Life's like that

Sila samyam..nammala suthi nadakara vishayamlam evlo comedya irukunu nenacha its really tickling..enga paati is one non stop source of entertainment ..avanga panna sila ravusu here for u :)

My uncle and grandma both are bit hard of hearing (which they never agree to)..They feel it as a prestige issue to admit and always carry on as if everything is fine with them. One fine day both of them met in a function...enna achuna.....(tortoise coil suthikunga)

Granma: "Ennada vichu...romba naala aalay kanum..."
Unlce: " illakka..Sringeri poirunthen...athan ungala paaka vara mudila.."
Granma: "Kengeri ponieye...oru ettu poi maamiya paathutu vara vendi thaana"
Uncle: " Sringeri poitu swami paakama varuvena..gumbal jaasthi..irunthalum..wait panni pathutu thaan vanthen..."

For the uninitiated...sringeri is a holy place in karnataka and kengeri is a place closer to bangalore. Ivanga rendu per pesarathayum kettu sirichi sirichi engaluku vai valika arambichidichi..when we told them what happened first konjam embarrased aanalum they too joined the laughter...athukaprum sanda poatu rendu periyum docter kita anupi ipo machine poatachu :D

Enga paati seriyana ravusu party. Therinjum theriyamalum kaamedi panuvanga..I had a nokia 3315 for like..hmm..4 years..Keypad skin..ellam part parta vanthirichi antha fonelenthu..still was so fond of it i stuck to using it..oru naal..thideernu athu mandaya poatruthu...sogam thalama..atha adakkam panitu pudhusa oru N72 vaangitu vanthen...
my sister asked..."ennada oru vazhiya antha haider ali kaalathu fonea thalay suthi thooki poatutiya..entha fone vaangiruka ipo"
paati came that side and asked.."ennada fone vangirukia...airtela bsnla?" she wanted to show off that she also knows about cell phones and asked for the providers name instead of the makers..

Whenever she came to blore..she will carry her radio with her. Once i asked her...
"paati..athaan ivlo peria music system irukay inga..nee ethuku un radiova thookitu alayara..pesama vachitu varalamla.."
"poda..ithula verum hindiyum kannadamum thaan kekuthu...chennaila suriyan FM,mirchilam nalla tamizh patu poduvan athaan en radiova kondu vanthen.." semam inncoenta avanga avlo surea sonnathu..cutea irunthalum it took me all my will power to control myself from bursting out laafing..apruma sonen..chennai fm blorela kekathunu..first nambala..aprum amma kita ketu she got herself convinced...

Hey Vidhya,

lol.....paatis can be cute. my mom sometimes makes up for these things at home...avangalukku per kozhappam jasti...she always refers someone by the wrong name...a friend of my dad's; Josephnu peru, avaroda ponnu St james schoola padichittu iruntha....with unfailing consitency my mom used to say James ponnu Joeseph'sla padikiralaa....after a point we just stopped correcting her and learnt to decipher the correct identities :D

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 ...

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...
