Mahe (Mayyazhi).

Dear all Mahians…,


Mahe Paalam and Mahe (Mayyazhi).



It is part of India, as well as of France.

It is part of Pondicherry as well as of Kerala.

It is in the sea, but with the river Mahe.

It is in the water, but on the shores.

It keeps ever two worlds for the people of Mahe,

On both sides of the river Mahe,

As Akkare and Ikkare…,

To both sides giving the same chance

To address each other.



************



Naturally, historically and culturally

Mahe Paalam and Mahe

Has got lots of distinguishing features.



It is the place from where, with its great French influence,

The great existential thoughts emerged and influenced

All literary and thinking world and process of Kerala

From late 1960s onwards, through early 1970-s and 1980-s.



Tagore park, a great land mark and attraction there,

Connecting Mahe-ians to the Arabian Sea of no barriers and boundaries,

And letting them think free beyond boundaries of nations and religions,

Letting them also to merge both their soul and body to make both the same.

Might have witnessed much of hot discussions and thinking processes,

Around and about the existentialism and other literary issues

Helping to develop great thinking and analyzing habits of Mahe-ians.



*************



Mahe Palam is a bridge not only in physical sense,

But also in its spiritual practical sense and effect.



It is the very central point to many aspects of life.



It is not only the place where one river merges with Arabian Sea,

From which might have Mahe (as Maha Azhi – Mayyazhi) got its name,

But also is a very beautiful place, where

Two main northern districts of Kerala join together to be one

And two states of Kerala and Pondicherry merge to be one,

Culturally, linguistically and geographically.



It is also the bridge helping a different kind of river

Flowing into Kerala to energize and refine Kerlaites

(Tellicherians and New-Mahians especially)

Enabling them to forget their sorrows and problems behind

Cutting short all their veils.



Mahe palam and Mahe (Mayyazhi) is beautiful geographically

With the presence of both river and sea beside it,

Making it to be like a dreaming child in the lap or cradle

Created and set by both river and sea.



It causes the presence of two states in one.

It is the place where harmony between the communities

Becomes the rhythm, rule and flow of life

Able to make its great festival

The festival of Church of Saint Theresa (Kaneesa Perunnaal)



Mahe Palam and Mahe (Mayyazhi reflects and represents

Two different versions of great Dravidian cultures

Bf Pondicherry and Kerala in one place.



It is an oasis of harmony and life within the desert.

An Oasis reflecting all the features and remnants

Of great Indian and French cultures.

DOWN THE STREAM REST AND STAY MORE WEIGHTED, COLORFUL & VALUABLE STONES.

While selecting the people for discussion,
Just don’t go only for the creamy and top.

Down the stream rest and stay
More weighted, colorful and valuable stones.
In silence, but more eloquent with and about life.

Just because, as you can simply imagine and know,
Up the stream or river or ocean,
Only the weightless with no core,
But hollow inside, less lively, and mostly dead
Come up and float, as creamy and posh.

And only the weightless and hollow inside
Can make big noise and sound.

Creamy and posh are they just for their noise and sound
And just for their political or organizational and money power and hold

Just because they are dead in their body, mind and vision.

Sound and noise they make are
The stinking smell of the dead bodies floating up

More weighted, colored and valuable stones are
Ever down the stream.
Living , dancing and interacting
With their down-to-earth experience, vision and viewpoint
For no organizational or religious or political affiliation in particular.

Those who float at the top are so,
Because they don’t own the weight
And the value of life, vision or viewpoint
Than that of pretension of balmed dead bodies,
Dressed by others, so in leadership,
Compromised, stinking hence, back-biting,
Changing their color and form.

We are afraid and pray
The dead bodies and its stinking
Not to hijack our good and pure atmosphere

FILL IN THE BLANK WITH SUITABLE WORD

Dear Milina and Pradeep,
Hearing your today’s early morning “My Tea Morning Show”....

“Fill in the blank with the suitable” is the phrase
We all remember and are very familiar with
From our very childhood onwards.
From our examination halls and its threatening question papers.

And, dear Pradeep and Milina,
This is the greatest question and challenge
One is and one will have ever to face in one’s life too.

Filling in the gap and blankness,
That appears in one’s life for one or other reason,
With appropriate and suitable.
To give and create meaning to the blank and gap.

Luckily, dear Pradeep and Milina, in our childhood,
We got the convenience of being given with brackets with options.

Coming to our young age, middle age or old age,
Especially when we are away from our roots,
Seeking and pursuing the meaning and means of life,
We all face the same challenge.
The challenge of filling in the gap and blank with suitable,
By ourselves, with no other’s help.

In and by our own way,
Giving and creating the options and meaning that are suitable to fill in.

By engaging ourselves to forget or to cover or to fill in
The blank and gap in life.

The greatest ever material as well as the spiritual challenge in any one’s life.

Fore sure, in terms of Expat’s life in Kuwait,
Here comes 98.4 U FM Radio in Kuwait.
Significantly filling in the gap and blank area in expat Malayalees and Indian’s life.
As suiting and as appropriate.
In time and place.
Making and causing the gap and blank area of expat’s life
To be more meaningful, colorful and enjoyable.
A great achievement by itself.
All the very best.
With regards,

Raheem

WELCOMING 98.4 U FM RADIO IN KUWAIT

True, the desert will look open.
But its openness is nothing but walls of prison.

So is a desert, anywhere, an open prison.

98.4 U FM Radio in Kuwait is a window given to this open prison.
Especially for Malaylees and to all those expats
Who are made to live closed in the openness.

98.4 U FM Radio is also opening the windows of
Deserted expatriate’s mind and vision,
Enabling them to breath into each other,
Interact with others, know other side of life
And to enjoy the most beautiful part and fruit of life, the music.

Hope this 98.4 U FM Radio will be able
To enter into all nooks and corners of Expat life in Kuwait
And will be able to familiarize itself
With all kinds of people in all categories and their life
To sort out their problems as different from their wishes and dreams.

Wishing all the very best to this 98.4 U FN
In running and conducting relevant and most valuable programs
Suiting to the place and people herein.

Looking brings in the relative truths. Seeing, one will see only the one.

(.... continued ....)

Confusion is when one has to look and try.

While seeing and knowing,
It is different.
It is only one.

**********

Seeing and knowing is
In totality.
For no confusion.

Mostly the poetic and philosophic (or any other) versions are
By looking (not seeing in totality)
From distance,
From his corner and angle.

As an effort.
As trying, to get tired.
Pumping in the fear
And feel of insecurity.

Sincerity and selflessness
Could be their only qualifications
To make the same their effort great.

*************

So, one has to see.
Than just look.
Than just try and get tired.

***********

Looking brings in the differences
And relative truths many.
Religions and paths different,
With feel of difference.
So, intolerance and fight therewith.

*************

Seeing,
One will see
Only the one.
The totality.

The one that will accommodate all relative truths
Of all different looks
From different angles
And its difference.


There,
All will be made to be one and only.

To fear and be afraid of is easy.

To fear and be afraid of is easy.
Need to be at distance
And need to be unseeing and ignorant.

To love and be fond of is tough
Need to be near
And need to be seeing and knowing.

Believe,
When you can’t see and know.

With fear and confusion.

**********

God or no-God I see and know,
I love and embrace,
Can’t be different
Just because I don’t follow
The way religions stipulate to believe.

God or no-God is same.

With a difference
That I see and know him,
Loving and embracing,
Not to believe
The way religions want.

From distance,
With blindness and ignorance.

( .... to be continued...)

Your helplessness is your power

Your ignorance about yourself is
Your knowledge about God.

That your ignorance is enough to make you
Knowledgeable about God...
To realize God....

Your helplessness is your power
To make you aware of power and helpfulness of God....

What else would you need to satisfy you...?

*************


What more clarity, my son, would you need
To completely and peacefully submit
For no more questions and answers,
For no more complaints and requirements,
For no more wishes and desires of rewards and prizes
And for no more fears of threats and tortures?


**************


With your real feel that you are with God
You can never be away from him.


****************


Then, what more would you need to wish and worry ?
And of what would you have to be afraid ?

God can never be away from you....

No chance to look for a review or revision.

A seed with great potential
Of big tree of universe.

A man with great potential
Of God, the whole.

*************

Great magic of life, God,
Working and functioning through you,
Making you too to be a tissue
Or a cell or DNA.

Cell and DNA of great universe.


************


God or life prevails
And will prevail.

All other talks and walks are
Just illusory.

Efforts, destined to work
As the works of God,
Lead or mislead
Guide or misguide.


*************


No language can depict
Wonders of this universality

And no one can explain
His feel about and for life and God
When he really happens to contemplate and feel.

****************

Writings and drawings in DNA.

Writings and engineering of milky ways.

Well done and well protected.

No chance to look for a review or revision.

That much organized and coordinated.

Life prevails even in gaps and empty space

Being unaware of own blood circulation,
Heart beating, lungs breathing,
Hair growing, brain working....
And how each of billions of tissues,
Cells and DNAs
Are designed and put in action!!!!!

Nothing to say

God or life prevails
And will prevail.

Even in the gaps and empty space
Where our apparent sight don't see to read
Any letter or word or paragraph.

God or life prevails
And will prevail.


Even in those gaps
Which help us read letters as letters,
Words as words and paragraphs as paragraphs.

God is nothing but a toy in the hands of life

Worrying and scratching will not solve.

Rather, it will worsen the wound
Or will lead one to lose his path.

Worries and wishes are
On the same side of life.

Or, for say, they are the two sides
Of the same coin (side) of life

The side of ignorance.
Or of being trapped in the periphery.

**************

Things are, even otherwise,
To be left to life's cycle,
Gods’ great and magical function.

A toy in God’s hand.

And God is nothing but a toy
In the hands of life.

***********

Being loyal and sincere to one's own conscience and soul,
One can't be but undressed and uncovered.

Nude and naked in front the totality, the truth, God.

Talking with the great strength of
Helplessness and ignorance.

Tight grasp of strong embrace

I'M THROUGH AND BY YOU. LIKE YOU'RE THROUGH AND BY ME


Sitting and sleeping with God,
Chatting and playing with him for no role,
Sometimes, nay, mostly, embracing him
In my mornings, evenings and nights,
Both while asleep and awake,
I am unable to ask God for anything.

Neither for me nor for any other.

And, for instance,
If I ever happen or try or tend to ask,
He, for sure, thunders at me
With childish love and anger:

“Am I not like you,
Not to know less than you?
Are you not like me,
Not to know more than me?”

God takes pride in him, and really boasts.

“I am doing only what you know and do, raheem.

And I am giving only what you know and give, raheem.

I am by and through you
LIKE you are by and through me.

Neither less nor more.”

How can one ask for more or less
While he is in tight grasp of strong embrace?
