Simple n Sweet!! who me?? naaaaaah! ;)

The love package that came from Florida!!

2011-02-10T15:08:00.000-08:00

It was the 20th of August 2009.. one heck of a hot summer day and I came running to my friend's place. I saw someone talking over the phone and not bothering to look at him, I just went inside. Someone told me that it was the ' talking over the phone' guy's birthday. Not wanting to miss a chance of wishing the birthday boy.. I went next to him and said ' Hey Fox! happy Birthday! '

Like any normal person, I was expecting a 'Thank you' from his side. To my surprise, I received a very snobbish kind of an acknowledgment. I really didn't want to talk with him or be friends with him for life! But, I think someone heard me wrong. I don't even remember when we formally got introduced to each other and how we even started our long never ending conversations.

People say that Love happens only once... But for me it was from 3 different sources back home and one with a very new relation in the strange 'china-town'. We went out for walks...late night walks... and I know I never told this to my brother because I was a little too shy and scared. :) But those were some of the most beautiful days. I never knew why I felt jealous when he spoke of other girls. I never knew why I always wanted him to be with me. I didn't want that feeling to be a crush!! All right I was in LOVE!! Now what? Tell him and embarrass myself if he didn't have feelings for me?? No way! I will sit back... think it over and then just tell him so obviously that he knows what I am trying to say. I was not going to give him any indirect hints.

Somehow... we didn't even want to propose formally to each other because we both knew where things were taking us and it seemed very obvious. He was an awesome guy... world's best to be husband.. We fought for no reasons, I cried for all reasons ( a girl at her best ) and he still made it all SO beautiful. He could make fun of the whole world because he was a NO nonsense person and was very quick witted to let anybody take over him.

He had a balance (over his life too) as good as a mountain goat ( that's what he called himself) and he was a very proud Leo. He loved football and made sure that he bugged me with his football videos. He loved being obsessive about cleaning while I was such a mess-o-holic!! He loved being organized and found things like a search engine as soon as I said I had lost it. He liked cooking and was great at making proper shaped Rotis (flat wheat bread). My mom still complains about me asking him to make my Rotis. He was an English movie buff!! But he watched Bhagyaraj movies for me. He took driving classes for me and let me drive on the highway on the first day ( I doubt if I could let anyone do that). He had so much confidence in me that I really began feeling good about myself.

He had a long nose, pretty eyes and he loved playing with my chubby cheeks!

He was a BIG box of gift that came from the Gator nation to the world of the Jayhawks!!

P.S: I am his soon to be VIXEN :)

only his!!

U.S.A part 2

2010-03-25T17:00:00.000-07:00

To Lawrence, with Love...

I was wanting to publish this post from the US itself... But something just stopped me from doing it. Here I am trying to modify this post a little so that it is honed to perfection. ( I still wouldn't call it P.E.R.F.E.C.T)

So, as every other piscean is programmed to imagine... I had zillion number of things in mind and the extent of imagination was INTENSE. It was pretty much close to what the movies had shown in the past... Wide roads, cars EVERYWHERE, Burgers, Pizza... Man! This place was REALLY stunning.

The one thing that I noticed after coming to US was that most people here were majorly polite and sometimes it even puzzled me as to how people could be SO nice. The first one week in the US was nothing very different from what it used to be in India. Well, actually there was a BIG difference. At some point of time I have heard my brother say that he was a totally responsibilty-free individual in the US and all of a sudden I was going to be a most challenging responsibilty that he had ever taken in his life.

There were certain things that I SO didn't wish to do for I knew that I was not putting my best possible effort at all. Afternoons were supremely boring and I used to count the number of hours after which my brother used to be home. Well, the sad part of the story is that I was supposed to be revising loads so that it could help me get funded. But, there was something that stopped me from doing all of it... Jet Lag... Duh!

Days were coming close and I was leaving for my university town in day's time. I was beginning to feel very weird for I was being kicked out of home for the first time and I had NO idea how it was to live with three random girls.

So we left... and as we entered Kansas, I just realized that I was struck by a lighting and I had entered the gates of heaven. As we entered Kansas reality struck me once again. This place did not have tall raised buildings nor did it have a million McDs (Eating at McDs are a major source of show off in India :P)

The inital few days were a little tricky. To be honest, I used to prepare my dialogs which were pretty much close to any native English speaking person. Not that I was not good at conversing, but I really wanted to sound at least a little polite like the people around me. ( or may be because I wanted to get my accent right :P)

Soon days became months and I was beginning to like everything around me. Ouch!! You can't always like everything that you see during the first few months. In a couple of months as fall approached, I knew that somethings were not at the right place and it was high time I corrected all those mistakes ( instances avoided on purpose) :)

Not that I wasn't aware of the change in seasons, somehow things began to look different and love began to pour and this time it had a GREAT quality and quantity.

Today it is more than a year since I landed into the 'land of dreams' and I have NO regrets at all. I might not have spent time in updating the blog page, but I have surely spent a lot of GOOD times with family and friends.

Life is Beautiful :)

Uzhavar Sandai of Aminjikarai (U.S.A) part 1

2009-10-14T16:06:00.000-07:00

As the big giant plane took off from Delhi, I bid a 'c u soon' to India. The pain was intense for I could see that watery eyes of amma and hear the 'kavala padathey kanna' voice of appa. So, as the airplane took off, there was some kinda mixed reaction within myself.

I was going to the US, a place which was named the 'land of dreams' and I was going to see my brother after about 2 years. Landing into a nation where you still have your family never lets you feel all alone and deserted.

I slept for straight 12 hours outta the 16 hour journey, happily enjoying the comforts of the first class. As the plane took a turn from the north pole, I woke up to see where exactly the plane was flying. Shoot!! It was about 25 miles from Chicago and I hadn't filled any of the immigration or customs forms. Hence I filled it up and kept waiting... waiting and waiting.... There we were... I could see lights all over Chicago and still I was just searching for that one pair of eyes...Stretching my neck up and high... I could see him with that 'dimple' smile. 'Papa' was how he called me and hugged me tight.

As I walked from the International to domestic terminal, I was trying to explain all my excitement to my brother. Unintentionally, I started explaining with 'Lollu sabha Manohar' expressions. He said 'ei... nee paatuku kaiya kaala aati paysadey... idu america' . Alrite now... my tummy started getting excited as well. So I had to give it some food... There is this place called Starbucks where they are supposed to be giving good tea.

With a 'Rouse' english my brother asked 'hey could i have one chai- te-late with 5 pumps of cream please' and I was assuming that it was some creepy thing which he was ordering. Paatha!! Namma nair kadai masala chai pa... Very worstu... I was like 'ewww... I can't handle if it is so sweet'. But obviously, anything that he gets me has its own added value :)

We waited in the airport like for sometime until they called out for the flight going to Tulsa. As soon as we got into "AMERICAN" it moved like a teeni veeni ant in the BIG airport. Guess what.. I saw like 20-25 airplanes standing right behind to take off... I asked my brother 'dei... yenna ipdi iruku" and all that he said was 'ei... idu koyembedu bus stand d... anga bus nikkum inga plaaaaiiin nikkum' Honestly speaking, so true he was.

This was when I first time I saw the bright day in Tulsa. Looking all sides, asking him stupid questions... all I wanted to do was to reach home :) OUR HOME IN TULSA.

To be continued...

Sans-Jeevanam

2009-05-13T08:14:00.000-07:00

Been about 10 minutes since I got from the "health food" restaurant. Yeah!! I am talking about Sanjeevanam @ nungambakkam. Ah!! I need it... I just need it for my desperation to eat there today.

OK... So I went there in need of some kinda change from other hotels. Being a fanatic fan of soups I ordered for one full "vegetable clear soup". The service was pretty fast cos the buggers were very lazy to heat it or in health food's language... "re-heating is banned"

So the moment the soup came.... I felt exactly like the goat in the picture below except that I was not as cute as that animal :)

Yes!! Also I did not make the meh-may-meh sound... Precisely that is what differentiates us. Oh ya!! We both had flowers.. I had cauliflower in that soup and looks like the goat is having some wild flower!!

My tongue was half buried in the cemetery right after having the soup. Next was the "Peas-tofu Pulao" Believe me ... he calls it health food and fails to serve fresh green peas... rather serves the hard soaked dry peas. The element named "salt" was forgotten in the gobi manchurian gravy. What more could I ask for....

My mood was not aiding me as well... yes I was sad for some damn reason!! So I thought "why not have some juice that enhances your mood and gives you energy" and ordered for "dates juice". Machi... know what it just tasted like the honey water that my grand dad used to give me after he finished his exercise session. So the other half of my tongue was marching towards the cemetery.

WHAT!!! LOOKING FOR SOME MORE NEWS!!! END OF THE STORY!!

Climax of the story: Poppai pasikardu... sob sob :(

Moral of the story: Health may be wealth... In such cases you probably have to bury your tongue or ask you taste buds to commit suicide! :P

Silly Serials

2009-05-12T05:06:00.000-07:00

It all starts off with Koolangal, Annamalai, Chittttheeeeeeee, Kalasam!! Duh! Whatever!!

Probably due to ignorance or total vettitanam I used to watch Chitheeee. I used to love the title song and best of all Radhika's husky voice.

So one day when my grand parents had been home I just wanted to catch a glimpse of all serials :P ( Peak of vettitanam) So presenting some #$%^&*( similarities between serials

1. When someone wishes to commit suicide he/she takes a bottle.... stares at it with hands shivering... and the bottle correctly has the "POISON" sticker to it. Adu yepdi pa.. veetla stock vechurpaalo? and yes.. to be more precise the consistency of the poison is EXACTLY like that of honey... Yenna koduma saar idu!! :P

2. In every serial women are the highlight. These days, to be honest men suffer more. So there must be a serial taken on the life of some great guy named "chitaaapppppppppa" where the guy solves all the problems including his mother-in-law, office, kids, wife's extra marital affair... blah blah! Would be of little change :D

3. The day when the lead heroine gets pregnant only the top part of the body is focussed... else the heroine wears a "Dola-dola" kameez... I am against mentioning names... but apdi pannaleina serial le twist vandurumey!!

4.You know out of 10 serials 7 serials have superb title songs... Pretty good number man!!

5. Ah!! Now coming to food!! In EVERY serial Idly and Chutney is THE food for the day... The common dialogue being.. "Poi kai kaal eh kazhuvittu vaanga... tiffen yeduthu vekkarein..." So this guy freshens himself and comes to the dining table... Give me a break!! THEY ALL SERVE IDLY,CHUTNEY and SAMBAR... The number is exactly 2... The guy finishes eating and washes his hands right on the plate... No guy/girl is such a huge lazy bum these days...

6. There is a family that is supposed to be so poor that they are not able to repay some loan, give dowry for their daughter... but you look at their house... It is like.... SO huge... If you say that they would have rented it... Still... If they were so poor how would they pay such a huge rent! ABSOLUTELY ABSURD

7.Up next, the empty coffee cup... The wife says "irunga coffee yeduthundu varein" and you see what!! She plainly brings an empty cup.. and the husband drinks it with the ssssrrp sound... (kaykaravanga kayna payala irunda yeruma kooda MS padika pogumam)

8.Yet again... The look alike story!! Mummy heroine and Daughter heroine look like photo-copies of each other... Like Anna malai radhika, Kalasam Ramya Krishnan... Precisely like Surya Vamsam Sarath Kumar!

9.You don't watch a serial for 2 years and suddenly watch it on one fine day... Still, you would understand the story... cos it has such a SLOW pace.

I remember, once appa was back from office and my grand parents were watching some serial... Looking at one character, appa suddenly got a doubt outta nowhere and asked.. "yein ma... iva daan nallaval aachey?? " My granny replied "Dei, adu !@#$%^& serial la da.. idu (*&^&^%$ serial la da... naan apparam kadai sollarein" lol... REPEATITION of same individual in 11 outta 10 serials.

Now for all the serial freaks!! Take a chill pill!! Nakkals were unintentional!!

Adi Serupaaala!! :P

2009-05-06T10:04:00.000-07:00

Right now I am totally down and looks like blogging is my only source of diversion. Emotions apart!! This post will mainly talk little sense and more of mind voice!! It all started with former president Bush when an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at him.

So, did this incident give courage to the mass ... or did the leaders learn to handle such losers with great amount of tolerance.

This is how the former president reacted to the journalist "Thanks for apologizing on behalf of the Iraqi people. It doesn't bother me," Mr. Bush joked: "If you want the facts, it's a size 10 shoe that he threw."

Here is my version if the soul of vadivelu had possessed former president Bush

" avan public nu kooda paakaliye.... yedutaaaaan paaru chappals ah... Naan apdiye shooock aayitein"

Next, I thought it was just one such incidence which would not be repeated.. How wrong I was!!

So there is this clean chit business with anti-sikh riots which we are not going to discuss here.

The home minister P.Chidambaram is addressing the media when suddenly someone throws a shoe at him.

His reaction "let not the action of one emotional person hijack the entire press conference. I have answered his questions to the best of my ability."

To be honest... Are all these politicians trying to be nice... or.. I don't understand.

So what if vadivelu had possessed him.

"dei cheena baana.. idey apdiye maindain pannu... panchayathu mudinju pochu.. po po po... aha.. vidra vidra"

well yes... our opposition leader was also not spared... His reaction to it is not very clear but I am assuming that he was also trying to be nice. Worst part is... his own party worker threw slippers at him. So here is vadivelu's version
" Vanda annikey moonji mela cheppals adichutaaney... daangerous pellow... ivaney carepul ah daan handil pannanum"

The other day I burst out laughing when I saw that some renowned politician had an "anti-slipper" gaurd during his election campaign... Truly was he expecting it!!

"maaapu cheppals aaley vechutaanda aaaapu... aaaaaaaaaavuuuuuuuuuu"

Our most educated prime minister was a victim of this incident. Possibly this is a nation where educated people are ruled by uneducated jerks. Forget it! It is not our topic of interest!

So wats vaigai puyal's say on this " yennala yevvalo mudiyumo avalo naal aatshee senjein... naanum yevvvvalo naal daan aatshee senja maariye nadikardu... adula oruthan sonnan... yenna sonnalum talai aataraan da... ivan rommmmmmmmmba nalllllllllavan nu sollitaan pa.. aaaaavuuu" So forgive the show thrower nu sollitaaru..

you know! Right now I am feeling a little good.. there is some improvement in my mood!! :D

Going back to the days when Sachein was released... Aiya chaamy alias arnold was so famous...

Aiya chaami : "sonnana!!!"
Shalini: "hmmm..."
Aiya chaami: "totaaal ah sonnana!!!"
Shalini: "hmmmmm..." and she bends down to take her slippers
Aiya chaami: "aaai shalu ma.. idellam kalyanathuku apparam vechuko"
Shalini: "college nu paakarein.. illati serrrrupu pinjurum" :P

ThE RuLe BoOk Of SaItAnS

2009-04-28T04:41:00.000-07:00

I have always wanted to write this post for there have been many occasions where we feel there is some satanic power in our life :P So.. this is what the our rule book says

"Tell me how much you dislike the person... I will decide how often you meet thee"

This rule tries to convey that depending on how much you dislike someone the saitans will see to it that you meet them maximum number of times... Mean O!! x-(

"How much are you searching for it... I am watching... and yes I will keep watching until you don't require thee"

When you try searching for something desperately, the satanic power makes sure that you don't find it at the right moment.. instead make it appear when you absolutely don't need it. Sigh!

"Better thee taste... Horrible it is for your body"

This is a pretty popular one.Better the taste.. the scientists are ready to prove that it is harmful for your health.. (Lays... No one can eat just one :P)

"If thee is online 24x7, he shall know how many of thee's friends are online"

This is something everybody asks me "why are you online 24x7" My mind voice replies "machi... How wud you know that I was online 24x7, if you were not online for equal number of hours"

"When thee meets his/her crush.. thee's tongue gets tied"

It so happens that if someone meets their crush... their tongue goes on a strike!! Useless bugger! the two people end up putting horrible useless senselss humorless mokkai! x-(

"Thee fights with him/her first... at the end.. he/she is thee's best buddy"

Something that fits into the blogger's life.. I earned my best buddies that way :D

"Thee finds that her costume is not as nice as the other's dress... AND vice versa"

Meaning implied... any explanations required?

"Thee is watching a movie... the movie is clean and great UNTIL thee's parents enter the arena"

How much more embarrassed could you get... I have heard millions of them complain abt this stuff... sob sob :'(

More will be added to this post as and when it strikes the blog owner's brain

ruling off,

Thee buggy :P

P.S: personal experiences are welcome... the rule book still has 'n' number of pages empty

SIBLINGS and SCRIBBLINGS

2009-04-22T07:28:00.000-07:00

Looks like my brain is getting rusted.So it is high time that I try giving it some work. I am wondering which topic could probably be humorous? After so much consideration I am planning to post something about relationships. So which of it could probably fit in at the current scenario?

1. Mother & Son and Father & daughter combination never fails. It is scientifically proved I suppose.But, I am not confident of its place of origin :)
2. Moving on to girl friend/boy friend relationship I am supposing that it would be filled with expectations. Hence it can prove to be a challenging aspect of life.
3.Coming up next... SIBLINGS!! wow.. This is one of the most interesting relationship one can have.

Hence I decided I would ask people about how they felt about this special relationship. Here we also need to discuss on the so called "one man army" rather the single born kids.

My question was the same to two people belonging to the "single kids" category. How does it feel being alone at home?

A: "Positive side is that there will be no comparisons at all at home. you can own everything at home like a king else you have to share.. parents may sometimes go with the younger kid"
( OK!! Now that sounds like a little possessiveness!! A's vision... no complaints)
So I ask A... How about the negative aspect now? A tells me...

A: Hmmm... You don't have anybody to SHARE your worries and stuff... ( The same soul that said that It does not like sharing things at home :P So this soul does not like the materialistic sharing... but misses the sharing of emotions)

Interesting!! Again nothing so crib about!!

I ask the same question to B.
B: I liked being alone when I was young... But as years passed... All my cousins had siblings with whom they could share/care/fight and they always had this special bond between them. I felt that I was left alone. (Pretty much understandable)

B: You are provided with more facilities... and you can lead a comfortable life ( Yet again... An inclination towards materialistic pleasure)

B: I used to be a loner... an introvert... most single born kids are loners.. (ya! now that is not good news)

All right!! Moving on to the buggers with siblings! Personally speaking I feel that my sibling is the best gift that my parents could have ever given to me. Not that we have always been nice to each other... But, we still don't mind sharing every grain of rice earned. So I ask two others who belong to this Sister-Brother "Siblingship"

How does it feel having a sister/brother?

C: It feels great... My only wish on sibling is older brother ( The blogger completely agrees with C)
In fact there have been many cases where most number of gals have always wanted to have an older bother... sorry brother :P

D tells me... "mmm... It feels great" (end of the conversation... a reply in 3 words... That defines it all)

It so happens that an older brother knows his sister inside out.. but at times they can turn secretive. Possibly because they feel that the younger one is too young to understand his problem. Still the blogger strongly believes that there must be a reason behind all that.

Coming to the brother-brother relationship... I asked one of my craziest buddy... He says "If we have a good rapport we can share anything and everything between us... can face anything together boldly...irukara ayogya tanam laam asaalt ah pannitu onnumey pannada maari effect ah podalam.. appo appo yedavdu nalladum pannalam.. CAN LEARN MANY THINGS LIKE THAT OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS" (nambittom :P) lol... On the negative side he says people might compare you with your sibling and at the end of it the one who is less successful may develope inferiority complex... and again when the rapport is not good there is always a problem of not sharing things/feelings. (Point to be noted)

Finally the sister-sister relationship... Probably I prefer this the least... Ask me the reason!! I don't know... Intimacy may be high but on the whole.. there always is a need for a guide/mentor for the younger one which I am not very sure how the elder sister can handle. Yet again, opinions can always differ and individuals definitely differ.

Please bear with the blogger for she has tried to scribble in something for giving work to her brain.

This blog topic does not mean to offend anybody and is truly the opinions taken from different people belonging to totally different back grounds.

Sibling off,
Bugs

Sari and Women

2009-04-05T22:28:00.000-07:00

Often I wonder why all women look extremely pretty when they wear saris. Is it the color or is it the way it is tied or... some unknown secret? One fine day a close relative of yours announces about their wedding, the next thought for women goes straight to the sari shops. OK chill! I am in to this league :D

So when the sari hunt begins a league of women attack the sari shop. The hub for sari shopping in Chennai is T.Nagar. The order of the visit may change... It can range from the " vivaaaaaahaaaa the Chennai Silks" to the Sneha style "Polllllaamaaa" Saravana Stores. Anyways forget it! The blogger is a little weak in this area hence her destination to shop is a little different.

In many cases I've noticed that the duration of time taken to select a sari is directly proportional to the time for which the husband waits outside the store. Some shops like Naidu hall are considerate enough to put chairs outside for people to make themselves comfortable. :P OK so finally the sari/saris is/are selected and next comes the "Blouse mania". "Anda Meera jasmine Potundu varuvaaley anda maari blouse stitch pannunga" Seri! Meera jasmine potunda nanna irukkum... aana Jeera Jasmine potunda?? :P It so happens that in most cases the attached blouse material that comes with the sari is not sufficient enough. So adukku oru kutty hunt!!

Now the sari and the blouse is all ready!! So as THE day approaches the excitement is very high and people are smiling all wide :D. For the first time sari kattufying league of girls, the walk is going to be like that of a delicate darling. The reason behind this is that you always have a fear of tripping and falling in front of the public. The other reason is that the girl (if lean) would have used 'n' million pins to support the sari. ;) So careful ah daan handil pannanum.

When it comes to experienced women the approach is pretty casual. They are very busy discussing the material as if it is anyway going to bother the other party. "Oh!! idu silk cotton ah! paaka pattu maariye irukey mami" In some cases the weight of the sari is much greater than the weight of the person wearing it. The color description is something that we definitely have to appreciate. They are so good at describing it(ranging from ramar pachai to mayil kazhuthu blue).

One real life incident is that I had got one sari for some family function. My brother being away from home, I showed him my sari through the webcam. I was expecting a reaction like "wow... so amazing... such a good taste you have" but, his reaction for showing him the sari was "Hmmm..." Aiyo semmuthiya bulb yerinjuthu! :'( I don't blame him as I know most guys do not over react.

There is something I wish to share. In real life no woman/girl would like somebody else to wear a sari just like hers. The reason is not known but at times even the blogger tends to think like that.

On the whole the 'concept of sari' can bring about various emotions of a girl/woman that includes happiness(when her favourite guy is around her), feeling sad( when you don't get the sari of your choice), jealousy( when somebody wears a sari better than yours), possessiveness ( you are the sole properietor of the design)

Saring off,

Melange la musique

2009-03-24T23:19:00.000-07:00

I am wondering what effect does a foreign language have in our Desi songs. Where did this custom start from is my question. Did it originate from somewhere in the west or was it the popularity of the language in our nation that has made many people murmur the lyrics sans a good pronunciation.

Take for example, when I first listened to what Enrique Iglesias had composed I thought he was trying to use some profane words (of course no singer would do that) in his songs. I am sure that I did not sing one word of it correct as I had my own version of singing it. Well, I always used to do that!! Suddenly I wanted to check out what most of the Spanish lines meant en anglais.

I checked out the lyrics for Bailamos and it says something like this:

Te quiero amor mio
So the version that I used to sing was this " te kiaaro mama mio" :D ouch!! where does the word mama come from?? The above mentioned statement in spanish means " I love you, my love"

"Como te quiero
Yes!! for once I pronounced it just the way it is sung and it means "Because I love you"

Esta Noche Bailamos
De Noite - da mi vida
Quedate conmigo

This means something like this.. the night when he dances with her, it is going to a night of his life. and he pichaikaytufies to the girl... pleeeeease stay with me :P
This Night we Dance
The Night-of my life
Stay with me

Suthi suthi inna solla varaan na " yele naan unne romba love pannarein.. dayavu senju alwa kuduthudathey"

Rhythm Divine is yet another song that I just love. Now time to decipher what has been conveyed in that song

It says "Escucha el ritmo de tu corazon" in the beginning of the song. Using the translator I got to know it means " Listen to the rhythm of your heart" mmm.. good enough :)

Then comes our tala ARR. He has a passion towards adding french words in tamil/hindi songs I suppose.

Par example... If you had noticed the "Adhisiyam"/"Ajooba" song from Jeans there is one part of the humming that says "Je vous aime... je vous aime". Ask me what I was singing it like since I heard the song?? shaaa boo zaain!!! Anyway close to the original lyrics? Shux I am so bad!!

Basically it means "I love you" in french. One other song that comes to mind is the "Taxi Taxi" from Sakkarakatti. I try to comprehend what the french text in the middle means. After a lot of lyrics search it says "Il faut que je me dépêche parce qu’on m’attend à Chennai" and when I try to translate it, the translator says " I've got to hurry because we expect to Chennai" eew!! what is this supposed to mean? If anybody could help me with this, I'd be really grateful :) yet another line from the same song "Il faut que j'aille prendre le Taxi, prendre le Taxi à Paris" and is plainly translated as "Let me take a taxi, take a taxi in Paris" Inda logic kandippa purilayeee paaaaaa :'( Probably the lyrics extracted is incorrect.

One of the best mix of Hindi-french text is the Delhi 6 title song. Here it goes and the meaning is approximately correct.

Imagine l'eclat d'un paysage qui te submerge
Pas a pas, tu penetres dans cette atmosphere
Tel une sphere qui t' aspires ,toi tu regardes qui t inspires

Imagine a piece of landscape and when you penetrate into its atmospehere, you see that it inspires you. I am not very sure about it... But this is what the translator tried to convey :)

Another piece of the same song is simply superb when you listen to it. I am not able to get the exact words and hence I don't wish to confuse people.

Whatever be it... J'adore cette musique et longue. C'est formidable!! Voila!!

Live the language :)

I don't know how many of you watch the Tamil music channels. Every time I watch it, I burst out laughing when I read the "love compatibility" between a guy and a girl. Not that I am trying to mock their interest on each other, but definitely wasting more than 2 rupees is ridiculous. ( avan avan balance illama suthikittu irukaan... idula love compatibility romba mukkiyam).

Some messages are so hilarious like this " raja( name displayed on the left side) BOTH ENJOY BEING WITH EACH OTHER( compatibility in the middle) 78% rani(name displayed on the right)
My justification is this... if both are in love with each other isn't it pretty obvious that they love being with each other... and adu yenna side le 78% (rani 10th le vaangina mark oh??) rombavey pooooor behaviour ba!! :P

The next thing that catches my attention is the concept of "TV friendshipping". A new term introduced, where there are 2 crazy buggers... who are desperately in need of frenz for puting kadalai... So they spend Rs 5 and send an SMS to the music channel " Hi my name is lolaah... I need frenz.. contact me at +91$%^&*3(*&^#" Next second there is another person replying back to the same TV channel " Hi lolaah... I am peelah... want to be your friend... you are choooo chweeet" ( hullo!! loolah yenna tirunalveli iruttu kadai halwa va? suveeet ah irukarthuku) Pichupiduvein Pichu!!

Moving on to the next most hilarious shows of old times... Pepsi Ungal Choice. People used to go crazy behind that show... 1. for the host widely known as Pepsi Uma 2. for the celebrities who used to be called.. like Rahul Dravid who used to be every girl's dream boy :P ( Naanum included pa... I am still a loyal RD fan) So,getting back to the topic... she used to encounter wierd category of callers. Here is a sample!!

Pepsi Uma(herein called as PU): Hulllloooo.. Pepsi ungal choice... yaar paysardhu??
Caller 1: Haiyo!! yennala nambey mudila... Pepsi Uma va?? Haiyo... naanga previous birth leindu call panna try pannarom...
PU( mind voice "haiyo... pera solli tolaingaley pa):ummmmmmm... aamam ga.. naan daan PU. yeingeindu paysareinga... nanna irukeingala illa nasama poiteingala!! :P
C1: haiyo... yenaku yenna paysaney terila.. (giggles)!! he he!! neenga nalla irukeingala?
PU: ummmmmmm... naan sowkiyama irukein... (She hears a baby cry... uvaaaa....) adu yenna side le.. papa va??
C1: aamam ga.. adu yen paiyan..romba vaalu.. naadari tanam pannalum naasooka pannuvaan! :P
PU: ummmmmmmmm...appo ungala maari nu sollunga!!
C1:illanga... avan avanga appa maari... :D
PU: ah ha ha ha ha.. seri yenna paatu venum.. yaarukku dedicate pannareinga?
C1( habba da.. idukku daan wait panninein): yenga amma,appa,thata,paati,thata oda aavi ya pona appa ku...( and she lists out one long list)
PU:ummmmmmmmm.. kandippanga.. yellarukaagavum inda super hit song ah podarom!! enjoy pannunga!!

So we all wait for some super hit song.. and v r rewarded with the most boring song on earth!! Romba mosam pa!! :(

Coming up next!! Beauty tips on the music channels:

Host: hullo... yaar paysardu??
C1: "naan inda blogger maariye vetti ya irukara ******** paysarein"
Host: serrrrri... iniki neenga yenna beauty tips tara poreinga?
C1: Sengal podi ya yeduthu talai le tei tei nu taycha.. talai mudi sembattai color la aagidum.. hair color pannara kaasu micham!!
Host: wow... super kurippunga... naan ida try pannadey illa... iduvarai hair coloring ku naan sambar daan talai la kottindu irundurkein... cha.. idu teriyaamey pochey!! (Hair color pannara makkaley... no offense meant!!) ido.. ungalukaana paadal vandu kittey irukku.. paathu enjoy pannunga!!

Well this post is going to be never ending cos everytime we watch these kind of shows we encounter such hilarious callers :P

P.S: This post is stritcly meant for people who love humour. Nakkals are not intended :)

Loling off,

Buggy :)

ENGLIFISH!

2009-02-20T03:57:00.000-08:00

Well ya! I was aspiring to become an engineer when I was going to complete school. I wrote my entrance exam and got back home crying for I knew my Mathematics part of it went so horrible. I told my mother "Amma your daughter will never be an engineer. Her dream is all shattered". In the mean while I started thinking if I should become a journalist ( yeah!! Thanks to Barkha Dutt) . But then I did not know if I had so much talent to write articles, make hi-fi statements blah blah... That's not me!!

OK! Why am I writing about all these things? I sometimes feel English as such has been ruined these days. I don't deny the fact that I have also contributed to it. I honestly must agree that even the Shakespeare English was Greek and Latin to me. I can't understand a bit of his English which is like highly complicated.

After by hearting around 4000 words for my GRE, ask me how many words I currently remember. Should be around 2K!! ( buggy is feeling sad)

One of my buddy asks me "do you know what is astigmatism". Well, I think "aaaah Buggy I know it is something related to the eye". The bulb in my brain tries to glow!! (sorry ba!! fuse poirthu)
So instead of just adjusting, I directly ask him what it means and he explains it.

A few months back my brother asked me "What does honing mean"? Yes!! I know what it means... I can remember how I mug adichufied "Honing sounds like coning... the cone is sharp.. so honing refers to something sharp" . So what's it all about? Most people whom I've spoken to have said that words get registered in your mind only if you use it and some say you need to READ newspapers. tch tch tch!! All that I do is check out the movie details or the tuyara sambavam section( obituary column) to approximately check how many years has a person lived. :D This is what READING the newspaper literally means in buggy's terminology.

Moving on to what I wish to discuss next.Some how the local languages such as tamil, malayalam seem to have an influence on english. Words like Peetify, altify, vaangify( in general the "fy" language) seem to be very popular.
Also the "Ok va!! Like that ah!!" kind of usage makes me a little uncomfortable. Worse is the effect of malayalam in english. The alphabets "P" and "O" have vanished out of the dictionary.
"ComBlan kudichutu.. ComBlain pannitu...SOOOOCKS maatindu LOOOOORY otinom" (CLEARLY NO OFFENSE/NAKKALS MEANT). On the whole... English mela bull dozer ootardu. :P

Aha!! How could I leave the typical American style of English?? You forget to add "u" in words like Colour, Flavour, Favourite and that becomes your "American English" !! You swallow a few alphabets from English and change the pronunciation, it becomes french!! :D

At times I feel that English is one of the most funniest and yet the best language to communicate. I am nothing at all in this vast ocean of words. :)

saarangu n koraangu !! :D

2009-01-23T21:27:00.000-08:00

High were the expectations for Saarang was very popular among the "youth" of Chennai. So myself and my friend landed up there for IIT campus was nearly our second home. Amidst the woods was built the open air theater or as people call it OAT. All of us lined up for the VIP show or rather named as "POPULAR NITE" and entered the arena. Some how as we entered the gallery I found that the supposedly little "shy" type of south indians got into party mood.

So the basic purpose of this article is not to describe how the nite was, but to compare two different extremes of professionalism and rowdism. I know you guys out there gonna kick me hard on face for doing such injustice to Saarang by comparing it to any other local show. But please tolerate :) Patience would be appreciated.

Scene 1 @ SJCE: Well yeah! This was the only thing that was in parallel with Saarang. Probably every time I've attended my college function this has been the only good part of it.

Scene 1 @ IIT: As I mentioned before this was pretty much similar to SJCE but for the fact that we were exactly able to hear what the singers were trying to sing.

Scene 2 @ SJCE: Our every year's special cheap... sorry chief guest enters the auditorium and starts off with his lecture. I very well remember him speaking about the IT corridor on our college day... sigh!! God knows the purpose of his speech that day.

Scene 2 @ IIT: The master blaster is not seen on stage and people are jumping off their seats to have a glimpse of him. In the side stage we see some really pretty women whom guys would defly call as "ssssmoking HOT" .

Scene 3 @ SJCE: After the hilarious lecture speaking totally out of context the chief guest just moves out of the auditorium with black cats.. oops sorry black elephants on his side. I could swear on myself that even the president of the United States wouldn't be getting such protection. Who on earth is gonna sacrifice his/her life for assasinating some ABC!!

Scene 3 @ IIT: NO such ridiculous speech and the host just starts off the show without any delay further.

Scene 4 @ SJCE: When we were at college it used to be department wise competition kinda performance and the orchestra had a different time slot. One of the sole reasons I don't feel like appreciating the participipants in my college is that most often the dialogues/concept/melody of the voice were not conveyed. Yes! They were definitely not less talented for they had won a title on one of the famous television show. BUT the acoustics I swear is just hopeless. Even the world's most melodious song would sound jaaring at the end of the day.

Scene 4 @ IIT: Now since it is held in the OAT you could definitely expect some decent sound system. Yeah!! The music is understandable and the emotions are conveyed. :)

Scene 5 @ SJCE: oops... there is something I just forgot to mention. Guys are not supposed to wear round neck or printed t shirts. Girls on the other hand can wear round neck, triangle neck, square neck... whatever kinda shirt!! What the heck!! Guys I feel so sorry for you. Another sick rule is that "NO MOBILE PHONES ALLOWED". You silly gits don't you know students tend to break the rules only when rules are made.. If that is the case why do you need that rule??

Scene 5 @ IIT: NO dress code... Nobody cares a damn on how you look cos 1. the show is held when it gets dark 2. all of them wanna have fun in their own way... so they don't care about you even if you are your college's hot shot. Obviously mobiles phones are not what they are bothered about. So you wave your phone, record a video/audio.. nobody even cares.

Scene 6 @ SJCE: At the end of the day you get back home with a head ache cos of excessive suffocation inside the auditorium.

Scene 6 @ IIT: You come back home humming your favourite music/dancing/ and laughing out for silly jokes with friends. :D

My mom always tells me "DO NOT SPEAK ILL OF THE PLACE WHERE YOU STUDIED" and hence I'm left with no other option than to feel a little proud about my college as when compared to even more horrible colleges in the city.

Nangil Villa :) NV

2008-12-25T07:47:00.000-08:00

Sounds a little too odd for a title... But it surely does have some emotions attached to it.

Well, probably one of the best destinations for holidays. Wait now... where is this place located? Supposedly a part of Madras in the earlier days... n yes definitely a part of the Chennai era.

Being the oldest grand daughter of the Nangil family I had a few responsibilities on my shoulder... Ask me wat?? Spoil the kids :P

Unfortunately known as the 'cry baby' of the family, I had to break that title and hence was born the new buggy who was/is/will be a happy gal...

We all used to gather there during our summer vacations. Sleeping on a single cot with granny a.k.a muyal was so much fun. Squeeze in tight and listen to million number of stories that she used to tell us. Probably now if I try lying down on that bed all that I can tell u is that I won't fit. :D (yeah I am exaggerating it. Still I guess two of us would fit in if not three)

Next day we woke up to see the bright and sunny day sending off our 'Viji mami' to office. Yes again it was time for some fun. I really can't forget few incidents at Nangils. One thing being myself and one of my cousin (we call him ani anna officially named as Bhargav Prasad) wanted to skate. ( You know trying to show off who is better at skating skills) So what we do is empty a full tin of Ponds talcum powder and keep playing... zooooooooooin zooooooooooin... suddenly... v hear the sound of somebody opening the gate... haiyayooo.. viji mami is back home. So what v brainy gits do is... v just wipe all the powder and push it to the sides... (as if she wudn find it with the smell) . Yes!! you guessed it right... We both share the poojai from her.. where he gets 90% and I get 10% :P

*************************************************************************************

Incident number 2: U know I aint a bossy sis... So my sis (vaichu a.k.a punch bag) gets to be a teacher in our "teacher-teacher" game. In case you don't know what it is, then it's the funniest and the silliest game on earth. We both use hand bags, a pen inside, a note book (an imaginary student's notebook whom we are supposed to correct) and chalk pieces to teach :P

We discuss a lotta things as though we are "real" teachers.

*************************************************************************************

#3 You know we can't be teachers always. So we decide that we are gonna be doctors next. One game I am the doctor while the other game I am the nurse... Hey wait!! who is the patient? Presenting.... Aminda a.k.a ani :D Best part was this we used to play this only after closing the curtains fearing one of the gorillas of our family...

*************************************************************************************

#4 Doctors are boring... So myself and punch decide that we play "sister-sister". We design our house, arrange all those little little vessels ( in tamil it is widely known as choppu saaman) in proper order and start playing... Suddenly we see two pairs of eyes peeping in thru the window. Guess who they were... My super hero bharath and villian of our life.. naren a.k.a nari... haiyyyyyyyoooooooo maanam pochu... I still don't know how come they managed to see our game for more than a minute without laughing.

*************************************************************************************
#5 Now moving on to cricket. The three guys nari, aminda, bharath begin to play cricket. Bharath gets to bat first and aminda is bowling... nari is fielding (fact being he is hyper active.. so he can be a good fielder). After a long struggle aminda gets a wicket... Being the oldest and the most matured guy in the family he introduces a term called "gaaji" where the batsman gets to play one more time after he loses his wicket. And these dumb heads nod and continue to play the game till sunset... n finally they never get to bat... :P

Sometimes I still long for those days when we used to eat together and muyal used to uutify to us. Today we all are grown (are we?) We don't meet often and if at all we meet it is for some family function at some hotel. Those days will never return back...

the moon light dinner, stories from muyal, those little little fights, getting teased to the core, getting lost from home and receiving punishments... Tch.. I wanna live that life again.

Dedicated to all those loving souls at NV

GYMania!!

Often I find that these days people are extra cautious about the weight. Some people desperately want to lose weight while some are praying to gain weight.

From my personal experience I must admit I've been called a patient, a 2 dimensional object, drum stick, kokku ( crane cos my head hits the buss' ceiling) sigh!!

There were times when I used to feel so sorry for people. But I never spoke back thinking how fortunate I was to stay the way I they were not.

As said by some intelligent and practical human "any new activity when practiced for 21 days becomes your routine" and I am definitely not an exception.

Chill! So how does it feel keeping yourself fit?? AWESOME I tell you. There were times I used to literally argue with dad as to why he was a fitness freak... Now I know why... Straining your body makes your mind happy... or at-least it keeps me happy when I strain myself. I could tell any day that experiencing things are a whole lot better than getting advise from people. So here I am a happy human.. happier than how I was before.

Gyming off,

buggy

P.S: I wish to give no advise at all. The choice is yours... live well :)

My application's trip to the USA!!

2008-12-04T22:29:00.000-08:00

Even before I send my supporting documents to Kansas, my buddy tells me "Buggy yennaku Vaaranam aayiram la surya "KANSAS" nu oru tee porturkara maari red and blue stripes vechu vaangita" I promise him I'll do so provided I get an admit there. Assuming that my address, destination code everything is correct I just relax myself telling "Buggy next yr admit irunda nee inda univ daan d"

And wat do you expect?? A "lived happily ever after story"... Nope! Thats not the way it goes.

So the destination is Lawrence (the place where the univ is located)

Waybill No:#$%^&*()(*&^ WATEVER!!

Nov 30th: the site tells me "departed from chennai" I m like.. Ok. wat next.. this was going to be obvious!

The very same day it tells me arrived and departed from mumbai... Ok.. chale chalo!!

Dec 1st : the usual path arrived and departed from London Heathrow-UK... yeaaa way to go!!
same day it arrives at EastMidLands UK... n i m like "may be this is the route"

Dec 2nd: This is when my application packet starts celebrating its TaniMoon ( in literal terms tanimarama oor suthardu)
It reaches Wilmington( a place in Ohio) and I assume they wud have spoken this "Maamu idu Kansas city(KC) ku pogaveindiya packet da"

"Seri da machaan... lets send it to KC"
so my packet goes to KC... I wonder wats happening in the united states!!

The same day it reaches KC and they say "dai yeruma idu yenga ooru packet illa da.. Lenexa poganum"

so my packet reaches wilmington again and goes to lenexa... people at lenexa say " yenna da idu looolayee.. tappu tappa anupareinga... anuppu da KC ku tiruppi"

zoooooooooooooooooooooin... again it reaches KC...

Dec 3rd: "Kansas ah suthi paaka porein... tree house il yeri nikka porein..." :P again people out there at KC are so rude... they tell my packet "hey u stranger u don belong to KC.. go away"

Dec 4th:So my packet is all fed up thinking how ppl could be mean to her. So she goes back to wilmington :( She is lost somewhere not knowing how to reach Lawrence... So the good hearted souls out there please do the needy for her to reach her destination :P

Don't worry she won't cause any trouble to u :) She is a good girl unlike me ;)

P.S: at the end of it I am a lill worried.. every human would be :(
Signing off,
