Hmmmmm.... its 2.30... and still 3 hrs to go home.... and a load of testing to be done yet :(
Anyways was listening to ARR's Vellai pookkal... from Kannathil Muthamittal and now is a good time to try translating it...

Let the pristine flowers bloom anew
Let the magnificient dawn usher in peace
Let the golden sun light the earth
Let the flowers wake up rejuvenated
Let the children wake up in their mothers warmth
Let the glorious dawn alight
In the smile of every child.

Would the music of the winds
And the thunder of the rains
Ever match the depths of silence?
Would a million songs and mere words
Ever equal the power of a few tears?
Where the child beckons you
Would you not ascend the skies, oh moon?
Where the wars have fled humanity
Would not the doves sing the music of peace???

The lyrics is one of my favs.However I try, I dont think that I can capture the essence as beautifully as its in Tamil... as in the language it was written... I remember the days in school when I attempted learning Bengali to read Gitanjali in Bengali...Maybe its time my mom sends me my Bengali in 30 days book!!!!
