Pasanga - A New age movie

One of the finest movie in the recent year, you cant forget this
'Pasanga'.

Children films in Kollywood are a rare occurrence. A film made for children has always remained a neglected genre in Tamil cinema.

Now director and producer, the trendsetter Sasikumar of Subramaniapuramfame and Pandiraj, the new director he is introducing through his Company Productions, have dared to venture in to this forbidden territory and make a children classic aptly titled Pasanga(Children).

It is perhaps the best ever children film produced in Tamil, on par with films like Taare Zameen Par. The saying 'Child is the father of the man' can be seen and experienced throughout the film and it touches your heartstrings sans melodrama or moral science classes.

Pasanga is a masterpiece, which Tamil cinema can be proud of, and should be compulsory viewing by all who support and love good cinema. It is a film about parents and children, about the kind of pressure we put on our kids, and it comes with a big heart and an important message. It is also about finding our true heroes.

A small film with a very big heart. Watch it, because gems like these are hard to find.

தபு ஷங்கர் கவிதைகள்

மௌனம்
அற்புதமான காதலை மட்டுமல்ல
அதை உன்னிடம் சொல்ல முடியாத
அதி அற்புதமான மௌனத்தையும்
நீதான்
எனக்குத்
தந்தாய்.

கோலம்
எதற்காக
நீ கஷ்டப்பட்டுக்
கோலம் போடுகிறாய்..?
பேசாமல்
வாசலிலேயே சிறிது நேரம்
உட்கார்ந்திரு, போதும்!

காசி ஆனந்தன் கவிதைகள்

உலகமைதி
மாந்த நேயம் பேசின அணுகுண்டுகள்
புறாக்களை பறக்கவிட்டன கழுகுகள்.
போராடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறது அமைதி.

எதிரிகளால் அழிக்கப்பட்டன எங்கள் காடுகள்
நிமிர்ந்தோம்
இன்று-போராளிகளின் நிழலில் மரங்கள்

புதைத்தாய் பகைவனே!
என் மண்ணை
எங்கே புதைப்பாய்?
