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.

From Confedration towards Confused Nation

Andru: "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....enaku antha bommai venum..." "chellam...adam pudikathada..saapdu" "saapda maaten po..enaku antha bomma vaangithanthaa thaan sapduven" "chamthula..saapduma...amma paavamla.." "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....maaaten maaten" "ipo sapdla..udha vizhum" "maaten...maaten..maaten" The kid ultimately prevails and the doll is bought. Indru: "Fast unto death"..."wont even drink a drop of water...till telengaana is achieved"..."blood will flow.." blah blah blah... And this time the government yields to the demand. Thottil pazhakkam sudukaadu mattumnu summava solranga. Ithuku thaan chinna vayasulaye nalla naalu kaatu kaati iruntha intha mathiri caselaam adangirukum.

Rudhra Veenai

Took binge watching to a whole new level and completed Rudhra Veenai series in a week's time :) The best part of the lot being, i didnt see the last episode to know the ending, despite the craving urge right from midway onto the series. Yay to that :)  The story by Indira Soundrarajan, made into drama series by Radaan have been on my radar for few years now and thanks to my blog mate and good friend Brags, managed to get hold of the series. For long my complaint against tamil series is that they are in no league to match the thrill element of the english drama series. There are some handful of good comedy series like Flight 171, Ramany vs Ramany but none to match a good suspense thriller till i stumbled on the Marmadesam series. Read in some survey that they've been voted as the best ever tamil series of the 90's. Not sure on the authenticity, but they would definitely worth any such accolades. Marmadesam series where way too ahead of their time for any drama series is my...

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 ...
