  Wow OISG,
  I enjoyed your punch line
  "Indraya "Flat culture" il Veetil "Attached" aga irupathu "Bathroom" mattumthan".
  BTW, please enlighten this language arivili does "Seimai " mean far?

  VP avarkaLe,

  Like most ofyour poems, the flow of thoughts, the buildup of theme and the practicality of expectations and frustrations are well brought out.
  As OSIG had suggested, only the beaten track needs to be looked into.. is it deliberate that the nostalgia of the past is forcibly highlighted to show the difference?
  Am i looking into other dimensions of life as well?
