For my Pall-bearers - Poetry by A. Ayyappan (as translated by Sri Koyamparambath Satchidanandan)

For my Pall-bearers - Poetry by A. Ayyappan (as translated by Sri Koyamparambath Satchidanandan)

For my Pall-bearers

I have to share a secret

which is not in my will

with those who bear my coffin.

There will be a flower

in place of my heart:

a gift from the woman

who taught me love’s religion

in my days of curiosity.

Pluck that flower from my heart

before I am buried .

Cover my face with its petals.

One petal ,too, for my palm

with its vanished lines.

Through that flower

I long to come back.

I had no time to tell you this truth

the moment before I died ;

it flowed off into death

with the cold water you offered me.

Or else,

just leave the coffin open,

now that I have befriended the dead.

This is Wisdom - Poetry by A. Ayyappan (as translated by Sri Koyamparambath Satchidanandan)

This is Wisdom - Poetry by A. Ayyappan (as translated by Sri Koyamparambath Satchidanandan)

This is Wisdom

This is Wisdom.

This is the salt that

flavours everything

This is the red bloom

of the dark plant,

the open eye

the enemy fears ,

not the Buddha’s

half-closed one

This is the nest of Desire,

the West of home.

This is the home with the mother,

the friend of the herb.

This is the dried blood

of the ancestor

still left on the sacrificial stone.

This is Wisdom.

The Taste of Earth - Poetry by A. Ayyappan (as translated by Sri Koyamparambath Satchidanandan)

The Taste of Earth

I am the desert dreaming of oases.

a dream for those who condemn

my scorching sands.

When the forests bloom

and rain arrives on the green earth,

when snow falls on the mountains,

I remain the burning earth.

I am the fever of the sun

not cooled by moonlight.

Remembering the rain,

I become the butcher’s laughter.

I too love flowers,

But not the rain.

Its chill is a curse;

it’ll put out my fire.

Those who have travelled

from the Sahara to the sea

know the taste of my heat.

Readers Club - Poetry by Joanna Giselda Sherlin - Believe In Yourself

There may be times when you feel,
Life ain't gonna go your way.
There may be times when you think,
" It's just not my day! "

There may be days when you are sure,
No one cares about you.
There may be days you're waiting for a door,
To open and guide you through.

There may be problems which boggle your mind,
And give you much ado.
There may be problems for which you conclude,
There's nothing you can do.

There may be people who bear ill-will,
Who say you can never make it.
There may be people who can kill,
The faith you have within.

But in those times, days and problems,
All you gotta do is have self-confidence,
And just a little patience,
'Cause the key to success is to Believe In Yourself!

If you Believe In Yourself,
Failures will fade out of sight.
All you see will be success,
If you try with all your might.

With success comes happiness and peace of mind.
An unexplainable happiness no where else you can find.
But confidence and belief is not all you need,
You also need a gentle heart to do any good deed.

For if you have all these things in you,
With a dash of love,
The whole world will look up to you,
As the greatest gift from heaven above.

Gulf News Community reports published in July 2010: Winning entry - Spilt fuel can have dire consequences

2010-08-15T08:59:00.003+04:00

Gulf News Community reports published in July 2010: Winning entry - Spilt fuel can have dire consequences

Taking a stand isn't always easy or exciting — but if it will make a difference, community reporters are prepared to come out of the shade and act as catalysts for change.

The newspaper recognises readers who raised their voice on issues that they felt were important, relevant and required immediate attention.

And what goes around comes around.

Today, we acknowledge and award those who shared their experiences and brought significant matters to the fore during the month of July.

Over the past few months, the Your Turn page's Community Report section has highlighted myriad subjects that concerned residents and helped alert the authorities about matters that required urgent attention.

Topics of concern ranged from misspelled signboards to street lights burning much-needed energy during the day.

Readers have found Community Reports to be the right platform to create awareness and turn the spotlight on situations that generate interest and truly impact their lives.

Raising important questions, seeking answers from the relevant authorities and highlighting social issues take effort. And community reporters do not hesitate to prod and poke, if it has a chance of making a real difference.

The community reports published in July were judged by UAE Editor Meher Murshed. The criteria for selection included content, issue, impact on community, responsibility and the quality of contribution.

FIRST PRIZE

Spilt fuel can have dire consequences
July 9
By: Ramesh Menon

Reason for selection:
The consequences of mistakes are magnified if they are made in places such as petrol stations.The community reporter highlighted the hazards of spilling fuel when trying to accommodate rush-hour traffic.
UAE Editor Meher Murshed said: “This is an excellent community report because it raises an issue that is relevant to all of us. We should all make an effort to be careful. I congratulate Mr Menon on his excellent civic sense and urge others to follow suit. Safety is a common concern.”

Profile:
Ramesh Menon is a technical officer, based in Abu Dhabi.
The reader actively promotes and exhibits community talent in the blogosphere through his blog: www.talentshare.blogspot.com.
As a frequent reporter of community issues, the reader said: “I wish, in the future, more readers will find time to write in without holding back on their thoughts, as community reports are gaining immense popularity and attention, with the issues getting addressed and resolved at a faster pace than through normal routes.”

SECOND PRIZE

Danger of contamination
July 12
By: Boban Thomas

Reason for selection:
When temperatures soar, water is a crucial part of people’s day. But what if even that is under the risk of contamination?
UAE Editor Meher Murshed said: “The reader has raised a valid point. Quite often, we leave water in plastic bottles in our cars. Leaching of chemicals in water, in high temperatures, has been known to have a negative or bad impact on health. This is a documented fact. When we see such displays of ignorance, action should be taken.”

Profile:
Boban Thomas is a logistics supervisor, based in Abu Dhabi.
He repeated the need to safeguard water bottles and not leave them out in the heat.
The reader said: “This is a bad practice and I see it [happening] every day in front of small supermarkets wherever I go. I request the authorities to intervene at the earliest.”
Thomas said he hoped to have the issue addressed through his community report. “Also, thank you Gulf News for giving readers a good platform to highlight their concerns.”

THIRD PRIZE

Beach ruined by rubbish
July 22
By: Vijoy V.J

Reason for selection:
In most parts of the world, summer is synonymous with the beach.
When the community reporter came across a large amount of litter in one such spot in Ajman, he decided to write and call for a change in attitude.
UAE Editor Meher Murshed commended the reader’s initiative.
He said: “We should all make an effort to protect our open spaces. Keeping our environment clean is necessary to ensure future generations can still enjoy Nature. The report and pictures bring to the fore the gravity of the problem on Al Zorah Beach, in Ajman.”

Profile:
Vijoy V. J. is a marketing officer, based in Dubai.
A second-time winner of the community report competition, the reader said he was confident about being heard.
“If the relevant organisations and authorities come together with the people who raise their concerns, I am sure it will make a difference.”
However, according to the community reporter, the situation remains the same at Al Zorah Beach.
He said: “Nobody has looked into it yet, but I know it is a huge task to clean up the area. It has been in a sorry state for the past two years. I hope the authorities take action.”

Poetry - STAMMER by K. Satchidanandan

2010-07-07T12:33:00.000+04:00

Poetry - STAMMER by K. Satchidanandan

Stammer is no handicap:
it is a mode of speech.

Stammer is the silence that falls
between the word and its meaning,
just as lameness is the silence
that falls between the word and the deed.

Did stammer precede language
or succeed it?
Is it only a dialect
or a language itself?-these questions
make the linguists stammer.

Each time we stammer,
we are offering a sacrifice
to the God of Meanings.

When a whole people stammer
stammer becomes their mothertongue
as it is with us now.

God too must have stammered
when He created Man.
That is why each word of man
carries different meanings.
That is why everything he utters
from his prayers to his commands
stammers,
like poetry.

(VIKKU,Translated by the poet)

S E L F ( Swam) / K. Satchidanandan

My mother didn’t believe
when, in 1945 I appeared to her
in a dream and told her
I would be born to her the following year.

My father recognized me
As soon as he saw
the mole below my left thumb.
But mother believed to the very end
that someone else had been born to her
masquerading as me.

Father and I pleaded with her;
but dreams are not reliable witnesses.
She went on waiting for that
promised son till she died

Only when she was reborn as my daughter
did she admit it had really been me.

But by then I had begun to doubt
it was someone else’s heart
that was beating within my body.

One day I will retrieve my heart;
my language too.

July, 2010

Lavanasura Vadham Kathakali by Kalanilayam Gopi Ashaan - an evening of delightful performance on the occasion of Keraleeyam 2010 by KALA Abu Dhabi.

KALA ABU DHABI organized “KERALEEYAM-2010” - as part of the inaugural function of newly elected Managing Committee for the year 2010-11 on 24th of June Thursday evening at India Social & Cultural Center, Abu Dhabi.

A delightful Kathakali performance by renowned Kathakali artist and guru Sree Kalanilayam Gopi Asan and his team was the attraction of the evening for the packed auditorium of ISCC main hall. A thayambaka, Keli and Mohiniyattam dance performances added to the list of memorable performances of that evening.

The Kathakali was based on the story “Lavanasura Vadham” , a section from Ramayana where where Rama is ruling after duly completing his 14 years in exile. A casual conversation of his two sub-ordinates, a washerman and his washerwoman, where it appeared as if there is a black mark on the purity of Sita who had spent a few months alone in Lanka under the custody of Ravana. The washerman tells the washerwoman that I will not take you back in my house if you spend a single night outside even though our King Rama took back his wife Sita. The word spread around of this conversation and although, this comparison is quite unjust, Rama, respecting popular opinion decided to send Sita into the forest. Sita was pregnant and also contemplating to visit some sages in the forest and take their blessings. Sri Rama requested Lakshmana to leave Sita in the forest and come back. The unsuspecting Sita was left in the forest but fortunately near the ashram of Valmiki. Valmiki took Sita into the ashram and consoled her. Soon Sita delivered twins. Sage Valmiki named them Kusha and Lava. He taught them all the sciences and arts of the time. And they grew up with the sage. At that time, in the nearby forest lived a demon called Lavanasura. He was terrorising the sages who lived there. They complained to Rama who sent his brother Shatrughna to deal with the demon. Shatrughna kills the demon. Then starts an Aswamedha yaga in which a decorated horse was sent out followed by a mighty army led by Shatrughna. The horse came near to Valmiki's ashram. Lava and Kusha tied up the horse, and fought with Shatrughna and defeated him. Rama also came for battle but went back without fighting.

Rama then asked Hanuman to bring the Horse. However Lava and Kusha tied up Hanuman (rather Hanuman allows himself to be tied up) and brought him to Sita. Sita was astonished and immensely happy to see Hanuman. She ordered him to be released from the knots. Hanuman enquired about the well being of Sita and also told her that Rama had made a statue of Sita for completing the yaga rites. This made Sita happy. Hanuman went back happily with the Horse.

Artists:

Hanuman – Kalanilayam Gopi Aashan
Seetha – Kalanilayam Vinod Kumar
Lava – Aishwarya Gopi
Kusha – Kavya Pushapangadhan
Chenda - Kalamandalam Shivadas
Madhalam - Kalanilayam Prakashan
Music & Chengala - Kalanilayam Rajeev
Elathalam - Kalanilayam Babu
Chutti – Janardhanan
Commentary, and presentation by : Kalanilayam Dr. Rajeev

It is the fourth time that KALA Abu Dhabi is bringing Kathakali performance to the art lovers of UAE. The enthusiasm and interest by organizers convey a message that this traditional art form of Kerala will have many more stages in future. Utilising this opportunity a demonstration and Kathakali Pada Kacheri was held by Thiranottam in Dubai on Friday and a similar programme was held at Abu Dhabi Malayali Samajam. Both programmes were attended by large number of Kathakli enthusiasts and the narration by Kalanilayam Dr. Rajeev, an oncology specialist working with Regional Cancer Centre Trivandrum was a boon to many to understand the art form and create added interest to the novice.

The action photos of this post were captured by Potent Shinz and Saleem Abu Alyazia admins of Abu Dhabi Photographers Club group on Face Book.

Looking forward to many more performances by Guru Kalanilayam Gopi Ashan and troup in the region.

As many of you may be aware by now, the directorate of traffic and patrol (general command of Abu Dhabi police -UAE) and SAAED company is conducting one of the largest international ART competition. The competition is for traffic regulation under the banner of (traffic safety). The rules and regulations are detailed in the following link.

Master - Joshua Godfrey
Winner of Reflections painting competition held at ISCC Abu Dhabi on 14.05.2010
Group 3 - Age 7 - 10 yrs.

Please join me in congratulating our participating member Master Joshua Godfrey for his recent achievement.

Talking about Joshua, I remember the first time he participated in Talent Share initiatives in November 2008. It was for the first online competition conducted by Talent Share he submitted one of his drawings. When I met him after, with his father, to present a small gift, which was given that time to all the participating children, he was hiding behind him. Introducing him to me, his father Godfrey told me, he is the only one at their home with a different talent as he, his wife Jasmine and Joshua’s elder brother Jaison are all musically oriented and regularly present programmes and get gifts and certificates. Joshua was that time the one who was left alone without any representation to his credit at their medal collections.

I periodically talked to him, his arts teacher and his parents and encouraged him to participate and present often. His regular participation, his parents effort to put him on drawing classes even while on holidays at Kerala, and the encouragement of his own arts and crafts teacher Mr. Rajkumar at Our Own English High School Abu Dhabi changed the situation at the display at his home.

He is now a regular winner wherever and whenever he participates. I am very happy for you Joshua, God bless you and your talent to grow to greater heights.

2. I would like to also inform you that the recent newspaper coverage with the support of Malayala Manorama has brought in many entries and visitors to the Fan page and blog. The effort is a continuous process and thus repeats my request to all the participating members to present neat and complete work. More such presentation opportunities are looked upon and very soon you will see the result of it.

3. I am happy to inform you that, our dedicated style of presentation and participation is getting recognised and appreciated by organisations and associations. One such example is the important announcement by Christ College Irinjalakuda Alumni association to showcase on Talent Share sites the entire presentations submitted by their member’s children for an ongoing art competition. Organisations and cultural associations and their active members are invited to present such activities on Talent Share.

4. Due to ongoing changes on Face Book, several new options and enhancements are coming out. It is causing sometimes huge inconvenience and loss of data. This was one of the reasons; I couldn’t implement the two new added features informed to you through the Message dated 31 March 2010. However, here too, we take the principle, a change is an opportunity and I am working on several added features during the split seconds of my available time devoted for Talent Share. Watch out for them, and promise you to make it interesting as usual. All these actions are done with sincere interest to prove the good aspects of utilising social network sites for the benefit of the society around.

As I rephrase and quote Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s words, do you need to be motivated to promote and participate Talent Share?

Wish you a great month day and great month ahead.

“We did it” – Talent Search Campaign

2010-03-10T19:31:00.003+04:00

“We did it” – Talent Search Campaign
Dear Participating members and Fans of Team 1 Talent Share,

I am coming to you all with a special campaign this time. As the name denotes, it is a collective effort. A visit to one of the school here and a casual talk with a teacher prompted me to create this campaign.

There are many hidden talents within our near vicinity. Some of them, fortunately or unfortunately do not have the facility of computers at home, or even if they have, they are not familiar with talent upload sites and Fan pages. Certain others could not participate due to restrictions of various type. Some others have inhibitions or contempt to such progressive initiatives.

What we are going to do through this campaign is simple:

1. Look around for un-exhibited and hidden talents amongst your contacts

2. Identify and convince them and volunteer to exhibit their creative work

3. Obtain their permission to scan and forward their creativity for exhibition at Talent Share.

4. Post them directly at Talent Share Fan page on Face Book, keeping in mind the simple guidelines for posting or email them to team1dubai@gmail.com

5. Once posted, invite them along with your friends to view them at Talent Share blog and Fan pages.

6. Applaud yourself and feel the contentment of bringing out a talent to a global audience.

7. Both you and the artists receive the appreciation from a world wide audience and enjoy their good will.

Our intention is to have a collective participation of families, friends to present creativity in the best possible way. So, take your time, present only neat work.

As you know, dedicated efforts are in progress to exhibit creative work submitted by Talent Share Fans at various forums and media initiatives.

Spread the word around. Start searching for that precious un-identified pearl amongst your contact circle and introduce their work at Talent Share.

Let this be start of an evolution of a chain reaction. Yes, let us all say together – A Talent or Knowledge within you is to be shared. And together “We Did It”.

Good luck in advance and become a self campaigner for Talent Share now itself.

ലഹരിയിലേക്ക് ഒരു യാത്ര

2010-02-20T10:49:00.004+04:00

ലഹരിയിലേക്ക് ഒരു യാത്ര

ദിവസേന പോലെ അന്നും ആ ബാലന്‍ റോഡിനോട് ചേര്‍ന്നുള്ള ഗേറ്റില്‍ പിടിച്ചു കാഴ്ചകള്‍ കണ്ടു നില്‍ക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. അപ്പോള്‍ അതാ നടന്നു വരുന്നു ഖാദര്‍. എന്നത്തേയും പോലെ, അന്നും ഖാദര്‍ അഞ്ചുമണിയോട് കൂടി വായനശാല തുറക്കുവാനുള്ള പോക്കായിരുന്നു അത്. ആ കൊച്ചു ഗ്രാമത്തിനെ പുറംലോകവുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന ഏക സ്ഥാപനം ആ ഇടിഞ്ഞു പൊളിഞ്ഞു വീഴരയുള്ള കെട്ടിടത്തില്‍ സ്ഥിതി ചെയ്യുന്ന വായശലയും, അതിലെ ഉച്ചഭഷിനിയോടു കൂടിയുള്ള ഒരു റേഡിയോ യും ആയിരുന്നു. ഖാദര്‍ ആയിരുന്നു ആ വായനശാല നടത്തിപ്പുക്കാരന്‍. ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ കോളേജ് വിദ്യാഭ്യാസം ഒക്കെ കഴിഞ്ഞു ജോലി അന്വേഷിച്ചു നടക്കുന്ന ഒരു നല്ല ചെറുപ്പക്കാരന്‍ . ഉപജീവനത്തിനു സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ കൊടുക്കുന്ന ഒരു തുച്ചമായ സംബലത്തില്‍ കൃത്യതയോടെ തന്റെ ജോലി നോക്കിനടത്തിയിരുന്ന ഒരു സാധു മനുഷ്യന്‍. ആ ബാലനും അയാളുടെ കുടുംബവും തമ്മില്‍ ഉള്ള ഏക ബന്ധം, ദിവസേന ആ ബാലന്റെ വീട്ടില്‍ നിന്നു ഖാദറിന്റെ അമ്മ വാങ്ങി കൊണ്ടു പോകുന്ന ഒരു ലിറ്റര്‍ പാലാണ്. ദാരിദ്ര്യം നിറഞ്ഞു നില്ക്കുന്ന ആ വീട്ടിലെ ഒരേയൊരു സുഖലോലുപതയാണ് ആ ഒരു ലിറ്റര്‍ പാല്‍. ആ കൊച്ചു ബാലന്റെ അമ്മൂമ്മ സ്നേഹത്തോടെ നല്കുന്ന അളവിലും കൂടുതലുള്ള ആ പാലിന്റെ വില ഖാദറിന് നല്ലവണ്ണം അറിയാമായിരുന്നു. കാരണം, പലപ്പോഴും, പാലിന്റെ വില രണ്ടോ മൂന്നോ മാസം കഴിഞ്ഞാലും കൊടുക്കാന്‍ പറ്റാറില്ല.

അന്ന് വൈക്കീട്ടു വായനശാലയിലേക്കുള്ള നടത്തത്തിനിടയില്‍ ഖാദര്‍ ആ കൊച്ചു ബാലനോട് ചോദിച്ചു :

കുട്ടന്‍ വരുന്നോ എന്റെ കൂടെ വായനശാലയിലേക്ക്? കുറച്ചു നല്ല പുസ്തകങ്ങള്‍ ഞാന്‍ വായിക്കാന്‍ തരാം.

അമ്മൂമയോട് ചോദിച്ചിട്ട് ഞാന്‍ വരാം, ഖാദര്‍ നടന്നോളൂ, കുട്ടി പറഞ്ഞു. അമ്മ സ്കൂളില്‍ നിന്നുള്ള വരവും കാത്തുള്ള നില്‍പ്പും കൂടിയായിരുന്നു അത്. അകത്തേക്കോടി, അമ്മൂമയോട് സമതം ചോദിച്ചു, കുട്ടി പതുക്കെ പടിവാതില്‍ തുറന്നു പുറത്തേക്കിറങ്ങി. ഒന്നോ രണ്ടോ ബസ്സുകളെ അന്ന് ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ വഴിയിലൂടെ ഓടിയിരുന്നുള്ളൂ . അതിനാല്‍ പതുക്കെ പതുക്കെ വഴിയോരതോടെ ബാലന്‍ ഗ്രാമീണ വായനശാലയെ നോക്കി നടന്നു. അപ്പോഴേക്കും ഖാദര്‍ വായനശാല തുറന്നു റേഡിയോ പ്രവര്തിപ്പിച്ചിരുന്നു. അതിലൂടെ ആകാശവാണിയുടെ പരിപാടികള്‍ ഉച്ചത്തില്‍ കേള്‍ക്കായിരുന്നു. അത് ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ വായനക്കാര്‍ക്കുള്ള ഒരു സിഗ്നല്‍ കൂടിയായിരുന്നു - ഇതാ ഖാദര്‍ എത്തി, നിങ്ങള്ക്ക് വന്നു പുസ്തകം മാറ്റാം.

പൊട്ടി പൊളിഞ്ഞ വാതില്‍ പതുക്കെ തള്ളി തുറന്നു കൊച്ചു ബാലന്‍ ചിതലരിച്ചു തുടങ്ങിയ ആ പടികളിലൂടെ സാവധാനം മുകളിലേക്ക് കയറി. തെന്നി വീഴുമോ എന്നുള്ള ഭയമും ഇല്ലാതിരുന്നില്ല ആ കുഞ്ഞു മനസ്സില്‍.

വീഴാറായ ഒരു ബെന്ച്ചും ഒരു കൊച്ചു മേശയും ഏതാനും പുസ്തകങ്ങള്‍ തിക്കി നിറച്ച ഏതാനും അലമാരകളും ആയിരുന്നു അവിടത്തെ കാഴ്ചകള്‍. ഓ , കുട്ടന്‍ വന്നുവോ? തടിച്ച രജിസ്റ്റര്‍ പുസ്തകത്തില്‍ നിന്നു തലയുയര്‍ത്തി ഖാദര്‍ ചിരിച്ചു കൊണ്ടു പറഞ്ഞു. ഏത് പുസ്തകം വേണമെങ്കിലും കുട്ടന്‍ എടുത്തു വായിച്ചോള്ളൂ, ഖാദര്‍ പറഞ്ഞു. എന്താ ചെയ്യേണ്ടത് എന്നറിയാതെ പകച്ചു നിന്ന കുട്ടിയെ കണ്ടു ഖാദര്‍ പറഞ്ഞു - അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ വേണ്ട ഞാന്‍ തന്നെ തരാം. വീഴാറായ വാതിലുള്ള ഒരു അലമാര തുറന്നു ഒരു തടിച്ച പുസ്തകം എടുത്തു രജിസ്റ്റര്‍ ചെയ്തു ഖാദര്‍ കുട്ടിക്ക് കൊടുത്തിട്ട് പറഞ്ഞു - കൊട്ടാരത്തില്‍ ശങ്കുണ്ണി എഴുതിയ ഐതിഹ്യമാലയാണ് - ഇതു കൊണ്ടു പോയി വായിച്ചു നോക്കൂ. നല്ല പുസ്തകമാണ്. ഇതു കഴിഞ്ഞാല്‍ വേറെ തരാം.

എന്തോ വലിയ നിധിക്കിട്ടിയപോലെ അടര്‍ന്നു വീഴാറായ ചവിട്ടുപടികളിലൂടെ തിരക്കിട്ട് വീടിലെക്കൊടിയ ആ ബാലന്‍ അന്ന് അറിഞ്ഞിരുന്നില്ല അത് ഖാദര്‍ ആ ബാലനില്‍ കുത്തി വച്ച വളരെ വലിയ ഒരു ലഹരിയാണ് എന്ന്.

യാരുക്കാകെ യാരുക്കാകെ, ഇന്ത വസന്ത മാളികൈ.....

2010-02-20T10:29:00.004+04:00

യാരുക്കാകെ യാരുക്കാകെ, ഇന്ത വസന്ത മാളികൈ.....

നേരം ഏകദേശം ഒരു ഏഴ് മണി കഴിഞ്ഞിരിക്കും. സൂര്യന്‍ പടിഞ്ഞാറ് അസ്തമിച്ചു, ഉമ്മറത്തെ വലിയ മാവിന്മേല്‍ പക്ഷികളും, ദേശാടനം നടത്താന്‍ ഇറങ്ങിയ കുറച്ചു കൊക്കുകളും തമ്മില്‍ രാത്രിയിലെ വാസ്സത്തിനുള്ള ഇടത്തിനു വേണ്ടി മത്സ്സരിക്കുന്നു. ഉമ്മറത്ത്‌ ചെറിയ വെളിച്ചത്തില്‍ ഇരുന്നു പുസ്തകത്തിലെ പാഠങ്ങള്‍ പടിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കയായിരുന്നു ആ കൊച്ചു കുട്ടി.

എന്നത്തേയും പോലെ അമ്മൂമയും കൂട്ടിനുണ്ട്. അപ്പോള്‍ മുന്‍വശത്തെ ഗേറ്റ് ആരോ തുറക്കുന്ന ശബ്ദം കേട്ടു. ആരാ മോനേ അത്, ഒന്നു എണീറ്റ്‌ നോക്കൂ? കുട്ടി ഉത്തരം പറയുന്നതിന് മുന്പേ ആ പാട്ടിന്റെ വരികള്‍ വീടിലേക്ക്‌ ഒഴുകിയെത്തി. യാരുക്കാകെ യാരുക്കാകെ, ഇന്ത വസന്ത മാളികൈ.....അപ്പോള്‍ ഇന്നും വേലായുധന്‍ നല്ല ഫിറ്റില്‍ ആണ് വരവ് അമ്മൂമ്മ പറഞ്ഞു.

ഏതാനും നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ക്കകം പടോന്നൊരു ശബ്ദം കേട്ടു കുട്ടി എന്നീട്ട് നോക്കി. അത് വേലായുധന്റെ വരവാണ്. എന്നത്തേയും പോലെ, വൈക്കീട്ടു പണി ഒക്കെ കഴിഞ്ഞു ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ കള്ള്ഷാപ്പിലേക്കുള്ള തന്റെ നിത്യ സന്ദര്‍ശനവും കഴിച്ചുള്ള വരവാണ്. റോടരികിലുള്ള വഴിവിളക്ക് കത്താന്‍ വേണ്ടി കത്തുകയാണോ എന്ന രീതിയില്‍ ഒരു ചെറിയ പ്രകാശമേ ആകെ അവിടെ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നുള്ളു. എന്നാലും വേലായുധന് വഴിയെല്ലാം മനപാടമാണ് എത്ര ഫിട്ടായാലും. പോകുന്ന വഴി തന്റെ യജമാനന്റെ വീട്ടില്‍ ഒന്നു കയറുക , പിന്നെ പോക്കറ്റില്‍ സൂക്ഷിച്ചു വച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന ഒരു കൊച്ചു പൊതിയില്‍ നിന്നു രണ്ടു നാരങ്ങ മിട്ടായി അവിടത്തെ കുട്ടികള്ക്ക് കൊടുക്കുക. ഏതെങ്കിലും പഴയ ഒരു ശിവാജി പടത്തിലെയോ എമ്മ്ജിആര്‍ പടത്തിലെയോ ഏതാനും വരികള്‍ പാടുക. ആ കുട്ടികളോടൊപ്പം തന്റെ ഉള്ളിലെ വേദന മറക്കാനുള്ള ശ്രമത്തിലായിരുന്നു ആ സാധു. കുട്ടിക്കാലത്ത് എപ്പോളോ തമിള്‍നാട്ടിലെ ഏതോ ഗ്രമ്മത്തില്‍ ജോലിക്ക് പോയതിന്റെ സമ്മാനങ്ങളാണ് ആ നുറുങ്ങു പാട്ടുകള്‍.നാട്ടില്‍ തിരിച്ചെത്തി യജമാനന്‍ നല്കിയ അഞ്ചു സെന്റ് സ്ഥലത്തുള്ള തന്റെ ഓല മേഞ്ഞ പുരയിടത്തിലേക്ക് കിടക്കാന്‍ പോക്കുനതിനു മുന്പുള്ള ദിനചര്യ.

രാവന്തിയോളം രണ്ടു പേരും ആ വീട്ടിലെ സ്ഥിരം പണിക്കരായിരുന്നു - വേറെ ആരുമില്ലാതിരുന്ന അവര്ക്കു എല്ലമെല്ലയിരുന്നു ആ കുടുംബം. അതിലും വലുതായി - അവരുടെ മരിച്ചുപോയ രണ്ടു കൊച്ചുകുട്ടികളുടെ സമ പ്രയക്കരയിരുന്നു ആ വീടിലെ കുട്ടികളും . വീണിടത്ത് നിന്നു പതുക്കെ പതുക്കെ എണീറ്റ് ആ വീടിന്റെ ഉമ്മറത്തേക്ക് അയാള്‍ നടന്നു നീങ്ങി. വേലായുധനും ഭാര്യയും ആ വീട്ടിലെ അംഗങ്ങളെ പോലെ ആയിരുന്നു.

കുട്ട്യേ , ഇതു പിടിച്ചോളൂ , ഇന്നു വേലായുധന്റെ കയ്യില് ഇത്രയേ ഉള്ളു. കുഴഞ്ഞ ശബ്ദത്തില്‍ വേലായുധന്‍ പുലമ്പി കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു. അത് നോക്കി കൊണ്ടു ആ അമൂമ്മ പറഞ്ഞു, എന്താ വേലായുധ ഇതു? എത്ര പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുള്ളതാ നിന്നോട്, ഇങ്ങനെ കുടിച്ചിട്ട് സന്ധ്യക്ക്‌ ഈ വഴിക്ക് വരരുതെന്ന്? കുറച്ചു നേരത്തേക്ക് ഒരു മൌനം. എന്താ ചെയ്യാ എമ്ബ്രാട്ടി, ഒരു രണ്ടു മിട്ടായി കയ്യിലുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. അത് ഇവിടെ കുട്ടിക്കള്‍ക്ക് കൊടുത്തിട്ട് പോകാം എന്ന് കരുതി. എനിക്ക് അവിടെ കാത്തിരിക്കാന്‍ വേറെ ആരാ ഉള്ളത്........ആടി ആടി വേലായുധന്‍ ആ പറമ്പിന്റെ അറ്റത്തുള്ള തന്റെ കൊച്ചു പുരയിലേക്ക്‌ പതുക്കെ നടന്നു നീങ്ങി. എവിടെയോ ഒരു പട്ടി അപ്പോള്‍ കുരക്കുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു.

സര്ര്‍പ്പക്കവിലെ പാമ്പുകള്‍ ഇഴഞ്ഞു നടക്കണ നേരമാണ് ഇതു.
എത്ര പറഞ്ഞാലും കേള്‍ക്കില്ല അവന്‍ - അമ്മൂമ ഉച്ചത്തില്‍ പറഞ്ഞു കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.... അപ്പോഴെഴ്ക്കും ആ ശബ്ദം കുറച്ചകലെയായി കഴിഞ്ഞു . യാരുക്കാകെ യാരുക്കാകെ, ഇന്ത വസന്ത മാളികൈ..... ഏതാനും നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ക്കകം അകലെ നിന്നു ഒരു കരച്ചില്‍ കേള്‍ക്കാമായിരുന്നു, എന്നെ തല്ലല്ലേ , എന്നെ തല്ലല്ലേ,...... എന്നുള്ള കരച്ചില്‍... അപ്പോള്‍ മുഴങ്ങി കേട്ട ശബ്ദം ഇതായിരുന്നു - ആര്രാടി ഇപ്പോള്‍ ഇവിടെന്നു ഓടി പോയത്..... നിന്റെ മറ്റവനെ ഞാന്‍ ഒരു ദിവസം കൊല്ലും........ ഏതാനും മിനിട്ടുകള്‍ക്കകം ആ രണ്ടു ശബ്ദങ്ങളും നിലച്ചു. മറ്റൊരു ദിവസത്തിന്റെ അന്ത്യം. മറ്റൊരു നാളേക്ക് വേണ്ടി രണ്ടു പേരും മതിമറന്നുരണ്ങുന്ന നിശ്ശബ്ദത....പിറ്റേ ദിവസവും രാവിലെ വെളുപ്പിന് തന്നെ രണ്ടു പേരും അവരവരുടെ പണിക്കായി കൃത്യതയോടെ എത്തി ചേര്‍ന്നിരുന്നു.... മറ്റൊരു സന്ധ്യക്കും, മറ്റൊരു ജമിനി ഗണേശന്‍ പാട്ടിനും, ഒന്നോ രണ്ടോ നാരങ്ങ മിട്ടയിക്കുമായി ആ കുട്ടികളും. അതിന് ഒരു പ്രത്യേക മധുരമായിരുന്നു.

Dear Fans of Team 1 Talent Share,

Presenting to you Priyanka Nair. She presents a dedication for Grand Parents.

"Team 1 Talent Share - Young Readers Club". Children are encouraged here to read a poem or story. They may read from what they study, read or even from their own writing.

Priyanka Nair
Class : KG2
School : The Millenium School, Dubai

Below are the lyrics for the song. This is a song written by Johny Prill for children to be dedicated to their grand parents. Priyanka was part of the group that performed this song at her school during the Grand Parent's day celebration on February 1st. It is an apt dedication by our kids who miss their life with Grand Parents!!

Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you
I love all those little things that you say and do
A walk through the park, a trip to the zoo
Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you

Going to a ball game, fishing on the lake
Eating Grandma's cookies, boy they sure taste great
Going to the circus when it comes to town
Eating cotton candy and laughing at the clowns

Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you
I love all those little things that you say and do
A hug and a kiss, a ride home from school
Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you

Spending time together, talking on the phone
Happy birthday presents, chocolate ice cream cones
Photographs and memories, picnics and parades
Saying that you love me in so many ways

Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you
I love all those little things that you say and do
The stories you tell, things I never knew
Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you

Encourage her with your comments.

Regards to all,

Ramesh Menon

Let's Try and do it - How to draw dot shaded pictures

How to draw Dot Shaded pictures
By Nadeem Mustafa
Abu Dhabi

Dot shaded pictures is a form of creative drawing which needs lots of patience. One can draw a small or big picture using these technique. However, if you are creating a bigger version, one needs to view it from a distance to enjoy it’s beauty.

What is required to create a dot shaded creation?
-----------------------------------------------------------

A person, who has the confidence, I will do it attitude, patience and time. Of course, you need the necessary paper and pen, preferably Pilot V5 High-tech 0.5mm.

How to draw?
-----------------

First, take a print of the image you want to draw using this technique. If you are taking a color variation of the picture, take it’s print out by adjusting brightness (+10) and dark variation (+10), and dark variation as black.

This will enable you to get the print out with the shades in it.

You will start drawing the picture looking at this shaded print out.

Beginners can use graph styled paper, creating outlines and sketches. You may also use rubber, pencil, and white ink for corrections.

While creating the face, normally, I start from the right eyelids , then eyes, then eyebrows, then nose etc. Then move on to the left eye. Distance between both the eyes should be carefully scaled. It is also very important to measure the distance of the nose.

Following the shades in the picture, the dots can be put, carefully leading from one point to another. Then start the lips. By the time you finish the lips, you will get an idea of the person whom you are trying to complete. If it is not coming out right at this point of time, you may have to start all over again.

This is just to begin with. Try out your first steps of Dot Shaded creations. In case you face any difficulties, you may contact me here, and I will be willing to guide you through with your queries.

Poetry - RAINY DAY, MY FAVOURITE DAY by Aroush Nihal Babu

2010-01-19T15:14:00.001+04:00

RAINY DAY, MY FAVOURITE DAY

by Aroush Nihal Babu

Rainy days, they are wonderful days,
After rains, the puddle lays.

Kids go splash, in the puddles,
And watch rainbow in cuddles.

Moms make warm spicy snacks,
With dads pouring coffee from the flasks.

Boys are seen with paper boats,
Grandpas looking cool in their coats.

Babies frightened at the sound of thunder,
Grandmas comforting and holding them closer

People, who are tensed, watch the rains,
Your problems soon would go down the drains.

Rainy days, they are my favourite days,
Pray ,God makes more rainy days.

Aroush Nihal Babu,

This is also the reason for the increased awareness of it through radio and the press.

Poem - A wing and a prayer
by Abdulla Essam

This is a poem about a persistent bee.
Always busy and never free.
He now finally has his weekend.
Shall he fly in schools or hang with his friend.
The school is closed and his friend is on holiday,
But he will not miss his weekend, no way.

So up to the mountains he flew.
He went alone, without a crew.
He found a man who weighed 102 pounds.
He seemed larger than three and a half hounds.

The man sat on a log having a sandwich.
A treat like that, the bee wouldn’t ditch.
It buzzed around, there was no one to hurt,
And got swatted without an alert.
The bee fell and landed in the sand.
With a bent wing, he tried to stand.

The man stepped on it with all his might,
but the bee was innocent, he didn’t want a fight.
The bee didn’t want to die, not like his brother, his sister, his uncle, nor his mother.
He didn’t want to meet the same fate,
So determination from the heart, he did create.

The bee kept trying to fly till he got it right.
Because it wasn’t time to see the light.
The man felt sorry, kneeling before the bee.
Now finally the bee is free.
You’re wrong if you think that’s the end.
That is the beginning of the bee’s rough weekend.

Message to members - Creative themes for January 2010

2010-01-11T17:15:00.004+04:00

Creative Themes for January 2010

Ok, it's winter, raining in the Middle East and Opening of Burj Khalifa in UAE.

As suggested by our members, let et that be the theme for January 2010. Any creative activity - drawing, painting, coloring, or poem or short story related to these could be presented.

That doesn't mean members cannot submit woks on any other topsi. The other day, I came across a friend whose young son wants to paint an elephant in yellow and he was compelling him to color it with black. The boys argument was - in Dubai, they paint statues of horses in different color, so why not my elephant in Yelllow? That ws an example of Creativity Unpluged.

So, wish you the very best to present your creative works with the following themes:

- winter.
- raining
- Burj Khalifa

To honor our commitment to the society and to involve ourselves as a group who values social responsibilities, I suggest each of the participating members to create any interesting item (drawing, coloring, posters, poetry, story etc) with regards to Health, Safety & Environment.

This particular topic, i.e. HSE will be permanent for every month. Post your ideas which you value match the importance of HSE around you, your school, your home, or society.

Talent Share would like to say thanks on behalf of all these little artist's to the arts and crafts teachers who teaches them the basic at school. Very soon, we will have a reward for such patrons in recognition for their encouragement. Schools, teachers, arts & crafts specialists - please note.

Regards,

Ramesh Menon

4. A notification copy about your creative interest and excellence will be transmitted to your respective school authorities to highlight your creativity and get added attention for development from your respective arts and crafts teachers.

5. For those in Sharjah, it will be delivered through our contacts there and for those abroad, it will be reaching you by post within the next couple of days.

6. Special thanks goes to all the parents and also to the two juniors at the bottom of the list – Vinu Nair and Rino Rajan for proving the others that they are still young at heart.

7. Although, there was a call for sponsors to come forward, due to recession effect or whatever, I did not find a single sponsor for this campaign. However, as I said earlier, there is a bigger sponsor for all of us and that is our almighty god, and he has showered us with abundance of creativity, for which there was no recession, whatsoever. I hope, the children will love their gift hamper when they receive it in their hands.

8. Those participants who have not already provided me with their postal address are kindly requested to provide it at the earliest.

Sincere regards,

Ramesh Menon

Dear Fans of Talent Share,

1. A very happy and creative 2010 to all Fans of Talent Share.

2. New year always bring fresh vigour in our life and let us begin ours with a fresh set of creative thoughts. I am looking forward to more interactions and participation from all the Fans in their own possible way to encourage Talent Share initiatives. It could be made possible by two ways:

• guidance and comments each time a member present his/her creativity
• spreading the word around about Talent Share to any one who you feel may benefit from it

3. A big team is working constantly behind Talent Share. Yes, the team is “YOU” – each one of you. Every fan has a distinct role in promoting the participating members with encouragement, guidance and constructive criticism. This is one of the reason we have not earmarked any one with specific administrative roles for Talent Share.

4. As informed to you earlier, a printed album of submitted works by members of Talent Share is available for social organisations, voluntary/medical assistance groups & care centres etc for display. This is done to bring out an added sense of social involvement to the society by all the participating members of Talent Share. Those interested may contact me by email at team1dubai@gmail.com to receive it either electronically or by post.

5. As you all know, the “Celebrate Christmas 2009 and New Year 2010 with Talent Share” competition received interesting response and I thank each of the participant and their parents for the time and effort. Although, a panel of judges have been lined up for evaluation, I personally feel, each one of the participants deserve to be declared as winners for their interest and involvement when compared to numerous others who did not respond due to various reasons. I would like to know your comments on this.

6. I also look forward to your suggestions and ideas to take Talent Share to the next level from here. Consider it as your own initiative and do come forward without frequent pep talks and mails. As you have seen, things are happening instantaneously through constant creative thinking and our new year video was an example to it. It was the result of an email request to provide a three sentence wish greetings in own language and format to our regular participating members. Some responded with interest and the result happened to be a delightful flow of wish that was innovative for all.

7. Last but not the least, be a True Fan of Team 1 Talent Share :

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Team1Talentshare/128460166288?ref=sgm

Participate with interest and invite any one with interest in performing or non-performing arts (let it be drawing, sketching, coloring, poetry, writing, dance, music or any other) to take benefit of this initiative.

With god’s grace and good will, I am sure, 2010 will be continuously creative and inspiring.
