I came across this poem written by the famous Tamil lyricist Vairamuthu in memory of the tsunami victims. I can't read Tamil and so I took the help of my friend RR who read it out for me. As usual, he is at his best in this masterpiece also. Those who know Tamil, can read it here or take help from someone who knows Tamil...
As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
