Sigh

Thought I will start blogging with one of the oldest translations I made from Tamil. And maybe use the space for unleashing the creativity : )) Afterall, in the Net , no one knows who you are :))

And also to figure out folks who had read the tamil comics ' Irumbukkai Mayavi' ... Want to see one soul of that genre who would have wanted to attempt being invisible, by pushing the fingers into an electrical socket :)

And to find out from people whether , there is any writer in English who had done a series of ' Crime Investigation' stories , with a pair of guys in lead ( forget the Sherlock Holmes , Dr Watson types , apart from that )

Now to the poem.....


Deserted street will lengthen
Streetlights will be in a trance
Like an unwinking eye

Not only my heart and eyes
Even breeze will wait for her
Swinging the leaves , clothes
And as if it isn’t enough
Swinging my mind too.

If not for today
Would you not be coming one day

When you come
Don’t stumble on the way

My heart will be waiting In the middle of the street.

Dear SM,

This is in reference to the query that you have raised in TCU on the availablity of Irumbuk kai maayavi stories in Chennai.

Am afraid that you will not get any of the such vintage books in chennai or for that matter, anywhere else. However, there may be some BackLog's of the comics Classics issues featuring Irumbuk Kai Maayavi and the reprints such as Thavalai manidhargal may be available in Lion Comics office in Sivakasi. All you need to do is call 04562 - 272649 and ask for old comics which they have from year 2000.

there are some Steel Claw comics available for downloading in english and you can access that in:

you can always contact me, if the need arises in prince.viswa@gmail.com.

Thanks & Regards,

King Viswa.
