Vaazhkkai is a vattam

"chellaam"
"Kannaaaa"
"Raasaaaaaa...epdi pa irukkaa..thurumbaaaaaa elaichitiyeee"

After a gap of 3 months, if a mother sees her kid, ipdi ethachum dialog varumthaana expect panuveenga.

Athaan illa.

Had a skype chat with mom. Indhiya tholaikaatchigalil mudan muraiyaaga mathiri..it was the first ever time my mom was in video chat. Solli vacha mathiri, video was not appearing in their end due to some connection problem. After a few minutes of voice chat, suddenly the video issue got resolved. First question from mom.

"Ennadaa thalaya ipdi vachitruka!! anga poitu hair cuttay panniakalaya?"

Avvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.....

Rapunzel ku aduthabadia intha hairstyle issuesnaala ivlo kushtapattathu gilsa thaan irukum. For me, intha yogi sithar mathiri jadaa mudi hairstyle romba pudikkkkum. My reminder to get hair cut would be that if and only if, it falls like wiper blade on my specs.

There was this Pomeranian naaikutty called Julie next to our house. As usual, enna thavira enga veetla ellarukum antha dog was pet. En sister enna sonaalum kekkum. Enna kanda mattum kadikka varum :(  "Julieya vida neria mudi valarthutta..naai bayapda poguthu..ipdi hairstyle vitta enakkay kadikanum polaruku..athu en kadikka varaathu..po..first summer cut pannikitu va" nu adikadi arulvaaku varum. Athenna therila..puppylenthu pug varaikkum..alsatian lenthu dalmation varaikkum..therunaai verinaai sorinaai..whatever canine variety you could think of, elaamay gils kanda karam kattikitu kadika varum!! Pona jenmathula kallaala adichirupeno?

Video chatla intha topic vanthathuku innoru main reasonum undu. Inga vanthaprum cousins moonu peruku major hair loss. Kitta thatta mottai mandai matiri aidichi. Athunala she was majorly worried. Aanalum, i never expected that would've been the very first thing on her mind :)

Seri..anga iruntha thaan thittu vaangitu hair cut ponom paatha..inga video chatla vaangi kattikitu went. Namma ooray thevalamnu aaidichi. Inga porathuku minthiye friends warned. "Machi..namma oor mathirilaam illa inga. Mudi vetravangaluku englishlaam teriathu. So nee solrathu enna purinjuthu, evlo purinjuthungaratha vachu avangala ethaachum paathu panna thaan undu". Namakku thaan nalla naalulaye haircut porathu peria poraatamaachay. Atha pathi sila pala postugal intha bloglaye iruku. Erkanavay namakkum avangalukum vaaikka thagaraaru..itula kaiya pudichi izhuthiya kathai veraya!!! Velanginaapola thaannu varuthathoda went.

Saloon kulla ponaa oru aunty came.
"You've been here before?"
"Intha thalaiya paathuma intha kelvi" nu yosicihkittay "No" i replied.
She typed something and asked me to wait for a while. I was about to doze off when someone called out ABCD in the wrong order. Ennada ithu thappu thappa letter solraangalaay paatha...athu en name!!! fulla pronunce panna mudiyaama they were calling it out letter by letter. First name last name rendum serthu avanga solli mudikarathuku munnadi i got up from my sleep and went in.

"So whats your number?"
I told her my phone number.
She gave a funny look and said " it should be anything from 1 to 5..1 being the tallest and 5 being shortest"

Aduthu 5 la multiply panni 2 la divide panna solluvaganlonu yosicihtrukarapo thaan remembered..Intha oorla number solli thaan mudi vetuvaangannu. My friend had told that saria number sollalaina suthama motta adichi vitruvaangannu.
I told her why dont you try a suitable hairstyle of your choice. Antha aunty semma vevaram pola.
"I dont know..you should tell me. Which one you want"
"Sidela shortu..frontla long nu" i gave her the usual steps that i give in India. Appovum ammani masiayala.
"7.5"
"what?" Noticing the kolaveri on her eyes, ithuku mela vambu panna venaamnu, i said 4. Athu jaasthiya kammiya..correcta thappa nu oru patti mandram yosichi mudikarathukulla she was dusting off the floor.

Oru vazhia came out and when i spoke to my mom again her reaction was

"Evlo vaati sonnalum ozhungavay vettika maatiyaa..ithennathu thirumbavum mullampandri mathiri mandaiya vachikitu vanthirukka"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

hi! Sorry that I don't know the language to be able to comment on your post! :)
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I was hoping to reach out to more people like my husband and I'm happy that you read it. Hopefully, that kind of instills the feeling that you're not alone, while at the same time, being justified in being proud of your own achievements!! The fact that you taught yourself how to read fast is definitely an achievement!!

This must be what my son is going through whenever me and J bug him to cut his hair. He is so reluctant to cut his hair and everytime he comes back with a grumpy face after one. Takes a couple of days to get back his smile. Now I know the reason why. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I will now reserve my comments after his haircut.

Best romantic dialogues..EVER

Love and Freedom of expression in times of Sena wud've been apt title for this post :) Thought i would watch MNIK and post its review to show my protest. Since i couldn't i settled for watching re-runs of the usual mushy movies which they show year after year in Star and HBO. I was waiting for Nottinghill, Harry met sally, Autumn in NY, Sweet November, You've got mail and Pretty woman. Surprisingly except for the last one, none of the other movies featured in any of the channels!!! Maybe the channel guys themselves got bored :D Anyways..these movies have become part and parcel of my movie watching gene that i've mugged up most of their dialogues by now :D Here are some for you to cherish and enjoy. Without googling..let me see how many of these you can identify and how many more you could add :) " I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crinkle above your no...

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...
