a DSLR.

Apart from a good view of the sunset, here is what you'll need:

SPRAY BOTTLE -fill it with a cup of water.
SMALL SHEET OF GLASS - preferably from any photo frame i e., if you don't have access to a glass window through which you could view the sunset, not forgetting the liberty to spray some water on it too :)

If you are using a glass sheet you may need to provide support so it stays vertical, try to keep wooden blocks or books to keep the balance. Do use a cling wrap to protect the book from water. Use the spray bottle and spray water on the other side of the glass sheet facing the sunset view and not your camera. Now align the frame on your cam's viewfinder so you could see the sunset through the glass sheet. I used "Macro" feature in my cam to shoot this image. Alternately, you could keep the point of focus on the foreground [in this case, water droplets] so the sunset which is in the background goes out of focus and you'll get the same effect as in the above image.
Another interesting aspect is, depending on the efficiency of your cam you may get a clear "flipped view" of the background [sunset] in each droplet. My low end cam was unable to capture the same but I'm sure you'll get better results with a DSLR.

Hope you find this post helpful. If you have any questions or if you give it a shot do leave a comment here with the link to your post, I'd love to view your version.

A day without my laptop..

I  was greeted with a blue screen when i powered my laptop yesterday morning. Needless to say it stayed non responsive to the repeated attempts to repair and i knew i had to make other plans to survive the day.

If you dont know me enough i spend most of my waking hours with my laptop, NO i don't work in the IT sector...wrong guess!  Ever since i got the laptop in 2004 most days the damned thing stays always ON so imagine my plight when it died on me yesterday!! I knew i 'stress tested' it all this while and it was bound to give up any day but it sucked to feel cut off from the virtual world and i hated it.

Anyways in no time i realized there wasn't much i could do about it [I'm technically challenged, u see.. ]  The next best thing [read as 'the only' thing] left to do was tell Iyaps to look into it. He was glad that he got another chance to talk me into getting an iMac for us [I'm a windows gal, not Mac] but he was kind enough to dedicate all the spare time he had to fix the issue and thanks to him, my laptop is back in action within a day!

Although i missed not having access to my laptop it turned out to be quite a blessing in disguise. Instead of staring at the 15.5 wide screen all day i got a chance to actually look around my house and complete some of the long pending chores.

* For the first time i realized 'holidays' were actually over and the decorations had started looking quite out-of-place. I removed all the decor and put them in storage.

* Next in the list was long pending loads of laundry which i finally got a chance to do. I know...not that i'm proud of it but did i tell you 'procrastination' is my middle name? ;)  

* Watered the plants, pruned the roses, planted two rose plants and a hibiscus in my patio garden.

* Dedicated sometime to review  Bar exam study materials i picked up from the library, worked on the assignments from study group.

*Took pics with some photo props to post on my photoblog. 

*  Cleaned the kitchen and hung a new frame on the wall, i gotta make sure i don't trun that space into a living room.

* Marked all the family & friends birthday on the Malayala Manorama calender i purchased from Kerala Store.

*  Cooked a new dish with cauliflower,pepper,and Maggie curry cubes in coconut milk. Recipe coming soon.

* By 5pm it started getting foggy outside and it was wonderful to view the park opposite to our home listening to IR's 80's tamil songs playing in the BG.

* Explored some of the Balance/Strength Training games on Wii Fit Plus, that was quite fun.

 By evening although i was dead tired, i got more things done than on any average day. Also i realized how much time i unnecessarily spend on the laptop and the need to prioritize things. 

Thanks to my non responsive laptop i have a clean house, fresh clothes in the closet, hot food on table and the satisfaction of dedicating time to study.The pleasure of finding warm crsip towels in the shower and to end the day by sinking into fragrant linens in bed is simply...priceless!

Whoever said  "A clean house is the sign of a broken computer", has quite a point!! :))

Washington Post conducted a poetry competition for Two -Line Rhymes with the 'Most romantic first line, but the least romantic second line.
And the winner is....


My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

I thought that I could love no other --
that is until I met your sister.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead-
the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes --
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe “'Go to hell.”'

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts tequila, one part lime

You'll be shown another 12 photos in the second part,
You'll be shown 48 photos in the third part and asked if you saw them in the first part, the second part - or never saw them at all.

When you have finished the third part, your results will be given to you.

Its quite interesting..Click here to begin.
And send me back your SCORES !!!!

Smile - Michael Jackson

I never knew such a wonderful song even existed till i heard it today......at his memorial service :(

"Smile"

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...

If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...

If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
