கூவக்கன்னியின் ஏக்கம்

வெள்ளையனுக்கு
மகளாய் பிறந்தேன்
**** நன்றி PVS

cooum
வெள்ளையன் என்னை
மகளாய் நினைத்தான்

அன்புடன் வளர்த்தான்
அழகாய் வளர்ந்தேன்

வளைந்து நெளிந்து
தமிழரின் பசி போக்கினேன்

தமிழனுக்கு
மனைவியானேன்

கூனி குருகி
சாக்கிடையாய் நாறி

கறுத்துப் போய்
வாடுகிறேன்.

என்னை பற்றி இங்கே படியுங்கள்.
****

The River Cooum which flows thru Chennai, India is now like a sewerage. It stinks and the water is black. Too many slums are around this river.

During the British days, this river was clean and even ferries operated on it, carrying rice and other essential commodities to the people of Madras.

I've written as though this river is talking. Miss.Cooum laments that she was well taken care of by the Englishmen and that she stinks now having married the Tamils.!

Just an imagination.!!

we often appreciate things that are good and well maintained in foreign countries and we seldom take care of the wonders in our place. I happened to visit the palaces in jaipur and i could see the peeda karai everywhere.. engae irukiradhu sutham...

if you read the above article, you will find that even bacteria does not thrive in the river....and the state of several rivers..

the river Palar used to provide water for chengalpattu<--->tambaram area residents....the fact that its dried up is so sad.....

god save india.....
