List of Things To Do Today

1. Plan to go late to the office, but change mind coz of vague movie plans.
Check

2. Somehow reach office much earlier than you usually do coz then it wudnt b ironic considering point 1.
Check

3. Gather a herd to watch a movie in a mall in the middle of nowhere.
Check

4. Stand stranded outside the mall coz all the tickets to all the movies playin in the theatre have sold out.
Check

5. Meet cousin you said you'd watch the movie with and give the uh-oh-i'v-been-caught-look like the dumbo i am.
Check

6. Try to shift+del 1-5 from my mind....
Am still working on it...

Sighs!

PS: After a foodcourt session just now, I realized my week of wat-cud-have-been started in mokka Mocha, the coffee shop that refused to serve coffee( and even more shocking..hot chocolates :O)

Shawshank Redemption

A long time ago...never mind how long..(actually it was ejjatly a year ago...the beginning is to make it seem like the beginning of a novel called 'Moby Dick' I read when I was in 6th std n somehow remember!)...i wrote this and this.
Aaaahh! So worried was I that I would miss my beloved gateway (May It Rest In Peace...Amen) that I selflessly didnt think much about the annoying things that came with the braces.
Like not being able to eat your murruku like the Vicco Toothpaste Ad ppl do...or for that matter, like your 70 year old grandma does...
Like not being able to chew gum...
Like not being able to take a full bite out of the giant veg rolls you get in your foodcourt...
Like not being able to eat eclairs without looking like a monkey with a bug in its mouth later...man the stuff sticks to metal!
Like not being able to whistle for too long without war wounds later...
Oh..the list is hugeee...trust me!
And while I do find whistling with no gap between the front teeth sorta difficult to accustom to....its Redemption baby! Finally! Though I didnt quite grasp the enormity of the situation when the dentist actually removed the metal monsters, I am now unable to stop grinning coz somebody offered me chewing gum....and imagine my pleasant surprise when i found i could actually chew it hassle free! :D
So after a million messages(thanku sowmya for giving me a title :D), facebook status changes, and a grin that still hasnt subsided....i am writing this blog to say..
I'm freeeeeeeeeee!
Now if you'l excuse me, I need to spit out the redemption...(for bulb heads...it means the chewing gum)
PS: I have dedicated a sweatshirt to the memory of my gateway...here it is

En Daddy!(Vaaranam Aayriam style)

This one is for most of you who wonder i am the way i am...mokkai wise of course. Unlike what most of you think, its not because of something thats mixed with my food everyday. My guess is its alll probably in my genes...the biological ones...not the stonewashed ragged looking ones...
Now why have I suddenly confessed to that?
Lets rewind back to today afternoon...lazy holiday...i sit in the sofa...trying to make my nose stop whistling..a talent it has acquired ever since i caught the darned cold...when my dad, who's watching some cooking show about baking a cake comes out.
Then with a genuinely confounded, serious expression says:
'Indha cooking show la...oru lady..inoor lady-a paathu 12 muttai-s poadunga nu solra ma...ennaku puriyala...andha lady aala epdi avalo mutta poada mudiyum...ava enna koazhiya?'
(For the tamil challenged...get the translation in the thrd or grp chat! Lets face it...you guys are the only ones who read my blog :D)
And without stopping at that, with the same serious confounded expression..he continues 'Aparam vera andha lady solra...next cake bake aaydum nu...iva dhane ma lady-a mutta poada sonna...ava dhane bake?'
then strolls bak in with no change in expression at all..despite me giggling my head off!
I rest my case!

The tragic story of the nallennai

For those of you who dunno tamil, nallennai is a type of oil. Now for those of u whod unno tamil, you wont understand this blog so shoo :P
Ever wondered how it got its name? I thot about it and this is what i think history luks like here:
Once upon a time, nallennai was just called ennai...thr was tis one particular ennai bottle that was a don in a ennai area (enna area? ennai area..yaess yaess)
So on its deathbed, this ennai's grandson asked 'Thatha...neenga nallennaiya...kettennaiya?'
To which the grandpa ennai replied 'Theriliyaee paaaa' and evaporated.
Then lotsa ennais gathered around feeling sad abt the ennai passing away and the grandson realizd 'Mebbe my thatha was nallennai'
From that day forth, he went around saying 'naanga elaam nallennai'
And who do you think survived the test of the fittest? Nallennais :D

Ek gaao mein ek kisaan raghu thatha.....

Alert: Those are in fluent in our Rashtra Baasha(the language Hindi...not a remake of the rajni movie) may need lotsa cotton to wipe off all the blood that may flow from the ears.
So its just another monotonous day at work...and there just isnt any mood to work.So what would any self respecting software professional do? If you've answered 'Find a way to make yourself work'...beeeep....you have officially been disqualified from being my friend...please dont let the door hit you on the way out :P
Now those who can stay must have answered like this: Find a way to pass away the time...
Thats how we decided(we = the 'GanG' i'm apparently in :P) to learn a language...now again: among you non-disqualified ppl..if somebody thot language meant a programming language...the disqualified ppl are waiting for you.
Here are the fruits of the hours and hours of combined effort to..ahem...learn Hindi...

jaa be makhan - podaaaaaa venna
bandh!! - moooodu
maran graaki! - saavugraaki!
chehra dhekho! - moonjjjaaa paaru
makhan dhoodh - buttermilk
kamra daalke soch - room poatu yoasi
fooo hua bacha - blown up baby

"swine chup karo hindi mein baath nehi karsakthe tho oopar se rope se thongo hain!!"

A: "yeh B ko hindi mein chup ki alawa kuch nahi aathi hain"
B:"alawa na
?"
C: "carrot se banaate hain naa....woh sweet"

"kabhi tum tere naam mara tha?" (When did you change your name?)

"woh waali hoo....bucket nahi ho"

A:"is beech mein bakri kahaan se ayi?"
B:"besant nagar beech?"

There were lots and lots more...but alas! I am afraid of causing mass anemia...you can contact me personally if you need any more pearls

Eeeeeraam....

Its started raining in Chennai...
One of the best times to travel around here...by foot or vehicle. I guess everything starts late during the rainy season coz of the hugeee traffic jams that seem to magically appear immediately after a few drops of rain...of course, there is the option of just getting down from your vehicle and walking...provided you are a good swimmer...or u can make water make way for you like Moses did...
There's also the damp clothes hanging all around the house...coz the terrace is no more a good option...
And the oh-its-no-nice-n-dark-outside-wont-it-b-lovely-if-i-can-just-curl-up-n-sleep-but-wait-i-hafta-b-stuck-in-the-office moods arent that productive at work either...
Not to mention the sinus monster loves attacking me as soon as it starts getting a little damp around...
I can keep going on n on..
But guess what? This is one of the best days I can ask for....There's something magical about the rain isnt there? :D :D

That time of the year...

Its that time of the year when u think everything arnd u is fallin apart...or fallin sick...or givin bad appraisals..
So how do u get over it?
I tried cribbing abt it till my heart bled...apparently arnd tis time of the yr, ur heart's blood comes from an akshaya paathram n u cant bleed it out...
so then i startd the usual think-positive u can get thru tis approach...apparently every positive thot is followed by an equal n opp thot 2 days later...hey i'm human! i cant help it!
So thennn i decided...lifestyle change. I'm too bored with life..wat if i change my routine...wake up earlier, start the studying i'v been putting off for so long...breathe in freshhh air...leave home early from office...see the outsdie worldd!
U wanna kno how tats goin? Its 12:40am n i'm typing tis form my desk at work!
Life! wat else can ya do abt it?
(suggestions open!)

The Ponderings of a Pozhapuless Girl

-Does a peahen get angry wen a more(peacock) calls it 'more nee'? I mean..isnt tat an insult to its gender?
-I am already round...so wen somebdy flatters me, will I luk like a 1 rupee coin?
-Ppl say 'Two bodies..one soul'...but can they ever say '2 feet..one sole'?
-Aal is fair in luv and war? Isnt tat racial discrimination?
-Thinking of flattering again....y rnt ppl who stay in flats called flatterers?

I did get some interesting replies i got when i shared my confusions abt the ways of the world with my fellow pozhapu ketta janmams...my fave one being:
'no they'll be flatterings - like ducklings' for qn no. 5

KitKat!!

I think naming me vetti turned out to be a bad omen....coz the basically lazy me has always landed in places where lotsa work is required. Dont ask me how...I dunno myself
I've never been a workaholic...but I like working for days like today...the calm after the storm....things seem extra shinier, extra chirpier and extra extra funnier than they usually are....making me giggle at stuff more than i usually do(I kno tat wud border lunacy....but i dont care :D)
Now if u'l all excuse me, I'm gonna go play carrom...which I'm abysmally bad at but I refuse to stop playing :D

For the looking glass

Warning: Heavy girlie content ahead!
It is unanimously agreed that I am a fashion dyslexic...actually plain lazy wud b better suited but it just doesnt have the same elan as 'fashion dyslexic' :P
So what happens when i visit a 'bridal' parlor with a bunch of the other members of the 'fairer sex' of the BG street household? Something along the lines of a romcom movie.....I guess the parlor is the only place that has actually made me feel guilty for my lack of expertise on facials,manicures and pedicures.
Enter the bride..followed by lots of noise about who needs to do what before the wedding...one budding beauty wants the 'pearl facial', while that aunt who's always asked u y u havent dun a chin reduction(I have this beautiful dokku aka elongated chin...something I share with the likes of Lara Dutta) wants a 'chocolate pedicure'....then thrs the 'hair spa' guaranteed to make ur hair luk like u'v jus walkd off a shampoo ad...oh! there r just so many terms..i cant even remember all if it now!
Amidst all this chaos is ME...going 'huh?' n 'y?!'...so our fave aunt decides to help out the poor bewildered creature(Fave Aunt:"Whatever are you going to do wen its ur wedding?! I am never going to leave ur side!!" Me:Aghast!)n looks at me, top to bottom n says 'Pls give her a facial n a pedicure' to the 'beauty specialist' (BS for short) nearby and walks off.
Now I'm stuck...all alone..more confused than ever...protesting to the air where my aunt was..shouting 'but i have allergiesss!'
BS: 'Dont worry madam...we'l make sure nothing happens to u'
Me(wishing I was fast asleep at home..i was sleep deprived then u kno!):Umm....ok
BS: 'What kind of facial do u want maam?'
Me:Ummm....wat do u have?
BS: !$%*@!&#)*!@&#_!#*(
Me: How abt i just do the pedicure?
BS:Sure maam...how abt @#%^@(!&^@!*)@(*)!@?
Me: Do u have a regular one?
BS: U mean..@)!@(!)?
Me: yes, tat one thanx!

Then, feeling like a bumbling idiot, I had a pedicure...the point for which I still dont get....cant ppl wash their feet with dettol n soap in their own homes? Is it the nail polish that poses a problem then? Sheesh!

So once that got over, I waited for the others(who tuk all afternoon AND evening), and at the end of teh day, as per the 'Beauty Specialists', were ravishing n either lookin '10 yrs younger' or magically missing spots on the forehead(to me..they all looked the same..just cleaner!)
All in all, I felt like Alice in Wonderland..

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Oh my God! I'm back againnn!Ching ching cha chaka! :D

After a longggg stretch of vetti not being, vetti is bak (ching chinga cha chaka ching ching cha!)
Let me explain how the first part of my hiatus went:
Hey di di! Can you 'run' to the supermarket and get me this? i need it on the xth day of the wedding
Hey di di! Can you 'run' to the market nearby and get me this? i need it on the xth day of the wedding
Hey di di! Can you 'run' to Health n Glow n get me that? i need it on the xth day of my wedding
Hey di di! I have got ugly spots on my face di....how will I look like a blushing bride if my bluch is covered by spots?
Hey di di! I will not be able to wake up at 11am on weekends any more
Yups...a seperate day must be dedicated to the bride's sister or maid of honor as she calls me, for putting up wit the confised bride!
But hey...the wedding seems to have rushed by....i survived it...there were only 4 maamis who went 'Ur route has cleared huh? he he!'...she survived it..it all ended well..
So I should be relieved of the wedding jabber right? Nopes....somebody once said when one door closes, another opens...i think the doors actually stand for my sisters' mouths....yeah the younger sister stayed on for her vacation.
So how did the next few days go? Pikaachuuu! Kamaeyaaa maeyaaaa! DragonballZ! I enjoy the occasional Anime myself...but wow! Now dont get me wrong...shes not 12 yrs old as u'd expect her to be...shes 18! (I kno all u guys r itching to type 'u r 22 n still the same as her'..so i'm acknowledging it now itself n saved u the trouble of typing!)
Then started...aah! the full fledged era of the polar bear! The wise, wonderful words, speeches n phrases of our great leader, the bear as hes fondly called, cannot be typed here. Such is the beauty n wonder of his thoughts n actions! Whattey golden eraaa!
Right now, the iron fist has loosened a bit but too late....the dragonballZ maniac who now calls herself DoT is gone...and taken the laptop with her!
The married sister has just started going back to the office n is back with vengeance...now on phone
While I'm typing this, I look like the Hunchback of Noterdame minus the hunch...one eye bigger than the other...my hair looking like 2 generations of pigeons have hatched there...my spectacles(which i hate wearing btw) at the tip of my nose
Sigh! I dont know what is gonna drive me crazy now....the sweltering heat here in Chennai....or...wat the heck! you'l probably see me in the next episode of 'When Bears Attack'!

PS: the ching ching cha is dedicated to an orangutan i kno :D

Epdi Irundha Naan.....

Its been one of those days...when you wake up all grrrr and continue to b in the state wen find u cudnt eat decent breakfast coz ur stomach is soo upset..its depressd! And somehow, right now...I am still in that state..even though I have had crappier days than this. Can you get up from the wrong side of the bed..if technically..u follow the Indian tradition of sleeping on the floor on hot summer days?
So I'm gonna start looking at things more optimistically....
hmmmm...
wait...its not easy to change mode so soon...
hmmm......
My headache is soo bad that it doesnt matter if i listen to songs in fulll volume...it cant get any worse right? :D
I luv tat my life is soo jam packed...i also like the 'thr r only 10 days to the wedding...u cme home so late..wen do we get the rest of the shopping done?! u have a home u kno!' chant i listen to every nite before going to sleep...it sorta makes the day more complete n puts me to sleep...faster!
(20 mins later...)
I was just away from my desk coz I was in hiding from polar bears (yes..i am in chennai...not in Minsk). I am in this wonderful mood now thanx to this blog someone showed me....
So now...due to drastic mood swing in the wonderful playgrnd called my head...i am abruptly ending this blog.
Thank you for reading :D :D :D
Toodles!

The Big Fat Indian Wedding

15 yrs back, weddings meant ganging up with a bunch of kids u hadnt even met till then...causing havoc wherever u go...pushing down stuff, stealing stuff from the kitchen..getting chided by atleast 4 adults, who also u hadnt met till then.
5 yrs back, it became about meeting friends and cousins...going around shouting 'whr's the food? when's the food?!' and teasing the bride or the groom...whoever u know well enough and making him/her turn red around the spouse.
Now...its pretty much the same...only now u know most of their kadalai history and can quote wrt context. But when it becomes your own sister's wedding...run for cover! Its serious advice...not that I'm anti wedding-preparation or anti-sister....it just becomes !@#$%&#!@ when u'v climbed up n down the stairs of every single sari shop in the city...u kno the price of each model of salwar in different shops...u get to listen to uninterrupted sessions of ur sister getting the usual cold-feet, weeks before the wedding..right before going to bed..which goes away when the next day dawns btw...oww the list is endless! Add the grumbling relatives, the anxious parents, the over-enthued-to-help-but-always-getting-in-the-way aunts, the accounts balancing fathers and uncles....
The Indian Wedding is a big, expensive messy affair....something that drags on till a month after the wedding....no wonder thr r a million movies based on it!
Someday, I'l probably cherish this time...but seeing tat thrs one more sister in the queue, i am crossing my fingers for hope n luck!

The Darkness

Everywhere I turned, there was darkness. I could here people calling out to me, yelling...asking me not to go too far off....grandparents praying nobody gets hurt...parents afraid to let go off their children's hands...shadows cursing me in my path to the unending darkness. On the way, I could hear a child crying, calling out to its mother in panic...I could see sudden glows of light...people asking me where i was headed...people askin me where they are headed.....sudden bursts of a mechanical voice instructing and informing....
No...this is not the beginning of a morose, touch-the-heart story...its the Great Chennai blackout of May 12th. Yups..the whole city was beeping dark....all the way from my house to the completely overcrowded, chaotic station..including the station!
It was actually kinda fun...my only regret: I wasn't stuck in an ATM vestibule with some hunk...I was stuck in the Chennai Egmore station listening to a paati shout all galeej at a guy who'd stamped her stretched feet in the dark!

Boredom

Have any of you ever wondered where the word Bore originated from?
I've been thinkin of it since today morning....did it come from the early man himself? Did he sit in his cave n hit himself on the head with a club sayin 'bo bo' wen he had nothing to do....this being passed down though generations and evolutions..along with the wheel?
Or was it like the Newton incident...some enlightened soul sitting under a tree, in a very vacant, restless state of mind...trying to figure out wat emotion he was going through...concluding he had to name it (to bad he dint think of patenting it...he wud have gained fortunes)..n finally calling it 'bore' coz he saw a wild boar advancing towards him?
Or was it by some King named Borr...in whose kingdom, most of the people had nothing to do coz the neighbouring slave country did everything...n hence the state of mind numbing joblessness came to b called borrdom...n finally boredom?
So after many more random thots of how it must have cme thru in all phases of history, i finally decided to google 'origin of the word bored' (u dont think i was named 'vetti' witout reason do u?)
n here's wat i got:
Origin: bef. 900; ME; OE borian; c. OHG borōn, ON bora, L forāre
Anybody care to explain?

Monday, April 27, 2009

So whatever.....

So i just got thru my always-happening break downs....(they come in the form of 'where is my life goin?' and 'wat the hell am i doin?!' and some more deep stuff like tat, tat ill-fits me)...n at the risk of sounding like Britney Spears transitioning from her 1st album to the last...I'm just fine where i am :D
Not that I'm saying I'm completely happy...i mean..i'm human after all(no cliches here please!)...
some wise(ahem) soul jus told me 'life is round'...which actually makes no sense but i guess its true now coz i think i'l get back to the same grrr state of things again....but arnd tat time, i'l jus update a link to the prev post so u can read it all over again.... :D :D
So I'm still waiting for suggestions of some new thing i oughto do everyday....send em in pls! unless u wanna get into the circle of life (hey! i jus realizd..the wise soul rippd the line off Lion King!) mentioned abv...
And ya...my Bday came n went....the usual hours on phn...the visting of the cousins....wat not....but hey! the special thing tis time was...our TN govt decided tat they wantd the ppl of the blessed land to celebrate the special occasion of my bday wit their families at home....so like u'd find roads empty on occasions like Pongal(which btw is supposd 2 b out latest tamil new year...our CM jus pulld a Julius Ceasar)(Pardon me if my history is wrong...its jus a stry i remember abt fool's day)...the whole state was indoors wit their family!
awww! I was alll touched!
Oh n yes...many jealous souls have alternate versions of tis story...something abt ppl going on strikes coz its my bday....but pls dont believe em....its jus the envy talkin :D
I have successfully whiled 5 mins of my time...n am leaving to while 45 more by watching the much hyped IPL in the foodcourt
toodles! :D
PS: Britney Spears...pls dont sue me....that goes for u too Mr.CM!

Question Marks

How long does it take an average person to move on in life? I really gotto know the answer to this question....it might just prove to me if i'm retarded or not. Is it because of the endless, mindless monotony thats driving me to madness?(Yeah..even more than i was before....thr! i'v saved u the energy required for typing tat!)
Lately, I've been beginning sentences with 'I miss...' to much lately....like 'I miss going for walks after EC in my ragged 'bhavan' clothes during the spring season'...or 'I miss eating lays on the 3rd level of balli'. I seem to have made a habit out of it...
The funny part is..whatever I am coplaining of right now....I'd had much more to handle in Pilani....of course, my whole life dint 'seem' to depend on it...i say seem coz i am still sure there's more to life than going to work and coming back everyday....funny tho...it feels like tats exactly the only thing i do! Oh ya...thrs also the mindless staring at different colours of saris....n nodding n smiling wen u hafta...
I have worked for hours n hours together in Pilani...I've had my share of marathon sessions of tests.....I've had my share of arguments with ppl arnd me...I still giggle now as much as i used to before....but what makes me soooo desperately bored now? So bored that I cant even decipher what I have typed here in the past few seconds?

Guess who's backkkkk?

Its been like ages since i've blogged....really...coz of the life-is-too-boring bout tat i usually sink into at least once every 2 months
So now I ave decided to get off my butt n do something abt it...but what? i did try n come up with different options....it did have..umm..interesting results but nothin to solve the problem permanently...but tat, i guess, is like wishing Santa is true
First was trying to do something new everyday....n writing it down....turns out the first new thing i did too after i took the resolution was to work continuously with a scripting language i've barely worked on before....the next day, the resolution lay forgotten....
Second was trying to learn an instrument....decided to find a gud place to learn n enroll tis weekend....a declaration that everybdy shud report to the office in the weekend damped that thot! (but the fact tat i dint go today is another story)
Third was trying to get involved with, and observing the different ppl around me.....after a few tantrums, my-doggie-fiance stories and drama queen performances, i decided to give that a rest too
Which brings us to the fourth...trying to be a drama queen myself....that one lasted i think..abt 15 mins....till i burst out laughing...(Oh note to self: learn to throw an efficient tantrum still holds...Wanted: Tutors)
Then i decided to backpack across Europe....take an year off....scrape enuf money 2 buy me a one way ticket...then work my way thru whole of europe..u know...running errands...that kinda thing....i guess this also shows how feasible the plan is :P (but i am gonna go one day....really!! :D)

On reflection now, I think this week was actually more entertaining than the weeks before that.....heres a quick request: will the ppl who have survived reading this till now pls gimme suggestions on wat to do next week?

Hmmmm....

So its one in the morning, and I'm still awake..swatting flies, staring at the comp coz the dumb movie i was watching just got over,and even though i declared sleepiness to the world, i just cudnt sleep. Gud Lord..I'm tired...u mite jus say 'thookam varudhu...ana thoonga mudiyala'...just dont expect a romantic link to it though. I'm actually not able to sleep coz I have a tummy ache...which makes me feel like I'v been deprived of food for like days together (n if u kno me, u jus kno tats NOT possible)...n yet, I'm not able to eat a morsel. So nowww u mite say 'pasikardhu....ana saapda mudiyala'
Sighh! there's still no romantic link to it...probably ulcers though.
Its been a long time since I've blogged....maye be coz i felt my days being soo dull i couldnt even draw some mokkais out of it n post it online so the 5 or 6 ppl who read the blog can spend 5 mins...
N congrats..whoever you are...for having read tis particular blog till here...coz i have no clue what I'm writing about..
But what the heck..u r probably just trying to while away time by staring at this blogspace rather than watever it is u work with...I'm done now...so u mite as well go back to work...or read other blogs...or mail in ur respectibe threads...or go have coffee or watever....
I wonder if IT industry is the main cause of thriving coffee beans market....

TGIF!!

Aren't weekends amazing? I mean..just when you think you cant take it any longer...just when thoughts of 'what the heck are you doing with your life?!' and 'why the hell do i even come in here everyday?' start creeping into ur mind...thr it is...the weekend...the light at the end of a tunnel :D
Thank God (or is it Julius Caesar...who was it who invented the concept of weekend anyways?) for Fridays!
And damn the world for Mondays! :P

PS: The last sentence reminds me of Garfield...who does nothing but sleep all week but still has the worst case of Monday blues.....OMG! i am a human version of Garfield!!!



PS: I jus noticed tis is my 13th blog...on friday the 13th....muhahahahaha! :D

The Origin

Everytime I give out one of my delicious mokkais, the most common response is 'How, Vetti? How?!'
Having finished my work today, or rather not being able to progress anymore due to a faulty app, I tuk my own sweet time to think about this...
It cant be where I work now, even if i am surrounded by a lot that aids and abbets my mokkai crimes( but are in denial about it)...not college...the whole mosquito coil reeled till i arrived at the exact time it all started:

(One year old vetti has jus gotten her head shaved, as per the auspicious-commands-that-have-lasted-forever-but-i-actually-have-no-clue-what-it-symbolizes..n has got a new set of baby clothes to go with the occassion)

1-yr-old-vetti(pointing at her head, he place whr thr was once tis black layer to cushion her falls head-first(mebbe the reason for the mokkainess too..mind u): :?
Vetti's dad(standing in front of the mirror):chaami mottai
1-yr-old-vetti(with a nice cute smile): chaami mottai! pudhu chattai!

...leaving my dad speechless with awe and pride about how quick his daughter had picked up his skills.

So I think its safe to say...'I From Small Time Like That Only' (Courtesy: Luzo...take a bow :P)

PS: Any wisecrack who wants to ask me how i remember this incident may hafta talk to my parents who narrate this story with pride..even today :D)

Why I like Calvin so much...

Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.
Hobbes: What's misunderstood about you?
Calvin: Nobody thinks I'm a genius.

"Why isn't my life like a situation comedy? Why don't I have a bunch of friends with nothing better to do but drop by and instigate wacky adventures? Why aren't my conversations peppered with spontaneous witticisms? Why don't my friends demonstrate heartfelt concern for my well being when I have problems? ...I gotta get my life some writers."

Love, Life, Stuff and Nonsense :D Part 2

(Make sure u have read the blog below this one)

Ok…replay:
Ya so kakaraja always had this crush on that heroine..
But she just vanished after that knocked-up-n-baby-sending-on-river fiasco.
She had moved to another town. He searched her for a few weeks..n later gussed her.
Now this kid was his all.he grew him up with all love and care n passed on all the wisdom to him. Until one day….

Until one day kakaraja ju meets tis beautiful girl in a bus….she luks sad…he goes over n asks wats wrong
The girl doesn’t talk much at first…but thanx to kakaraja ju’s easy charm, she starts talkin to him…kakaraja tactfully doesn’t ask her abt her prob
So this kakaraju ju ..flirts with her on the bus..thye are laughing and talking
(mild duet here)
N then wen they are abt to reach their destination..she tells him she is already engaged to this mora-payan guy..n her marriage is in a month

Ok….so kakaraju ju gets a shock…n says ‘u spend on evenin wit me . if u like me more, we will run away 2gthr’
The girl, actually bein forced into the marriage, agrees
N turns out she likes ju more….
She is engaged to the mora-payan guy..who is karthick..who happens to work in a software company..who was our initial protagonist who left laptop n cellphone n took a vacation. (that shud sooooo be karthick :D )..he also does this vacation thing cuz he doesn’t wanna end up with this village gal..but his mom keeps pestering him abt it..n he was forcefully made to get engaged with her.

So mosquito coil over: bak 2 reality:
Ths 3 r starin at each othr in the bus
He figures out tis is the mora payyan wen he sees his wallet fall on the grndn it has a pic of the heroine(kathick’s mom kept it thr so he;d like her more)
So karthik is beatin ju to pulp wen the old lady shouts ‘nahiiii’
she says ‘no no…tat birthmark on his dokku chin….tats my kid! It’s a family birthmark! I have it too!’

INTERVAL

N ending as usual karthick wont get the heroine…gunda will be all ashamed cuz he has grown to be a gunda…but he will be angry at his mom for throwing in the basket (the thalapadhi scene )
(senti family song remix girl version) after long dramatic dialogue exchanges…the mother and son make up and mother makes him see the error in his ways
gunda decides to marry the gal n moota thookify n earn to run family/..he gives up all his gunda-ism.

Karthik gives long speech to heroine’s dad abt how he shud let her marry person of her choice n he sethu vechufies gunda n heroine…
n runs off to the city singing something like “krishna krishna…”(from dum dum dum)
Gunda n heroine get married in a nearby temple n go to meet kakaraja…but they find him struggling for life in his house..attacked by some olden day enemies….this dancer goes n finds out he has pacha kuthified her name on his chest…some Shivaji-kr-vijaya-style romance here……she cries on him n dies holding his hands.

The End
La Fin

Life, Love, Stuff and Nonsense :D

Our hero is a software engineer…walkin into his company on a Monday morning. He sighs, thinking of how routine his life has become, magnified by the Monday morning blues. He sits down at his desk, opens his inbox and starts deleting the forwards in his inbox, which is the usually the 1st thing on his routine every single day.
Yeah until….a forward catches his eye…abt some place far away tat is like absolute paradise…n he thinks ‘shit of the bull! I shud b thr now! Not here!’

He bagpacks n starts immediately.leaves his laptop and cellphone on the table n rushes out.takes his bike n rides off to nowhere ..out of contact with the world..out of contact with his boss.
Just him and his bike.

Hmmm……so its nite time and he’s still riding the bike…wen he sees this bus stop…..he figures ‘wat the heck…I will go whever tat bus goes’

he gets into the bus and seates himself...the bus keeps goin n goin n goin.
Farrrr into the nite, a mob of gangsters enter the bus n threaten everyone to give their valuables…(this shud be the action bit)
So our hero is silently sitting at the bak…till the mob threateans an old lady..tats wen he starts fighting wit the mob…..wen hes beatin up one partivular guy, the old lady gets up n shouts ‘nahiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Woh mera beta hainnnnn!’

Mosquito coil:
The old lady was once an exotic dancer in a bar(item song now)
She was in luv wit a regular customer in the bar..now tis regular customer is insanely gud luking….
One fine day, the two bcme sentis….aftr many fine days, the girl figures she is pregnant…but the guy gets 2 kno tis n leaves her n takes off….
The dancer, heart broken, decides the only way she cud get over him is to start a new life.
So she leaves the baby in a basket..floats it in a river…n leaves the town forever

But in the meanwhile, the gunda of the town, kakaraja, was hopelesslyin luv wit the dancer female
But he never did have the courage to ask her out
Wen he finally sums up the courage to talk 2 her, he finds out tat shes left town forever….
Heartbroken, he sits near a river…n finds a baby in a basket

Now kakaraja has been thinkin of retirement..but has too many gory details tat jus cant b revealed..so hes been thinkin of whom he cud trust in the future for it…
Wen he sees the baby, he decides to raise the kid n make him his follower
So kakaraja brings up the baby like his own little boy (family senti song here)

Word of the Day

So being a growing software engineer, my blog cannot be devoid of crap I come up with during office hours can it?
Lets make a start with 'word of the day'....this is a word we (meaning primarily me + the vetti gang who approves it) (vetti gang does, in no way, imply I am the leader of the gang...I just happen to have an..umm...oft-used-adjective for a name!) come up with on days when we go insane from no-work..or over work :D
