"Sometimes we don't need words. Rather, it's words that need us. If we were no longer here, words would lose their whole function. They would end up as words that are never spoken, and words that aren't spoken are no longer words.? Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

The board announced Global securities and the red arrow guided raman to the right corridor and taking a left,he entered by opening one of the double glass doors and the receptionist looked at him " Can i help you.sir?"

" Thank you.I have an appointment with mr.devarajan.My name is raman."

The receptionist gave him a pleasant,standard smile that raman imagined was stuck on her face from morning to evening and looking away,he wondered with just an hint of villainy,if the smile was stuck in her face even when she was fast asleep.

Placing the phone back on its cradle,the receptionist looked at raman " sir,the boss has asked you to wait here ."

Raman thanked her and then the inner glass doors opened and raman turned to see the tall and imposing figure of retired dig devarajan,now the head of global securities walk towards him with hands outstretched.

Raman bowed from his waist with his arms held loosely by his side " Sensei" and devarajan bowed too and whispered in reply " Gakusei" and then both master and student looked at each other and devarajan embraced him with great affection " How you are my boy?"

Raman " as well as can be."

" Come,come for we have a lot to catch up to do" and looking at raman " i hope you don't have any other office work for the evening,do you?"

Raman hesitated just for a second and then " No sir."

The huge photo of the late chief minister MGR pinning a medal on devarajan's chest dominated his cabin and it could not and would not be missed and seeing raman looking at it " Some things like blowing your own trumpet has to be done for running a business."

Looking at the photo of himself with mgr " Raman,many of my clients who walk in here many a time seem unsure about taking my services for the charges are pretty steep but this photo helps seal the deal and brushes away their doubts and i must admit that it is a great marketing ploy."

" Sir,i am pretty damn sure that this photo is just a tip of the iceberg and if your charges are steep then it is a guarantee that the quality of service must be pretty damn high too."

Pausing for a second,raman slightly hesitant " Is it true that you pay your employees more than what you earned when you retired as a DIG."

Devarajan nodded " to a certain extant raman but then the world was different when i retired fifteen years ago and pay scales were pretty low.But today my grandson earns more in his job with a startup company than what i got when i retired.But then,prices have gone up through the roof and even a large salary will not suffice and in most cases it is imperative that both husband and wife work to live a decent life and work harder if they plan for a child."

Raising his hands in prayer " Thank god i am done with that raman and now i live a comfortable and cushy life and all i do is dish out advice and suggestions and give out directions to my people."

Then picking up the intercom,he pressed a button " Two coffees please and some cookies,the honey and oats ones" and looking at raman " It is still coffee right and i am right about the cookies too,right" and raman nodded with a smile and sank back into the leather chair.

The phone on the desk rang and devarajan " raman,excuse me" and picked up the phone and began talking,while raman's eyes ran over the walls of his old judo master.

MANY YEARS AGO-FLASHBACK

When raman had joined the dojo near t.nagar,devarajan had been the president of the tamilnadu judo association and also ran three dojos through his son and the charges were next to nothing.

Raman's natural powers of observation,patience,evaluation before making a move only helped his budding judo skills and one sunday while he was practicing with a few students,devarajan had dropped in to do some inspections and raman caught his eye.

Raman had no clue as to the skill levels that his dojo owner possessed and the sparring had started as a small thing.But then master and student raised their levels to their fullest and just when everyone thought raman would defeat devarajan,he had been thrown with a sudden twisting move and that was it.

But it did not end there for a few days later,devarajan called up raman and asked him to drop into his house in purusawalkam and master and student met and became friends.

Devarajan had looked at raman " You did not lose and instead let me win,why?"

Raman had smiled " Sensei,i am sorry but i think you are mistaken."

Devarajan knew that the young man would divulge anything more and his respect for raman grew even more.

He looked at raman " I have a request" and raman " ask of me anything sensei and i will do it"

" raman,train with me personally,every evening.I am slightly busy with setting up of my new detective agency.But in a months time,it will be done and up and running and then we can start our training."

Raman " I am honored sir but may i ask why,for my sensei in the dojo,that is your son gunashekar is pretty good and he too is a state champion."

" My son guna is good raman but he is not flexible.I tried to teach him that facets of judo but i confess that it is come to a standstill."

Devarajan pointed to a large photo of Bruce lee and looking at raman " I don't know about others and their reasons to have this master's photos on their walls but the reason sensei bruce lee is here in my house is not just because of his fighting skills and great movies but his mind and philosophy. I will quote just one of his many thoughts on life and just that one is enough to live life the right way,better way and not only to live but fight and just simply exist.

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Smiling,devarajan looked at raman " You without even knowing it were doing exactly as the quote that day when we both playfully sparred.I haven't seen this quality in anyone in a long,long time but now i see it in you."

Hesitantly " what are you planning to do after your graduation raman?"

" i am thinking of taking up law,sir."


Present-right here right now

Devarajan ended the call which was obviously very important and looked at raman " Sorry,that was sebastian rajkumar my junior and i couldn't just hang up on him after just a few words."

" You mean chennai police commissioner mr.sebastian rajkumar"

" who else,my boy.His daughters wedding is getting fixed and he wants me to run a background check on the boy."

Raman shook his head in amazement and devarajan " ram,when it comes to marriage,everybody is the same and equal.sebastian might be a polcie commissioner but he too in the end is just a worried dad and wants to dot the i's and cross the t's.Nothing else."

The door opened quietly and the heady aroma of fresh filter coffee along with the sweet smell of butter,honey and oats filled the room and the old man and young man began to salivate.

Devarajan caught the look that raman gave to his watch and the sudden worried furrowing of his eye brows and with a smile " Meeting somebody of the fairer sex are we my boy?"

Raman's cheeks blushed a faint tinge of red and this answered deavarajan " Well,finally a lady seems to have bagged you.Good for her."

Adding sugar to his cup,devarajan stirred it into the simmering brew " actually i was thinking of bringing a proposal to you.My eldest daughters child is now with microsoft and both of you would have made a good match but sadly she wanted to settle in america and nothing could be done about it."

" sir,you mean kutty priya"

" raman,you still call her kutty priya but just two years separate both of you.You should see her now" and as is the norm of a proud parent or grandparent pressed a few buttons on his laptop and turned it towards raman who saw the pics and laughingly " what,this beautiful lady is kutty priya? My god,she is all so grown up."

Devarajan shook his head and sighed which reflected a hint of disappointment and raman could only guess at it and wryly " Sir,the world has changed and with face book,twitter,whats app selfies are loaded every minute and is an global obsession now.You even have ads with selfie cameras as their solo point of the ad campaign and self is now the norm and rule of life."

The older master looked up " But you remain the same raman" and raman " sir,we should not judge for it is their lives and they are all adults."

Devarajan looked away " it is only when they slip,fall and injure themselves that they realise that life is a terribly unforgiving game and that is what scares me and hurts me the most,not the drinking or the casual joint of grass and not even sex but when they will stand alone,hurt and lost and too arrogant to reach out for our help and a shoulder to lean on."

Straightening himself in his chair and assuming the power of the super cop he once was " Tell me son,how can i help you?"

Raman spoke slowly and explained the case between his client ashok mehta and wife pramila and what he wanted his master to do for him.

Jannal oram-50

Jeeva stood waiting at the bus stop for a few minutes and wondered if she should call raman and ask him if he was going to be late,for then she would board a bus and reach home.Just as she was thinking about it,she caught sight of his car and opening the car quickly got in and both exchanged bright smiles and raman looked at her seriously " Ma'am,please put on your seat belt."

Placing her lap top and handbag on the rear seat,she put on the seat belt " Yes sir,now we are good to go."

Raman took a quick look in his side view mirror and slowly slipped into the traffic and then gently accelerated towards burma bazaar traffic lights from where they would turn right and enter the subway road and head straight into marina beach road.

" Sorry jeeva,i had to meet someone very important and it was regarding the case from today.I suspect that it is going to get worse and dirty before things are settled.But i think if my instincts are right then maybe there is a way out for both of them to settle this peacefully and out of court."

Jeeva turned her body and leaning a bit on the door,faced raman so that she could talk to him more comfortably and also get a good look at him while conversing.

" I saw that look govind gave you in the court just before he asked the judge for a reason as to why she was enquiring about ashok and pramila's children."

Raman shook his head " women,they miss nothing and not even the most subtle exchanges."

" Women,plural.So,if it was not pramila who huffed and puffed and fled the scene then the only other woman must be the judge herself and i bet that she too saw the glance that govind gave you in the court.And she had front and top seat and both of you were right in her field of vision.Am i correct."

" Jeeva, you never fail to amaze me with your talents and gifts.I can understand the judge catching me and govind exchanging looks but you from god knows where you were hiding and yet you caught that split second head turn.awesome my lady,simply awesome powers of observation."

" my eyes were full of you and only for you and that is why when you lifted your eyes and glanced sideways at govind,i caught that exchange and if i was not looking at you then i am sure i would have missed it."

Raman saw jeeva look achingly at the beach and her body suddenly shifted and since the traffic was moving at a snails pace,he was able to catch sight of what had interested her and it corns being grilled on hot coals.

Switching on his left indicator,raman slowly entered the beach premises and parked the car and looked at jeeva
" if my lady wants corn,then corn it is or whatever pleases her for i am here to do her bidding."

Both slipped out of their shoes and slippers and walked slowly in the beach sand and she squealed in delight and looking at raman " The sand feels so soft and cool.One of the most beautiful feelings in the world and it is free of charge."

Raman looked at her feet and the way her braided hair fell over her shoulders and wondered how she would look lying besides him with her hair spread around on the pillow as if it was the glorious mane of a lion.

An old woman who was selling flowers stopped and looked at both of them " husband and wife and my blessings for a child soon."

Then kneeling on one knee and balancing the cane tray on that leg,she quickly bundled some malli poovu and gently wrapping it in a small banana leaf,offered it to raman who smiled and gave her a fifty rupee not and asked her to keep the change.

jeeva looked at the flowers and kept staring at it and raman " What happened and why do you look so surprised?"
and she looked at him " of course,you are my husband,but no i was looking at the flowers and the way in which they were wrapped in a banana leaf and i was trying to recollect when was the last time i saw this phenomenon for now everything is given to you in plastic carry bags."

Raman removed the twine and the whiff of fragrance from the malli poovu hit both their nostrils and he smiled and looked away and she gently punched him on his arm " what is so funny? share the though with me to advocate sir."

" ille,she sold us flowers and now i wonder who is going to sell us the halwa" and saying it he started laughing and jeeva laughing thought she was ready to die at that moment for she was so happy and she had never ever been so happy and she realised it was raman who was the reason,the sole reason.

Raman with soft hands,removed the dried flowers from her hair,that her mother kamakshi had placed there and tried and failed to place the fresh flowers in her hair and she did it in a jiffy.

He looked at her and whistled " Ma'am,you are truly beautiful and the flowers pale in comparision to you" and gently kissed her hands.

Jeeva gently held on to his left arm and leaning on it walked towards where the corn was being made and raman seeing the tiny embers of fire shooting out as the man flamed the coals and the dark of the night was lit up like a flowerpot flaming on a diwali night,gently steered her away and from the direction of the corn and approached it sideways.

Jeeva scanned the beach and looking at raman " I counted nearly 50 or more couples and many more couples with children and my thoughts went back to the case you handled today morning."

" raman,what happened inside the judge's chambers" and raman looked at her " sorry jeeva but i cannot talk about it but i can tell you that in the end,truth and justice triumph in most of the cases and it never,ever fells like that."

" raman,what is the meaning of that? If ashok wins then where does he lose?"

" Jeeva,he loses everything.But firstly the children for they will lose one parent and will have to be shared between both of them.They will lose stability and god only knows what will happen in the long run.What ashok did was wrong,bad but we are just humans and we slip and fall sometimes and it is damn difficult to rise up and lead a normal life and earn the trust of the partner and make things normal again."

Jeeva looked at the white crowned waves carrying the dark seas beneath them and sadly " normal,what is normal raman for sometimes i think everything is abnormal and chaotic.At least,that is how i felt until you came in and lifted me up."

Raman looked at her " i have a request,will you okay it?" and jeeva staring,trying to understand what his request could be " of course,i belong to you now and everything about me is yours.so,tell me what do you want."

Raman looked at her feet and then gently lifted them up and placing them on his knees began to massage the soles and leaning on her arms,jeeva felt the gentle but tremendous strength in his arms and closing her eyes gave in to the pleasure of his touch and whispered " bro,i am telling you right now,that after marriage,every sunday morning i want you to give me an oil massage like my mum does."

Raman with a naughty smile " just the head and shoulders and arms maybe" and jeeva sexily " who will massage the rest of my body,mister for i have only one lover."

Raman gently placed a kiss on her toes and she shivered as each kiss sent bolts of thunder and lightning and she drowned herself in her man's passion.

In the cool air of the night,on the soft sands of marina beach,with embers of coals filling the air,their love too filled and floated between them and they looked at each other and time moved on and another day and another page passed in the story of raman and jeeva.

"There was something in her eyes! Her eyes were expressive and from the first day that they met, they spoke to him a million things! He could know which night she had cried, which night she had slept peacefully and which night of hers had been spent in complete sleeplessness.

Hi,

Jannal oram has hit 50 and i am going to take a few days away from raman and jeeva and write about rudran and renuka.

I just thought that i would share some of these words that i found interesting and surprising and honestly it is going to be two years soon since i started redemption.
Redemption - A conversation

"Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

This journey,story of Redemption began on september 18,2015,when i posted my first chapter of this story in our forum.But this story actually began with Dhana or Dhanashekar in the story " And the truth shall set you free" back on may 25th,2014,although at that time none of knew that this was going to be a story about aliens,supermen and superwoman.

With the stories of Azhagan and Thenmozhi,we kind of understood that this special race of beings with great strength and reflexes are warriors of the light who do battle with dark and evil forces on earth and all across the universe.But who they are and where they came from has been information that i have left in the dark,in the shadows for they need chapters to narrate their journey.

Honestly,i did not plan on writing so much and so many chapters but forgive me for that for rudran,renuka,bhairav,rakesh menon,yeshe,thenmozhi,arul,jothi,kandaswamy,babu,prime minister jagannath varma,murky aka marakandeyan and raja durai are all characters who need to tell us their stories.

Obviously,a story cannot always sustain very high levels of pace,interest and not every page can be filled with love,romance and family bonds for the world is also full of death and mayhem.Some die,so many can love,some die while still living for the happiness of their loved ones and without death there can never be birth and rebirth.

Every action has an equal and oposite reaction and death like life has its own energy and its own ripple effects.The ripples travel on the surface of life and sometimes gather force as they join hands with other strange forces and together they ripple,flow and move until they encounter and even stronger immovable force.

This is it, this encounters between two forces and it is these two beasts who govern life.They are just energies,power and it is up to the people who get corrupted by them to decide what to do or not to do.

For,with great power always come great responsibilities and also great sacrifices.

Every moment is a chapter and every day is a story for in the end it comes to this,how you interpreted the moment and how well you lived the moment.


These are some of the chapters i have written about The Ancients who journeyed from across the universe and i thought i would share them here at this point in the crossroads of our story Redemption.

I am also sharing some interesting thoughts that i wrote for the story of Redemption and i hope you remember and also hope that you enjoyed them.


Long long ago,very long ago Redemption 27



The last angel of the light stood mortally wounded,blood gushing from many mortal wounds in its body and still it stood the last defender against the dozens agents of darkness.They swarmed around the angel,demons from hell taunting,mocking the entity of light and its master who had not been seen for many years now.The wall was the one that separated mankind and burning hell and the wall had been the group of angels.

The lonestar leaned on his spear and still raising his mighty sword gazed calmly at the darkness that surrounded him.Blood dripped into his eyes and clouded his vision and spirit but he was determined that he would protect,fight and defend until the last drop bled out of his lifeless body.The attack came and the angel prepared for the final stand and swirled his sword and roared a roar that sounded like a volcano bursting its crater and shooting its innards into the open sky.

The roar brought fresh light into his spirit and a new sense of vigor into his tiring limbs.He dove into the hordes and hacked,chopped and thrust into the evil darkness and soon only the angel and a few demons stood in the battle for earth and heaven.

The voice from the dark whispered " why do you fight for him when he has forsaken all of you ? Why do you still believe in the light when here in the dark you can be my prince ?. come,put down your weapons and accept me and stand by my side and let us rule this world."

The angel of light smiled " never.not even when i gasp my last breath.I am the light and he has not forsaken me for he is me and i am him.Come into the light and see what i see."

The angels eyes changed colors and the tattoos on his left arm writhed as if they were snakes.

He spoke " See these marks.They show and prove that i am marked as have been my kin who have gone before me and we are marked for we are the guardians of the universe.This planet must live for it has just begun its voyage and cannot be touched by you or your evil hordes."

The roars filled the skies and the war began.The angel of light and the warriors of darkness came together in blood and metal and so it continued,it continues,unseen,unknown waiting for the turn of the tide,waiting for the boy who would go into the darkness and come back with light.His name would be roared as AZHAGAN.

But that is another story for another day and he will come again and again and history will call him by different names.

"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else." ? Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven


The light came to the child and their minds were united.The child whispered " who are you?"

The light whispered " Some call me god.some call me creator.But i just am as are you."

The child chuckled and cycled its legs and gurgled " why are you here with me now ?"

The light took a moment " you must experience a few things for the sake of the purpose."

The child " okay.but why are you so sad?"

The light smiled sadly " I am sad that i have to sacrifice so many souls for the sake of others.well,many might and more might not understand the purpose.But certain times,sacrifices have to be made voluntarily and with courage so that it will lead and guide others towards the path of the light.But it is only the body for your mind is my abode and there it is always heaven."

Many years later,the child now a grown up man hung,nailed to the cross and smiled as the spear was pierced into his side and whispered " father,forgive them for they no not what they do."

He looked up in to the skies " is this enough or should i hold on for a little while longer."

The light whispered " it is done.come home."

Remember people,always remember that when you sacrifice your happiness,your time,your blood,your organs and sometimes your very soul for the sake of a higher purpose you are transformed into christ.Those are the only things,the only credits that go into the books and ledgers of this cosmic life and karma cycles and recycles it all back to you.

Every single atom in your body"the calcium in your bones, the carbon in your genes, the iron in your blood, the gold in your filling"was created in a star billions of years ago. All except atoms of hydrogen and one or two of the next lightest elements. They were formed even earlier, shortly after the Big Bang began 13.7 billion years ago.We are the cycle and are being constantly recycled and the voyage has lasted nearly 13.7 billion years.Right now i am satish,you are maghu,you are spain,you are durga.but stop to think what we were and how we were and what all forms our atoms and molecules formed.What a ride.wonder now what we will be in another billion years.Breathe,live,exist and rise for you and me are the universe.



GENESIS-IN THE BEGINNING Redemption 64



Long ago,very very long ago in the skies over north india a great and bloody battle was waged and it went on for many months.The people living under those skies were very primitve in knowledge and in their way of life and lived in crude shelters fashioned out of branches,leaves and also made their homes in caves,deep inside the mountains.

The huge explosions,lights and fire in the skies attracted the few who lived in the forests and near the foothills of the mountains and the spectacle in the skies drew them far and wide as if they were being summoned by a great force and they answered the call.Men and women who normally lived far away from each other and who fought and killed each other on sight gathered under the skies to gawk in fear and marvel at the huge objects that hung in the skies.

Then they saw an object fall from the sky on top of a nearby mountain and they all rushed to see what it was.They found a giant nearly seven feet or more in height lying on the rocks bleeding green and yet his eyes and body gave out a strange green aura.

The people of the earth knew that the man was dying from his wounds and yet something forced them to go near him.Few of the older people who had a little knowledge about leaves that healed their wounds,ran and picked these strange leaves and flowers and crushing them with stones and their bare hands,took the paste and applied it on the wounds of this strange giant who had fallen from the sky.

Many went back to their places from where they had come from,but many stayed back and made their new homes there around the mountain.One of the reason why they stayed back was the sudden appearance of huge lion that climbed the mountain and sat watch over the fallen giant.For all the people who knew death and mayhem from the lions that lived in the forests,this was a strange turn of events.But they also knew that this lion was different from the normal lions for this one was much bigger and looked a lot stronger.But the one thing that differentiated this lion that sat watch over the fallen giant was the strange green light that flared from its eyes.

For nearly twenty days the giant lay unconscious and then one night when the moon was full and bright he sat up and looked at all of them.He struggled and with difficulty removed the strange armor that was wrapped around his body and everyone saw that he was more or less like them but just bigger and stronger.

They saw one more thing on his left thigh,strange markings of circles and dots and but for that he was very much like them in the way his body and face was shaped

The stranger sat on the rock and looked at all of them and then closing his eyes spoke to them in their minds.

They knew he posed no danger for them and they also understood that he had come from the skies and would protect them in times of need and when they were faced with the gravest of dangers.He taught them various skills in the fields of language,construction and medicine but the most important thing he taught them was the spirituality of silence and the visions of a world beyond their land.

They understood from his silence that one should approach him only to seek knowledge and help when it was beyond their reach.He taught them the concept of light and dark,good and evil and most importantly the presence of heaven and hell in their very own souls.They learnt more and more and realised that everything was a matter of their own choice and that good and bad was the result of their own actions.

Many of the people took this knowledge and started farming and living in villages but a few of them realised that he had more important things to teach them and those were matters of soul and matters of peace.They stayed in the very spot where they had found him and revived him and they began a cult which worshipped the man from the skies.

Lot of the people who thronged to his presence felt he was too strict and too stern and went away in fear and loathing, whispering that they wanted a more benevolent and kind god,who would do as they please.But the few who faithfully remained by his side knew that all misery rose from wants and needs and bondages.

He was the first to come from the skies and they called him THE MOUNTAIN GOD and all those who came in his footsteps carried the mark that the first one carried and his followers called his kin The guardians,The protectors.



3-Shadows redemption 69

They are a secret group whose ancestry is mired in the dark as their activities.They act with hidden agendas and their actions are all seemed and aimed at some distant destination.But it seems the time is now and the moment has come when the shadows will emerge from the dark into the light and they bring with them global destruction and a disease that will be the end of mankind.

They have lain hidden for eons in the shadows where they had been cast into and now the time has come for revenge and for a new beginning and so they come into the glare of limelight and they come with a gift that will redefine the term Bioterrorism.



4-redemption 72

Good and Bad,Angel or Demon these dual principles is what this whole concept of life exists on and runs along.And the word life here means the entire universe from earth to the edge of the known universe and then beyond it.

Life is just not what you think or see on earth but it is also the birth of stars,birth of galaxies,death of stars and so much more.Life is just not the smallest virus or the largest whale on this blue planet but so much more.But in the end as it was in the beginning life starts where life has ended and in that moment good and bad is born.Pre-existing condition you might say,though some begin to exist of either one of those basic and fundamental principle.

Good viruses,Bad viruses,Good bacteria,Bad bacteria.Take Vaccination for instance and you learn that a certain virus like the cowpox virus can be used to defend the body against deadlier viruses.

Ever had a "gut" feeling? There may be more to it than your realize. It is now estimated that over 3/4 of our immune system resides in our intestinal track, with over 500 species of bacteria present.Overall, there are ten times the number of bacteria in the body as actual human cells, and this colonization of bacteria (good or bad) can weigh up to three pounds. With such a large concentration of bacteria in our bodies, it is logical that we depend rather heavily on them for health.

Good or Bad is relative to the subject or object which is posed this question and what is good for you might just be bad for someone else.

But wait for there is a good and bad which is the same for all life and governs the entire cosmos and they both emerged from the light.The bad shunned the light and although the light tried to embrace the darkness and bring it back to its fold of good,the bad and the darkness ran and spread itself all over the cosmos.

Both had emerged from The source and yet both were poles apart and yet were unified in one action and that was destruction of each other.

The Ancients crossed galaxies across the universe fighting the darkness and healing the wounds that were made by the evil touch of Darkness and sometimes lay the seeds of life in virgin and new planets.

But as always,however hard they tried they could not stop the dark and the evil forces that erupted from life and it came together as twins do, and always one good and one bad.

The Guardians realised that Good and Bad were two halves of one circle and were the children of The source and so respecting the fundamental laws of the universe The Ancients went about their duty of protecting but only interfered when there was no other go and when global destruction of life was imminent.

So for Eons angels of light have fought against demons and the evil that darkness brings.

The angels always came from the light and they bore the sacred markings that revealed them as the descendants of the ancients and the guardians of the universe and the demons had no markings for their lives and deeds were markings themselves.

Redemption 197

All of us are born with capacities that most don't realise that they have and some do at the wrong time but at a very late hour in their time of life.

There seems to be some universal governing theory that keeps total chaos and anarchy at a reasonable bay and order and chaos very rarely meet although like the much flogged words of mine,both are the two sides of a coin and each side has a story of its own.But the most remarkable thing is that although there is a moat,a distinguishing line separating both good and bad,each one of them can change places at any given time and one becomes the other.

But,like the osmosis theory,we all bleed good into evil and evil bleeds and blends into good and that is how a normal man lives a normal life.Even the most good and saintly of us feel a tinge of jealousy,envy,rage and sins of the flesh even they are only thoughts in our souls.

Some flaunt it and we brand them as evil and many don't flaunt it and remain angels.But,in the end actions more than thoughts are the deciding factors here in our land of karma and justice and thoughts are just thoughts relegated to its murky and hidden depths.

Like every story,this story of redemption too has its origins in love,hate and betrayal and in the end actions of one lead to chaos and mass destruction.

Ravana,sat in lanka lording over all realms of god and demons and although his time had been decided by the top brass,the gods,it took surpanaka,his sister to push him over the edge and into war and death.Her lust first for rama and then laxman led to her nose being chopped off and sister runs to brother and well...

One man,one German called Hitler led his country into world war two and millions were killed and for what,to satiate one mans ego,his hatred for jews and his overpowering hunger for power and global dominance.

But it has been thus,from time immemorial starting from ancient civilizations to present time and that is a war,a secret was has been raging for thousands of years and only a few know the whole picture and even that is a broken and torn picture.


Dhana slowly walked towards the city of madurai,clad in saffron clothes that were dirty and torn and as expected no one gave him even a momentary glance or a cursory look at their former chief minister and revelling in this new anonymity soon vanished into the nights of madurai.

But Dhanashekara pandyan knew that something or someone was tracking him,aware of his presence all though not sure of his exact location and it was the same for dhana.He felt the presence of another soul,a warrior like him but different and that was what was bugging him.

From the time of his resignation as the chief minister of Tamilnadu,Dhana had turned his back on politics,news and current happenings and had slowly withdrawn from the public's eye and mind and soon they had forgotten him.

Without him at the helm,his party lost badly and the old dravidian party with their leader had swept in to power but she too had now passed on and the political scene in the state was a raging and ready to erupt volcano.

But the reason for his sudden resignation was known only to balaji although he too had no clue as to the entire picture but had stood by him,respecting his decision.

Dhana reached into his bag and checking to see if he was alone,slowly walked to an abandoned building and made the call.

Rudran kneeled before his mother and both looked at each other and she gave him a loving smile and touched his cheeks and whispered " Bhairav,you have come back."

Rudran nodded " yes,mother.I am back.I am sorry that i had to go away for such a long time.But i am here now and i hope to spend some time with you and babu."

His mother looked at him " Bhairav,promise me you will always be there for rudy and that you will never abandon him.Rudy needs you and looks up to you and will trust nobody else."

Rudran kissed her palms " i promise mother" and then slowly placed his head in her lap and she gently ran her fingers through his soft,wavy hair.

Rudran closed his eyes and bhairav came to him " i will never let you go rudy.Never.the time is coming when we both will face out worst fears and only together can we fight and defeat this darkness that is coming towards us and it has lain in wait for a very long time."

His mobile rang and rudran saw it was unknown number and wondering who could have this number,touched the screen and answered in a slightly threatening tone " Hello" and an equally deep voice answered " Hi rudran."

Rudran stood silent for a moment as his brain cranked and sped at light speed trying to make sense of this voice for it sounded so familiar " Yes,rudran speaking."

" Rudran,dhanashekara pandyan here.But for you it is just dhana."

" sir.I am sorry for not immediately recognising your voice." and then hurriedly " sir,thank you very much for protecting my family and for being there at the right time."

Dhana smiled " Rudy,it is my duty to protect my family too and so i was just doing what any family member would do."

Rudran lost for words " Sir,arul and jothi spoke about the markings and also told me who you are and here i thought i was the only one.You have no idea how relieved i am to know that there are others like me in this world."

" Dont be too hasty rudran for as of this moment it is just you and me,although i sense another but who is unlike us and i think he is the one who poses the biggest danger to us and to your son."

Rudran " son.but sir,renuka is just a few months into her pregnancy and how can you are anyone be sure of its sex."

" Your son told me rudran and i think renuka know it too.It is always a boy rudy and only in very rare circumstances does a girl child appear and she only comes when the other needs her beside him and that happened long ago,very long ago with Azhagan and thenmozhi."

Rudran closed his eyes and his thoughts went back to thailand " Thenmozhi,the holy mother.yes sir,i only recently came to know the whole picture of who we are and what we are.But frankly speaking it has only left me with more questions that answers."

Dhana smiled " sairandhri vanam and in thailand.So you did get to go inside and see for yourself all that is to be seen."

" Yes sir,but sadly i did not have too much time and i hope to go there someday soon with renuka and my child."

Dhana took a deep breath " Rudran,i am going to ask you a very important question and i hope you will answer it."

" I will sir and you know it.so,please ask of me anything and i will answer it for it is the least that i can do and i owe you more than that,much more than that."

" Have you or renuka felt any disturbance in the past few days? i ask you this for it is very important that we share what we know and i mean every little point for that could be the difference between life and death."

Rudran recollected the conversation with renuka earlier in the day


flashback 192

Rudran had excused himself from the table citing tiredness and the others understanding it watched as the man of the moment walked back into renu's bedroom.

She had been quiet all this while and yet she suddenly stood up with a rather worried look on her face and followed her heart and shutting the door gently came and stood by his side and both stood watching the afternoon light travelling across the green grass that lay like lush carpet in the lawn outside her window.

" Something is wrong or something is going to happen and it is not going to be good news,rudy."

Rudran threw his arm around her shoulders " I sense the same feeling,something terrible is going to happen and there is nothing i can do about it."

Looking down at her upturned beautiful yet worried face,Rudran planted a soft kiss on her lips " But renu,how is that you are sensing the same thoughts as me."

Renuka smiled,shook her head " i did wonder about that in the beginning but then i realised what it was and actually am better because of it.It was what kept me going and also why i kept my faith for i knew that you were well,alive and safe."

" I am sorry,what are we talking about now?"

" stupid man,i am talking about our son who has made the connection with my mind and soul and it is he who keeps me informed and updated about you.But this is something else,something new for our son seems to be not only upset but angry for he too senses something tragic that is going to happen."

Rudran sighed sadly and just collapsed into the bed and sat holding his head with both his hands " i dont know what to do renu and i am getting scared,really scared that something might happen to you are to one of the others who are now part of our family circle."

Looking into her eyes as she sat next to him " You know what the really frustrating thing is,it is not knowing why all this trouble is haunting me and you and why it has been troubling my people for so many centuries."


Now.here

" Renu told me that our child in the womb had been kind of communicating with her and she senses something terrible is going to happen.I sense it too,but not as strongly as renuka and our child do,although" and his voice trailed away.

Dhana urgently " Rudran,please.Dont leave out even the tiniest bit of detail of what you feel for i can understand everything where others might call it madness.so,i beg of you.what is it you feel?"

Rudran smiling " I have been thinking of my dead brother often and he too is warning me and asking me to be ready.But then my brother has been dead for many years and it is only my imagination."

" Rudran,please don't ever say that.You must realise by now that we are not ordinary human beings like the others and that we have some strange things going on in our body and souls.so what is madness is reality for beings like us."

Dhana paused for a second now " Rudran,if it comes to that,trust and listen to bhairav and dont pass it off as a dream or a nightmare.I have to go now and i will call you soon."

"Oh,by the way,my advance congratulations for you and renuka for your wedding.I wish i could have been there but sadly the situation does not allow for my presence."

" Thank you sir.I hope we can meet up as soon as possible."

Dhanashekara pandyan nodded " I am in madurai and i am hoping to find some answers to all the questions as to what it is that seem to be gathering around us,surrounding us."

Rudran hurriedly " sir,please wait for me and i will join you the moment the wedding is over.I can catch the evening flight and be there in madurai by night.I think it would be better if both of us join hands and investigate this together."


" I will keep you posted rudran and don't worry,i am meeting a few old friends and they will be there with me to provide extra security as they have been doing for the past 800 years."

" Oh,you mean arul and jothi's clan and their queen malar."

" Yes rudran,the clan of suryavamsam.I have not yet had the honor and pleasure of meeting them and i am looking forward to it.

Dhana ended the call and then threw his senses all around him and knew there was no immediate danger near him although he felt the buzz of another soul and he whispered " I don't know who you are or what you are but we will be meeting soon and then we will see what will become of both of us."

Placing the phone back in his dirty cloth bag,he began to walk into the back streets of madurai and his feet moved unerrringly towards the meenakshi amman kovil that loomed over the city with her gopuram.

Jannal oram-51

Millions and millions of years would still not give me half enough time to describe that tiny instant of all eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you.


She looked at him shyly " can i ask you something? something i want you to do" and raman smiled " anything for you my lady,for i am here to serve you"

She looked at him " can you hold me,just hold me in your arms,so that i can lay my head on your heart and be inside the protection of your embrace."

Raman dropped her foot he was massaging and opened his arms and she came into them and snuggled tightly against him and he held her in his strong arms and gently rested his head on top of her head and both looked out at the sea as the waves,came again and again spraying them with their salty froth.

Jeeva rested her head against his strong chest and heard his heart beat slowly,steadily and closing her eyes she gave in to the pleasure of his embrace,his smell and his passion.

She murmured " god,you smell so good and just the smell of you is making me horny and all kinds of nasty thoughts are racing through my mind."

Raman playfully bit her ear " ma'am,are you very subtly telling me that i have body odour for if that is the case i cannot do better given the day's work and my current proximity to you."

She snuggled even tighter against him " No,i mean in the good way.you smell good and i love the way you hold me."

Looking up at him " my mum hugs me all the time,my dad hugs me sometimes and suja hugs,bugs me all the time but the way you are holding me is so special."

" But that is certainly the reason for you to be in love with me and wanting to marry me for you needed to be hugged and i will all the time and anytime i get to do so."

She looked at him and then her eyes dropped to his lips and he dropped his lips to hers and kissed her tenderly,planting sweet kisses one by one and then slipping his tongue into her mouth kissed her passionately with a slight roughness that she so enjoyed and with their mouths locked with each others,they breathed as one.

Jeeva looked at him " raman,about today,i hope we never become that couple who stood in the court and faced each other like bitter enemies.I would rather die than think bad about you and i dont think i can live even a moment without you in it."

Raman ran a finger,trailing from her eyes to her lips and looking right and deep into her eyes " that will never happen jeeva.I promise you with this sea,with this moon and stars as witnesses i will never hurt you and will protect you as best as i can."

Kissing her cheeks " Even if you don't say it,i still sense some fear in you of having your heart broken and being hurt again but those are just doubts and just passing fears and will be soon behind us and will be forgotten once we are married and make lots of babies."

She looked at him " No babies,at least for a few years for i want you for myself and dont want to share you with even our child.There are so many places,so many spots that i want to go visit with you and just be with you and make so much memories that hopefully they will come with me to my next life."

Raman laughing " what,next life? you believe in such things."

" Forget my beliefs.But if there is a next life and if i have so many memories of this life then i will come searching for you,even if you dont remember me,and i will keep searching for you until i find you."

She slowly began to unbutton his shirt and raman " Ma'am,what do you think you are doing?"

Jeeva looked at him " I just want to feel your skin,taste it,smell it and rest my cheeks against it."

She lay her head on his unbuttoned chest and in his arms found peace and closing her eyes she basked in his love and light.

Raman felt something tugging at his soul and it tugged at his eyes and he knew the tears that sprouted and shimmered in his eyes were drops of happiness from his soul and he felt a peace that he had never felt before.

In his heart he spoke " i will live,breathe and die for you,for your happiness and for your safety and for your dreams."

I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.Ann Hood

Redemption 198

In a quiet farmhouse on kodai road ,Rajadurai stood behind the visitor who had flown all the way from America.

The visitor stood staring at the gigantic paintings of Rajendra cholan and many giants doing battle with the warrior from the sun,Azhagan and whistled and turned to face Raja durai.

Raja durai bent first and then went on one knee " my lord,i am here to do your bidding as my people have been done over thousands of years and like them i too offer everything,including my life into your hands and service.

The visitor smiled with great affection " Rise rajadurai and stand as an equal to me for you and your people have been the only constant in all our lives and the only friends we have had,even in our darkest hours."

The visitor stood with his hands behind his back and now as he brought them out,rajadurai saw the markings shimmer on the mans right arm and gasped and looked at the tall man in amazement " so,it is true,that you exist" and looking at the markings on the man's muscled arm " and it is also true that a warrior from the darkness carries the sacred markings,the very same markings that the warriors of the light carry.Unbelievable."

The visitor looked at rajadurai " from this moment you and the rest will address me as Kaliyan."

" as you wish my lord.Please tell me how i can be of help."

Kaliyan closed his eyes and meditated for a second and then with a smile playing on his face,opened them and looked at rajadurai " I expected the other but the unexpected one,the warrior thought lost has risen and entered our city.he will do for now and we will make an example of him in such a way that the one i seek will come to face me and then it will be over and a new age will begin."


Raja durai stood looking confused and lost and Kaliyan looked at him " Don't worry,you will understand everything as it unfolds."

rajadurai looked at his lord " i am not worried about me or my people but i am just curious as to how a warrior of the light can be defeated in a one on one battle for it has never been done before.This Rudran who we are talking about has already killed dozens of my men,expert killers and even Murky who has just returned from thailand says it is near impossible to take on that man for he seems to be blessed with even greater powers than the warriors before him."

Kaliyan looked at him " That is why we won't fight with him until we are well and truly ready but the other one is not as powerful as him and maybe we can tackle him."

Looking at rajadurai,kaliyan gave him many instructions and told him that everything has to be done as planned for even the slightest deviation could mean death for all of them.

Rajadurai looked at his new lord with great respect and yet wondered if it was possible to win for their side had not won a major victory in thousands of years and yet this warrior of darkness carried the sacred markings that only the blessed angels were born with.

Rajadurai turned to leave and then hesitatingly looked at kaliyan who with an evil smile " I know and understand your thoughts and fears.You are wondering how one warrior can be better than the other and how we can defeat him."

Turning back to look at the painting,kaliyan spoke with his hands behind his back " The blood that runs through them runs through me too and it has taken many experiments and abortions to create who i am or what i am.But as the experiments were done by my creators,our real owners,they discovered that every child had a certain gift,a mutation and it is now understood that Rudran is the pinnacle,the ultimate evolution and from him will be created even mightier warriors and there is no defeating them,plain and simply impossible."

Facing rajadurai once again " We need to take rudran alive or at least capture his woman who is carrying the next great warrior and when i say the next,it also means his powers will rival that off the legend Azhagan."

The very name sent shivers through raja durai " even mightier than pagalon,mamannan kavin."

Kaliyan smiled " yes,it scares me too but remember that as of now there are only two warriors of the light on this planet while we number in the dozens."

Rajadurai,totally lost and confused " More of you,i am sorry my lord,please forgive my ignorance.But what do those words mean."

Kaliyan smiled " you will see my dear friend.soon,you will see with your own eyes that when one of us fall,another will rise to do battle with the warriors and in the end,logic dictates that we will triumph simply because of our numbers for there are just two of them."

Placing his mighty hand on rajadurai " now go and do as i have ordered and leave the rest to me."



Kali (Kaliyan in Tamil) was the sixth fragment of the primordial manifestation of Kroni (evil) according to Akilam, the source of Ayyavazhi mythology and the holy book of Ayyavazhi religion. Unlike other previous manifestations, Kali spread in this yugam as maya . Details of Kali were restated in Ayyavazhi Religion and he is the same Kali mentioned in Kalki Purana


Kroni is a figure in Ayyavazhi mythology. He is the primordial manifestation of evil, and manifests in various forms of evil, such as Ravana and Duryodhana, in different ages or yugas. In order to counteract and destroy the evil of Kroni's manifestations, Mayon (a Tamil name for Vishnu) incarnates as Avatars such as Rama and Krishna. Kroni is analogous to Satan in the Judaeo-Christian tradition. He shares many similarities with the demon Kali of the Mahabharata and Kalki Purana.

According to the Akilattirattu Ammanai, the Ayyavazhi holy book, Kroni was born in the first of the Eight Yukams with multitudinous limbs each the size of a mountain, and was the first evil to be born in the Universe. He had a fire of ravenous hunger in his stomach, and he drank all the waters of the sea to quell it. When the water was insufficient, he then swallowed Kailayam , the abode of Shiva, and then proceeded to devour the entire Universe. Mayon ( lord vishnu), residing with Shiva in Kailayam, escaped promptly and undertook a Penance to receive a boon from Shiva in order to destroy Kroni. Shiva granted the boon, but made Mayon aware of the necessity of appearing in different forms for the successive six yukams in order to destroy the six fragments of Kroni. Being aware of the mission, Mayon sliced Kroni into six fragments and saved the Universe. With that event the first Yukam came to an end.

Kroni, the spirit of Kali Yuga, is said to be omnipresent in the present age, and this is one of the reasons why followers of Ayya Vazhi, like other Hindus, believe that the current yuga, Kali Yuga, is so degraded.

Jannal oram-52

I love the ground under his feet, and the air over his head, and everything he touches and every word he says. I love all his looks, and all his actions and him entirely and all together. Emily Bronte

Jeeva slept in his arms,a blissful sleep and raman smiled and his love for her just multiplied,when he heard her sweet and gentle snores,which were more like the moans of a baby and then looking at his watch,realised it was nearly 8.30 pm.

Time did not matter to him,but what jeeva's parents thought mattered to him very much for he knew that although they would not say a word for they had accepted him,it still was not proper and just not right to take advantage of the situation.Jeeva,slowly came awake when he gently breathed into her ear and whispered " time to go beautiful,it is getting late" and slowly opening her eyes,she looked at him and then at all the catamarans lying around " raman,can we borrow one of these boats and sail away,far,far away from this world and just exist on each other."

" Beautiful thought,but not for today for right now you are still the property of your parents."

Standing up,he reached down for her and when she took his hand,hoisted her effortlessly and then both brushed the sand of their clothes and looked around to see that the beach was still full and alive with people and fires that fed them.

A naughty thought struck her and looking at him " ram,have you seen shah rukh's chennai express" and when he nodded, she looked at him teasingly " remember that scene,where shah rukh carries deepika up the mountain."

Before she could say another word,raman swept her up into his arms and began to walk towards the car,not minding in the least,that people were staring at them and when people looked more closely,he lied " she is not well,she is feeling giddy" and they nodded in understanding although they kept staring in frustration and jealousy.

One woman looked at her husband " can you carry me like that guy is carrying his wife" and the man staring daggers at raman and jeeva,turned to his rather plump and padded wife " why me? for a change,why don't you try carrying me instead?" and you can imagine the state of affairs in that mans house.

Jeeva,safe and snuggled in his arms,looked at him " are you tired mister.If so,you can set me down and i will walk."

Raman looked at her and kept walking and bending his head low,bit her lip and nose and she squealed in pain and happiness and smiling,raman said " i am taller and stronger than shah rukh and you are shorter and lighter than deepika.so,no problem.But,if you still have doubts,i will dispel them once and for all" and began to run at high speed towards the car and the whole marina beach was filled with her squeals of laughter and happiness.

Reaching the car,he gently set her down and in the darkness of the parking lot,gently pushed her against the car and leaned into her.She felt him hard and strong and grabbing his strong backside,she leaned herself into him and not able to control it anymore,moaned in pleasure and buried herself in his chest.

" Jeeva,we will go home,drop my car off and walk it to your house for i think it will be the right and proper thing to do,rather than me sneak off after ravishing and pleasuring their beautiful princess."

" If you come home to drop me off,then you will be forced to stay for dinner and that is something you cannot escape from."

Raman thought for a second " it is just that,tomorrow i am meeting a big shot in his den and after this evening with you,i will need the whole of the night and morning to clear my mind off all the sexy and dirty thoughts of you and me."

Jeeva held him by his collar like a hero does to a villain and twinkling her eyes " sexy and dirty,mister are you sure that you will do all that and more."

Raman acting very amazed " no,please god no,i want that jeeva i met in the bus and not this sexy witch,tigress who not only steals my sleep and dreams but now is threatening to rob me of my senses while i am wide awake."

As if she remembered something,jeeva began to laugh and raman just stared at her joy filled face and listened as his heart skipped beats hearing the beautiful throaty sounds of her happiness and jeeva looked at him " tell me advocate sir,what will your reaction be or look be,when you come to court and instead of judge lakshmi,i am sitting there in a sexy outfit.What will you do?"

Raman without hesitation " your honor,i have some very important evidence and proof regarding the case,but which are only for your eyes and ears and in the privacy of our chambers.When i am alone with you in the chamber,i will show you all the proof of my love."

Chatting,joking,filling their time and life with their own magic,the lovers drove towards saidapet,lost in their own beautiful world.

"When you graduate from "Being In Love" to "Loving Someone" you understand - Love is not about owning, Love is about wanting the best for them, It's about seeing or Helping them achieve great heights, with or without you. Love is not what you say, it's what you do. Wordions

Redemption 199

A sense of dread,an impending doom filled his heart and this was a feeling that rudran had never felt in his life,but once long ago when bhairav had been lost to him and he knew what it was and the name was Fear.Fear and it was freezing his limbs,speeding his heart rate and numbing his brain.

Taking a deep breath,Rudran quickly dialed a number and on the other side,sitting in the comforts of his drawing room,Chennai police commissioner Rakesh menon answered with an hello and rudran " Sir,Rudran here."

Rakesh with a smile " welcome back to chennai rudran.I heard through the intelligence network that you were back and i thought i would give you a couple of days before i called you and renuka home for dinner.How are you my boy?"

' I am okay sir,although i have to admit that the trip abroad was a bit crazy this time,what with bombs and missiles going off without even a moments notice."

police commissioner Rakesh menon laughed " don't tell me that you were in the center of the action in thailand when the united states was supposed to have launched some kind of secret missile,that they then passed of as a test in war training with friendly countries.But i guess,that the truth must be more complicated and dangerous than the public will ever know."

Rudran sighed " Someday sir,after all this is over,i will tell you briefly about the whole incident but right now i need not only your help but your counsel too and we don't have much time and maybe it is already too late."

Rakesh sat up straight in his chair and placed the crystal glass that held a large scotch back on the table and his senses became totally alert " I am not even going to ask any questions until you have finished explaining the situation.so go on."

" sir,what do you know of me or what do you think i am?"

Rakesh was taken aback with the questions,but shaking his head " rudran,is there anybody in this world who really knows what you are or who you are? I know,i have seen with my own eyes and yet i still am not able to bring myself to accept what you are but i guess there is a reason why this question is being raised right now.So,please tell me the reason,so i can be of help,since you have already announced that time is very crucial right now."

Rakesh waited and he visualised rudran struggling to speak but waited patiently for the words and then rudran whispered " I am not the only one right now for there is another just like and he is walking into danger and i don't know what to do."

" Okay,if he is in danger,then we can help him.But where is right now,at this very moment."

" sir,he is in madurai at this very moment."

Rakesh slowly collapsed back and leaned into the sofa " Bloody hell,it is back to madurai once again.All right rudran,send me picture of this man and i will call up the dept in madurai and ask them to give him protection until the danger has passed."

Rakesh menon's whats app pinged and alerted him to a message and knowing that rudran had sent the picture of the man in question and who they were talking about,opened the message and the handsome face of the ex-chief minister of tamilnadu,Mr.Dhana shekara pandyan filled the screen of his samsung galaxy tab and his mind went blank and he was lost for words.

After a few moments of staring at the photo of dhana,rakesh went back to the call " Okay,now that is a real shock to the system and you have raised my already elevated blood pressure.The chief minister called me personally and told me that the prime minister is flying in to see the governor who is not well and i have been told to handle this trip of our prime minister with kid gloves and as delicately as possible."

Rudran gently clearing his throat " Well,if you blood pressure is up and if the prime minister is coming down to chennai,then it is because of me."

Rakesh menon " you rudran.But why? is everything okay with you my boy.?"

" Sir,i was meaning to call you tomorrow morning and inform you about my wedding but looks like you will be there anyway."

Chennai police commissioner Rakesh menon " You are getting married.Congratulations my boy.You and renuka make a wonderful couple.I am really happy for you" and then " wait a minute.what has that got to do with the prime minister flying down to see the governor?"

" Ah,well sir.He is coming down to attend my wedding which is going to take place in Raj bhavan."

Rakesh menon " just a second please " and picking up his glass of scotch,drank the whole drink and then " we will come to your wedding later,but for now tell me more about dhana shekara pandyan."

Rudran again paused as if he was searching for the right words " Sir,he has gone hunting for those very people who you faced all those years ago.But this time,it is different for both of us have sensed the presence of a dark entity and this is why dhana is in madurai,to find out more about this new and dangerous foe that has risen."

" But rudran,no body has seen mr.dhana shekara pandyan in three years and where do we begin to search for him?"

Rudran hurriedly " All the places where you met raja durai and his goons,all the places where you met malar and the clan of suryavamsam and all the places where strange things will begin to happen.I am going to call my dept and request them to monitor madurai and keep me posted on any strange and unusual activities and both of us will co-ordinate and sort this out."

Rakesh menon " if malar and her warriors are there,they will be more than enough and if mr.dhana shekara pandyan is anything like you,then he can look after himself,can't he."

" I hope so sir,i really hope so and yet my heart tells me that all of us are in danger.Whatever is coming,rising from the depths has been in the making for a long time and i suspect that this time there will be a lot more collateral damage than before.I wish i was not getting married right now for i think my rightful place is next to dhana shekara pandyan.

Chennai police commissioner Rakesh menon and Rudran spoke for a long time before the call ended.

Placing a gentle kiss on his mothers cheeks,rudran took leave of her and Babu and headed back renuka's house but his mind was very muddled and unsettled with a million questions.

The lone man walked the crowded streets of madurai as it began to shut down for the night and the wanderers,beggars,sinners and saints alike searched for places to lay their weary feet.


It was nearly midnight and the huge giant slowly got out of the van he had been sitting the whole evening,waiting for the man to appear and then he along with the other old man catching sight of the lone man came slowly to him.

The man who was seated,looking very tired rose to his feet and the old man looking into his eyes and bowed and the giant fell to his knees with his head touching the ground and whispered reverently
" Pakalon,Maasilan,Kathiravan,Meykandan,Koman,Nikaran,Mamannan kavin,welcome back my lord."

Dhana shekara pandyan bent and clasping the giant by his shoulders " Rise,dheeran.rise my friend and stand by me as one for we are all equal in the light."

Dheeran totally overcome with emotions shed happy tears on seeing his legend once more and dhana hugged him tenderly and looking at both of them " The time has come for us to do battle once more.it will be more dangerous and many will die before we triumph."

Asking palam swamy to sit by his side,Dheeran refused to sit and prefered to stand and when dhana gave him a stern look,immediately dropped to the ground and sat like a faithful puppy in front of them .

Palam swamy looked at dhana " My lord,word has been spreading all around these lands that something terrible is going to happen.I felt the disturbance and so has queen malar and her people.In all my life,i have not felt such a disturbance and it means a terrible evil is about to be unleashed."

Dhana sighed " i know for i feel these disturbances more acutely and more painfully than you do.It is our nature and it is because of the powers we are blessed with.But there is no time to talk about it for we will know more when we meet this terrible foe face to face."

Dheeran roared " Let it come my king and i will slice it in pieces and it will be all over.we have been waiting for this all our lives and are happy to finally be of service to you."

" Thank you my friend but i am going to ask more of you than that.I am going to ask you to protect the king and his prince when they arrive in madurai and i am sure they will be coming here very soon."

Palam swamy and dheeran looked at each other and the older man " My lord,a king and his prince.who are you referring to my king?"

Dhana smiled in pride " a brother,another angel of the light and my soul tells me that only he is capable enough of facing this new evil.But before he comes,we need to prepare and be ready to offer him assistance when he asks for it.

Dheeran looked at dhana " what is he called my lord? what is this other king called?"

" His name is rudran and soon madurai will see his dance of death we call Rudrathandavam."

"I felt that if he touched me, I'd die. and then the thought crawled into my brain that if he didn't touch me, I'd die. Kitty Thomas

Love is divine,love is a crime
for it takes a toll with every chime
on this lonely heart of mine
every time she goes away,she takes away
my soul,my power to breathe and live
and yet i am more happier in this love zombie state
and with the touch of her soft wet lips
she breathes life and my four limbs move
and they move,my legs walk towards her
walk besides her,and my hands
all they do is hold her,embrace her
and draw her in closer,closer
until our lips are one,our bodies are one
and our love is one

Raman turned into Saidapet and as they began to enter into the streets of their area,Jeeva looked at raman " find an empty spot and park your car and we will walk to my home from there."

Nodding,Raman peered left,right and then finding a decent spot parked his car and got out and jeeva " you didn't ask why i wanted us to walk from here? " and raman looking at her with an understanding smile and " i respect your every decision and your every wish is my command,sweetheart and so there is no why,what or any such doubts in my mind when it comes to you."

" But,what about your decisions? what about what you want,need,feel or think raman?" asked jeeva,with a slight edge to her voice and bit of irritation seeping into her voice and raman looked away and then up into the sky and jeeva realising that he was searching for the right words " please,a straight answer,a honest and simple answer raman,for i don't understand why you are taking so much time to answer a simple question.It is not as if i asked you to solve some complicated maths problem."

Raman looked at her " aha,is that a tinge of color in your cheeks and are they blooming because of anger or frustration my lady?" and jeeva taking a deep breath and with a sigh,looked at him " i am waiting " and raman whistling " that is the mass interval scene dialogue by ilaya thalapathy vijay in the film thupaaki and which he repeats in kaththi and i confess that your version is better,a lot better."

Jeeva began to walk in the direction of her house and raman gently held her hand and turned her to face him " see,you asked me a simple question,a normal question and yet you did not trust me enough or think that i would respect you enough to follow and accept your request.I did what you wanted and yet here we are on the verge of feeling a new emotion and i dare not say what it is for it would break my heart."

Jeeva planting her hands on her hips " you said it yourself,a simple and normal question and yet here we are still talking about it and even now no answer from you is forthcoming."

Raman folding his hands in an act of surrender " Jeeva,you say you love me and when i do what you want you get upset with me.All right,let me first ask you a question.What is my profession or what do i do for a living?" and she fuming " you are an advocate,you practice law,come on,what is this?"

" jeeva,hold on.so you agree i am a lawyer.now am i a good lawyer in your opinion,honest answer please" and jeeva " of course,you are a great lawyer and you know it and the whole of chennai knows it."

Raman with a smile " the moment you said,find a parking spot and we will walk home from there,i knew that you did not want to go to my place and wait for me to park my car for then i might have invited you home and once both of us were in the confines and privacy of my house,we would have surely ripped our clothes off and made love and god knows how long that would have gone on for.And then,we would have hurriedly,washed up,dressed up and gone to your house and faced your parents and surely with the bonds you share with your people,they would have known in instant that we had made love and then,that becomes a whole new ballgame for however close you are with your parents,there are still some lines we cannot and should not cross or in the least flaunt it and insult their intelligence.I parked the car, because i knew that for you, what your parents will think,feel and yet will not say are more important than your own needs.Many would have succumbed to the heat and passion of their bodies and had sex but you fought it and only worried about the feelings of your dad and mum and not yours and i respect you more for that.

Taking her hand and softly kissing it " I knew all this from your one line of request and i understand and respect it and that is why i did not say anything and like i said before,why talk about what is understood and accepted by both of us.I don't know about how others treat each other when in love,but this is my way,this is who i am and i guess this is how i will be forever."

Jeeva looked at him and got back into the car and raman puzzled,got into the drivers seat and jeeva leaned towards him and grabbing his face,covered his lips with hers and slowly he brought his arms around her and held her gently.

She leaned back and looked into his eyes " Baby,remain like this.Don't,please don't ever change your nature for anyone,not even god " and taking his lips into hers,she whispered " I love you raman,more than anything else in this world."

"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.. Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
