Koythu Song

We must have heard about Koythu Songs, Are these songs outcome of sorrows or happiness? A man or woman belonging to the Delith community who belonging to the low caste has no rights to decide their ways of life, they are denied the basic rights of deciding things their own. The society had already set rules for them to live and even the work they indulge in is passed on over to them by the previous generation. Koythu songs are often the cry of the under privileged, expression of their rights of freedom. These also signify two things, Firstly it indicates the happiness they have for doing the work and on the other hand it implies the dedication to their work, is this a rebel one?, there is urge for freedom in every individual but certain section of people still struggle for freedom, Every human love liberty in this  world but even in this technical world there is bunch of poor struggling for  their freedom, Every song is an expression of inner thoughts like happiness, sadness, loneliness, And the people love for their soil, nature, these poor people consider  the aspects of nature as assets, but there are other category of people with supreme powers snatch away these assets for their own selfish ends,
 A man who knows about the way of the mountains, if their animal or any strangers they have no problem because in their brain they have a wonderful graph of that mountain that’s why they never lose their way. He is hardly bothered of any hindrances on the path, And these people have already have set their path to follow and are quite confident of themselves in spite of all the blocks,  Such is the educational system of ancient times, People of the old age had their own way of life, They never depended of electricity, social media ect, s, In those days there was  no Delith and any other classification, nowadays people have become slaves to the electrical gadgets and very easily ignore the under privileged people still living amidst nature and categories them as tribal’s and poor, Since these people are not educated they are suppressed by all means

Actually what is good education? what value does the education have, which had lead to unemployment making the educated ones to beg for the job, many are denied employment and they become jobless but are not ready to do any other work other than what they have learnt because they don’t know to do creative work, they know only the same pattern of things as the learnt from their system of education. There is not an individual choice for doing something new with their own education; they have to do the same job decided by their superiors just like how few teachers have already proved the style of education for the individual choice of students.  The book of  Toto Chan the master Mr. Kobayashi providing the best form of individual choice of education, If we read the book we come to know the real method of education and the students. Could say many things about Mr. Kobayashi the master school the master school of system but majority of them could not implement this system of education because of the cooperative system. Nowadays education and the features are deciding the cooperative system, the wealth has blindfolded everyone it has made people slaves and made them stop thinking, another reason all are found of a safe zone. Nobody is bothered of the genuine of things; all seems to be in a techno world. For example if a child is found of  honey the parents prefer to buy branded honey from expensive malls and not providing them with natural one, this shows how much people have become a slave to the cheap advertisements and love to be in the safer zone. They blindly follow the set pattern and are not ready for any changes, Just like how Koythu songs are sung from the heart, to lessen the burden of their work, they come out as the fragments of flowers to soothe them when they labors incessantly, but the charm of Koythu songs has become meaningless, because it cannot be used anymore because the greenery of earth is getting wiped away day by day and instead of the greenery we could see the brown earth with withered trees, And everything had lost its  value including educational system, All seems to be moving ahead with one thought in mind that is the material wealth for their selfish ends, Once again our earth should be filled with greenery and the Koythu songs must start ecboing from our soil and the educational system must be revived and must a set a curriculum where Nature must be given a lot of prominence of course as a Teacher, guide and a mentor.

Mirror

I wake up with new dreams every day
My dreams make me the perfect
I checked my beauty with the mirror
It makes s me proud of my glamour
Mirror is taking me to great heights
I turned and looked into the mirror
Something is happening in its layer
A man looking at me a sternly
I felt my physical and inner strength splitting
Two people in the same spot
Both in and out, something is happening
Deadly silence, making arbitration
Both saying I am perfect
Each one yelling the fact of moral
Need to know who good one is
How to merge with the shadow behind
I said we are one, so come to me
I am perfect and proud of the moral
He is not willing to come to me
I got mad because of the loss
I never can close my eyes from the mirror
Suddenly the whole atmosphere changed
Behind the mirror, he tried to smile
While smiling slowly the face began breaking
I was helpless to do anything
My part has broken terribly
I have possessed this beautiful since childhood
All gets broken without my concern
I still do not know exactly who I am
A person in between, one has been already dead
Now I am devoid of that beauty
So built my beauty with cheap morality
Now I am not beautiful
Because the mirror has taken my pride
And I still need a mask to clarify for everyone

That it is me.
