Tamil Friends: When it comes to Septemeber 11, How many of you could remember Bharathiyar ?

11th September is my son's birthday. So I never forget to remember our Mahaakavi on this day.

" தேடி சோறு தினம் தின்று

பல சின்னஞ்சிறு கதைகள் பேசி

வாடி துன்பம் மிக உழன்று

பிறர் வாடப் பல செய்கை செய்து

நரை கூடி கிழப்பருவம் எய்தி

கொடும் கூற்றுக்கிறையாகி மாயும்

சில வேடிக்கை மனிதரை போலவே

நானும் வீழ்வேன் என்று நினைத்தாயோ? "

Yes. அவர் வீழவில்லை. His powerful words will live forever.

P.S. - In the ninth std Tamil book (Samacheer Kalvi) his birthday has been wrongly given us 11/9 and his commemoration day as 11/12 which should be 11/12 and 11/9 respectively.

It shows that on September 11, Animals will become mad and kill Humans.

Bharathiyar episode is 80 years older than 2001 Twin Tower Episode. People tend to forget old. gain the Media also project only the recent episode. So it is natural for us to forge Bharathiyar. I am happy you reminded me.

It will be a fitting tribute to say a few words about him on his death anniversary.

Mahakavi Subramania Bharathiar was one of the greatest Tamil poets, a prolific writer, philosopher and a great visionary of immense genius. He was also one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian independence movement. His national integration songs earned him the title "Desiya Kavi" (National Poet). His patriotic songs emphasize nationalism, unity of India, equality of men and the greatness of Tamil language.

Bharathiar was born on December 11, 1882 in Ettayapuram, which is now part of Thoothukudi District. Bharathiar was educated at a local high school where his talents as a poet were recognized even at the age of 11. He had voracious appetite for learning ancient and contemporary Tamil literature and had gifted intellect to derive astonishing truths from ancient poems.

At the age of 22, he became a Tamil teacher at Setupati High School in Madurai and the same year he was appointed as Assistant Editor of a daily newspaper called "Swadesamitran". In 1906, he was editor of a weekly magazine called "India".

By 1912, Bharathiar was already a legend in South India and his political meetings were attracting multitudes of young patriots, ready to join the non-violent movement for attaining freedom from the British rule.

Bharathiar died on September 11, 1921, at the young age of 39.

The legacy of the poet however endures forever.

In chennai, Bharathiyar's house was decorated and so I was reminded. If not...I doubt it. And also they are telecasting "Bharathi" on Jaya tv at 4 pm. One of my favorite films :)

Nallodhor veenai seidhen. Adhai nalam keda puzhudhiyil eriva thundo.

Solldi siva sakthi, enai sudar migum arivudan padaithuvittai

Vallamai tharayo, indha maanilam payanura vazhavatharke

solladi siva sakthi, nila chumai yena vaazhndhida puriguvayo?

dhasaiyinai thee chudinum siva sakthiyai paadum nal agam ketean

nasaiaru manam ketean nitham navam ena sudar tharum uyir ketean

asaivaru madhi ketean ivai arulvadhil unak edhum thadai ulladho?

we remember Bharathiyar

to stand as much as instead of accepting each and every little thing that grow to be thrown to them. Why ought to all human beings learn Hindi leaving their language. each and every of the states have been like worldwide places on their very own before British Rule. the way it grow to be United as a one us of a does no longer mean relax of the country to absorb spite of it shoved directly to them. getting to grasp Hindi has no longer something to do with Patriotism or subculture. i grow to be raised in Chennai. To me something different than Tamil grow to be foreign places. i ought to narrate to the different South Indian Languages yet truthfully to no longer any North Indian Language. If I had to learn a foreign places Language, i might opt for English over Hindi bcos of glaring motives.

Only twin-tower was in my mind in the morning till I tear the sheet in daily calender.

The freedom fighters are gradually disappearing from our heart, since we fail to remember the value of 'liberty' and the 'sufferings of our ancestors, as slaves''.

The line of Bharathi, 'Nenju porukkuthillaye intha nilaiketta manitharai ninainthuvital'' wafts in my mind.

bharathiyar one of fav......

but i really forgot that....

me.....i remember...

Da f'ck is that?
