o chinnari chinukamma
nuvvu karigedhi eppudamma
o bangaru chilakamma
nuvvu egiredhi epudamma

neellaloni chepaki kaneellosthunnayani
cheppvaallu choopevaallu evarammaa
thana thadi theliyadhe thanakayinaa

oopiri aaviraayyi veguthunnadho
gundelo mabbule kammukunnavo
thelisedhela chinukammaki
vaakite vekuva vacchi vunnadho
kaatuke cheekatayyi aaputhunnadho
theledhela chilakammaki

ee janma khaidhevaru vesaaro
nee veedhi thalupevaru moosaro
kaalayina kadhapandhe thelisena
kanu reppa vidakundaa thelisena
melakuvane nidharanukune

oh chinnari ||

ye nammakam kantapaduthundhi
bathukante gathamanukune

oh chinnari ||

L'Amant or The lover

Watch it for the music, Cinematography, atmosphere and the poetic script.
Also read the book 'The lover' by Marguerite Duras.

Kite Runner----Brilliant! A must read.

Its the sunshine reflected through a teardrop.
Its the bright red of the ripe pomagranates.
Its the handful of dust from the motherland.
Its the melting of a first snow flake.

She

"She is a child to me, a child someone had put in a bulrush basket
daubed with pitch and sent downstream for me to fetch at the riverbank
of my bed."
