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

2 phone calls and an amazing week...

Its amazing how much a voice can convey..apart from whats being said. In past 2 weeks i had 2 such conversations over phone which made me feel like...WOW!! First one was more emotional and sentimental at the same time very positive and heartwarming. The distance of several thousand kilometers was nonexistent for the entire duration of the call and even after that call it still feels the same. I am happy for the day i got introduced to "People Network" through which we made our acquaintance and me the forever greedy would pray for more such days. What began as a call to console soon turned out to be the best motivational talk i ever had. That person recounted incidents from their personal life and how they overcame it to be what they are now. It was touching and a rare gesture that i felt so happy that they were kind enough to share it with me. It immediately shook me out of my gloom and i was soon back to normal. I am indebted to that person for that call and for the support ...

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.

Yours Lovingly.. :( final part

The 3 days went in a blur..he cudnt even recollect what he did or dint and was eagerly awaiting for Arunas call..It never came. He got tensed and tried reaching her number in vain..The weekend went in trying her number..When he went to office first thing he stopped short of sending her a stinker..he jus wrote Hi and sent a mail..no response came..finally he dared to call up her office and check..he called jaya.. "Hi jaya.." "heyyy..Ram..watta suprise..u calling me..cudnt believe it..how are u..how are things at ur end.." He controlled himself and patiently answered her.. "tell me hw cme u remembered me.." "can u tell me if Aruna is around" There was a gap before she answered in mock protest.."so..u dint mean to call me..want to know abt Aruna is it..i wnt tell u.." "pls pls..pls jaya..is she arnd? can u ask her to call me..i am unable to reach her..neither is she replyin to my mails.." "am i her PA" he could...
