Pazhanisamy went to Vasantha's place next day to bring Poorna back home and also to invite Vasantha for kula deiva vazhipadu trip.  "Vaa anna, epdi irukka?" "Naan nalla irukken ma, nee epdi irukka?" "Naanum nalla irukken anna" "Enga en marumagala aala kaanum?" "Maadiyula irukka anna, irunga koopiduren, Poornaaa...Poornaaa" "Itho varen ma..." Poorna came downstairs and surprised to see Pazhanisamy there. "Vaanga mama, nalla irukeengala?" "Naan nalla irukken ma, enna nee veetula illathathu konjam veede verichodi pona madiri irukku, eppo ma, namma veetuku vara pora?" Poorna fell silent.  "Ennadi mama kekuraru illa? Ethanai naalaiku amma koodaye irukkalanu idea? Unakku inimel athu thaan veedu, kilambu kilambu" "Iru Vasantha, athukunu yen avala apdi thorathura, oru mukkiyamana vishayam sollitu, apdiye Poornava kootitu pogalanu thaan vanthen" ...

Poorna felt relieved so much after sharing everything with her friend Deepa. She bid farewell to Deepa after the dinner. Before going to sleep, Poorna was thinking about what Deepa said. "As Deepa said, Ravi may not ever realize what he has done wrong. But how that is fair? How can I move on in my life as if nothing happened? Wouldn't he think "Poorna-ve ellathaiyum maranthutta, naamalum santhoshama irukkalanu" ninaikka maatana? Isn't it like a free ticket for him to move on in his life? Enakku throgam pannitu avan sandhoshama vaazhalama? Aana avana pazhi vaangurenu kilambi ennala enna panna mudinjuthu? Onnum panna mudiyalaye, but athuku karanam naan Magesh vishayathula divert anathu thaan, avan vishayathula naan yen divert aanenu enakku innum puriyala, avan mela enakku irukkarthu anba, illa verum attraction thaana? Ithu varaikum enna vera yaarume attract panninathu illaye Ravi thavira? Apdina ivankitta mattum epdi vizhunthom? Puriyala, but oru vishayam unmai a...

Poorna was sitting stone faced, but couple of tear drops were ready to roll down her cheeks. Her friend Deepa was confused, sad and in shock most of the part. Both of them didn't say anything to each other.  "Hello Madam, enga poganunu sollave illaiye?" Deepa looked at Poorna, there was no response from her. Deepa replied "Pakkathula engayavathu koil iruntha anga drop pannidunga please".  They got dropped near a big Shiva temple in 5 mins. Since it was a pradhosham day, there was special pooja going on and it was full of crowd. But all of them were gathered around the main karpagraham to have the darisanam. Deepa took Poorna to a place where it was less crowded, sat under a tree. Still there is no response from Poorna.  After much deliberation, Deepa slowly broke the silence. She held Poorna's hands and asked "Enna aachu di?" No response. "Pesu Poorna, enna aachu sollu?" Deepa shaked Poorna trying to bring her ba...

It has been two weeks since Magesh left to Kodaikanal. Poorna extended her stay at Vasantha's place for few more days. Pazhanisamy called her and enquired her why she didn't come back. "Onnum illa mama, amma-voda irukanunu thonuchu, athaan". "Ok ma, vera inga onnum unakku problem illa illa?". "Athellam onnum illa mama" The real reason is Poorna tried her best to avoid Ravi for a reason that she cannot pinpoint exactly. Magesh also didn't question why she is staying at Vasantha's place. He already overheard the conversation between Ravi, Sudha and Azhagu about Poorna eating and how Ravi insulted her. So he thought it is good Poorna stays with Athai as she will be happy there.  Magesh and his colleagues were estimating and trying to reserve several acres in mountain to build the reservoir. It is not easy as it is mountain area and not a flat surface and they had to be creative to use the space. So they decided, they will build t...

Ravi stared at Poorna with so much hate and disgust. Poorna also stared at him back, but she couldn't last, something bothered her, his hate and disgust filled eyes disturbed her. She walked away from him. "Evlo kozhuppu iruntha ennai apdi murachu paappan? Thimiru thaana? Naan enna thappu panninen? Cha ithenna nammala naamale sandhega padura madiriyana oru kelvi, thappu panninathellam avan, kozhuppu eduthu poi avan muracha naan yen feel pannanum? Aana, aana....avlo kovamum, aruvaruppuma paakura alavuku naan ethuvume pannalaiye!?" Poorna's thoughts went back and forth, wondering how could Ravi hate her so much.  It was Wednesday night, it has been three days since Magesh left to Kodaikanal. Poorna was wondering when Magesh will be back again, but she didn't want to ask that question to him. She never asked him before, so she felt embarrassed to ask this now. "What if he thought something bad about me? Ivlo naal illama ippo mattum enna thideer paasam-nu a...

They say between love and hate there is only a thin line. Sometimes that thin line may become cloudy and make you blind to the boundaries. You no longer know the difference whether it is love or hate, no longer know the difference whether it is good or bad, no longer know the difference whether it is moral or immoral, right or wrong. But what you may have perceived as right may be perceived as wrong by someone, what you have perceived as love may appear to be hateful to someone else. And in the quest of understanding the difference between one or other, we may inadvertently become truth seekers. We want to know how could it happen, why did it happen, etc. Because often, if not always, we can accept even something horrible if we know why did it happen. If we know the reason, we can make sense of a betrayal, loss, love or hate, we can make sense of our feelings. So it is not always the action that makes us sad, but it is not knowing the reason behind that action more than the action. ...
