Trickling thoughts - Orampo..gilsu vandi varuthu

Than muyarchiyil satrum manam thalaraatha vikramaadithan mathiri ..naanum post poda topic yosichi paakaren..uhumm.. Naalu lineku mela thaanda maatenguthu. Ennada kodumaiye kaanumay oru vela namma time work out aaga aarambichidicho nu yosikka start thaanga pannen. "Alauvuddin" padathula Asokan vanthu nikkara mathiri "Aaalampanaaaa..itho vanten" nu aajar aaidichi.

Intha ooruku vantha..vela iruko ilayo..car driving licence kandipa venumnu ellarum told. Oray the imsais of india..pestered me to take the test. Seri..namma oorla thaan carlye 8 poattu licence vaangirukomay inga vaangida mudiathaa sollitu paatha...nejamavay test pass pannanum solitanga!!! There was one big booklet. Atha padichi exam ezhuthi pass pannanumaam. Appo thaan learners permitay tharuvangalam!!! Ithennada vamba poachu sollitu paatha...namma makkals athukum vazhi sonaanga. Some punniyavaan had downloaded dumps. Itha mattum padi pothum sollitu he circulated it to everyone of us. The day finally came. Morning one gang went. Seri..antha pasanga vantha apruma pona enna kostins varuthunu terinjiukalamay sollitu selected the second batch. We tried and tried and tried to reach them over phone...uhumm. Those buggers never lifted the phone.Ithku mela wait panna namma slot plot poatu vithuruvanga solitu went to exam center. Yaarumay illa. Ennada naama varom terinju ess aaitaanungala paatha...all the servers were down. Suthu pattu pathinettu countyla ella edathulayum server crash aadichaam!!! Hall ticket vaanginathukkay server crash aadichay..test ezhuthina curfew potruvaangalonu slighta doubt came. Seri..next time meet panrom...ipothaiku apeet aaikalamnu came back. Booked the slot a week later.

Ithula matter ennana..i the over padips mathiri..didnt just read the booklet and the dumps..found an online site where they had some 80 plus kostins. Athelaam karma srathaiya ezhuthi pass panni..oru mathiri was in a settled mindset that ithu summaanachiki exam. Anga thaan fate danced. Visual nu oru section was there. It didnt load the jpegs as they were blocked in aapeece. I thought they were for vision test and skipped that section entirely. The exam day came. Anga porapo paatha ...everyone were walking as if they are appearing for plus two board exam. Naama thaan pathu thadava ezhuthitomay sollitu i hadnt even revised the test kostins. When i koornthu nookified..realised that they were all reading one small bittu paper. It was full of road signs!!! Kodumai is..road signs thaan antha visual testaam!! The DMV people will display the picture without the wordings and athu ennanu naama solanumaam!!! Objective test was second level it seems. I was totally off. Seri..vanthathukku vedikkai paathutu polaamnu was paathufying the display board for road signs. One by One all the people who had came with me went for their interview. En turn vanthuchi.

The interviewer looked like an Indian. Namma oor aalaanu semma curiosityoda asked him.
"Are you from South India"
"No..pligle usogly  misuuzke meeee faaar innnnnnndiaaaan"
(Typolaam ileenga...antha aal pesinathay oru typea thaan irutnchi. Slang suthama purila. Oru mathiri kutumathippa purinjikittathu ennana "People usuallay mistake me for indian")
Athukaprum..he talked..and talked..and talked..and talked for a little more whilte. Avanga thaathathavoda thaatha..1855la Indialenthu Guyanaku kappaleri Britishersaala anuppapatathulenthu...how his family traced back his Bengali roots (yes..avar Bengaliyaam..i mean avaroda ancestors) and athukaprum aana kathais all he told. Nee Indiana kaettathuku oru mega history lessonay vachitaaru. Finala he came to the visual test. Looking at my eager "umm" kottings for his sorpozhivu..pulla romba padips pola nu he formed an impression i guess. "This test should be cake walk for you..dont worry". Me manasukkulla "Yov..cake la nadanthu paathirukiya? semmaya vazhukkum. Cake walk cat walka vida kushtamappa" nu sollikitay said "lets see".

Bittu paperla fill in the blanks mathiri irukum paatha...microscope mathiri oru item mela mandaiya vaikka sonaanga. Namma oorla 5 paise ten paiseku bioscopela MGR padam kaatuvangalay..antha mathiri the dreaded visuals came...without any picture on them!!! I was shell shocked. Padathoda poatalay onum teriathu..ithula verum figures without words. "Echusme aapeecer...some praablum in microscope...only philim  coming..no padam coming"
"hahaha..thats what the test is about gentleman..you should identify it"
"adapavingala...vitta tar poda terinja thaan car oatta permit tharuvennu road poda vitruvanga pola irukkay"
Kuthumathippa told the answers. "Rounda irukkay...sevappa vera irukku..kandippa ithu Stop sign thaan"
"Trianglea kavuthu poatta mathiri irukku...namma oorla ithu vera symbol aachay...oru vela inga no parking kaga irukumo" ipdi pala arivu poorvama yosichi..got 8 out of ten cleared.
Antha aaloda poorveegam pathi visaarichathula..oru 2 marks grace poattu pass panni anupitaru.

Moral of the story: Chozha parambaraikku oru US learners Driving Permit kitti :)

Hurray. Gilsu storms America. See; even the examiner was charmed by Gilosophy.

Now on to the actual driving test. Beware that the examiner is a pretty cousin of Priya. From Trinidad. Roada nera pakkonam. Thirumbi Thirumbi examinera pakka kudathu :):)

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 ...
