Trickling Thoughts - Gaana Galattathara Gils

There is a Facebook page dedicated to moments where one end up with the classic-foot-in-mouth situations. Namakku thaan intha mathiri situations regularaachay. Apdi thaan paarunga....Tortoise coilings...

One fine day..i had this sudden fetish to hear Ilayaraja song. Took out my phone, which is my poakkuvarathu pulliyangoattai for listening to music and started playing songs. Unlike India, where i never used ear phones, inga thappi thavari ring tone sound keatta kooda bomb squad rangeku ella sidelenthu makkal will come. So i was double jaakrathai before playing the song and checked to see if any sound is coming out. I the usuala max volumela vachu thaan paatu kekara vazhakkam you see :)

"Sangeetha Jaathi mullai..kaana villai..."

Pakkathu cubicle colleague was smiling at me. Oru vela "Kaathal Kondein" Dhanush rangeku mandai aatratha paathutaangalo sollitu i sat still for some time. This time it was the one to the right. I removed my ear phones to hear him singing

"Gilsoda daily thollai..thaangavillai"

"Ennada??"

"Enna..ennada?"

"Enna thollai?"

"Enna enna thollai?"

"Shabbba..kanna kattuthay"

"Enna kanna kattuthay?"

( That guy was like that proverbial prince from the Grimms fairy tale, where he can talk only one word per day. Avlo talkative personality, he was!! Ippo ennadaanna..hmmm...sagavaasa dosham sari illai )

Coming back to the tortoise coil....

"aha oooo butterfly...butterrrflyyy..."

The lady who crossed by our cubicle was giving a weird look at me and left the place hurriedly. Seeing that lady, my colleague started laughing.

"Dei..ennada nadakuthu??"

"machi....innilenthu unaku Sangeetha kalaaa poosani nu thaan award kudukanum"

"Poosani nee ok...intha Sangeetha Kala?? yaarda ivangallam? and bye the bye..why the pattam?"

"Pinna..ennamaa paadra...un gaana gantharava kural kaettu..antha isai vellathula thobukateernu guthikka vantha aunty odina oattatha paathalla"

Apruma thaan realised. Paatu satham velila kekka koodathu sollitu avlo carefulla ear phonelaam vachikittu..i had been humming all along!!!

Enna koduma saar ithu  :(((

Hey, I have done the same thing, but in a very embarrassing way .. hummed "enna seya pogirai" over and over again and wondered why everyone had a crazy look.

Ode to the Nice Guys

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...

Padithathil pidithathu

Few authors thrill us to read more of their creations. At times its sheer luck that we might end up with the worse of their lot and might give up on them only to find many other good ones which we would've ignored based on first impression. James Rollins is one such author. My friend's sister introduced me to "Map of Bones" and told me that its in the same genre of "Davinci Code" and since i am a sucker for adventure series she recommended this one to me, with a warning that, at times this guy goes over the board like Ludlum in describing situations. With that warning in mind i began the book. I took my own sweet time to finish it but the book kept me interested. However many times i kept it down i always went for it again to know what happened next. In the end, i pretty much liked the story, though it was totally unbelievable. The story is about the bones of the Three wise men or Magi who visited Jesus when he was a kid. Their bones held a clue to a vast so...

Hearbeat - season 2 - review

What makes a drama series tick, in OTT, that too in Tamil? The question should've been pretty straight forward and not as difficult as it is for making a successful movie, for drama series are dime a dozen across scores of TV channels and none of them are found wanting for audience. The more the cry the merrier the TRP. In that context, the only challenge that OTT platforms might've had while streaming tamil series must've been to choose the path - either the well trodden and worn out cryathons aligning with Satellite channels or try for something genre specific like how they do across English and other foreign languages. This is where Heartbeat series in Hotstar finds the fine balance between being a soap oppaari (no pun intended) in tv and carving a niche OTT audience.  While the setup might've been familiar one for Hindi audience with so many series happening on hospital based storyline, i guess this is a first for tamil. The first season was more on establishing the...
