என் தந்தையே ....

கரு கொடுத்து உருவாக்கினாய்
விரல் பிடித்து நடை பழக்கினாய்
கண்டிப்புடன் கல்வி தந்தாதாய்
பணிவுடன் பாசமும் பொறுமையும் தந்தாய்
நம்பிககையுடன் கல்லூரி செல்கையில்
தைரியம் என்ற ஆயுதம் பழக செய்தாய்
தன்னம்பிகையுடன் ப்ணிக்கு செல்லும்போது
தன் கடமை முடிந்த்தாய்
உன் இதய்ம் ஓய்வு எடுத்தபோதும்
தவித்து நின்றால் உன் முயற்சிகள்
தோற்றுவிடும் - என நீ கற்றுதத்த
பாடங்களின் உதவியுடன் உன் ஆசிர்வாதங்களுடனும்
என் ஆயுளுக்கும் ஓடி கொண்டிருப்பேன்.
உன் மரணம் கூட எனக்கு பாடம் தந்தது. - என் தந்தையே!
Ok i didn't write it ... whoever did thanks a bunch!!!!

அப்பா sent me this கவிதை a while back ... hmm and yeah i totally relate to each and every word ... ( Please ..this is not Varanam 1000 effect) .... i have wanted to post it for a while but just didn't feel it was the rite time.. so yeah was today a rite time ... hehehe he ... my reasons are convoluted ...

Reason 1: Every year... during christmas and new year ... we spend it with my Athai in New Jersey ... its a complete 2 week vacation where we do nothing but eat/sleep/watch Tv... and we shop like crazy ... we go to new york ( my most fav place after Madras) .... i catch up with old friends ... i babysit my cousins (one of who is my first child... she and me bond again... she gets to cuddle up.. gets pampered by me)... ofcourse its the time of year ... when i can ask appa for anything and i shall get it ... so this year ... amma wont be coming .. it will be double super for me ... no one to tell us what to do or anything ... most of all ... no one to tell appa what to buy for me or not to buy for me ... so yeah ... BUT ... i guess we wont make it cos amma wants to go there in January cos her project will end and she can also join in the vacation .... so its all what appa called குட்டிய கொழப்பி fied ... cos appa cannot take leave so close to each other ... so as always ..... we shall change our plans ... BUT this time i m rebelling i told him i wont come if he goes in January ... it was s o funny to see him caught between me and amma.... i am going to take this stand and try my level best to persuade him to take me in December ... i have to wait and see... but its so funny ....
Reason 2:
Appa always thinks he is way smarter than me .... one such example is that he always hides money in the house and thinks i can never find it ... my constant job is to find it and take it .... and give him a heart attack ... usually i take 20 dollars or less ... and wait and see if he figures it out ... it takes him a while but he does .... so last week i found 400 american in his laptop bag ... i was going to take it and hide it and give him a heart attack ... but decided not to do so....
SO today ... since i am going to Buffalo -- -- for the thanksgiving day sale .... and since i am not gainfully employed and also since our NJ trip might not happen ... appa said he would give me 100 dollars spending money.... when i broke it to him that he could gimme another 5o dollars considering he had 4oo saved away .... when his jaw fell the floor and if there was an x-ray machine .... i am sure it would have captured his heart falling out from its cavity to the pit of his stomach ..... PRICELESS ....
PS: those were the reasons for posting this today....
PPS: hehehehehehe
PPPS: SM .. i kno my other post is on its way .....
