Who am i

It was just another End-of-the-project party. It did begin as one and would've ended on the same vein too. "If any event happens incident free then something is seriously wrong" apdingara Eddie Murphy law voda prime example being Gils..such things are bound to happen.

Being a total teayer (teetotaler in other words) my favourite haunt in any party would be either near the 'dessert'ed corner or the ice cream zone. This one was no exception. I was debating whether to have the gulab jamuns with icecream or without when i heard a voice sweeter than the Jamuns and chiller than the icecream.

"Excuseme..can i have a scoop of vanilla please"

"err...what?"

"oh..hmmm..enaku oru scoop ice cream please"

Manasukkul "adipaavi..english teriathunu nenachirupaalo"

"oh sure..which flavour you want..strawberry..mango..black currant"

"huh..inga vanilla flavour mattum thaana iruku?"

"oh...heehee..yeah..hmmm...athaan solla vanthen...antha flavourlaam ketratheenga..inga illainu..."

From the way she rolled her eyes it was evident that she obviously was not a fan for mokkais.

"Are you from this project..never have seen you before" she asked.

Gils mind voiceil - "Athaana..nammalalaam oru thadava paatha marakka mudiyuma. Marakkara mathiria mokka poduvom...oohhh..oru vela inga hotella vela paakravannu nenachirupaaalo..ithuku thaan mani kanakka oray edathula ninnutrukka koodathunu solrathu"

"helloo...enna dream worldla poiteengala..entha projectnu keaten"

"Intha account thaanga...neenga entha project..ungalayum ithuku minna naan paathathay illaye"

"I was at onsite for past 3 years. Got home sick. So intha project closurea saaka vachitu odi vanten. Was missing my parents and friends so much. ooopps...sorry..naan paatuka pesitruken. Didnt even ask ur name"

Was about to say "paravalla...continue" before better(grrrr) sense prevailed and said.."I the gils..recently joined this project"

"Oh..cool..tell me about yourself"

And that was the question which made the world stand still.

Tell about yourselfna ennanu solrathu? I am X years old. 18th std varaikum padichiruken. Athula 12th varaikum pass panniruken. Ipdi resumela vara mathiri oppikaratha? Illa..naan ivlo kilo weight..ivlo cm heightnu Policeku aal edukara mathiri solaratha. Illaati..naan intha technologyla pisthu..ithula gosthunu katha udratha. Poi sonnalum poruntha sollanumnu solvaangalay. Seri..Unamaya sollalaamnu..Blogla mokka podrathu..Facebook arattai..twitter tweets..itha pathilaam solli naamalay maatikaratha. Illati philosophicala ramana maharishi mathiri.. Naan yaarunu teriama thaana vidai thedi ithana naala alaiyarennu try panni paakalama? Erkanavay icecream vikkaravannu yosichitruka..aprum confirmay paniduvaa. Naan yaarna ennanu solrathu? North Indian dishu Panneer butter masalavoda nallarukum solratha..ipdi toughaana kostin ketta ennanu solrathu. Naalu choice kekalam. Apdiye 50-50 option vaangikalam. Audience poll and phone a friend lifeline keta nammala totala damage paniduvaanga. Atha mattum kekkapdaathu"

Ipdilaam decide panni oru mudivukku vanthu was about to reply to her. Paatha aala kaanum. Next day my team mate came and gave me the usual "ithelaam-engenthu-pudichitu-varanga"look.

"dei..nethu antha onsite ponnu kitta ena sonna?"

"Aiayaio..naan onnumay sollalaiye"

"Athukkay antha ponnu ivlo terror aaidcha. Intha pakkamay vara maatennu thirumba onsite poiduchaamay..apdi ennada mokka poatta"

Pesinalum prachanai aagauthu...pesalainalum prachanai aaguthu....Avvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.....

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...
