Sign Language - unfinished

The language of the ocean is in its waves

The language of the tree is in the falling leaves.

The language of the stream is in its conversation with its banks.

The language of the sky is in its thunderous speech.

The language of love is in the blushing smile.

The language of the mute is in the dance of the fingers.

K Balachander

  A catalyst in Tamil Cinema,
 His movies were an enigma.

 A man who made movies beyond his time,
 He pushed the industry to move their thinking every time.

 Daring and bold in expressing the unthinkable,
 but delivering it in a way to make it acceptable.

 Not only an admirer of the Poet Barathi,
 His movies had nuances of the bard's poetry.

 He made a vagabond actor a superstar,
 He nurtured many that are now Tamil Cinema's leading stars.

 A person with chivalrous aesthetic sense,
 Roles played by women in his films were truly immense.

 A man who made movies not with great stars, but with a great story,
 Now his life is a history.
