வால்வோவும் நீரோழுக்கும்...

தேனார் பூஞ்சோலையாமே திருவேங்கடம் ?
குலசேகரரே காணீர் நீரார்த் தார்ச்சாலை!

ஆம்- சென்னையில் ஒரு மழைக்காலம்!

It was, of course a Volvo!

I'd always loved Volvo.

That was perhaps the first time ever I hated one.

I had always loved my AT. As I sat down on that seat marked W11, I hated AT for the first time.

It was perhaps because Chennai got drenched in rain. 

Yeah, "Life After Life" was shedding tears, as I held it tight, getting it off my backpack.

That day was a real terrible one for me!

Everything I had along, wasn't just wet,  Literally, "DRENCHED"

I'm sure anyone new to Chennai,

would have found it hard to differentiate Coovam from the roads in Chennai.

Not so late did I realize there was a leakage from atop the windshield I was sitting beside.

"I'm not booking Volvo anymore", I said to myself

As I added, "I'm not going home for any reason if Mercedes runs out of seats."

"No snoozebus, no Volvo, not even Corona."

I make such silly and crazy resolutions pretty often.

No matter what, the Volvo only did me good.

I had a good night's sleep.

வழக்கத்திற்கு  மாறாய், அன்றைய தினம்
மழையின் நிமித்தம் தாமதமானது வால்வோ.
வால்வோவின்  ஜன்னல் வழி முதல் முறை, சூரியக்கதிர்  பார்த்தேன் .

ஆரல்வாய்மொழி குளியல் முடித்திருந்த  நேரம்.


மலையிடைப் பெய்திருந்த மழை:

"என்றோ ஒருநாள்  இடப்படும்
என்று

ஏதோ நம்பிக்கையில் தவம் தொடரும்
கிராமத்து
கிராவல் சாலையில்
கல் தடுக்கி
கால் இடறி
விழுந்தழுத
பக்கத்து வீட்டு
பால்வர்ணம் அக்காவின்
வருடாந்திர வெளியீடுகள் போல்

பறந்து திறிந்து
பாதை வழியில்
மலை  தடுக்கிச்
சிறகிடறிய
வெண்பஞ்சுப் பறவைகள்
 சிணுங்கின

- சாரல் என் ஜன்னல் நனைக்கிறது!"

So, now 'atheism' isn't a religion!

To make a point here, 
Making it clear "Atheism isn't a religion" since most of my friends keep asking the same stuff, 
Let me explain {If you're ready not to pretend that you didn't understand}

 
Take this situation: I'm listening to music in my portable phone. 
This action doesn't require a service provider, does it? 
Hence there is no SIM inserted in it, and is offline. 
A friend of my roomie wants to call him up for a long conversation, and that friend of my roomie has a special offer from his service provider of free calls within the same network. 
So, now my roomie asks me "Which service provider are you a client to? I really have to talk to this friend and it's important and urgent": 

Since I don't even have a SIM inserted, I tell him, "My fone is offline"
He doesn't get that, so I say, "You can't use this for calls, it's offline."
He gags saying, "Doesn't matter! Which network does offline come under? My friend can make a call on that if it falls under the same network he uses"
As I could sense his innocence, I say, "Pal, offline isn't the name of any operator, it is just the mode of your portable phone when you've no SIM inserted"
 

He thus REFUTES [ ;) ] me saying, "You're really crazy dude! Tell me you don't know! Offline must be an operator that comes under some bigger service provider network, you're not aware of!"
He also adds, before I put myself into a total silence, "How could it be so? You say 'offline' isn't an operator and it still shows your portable is offline"

I could hear something synonymous with, "How could it be so? Religions mean to believe in God, You say you don't believe in one and so you're an atheist. Thus, isn't atheism a religion?"
