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.

Dasvidaniya - Best goodbye ever

What makes a movie tick?? If anyone has a sureshot answer to this question every movie getting released would be a Superhit isnt it. To me whether a movie goes on to become a hit or not..if you are able to relate to it..that itself is a victory for that creator. Dasvidaniya is one such movie. It got released quite sometime back and sank without a trace for obvious reasons. Happened to watch it today and here is the review :) This movie maynot be everybody's cup of tea considering that it moves at a slow pace and doesnt have feet tapping melodies or any peppy songs. Nor does it have slap stick comedy scenes which might draw repeat audience. This is one movie best watched in DVD..at your own leisure..just soaking in its pace and relishing just the same. If its Nasseruddin shah with Vaswani 3 decades back..Vinay Pathak and Ranbir Shourie are no less a pair to match wits with them. Add in the ever dependable Rajat Kapoor you've a formidable cast. Throw in a decent script and lo..yo...

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 ...

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...
