இன்றைய சிந்தனை

==================================

நாயர் கடை காபி என்றால்
நக்கலுடன் பார்க்கும்
நிக்கிலும் நந்தினியும்
நித்தமும் மாலையில்
நிம்மதி தேடும் இடம்
"COFFEE PUB"

==================================

பளிங்கு மாளிகையில்
தூங்குகிறாள் நூரம்மா
செங்கல் சுமந்திங்கு
வாடுகிறாள் ராக்கம்மா!

==================================

பெண்களை பெற்ற தகப்பன்கள்
வாடித்தான் இருக்கையிலே
பிள்ளைகளை பெற்ற தாய்மார்கள்
வரதக்ஷிணை கேட்பதேனோ?

==================================

நம்ம ஊர் நாய்க்கு - எச்சில் சோறு
இந்த ஊர் நாய்க்கு - எச்சில் முத்தம்

===================================

வந்தாரை வாழவைக்கும் தமிழகத்துக்கு
அழையாமல் வந்த 'சுனாமியே'
சொல்லிவிட்டு வந்திருந்தால்
ஒதுங்கி வழி விட்டிருப்போம்
உயிர்கள் பல காத்திருப்போம்.

===================================

My Thanglish attempt:

=======================
naayarkadai kaapi endral
nakkaludan paarkkum
nikhilum nandhiniyum
nithamum maalail
nimmadhi thaedum idam
'Coffee Pub'.

==============================
palingu maaligayil
Thoongugiraal Nooramma
Sengal sumandhingu
vaadugiraal raakkamma
==============================
penkalai petra thagappankal
vaadiththaan irukkayile
pillaikalai petra thaaimaarkal
varathakshinai ketpadheno?
=============================
namma oor naikku - echchil sohru
indha oor naikku - echchil mutham
==============================

Vandhaarai vaazhavaikkum thamizhagathukku
azhaiyaamal vandha 'Tsunami'ye
sollivittu vandhirunthaal
odhungi vazhi vitturuppohm
uyirgal pala kaathiruppohm

==============================

Sir,

You are back with a bang! pottu thaakkareenga....all are super...esp i like the first (coffee pub) and last (tsunami)most....

Regards,

tt_giant said...

First one was wicked. Rightly so too. Too much vetti bandha and veththu peela nowadays. Saattai adi for youngsters wearing i L NY Tshirt and baltimore ravens cap in madras.

Last one was nice too. Varravangalai ellam vaazhavaikaradhaala dhaan indha gadhi. konjam common sense oda irundha (like rain water saving, reduce drilling for wells, etc), it would have had a much lesser impact.

Welcome back, Narayanan.

i dont think the dowry thing still exists. Atleast among the friends, relatives and colleagues I know.

ada-paavi!!!! said...

vetti banda waste, correct sir...2 vetti bandhas now days sir, expecially in madras. ellorum konjam english terinja podum aavangalellam us return manasalae nennappu!!

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Sundaresan - Thank you.! Several people liked the Tsunami one.! I am surprised.

tt_giant - The 1st one on Coffee Pubs was an impact on a recent chennaionline article.
I think your thoughts on rain water, drilling etc..are 100% right. Thank you.


thennavan - Please wait for an announcement about something which you might like.
You are right.!! See I couldn't stay away even 1 day. That's what is blogging.!

IBH - Netru dhaan sick. Inniki 90% ok. About Nair kadai coffee You are correct. Microsoft madhiri patch anuppa vendam endru vituviten. Thank you

Grey Vampire - Same in my house..!! my kids..love to eat out.!

Anjali - Thank you. I am feeling better today.

kaleidoscope - Thanks
1st one - Its about the craze among youngsters to go to coffee clubs, coffee shops etc.
2nd one - Its about the plight of women. Noorjehan sleeps in a house of Marbles, Our local rakkamma, carries rocks in her head to build houses.
3rd one - I was surprised to see a few women in my family circle demanding dowries for their sons, when their own dads suffered due to the sad Dowry system.

Cogito - I agree. Living simple is the way to go.!

PVS - Thank you

Ganesh - Thank you. Pattu ezhudhum alavukku thiramai illai...Sorry.! By the
way do you compose tunes? Any samples?

Balaji - I have my doubts, Thank god for families like yours and all your friends
and relatives.

Srivatsan - Vetti Bandha - LOL 2nd vetti bandha..I realized when I was visiting India 2 years back. Ellam kaalathin kolam.!

ioiio said...

A small attempt at rehashing the last one..

Tsunamiye..Sollaamal vandhu engalai sidharathai!
Seer kotti kodukkum emmakkalin sirakaruthai..
Nee keeturinthaal kotti koduthiruthom..
Nee thatti parikka ninaithathu yeno!

I hope u dont mind these rehashes...jus vetti thoughts! thats it..

Ram C said...

first, second and last - 'nach'nu irunthathu...

Amrita said...

hi narayanan, thanglish really seems to be vogue nowdays. So u have caught up as well.

Chez said...

மறுபடியும் சுனாமியா??
உங்கள் வலைப்பதிவில்.. :-)

எல்லாமே அருமை.

Particularly, அந்த usage of words in third...
pengal:thagapanaarkal
pillaikal:thaaimaarkal

Great!

Chakra said...

The last one takes the cake Narayanan.... your posts say that you are a lot better now. Do take care.

pk said...

Narayanan, thanks now when i read it i can understand better. Chk UR mail box.

Ganesh Venkittu said...

adey, yenna juram thalaikku romba poyaachaaa?

sollaamal vandhaa tsunami daa....sollittu vandhaa adhu tsunami illai, adhodha BENAMI....

Noor is sleeping because shahjahan is awake with her dreams.....Raakamma is suffering because her husband is sleeping - either with someone else (or) intoxicated......

good thinking man....

Balaji said...

at the risk of sounding repetitive... the tsunami one was excellent :-)

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Folks - Thanks for all your comments.

Several of you liked the Tsumani kavidhai. Honestly, I never thought it would impress a lot of people.

Thanks again. Though I haven't responded individually, I am happy that you like my kirukkals.!

( The last few days, I have been 2 2 busy with my Green Card Process )
