Ghibran Vaibodha’s composition contrasts a man’s cat-like glances with elephant-sized persistence. Namitha Babu describes surrendering like red water staining cloth, acknowledging the deliberate choice to engage. Animal metaphors frame this courtship as equal parts stealthy and overwhelming.
Yekki Yekki Paakuran Poonai PolaHe keeps peeking at me like a cat.
Ukki Ukki Poduran Yaanai PolaHe puts in the effort like a persistent elephant.
Santhadi Saakula Santhanam ThechiduHe applies ‘sandalwood paste’ amidst the noise.
Suthiduraan En ThonaiyeHe keeps circling around me as my companion.
Nochi Nochi Poovula Mothum KaathaLike the wind that strikes ‘nochi’ vitex flowers,
Pichu Pichu Veesura Naanum PaathaI watched as he tore them apart and threw them.
