What's up with the name?

I have bitten the bait finally... have started blogging... at least planning to ...

For those of you wondering , 'what's up with the title anyway? I am pretty sure people like Sai are thinking what does he mean 'dick of fire'? or others like Mahesh - my Brother in law - are thinking anything Malayalam is my domain and how can he use a mallu name.

I take a lot of inspiration from Bharathiyar. His dream was to discover an 'embryo of fire - aghini kunju' to burn up everything he does not like in the world and dance the final dance of destruction. My intention is not to burn up the world, or even parts of it. but I do like to throw a small fire ball once in a while... at the least it can illuminate some things ... things that bother me... things that made me wince and things that made me think... or things that made me smile.

As I wrote in one of my kavithai's a long time back...

... 'It's not a guy's thing to cry
but my pen's got no gender
and I like the luxury to cry
and laugh thru my pen...'

Loking forward to the journey
