Meena

How do I look today meena?
Brown!

Meena is one of those little gods own children. She’s seven…she’s cute…she sings beautifully….she is blind and orphaned!

It was my last years birthday that made me so close to meena. Eowyn took me to this blind school that day. It was truly uncomfortable looking these little hearts…because these children apart from being blind some of them had disfigured faces…some were mentally retarded…but all had one similarity…they were all blind!

Eowyn said “ ellarum kelunga…ithu shadowfax anna…inimey ivangalum namaloda friend”

Eowyn is so cute…she’s one of the best things that had happened to me…

I bid goodbye to all. Eowyn went over to each children planted a kiss on every child’s cheeks and then we left the place.

The next day I visited the blindschool again but this time alone. There were very few children.
I went straight to that little girl holding an abacus and asked “neenga yaru”.(who are you)
She unfolded her palms and raised her arm.
The blindschool staff said “sir pakathula ponga ava ungala feel panumnu nenaikira”(sir pls go near her she wants to feel you)
I held that little girls palm and placed them over my cheeks and said “Shadowfax”
She replied “nan meena”(I am meena)

That’s when a new relation started germinating between me and meena. Nowadays I visit her every time whenever I am in Madurai and spend some time talking with her about the world she sees(feels!). And whenever I visit the school I place meenu’s palm on my cheeks she would recognize me the next second and say “Shadowfax”

Life’s greatest happiness comes in small forms! Truly speaking Each day meena sees more of this world than us.

Shadowfax – The Real Me!

I love this city. This is where I was born. This is where I live. This is where I belong. I am Shadowfax.

I have beautiful memories in this city.

This is the place that gave me my best friends.
This is the place that gave me my first gang.
This is the place where I found my first love…then the second one tooo!!!
This is the place where I first faced my first street fight with my collegemate.
This is the place which made me understand that I have a heart and so does everyone else around me.

I have broken hearts…some broke mine…I cheated a few…many cheated me…
I made friends with the rich, poor, the dreadful, the unruly, the sinister and ofcourse few good hearted people.

I truly don’t know how to react infront of a girl. So I avoid them. But still managed to get few girlfriends(I swear…just friends nothing else!). Never forgets to give that special girl a warm hug whenever I leave this place.

I spend money lavishly but never give a penny to beggars.

I dream big. I move with big people.
But will always visit Meena and her friends at the Blind school whenever I am here.

I love to be alone atleast few minutes a day.

Iam Shadowfax. Shadowfax is real. And it’s still in me.

Proud to be a Shadowfax!!

Who’s to be blamed here!
