[chai-en-kaadhale]

there is a point about society to be made here

[thecrazyinktrovert]

Aditha Karikalan and Nandhini are the peak "Poraney Poraney" couple. I will not accept criticism on this.

"Poraney Poraney kathoda thoothalapola Poraney Poraney povaamathaan Poraney"

"Poraley Poraley kathoda thoothalapola Poraley Poraley povaamathaan Poraley"

Translation : There he goes! moving away from me, like the rain droplets with the breeze, There he goes! He leaves reluctantly from me.

"Paruvam, thodangi aasavachen, Illaadha, saaamikum poosavachen Mazhayil, nenanja kaatha pola, Manasa neyum nenachuputta."

Translation: My desires began from my teens, and I pled to even non-existent deities like the breeze wetted by the rains, you pleasantly soak my heart with memories now.

"Kennathu nelava naanirundhen, Kalla erinju kolapiputta Unna paarthu pesayila Rendaam murayaa kutha vachaen"

Translation: Was like a calm reflection of moon in a well The calmness disrupted by your pebble now When I speak with you I blossom once again, very well.

"Ada manja kelangae unna nenachi nenachi dhinam Manasukulla vachi pootikitten Un pinju viral pathicha manna eduthu naan Kayathuku poosokitten"

Translation: Hey you yellow turmeric root, I keep reminiscing each day And keep you safely ensconced in my soul I collect the earth caressed by your tender toes To smear as comfort to my bruises.

I took the lyrics and translation from the net. See, I'm not a Tamilian, I don't even know Thamizh, but the minute I heard Poraney Poraney, I thought of these guys!

Oh, what I'd give to learn Thamizh. Anyways, I'll go finish my assignments while some of you (i hope) cry over this :)

ALSO SOMEONE VOLUNTEER TO TEACH ME THAMIZH IN MARCH AFTER MY BOARDS PLEASE-

I WANNA LEARN THE LANGUAGE SO BAD BUT DONT KNOW WHERE TO START T_T

Vēṭkai (Part -2)

Third Person POV

'Children, please stop running' a soft voice said to the hyperactive kids making their parents reach old age very quickly.

'Arun! Kundavai! listen to your mother!' a strong voice shouted at his beloved kids who froze in their spot and giggled at their father's antics to make them obey. But it worked, as they ran towards their heavily pregnant mother and hugged her belly.

'You should be resting' said the man and smiled softly at his wife with so much love.

'Well, of course, I should be as you are the one who made me heavily pregnant for the third time' She said with a smirk. and the kids again started to play with each other.

'Well you were not complaining when I made you pregnant' He whispered to her which resulted in him being whacked at his chest for being profound in front of their children.

They both laughed and she laid her head against his chest. As she traced patterns at the top of his shirt she stared at the place where there is a huge scar that sits on top of his left chest area, which is visible and can be peeked through the shirt.

Memories rushed towards her and she still remembered the day it happen just like yesterday.

Nandhini POV

A huge gasp left my mouth and my eyes opened up only to be blinded by lights. All the events that had happened flashed through my mind and I abruptly get up to see where I am.

'Shh! Take it easy. Don't get up too fast' A voice said while holding me. I am not sure what they are saying but my trembling self said to be calm. But my mind went into a frenzy again thinking of ilavarasar Karikalan, and he is nowhere to be seen.

'கரிகாலரே! எங்கே இருக்குறீர்கள்?'(Karikalar! Where are you)My voice started to get louder as I whipped my head right and left, the more I search the more scarier I got. This place is weird and filled with things I can't understand.

'Karikalan? Is the one who was with you?' An elderly woman in front of me asked, she looks divine and had this sense of calmness towards her. But I still can't understand what is she saying. Am I a different kingdom? That couldn't be possible cause the last thing I remember being fallen off the cliff and holding on to my love. How am I even alive? But I can here her saying Karikalan's name so she might have known him so I nodded my head hoping I got what she asked me right.

'You can understand me, right? ok let me try in Tamizh, Unga per enna?' Her words made me tilt my head, I can partially understand the last bit she spoke. Was it Tamizh? but not exactly the same. But I can get from that that she is asking my name.

I pointed at me and said 'எந்தன் பெயர் நந்தினி ஆகும் ' (My name is Nandhin)I said hoping she got it and she did. So I wanted to ask her about Karikalar.

'கரிகாலர் எங்கே? அவரை நான் காணவேண்டும்'(Where is Karikalar? I want to see him) At this moment I am desperate to know whether he is safe or not. But the look on the face of the woman before me changed. As she tried to comprehend what I told her.

'shhh, shh, ok ok,' She said and tried to action me to calm down, and I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my stomach only to check that the wound is stitched up, it was killing me. Before I ask again I saw an elderly man walking inside, who looks muscular and tall. He doesn't look like a person from Chola Desam, definitely, we are in some other kingdom. But it's a good thing if so, as here we at least have some time before anyone knows who we are.

'Oh, you are awake! How are you feeling' Again with the language I can't understand, what is it!! My confusion made him quickly ask the same thing in somewhat Thamizh which I understand partially.

'Neenga 2 varama ah coma la irukeenga, you should take rest' His words are jumbled for me. 2 varam?

As if they can understand my feelings they nodded their heads. They asked to sit me on a chair with wheels, woah and it can move. It's so strange but I am glad that I don't have to walk as the pain when I felt while standing up was so intense. As they went from one room to another and end up in a room that was similar to mine. There he was in the middle of the bed sleeping. With their broken Tamizh they explained to me that he was also in a coma for the past two weeks and hope will be waking up soon.

I just sat next to him and held his hand close to my chest and prayed to Krishna just asking him to help him. Help my Prince.

Three weeks later

It's been three weeks since I woke up in this strange place, over this period I learned that the elderly couple whose names are (Bala and Shubha) saw us injured at the bottom of what they called Kolli malai, As they are both local physicians and help poor people around the native are they made sure to take us to their home. Through them, I learned that currently, it's the year 2013 and that news made my head spin. As I see them as my parents cause of the way they treated me I entrusted them with my identity. But it was very difficult cause they don't understand my pure Tamil but we came up with a pattern and I am learning their language as well. And also it made them stop informing the Police cause they think that would be best for us until we come up with a plan.

As they don't have any children they are glad that they have someone in the house as the age as their children if they had one.

For the past these weeks I sat next to him, my love hoping that he wake up soon, but each day passed with no improvement. But Appa Bala says to not lose hope.

'Aazhi Mazhai Kannaa

Ondru Nee Kai Karavel

Aazhiyul Puku

Muganthu Kodaarththeri

Oozhi Mudhalvan Uruvampol

Meikaruthu

Paaliyanth Tholudaip

Padpanaban Kaiyyil

Aazhipol Minni

Aazhipol Minni

Valampuripol Nindrathirnthu

Thaazhaathey Saarngam

Uthaitha Saramazhaipol

Tears slipped from my eyes and my lips tremble, I just don't know what else I should do. I closed my eyes and sang those again and again. Suddenly I left someone touching my cheeks. My eyes flew open to see Karikalan now wiping my tears off and smiling at me. I couldn't stop my tears I just never thought I would see this day, hoping we would be together.

Vaazha Ulaginil

Peithidaai Naangalum

Maargazhi Neeraada

Magizhnthelo Rembaavaai'

'ஒருவழியாக நீ எனக்காக ஒரு பாடல் பாடிவிட்டாய்'(After all this time, you have finally sang for me) His words made me laugh.

A few months later

Karikalan had a very hard time for the first few weeks to live this new life in this new era. He couldn't believe that there is no Chola desam and that they were defeated long back. His anger and cries worried Bala and Shuba but they tried their best to make us comfortable. We are not sure how we can repay them.

Currently, we are in Thanjai as now it comes under Tamilnadu and the country they call is India.

'இச்சிறப்பான கோயிலை எழுப்பியது எம் தமையனா?'(Is it really my younger brother was the one who made this beautiful temple?)Tears fell from his eyes as he traced Arunmozhi's name which was mentioned as Raja Raja Cholan. He doesn't want to leave cause this is the place that was made by his brother.

A year later

Right now we are getting comfortable in this place, we tried to visit Kadambur but nothing helped us to go back, so we rested the case and accepted that here we live, We have also been customed to technology and we are so fascinated.

After nearly a year later discovering us in a tragic state, Bala and Shuba made sure to get us IDs which they use here to identify themselves.

It was hard but they had some influence. We also learned modern Tamil along with English to communicate. We both were healed and in good health now. Karikalan started working in a nearby school as a martial teacher and I conduct a singing class. Mostly they are thanking my Krishna who guided us to this life.

Sometimes I get fright that all these are just a mere dream and I will be waking up to reality. But if it was a dream then I don't want to wake up at all.

Three years later (2017 - almost 2018)

It was that windy night Karikalan asked me to marry him. At first, I don't know whether I should say yes or no. As I am already a married woman and it was considered a shame back from where we came from. But in reality, we are thousands of years into the future and it doesn't matter now.

With a peak in a cheek and caress to his chin I sealed my lips to his, answering his question without a word. That night turned into one of the most beautiful nights when we have become one together. We do not know whether it is the wind or the smell of the sand or the calmness inside the house where Shuba and Bala went for a vacation leaving us alone or just the desperation of wanting to feel the feeling of being touched by love.

His strong arms caged me and lifted my hips and meet me at the right spot each time. Moans erupted throughout the room making it sound like a melody of love. Throughout our love making we didn't look away from each other, nor we can.

At the final snap of the hips, my vision got white and his lips sealed mine drinking away my muffled moans. We both are full of each other.

And it continues way more than once. As we got married a few months after, Karikalan made sure we mate like bunnies in a mating season and made sure I got pregnant and I did.

10 Months later

With heavy breaths leaving my mouth and sweat building up, it was then our first baby, our beautiful baby boy came to this world. As others laid him on top of my breast tears of joy fell down. All the pain I felt doesn't matter now and I will go for thousand times again and again if needed.

We know what we are going to name him and KArikalan asked me about the name I would definitely want him to have the name of the most generous, powerful warrior/King who ever lived, Arunmozhi.

'வாழ்க பல்லாணடு எம் இளவரசே அருண்மொழி'(Long live the prince, Arunmozhi) Karikalan sang and I smiled at the scene to capture it on my memory forever.

A year later

It was the end of 2019 and we welcomed our second child, our baby girl who we named Kundavai. Yes even though I had some spats with real Kundavai I always admired her and what else I can ask in a girl who can be filled with knowledge, administrative thinking, and beauty as this world has never seen.

And yes, Karikalan couldn't help wanting to mate again and again. God, I am not sure how this man ever lived without having it for most of his life back then.

Present day - 2023

Third Person POV

Nandhini let out a giggle after thinking about how their life turned into heaven and how their family is shaping up.

She lightly kisses up the scars that sit on top of Karikalan's chest as he kissed her head.

'So what we are going to name the one which looks like will be popped out any day' He asked and gently massaged her hips. A silent moan left Nandini's lips as the sensation felt wonderful.

She smiled and thought, She really wanted to carry the name of her mother, the name Vallavarayan Vanthiyathevan mentioned. And she has a feeling that this one also be a girl.

'How about Mandakini' She answered to which Karikalan smiled and nodded.

'But we still have to have one more so we can name him Vanthiyadevan' He said and wiggled his eyebrow.

Arunmozhi who is currently five years turned around as he heard the name he always loved. His father always mentioned his friend Vallavarayan Vanthiyadevan.

'Are we going to have Vanthiyadevan also? Yes!!' The child laughed and hugged his sister who currently didn't understand what it is at the tender age of 3 1/2 but laughed along with her brother.

@vibishalakshman  @thatacademic @thelekhikawrites 

They have it all and they also have parent figures who made sure to help them on every step. As the family enjoyed it appears to be the start of the Chola bloodline that again will raise to his power one day. One can hope, can't we?

Reunion of 80s Tamil Stars: A Nostalgic Celebration for Tamil New Year!

When reminiscing about the golden era of 80s Tamil cinema, a rush of iconic names floods the mind. Among them, the luminaries like Khushbu Sundar, Suhasini, Lissy, and Mohan, along with others, shine brightly as the embodiments of an unforgettable epoch in Tamil film history. Recently, these legendary stars came together in Chennai to celebrate Tamil New Year, evoking nostalgia and fond memories for fans and industry insiders alike.

In a heartwarming reunion captured in a photograph, the timeless charm of these stars illuminated the occasion. Suhasini, sharing the delightful moment, expressed, "This is US. Thamizh puththaandu with our 80’s gang. Friends for life," encapsulating the enduring bond shared by the group. Khushbu, echoing the sentiment, added, "Forever," emphasizing the everlasting camaraderie among them.

Joining the gathering were other illustrious figures of the era, including Rahman, known for his memorable roles in films like Ponniyin Selvan, and Poornima Bhagyaraj, a prominent leading lady of her time. However, stealing the spotlight was the beloved actor Mohan, who is set to make a triumphant return to the silver screen alongside Tamil superstar Vijay in the highly anticipated film, "The Greatest of All Time." Mohan's comeback, alongside fellow actor Prashanth, marks a significant moment for fans who have long awaited their return to cinema.

For Suhasini, sharing glimpses of cherished moments with her peers is not uncommon. She frequently treats her followers to nostalgic snapshots from her illustrious past, transporting them back to an era when she was one of the most sought-after actors in the industry. Just weeks ago, Suhasini delighted fans by sharing a picture with Y Vijaya and Rajitha, recreating a pose from one of their classic films.

While Suhasini continues to leave her mark in cinema, both in Tamil and Telugu industries, with recent projects like "Mr. Perfect" and her directorial venture in Amazon Prime Video’s "Putham Pudhu Kaalai" anthology, her reunion with fellow stars serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of 80s Tamil cinema. As fans celebrate this nostalgic gathering, they eagerly anticipate the upcoming projects that will once again showcase the talent and charisma of these iconic stars on the silver screen.
