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...
