മെഴുകുതിരിയുടെ അവസാന നാളം പോലെ, ഇലയില്‍ നിന്നും വീഴുന്ന അവസാന തുള്ളി വെള്ളം പോലെ ഒരു ദിവസം കടന്നുപോകുമ്പോള്‍ ഞാന്‍ അല്ഭുതപെടുന്നു, പുതിയ നാളേക്കുവേണ്ടി, ഒരു പുതിയ തുടക്കത്തിനുവേണ്ടി…..

ഒരു നീണ്ട കാത്തിരിപ്പിനുള്ള അവസാനം പോലെ ആ ദിവസം വരുമായിരിക്കും……

മഴനീര്‍ത്തുള്ളികള്‍ നിന്‍ തനുനീര്‍മുത്തുകള്‍
തണുവായ് പെയ്തിടും കനവായ് തോര്‍ന്നിടും
വെണ്‍ ശംഖിലെ ലയഗാന്ധര്‍വ്വമായ്
നീയെന്റെ സാരംഗിയില്‍
ഇതളിടും നാളത്തിന്‍ തേന്‍ തുള്ളിയായ്
കതിരിടും മോഹത്തിന്‍ പൊന്നോളമായ്
(മഴനീര്‍ )

രാമേഘം പോല്‍ വിണ്‍ താരം പോല്‍
നീയെന്തേ അകലെ നില്‍പ്പൂ
കാതരേ നിന്‍ ചുണ്ടിലെ
സന്ധ്യയില്‍ അലിഞ്ഞിടാം
വിരിയും ചന്ദ്രലേഖയെന്തിനോ
കാത്തു നിന്നെന്നോര്‍ത്തു ഞാന്‍
(മഴനീര്‍ )

തൂമഞ്ഞിലെ വെയില്‍ നാളം പോല്‍
നിന്‍ കണ്ണിലെന്‍ ചുംബനം
തൂവലായ് പൊഴിഞ്ഞൊരീ
ആര്‍ദ്രമാം നിലാക്കുളിര്‍
അണയും ഞാറ്റുവേലയെന്തിനോ
ഒരു മാത്ര കാത്തെന്നോര്‍ത്തു ഞാന്‍
(മഴനീര്‍ )

Because I Choose to

From the movie “The Matrix Revolutions”

Smith:

Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting?

Do you believe you’re fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love?

Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself. Although, only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love.

You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can’t win. It’s pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson, Why? Why do you persist?

Neo:

Because I choose to.

 

Yes, As the life mock against us with all it’s power, we are still fighting against the life as we choose to do it.

Be bold enough to face the examinations of life.

If you want a lover

I’ll do anything you ask me to

And if you want another kind of love

I’ll wear a mask for you

If you want a partner

Take my hand

Or if you want to strike me down in anger

Here I stand

I’m your man

 

If you want a boxer

I will step into the ring for you

And if you want a doctor

I’ll examine every inch of you

If you want a driver

Climb inside

Or if you want to take me for a ride

You know you can

I’m your man

 

Ah, the moon’s too bright

The chain’s too tight

The beast won’t go to sleep

I’ve been runnin’ through, these promises to you

That I made and I could not keep

Ah but a man never got a woman back

Not by beggin’ on his knees

Or I’d crawl to you baby

And I’d fall at your feet

And I’d howl at your beauty

Like a dog in heat

And I’d claw at your heart

And I’d tear at your sheet

I’d say please

I’m your man

 

And if you’ve got to sleep

A moment on the road

I will steer for you

And if you want to work the street alone

I’ll disappear for you

If you want a father for your child

Or only wanna walk with me a while

Across the sand

I’m your man

 

If you want a lover

I’ll do anything you ask me to

And if you want another kind of love

I’ll wear a mask for you

Lock the Workstation with Mouse

Generally we use Alt+Ctrl+Del or Windows+L to lock our PCs; it would be much better if we could do that by the click of the mouse. 

Here's how to do it : 

1. Right click an empty spot on the desktop, point to New and click Shortcut. 
2. In the Create Shortcut dialog box, copy the following into the 'Type the location' of the item text box: 
   "rundll32 user32.dll,LockWorkStation" remove quotes while typing. 
3. Click Next. 
4. In "Type a name for this shortcut", type LOCK and Click Finish.
5. Now just double click on the icon, your desktop will be locked. 

Linux users, Sorry this post is not intented for you!!!

Hmmm…. Another Independence day, This time the 65th one. As usual children will sing the patriotic songs in the schools, teachers will ofcourse come to school as they will get an off on any other weekday… A lot of plastic Flags will be out in the market and we are bound to buy them as we didn’t even know there are flags made of clothes. Beverage coorporation will reach new skies in majority of the cities. Polititians will stop fighting each other for one day and will give long lasting speeches to the public….

An average Kerala family will wake up late after the ceremony at the red fort is over…. and will spend the whole day in front of tv as they will release new films for the holiday mood… Or they will be planning some pleasure trip with everyone in the family… Some of us will go to a theatre and watch a thriller there. Celebraties would have given their independence day wishes at least a month back so that the tv channels can telecast in time. I think these days they are taking all the greetings together in one shot, like for Onam, X’mas, Independence Day, Ramzan etc. And what not, Electronics gadgets can be bought with some mind blowing offers….

And above all, some will be laughing seeing all this and will think about the way we got here and the history behind our Independence. Yes, we keralites have special plans for every holidays. And we really enjoy this year’s Independence day as it is on a Monday… 3 day leave together is what majority of the Keralians are looking for…

For all the Indians, I wish you a very Happy Independence Day….

Please be silent for at least a minute and think about our nation on the occasion of the Independence day, If the current position is not allowing you to do so, then please be patient, we have a few more miles to go… But be proud we have all the above freedoms which a common man in any other country may not be having right now….

അതിരുകാക്കും മലയൊന്നു തുടുത്തേ
തുടുത്തേ തക തക തക താ
അങ്ങു കിഴക്കത്തെ ചെന്താമരക്കുളിരിന്റെ ഈറ്റില്ലത്തറയില്‌
പേറ്റു നോവിന്‍ പേരാറ്റുറവ ഉരുകി ഒലിച്ചേ തക തക താ
ചതിച്ചില്ലേ നീരാളി ചതി ചതിച്ചില്ലേ
ചതിച്ചേ തക തക താ
മാനത്തുയര്‍ന്ന മനക്കോട്ടയല്ലേ
തകര്‍ന്നേ തക തക താ
തകര്‍ന്നിടത്തൊരു തരി തരിയില്ല പൊടിയില്ല
പുകയുമില്ലേ തക തക താ
(മാനത്തുയര്‍ന്ന…)
കാറ്റിന്റെ ഉലച്ചിലില്‍ ഒരു വള്ളി കുരുക്കില്‍
കുരലൊന്നു മുറുകി തടി ഒന്നു ഞെരിഞ്ഞു
ജീവന്‍ ഞരങ്ങി തക തക താ

In desperate hope I go and search for her
in all the corners of my room;
I find her not.

My house is small
and what once has gone from it can never be regained.

But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
and seeking her I have to come to thy door.

I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky 
and I lift my eager eyes to thy face. 

I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish
—-no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.

Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch
in the allness of the universe.

"Desert Rose"

[Cheb Mami Introduction (Algerian Arabic):]
Hadaee mada tawila
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
[English:]
Oh night oh night
It has been a long time
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Aman aman aman
Omry feek antia
Ma ghair antia
Ma ghair antia
[English:]
Aman aman aman
My life is for you
And no one other than you
And no one other than you

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Ya lili ah ya leel
[English:]
Oh night oh night
