A TRIBUTE TO  O N V

                  O N V,  the legendary Malayalam poet is one who touched my heart greatly.When I switch on the radio early in the morning and listen to my favorite programs, I myself get immersed in a world of my own,a world with great companions like K.J.Yesudas,Chithra,Vayalar,O N V and many such eminent personalities.The lyrics of O N V,pregnant with philosophy and rich thoughts evoke countless emotions and imaginations in me.These joyful mornings make my days worthy and rich.

                                     In this occasion of demise of  the great poet O N V I can't stop myself from mentioning the rich  line       of 

O N V ,which made  me philosophical and made my heart aching from the moment I read it till now. The lines almost means that the sorrows of others are like big oceans when compared to that of yours,which is only a sea conch.We can hear the roaring of the sea in a sea conch when we hold it very close to our ears.O N V asks us not to mistake it for the sea.Majority of us think that our pains,sufferings and sorrows are greater than that of everybody else, but it is really in our imagination that it grows up to the Himalayas.When we compare it to that of others we can realize that it is only like a sea conch and that of others  roaring oceans.

                                              The death of O N V will really leave a great void in the literary world but his golden lines will live forever.
