Ode to the Nice Guys

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...

Paartha nyabagam illaiyo...part 4

Based on the thousands and thousands of impatient comments (21 thaan iruku michamla enganu kekapdaathu....hehehe..)wanting to know what happens next......intha partla...i've tried to make a link for all the three previous posts......chamatha feedbackungo.....here we go... Uma rushes into the reception..Dr. Shiva was waiting for her..."Mrs.Ram... this way...." They take the lift to the third floor..."Mrs.Ram....pls be brave....ipo thaan neenga innum dhairyima irukanum...." "Doc..pls...i can handle myself..." Bracing herself for the worst...she opened the door....For a moment she was not sure whether to feel happy or sad.... The room resembled "Star Trek" set, with wires running all over Ram's body....she broke down crying... "Mrs. Ram....control urself....pls....nurse...take her out...." "Doc...wats happening here...Ramuku enna achu...enna problem?....en kitta neenga sonnapo..minor injury...nothing to worryneenga...inga van...

"நல்லதோர் வீணை செய்தேன் அதை நலம் கெட புழுதியில் எரிவதுண்டோ...." Unable to bear the tension...Anil cries out...."Doctor...Ram is still alive...nelama theriyama....." Visibly irritated on being disturbed ...the Doc murmurs..."I know..."..the venom on the tone makes Anil a bit hesitant.... "illa....Neram ketta nerathila Bharathiyaar paatu thevaya..." Even before Anil could complete the sentence.....he hears a whiplash sort of sound...a stinging sensation on his cheeks...and the salty taste of his own blood on his lips....it took him a full minute to get the ringing sound off his ears and realise that the Doc had slapped him.... "Heyyyy...Ram ennoda creationda....ennoda moolaila uruvaana ideavoda manitha uruvam thaan Ram...avlo easaya vitruvennu ninachiya...nee varathuku munnaidye Ramai inga kootindu vara i've made the arrangements...." Without even bothering to wait for Anils reaction...the Doc..starts singing again.... "நல்லதோர் ...

"How many times....i've simply lost count...too many such incidents...many a times i feel as if my life is one oversized DVD, in which all the incidents which i face in my daily life are already recorded and anytime i might just wake up from my Rip-Wan-Winklish slumber to find myself watching all this in some time machine sorta TV. Many incidents resemble each other so well that, when i encounter them i feel as if i already know that its going to happen in this way. ESPnulam katha vidala. But..take for example the Blogger meet which we had this weekend on Forum, Banglore. When i went into the PiZZa Hut and met those folks, i had a sudden feeling that i have been to the same place to have a similar such meeting before. Somehow this sorta feeling keep repeating for me. The meeting which we had, the things we discussed, everything looks so much like....umm...setpiece, as if i've already done these scenes before. Ditto with certain people. I get a feeling that i've met th...
