some independence day thoughts...

64 years ago,
on this same date,at the stroke of midnight hour it's officially announced,
India gained freedom from colonial British rule..
still I'm not sure whether it was for our good or for our bad???
all that GDP growth and fundamental right stuffs,what's the  real difference for 
common man?
so much to think about...
but honestly I like to believe,India's independence is for our best...
and I sincerely hope,time 'll prove it...
Jai Hind !!!

Bohemian,what?

why I renamed my 'half boiled' blog as Bohemian?
I don't know...
yeah,that s right.. I don't know how I end up with bohemian!
the only time I came up through this strange term is while reading one malayalam poem
during my college days...
ok then,whts bohemian?
well its nothing but artistic and unconventional....
cool right?
you can find end number of explanations for bohemianism and all at net,but please don't,
don't go for anything more than this what I said regarding my blog title!

artistic and unconventional !!!

നയ വഞ്ചകി !

 മുറിഞ്ഞ ധമനി

പിടയ്ക്കുന്ന വിരലുകള്‍ ,

ഇറ്റു വീഴുന്ന രക്തത്തിന് നിന്റെ മണം!

എങ്കിലും,
നീ സുരക്ഷിത !

കാരണം,

വിറങ്ങലിച്ച ചുണ്ടിനും,

തളം കെട്ടിയ ചോരയ്ക്കും ,

നിന്റെ പേര് പറയാനാവില്ല....

(ജീവിതത്തിലേക്ക് വിളിക്കാതെ വിരുന്നു വരികയും, വിട പറയാതോരുനാള്‍  കടന്നു പോകുകയും ചെയ്ത എല്ലാ   നയ വഞ്ചകിമാര്‍ക്കും വേണ്ടി...)

the power of HOPE....

staying alone is a bit boring thing, still it has its own advantages!

we can do whatever we like without bothering others....watching my kinda movies without any interferrance is a bliss,really...classics,contemporary world movies, action, drama, horror everything...most of the movies are for a second time or third time...

Taxi driver,man who copied,the return,cinema paradiso,seven samurai,last tango in paris,good fellas,reservoir Dogs,yojimbo,Breathless... the list is too big...but i just want to talk about two hollywood movies that glorifying the power of Hope!...those movies 'll teach us ,even in the worst phase of life what we can do, if we have the faith in ourselves and have the will power to venture!yes,I'm talking about two of the finest movies hollywood ever produced!
the first one is,1994 Frank Darabont directed movie 'Shawshank Redemption'the film begins with a court scene; in that, the main character is sentenced for a double lifeterm(that means his remaining lifetime)for an accused murder(but he is innocent)! he end up in a very nasty,notorious prison named SHAWSHANK! the film showing how he transforming the jail and how he managed to escape from that tightly seccured fort prison after completing a gruelling two decades(20 years)....his only tool that help him to break his cell is just a tiny chisell.... his enormous selfbelief and hope did the rest...!!!

the story telling in this movie is just awesome!very inspirational movie,a must watch....

[trivia:I got one watercolour painting from my best buddy raghu with one great african proverb written on it at the very same year,this movie released(1994)...that proverb also exemplifying the power of hope;

'never fear shadows;it simply mean there is a shining light somewhere nearbye!'

what a thought!that words made an everlasting impression on my mind....whenever I got a chance to advise my friends I liberally quote this lines to them....]

the other movie I'm goin to talkin about is tom hanks starrer 'CAST AWAY'(dir:Robert Zemeckis)...in this one,Hanks portrays a FedEx employee who is stranded on an uninhabited island after his plane crashes over the pacific ocean! he survives on that unmanned island for four years and eventually escape to the mainland!!!

the protagonist,never ever giving up his self belief and faith even in the worst situations he came up to meet with.....

a truly motivating movie I've ever seen...and the creators shown us how even an inanimate object(one volleyball named wilson) 'll make a wonderful character in a movie! when hanks weeps after he losing his only companion wilson at sea,we can't resist our tears!thats the power of imaginative screen writing!

whenever get low at the heart, friends,
just take time to watch this two movies...u can also feel what I felt....
thank you....

മഴമേഘങ്ങള്‍ ഓര്‍മപെടുത്തിയത്.....

ഹൈദരാബാദില്‍ ഇത്തവണ കാലവര്‍ഷം കാലം തെറ്റിയും പെയ്തു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു...

ജൂലൈ പകുതിയോടെ നില്‍ക്കേണ്ട മഴ ഓഗസ്ടിലും തുടരുകയാണ്...

നല്ലത് തന്നെ...

ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ഇങ്കില്‍ തീര്‍ത്ത ഒരു അമൂര്‍ത്ത ചിത്രം പോലുണ്ടായിരുന്നു

മഴമേഘങ്ങള്‍ ചിതറികിടന്ന നരച്ച ആകാശം;

കര്‍കിടകത്തില്‍ പുതിയങ്കത്തിനു മുകളില്‍ ഞാനെന്നും

കാണാരുണ്ടായിരുന്ന അതേ ആകാശം!

കാല്‍കീഴില്‍ ചവിട്ടി തെറിപ്പിക്കാന്‍;
ഊടു വഴികളിലൂടെ കുത്തിയൊലിച്ചു വന്നിരുന്ന

ചെളി വെള്ളം ഇപ്പോഴെന്റെ നാട്ടിലും ഒരോര്‍മ മാത്രമായിരിക്കും...

അവിടുത്തെ വഴികളും,

കോണ്‍ക്രീടിലും ടാറിലും അടക്കം ചെയ്യപെട്ടു കഴിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു...

പുതുമഴയില്‍ കുതിരുന്ന മണ്ണിന്റെ മണം

എന്റെ സ്കൂള്‍ ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ മണം കൂടിയായിരുന്നു...

അതും എനിക്കന്യമാകും!

Disturbing facts...

today I came across through two very disturbing facts on media;
I want to share it: that,
now only 1411 Tigers are left in Indian forests!!!
cross border illicit trade of Indian tiger products at Lahsa,Tibet and Chinese markets, and the inefficient preventive measures to stop illegal poachers made Indian Tigers survival very,very difficult...considering the facts that there were 40,000 tigers in our country 50 years back and Tiger is our national animal,definitely the time is running out to stop this alarming downwards 'growth' of indian tigers...
one of our national news television and one mobile network seriously trying to their best to send this message to the people through their save tiger campaign.I wish them success...

because these animals are so majestic,don't let them be extinct....

another more disturbing fact is the cover story of the news weekly,The Week,
that in every third day one Indian soldier ends his life himself!!!!!

what happen to our brave hearts???...

really disturbing facts...

one naughty trivia...

as I stated earlier in one of my blogpost, wikipedia the free encyclopedia always gave me some surprising trivial things....
while I was reading on some literary giants on wikipedia unexpectedly I find out, one very interesting thing that;
one of the first adult movies I ever watched in movie theater(during my college days) actually stars worlds most celebrated novelist Ernest Hemingway's grand children as its heroines!!!!
quiet interesting,right???
once again wikipedia made me absolutely stunned!

From the empty corridor of an art Gallery...

for the last couple of years we are reading a lot on the extra ordinary growth of our indian contemporary art field and how finally indian artworks are getting global attention...
lot of articles are discussing the potential huge market for indian art at the global stage...

nowadays its not that much a surprising news that some indian contemporary art work is fetching millions in international art markets or at the domestic elite class.......
not only m.f hussain,tyeb mehta,anjali ila menon kind of iconic indian artists but even some young generation artists can boast about what their works can command on international art houses....thanks to the neo liberalization policies....

but is this art boom,really made any difference on our popular perceptions towards the art field and the practice to avoid visiting galleries as something unusual?
why I'm thinking like that, is because some weeks before I went to a reputed modern art gallery here in Hyderabad on a very fine sunday evening...
weather is excellent for an outing for people,so huge gathering at shopping malls,cinema theaters, the gardens and even at temples...
but to my extream surprise this neatly maintained art gallery is empty..!!pin drop silence prevailed there, except that 'wrrooom' kinda low sound from a old fashioned large fan...
the four people presented there except me is all security personnals..!!!!they amused to see someone enjoying some surreal things....one guy sincerely recommend me the great 'space show'excibiting near bye, planetarium!
the so called art boom not made any difference in the peoples taste towards art works rather they find art as an investment that gave you more profit than gold and land...
so sad....
(photography is not allowed inside the Gallery but I used my mobile cam to show the emptiness! my sincere apologies..)

Dutch football and John keats....thoughts on empathy factor!

two days before almost all of sportworlds attention inevitably went on to the southafrican venue where 2010 south african fifa world cup draw took place...football lovers thrilled to know that there is not even 6 months remaining to start the worlds most beautiful games ultimate showdown......
my teams are the latin american soccer giants argentina and brazil;reason obviously is the football legend maradonna and beauty of latin american soccer!
but what the curious thing I want to share here is,
whenever one match being played between either one of this my favourite teams and the Dutch or Spanish team I secretely wish for a Spanish or Dutch win....why?
Is it because of the empathy factor?
I know the pain of being a loser though you 've all the potential to win...
look at the spanish and dutch football history,very often they sent and been considered as the very strong and most deserved team to lift that precious piece of gold cup, still they couldn't make it yet!
I read a lot on the legendary johan kruyff ,that how he single handedly popularise the total football and make the holland team to the two consecutive world cup finals,1974 and 1978
and endup at the other side of victory....
spain didn't even went to the final ever!!!(only once they get into semifinal stage....)
so very naturally a football lover really wish to see one of this deserved teams lifting the famous cup even over our favourite teams defeat....
so where comes our beloved poet John keats(whose tombstone carrying the heart melting words of
"Here lies One, Whose Name was writ in Water"!!! that much desperate he was when he met death at an early age of 25) in these football thoughts?
while thinking about this empathyfactor (in a sense sympathy factor,maybe) I can't resist the feeling to talk on my admiration on keats,dostaevsky,vangog and beethoven....
its true they all are genious enough to anyone can admired into,but my love and admiration doubled on them not only becuse of their matchless masterpieces, rather the tragic life they lead while delivering such gems.... knowing their struggles while living is make anyone to weep
ok,ok I don't want to elaborate and make my eyes wet on them....
I simply wish all the great football teams to perform well at FiFA 2010, especially the dutch and spanish.....
Anyway,my teams are argentina and brazil.... :)

ആത്മഹത്യ...

വീണ്ടുമൊരു പ്രശ്നം കൂടി;
അറിയാം ഇതും കടന്നു പോകുമായിരിക്കും...
പക്ഷെ,
കാത്തിരിക്കാനിനി വയ്യ!
വിട....

പാലക്കാടന്‍ കോട്ട! (ചരിത്രമുറങ്ങുന്ന സൌന്ദര്യ സ്മാരകം...)

ഒരു പാലകാടുകാരന്‍ എന്നതില്‍ അഭിമാനം തോന്നിപോയി ഇത്തവണ ഓണത്തിന് നാട്ടില്‍ പോയി വന്നപ്പോള്‍.... തകര്ത്തു പെയ്യുന്ന മഴയില്‍ എന്റെ നാടു വല്ലാതെ മനോഹരമായി തോന്നി... ഇന്നും ഇത്രയും പച്ചപ്പും നാടന്‍ സൌന്ദര്യവും കാത്തു വെച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന അധികം പ്രദേശങ്ങള്‍ കേരളത്തില്‍ തന്നെ കുറവാണെന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു... പാലക്കാടിനെ കുറിച്ചു വൈകാതെ തന്നെ ഞാന്‍ ബ്ലോഗില്‍ ഒരു കുരിപ്പെഴുതുന്നുണ്ട്...

[after all this globalization things happend,still my native palakkad,keep that charm of a country side...I really love when I went for my onam holidays there!kerala's very own monsoon makes it much more beautiful....I'll post a detailed account soon....]

വര അറിയാത്തവന്റെ വര!(something like an artwork)

ink and acryllic(2006)

ഡയറി (something like poetry_06)

മുന്‍ വര്‍ഷ ഡയറി
എന്നെ പരിഹസിച്ചു ചിരിക്കും;
കപടതയുടെ കൈപ്പാട് വീണ വരികള്‍ മാത്രം!

മുറിഞ്ഞ തിങ്കളും ,
മഞ്ഞില്‍ വിടര്‍ന്ന പൂവും,
എപ്പഴേ കരിഞ്ഞടര്‍ന്ന മുറിപ്പാടുകള്‍!

(2005_മറക്കാന്‍ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്ന ഓര്‍മ്മകള്‍ നിറഞ്ഞ പഴയൊരു ഡയറി ഓര്‍മ പെടുത്തിയത്!)

സമസ്യ പോലെന്റെ ജീവിതം..

മഴ പെയ്യുകയാണ് പുറത്തു;
അകത്തു വിയര്‍ക്കുകയും...

ഇനി കുടയെടുക്കാതെ,പുറത്തിറങ്ങാം!

നിറങ്ങള്‍ (something like poetry-04)

കറുപ്പിനിഷ്ടം വെളുപ്പിനോടാണ്;

വെളുപ്പിന് കറുപ്പിനോടും!...

വെളുപ്പു വെളുപ്പിനെയും,

കറുപ്പ്, കറുപ്പ് മാത്രവും

ഇഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടു തുടങ്ങുമ്പോള്‍

പ്രേമത്തിന് പ്രസക്തി

നഷ്ടപ്പെടും!
