colour of the RAINBOW

It is from the movie 'Minsara Kanavu' and the lyrics by 'Vairamuthu'. It may go like this:
I asked, "What is the kind of the saree the girl who is going on the bullock cart is wearing?" and the reply is "colour of the rainbow". Sometimes the smell brought by the raindrops that falls on the soil takes me to the rainbow.

There are so many songs that can stay in your heart forever and, perhaps, this is not(?) of that caliber yet these lines are very attractive to me as they raised some strange questions as soon as I listen to it.

The actor puts in a question "What kind of the saree that the girl is wearing?" and the answer he got is "rainbow colour!". He is a blind and how does he know the colour of the rainbow?. He himself gives an answer - "The aroma spread by the fresh rain drops that falls on the earth takes him to the rainbow" He feels the majesty of rainbow in the form the fragrance of the earth. For him, the colour of the rainbow is the smell that he feels.

Can we see things without eyes? Some may feel red is good because they relate it with the evening sun and some may feel red is bad because they relate it with the blood scattered around the person died on a accident. It is not the colour, it is the kind of mood it creates in you that matters! When you say THIS IS RED if both you and the other person feels the same then you shared what you want to share with him, he doesn't even need to see it. Of course, we define things to make sure everybody gets the same mood otherwise it will be a big chaos.

Parrot green, candle light, dead yellow leaf ... how does the blind know them all? But I am sure God has given him another dictionary! And of course, God plays very well and He has infinitely long list of mysteries to make us believe in Him.

The Kite Runner

Usually, I buy and read book suggested by my friends but no one suggested me to read the book "The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini". I neither heard about it before I accidentally bought it. I was looking for the books I planned to buy in the Chennai Bookfair 2011 and I found this book . There was something attractive, though it was not as beautiful as of many of the books cover design, it should be the cover of it, because all I could see was only the book cover. I took it in my hand and asked myself, should I buy this?, yes was the answer and I bought it. I completed reading this book last week, after keeping it the shelf for almost 2 years. I am glad I got this book. It is one of best books I read in the recent years. The phrase " For you, a thousand times over " lingering in the mind is the proof that I really enjoyed reading this book and moved so much ;) " I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975 &

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu
