I endeavour to maintain a clutter free, simple reading environment that takes just a few minutes to read a complete story. This blog is free for all. One way you could 'repay' me if you like the story you have read is to refer others to this blog and the specific story. I would appreciate that kind of word-of-mouth (or its modern equivalent - email, link, Facebook posting) advertising, since it is the best kind. Kindly do to the extent you can without feeling uncomfortable or like a spammer.

Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy reading!

Veeranin Thai


Anru, manne nee en kann aanaai
Inru piragu, en kanne nee mann aanaai

Unnudan sera oru naal naanum mann aaven
Piragu unnai sumakka naan meendum penn aaven

Anru varai kaathiru en Kanne
En Kannai unnidum oppadaikiren Manne

Meendum oru janmatthil nee en aavaaio Kanna?
Indha janmam pol indha mannai kapaaio Manna?


ENGLISH TRANSLATION:


A Hero's Mother

Once, Oh clod of earth, you became my dearest
Today, my dearest, you have returned as earth

One day, I too will become earth to join you, my son
Then to bear you once more, I will again become a woman

Wait until then my darling
Oh Earth, I am giving you my dear for safekeeping

In another life, will you be mine?
what will you be, my sweetheart?
Like in this life, to protect this land,
My hero, will you do your part?
