Mumbaiiiii bleeds

I am not gonna talk in length about the whole issue... I can just say onething that Indians are bleeding and our country politicians suck to the core...



They have absolute disregard to safety of common man. Why is there a need for him/her to believe in our security, when those morons are provided with high level z-grade security???



Infact, atleast one politician at higher level should suffer the lose of his/her kith or kin in a struggle like this and i bet the whole bunch of morons will realise wat security actually means.



I have utter disregard for any god damn political party in this nation because, they care a shit for common man. They are bothered about accumulating wealth.



This is the only country which inspite of having humongous resources fail to safe guard them. Dont bother about them, they are busy accusing each other and also busy expanding their accounts in swizz bank whereas we sweat, toil and shed our blood to pay tax.



If the govt is really responsible, cut tax from citizens for a year after troubling us so much. Why blame those terrorist when we have enough hooligans and henchmen in the form of politicians?



Why blame pakistan, when our own country is bleeding with no proper governance?



I would prefer living in DR Congo or Sudan and die without food instead of the torturous death in the hands of these Terrorists.



Blame the government for minorty appeasement, quota and other nonsense which they brought into effect thinkin India is gonna prosper.



This country will never change as far as the morons who rule now are chucked or exiled. They are not even fit to live in this world. Not at all. Animals are far better.



I dont even feel like talking about this or sharing the incident. It is quite traumatising. A person sitting 1000km away could feel the pain and anguish. I wonder how the affected would feel. This incident would be haunting them for the entire period of their lives.

The 10 paise boon...

I know i have been boring people with my experience...Yet, i dont have anything much to write in my blog..blogs loaded with politics, cine news etc are more than enough that i dont have anything much to add.


Ok, when i was in college final year. I was having a postpaid connection. I know, we could hardly afford Rs.300 a month for mobile fones. Once my bill shooted upto 1k. I had to pay my bills in installments after cooking up enough stories at home. I decided to give up my postpaid connection and took up a new hutch prepaid. the monthly recharge was 200 bucks and the calls rates from 9pm to 9am was just ten paise. 100 messages free and wat more does a student need?
I took up tat plan. Then on, i got really naughty.. I used to play pranks wit my friends after 9pm. Once, it so happened tat i hardly could catch some sleep. So i started msgn the vetti ppl who were actually in my position. I got reply from a close frnd of mine. So i called him up immediately. He was kind of sleepy and was trying his level best to hold his sleep to talk to me.

Me: Hey wats up da?wat u upto?
him:I just finished preparing for my toefl tats scheduled tom (lazy tone)
Me: GREAT
him: so wat u upto?and y arent u sleeping?
Me:bored, am unable to sleep. i believe i overslept in class today.
him: neram di neram(time di time)
me:hehehe
him: so tell me something interesting.
me:ok, instead of tellin u something interesting, lemme ask u a question.
him:shoot...
me:listen its already late and i dont wanna bother u
him: if you arent planning a stuff like lord labak daas, then am totally fine wit ur questions
me: are u sure?
him: i will decide wat i should be doing after ur first question..

I vaguely remember the time was about 2am :P
After his exams ,he came to college looking for me..Rest u guys can guess...

Spooky........

I dont know how many of them are scared of darkness, but am. I was pretty normal about these paranormal stuffs till i visited cochin last week. My boss wanted me and my colleague to go on an official visit to cochin port to collect reports from two projects there.


We landed there on 31.10.08 morning and our office cab picked us up. We were taken to the office guest house. I was given a nice cozy room with tv. After having a cup of tea, i had my bath. We had a super breakfast prepared by the cook in the guest house. I should seriously appreciate that fellow coz he cooked yummyyy dishes. After having our breakfast, we started from our guest house around 10am.


After a long tiring day at the site, we got back to the guest house. I went to my room changed my dress and started watching tv. I just came out once to ask my cook to get one pack maggy for the next day's breakfast. My colleague knocked my door and said he would go out for a while. By the time, the cook had come back. I ensured that i wasnt alone in the guest house.


There were actually three office people and a cook in the guest house. Another senior person was expected around 8.30pm. Around 8pm my colleague got back to the guest house. We were just talkin for sometime. The time was 8.30pm and our senior did not arrive. I told my colleague that i would go to my room and watch tv till the senior comes. Meantime, my colleague also got back to his room.

Around 9pm, i heard a loud bang. Someone was actually banging my door and not even knocking. I initially thought it was my colleague playing some pranks. So, i got up to open the door. When i opened, i found none outside my door. My colleague meanwhile came out of his room and asked me "why did you bang my door like this?"...I was first perplexed. So we both decided to check if our senior had come. But he did not arrive at that time. We asked the cook. He said, he has been in the kitchen for last half an hour. We asked him if some one came. He said the main door is locked and noone can enter.


The actual trepidation started then. I started feelin so bad. I could feel fear running through my spine. I stared at the clock. Around 9.15pm, door bell rang. Our senior just entered. We were just casually speaking. I told him about the incident. He said he has been living in the guest house for last 6 months so no fear. By the time, he could finish this statement, lights went off. There was a power cut.


I was hell scared then. I started reciting slogams and was praying god like never before. Once, the power was restored, we decided to hit the sack. I started watching tv to keep away the fear. I was watching tv till 11pm. I was feeling extremely sleepy yet i couldnt sleep. Trust me, i dint sleep for a minute the whole night. After a lot of tv watching, i saw my watch and the time was 5.30am. Sun started rising and i got a new hope. After few minutes, I was able to hear the tv sound that was placed in the lounge. I immediately got up from my bed. I brushed my teeth, took bath and came out for hot tea and breakfast. I was waiting to eagerly to check out of the guest house. The same evening we had train around 7pm. I packed my bags and asked my colleague not to get back to the guest house and leave to station directly from the site office. Habaaaaaaaaa..........spookiest night in my life.

How the hell could he leave nayanthara? :P

Weird dreams arent a new stuff to me. I always get irrelevant, weird and utterly foolish dream sometimes. ya, comin to the dream i had yesterday nite, i was laughin abt it even after coming to office.


Yesterday night, my bro packed his backs to Chennai. He stays in mumbai. I called him up to find out where he was and stuff. His flight was scheduled at 10pm, but i guess it did not start on time. I was bloody hell tired due to my expedition in rain and i hit the sack early. I, suddenly woke up around 1pm, messaged my bro, asking where he was. He replied, that he just landed few minutes before and was gettin back with his friend in the car. I asked which frnd and stuff and dozzed off again. He had mentioned the guy's name in the msg and that was the last msg i read before sleeping.


I had a dream that my brother was existing in the next portion of our apartment (just opposite to ours. Actually, he resides in mylapore. :P). Me and him with couple of his friends decide to go out to some place. His friend, assume X, brings his girl friend. Oh my god, she was none other than the gorgeous actress nayanthara.


Now, dont ask me the connection. I dont know, why she came in my dream that too as a girl friend of my friend's bro.
X gives us all an intro. The girl, assume she is Y, in the form of nayan wasnt actually an actress, she was just another girl. The girl and me became friends eventually. One day, there is a big fight between the girl Y and the guy X. It so happened that the girl pleaded me so much to convince X to speak to her. I speak to my brother about it and he says he will somehow make X to speak to me first. X comes to my bro's place and i signal my bro. My bro gives clearance and i go to X and say "can i have 2 min of ur time?"....X is so furious that he says "Look, i will give u 30 seconds..Tell me wat all u can say to convince me to speak to Y. I cannot extend time at any cost"...I get so scared that i say "Ni ithu sollavae, 30 seconds eduthutta, na inimael pesa enna iruku?"(if you take 30 seconds to just say this, then what more can i talk?)....I just give a furious look at my bro and my bro hides his face.


X starts shouting at my bro. Says "Ennada, un thangachi ku enna da urumai iruku enna convince panna? (what right does ur sis have to convince me), avala velaya paathuttu poga sollu da"(ask her to mind her business). My bro somehow pacifies him. The girl Y, keeps crying to me always and asks me to convince X. I give an idea to Y askin her to visit X at his office. I say "That is the best place because X wont shout at u". Now Y goes to see X at office and the effort again goes vain. Suddenly i hear a sound of calling bell, i see that it was nothing than my alarm ringing sharply in my ears.


Today morning, I was so curious to call up my bro to narrate this dream. But, i knew he would be sleeping and dint wanna bother him. I first messaged him to find out if he was awake. I got a reply and i immediately called him and narrated the whole incident. He was laughing uncontrollably. He said "it partially reflects the attitude of my friend". He also added that "Adi paavi, en friend kandipa intha madri oru ponnu kitta ellam kochuka maatan. ( my friend really wont get angry at a beautiful girl like this). But why the hell did you not dream about a girl friend for me?, how could u dream about a girl frnd for my friend?" (irony is, I dont even know him. I dont even know how he looks). I replied, "Iam weird and my dreams are the most weirdest of all".
I know its weird to dream of a girl friend for my bro's friend instead of dreaming for my bro. But, hell who knows wat ur dream is composed of?As far as am concerned, its totally out of my control. Wish my bro's frnd really gets a good luking girl like nayan :P. I will adopt occlumency from then on.. :P

Enna koduma sir ithu!!!!!

Yesterday, around 9am i started from home, the sun was shining bright up in the sky and no signs of rain, as a result, I left my umbrella at home. Just another day i thought and was travellin in a bus to office. Everything was perfect till 12noon, after that, the sky got a lill dark and it was getting darker in the afternoon. I just peeped out of the window to see that the raindrops were pretty big and the drizzle was more than a drizzle. All of sudden, it started pouring like someone was pouring water from heaven with a huge bucket. After 5 minutes, i could find streams on the road and knee deep water gushing all over.


I took special permission from my manager to leave early as i found no signs of the rain stopping. I took my office umbrella, walked to bus stop. To my horror, there was so much of crowd and the whole place was marooned. I was standing on the pavement and knee deep water just before the pavement. With a great difficulty, I caught a deluxe bus. Usually, I wait for a long time to catch a bus that is least crowded. But having seen the traffic scenario yesterday, I know I will not get a least crowded bus and if i wait, i will have to keep waiting. Atleast I was happy that i got into a deluxe bus, where the crowd was manageable.


I was not lucky enough to catch a seat. So many anxious and worried faces around me, calling up their loved ones and I, just called up my Dad and said "dad, I don’t know when I will reach home, ask amma to be cool". People gave a weird look. The bus was moving from bumper to bumper. With great difficulty, managed to cross koyembedu round about signal after 2hrs of expedition on the road(pity the bus driver). I totally lost my patience, as i was suffocating inside due to lack of oxygen.


I got off the bus, managed to catch an auto. He asked 80 bucks from koyembedu to kodambakkam. I was happy. I nodded, got into an auto and asked him to take a viable route that can reach me home faster. He took a left turn near Arumbakkam, took some kutti sandhu and finally he stopped infront of my house. I paid him 10 bucks extra for his extraordinary riding skills and presence of mind, otherwise I would have got stuck in vadapalani signal.. The situation was actually worse coz it was a friday evening + diwali time + heavy thunder showers. Ah, I was bloody damn hungry when i reached home. My mother had made appalam and rasam for me specially. I ate like a glutton, slept like a baby. Ofcourse, I was stuck in the same place today morning also. But it was not as bad as yesterday.

IMD forecast for the day

Yesterday morning (22.10.2008), I woke up and saw the sky was little gloomy. There was partial sunshine. I thought it was another day. With a bored look on my face, i started gettin ready for office. Suddenly there was a power cut and the sky was gettin really dark.

It started raining around 8.30am and was quite heavy. Usually, my street, no matter how it much rains, water logging will be very minimal. Yesterday, unsually, there was a swimming pool infront of my house. I called up my office immediately and said i will be coming only after the rain stops.

I waited for an hour. There was a mild drizzling and so i decided to start for my office. Actually day before yesterday (21.10.08) was declared a holiday for schools and colleges. As usual, there was little rainfall on tat day and it rained heavily yesterday.

With great difficulty, i reached office. In the evening, my parents were eager to watch suntv news to know about the weather forecast (Ya, i used to watch suntv news way back in 2005 to just listen to my exams gettin postponed due to heavy showers). I was warning them not to watch. Coz, whenever IMD says weather forecast on tv, I see that almost opposite of it happens. Yesterday, our dear beloved man who always comes on tv to forecast weather said there would be heavy showers for next two days. School will remain closed tommorrow owing to heavy downpour blah blah...Ya, today morning, the sun was out smiling bright.. I was sweating profusely, while waitin in the bus stop to catch my bus to office.

This reminded me of a scene in the movie thiruvilayadal arambam, where dhanush brings an umbrella to college inorder to protect shriya from rain. The sun wud be shining bright though. He gives the umbrella to shreya

Dhanush:"intha kodai inniku mazhai varum"(actually the sun would be shining bright)

She will smile and say "Eppadi sollara, kandipa mazha varathu.Eppadi veyyil adikuthu paaru".

After 10 seconds, it starts raining and dhanush brings umbrella for her(ofcouse, happens only in our cinemas).

shreya:"Eppadi sonna mazhai varumnu"..

Dhanush:"TV la sonnanga"

Shreya:"mazhai varumna"

Dhanush:"illa mazha varathunu".

Ya jovial stuff, but remains a fact though.

Expiry date of Tomato Ketchup.....

When i was in college, our gang used to hang out in one of my friend's place for combine studies. I used to go to her house jus for studying and there were two other guys who came for learnin lessons.

During 7th semester study holls, there was heavy downpour almost every evening. One fine evening, as usual, it was raining heavily. My friend's mom had made yummy sandwiches for all the 4 of us. There was no tomato ketchup at home. So me and other two guys decided to get one at the nearby grocery shop.

It was raining heavily.. With great difficulty we managed to go to the shop. We asked the shopkeeper for a small bottle of ketchup. He told us "pasangala en kitta oru bottle ketchup thaan iruku. mazhai naala saraku varala". (i have just one bottle of ketchup, coz of incessant rains, we have not purchased goods)

We were quite happy that atlst one bottle of ketchup was available. I remember tat day was the last day of the month. After buyin the ketchup, i saw the expiry date. It said best before november 1st 2005. We were seeing each others face. one guy said "dai machan vidu da, nalaiku thaane expiry date..namma innikae gaali panniruvom..ketchup illama sandwich saapda mudiyaathu mapi"(dude tom is only the expiry date rite?y do we retain the sauce till tom?we shall finish it by today itself)

With that ketchup bottle, we went home and had those yummy sandwiches. Guess wat ? we emptied the whole bottle of ketchup tat night itself. we could better say sandwiches for ketchup instead of ketchup for sandwiches.

OH my GOD!!!

I previously said (in another post) that my mom dislikes if i study too hard for an exam.. I usually hate to study hard, but i exceptionally worked hard for GRE and screwed it to the worst possible extend. The moment i entered the house, my mom found that i screwed my exam and she said those golden words again "Ni romba padicha..na sonnaen romba padikaathanu..ni enga ketta"....atlast, things happened like wat she said :(....

i screwed my GRE..infact i cancelled the scores :(

Anyways, padipu varala nu feel pannara jaathila na porakala...i will surely work less and score more the next time :)

Aatha thirumbi vara- Mummy returns

Vijay tv started the trend of telecasting english movies ofcourse translated in tamil. I generally skip these programs, coz i really dont have the patience to watch a movie on television. Once, me and ma cousin were totally jobless. Just came across a program about review of Shanghai knights in suntv.

Initially, i was against the attempt to watch but when we started watching the reviews, i bet we would have never laughed this much if we had watched the english version.

As far as Jackie Chan was concerned, he was speaking normal tamil. I mean a decent slang. Owen wilson was actually speakin in local "madras tamil"... he was like innada, thoda blah blah.

A scene goes like this. Jackie chan introduces lucy liu (i guess his sister in the movie) to owen wilson, owen wilson gives a crazy reaction. Tamil translation was so "Machi dai, un thangachi superrrrr figure ma. Cha ippadi oru super figure unaku thangachi nu na sollavae illa." What a crazy translation was that? Me and my cousin were laughing our ass out.

owen wilson and jackie chan under disguise, (like some ambassador of some country) goes for an embassy meeting. Owen wilson goes to the head chef to enquire about the dish kept on the table. Eskooose me "intha pathartham paeru inna?"....That guy blabbers something in some crap language. Our thala says to jackie "dai ivan padhartham paeru sollaraana, illana nammala ketta vaarthaila thittaraana? kettu sollu machi". It proved a great entertainment for me and ma cousin that day.

On the similar lines, some famous dialogues which were intended to be serious but happened to be a joke.

Jurrasic park, "antha prani enna thorathuthu"

Shanghai noon movie, cowboys in texas speak Thirunalveli tamizh :P

Exorcist(unfortunately i watched the tamil version of the movie witout knowin the fact that it was tamil.)

"Antha paey enna thorathuthu"

Spiderman II telecasted in suntv some days back...

Inshort, all movies on suntv during weekends.

Of all, i wouldnt mind watching all Jackie chan movies in Tamil. Hope i get the collections soon...i bet it proves to be a better entertainment than watchin it in English.

SWAT cats

One day i was so idle unlike other days, i was so bloody restless. Google's one of the greatest tool youtube is always there to make somberis to somberiyest...so i opened youtube and was thinkin abt the topic. All of a sudden, swat cats cartoon flashed thro my mind. I was watchin few video clippings of it. After watching few vadivelu comedies and stuff i decided to hit the sack.

It is very unusual if i dont get dreams when i sleep. Even if i nap for 10 min in the afternoon, i get dreams. I was dreaming about flying a jet. All of a sudden, i realised that i had co-pilots. One was T-bone(swat cats character) and another was Razor (another character). Oh my God, i couldnt believe. We were chasing someone, i vaguely remember it was the dark man. It was so exciting as i was targetting the enemy and checking the accuracy to launch a misile on the enemy's flight. i was sweating profusely out of excitment and there was a sudden jerk. I got up and realised that i was actually sweating profusely. I indeed got disappointed to realise that it was just a dream. I thought flying is exciting, i shud experiment in real life once and got back to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......... ;)

Ni Rombha padicha seri varathu!!!

My parents always had a very strong confidence on me with respect to my acads. No matter how playful am, no matter how notorious, they know that i allocate needed time for studies. This was indeed happening to me only till about 9th std. After i came to 10th class where i have to face my board exams, they started showing a lill concern. Constant pampering, irritating advises all of a sudden, bugged me. Initially, i got a lill irritated, later never gave heeds to what they said and started moving on. I am basically a person who never cares what others say and i will achieve when it is needed for me. Be it sports or anything for that matter. Even while going for shuttle matches, i decide whether i have to win or lose. If i dont have the passion to win, i just give a damn to it no matter how much people elucidate the importance.

I never scored big in my 10th board exams. Just scored 84% with some constant attempt for last 10 days during my study holls. I was bold and clever enough to omit a unit in physics and also in chemistry. I never studied geography till my study holls. It was during that period, i realised geography portion was mammoth sized.

My parents judged my effort in the beginning stage itself. My father's instincts were quite strong and said i would score somewhere around 70%. At one point, stopped bothering me coz they realised no matter how much they insist, i wont listen. They were quite overwhelmed when my dad's friend said i have scored well.. Till then they werent even ready to believe that i scored 84%. Seeking admissions in a better school was a cake walk.

My 11th grade went off well with lots of sports and fun. Ofcourse i fell sick after a trip to bangalore for which i dint attend 60 days :P and yet i managed to scrap thro' 11th local board exams.

My mother advised me to take 12th std seriously. Ok, i really dint realise this coz of her advise, but on the note of personal satisfaction i started opening my books in the early stage. No matter how hard i tried, i never scored well. I really got pissed coz for the effort i put, it was really annoying to see such low scores. Infact i scored better in my 11th grade. I was screwing up my models as well. Then came the board exams. The English papers, language papers as usual went on well coz there was no need to break my head with concepts. I was left free to crap stuff on my own words.

The day arrived, i was facing physics the first main subject. Dint really put in lots of effort, i faired out well. Scored about 195. The two days leave given to me was fully utilised for everything except studying.

Next came chemistry and as usual i did the same thing which i did for physics as well. The ever dreading subject mathematics was one of the biggest night mares for me coz i was and i am very famous for silly mistakes like 2+5 = 6. I was breaking my head for 3 days. Wrote the exam. Results proved that it is surely not good if i study hard. Believe me, i scored 195 in physics, 199 in chemistry and just 180 in mathematics after having loaded the entire effort on it.

So now, my mom has started having a perception that if i work hard, i lose. She often says..Dont study too much, you wont fair well. 4 years of engineering went on like this. When my parents ask me you have nothing to do? i just say, mom trust me. Never favour when i study too much. Now, i am gonna take up my GRE. After seeing the consistant effort i put, my mom has started advising against studying too much. When i was into a conversation with my friend about quants and verbal, all of a sudden my mom says "Ava romba padicha, romba kevalama perform pannara pa". hehehe..Funny isnt it?? She says dont react too much and write what you know. "ni romba padicha seri pattu varathu, therinjatha poi ezhudhu superA mark varum"...Is tat some kinda moral booster???am perplexed.

Valentine's day....crap

I know its not the time to write about Valentine's day. Would have been appropriate, if i had chosen this topic around 14th of Feb. But who cares, i can write anything coz its my world. Yeah back to the topic, am not a supporter of this culture. I feel, this day is celebrated to boost the business of flourist, greeting card sellers etc. Well, you should listen to weird stories of having different meanings for different colors worn on tat particular day. Seriously speaking its all crap.

The due importance given to our culture like celebrating Diwali, pongal is becomin a history. Well, i could find ppl who could just watch TV with all special programs on queue

Why is this day celebrated? I have absolutely no clue. Loving your loved ones everyday is not your duty?Why is that you need a day to show how much you love them. Neverthless, useless satellite channels potray this day as one of the biggest day in a year. Chappani calls up myl to express his love over a phone call in a music channel. Ofcourse there is a slide running below showing love compatability between two ppl. Oh my god, doesnt that sound crazy ? You should see the rush in restaurants and hotels. Special dining, special cuisine blah blah advertising in all forms to lure the customers and enjoy great business.

Next, those road side romeos waiting in public places with a red rose and a greeting card in hand, waiting to give to a girl who they hardly know. They would have seen the girl in tat particular bus stop for quite sometime. Ya, it happened to me personally. I was being followed by a guy till college for sometime and this was never known to me untill he dropped a gift package in my auto while i was goin to college on feb 14th morning. I initialy thought it was misidentity.. Later i realised, my name was written on it. I read the contents of the greeting card and found the name of the guy was not at all associated with ppl i meet day to day. He doesnt belong to my college, not associated with friends outside college, yet wanna express his feelings without knowing who i am. I knew he was out of his brains and had nothing worthy to do in life. I passed on the gift pack to one of my frnds who inturn unwrapped, put a new wrap and gifted the same to one of his friends for his birthday. I know its seriously stupid on my part to misuse the gift, neverthless, the guy deserves it for doing a foolish act like this.

Similarly the next year, same day me and my friends had been to a restaurant after a tiring day out in college for having lunch. I could see a guy with a guitar in his hand and a blushing girl, sitting infront of him. I really have no clue, why he was trying to act like Santana or may be any big shot from famous music band. He was holding the guitar, singing a song for the girl. The worst part of it was, he was singing one particular line from a song for abt 25 times. Imagine the plight of us. We already had a tiring day at college after struggling with the symposium works. We had come there for Aircon effect and we got stuck in a mess like this. We were fuming, i finally decided to call upon the manager to ask these guys to shut their mouth for sometime. Infact, i developed hatred for that song and till date i dont hear it, change the channel that plays this song.

As far as i am concerned, there are better things in life and wasting money,time and energy for crap like is not worth it. Infact, i hate not only days like this, but also mother's day, father's day blah blah. We are born in a country, where parents are to be treated supreme to GOD. Arent we supposed to realise that everyday is mother's day and everyday is father's day? After all, they sweat, toil and struggle to bring us up. There is no need to remember them or highlight them on a particular day. Praising them and keep them happy everyday is our routine. I wish, we realise this soon and give importance to what is needed in life.

Missing sis a lot.....

My sister recently got married. I know life has to go on but sometimes when am alone in my room (the room which i used to share it with my sis before), i kinda get an empty feeling. Its really kinda hard to digest especially during the evenings. From june to aug, evenings were fun coz on the pretext of marriage preparation, me and her would go out and shop every other day. Even if we dint have anything to get, we go to the IN & OUT retail to catch two packs of amul masthi dahi, drink it on the way and come home relaxed.

We used to fight for my laptop,untidy table, dinner and TV. She listens to hindi songs and i give real abusive comments, she really gets wild and fight starts. Everytime, when i come to use the lappy, she will bug me saying, i need to check my mails. I would stubbornly reply nopeeeee...u do it later. She curses me for that and i used to enjoy it. Now, the laptop is lying idle. I dont have anyone to fight, yet i miss the whole fun. She was the entertainment quotient of my home. Keeps talking about boring topics(interesting for her) to me. End of it, i would simply say "Were you talking to me?". She would gimme a tight slap.

Am missing the entire fun and those moments shared with her totally. Though we were tom and jerry, I miss her totally. I know life has to go on and one day i have to leave this place and its not too far. :(

Almost saw my dead grandpa

It was a beautiful morning.I was waiting for my friend Ashwin, for both of us to go Ramachandra Hospital. He agreed to donate blood for my friend. Well few words about Ashwin, he is a professional biker. Rode from kashmir to kanyakumari in bike. Chennai to bangalore, sunrise to sunset in his bike. Got lots of similar records to his credits. So imagine me travelling with a guy like him in his bike to Porur which is supposed to be one of the buzzing places in chennai especially in the morning, due to concentration of markets.

The ride was like roller coaster ride. Ashwin said he was riding normal. But my pulse was racing 82times a minute. We were just 5 minutes away from the destination. Ashwin was geared to his creative zen and i suddenly noticed a guy speakin to both of us in the local language. I intially thought he was speakin to someone else and ignored him. Again he came close to our bike and said "Enna ungalukku mattum thaan road la vandi ippadi ellam otta theriuma?". Since Ashwin was listening to music, he dint realise wat the guy said. But he asked me and i had to tell the truth. Ashwin was fuming but left the issue.

He was just riding the normal ashwin way of riding(abnormal and unearthly for me) and suddenly a bike overtook us. It was none other than the guy who challenged us in signal. That guy was riding a pulsar 180cc engine. Ashwin just had a 100cc star city with a pillion rider.

Ashwin is a determined guy and nothing can influence his attitude once he fixes what to do. Unfortunate for me that Ashwin had to face the race. He got pretty close to the guy and overtook him near porur lake and slowed down a bit show tat he achieved. But the guy took advantage of it and overtook ashwin again. Ashwin really got furious this time and he gave no heeds to my repeated request to stop the risky game. Ashwin ofcourse beat the guy way behind and took a steep turn into Ramachandra Hospital and that guy was nowhere in the sight. We waited to see the guy pass the place. Ashwin was happy....I almost saw my dead grandpa smiling from heaven wavin a big HI to me. When i got down off his bike, i checked if i was alive.

Travelling with ashwin is safe..as long as the ride does not give you a heartattack...

The so called VJs of Music channels

Sun music was really good, wen they played songs alone. It was really a pleasant channel unless they shelled a bomb by making it a channel similar to other music channels.(well they just assume). Oflate,i could see most of the houses runnin these music channels permanently on their idiot box. If you dont have worthy to watch, you browse to watch Sun music. A female and a guy will be standing, crapping all the time.

Ya, on the pretext of introducing the concept called VJs, they brought in some people to host shows. The utter the same crappy lines, "Hello na blah blah pesuraen, ninga yaaru pesarthu??". Response from other side"Na blah blah pesuraen and surely add this sentence ninga romba azhaga irukinga(if its a girl vj)/ninga romba handsomeA irukinga(if its a guy)". Same old talking for last 3-4 years and i wonder how these people dont get bored.(afterall they are paid for it). You should see their way of dressing. It makes no sense except for few ppl.

There is a horrible program called "kadhala kadhala" or whatever crap. Vjs ask the callers"Ninga ethana varushama love pannaringa??"blah blah kinda questions which actually kindles my irritation to the peak. Some callers dont even relieve their identity on the pretext of getting caught. If they panic so much, why is there a need to call up these channels? I, sometimes realise, how can people be so vetti in this busy world? It is not respective to this channel alone, its wit respective all music channel that runs worthless shows that provide nothing but worthless entertainment and sometimes irritation.

Special programs on auspicious day will surely have so called celebrities. The person would have just acted as a friend of the hero, or a servant of the main cast. They create so much hype as if the person has become a celebrity and a super hero overnight. Yeeeeeee, ruins the essence of watching. A song that comes in the middle is the relief. Ofcourse, the purpose of music channel isnt solved if there is more talking and less music.

Certain vjs luk pathetic. They dont know what to speak and how to speak. Simply apply make up, stand before the camera and speak as if they have nothing to do with this program.

I wish these channels become paid ones, rather than useful channels like Discovery, ESPN,Star sports etc..

One liners (Comedy) in Kollywood movies

Comedy has been a part of kollywood movies. Koundamani-senthil duo were the best compared to these days comedians coz, i never get bored with their comedy track no matter how many time i watch them. Their one liners are still famous. Koundamani being excellent in dialogue delivery, delivers every piece of dialogue with a niche. Senthil, as far as i know is adept in changin is his facial expressions. Vivek was good but now his tracks are out of track. Vadivelu was really pathetic those days, but he showed a lot of improvement by changing his tone. Initially he used to yell a lot, now being submissive on his tracks, he is doing a fine job.

Few one liners that am so crazy about (we might inherit these oneliners for our usage, i guess)

1. Etho Etho kawasakhi, atho atho mitsubishi.

2. Koundamani - Kuda vechurukaravangalukku ellam petromas light tharathu illa.

3. Senthil - Annae ippa thanae ninga segappa azhaga irukinga

4.Vadivelu - Next meet pannalam

5.Vadivelu again - enna kaiyya pudichu izhuthiya?

6. Koundamani - a) Arasiyalla ithellam satharanam appa. b) Suryana namma yaarum suda mudiyaathu, surya veppam thaan nammala sudum

7. "america janathipathy annan murugesan vazhga"

8. Kaipulla innuma da intha ooru nammala nambikittu iruku.

9.Plan panni pannanum, ethayum plan pannama panna ippadi thaan aagum. ogaayyy

10. Vada pochae!!!!!!

11. Gundu paya pulla eppadi kothu uduthu paaru

12. Ithuku mela oru adi vizhuntha, sekar sethuruvaan

13. Building stronguu, basement konjan weakuu

14. Rightu udu!!!!!

15. Saaabha, ippavae kanna kattudhae

16. Naay sekar, Naay sekar, Naayiiiii sekarrrr

17. Koundamani in indian - Vaadi parthasarathyyyyy

18. Mapilaa, Mapu, mapu, vaechutaanda aapu.......dai govaalu, govaaluuuuu

19. STD na varalaaru thaanae???

20. Dai Kitna naaye, anju latcham ellam thara mudiyaathu, vaerum anjayiram kudukarom vaangitu odi poidu.

21.Annae maela paathu pottu kudunga, van ellam vaechu kadathirkom.

Most of us would surely use any of these dialects in appropriate situations. I hope tamil cinema keeps comedy track alive always. Kollywood movies always assures a special importance to comedy tracks as people have got used with this culture. Perfect blend of comedy with the movie is always a hit. If it happens to hang lose, they lose their importance and shine.

Few wonderful scenes from KURUVI

Kuruvi is sure a treat for eyes. Especially kids spending their summer holidays can watch this movie. You can actually bet, that this is gonna be the best spoof of spider man or super man. Few scenes in the movie which utilises physics and chemistry(screen chemistry i mean, btwn vijay and trisha. Both being horrible).

Scene 1: Introduction of vijay in all movies would actually be a bit comical, but this movie has something new for you people. For the uninitiated, Vijay comes out the storm water drainage or rather the water supply pipe line(not the sewer pipe). The pressure (Kg/cm2) of water is more than kg/cm2 of vijay.

Scene2: Vijay goes to rob the diamond from kocha's house without being noticed by anyone except trisha. Trisha being engaged to another henchman alone spots vijay among the crowd. When she is about to fall from the building, our hero rescues her like mask of zero (she compares him with Antonio bendarus in Mask of Zero). Vijay thinks he can remain unidentified with just a small mask around his eyes. Still tamil cinema hasnt changed much. Except for films like Indian.

Scene3: When Vijay rescues trisha she tries to remove the mask but falls into the swimming pool. Wow, you should see that she is not gettin noticed by anyone for falling into the pool, though the party happens around it. Cinematic touch.

Scene4: Vijay cuts kocha's hand with a blade, yet kocha has no reaction. How can a person remain unreactive to blade cut?he is bleeding profusely and notices it only when it is being informed to him by an airhostess or watever. Thicked skinned man really.

Scene5: Vijay stamps trisha's legs in the aircraft. Instead of trisha scolding him, she gets scoldings from him for not sitting properly. You should hear the dialogue there"Ponnuna adakkama ukkaranam. Ipadi papparappa nu kaala neeti ukkara kudaathu". Trisha claims she is travelling first time in flight. But how the hell did she get engaged in cudapah?who knows she might have really travelled on kuruvi :P or might have taken a helicopter. Who knows?after all she is kocha's sister.

Scene6: Vijay's fight scenes outside his house. he gets locked in a cage. The cage goes down into the gutter. He breaks the iron cage(ohhh...what a man?) comes out from the cooum. Man i should really appreciate his resistance. Chemically speaking, cooum has lots of toxic emmission and a person cannot resist more than 3 min.

Scene7: Fight in quarry, he kicks a tree. Lots of sticks fall from it. What a great delivery of energy?Already the tree is leafless, i mean the season is autumn. Obviously only sticks fall.

Scene 8: You get Fossils there. Vijay identifies a stone where manivannan had already promised the gooners that his son will come for rescue on a stone with blood stains. The fossil goes to vijay's hands while fighting and he identifies that as his dad's blood witout DNA test.

Scene9: A place where you have no accessibility to telephones, our villians use broadband for identification of villian via web cam(aircard may be who knows.). Wow what a use of technology? Again our hero uses internet to send all the datas to police. I guess the speed should be around 1gbps/sec. Otherwise all datas in hard disk cannot be sent in a jiffy.
Happa mudiyala, I am stopping here....

How effective is the current Government???

The current Government according to me is useless. Spineless people backing the minorities and spreading violence in the country. India is deemed to have been one of the peaceful nations when compared to African Continent, Israel, Iraq etc etc. Our country is goin to dogs after the Italian Lady's arrival on the thrown

Looking into the number of blast cases that have occured during the rule of congress, it is really sickening to realise that terrorist attack has become common like theft. The recent blast in Jaipur(innocent city), blast in UP, Hyderabad, Mumbai shows how ineffective the Government is. To have vote banks, they simply support minorities and shower excess mercy over the criminals.

When it comes to punishing a criminal, few idiotic politicians bring the issue of human rights. Mad dogs dont realise that innocent people who lost their lives are human beings and not animals. A criminal, master mind behind the parlimentary attack was excused of capital punishment quoting human rights. What notions do they have in mind about those innocent guards and policemen who lost their lives???

Lives of innocent people doesnt matter at all. All they need is support of minorities and the criminals are roaming scot-free.

One way, I admire Narendra Modi who has tamed Gujarat. I would say he is the next iron man of india after Vallabhai patel. Media, opposition party portray him as the Merchant of Death. On my view, what he has done is correct. He has not only controlled terrorism in his state, but also improved its conditions which once was totally wretched after the Massive Earthquake that shook the entire state. Being the Chief Minister for the 3rd consecutive time isnt that simple. No matter what, he proved his might and still lives with lots of courage. I would appreciate if a person like him become the PM of India. I dont mean to say that minorities must be treated improperly but, Majorities should be protected.

Reservation Shit!!!!!

Reservations, is it really needed ?? I really wanna know why these politicians work for vote banks instead of working on the upliftment of the poor. Do all minorities suffer setback?? My servant maid was from a downtrodden family. She has 3 sons and her husband was a daily wage labour. Believe me, she was pennyless 10 years back and now she owns an apartment in a posh locality worth 50lakhs.

She never availed reservations. All her sons were meritorious students who really studied under the sodium vapour lamps in streets. She dint even have money to get them a book. She would borrow money for high rate of interest and pay fees for them. I would consider her a classic example of how reservations should be made based on economy. She suffered a lot to gather money to pay fees for her kids. Though they were meritorious, they had difficulties paying their fees and every minute of their life was a struggle till her elder son started earning.

Why cant our country make reservations based on economy?? There are still people who are lame and do not have access to education due to their economy. Why cant government aid people like them? Reservations till basic education is also digestible. But why reservation for higher institutions like IIT and IIM??.Can they really coup with the meritorious students in IIT and IIM. This would infact create a complex in them. Lallu prasad's son will avail the first seat in the IIT thats gonna be started in Bihar soon. It will soon become a hub for henchmen and standard of the institution will decline. A responsible and a best student can bring laurels to this country. No wonder a talented guy from a forward community goes abroad for better recognition. Infrastructure of the company will die. Doctors will become lord of death. Unless people like Arjun singh shut their mouth, there will be no development in this country no matter what. Hope the next generation realises that quota should be based on merit and economy and am sure our country will be a developed nation,. Otherwise, it will always be called as Developing nation.

F***ed Tamil song lyrics

Last week I had been to satyam to watch a movie. I regularly watch movies and my illuck the only left out movie was KURUVI. I dint have a better choice to spend time with my cuz so we gathered our courage and decided to watch the movie. I have no reviews to write about this movie, as movies only can have reviews. You cannot describe a garbage..Can you???

The songs were the highlight of disgust in the movie. There was a duet song in the end, vijay and trisha clad in those jingucha jingucha costumes dancing to the tune of Vidyasagar. Oh my god. I was piqued. Disgusting part was trisha's costumes. It was horrible to the core. Ya, the director wanted to give this piece of shit a gilly touch and hence included a song in the fag end of the movie, which has totally no relevance to the movie or the situation.

One song Mozha Mozhanu yemma yemma was penned with utmost creation describing the texture of trisha's skin. Yuck, she luks ugly and lame. Wow wat a meaningful lyrics..I just felt like puking. Every time trisha says mozha mozhanu, you will feel like giving her a tight slap. I wonder how talented singers like anuradha sriram can take songs like this..The words have no sense whatsoever. Atleast "Appadi podu" song from gilly was enjoyable though it made no sense. But this song will arouse your anger. I know people would already be fuming and this song adds fuel to the fire. Oh my god, please ask the lyricist to stop penning songs like this which have no shit sense. The song is great test to your eyes. I guess you gotto increase the intake of carrots after watchin the song. Your eyes may suffer from deficiency so btr be safe. Costumes are in par with excellence. I have no words to describe the costumes worn by both. Especially trisha, though there is nothing much write about vijay's as he is on his usual self.

I have no words to express my opinion about the movie.. Simply out of earth, meaning only aliens can watch it and human beings cannot tolerate. Make your summer cool by not watching this movie. I felt ATM was better than this movie and though lyrics in ATM screwed totally, ARR's music hid the ugliness in it.

Traffic Signals in india.........solves the purpose?

I wonder so many times while crossing the road near the signal.. Do people really give heeds to signals? Today morning i was waiting to cross the road. The pedestrian signal was green, yet i couldnt cross the road, coz the vehicles were rushing. I dint wanna take a chance, coz was high for me, than them . I was waiting for the next turn. When the pedestrain signals were red, i saw few road users crossing the road.

Everyday, when i cross road, i ensure the pedestrain signal is green and cross. There are few pedestrains who cross the signal, even if its red. When there is no vehicle approaching the signal, they tend to cross the road. Why cant these people wait??? They have their time to cross the road. Whenever, i tend to follow road rules, people treat me like a weirdo. They see me, as if am from an alien land. When they dont give a damn to traffic rules, i dont give a damn to them . I try to follow rules as much as possible except few circumstances. I was caught by the cops once to riding along a one way road. Though i had great chances to escape from his sight, I dint. This might sound a little too much. Yes, I voluntarily paid fine coz i did a mistake. This is a point for me to realise the mistake i did. Be a responsible citizen before pointing fingers at others....

Cartoon days

Everybody would have been crazy about cartoons. My mom never gave the cable connection coz we got so very addicted to cartoons and other music channels like Mtv, Channel V etc etc..When i was school, the cartoons that impressed me most were Swat cats, Captain Planet, Tom and Jerry(ofcourse none can hate T&J), Bugs Bunny and so on...I used to be so very crazy about Swat cats that every evening i used to miss those evening chats wit my classmates after school. Swat cats will be telecasted at 4pm and in my school, the last bell rings at 3.40pm. i used to rush home in my cycle. I wud not even wash my hands and legs. My mom would bring finger bowls. Me and ma sister wouldnt move out of our seats till 5pm..Captain planet was the next fav cartoon..I admired the amount of info it gave..

T-bone and Razer in Swat kats were my heroes. Infact i had dreams abt working the swat kats squad. I never missed single episode and i still remember every character in the Cartoon..

I just loved Bugs bunny and i would imitate the bunny a lot..I used to irritate ppl like how the bunny does.

Omg, cartoons these days are pathetic. CN has lost its charm, repeating all the boring cartoons. Anyways I dont even have time to switch on the idiot box these days...

Glory Glory Manchester United

I was quite excited for few weeks about the English Premier League results..When Manchester united lost to chelsea, i really couldnt digest. I am a Manchester united fanatic and i know how irritating this would be. They had just 2 games to decide their fate..Yesterday's matches were thrilling for sure. I knew, Manchester united would surely win the game and so would Chelsea. But, footbal is a game where predictions might become sometimes wrong. Ya predictions went wrong, when Chelsea drew with bolton. I dint watch the game though. Whenever i sit before the tv to watch a MAn U match, Man U either loses or they draw. So i rather kept away from the game and got updates from my cousin.

I started watching EPL 4 years back and i hardly knew anything about the players etc. As days went by, i had a great liking for Man U. My cousin is one way responsible for it and he is a great fan of Manchester united, following every inch of the game. He seldom keeps track of cricket matches except for World cup. Enough of my own stories.

I am happy that Red devils are champions again....hope they perform well on 21st may in moscow and bash chelsea..John Terry is injured and Rooney is back. That sounds good......

bad deeps(wit horns): Terry is injured....hehehe...

good deeps(wit hallow): wicked deeps...no dont think like this...Terry is a great player.

RED DEVILS ROCK AND RULE...................Hope i get a chance to witness the game live at the Old Trafford one day...

Trip to the alamparai fort

I totally forgot to write about my trip to Alamparai fort, which is about 100 kms away from Chennai...Alamparai fort is situated near a place called Marakanam, on the way to Pondy. Its not actually on the main road, but you will have to go through lots of small, uncompacted so called roads. Now, after a great difficulty, if you land up in a place, nevertheless you will realise, Alamparai fort existed here...Actually, you can just see the ruins of the fort and there is nothing so great about it. If pictures of Golkanda fort and Trichy fort are there in your mind, then please try to erase it. This place will have few blocks of the palace in a delipitated condition.

The best part about this place are back waters. The fort is surrounded by backwaters. If you go there on a cloudy day, i bet you can have fun. We did a grave mistake by choosing tis place on a sunday afternoon during the month of April. There are boats that can take you to the otherside (sea shore), where you can have fun in the beach. Be very careful while negotiating rates with the local fishermen for the boat ride, because they are highly volatile and wont stick to the same rates till the end. We faced a nightmare wit a man who demanded 2k while we initially fixed just Rs.350/-. He said he wont let us to the other side. We somehow paid just Rs.350/- and reached the other side. Be careful, even if you are threatened by him, dont lose your nerve, be brave and face him stating you wont be shelling even a single rupee extra.

Better pack lunch, otherwise it is very difficult for you have food. Especially people sensitive to road side dhaba, wise decision if you carry food. We actually took food from home, one item from each of us.

On the whole, it was a great experience. Infact, there are lots of places in outskirts of chennai, which most of them havent come across. We took pictures of sunset near back waters on the way to Chennai from Marakanam. Its a splendid place for taking pictures...Please dont venture into the backwaters as the sand is pretty loose.

Meet up after a long time

Post dedicated to my best friends in college...

We all decided to meet on a saturday evening...Hari & Suri had come from Bangalore, Rohini from hyderabad. I know we have become refined corporates now, yet we still remain the same. Hari - A girl who always laughs for anything and everything...

Rohini - Still watching cartoon network...

Meena - Same reclusive girl and opens up only if she has mood

Suri - Same solo suri...

Vijay - i have no comments to offer.....

This meeting sans vijay lacked spice, yet we accomplished it, inspite of our busy schedule. Hmmm, we decided to have a night out at rohini's house...When i was climbing the stairs of her apartment, every step reminded me of those wonderful moments i had wit them. Rohini's house was more like a second home to me and her mom never hesitated to serve us wit food anytime. Every part of life is wonderful, be it school days, college days etc....but my college days seemed more wonderful to me than anything else....tats purely because of my friends. Infact, rohini's mom's affection prevented me from visiting my parents home at coimbatore...I never missed them.

I know this post wud sound so stupid and emotional but i wanted to share... I want to show, how special are these ppl to me.....hats off guys.....

Summer time........

A post after a long time...
I know its summer time..heat waves arent a new stuff to ppl in chennai. These days you could find no house witout aircons...My dad wanted to put aircon in my room, i strictly objected to it. Two reasons, electricity bills and rate of emmission. Aircons are needed in houses where you dont have proper ventilation. How did we manage ten years before?Aircons were a matter of luxury those days and it is well known tat only rich people were entitled. Now, it has become a necessity and yet i manage witout it because, my house is blessed wit a park close by.

Am one way glad tat am managing this summer witout aircon and reducing emmissions. It is not only wit respect to emmission, am saving a lot on electricity. Aircon is must if it is really intolerable. Else, chuck it. You can manage witout it.

PLIGHT OF SUDAN

I was so touched after coming across various news articles about the plight of sudan. So i just felt like jotting down few horrifying things that i came across.

Sudan's population is impoverished and has been victimised by almost 2 decades of civil war. Sudan is one of those 38 countries eligible for borrowing funds from other countries. It can be rather called as "Heavily indebted poor country".

The most amazing and as well as the sadest part is, Sudan is sitting on major oil reserves. These oil reserves are more than enough for the country to stabilize its economy. Obviously economic development will lead to peaceful life for those innocent citizens who are in need of all basic facilities - food, clothing and shelter.

The same oil production is bankrolling the Government's pursuit of Genocide against its own people. Sudan is one of those countries, where arms trafficking are highly prevalent. Arms trafficking in Sudan are only benefitting few and are an abuse to many.

Sudan also includes massive human right abuses like killing, rape and displacement of more than million civilians. Due to arms trafficking, Sudan is facing major economic crisis. Most of the Developed Countries around the world are involved in arms trafficking either directly or indirectly for getting the benefit of those oil reserves. To add fuel to the fire, the Genocidal campaign of the Sudanese (Muslim) government against native Muslims living in the newly-discovered oil field lands of Darfur has been actively pursued through government-assisted militias, primarily the Janjawid. Yet, the Government claims that it has got nothing to do with it and is totally uninvolved.

It is rather shameful to realise that the developed nations are involved for the sake of its benefit. Innocent civilians are being tested. Long term solutions to the problems would be disarmament, demobilisation of arms in conflict enriched countries. Effective conflict resolutions should be proccessed for countries like Sudan,Somalia and countries fallin on the same line.

Haaa….y need a nano car????


It was a Friday evening I was traveling back home from office. There is no need for elaborating the traffic scenario of Chennai. Everybody should be aware of it. There is a long signal on my way home. Its actually a junction linking all the major places in the city. Every wait is not less than 15 minutes.

I was traveling in a share auto and I was waiting in that signal. I was just peeping out of the window to notice a family occupying a Honda Activa bike. For a minute, I thought I was hallucinating…

I was shocked to see 3 adults and 2 kids on a bike. One adult in the age of group of 45 – 50. Other two were in late 20s. One kid below 2yrs and the other would have been hardly 5 yrs. (Why need a NANO car, when people have found ways to travel in a 2 wheeler frivolously like this?? ). I wanted to take a picture of it, but unfortunately my mobile cam is not that perfect for a zoom.

I was first aghast. The first question that came to my mind was “how did they manage to accommodate five people in a bike?” Infact it is quite an uneasy thing to accommodate 5 persons in a small segment car. Next question was “How could people do such a grave mistake?” Don’t they have any sense of responsibility? The road in which they travel is a marked accident-prone zone. Yet, they care a shit. Honda activa is a heavy bike, if rider loses balance thats it. I could see the rider was struggling to coup with the weight. He was trying hard to balance and I could see the crowds attention on him. I could see worried faces, but this man, he never bothered.

I was so bloody worried about their safety but the man riding the bike was merrily chatting with the other two. Irony was the traffic policeman was standing very close to them and did not penalize them. In a share auto, if the policeman tries to find out an extra passenger, he heavily fines them. Why the hell does he leave those who care a shit about road safety???I couldnt find an answer for this. Solution to curtail such stupid act is to enforce rules. Heavy penalty and proper enforcement can only prevent negligent idiots from making grave mistakes.

Budding Software Engineer

I was once out with my friends to the busy beach bessie. This meeting was organised almost after an year.

I have been to the beach a lot of times, but this day it was so special. I met a small kid selling Sundal and Muruku. It happened to be a saturday evening, the beach was busy,people hardly gave any heeds to this small boy. I could see agony encumbering him, but still found the determination in him.

I called for the small fellow. I asked him why he was selling sundal at this age instead of studying? He replied that he was studying in a government school and he sells sundal only on weekends. That sounded pretty interesting, because he dint waste his glorious childhood days selling sundal.He even added that his father is no more so his mom sells sundals on weekdays and he does it on weekends to make both ends meet.

I became even more curious and asked him about all his details. We also threatened him not to lie and said that we would surely cross verify. He gave us the entire details. The small boy kept talkin to us about his favourite subject.Infact we also questioned him to check the credibility and reliability of his information. He was perfect and upto the standard.

I really felt to happy for having met a kid like him. To much of my surprise, the boy said he would like to become a Software Engineer in future. I was seriously stunned to hear his ambition because there are people who still lacks the knowledge about the advent of Information Tech in the world. I was agaped when the small fellow dwelling in slum says he wants to become a software engineer, i, that moment felt"India is really Shinning".

Common Cold…………..GRRRRRRRRRR

This is winter…High possibility of being attacked by an irritating disease called Common Cold. I found that there is no bloody proper cure for Common Cold till date. I know the effect of it more because I often become the victim of it, irrespective of the weather and season. It has always been a nightmare.

Common cold worries me a lot because I suffer sleepless nights due to nose block. It’s a horrifying experience and you roam about the house, you will envy people at home in deep slumber. You must be terribly tired yet your nasal blockade will hold you from sleeping. Roam there, roam here, you wait for someone to wake up to see your plight. Give you a cup of horlicks. (There are few selfish people who wake up others if they don’t get to sleep properly). Bad day if they seldom notice your plight.

Now, you enter kitchen with the motive of finding something to drink. Your throat is dry and it is waiting to cough. U suppress with all might because if your parents happen to hear it, they will surely yell at you. For next couple of days, they will blame you for disturbing their sleep and dreams.

You look for pills like crocin in the night. Unfortunately, you would have disposed the old stocks and forgot to the buy the new stuff. The thought will just ring only during the frantic search and all your efforts go in vain. By the time, you manage to find a pill and get back to bed, you hear the cuckoos sing and crow’s kaaa…ya its dawn. That’s it cold just steals the entire normalcy out of your life.

“Prevention is better than Cure” is a beautiful proverb. Anyways who gives a damn to it? We would say to our self, oh!!!! Shouldn’t have done this, done that and stuff. In end you suffer. Of course I give a damn to it. Eat ice creams in winter and pay heavily to doctors. I dread if I start experiencing the symptom of catching cold.

From my knowledge and few things from paati’s ideas, I suggest few home remedies that are practical and very beneficial during cold. They have no side effects and are absolutely harmless. These remedies are feasible and do give you a good relief. I know a lot of people might know few remedies yet I would like to share a few.

1. If you have solid turmeric, (not turmeric powder and I guess most of house will have solid turmeric), heat the turmeric in the direct flame, inhale the fumes. They offer best solution to your nasal blockade. The fumes are bit irritating yet the give you good relief after sometime. This remedy is damn good effective for nasal blockade. I felt it reduced the density of phlegm and brought enormous relief to my nasal block.

2. If you are willing to color your hair with red, then here it goes a remedy that is best suited for removing excess water content that causes sinus and head ache. Mix kumkum (kungumum) and Vibhudi (thiruneer in pure tamizh) with hot water and make paste of it. Apply it on your forehead and a bit on your head. This gives to excellent relief. This is called the pathu in Tamil. One the greatest remedy suggested by our good old paatis.

3. Mix pepper powder with honey and consume it for curing sore throat and throat pain. Pepper is the best relief for sore throat and so is honey.

4. Ask your mother to mix turmeric powder and pepper powder in milk. Heat the milk and drink it by adding less sugar. This is a very good remedy and soothing relief to throat infections. Don’t often drink coffee and tea under the pretext that it will relieve the stress. Drinks with caffine is more detrimental to health during cold.

5. You can also eat clove, or eat a piece of onion to help controlling running nose and nasal blockade.

6. Drink ginger tea. Ginger controls spreading of cold. You can also boil ginger with milk and little pepper in it would give you a good relief.

7. There is a stinky remedy for your ear blocks… I know most of them would go deaf when we have severe cold. Just fry few and small pieces of garlic in little oil. Keep it in the entry point of your ears. It removes the block and improves hearing ability. Garlic consumption also helps to control sneeze. People sensitive to it may avoid. Have garlic rasam, its tasty and a good relief for cold.

8. Add few drops of lemon in hot water with a teaspoon of honey will reduce common cold. There is a double benefit. This will also help you reduce weight. For people who are following the strategies to reduce weight might opt for this remedy as well.

9. Apart from all this, Personal hygiene is very essential. Always wash your hands and keep them clean.

10. While bathing, mix few drops of Eucalyptus oil. Makes you feel very good.

The remedies are pretty simple and most of products suggested here would be surely available at home. I guess there is no need for a strong dosage of medicine, which are mildly soporific and puts you in good slumber, reducing your performance. If the above therapies don’t work out don’t blame me. All these have worked out for me pretty well.

There is no Universal cure for cold. These remedies just give you relief and sometimes prevent the attack. They don’t cure. Don’t hold me responsible if its not working out for you. It surely worked out for me.

P.S: Kind advise to people who suffer cold. Please don’t split the phlegm in a public place like roads, bus stops etc. Be educated and be civilized.

Taare Zameen Par

This is my first post for the New Year. I know all my topics in the blog were kinda senseless, but this one should sound a bit sensible.

I watched Taare Zameen Par on 31st December. I am not here to write the review of the movie. I generally wanted to share the special things in the movie that me go nostalgic. I could see my school days reflecting in the movie. Those home works, punishments and exams everything stood before me.

I have always been a great fan of Aamir Khan and his movies. If you had asked which is ur favorite movie of his, I would say Lagaan. But seriously speaking, Taare Zameen Par would top the list now. This movie is even better than Maniratnam’s Kannathil Muthamittal, still this is my opinion and they do differ.

I couldn’t control my emotions while watching the movie and I felt very sad when I walked out of the cinema hall. This was not only with respect to me, but there were so many people who had the same feeling. I guess most of them would have been nostalgic. I was with my friends; still I couldn’t shut my doors of emotion.

The movie was all about a kid suffering from Dyslexia, a disability to recognize letters and words and also read and write. This movie doesn’t sound like a directorial debut of Aamir. He has the touch of matured directors. From mother character, to showing a roadside dog, everything goes natural. Wow, the kid, at this age realizing the importance, essence and strength of its character acted so well.


The pain, the agony and abash the kid undergoes in the movie definitely makes any kind of a person to feel emotional. I just went back to those homework days, where I hardly touched my homework notebooks and kneeled down outside the class without slightest embarrassment(this was a part in the movie). (Fortunately I dint suffer from dyslexia).

After seeing the movie, there is no need for a person to refer google for knowing about Dyslexia, Aamir has covered every angle of it. (Anyways I have personally witnessed a kid suffering from it and I know how it feels to make it understand what things are. But the kid is exceptionally talented).

Waking up in the morning, talking a lazy bath and munching half breakfast, running for the bus, going to school and waiting to get punished for not doing homework. That is typically a school life. I could see those moments in the movie Taare Zameen Par. Awesome performance by every body in the movie.

There are lots of movies wherein you just watch, come out and forget. Taare Zameen par is one those few movies that will make you watch, think and finally never gets erased out of your mind. I loved every bit of it, every sense of it.

I really don’t want to spoil the essence of the movie by writing my version of it, people watch it yourself and I bet it will definitely take you to those days u spent in school without worries and responsibilities burdening your shoulders. I hope this movie goes from India to Oscars. I hope the jury nominating the movie is blind folded. I hope it takes a responsible decision by sending Taare..... .

This movie is strictly for not those, who watch masala movies directed by perarasu and other much-hyped directors in India. If directors like perarasu takes up this project, then the kid itself would speak punch dialogues in front of the camera, does stunt sequences and surely yes, mother sentiment finds its place. You can wonder why I have written only about perarasu, because he is one such director, who is pulling down the reputation of Tamil cinema by bringing out senseless commercial films, which just deviates the kids, rather than educating them. There are still few directors like him in the league. Anyways I am not here to depreciate their reputation, but to appreciate Aamir’s performance as a Director first and actor only next. Aamir is now in the list of “my favorite directors”. Find out yourself if he has the ability to find a place in your list.
