Subramaniya Bharathiyar - Mahakavi, Freedom fighter, Journalist, Social reformer. But to me, one word is all that comes to my mind - Pioneer! He was not just a pioneer in action but also in thoughts. As fate would have it, he was not understood let alone be celebrated during his time.
How tough should it have been to feel out of place, how frustrating to be forced into a ridiculous bubble of mundane existence - no wonder he derived pleasure in his rebellious acts. It is indeed clear from his life that he saw no fruits for his efforts but that never stopped him. All he had was visions for the future - Free India, Empowered Women, Equality and more. And his dreams were no ordinary, they were vivid as if it was screened for him, exclusively.

வெள்ளிப்பனி மலையின் மீதுலாவுவோம் - அடிமேலை கடல் முழுதும் கப்பல் விடுவோம்பள்ளிதளம் அனைத்தும் கோயில் செய்குவோம்எங்கள் பாரத தேசம் என்று தோள் கொட்டுவோம்
ஆயுதம் செய்வோம் நல்ல காகிதம் செய்வோமஆலைகள் வைப்போம் கல்விசாலைகள் வைப்போம்ஓயுதல் செய்யோம் தலை சாயுதல் செய்யோம்உண்மைகள் சொல்வோம் பலவன்மைகள் செய்வோம்
Sure, he had some low moments yet he resorted to asking for strength.
Sounds like he had realized his potential and roared against those who ridiculed himசொல்லடி சிவசக்தி - எனைசுடர்மீகும் அறிவுடன் படைத்து விட்டாய்வல்லமை தாராயோ - இந்தமாநிலம் பயனுற வாழ்வதற்கேசொல்லடி சிவசக்தி - நிலசுமையென வாழ்ந்திடப் புரிகுவையோ
தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று - பலசின்னஞ் சிறுகதைகள் பேசி - மனம்
வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று - பிறர்
வாடப் பலசெயல்கள் செய்து - நரை
கூடிக் கிழப்பருவ மெய்தி - கொடுங்
கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும் - பல
வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே - நான்
வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத் தாயோ
Although my life is a speck of dust compared to what this great legend had experienced, I derive immense motivation from him to see beyond the moment and believe in what I do, however small, irrelevant or out of the ordinary it might seem today.
