================================================== =====

The theme (i think) of the poem is "Mind the Gap".

Its a common term that u will hear in london tube trains.. because there will be gap between train and platform at some stations.. asking the passengers to be careful..

I used this in the context of "manithargalukku idayil ulla idaivali".. thats why, i feel like being alone even in a big crowd in the train....

In this modern world we communicate less with our fellow human beings.. and just get involved in net, music, tv, media, newspapers, novels (novel reading is a very common practice here in trains.. may be anywhere inthe west, i would presume)......

So, iam just asking the humanbeings (reader) to notice this gap that has arisen between us!
