2012 (8)

1.    An old posting
Happy Birthday[2012]
And have all the blessings
Of the day, if you believe in it!
Mothers are indeed our
First and best blessing!
          One can’t rightly think of
          One’s birthday without
          Ever thinking of one’s mother!
You must also be
Having a mother
Whom you may not
Like to think of, or
Rather her thoughts
Prick you, may be…
                              She can’t but
                              Think of her children,
                              Even when they don’t.
                              That is a mother!
                    A truth beyond grasp!
A mother won’t
Rather can’t curse
Her children even when
They hurt her beyond limit!
That again is a mother!
                              Even when mothers forgive
                              Every possible onslaught,
                              Gods may not,
                              Because mothers are
                              Gods personified, if not beyond…
Procrastinate not to
Reconcile with her
Before ever losing
That chance to shed
Your tears on her bosom,
And be washed of
All possible stains and
Be worthy of her blessings!
And remain ever blessed!

സ്ത്രീ-പുരുഷ സംഗമം അനിവാര്യം
പ്രകൃതി ഒരുക്കിയ നിയതിയത്
പ്രഘോഷിക്കുന്നു ശ്രുതി-സ്മൃതികള്‍
'
മനുഷ്യന്‍' സ്തീ-പുരുഷ ഐക്യമെന്നു...

സുന്ദരമീ ബന്ധത്തെ വികൃതമാക്കി
കമ്പോളത്തിലെ കച്ചവട ചരക്കാക്കി
'
വിവാഹ'മെന്നു വിളിച്ച്ചവഹേളിച്ച്ചു
വിഷുദ്ധീകരിക്കാമീ വികലതയെ...

ശ്രമകര മാവാമീ പ്രക്രിയയെങ്കിലും
ശ്രമിക്കണം നാമൊട്ടും തളരാതെ
വര്‍ഷമൊന്നു പിന്നിട്ട ആ ശ്രമത്തില്‍
വിജയിച്ചു നിങ്ങള്‍ ഡാന്‍-കമി
അഭിനന്ദനങ്ങള്‍... അനുമോദനങ്ങള്‍!

പുരുഷനും സ്ത്രീയും ഒരു ശരീര
മാവുമെന്ന യേശു വചനം
യഥാകാലം യാതാര്ത്യമാവും
അമ്മയുടെ ഗര്ഭത്ത്ഹില്‍...

അനുഗ്രഹമതു  പേറും നിങ്ങള്‍
ആഹ്ലാതിക്ക, ആനന്ദിക്ക
അനുഗ്രഹമായ് ജീവിക്ക
അങ്ങനെയാവണം നിങ്ങള്‍തന്‍ കുഞ്ഞും.

മാമന്‍.

ஆதியில் இருந்தது வாக்கு
கடவுளாக இருந்ததும் அதுவே.
அங்ஙனம் சொன்னது வேதம்
இன்னும் அன்பே கடவுளும் என்றது.

தம்பியண்ணன் ராஜியக்கா
அன்பில் மலர்ந்தாள் ற்றினா
அன்பென வளர்ந்தாள் - அவள்
அன்பின் நிறைவை அடைகிறாளின்று .

அது சாத்தியமானது ............லே
அது அமைவது ஆண்டவர் முன்னாலே
அமோதிப்போம் அசீர்வதிப்போம்
அழகு இல்லறம் அமைய இவர்க்கு.

4.    Why still...?[2012]
Having crossed fifty
one must naturally
climb down slowly
with all equanimity 
and maturity too...

But with me,
it is still the upward
movement, with
no sign of exhaustion!

Seems like asking:
why this kolaveri da?

5.    Dull days...[2012]
What is happening?
No energy, no creativity!
Not anything worth
coming out...!

Drowsiness all through!
When will sleep be
enough for me?

Old friendship are
sprouting anew...
Some have almost 
faded out...
Some are still 
on the wait...

New friendships too
are not that scarce!

Even after thirty plus years
in ministry 
am still struggling with
my little faith!

Not quite ready to
give up for anything!
Going strong in my
convictions day after day.

There is fire very much
within...
That is not glowing
well enough...

Let me at least keep
that fire burning...

6.    The Hiding beauty…[2012]


The Hiding beauty…
Wonder did I
Asking myself
 Why at all people hide behind!
Only then I realized that
There could be a corollary to this:
Someone might be
Watching, rather
Observing someone!
Yes, you stole my admiration
Hiding behind!
When I could see
Everyone in the congregation,
Rather everyone one was
Beholding at the ‘celebrant’
You alone were ‘hiding’ behind!
Yes, that forced my admiration!
Was it unbecoming of a ‘celebrant’?
Who cares, but
Would love to consider that
A matter of admiration of beauty,
Enhanced by the ‘hiding,’
Rather shall I say ‘shying’!
Is not Divinity
‘Satyam’, ‘Sivam’, ‘Sundaram’?
You were bestowed aplenty
With the last of the divine shade!
Your shying smile
Literally captivated me!
Was adoring the beauty from afar!
Seeing that not in the congregation
Left me ‘troubled’ indeed!
It is only a tribute to Beauty,
Both outward and inward equally.
Keep it up knowing that
It is a shadow of divinity real.
To ......., the hiding beauty…

7.     First blessing indeed![2012]
Dear Camy and Dany,

Congratulations!
You are blessed
to become parents now!

This is the first ever
blessing in the Bible:
“Be fruitful and multiply…”

In His great providence,
God has given men and women
a share in his creative power!
And now you two are made
instruments in this divine activity.

On this great day
let me quote for you
a great verse from
Kannadasan’s ‘Yesu Kaaviyam’:
“Aandoru pillai aayiram peralaam;
Yesuvai pola innoru pillai
Isanai kette ini pera vendum.”

Yes, let the child conceived
be the one God willed
for you and the world!

May God give you both
necessary grace to give birth
to a child like Jesus
who ‘increased in wisdom
and in stature, and
in favour with God and man.’

May you be praised
like the mother/father of Jesus:
‘Blessed is the womb that bore you…’

Be mindful of your great call
to become parents and live accordingly
to welcome God’s most precious gift
to you and to the world.

Hereafter let your thoughts
and even feelings be
as pure as possible.

                                                                                                                      Let no negative thoughts
even cross your mind.
Be positive and happy
so that the child may take
the world little more closer
to a better future.

Read good books,
listen good music
and see good films
and pictures as well
as eat good food,
sleep well and
certainly have enough
exercises, preferably work at home.

We are all praying for you both
and the sweet child to visit us all
in due time.

May God bless you both
and child conceived.

Expectantly,

maaman.
