Together together together, we exist. There are algae even in the sea.

As tracks of time are built with masked, costumed people walking around us

There’s humanity in an animal and the true human,
Mathavanakk Uthamanagum Yudathil Kariyera

To be true to others, we stumble through our journeys
Seviyadithidum Idiyana Idaimaraithidum Kadamaigal
Completely giving in to it, like a thunder that breaks the ear. Responsibilities stand in the way.
