Of searches and mismatches

“Appa..play me that song”
“Edhuda?”
“Antha black and white mickey mouse varumay…antha song”
“apdinna?”
“Athaanda..YouTube la varumay…nee YouTube podu”
After seeing me silently trying to escape that situation, he went and got me my phone.
“Inthada…YouTube podu”
“Poatachu..ithula varalaye”
“Illada..black and white mickey mouse song search pananum”
“Search!!! Ithelam unakku yaar sollikudutha”
“SEARCH PANNNUUUUUU”
Saree shop assistant pola, I tried showing him multiple mickey mouse songs and he rejected them like the ammani’s who do Diwali purchase.
“Poda..antha song YouTube la illa”
He gave me a look, took the phone from me. I was quite sure he doesn’t know the spelling to type out any new searches.
He simply enabled the voice option and said “black and white mickey mouse song” to pick the first one that came from the results.
He didn’t even bothered to say “Idha thaan theda sonen” and started dancing to that song!!!!
Ithana varushama phone use panren, I’ve never ever tried voice option at all for I wasn’t sure if it would pick the words correctly.
Call-a-kodumai.

Children are unaware of inhibitions and also quick to adapt and learn. This is the best example. Think of it and we will realise, how conditioned we adults are and constrained by our own limitations!!!

Oh so sweet, he calls you da. This happens with children who grow up with their grandparents and hear them call their parents' names.

@thala it's a dinosaur musical song video that lead to Mickey Mouse song. Typical Disney musical.
@vincy: he calls me..his mom.. His grandma...his aunt..everyone as vaada poda.but good observation on the grand parents angle.

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...

Vinnai thaandi varuvaayaa--review

Before the movie review..makkalay..pona posta pathutu mothama naan blog worldlenthu apeet aagarennu santhosha patta makkaluku..ungala avlo easya nimmathia iruka udra idea lethandi :) Uncanny sonna mathiri thirutu proxy ushaar panra velaila theevirama eranga vendi thaan :D Now for the review. This is not a once-in-a-life-time-never-before-told story sort of a movie. Inum solanumna..its so simple that, i can bet you there would be atleast one friend in your gang whose life story would match frame by frame with this one. The story is so simple..dialogues so natural..no major twists (Except for the ending..grrrrrrr). Apramum intha padathula pudikara mathiri enna iruku?? Well..to me..i felt the natural nature of the movie is its strength. No hype..over the top emotions..unwanted sentiments..everything is measured. Gautam menon even pokes fun at himself at some scenes. Its a simple tamil Hindu tenant boy, who is aspiring movie director, falling in love with Mallu christian landlord's gir...
