My Favorite Rumi Poems

1.

If the sky is not in love,
then it will not be so clear.
If the sun is not in love,
then it will not be giving any light.
If the river is not in love, then it will be
in silence, it will not be moving.
If the mountains, the earth are not in love,
then there will be nothing growing.

2.

I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty,

and wish to see you with a hundred eyes.

I am in the house of mercy,

and my heart is a place of prayer.

3.

You were born with potential;

You were born with goodness and trust;

You were born with ideals and dreams;

You were born with greatness;

You were born with wings;

You are not meant for crawling, so don't

You have wings;

Learn to use them and fly!

'Traffic' ~ The Best Malayalam Movie I Have Ever Seen

Hi,

I am not a movie critic at all! But in my opinion 'Traffic' is the best malayalam movie I have ever seen. 'Manichitratazhu' was my ever time best in malayalam before I watched 'Traffic'. No offense, Manichitratazhu will remain as a classic. If I didn't watch 'Traffic' , I would have lost faith in malayalam movie at all!

In my experience I got bored with most malayalam movies publicized as 'hit', 'super hit', 'super star rocks', 'hollywood style', 'first time in world cinema', 'universal hero' etc. Most of such movies were below zero value in all dimensions!

As a usual malayalee, I too adjust with such works & was in an attitude 'I don't care' & 'This is Malayalam Movie' etc. But 'Traffic' is simply SUPERB in ALL DIMENSIONS.

The movie 'Traffic' is simply superb & a wonderful piece of Art work. Hats off to the cast & crew of 'Traffic'. Congrats, you have done a very good job for malayalam film industry. The movie came without any 'heavenly' hype going to rock for sure.

Pros : The movie handled a lot more emotions in a very healthy way all around 2hrs. (Yes, the movie didn't try to waste our time around 3hrs by giving a foolish concept that they have saved our money! ) Director Rajesh R. Pillai deserved hearty claps for handling those so much emotions in a good way. 2 hrs of emotions indeed. (Never ever think emotions as only 'tele opera' crying emotions please!)

It was a really good effort to make a lot more within 2hrs & making it a master piece. (While most others struggling with above two & half hrs in bgm, cry & slow motion!)

Story/Script Writers Bobby and Sanjay deserved special claps as well. Without a perfect script like this, this wouldn't have happened. Perfect script. We can't find a loop hole there!

Casting of actors is well suited. They are all perfect match for the characters. Everyone perfectly suited for characters. Each & every character in it have equal importance! No Hero! No Villain! No Heroine! Everyone can be considered as Supporting Actors!

Dialogues. Wow. Heart touching lines. Conversation between SaiKumar & Collector and Anoop Menon & Jose Prakash will stay with you for a few days! SaiKumar said it in a very height of sorrow & is touching. (Watch the movie for dialogues! In Theatres!)

Director succeeded in making a movie full of thrill, suspense & emotion. All actors in it acted very well. In my opinion, especially Sai Kumar.

The movie showed all sorts of relations in a very good & healthy way. It shows us the strength of relations & how bad we feel if we ever loose those relations. (In that sense the hollywood movie 'AWAKE' is a must watch. It showed us different emotions & the bond of relations. A movie with a similar genre of heart transplant itself but in a completely different way!)

The movie showed us all how a malayalam movie could be! Before it most of the so called 'hit' makers showed us how a malayalam movie should not to be!

Thanks to Rajesh Pillai, Sanjay , Bobby & the whole crew for making such a wonderful 'Emotional Thriller'.

Cons : The movie will stay with you for a few days even after you left the theatre! A must watch malayalam movie! 'Traffic' won't let die malayalam movie which requested for a 'mercy killing'!

~ Three Inspiring Quotes For You ~

Hi Friends,

I want to share you with three inspiring quotes now.

1. Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.

2. Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.

3. The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Yours,

Shinu S.

Monsoon On Sky

As a support for my thoughts,
As a beauty for my feelings,
As a cradle for my songs,
Monsoon started lashing
Over the land of loving.

Like a blushing lover,
Nature began to smile over,
Seeing the dancing trees,
Seeing the flying birds,
Seeing the rowing winds.

My dreams began to fly with
The wind as it gently passes,
A slow murmuring surrounds me,
That can be felt by everyone
"I can't allow you to sit gloomy!"

ഈ ചാറ്റല്‍ മഴയത്ത്...

എനിക്ക് വേണ്ടി പെയ്ത ,
ഈ ചാറ്റല്‍ മഴയില്‍ എവിടെയോ,
ഒരു തണുത്ത പൂവിതള്‍ സ്പര്‍ശം പോലെ ,
നിന്‍ ഓര്‍മ്മകള്‍ തങ്ങിനില്‍ക്കുന്നു മൂകമായി ;
പാതി നിര്‍ത്തിയ കിനാവിന്റ്റെ
സ്പന്ദനം പോലെ അകലത്തെവിടെയോ.

ഈ മഴയുടെ സാന്ത്വനം എന്നെ ഓര്‍മിപ്പിച്ചത് ,
നിന്‍ ചെറു കൊഞ്ചലുകള്‍ ആയിരുന്നു .
സ്വര്‍ഗം തന്റ്റെ സ്നേഹം ഭൂമിയിലേക്ക്‌
പെയ്തിരക്കുമ്പോഴും , അസുലഭ സ്നേഹത്തില്‍
പ്രകൃതി നനഞ്ഞു കുതിരുമ്പോഴും, എനിക്ക്
മനസിലാകുന്നു നീ എന്‍റെ സ്വപ്നം ആണെന്ന് .

മൌനം വലിച്ചെറിഞ്ഞ വേദനയില്‍ പിടയുന്ന
പൂവുപോലെ നിന്നെ തനിച്ചാക്കില്ലാ ഞാന്‍ ഒരിക്കലും.
ഈ നിമിഷത്തിലെവിടെയോ നിഷ്ക്കളങ്കമായ നിന്‍
സ്വപ്നനത്തിന്‍ നനവ്‌ ഞാന്‍ അറിയുന്നു ,
കാലത്തിനു മായ്ക്കാന്‍ പറ്റാത്ത ഓര്‍മകളില്‍ ,
എന്‍റെ സ്വപ്നങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് നീ കൂട്ട് വേണം .

Rain From Heaven

The scintillating sound as the

Falling rain kisses the leaves,

The wet breeze which flows

Along with the rhythm of rain,

What made me peep through the window

And then walk into the blessing

As the heaven lands on our earth.

As the heaven pours on earth

I can feel the blessings it hides within.

It is the reply to our prayers.

How else can heaven respond,

To the prayer of silent lands,

To the prayer of thirsty plants?

It is the time of heaven on earth.

Is it the love of sky to the earth?

As the love pours on our earth,

As the ecstacy of blushing trees

Overcome the hurry of cool wind,

As the birds sings with the rain,

I stand quietly in the rain by praying,

Let the heaven never retreat from earth.

Shinu S.

One of My Favorite Quote!

Love the people who treat you right.

Forget about the ones who don’t.

Beware Of Life, Hope for the Best

Life is full of mysteries and wonders. But I always believed in Expectations.

Till some days before, I believed only in those things which I can expect.

But now I know, anything unexpected can happen. Something really unexpected did happen.

Unexpected in the sense that I didn't expect it to happen even in my lazy dreams.

It changed a little bit on my perceptions about life. Life is to expect something and something unexpected can also be expected in our life. Future would tell us, whether the expected as well as unexpected is for good or bad. Let's always hope for the best in expectations and unexpected things.

So beware of life. Unexpected Can happen at anytime and always Hope for the Best.

Yours
