ஆனந்தம் ஆனந்தம்

I learnt to blog in Tamil today, hence this post.

Thanks to Narayanan for floating around a poetry contest and reviving my Kavidhai skills.

Thanks to Prabhu for giving me a pointer to "How to blog in Tamil"

I wrote this poem during my engineering days and it brings back fond memories of my time in SVCE. Needless to say, you may sing these lines to the tune of "Pachai Kiligal Tholodu" from Indian.

தந்தானானே தானானே ஆனந்தமே.........

பேனா பென்சில் கையோடு,
பாடப்புத்தகம் மடியோடு,
அம்மம்மா College என்றால் தொல்லை,
என் எண்ணத்தில் பாடம் மட்டும் இல்லை.

Engineering புத்தகத்தில் என்ன இருக்கு,
அட Mittal, Mathur, Millman எல்லாம்
அய்யோ சுத்த கிறுக்கு.

பட்டாம்பூச்சி கூட்டத்திற்க்கு பாடம் எதற்கு,
அட பாடித்திரியும் பறவைக்கிங்கே
பரிட்சையெல்லாம் என்னத்துக்கு.

பேனா பென்சில்...

தூக்கம் வந்தால் ஆனந்தம்,
கணவை தந்தால் ஆனந்தம்
ஈக்கள் மொய்த்து தூக்கம் கெட்டால்
இல்லை ஆனந்தம்.

Breakum Lunchum ஆனந்தம்,
கடைசி benchum ஆனந்தம்,
பாதி வகுப்பில் நழுவிச்செல்வது,
இன்னும் ஆனந்தம்.

தேர்வே ஓர் ஆனந்தம்,
தோல்வி பேர் ஆனந்தம்,
Arrearsல் குடியேரி
அதில் வாழ்வது ஆனந்தம் ஆனந்தம்.

பேனா பென்சில்...

  6. Hi,

    Just writing the poem in thanglish for the benefit of those who are not able to read the fonts / can't read tamil.

    Pena Pencil kaiyodu,
    Paadapputhagam madiyodu,
    Ammamaa college yendraal thollai,
    En ennathil paadam mattum illai.

    Engineering puthagathil enna irrukku,
    Ada Mittal, Mathur, Millman yelaam,
    Aiyo sutha kirukku.

    Pataampuchi kootathirkku paadam yetharkku,
    Ada paadithiriyum paravaikingey,
    Paritchai yelaam ennathukku.

    Thookam vanthaal aanandham,
    Kanavai thanthaal aanandham,
    Eekkal moithu thookam kettaal,
    Illai aanandham.

    Breakum Lunchum aanandham,
    Kadaisi benchum aanandham,
    Paadhi vaguppil nazhuvichelvathu,
    Innum aanandham.

    Thervey oraanandham,
    Tholvi peraanandham,
    Arrearsil kudiyeri,
    Adhil vaazhvathu aanandham aanandham.

  7. Lakshmi,
    I can understand. The song is pretty old by now. Infact even I had to somehow find my old poetry notebook to pen down these lines yet again :o)

    Sophia,
    Wow ! It would be a wonderful oppurtunity to meet up with people. I shall get in touch with Ravi and take an update from him.

    Thanks for the invite.

    And the english version is up on your request

  8. Nithya,
    Am from the 99 CSE batch, how about you ? Its been close to 6 years now and I have completely lost track of SVCE and SVCEans. Coincidentally, the night before the post was when I got back in touch with few of my friends from coll. So, in a way posting this poem was symbollic.

    JVC
    I don't know which one of them wrote Electron Devices... But an arrear in that subject always made me hate them ;o)

    Those are my favourite lines too :o)

  9. dude, t think it would have been better if you would post the meaning, rather than simply writing tamil in english...

    does no good for "T"illiterates like me :-)

  15. Silverine,
    Thanks a lot and you are most welcome. I really appreciate your time.

    Prabhu,
    Thank you very much. I thought fonts need to be downloaded for viewing posts in Tamil. You made it sound so simple. Maybe I should put that as a note everytime I write one in Tamil :o)

  16. hey gr8 so..u joining us tomorow

  17. Prakash,
    This is what I did :

    1. Downloaded an English to Tamil convertor s/w from here.

    Thanks to Shyam for the info.

    2. The software is pretty easy to use. If you wanna write தமிழ், just type Tamizh. And the instructions are pretty simple too.

    3. Once you have your Tamil stuff written, just right click, copy and paste it on your blog post / comment. It just works like a miracle.

    Hope this helps.

  18. Sophia,
    Yep. Spoke to Ravi sometime in the AN. Am told the venue is yet to be confirmed though it's gonna be somewhere close to Guindy. I would touchbase with him again tomo to the finer details. So, that pretty much summarises... I am joining you tomo :o)

  19. Nithya,
    Oh 2001 batch... Maybe I might have indulged in ragging ya at some point in time or the other... What say ?

    Now don't start off the SVCE thing as I could consume just about every possible space available. The Bus journey is what is still a memorable thing... Canteen (Thair saadham and saambaar saadham), Muthukarrupan, Interrupt (did they still call it that when u were in final year)... hmmm Those were the days !
