ME and Myself

Till the age of 5, i want to be noted by my parents
Till 10, by my teachers
Till 15, by my friends
from 18 - 20, by my opposite gender
I got noted i was happy
But i missed something

Till 25, by my peers
Till 30, by my new family
Till 35, by my neighbours
Till 40, by my child' schoolmates and their parents
Till 50, by my child' new family
I got noted i was happy
But i missed something

Time moved on
and the above relations moved away
I still was on my heels
and never fell ill
I got noted i was happy
But i missed something

Suddenly one day, i saw an image in the mirror
The image in the mirror called me near
Felt a shock which was hard to bear
It was me standing with fear
'You got the attention you needed
But did you ever pay the attention i needed'
it asked me, which was clear to hear.

I was feeling alone
With all the relations gone
My image taught me
I was still with me good to carry on
the dreams i have borne,
the dreams i sacrificed
to get noticed and be alone.

Now i dream to fulfill my dreams
At this age, should/can i do it?
My image again told me
I better be a late achiever than be a Late nobody.
This time i got noted and i am happy
Missing only the age bygone.

SMILE

My heart was feeling heavy
and my tears were ready
Lonely and all alone within four walls
I was crying and that was not all
I cried and howled my heart out
till i realised theres nothing more left
I dried my tears and stood in front of mirror
the image smiled at me sarcastically
Look what you have done to you
look what impact others had on you

Never let anyone know you are sad
for it sometimes make others smile with joy
Never let your tears show u cry
for theres no hand to wipe it dry
Never let anyone hear you howl
for theres no ears to hear and heal
Never let anyone see you mourn
for theres no shoulders to lean on
Never look depressed
for theres no heart to understand you

So smile, smile my friend
to feel inside happy
Sometimes Smile my friend
to show your friends you are happy
Sometimes smile my friend
to make your friends happy
Sometimes smile my friend
to make your family happy
and at times, smile my friend
to make your foes unhappy.

நீ

நீ எனது சூரியன்
உனது அன்பு கிரணங்கள் தான்
என்னை அணைக்கும் -- நீ அல்ல

நீ எனது சந்திரன்
உனது குளிர்ந்த கதிர்கள் தான்
என்னை வருடுகின்றன -- நீ அல்ல

நீ எனது துருவ நட்சத்திரம்
என்னகு வழி காட்டியாய் உள்ளாய்
ஆனால் என்னுடன் இல்லை

நீ எனது நீல வானம்
பறந்து விரிந்து எனக்கு அடைகலம் தருவாய்
ஆனால் என்னுடன் இல்லை.

எனது எல்லாமாய் இருக்கும் நீ
என்னனுடன் இருக்க வேண்டுகிறேன்
வருவாயா?

தவளை

தவளையாரே வாருங்க பாட்டு ஒண்ணு பாடுங்க
மழையின் தூறல் தாளங்க
இடியும் மின்னலும் பின்ணணிங்க
தரையெல்லாம் மேடை தானுங்க
சந்தோஷமா பாடி ஆடுங்க

Luttappi - 2

Another story by VH when he was 4 1/2 yrs.

One day Luttappi was flying in his spear over a small temple. He suddenly thought of a plan to play naughty. He flew into the temple and stole the statue and flew away. Everyone ran after him shouting, 'Hey! Stop, Hey! stop' but were not able to catch him.

Mayavi was passing by and he happened to see the scene. He realised the situation and chanted 'ABRACADABARA! Heavy'.

Suddenly, the idol became very heavy unable for him to carry. The weight pulled hum down and he fell with a big 'thud. The people down caught the falling idol and gave Luttappi a severe 'never-to-forget' beatings. He flew away wailing.
