Ode to HP

Not about my kambeni..atha pathi thaniya postaren..this post is dedicated to the latest and last installment in the Harry Potter series...Alas! a great series comes to end..for folks who are keen followers i share your grief..for the uninitiated..well there is more to life which you have been missing folks...reading books you love is a magic in itself..that too when the characters are magical themselves...well what to say...i read the first one half heartedly..didnt like the cover picture...i have a hmm..sort of fetish towards book covers...the book should impress me right from cover page..when i saw the "HP n philosophers stone" book..it wasnt much impressive..infact i had to plough through the book..couldnt follow half the things as i guess Rowling had decided to have the book in several parts right from page one of part one..so most of the characters events where placed with a cloud of mystery hanging over each scene..though it aroused a wee bit of curiosity..the very thought that the second installment is going to be a year later was a put off...i never thought i would wait for the second part to come and had almost forgot about the book itself..the next i saw the books where when i went to my friends place..i saw that his wife was crazy about HP and had bought all the three parts which had come till that time...and surprisingly the cover was interesting this time..i started with the third part "HP n Prisoner of Azkaban" and guess what it was pretty interesting..it had some parts missing..the best part about Rowlings writing is that she assumes that you have read the previous parts when she writes the current one..reading the third part enthused me to read the other parts..and thus began my quest...till i read the last part i thought "chamber of secrets" was her best...but this last edition "Deathly Hallows" definitely lived up to the expectations and was an amazing read..when the book was released i didnt ran up to buy it..750 rs per piece...evan vaanguvannu vituten..but when i chkd one of thebook shops causally..i was shocked to hear that they had sold out all the pieces on day one first hour itself...then after frantic chking i finally managed to buy it in a new bookstore which opened up near our area...first padichathu last ten pages thaan..who dies n who survivesnu therinjukama mandaye vedichurum pola adicihi...it feels sad that the series ends with this 7th part...wish there are more...harry potter padikarapolaam...u feel as if u r transferred into their magical world...the names which Rowling has selected for each of the spells and the magical items which makes entry in each series..ellam top class..for encyclopedia there is an equivalent rememberall and there is this stupefy curse to stun someone...patronus charm to chase away the dementors..toad sweets...oh my my...fresh imagination...and awesome charaterisation...enaku Hermione and Ron romba pudikum...Harry obviousa ellarukum pudikum...firstlenthu Dumbeldore, the headmaster of the magic school, Harryoda mentor n guide and role model mari solitu final partla avarum weak person thangara mari solirukarthu konjam pudikala..but interesting twists..paarapatcham paakama ella charactersaiyum poatu thalra vidham...hats off to Rowling..Harry potter series are over..Long live Harry potter series :)

Enna koduma saaar ithu!!!!

We are a group of 5 who share our apartment. Usually me and one more guy are the last to the leave the house everyday morning. Yesterday, the one who used to leave first for office, didnt come home till 11. I went to sleep after the usual book reading session at around 11.30. When i woke up i saw it was only me who was still lying on the mat while even the guy who leaves for office along with me, had already started folding his bed!! I was feeling very tired and sleepy and was in two minds whether i should take off or go late. Still managed to crawl..brushed teeth half sleeping and swtiched on the geyser. I turned back to see, suddenly it was pitch dark outside the bathroom!! Since the light was On inside, it wasnt power cut and i came out to see what was wrong. The guy who folded his bed, had moved to the hall and was again asleep!! Then only i noticed, it was dark outside the balcony too!!! I checked the time. It was 3AM!!! BOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! SOB SOB SOB!!! That useless guy afterwards ...

Babies day out :D

Last sunday went for my friend's kid 2nd bday party. They had invited all their neighbours and other friends to club it as a getogether event. In 2 days time their kid had grown so fond of me that the moment he saw me came running to me and took me to his new friends for intro :) I dunno what he told them in his broken language. But considering the after effects i guess it must've been something like below. "Yaruda ithu" one of the kids ask this guy "machaan..oru allakkai maatirukaan..freeya irunthena sollu..aala paatha anju farex dabbava oray gulpla adikaravan mathiri irukaan..evlo imsai pannalum thaanguvaan nenakren" "apdiya..test panni pathiruvom" Ten thousand blue blistering barnacles and thundering typhoons to all those parents who didnt come to the resuce of hapless gils. Adutha 1 hour..thenara thenara gummi. One is pulling my specs..another one climbing on my shoulders..two of them playing sarukku maram on my legs..one scientist kid did some...

From Confedration towards Confused Nation

Andru: "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....enaku antha bommai venum..." "chellam...adam pudikathada..saapdu" "saapda maaten po..enaku antha bomma vaangithanthaa thaan sapduven" "chamthula..saapduma...amma paavamla.." "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....maaaten maaten" "ipo sapdla..udha vizhum" "maaten...maaten..maaten" The kid ultimately prevails and the doll is bought. Indru: "Fast unto death"..."wont even drink a drop of water...till telengaana is achieved"..."blood will flow.." blah blah blah... And this time the government yields to the demand. Thottil pazhakkam sudukaadu mattumnu summava solranga. Ithuku thaan chinna vayasulaye nalla naalu kaatu kaati iruntha intha mathiri caselaam adangirukum.
