CHAPTER 130- SPEAKING WITH HEART.
***
130/04. இனிஅன்ன நின்னொடு சூழ்வார்யார் நெஞ்சே?
துனிசெய்து துவ்வாய்காண் மற்று.

130/04. Inianna ninnodu soozhvaaryarr nenje?
Thuniseidhu thuvvaaykaann matrru.

130/04. "Oh mind, when love came between us
But you refused to partake in it.
There is no use of consulting you hereafter."
***
Dharmalingam: The story goes up and down.
Once he refused and now her mind refuses,
The reason why it is not understood.

Jivan: It is something private matter
Between these two lovers,
Time has not yet come
To unite both of them.

There may be so many reasons,
One can't question why like this?
There has been difference of opinion
Among them when it comes to each turn.

She questions her own fickle mind,
Why when she went to him
He didn't entertain her
But now why it falls for him?
***
130/05. பெறாஅமை அஞ்சும்; பெறின்பிரிவு அஞ்சும்;
அறாஅ இடும்பைத்தென் நெஞ்சு.

130/05. Perraamai anjum; perrinpirivu anjum;
Arraa idumbaiththen nenju.

130/05. "I was worrying myself when he has not come to me.
When he came, I am worrying myself whether he will go away,
My mind is always giving me trouble."
***
Dharmalingam: That is the problem with woman.
Perhaps, to worry always she is born.

Jivan: Yes, when he didn't come, she was worried,
Now when he has come, she's worried.
It looks funny with her wavering mind,
To blame as well as love her husband.

Life for a woman goes on like this,
As she's not steady in her thoughts,
But how a man adjusts to her shifting mind,
He must be an expert, and it is in his hands.

Is it for this reason men say women
Belong to weaker sex, but not men,
Who must adjust to their temperaments,
In the better interest of family commitments? ?
***
130/06. தனியே இருந்து நினைத்தக்கால் என்னைத்
தினிய இருந்ததென் நெஞ்சு.

130/06. Thaniye irundhu ninaiththakkaal ennaith
Thiniya irundhen nenju.

130/06. ‘My mind, when I was alone, it was like killing me."
***
Dharmalingam: As she has tortured her mind so badly
It wants to kill her as revenge.

Jivan: Her inborn weak mind always
Has been giving her a lot of troubles,
As she's can't control her thoughts,
And gave her mind all kinds of liberties.

When she decides one thing,
Her mind says opposite thing,
Resulting in her total confusion
On her every chosen occasion.

While the decision maker
Finally is still her lover,
She goes to him thereafter,
But he gives a different answer.
