352. You are enough for me
No time for anything
And non have patience
And simple person like me
Has no place among them.
Many gather together
And talk so many things
But there is no consistent principle
In such talks.
Many things are written
Many things are debated
But at the end
No solution clearly emerges!
They run for something
But goal is not visible
And this slave has no strength
To run along with them
But you are enough for me
And your relationship is enough
And with these, the status
That I have with you now is sufficient for me.
Bhakti is enough for me
And you are enough for the bhakta
And the life that we have together
Is enough for me?

As I went to Chennai to attend Adhu’s (Bhuvana-Raman’s son) thread ceremony (29-11-15), I went by auto to the function. As usual, as per the ‘dharma’ of Chennai auto drivers, he began to lament about the flood, all the mistakes done by the public and govt. and all the solutions to the problem, which no body heed to listen him etc. etc. [If you could travel several autos one day at Chennai, you can collect so many interesting information from them to write stories, screen play script, philosophy, theology, sociology, etc. etc. and Chennai auto drivers are famous for that. They cannot travel without talking with the passengers. Even if you want to keep quiet, they won’t let you to enjoy a quite ride in their auto].
Similarly at the function I met so many people and talked so many things. Likewise when we were driving both Madhu and I discussed about various books and subjects. But people like me who born in ‘post-Independent India’ but who still live in ‘post-modern’ world find it difficult to cope with any world. People like my mother who managed to survive in the ‘modern world’ have less stress as they escaped from the ‘gadget invasion’ in their personal life. They are happy to read their daily news paper, weekly magazine, gossip with neighbors, watch mega serials. But we who are caught between the ‘modern’ and ‘post-modern’ feel caught between ‘rock and hard place’. Unable to cope with the modern trend of information Tsunami at the same time unable to keep away from them, I find it difficult to respond to one thing properly. And the worst scenario in this is how to analyze my life and communicate to others. When I was thinking on this line I wrote this song.
352. நீபோதும்
எதற்கும் நேரமில்லை
எவரிடத்தும் பொறுமையில்லை
என்போன்ற எளியோர்க்கு
அவரிடத்தில் இடமுமில்லை
பலர்கூடி வருகின்றார்
பலப்பல பேசுகின்றார்
கூறிய எவற்றிலுமோ
கொள்கையும் காணவில்லை
எத்தனையோ எழுதுகின்றார்
எவ்வளவோ வாதிக்கின்றார்
வாதத்தின் இறுதியிலோ
தெளிவும் பிறக்கவில்லை
எதற்கோ ஓடுகின்றார்
இலக்கும் தெரியவில்லை
அவருடன் ஓடவோ
அடிமைக்கும் தெம்பில்லை
என்வரைக்கும் நீபோதும்,
எனக்குன் உறவு போதும்
இவற்றிடை உன்னுடன்
வாழும்நிலை போதும்
பக்திஒன்று போதும்
பக்தனுக்குநீ போதும்
நம்மிடை பிரிவின்றி
வாழும் நிலைபோதும்
