What to Write?

This is a Poem, I wrote a long time ago, about what to write. Irony!

What to Write

My pen, pleading me to write,

My mind thinking over it,

About what can I write,

I am confused about it.

I am not glad now,

Neither sad I am,

But willing to write now,

On what... Not sure I am.

What can I write about,

Which should be useful enough,

My mind is thinking about,

But on nothing, I got enough.

O God, guide me through this path,

And get me out of this pain,

And show me the right path,

Which would let out men's pain.

Why this Kolaveri Di in Tamil

Lyrics of "Why this Kolaveri Di" or "Yaen indha kolaveri di?"


Ae, Pasangala, Naa paaduraen paatu..
Kaadhal tholvi paatu, dappa paatu..


Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Raagam seri..

Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Apdiye vaasi..

Yaen indha kolaveri ... adi..

Dhoorathula Nila irukku, Nila niramo vella,
Vella pinpulam iravu iravu, Iravin niramo karuppu..

Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..

Vella tholu ponnu ponnu, Ponnu idhayam karuppu,
Kannum kannum parkum podhu, En edhirkaalam irundupodhu..

Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..

Mama kurippu eduthuko, apdiye kaila norrukuthini eduthuko,
Pa Pa Pa Ppaan- Pa Pa Pa Ppan- Pa pa pa ppaan pa pa ppan,

Sariya vasi..

Kalakal maama, aarambikalam.. one, rendu, moonu, naalu,

Semaya raagam mathura maama.
Seri maama, Ippa shrudhi maathrom..

Glass in my hand.. Tamil mattumdhan..

Kaila tamlar, tamlar-la madhu, kannu poora kanniru
Gaali vaalka, ponnu vandha, vaalka podhu pinnala,
Anbe Anbe endhan Anbe, Yenakku illa un anbe,
Needhan inga ippovedhan, Venum yenakku anbe,
Kadavuley na saavuraeney, magilchiya ava eppadi,
Indha paatu kadhal tholvi pasangalluku, vera vali illa namakku..

Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..
Yaen indha kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di..

Who is Randy Alstone?

Well, I am Randy Alstone. But it isn't my 'given'(by parents) name.

My Real name is Kannan. My parents had a reason for choosing that name. My dad was kind of a devotee of Lord Krishna, so he wanted “Krishna” to be the name. But my mother suggested ‘Kannan’ instead, as she was an ardent lover of 'Tamil' language and she didn't want the Sanskritic presence in my name. Thus the story of 'Why I was named Kannan'.

But that is not the cynosure here. The focal point here is the name ‘Randy Alstone’.

Let’s dig up that story.

I was a crazy fan of Wrestling in my teenage years, and in WWE I liked Randy Orton the most. In the field of Bodybuilding or in Hollywood, I was a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Randy Orton’s finishing move was called ‘RKO’, abbreviation for Randal Keith Orton. So I wanted myself to be known as ‘RKA’ which expands as Randy Kannan Arnold, incorporating ‘Randy’ from Randy Orton and ‘Arnold’ from Arnold Schwarzenegger. But later, I realized that Randy Kannan Arnold was not that good. So I opted to have ‘Kevin’ instead of ‘Kannan’ and ‘Alstone’ in the place of ‘Arnold’, thus keeping the moniker “RKA” still intact. For more effect and uniqueness, I then replaced ‘Kevin’ with “King”.

So, now ‘RKA’ means Randy “King” Alstone, but I can be simply called Randy Alstone.

That’s it for now..
