I took three years of  Tamil at high school. I can follow all of Barathi and anything post 1900. And then Tiruvasagam came along and I wish I knew more Tamil. Honestly, I hadn’t heard  any of it other than Shivapuranam. And I heard this on Ilayaraja’s work

( Any attempt at translating that would end up with me looking like a jackass)

While IR work was just okie-dokie, the flood gates had opened. I find something mind blowing every single time I read it. The trouble – I can’t get more than a few verses each time, thanks to my sucky tamil and the total awesomeness that would take a lifetime to soak in.

All I want now is to play NFS and suck at it, gang up on Sid G, PJ with Pachu, stand in a queue and pay the phone bills, Spitfire at Fruitshop, Unwind Center, play with Madhu, Pinky, Harshini and the other little kids, make silly tunes on savitri, watch crappy tamil television, jump lanes on Mount Road, vegetarian food, stay away from the internet and cease momentarily from being the Ovid spouting monster I have become. I want simple uncomplicated happiness. Again.
