Of advices and other vices

The thing with Junior is, at times he does things like Chitti Robot. Podu sonna potruvaan.
To stop him from watching Tv non-stop, we used to tell him that current bill will increase and we shouldn’t waste electricity. Never realized that he will take it to his heart so deep. Matha nerathula laam solrathu edhuvum kaadhula poatukarathu kedayathu is usual story. I was taking some calls from my laptop one day and Junior was setting up his Jurassic park mylapore version nearby. I just stepped out to put my mobile on charge, immediately he came behind me and scolded me.
“Appa..amma enna solliruka”
I looked at wifey with “Eppa paaru edaachum sollitu thaana iruka..idhula ivan ennatha mean panraan” look
She responded back with “Evolovo solren..edaachum mandaila erinaa thaana” look. Eventually we asked him.
“Enna solliruka?”
“Current waste panna koodathu”
“Seri..adhukenna ipo”
“Adhaan”
“Enna adhaan?”
“Adhaan laptop shut down panniten..good job sollu”
“goo..err..whaaaat??!!!” I Immediately rushed and could see the system shutting down.
Shock number one – ellathaiyum save paninena ila edachum poacha?
Shock number two – enakkay intha office laptopla shutdown button enga varumnu lighta doubt varum. Ivan eppo note pannan and antha button ku name kooda kedayathu!!!
Looking at the navarasa reactions on my face, junior rushed and hid behind his mom.

Excellent. The rest of the people on the call realised how useless the call is, all disconnected and praised Gilsu. Junior deserves a treat :)

Why are you wasting current, Gils? Why are you not listening to amma? more importantly, why are you telling mokka reason to junior - 'tv paatha current waste aahumaam, rubber kaathula karaiyum' nutu. He's going to ask logical questions too..... Easy aa tv paatha kan kettu poirum, aprom tv ey paaka mudiyaathunu oru logical reason sollunga Gils :P

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...
