கதை கதையாம்...!

அன்று விடிந்ததிலிருந்து சாம்பசிவத்திற்கு கையும் ஒடவில்லை காலும் ஒடவில்லை....கடிகாரத்தை பார்ப்பதுமாகவும் உள்ளும் வெளியும் நடப்பதுமாகவே இருந்தார்..

தன் ஒரே செல்ல மகள் ப்ரியா-வை இன்று பெண் பார்க்க வருகிறார்கள் என்றதும் காலையிலிருந்து எல்லா பெற்றோர்க்கும் இருக்கும் பதட்டமும் படபடப்பும் அவரிடம் சற்று அதிகமாகவே இருந்தது......

காரணம் அவர் ப்ரியா-வை என்றும் பிரிந்தது இல்லை....ஒரே மகள் என்பதாலோ என்னவோ...அவளை மிகவும் செல்லமாகவும், அன்பாகவும் வளர்த்தார்...! ப்ரியாவும் தன் பெற்றோர் மீது பரிவையும் பாசத்தையும் வைத்திருந்தாள்....

எல்லாவற்றிற்கும் தன்னைச் சுற்றி சுற்றி வந்த பெண்ணா இன்று திருமனத்திற்கு தயாராகி நிற்கிறாள் என்பதை அவரால் சற்று நம்பத்தான் முடியவில்லை..!!!!

'மீனாட்சி....மீனாட்சி...டிபன் எல்லாம் ரெடி தான?...எப்பவும் போடற மாதிரி உப்பு அதிகம் போட்டுடாத....காபி டிகாக்ஷன் போட்டு வச்சிட்டல? மாப்பிள்ளை வீட்டுகாரங்க வர்ர நேரம் ஆச்சு பாரு..''

'அடடா....என்னங்க நீங்க....இதையே எத்தனை வாட்டி சொல்லுவீங்க...?? எல்லாம் ரெடியா இருக்கு...வேனும்னா உள்ள வந்து பாருங்களேன்....' சிறு பிள்ளை போல கவலைப் படும் தன் கனவனைப் பார்த்து சிரித்தபடி கூறினாள்...மனி மூனு-தான் ஆகுது...அவங்க நாலு மனிக்கு மேல வரதாதான் தரகர் சொன்னாரு.....நீங்க கொஞ்ச நேரம் இப்படி ஒக்காருங்க....

'மீனாட்சி..எனக்கு என்னமோ இந்த எடம் நம்ம பொன்னுக்கு ரொம்ப பொருத்தமா இருக்கும்னு தோனுது.....பய்யன் பீ.இ படிச்சிருக்கான்...பெங்கள்லூர்ல இருக்கற ஒரு பெரிய சாப்ட்வேர் கம்பேனில ப்ராஜ்ஜெக்ட் லீட்-ஆ இருக்கான்....மாசம் சொலையா நாப்பது ஆயிரம் சம்பாதிக்கறான்...

'ஆமாங்க....நானும் அப்படித்தான் நெனைக்கறேன்....உங்க ப்ரெண்டு நாராயணன் கூட சொன்னாரே...பய்யன் ரொம்ப நல்ல பய்யன்...ஒரு கெட்டப் பழக்கம் கெடையாது...சிகரெட்,மது இதெல்லாம் மருந்துக்கு கூட தொட மாட்டான் !! நல்லா பழகுவான்...பெரியவங்களுக்கு ரொம்ப மரியாதை கொடுப்பான் அப்படீனு...இந்த எடம் அமஞ்சா நம்ம ப்ரியா ரொம்ப சந்தோஷமா இருப்பா...

'ம்ம்ம்..நான் கூட பய்யன பத்தி விசாரிச்சிட்டேன்...நல்ல குடும்பம்..போட்டோ-வும் ரென்டு பேரும் பாத்தாச்சு...ரென்டு பேருக்கும் ஓகே...நேர்ல ஒரு தடவ பார்த்து பேசியாச்சுனா...எல்லாம் நல்லபடியா..முடிஞ்சிடும்....இன்னும் ரென்டு மாசத்துல நல்ல முகூர்த்தம் கூட இருக்கு...

தன் அறையில் இருந்தபடி இந்த உரையாடலைக் கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்த ப்ரியா, மனதிற்குள் நெகிழ்ந்து கொன்டாள்...எல்லா பெண்களுக்கும் உள்ள ஆசையும் கனவும் அவளுக்கும் இருந்தது...ஒரு நல்லவன் தனக்குக் கனவனாக வரப்போவதை எண்ணி மகிழ்ந்தாள்...!!

(சில நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகு........)

அனைவரின் விருப்பபடி ப்ரியா ப்ரதீப் திருமனம் இனிதே நடைபெற்று முடிந்தது...!!

பிரியா விடை பெற்ற ப்ரியா..கனவனின் இல்லத்தில் தொடங்க போகும் இனிய வாழ்வினை வரவேற்க தயாரானாள்......

வந்த விருந்தினர் ஒவ்வொருவராக விடை பெற.....ப்ரியா தன் கனவனிடம் தனிமையில் மனம் விட்டுப் பேச காத்திருந்த அந்த சில நிமிடங்களில் தன் செல் போன் சினுங்க, எடுத்து பேசினாள்.......திருமனத்திற்கு வர முடியத சிலர் அவளுக்கு போனில் வாழ்து தெரிவித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தனர்...

உள் அறை வெராண்டாவில் பேசி முடித்து அறைக்குள் நுழைந்தபோது சில மனித் துளிகளை கடிகாரம் விழுங்கி இருந்தது.....

சற்று தொலைவில் ப்ரதீப் தன்னை வெறித்து பார்த்து கொண்டிருப்பதை கண்டு அவனை ஆசையுடன் அள்ளி அனைக்க ஒடினாள்....

'நில்லுடி.....யாரோட இவ்வளவு நேரம் கொஞ்சி கொலாவிட்டு வர்ர??????

இடியென அதிர்ந்து நின்றாள் ப்ரியா.....

தன் பெற்றோர் கண்ட கனவு ப்ரதீப் வடிவில் கலைவதைக் கண்முன் கண்டாள்...

தன் வாழ்க்கை ஒரு சந்தேக புயலில் சிக்கிச் சிதறுவதை நினைத்து அதிர்ந்தாள்...!!!!!!

-கண்னால் காண்பதும் பொய் !-
காதால் கேட்பதும் பொய் !-
தீர விசாரிப்பதும் பொய் !!!! - என்னும் முடிவுக்கு வந்தாள்...

அது ஒரு மழைக் காலம்..
அழகான குளிர்க் காலம்…

மேகத்துடன் இடியின் யுத்தம்..
மழை நீர் விழும் சத்தம்…

சென்னை எங்கும் விடுமுறை...
மனம் விரும்பியது மழையை மறுமுறை..

சுவையான குழி பனியாரம்..
சுட சுட காபி..

ஜன்னல் ஒரம் நான்…

மழையை ரசித்தபடி
உணவை ருசித்தபடி…

*(*(*(** இதுக்கு மேல யோசிக்க முடியல..** இதையே ஒரு கதையா Convert பண்ணா என்ன !??!?! Let me Try ;-)

சோம்பல் முறித்து படுக்கையில் இருந்து எழுந்தாள் ப்ரியா…!

அன்றைய அலுவலக பணிகளை மனதில் எண்ணிய படி கடிகாரத்தை பார்த்தாள்...மனி 7-ஐ தாண்டி இருந்தது…

திங்கட் கிழமை காலை அவளை இடி, மழை, மின்னலுடன் வரவேற்றது !!! படுக்கையிலிருந்து துள்ளி குதித்தாள் ப்ரியா..

அடாடா….சம மழை பேயுதே...…`அம்மா….அம்மா' என்றபடி சமையல் அறையை நோக்கி சென்றாள்..

'என்னடி?' ஏன் இப்படி உயிர் போகற மாதிரி கத்தற ??

'Night fulla மழைய மா ??' Brush-இல் paste போட்டபடி கேட்டாள் ப்ரியா..

'ஆமாம்..கரண்ட் வேற நடுல நடுல போயிட்டே இருந்துது..' இதெல்லாம் உனக்கு எங்க தெரிய போகுது…நீ தூங்கினா இடியே விழுந்தாலும் எழுந்துக்க மாட்ட..

'அதுகெல்லாம் கொடுத்து வச்சிருக்கனும் மா…தூக்கம் எல்லாருக்கும் வந்துடாது….சரி சரி சுப்பரா சூடா ஒரு காபி கொடு…
'ம்ம்ம்..இதுக்கு ஒண்ணும் குறைச்சல் இல்ல உனக்கு..நாளைக்கு மாமியார் வீட்டுக்கு போயி பட்டாதான் உனக்கு தெரியும்…

'ஏன் மா எப்ப பார்த்தாலும் பொலம்பற? …அதெல்லாம் நான் பாத்துக்கறேன்…
சரி இன்னைக்கு என்ன டிபன் !? மழைக்கு ஏத்த மாதிரி சூடா எதாவது செய்யி….குழி பனியாரம் இருந்தா பெட்டெர் !

சரி சரி..நீ office-க்கு போன் பண்ணி leave சொல்லிடு….தெரு முக்குல தண்ணி ரொம்ப நிக்குதாம்..நம்ம பால்காரி சொன்னா..…உன்னால போக முடியாது…

'அடடா….சூப்பர்….மழை இப்படி பேயனும்…Office போக முடியாத படி…

இப்பவே நான் என்னோட Manager-க்கு போன் பண்ணி Leave சொல்லிடறேன்'

mm…இந்த மழை வந்தாலே ஜாலிதான்…தெரிஞ்சிருந்தா இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் நேரம் தூங்கிருபேன்…!!

office போக வேண்டிய தொல்லை இல்ல…அந்த லூசு manager-um இன்னைக்கு வராதாம்….அம்மாவிடம் சொல்லிக் கொன்டிருந்தாள் ப்ரியா..

சரி மா…நான் பால்கனி-ல ஒக்காந்து என்னோட சிட்னி ஷெல்டன் புக்-ஒட செட்டில் ஆக போறேன்..என்ன டிச்டர்ப் பன்னாத..

எதையாவது பண்ணு….11:30 க்கு அகல்யா சீரியல் ஆரம்மிச்சிடும்….அதுக்கு முன்னாடி சாப்ட வா…! கரண்ட் வேற போற மாதிரி இருக்கு..

இல்ல மா…எனக்கு இப்ப சாப்பாடு வேண்டாம்…இன்னொரு கப் சூப்பரா ஒரு காபி கொடு..நான் மத்தியானமா சாப்பிடறேன்..

என்ன இருந்தாலும் இந்த மழைல காபி குடிக்கற மாதிரி வருமா?…
ஓரு கையால் காபி சுவைக்க…இன்னொரு கையில் சிட்னி ஷெல்டன் இருக்க…ப்ரியா-வுக்கு நேரம் போனதே தெரியவில்லை..

'அக்கா…அக்கா…' என்றது ஒரு குரல் திடீரென்று…

'யாரது இந்த நேரத்துல ?!'…'அம்ம்ம்ம்மா''' யாருனு பாரேன்..

'நான் உள்ள வேலையா இருக்கேன்..நீ போயி பாரு'..

'ம்ம்….ச…கொஞ்ச நேரம் நிம்மதியா ஒக்கார விட மாடீங்களே'……….முணுமுணுத்தபடி கதவைத் திறந்தாள் ப்ரியா..

'யாரு வேணும் மா' ?

ஆழுக்கு உடையுடன்….சொட்டச் சொட்ட நனைந்த படி இடுப்பில் ஒரு கை குழந்தையுடன் ஒரு 10 வயது சிறுமி…நின்றிருந்தாள்....

' என்னமா…?? என்ன வேணும் ?!

அக்கா…நாங்க இந்த தெரு முனைல இருக்கற குடிசையில இருகோம்…மழை வந்து எங்க மண் குடிசை இடிஞ்சி விழுந்துடுச்சு….அம்மாக்கு அடிப் பட்டு ஆச்பத்ரி போயிருக்காங்க..

'பணமெல்லாம் இல்லமா….அப்பறம் வா..' என்றாள் ப்ரியா..
'அக்கா…எனக்கு பணம் வேண்டாம், சோறும் வேண்டாம்…எங்க வீட்டு விறகு அடுப்பு மழைல நனஞ்சி போயி எரியல…

கூரை இல்லாததால எதூவுமே செய்ய முடியல…கொஞ்சம் சுடு தண்ணீர் கொடுத்தீங்கனா….என்னோட தம்பிக்கு கொடுப்பேன்…அவனுக்கு குளிர் தாங்காது…என்றாள் தன் இடுப்பில் இருந்த குழந்தையைக் காட்டிய படி..!!

அந்த சின்னஞ்சிறு பெண்ணின் கண்களில் ஏக்கம்….

தண்ணீர் தருவார்களா என்ற பதட்டம்…

தம்பிக்கு எதுவும் ஆகக் கூடாதே என்ற நடுக்கம்…

'ப்ரியா கண்களின் ஒரம் நீர்….முதல் முறையாக மழை நிற்க வேண்டும் என்று ப்ரியா மனதார வேண்டினாள்….

அவள் கையில் இருந்த காபி அவள் கண்ணீர் சிந்தி உப்பு கரித்தது..!!!!

Credit card Callers...!

One of my friend sent me an email about how he handled the 'menace' of the banks who kept calling him frequently asking him to buy credit cards !! This is how he tackled them..and no wonder he didnt receive any call after this.. Read the below mail of his..


Hi All,
This is my personal mail...not a forward..

Actually, one girl from Standard Chartered bank daily called our extension and asked us to take their credit card.

We told her many times that we don't want their credit card but she kept calling us daily.
Today, as usual I recieved her call, and I started talking with her:

she: Do you want SCB credit card sir??

Myself: what is ur opinion about HSBC credit card??

She: pardon sir..

Myself: confused, how long you are working for SCB??

She: Since one year sir, why sir??

Myself: I want to know how much I can trust your bank....

She: ok

Myself: can I know where is this HSBC bank in hyderabad?

She: Why sir?

Myself: I have to return their card, so that I can take yours....

She: No need, you can have multiple cards??

MySelf: Then who will pay multiple bills??

She: That depends on your usage...

Myself: (suddenly) What is your current age?

She: current? (shocked a bit) current age aaaa? what current age??

MySelf: Sorry, I want to ask you about your current salary

She: Why?

MySelf: just for time pass...

She: .........(kept her phone)..

I am in no hurry....so I called her back...(now don't say this is too much)

Myself: Hello is it SCB..

She: Yes sir...(yeah I recognised her voice...she is the same girl)

Myself: Can, I know way to Imax theatre from your SCB...

She: ooh you, sir I recognised your voice, please sir I am little bit busy...

MySelf: I am also busy....but some how I make out some time to talk with you..

She: But I can't..

MySelf: Ok evening I will meet you in SCB...after your office hours

She: Why sir.,

MySelf: To find out the way to Imax.

She: Don't you know really..

MySelf: no, I am new to this place

She: It is near Kairathbad. any autowala can take you there...

MySelf: But I will come in my bike.... now where shall I keep my bike, if I take auto.. ???

She: Sir, i am busy now...

MySelf: Ok Ok..atleast tell me where is your house...

She: why??

Myself: To keep my bike in your house...

She: ....(kept her phone again& NEVER called back :))

Logical Solution : Good One !

The phone rings. The lady of the house answers,

"Yes? "

"Mrs. Ward, please."

"Speaking"

"Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory. When your Doctor sent your husband's samples to the lab, the samples from another Mr. Ward were sent as well and we are now uncertain which one is your husband's. Frankly, it is either bad or terrible."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Ward asks.

"Well, one Mr. Ward has tested positive for Alzheimers disease (related to memory) and the other for AIDS.

We can't tell which your husband's is"

"That's terrible! Can we do the test over?" questions Mrs. Ward.

"Normally, yes. But Medicare won't pay for these expensive tests more than once."

"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him." :)

Anbe Anbe...

This is a program aired by Sun music everyday from 6 P.M to 7 P.M and the speciality of this program is : its exclusively for lovers !!! and that makes it lil interesting...(Atleast i thought so !)

Last evening I reached home lil early and without knowing what to do i tried to watch this channel when this programme came up...

Working day !

Read somewhere that...
A cigarette shortens your life by 2 mins
A beer shortens your life by 4 mins..

Am not sure about all that.....
But I found that a working day shortens your life by 8 hours :(((( !!

Will the day never end ????

Fair and Handsome ! - Is it fair ?

CREATING a new segment in the country, Emami Ltd, the Rs 320-crore personal beautycare products company, has announced the launch of Fair and Handsome, a fairness cream for MEN.

Addressing a press conference here today, Mr Mohan Goenka, Director, said, "We are confident that male consumers' heightened image consciousness will fuel growth in the men's grooming market in India."

My Views:
'Heights of stupidity' ..! : The commercial which comes up on the television for this product.

You can see a guy who is dark and who is being IGNORED by girls first..but later after he uses this FAIR AND HANDSOME cream he becomes very fair and handsome and is being chased by all girls..!!!!!

GIVE ME A BREAK !!! Will these concepts never die ?? How many more years people are goin to believe these kind of senseless advertisements? ...I am sure these kind of advertisements would create an inferiority complex in any guy or girl who is lil dark in complexion esp when they are not mature enough to see things in a different perspective! (ASIN adv for FAIREVER !! Another stupid ad) ..

Its only in India where 'Dark' complexion ppl are considered to be as some 'rough' draft created by God !! Donno when this attitude will change ? Will the ad creators not think some other Innovative ways of promoting their product instead of making these kind of super stupid advertisements..!!????

Please..Enough of these... Fair & lovely, Fair & Handsome, Fairever....!!!

One kind request to all: Be fair and be lovely to ppl who are just not fair only in complexion..! 'Karupputhaan enakku pidicha color' nu paadina mattum its not enough..Try to appreciate it truly...afterall Black is also Beautiful !!

Dear Mr.Bush,
R you so bu$y that you forgot to help the Katrina Victims...?

Break Up Letter !

A soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently received a letter from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows:

Dear Ricky,

I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great. I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.

Love, Becky

The soldier, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters or ex-girlfriends.

In addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his friends. There were 57 photos in that envelope along with this note:

Dear Becky,
I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who the hell you are. Please take your picture from the list, and send the rest back to me.

Take Care, Ricky

Dying to...

Got this poster ystrday in email....! Realised how true it was.....!

How many of us enjoy life every moment...?

How many of us feel satisfied with what we have ?

How many of us crib for things which doesnt happen as per our wish.....!!

The questions never end...But the answers are unknown !

Age activated Attention Deficit Disorder...! Sounds complicated huh ?

Recently when i read an email about this AAADD(See subject)...i laughed out loud...

But oflate i found that i was also a victim of this disorder...which happens while aging !!!

Here is what happenned yesterday....

After a lot of thinking & brooding, last evening I decided to go and get my vehicle insurance done for this year...As i searched for my two wheeler keys in my cupboard, found that I had left my mobile bills there and suddenly remembered that its due date is fast approaching.

Mentally made a note to stop by an airtel showroom, settle the bills and then proceed towards doing the insurance thingy...

While dumping the huge cover inside my bag a scribble on top of the cover caught my attention..

Oh my God...i had to call up my friend to wish her on her bday tw days back..and i had noted down her new mobile number on that cover few days back.

Immediately dropped my bag and dialled that number...called her and 'vazhinjified' a little and gave my belated wishes !!

While i hung up, thought I would better get goin on my errands, otherwise it wud be too late for me to come back home....all these last minute tensions made me feel thirsty and thought a bottle of cold water wud do some good before leaving..

Shh....opened the refrigerator door to fetch a bottle of cold water and ended up finding none... these ppl should be taught to refill water as and when they empty the bottle i thought to myself...[though something inside me told that i myself do it most of the times]

Went to refill the bottles, and finally ended up having some cold limca..though I dont prefer it most of the times...

Vowed to myself that nothing would stop me further ..... reached for my keys, successfully came out of the house, locked the doors...gave a winning smile to my neighbour who came out that time..wished her....hummed my favourite song while walking towards the parking space..

'Holy crap'...I murmured to myself...I should have gone to the mechanic shop in the morning itself....remembered that my brake wires got cut that morning ...

'Damn everything' i thought and got back home again...

Oops..what a day...when I realised I havent done anything as per my schedule I was really baffled and tired..

Understood that it was a serious problem and thought i shud help myself to come out of it..before further probing into that went to check if I had turned off the a/c in my bedroom.............!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drive in my Fluence !

Tonite I will have a wonderful drive around chennai in my Fluence, Renault's latest (though,not very latest) concept car...What a wonderful 4 seater sports coupe it is...Such a flowing bodywork and welcoming interior embrace the simplicity and sensuality of the car's form..

Cannot wait to go for a long 8 hours drive in it tonite...hmmmm..............
Did anyone say its not possible to dream in the afternoon ?!?! Why shud I wait till tonite ??!?!

Kaadhali

Read this 2 liner tamizh kavidhai recently...just thot of posting it here :)

"Kalyana pathirikaiyil veru oruthiyin peyar
Kaadhaliyin peyar password aanadhu"

Irritation, Aggravation & Frustration !

Last evening when one of my colleague came to my seat for a chat, he complained that he was very much frustrated and upset with certain things happenning around him.. While talking about this we used some jargons like frustration, aggravation, irritation and all other '.....ations'

Thatz when we were talking abt the difference between frustration, aggravation and irritation..when all finally conveys the same meaning..

Remembering abt this incident which I read somewhere, we tried to find out by doing that to test the differences in a LIVE scenario.. :)

I picked up the phone and dialled a landline number at random..When the phone was answered i asked

'Can I speak to Ms.Smitha, please?'

'No, there is no one called Smitha here.". The person hangs up

"Thats called irritation" ..I told my colleague...

I picked up the phone again, redialled and asked for Smitha again...

"No, there is no one here called Smitha..Hang up..Don't call again"

"Thats called aggravation"...I told my colleague

"Then what is that you call frustration"...asked my curious colleague

I picked the phone again and dialled the same number and said..

"Hello..This is Smitha here. Did i receive any phone calls ???"

Though i frustrated, irritated and aggravated the receiver of the call at the other end, I was able to bring some smile in my colleague's face finally !!!! :))

**Whoever is the receiver of that crank call.I apologise sincerely ":P **

Will Captain's ship sail or sink ??

Recently i received a sms in my mobile..and it instantly made me laugh aloud :))

The sms reads like this....

*******
Captain Vijayakanth : Andha T.V channel mela case podanum...

Thondan : Ean thalaiva ??

Captain : Naama katchi aaramichadha 'VILAYAATTU ' seidhigal-a podaraanga ...!!!!!!!

*******
Will captain's ship 'Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam' sink or sail ??? Lets wait for time to answer :").. meanwhile we can enjoy captain's political stunts LIVE !!!

After a break !

Its always good to have a break in the mid of the week...esp on wednesdays...!! I got that chance yesterday...Took off yesterday and kind of relaxed the whole day...
But a part of my heart still craves for friday to get over soon ..so the weekend starts again :)
I know am being too greedy by wanting breaks often..But still..when it comes to balancing personal life with career, few breaks like this definitely serve good. It gives chances to rejuvenate the family life...And surprise element of yesterday was a visit made by my college friend.
She called up all of a sudden in the afternoon to check if am at home by chance..and there she was at my door in an hour to see me and chat with me after a long time.

Felt really happy that I was able to meet her, since she got married very recently. Back to work today ! :(((..Afterall they pay me to work isn't it :))

Navarathiri Special..

As navarathiri is fast approaching..we can see the festive fever catching up, with the shops displaying best of the dolls (golu bommais..famously called), hindu homes getting ready to welcome the 9 days with a grand display of golu padis (steps) , children all excited to keep their books out of their sight esp on the saraswathi pooja which gives off to all studying stuff.., and also each one in the family thinking some innovative ways of displaying the dolls and creating mini parks,zoos et al..

During my childhood days i was always fascinated by navarathiri, majorly looking forward to it in the quarterly holidays..and another important thing of interest is visiting neighbourhood homes collecting 'suda suda' sundal and goin back home with a huge sense of truimph depending on the quantity of sundal collected that day !! Though devouring sundal was not my main aim...collecting it was a part of the game those days...with all neighbourhood kids...!

Also comes the 'dressing up' part of navarathiri where kids get themselves dressed as krishna,radha,rukmani and other deities...! I should say i got into this trap couple of times but later managed to escape from my mom giving some real silly excuses, Afterall u grow up at one point of time :) !

The actual navarathiri feel comes when we invite people home. It is customary to sing a keertan (a song in praise of the gods and goddesses). For those who have a knowledge of music, the festival is a dais to exhibit their musical skills and revel in the praise showered (i.e. if the singer sings well).

For the others like me, it is a nightmare. I have seen women and girls who talk in a hoarse voice all ten days of Navarathiri. No, it is not because their vocal cords have been strained due to excessive singing, but because they would like to escape from the torture and pretend as if they have a bad throat. The 'sore throat' has always come as a handy excuse for me those days !

Now when i am writing this, I feel as days pass by the way the festivals are celebrated is losing the charm, with the advent of so many cable channels people are hooked on to their idiot boxes watching 'Indhiya tholaikaatchiyil mudhal muraiyaga...Thiraikku varaamal..Interval varaiyil edukka patta thiraipadam' and few nonsense interviews with movie stars..I think we cannot regain those days when festivals were celebrated as Festivals !!!

20 Super cool one liners ! My favourites are 1, 4 & 8 ;-)

1. Regular naps prevent old age... especially if you take them while driving.
2. Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee.
3. Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband!
4. They said we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried - but they wanted cash.
5. A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms. 6. Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.
7. Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without... but whatever ! you do, you'll regret it later.
8. You can't buy love . . . but you pay heavily for it. 9. True friends stab you in the front.
10. Forgiveness is giving up my right to hate you for hurting me.
11. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
12. Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired
13. My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong! and she agrees with me.
14. Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.
15. Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner.
16. It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.
17. They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.
18. Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
19. Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something
20. Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.

Kewl Quote !

Kinda liked this quote...cute one :)


" LIfE woUld haVe bEEn So siMplE iF We hAd iTs souRce coDe "

Life to your Dreams....

How many times have you told yourself that you can't?

How many times have you put your most treasured dreams aside and sought refuge in flimsy excuses?

You deserve much better. Your dreams are yours for a very good reason and they deserve to be given life.

Yes, you do have those dreams, though you may have chosen to hide them even from yourself. And yes, you can make them real.

Stop being so busy posing for the world and take a moment to remember the things that are truly important to you.
Those things point, clearly and directly, to your most valuable dreams.

Is it frivolous and selfish to follow those dreams? No, what is truly selfish would be to keep them forever hidden from life.

There is so very much you have to give by being the best of who you are. And the more of it you give, the more real fulfillment you will know.

Give life to your dreams. And give your dreams to life.

Thanks Mr.Ralph ! It was a wonderful piece of motivation !

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz :-)

This pic reminds me of my current state
* sleepy friday evening ! ;-) *

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Finally...

Its weekend !!! Yipeeeeeeeeeee !! But before even you could realise that its saturday it will again be MONDAY !! Wow..I dont know really why time flies so fast during weekends alone :(
No concrete plans as of now...Hope to get some good sleep..and will laze around watching t.v, eating and sleeping :) ! Sounds great !!! doesn't it ?

Amusing Music ! - Roads of Chennai

Every morning its pretty hectic to start to office...and ride my vehicle in the scorching hot weather...
But today I found a way to make the ride enjoyable ! Yeah...Started putting my headphones on.. My mini MP3 player...which is an amazing piece of technology...Small yet powerful...it could hold around 2 GB of songs :) Thanks to Shrinath..for gifting it to me :-)

Today started my travel to office..and was listening to couple of songs from ANNIYAN and E20U18...served as a wonderful refresher :)...came to office fresh without showing the usual traces of tiredness early in the morning..! Hope to catch up with more music while goin back home today :)

Gang Rocks !

As my good friend kalpana told the other day.."Adarsh Gang is rockin".....

I realise it today once again..

Lot of things happenned so quickly...Most of the girls joined the institution of marriage and its hard to believe that almost everyone are married and few more are waiting for their turns soon...

Days just roll by...it seems as though i got married just now..but its already been 9+ months since i got married..Latest additions to the list are sumi,huggs,madhu & lp. LP is getting married today...!

Wow..life just has its own twists and turns and the best part of life I feel is...the surprises it gives when you really dont expect it or when u are not ready for it ! Girls once who were quarelling over petty issues between friends have now grown as ladies who are searching for their prince charmings and the few who have already found theirs ! :) ..

The happiest thing about it is the feeling you get when you see everything happen in front of your eyes..when lot of old memories are still afresh in my mind...still can't believe that many of us are married and looking at life in different angles, perspectives, expectations and what not !!!

Hope everything goes well for all of us...! It would be great if the girls keep in touch wherever they are...By God's grace am able to communicate frequently and keep in touch with all my friends ..hope its the same for everyone of my friends...we cannot afford to lose touch..having stayed so close..having met so often...having spoken so much...!! Keeping my fingers crossed to see how time is goin to spell some magic in all our lives :) !!! Year 2005 is definitely going to be a memorable one !

Yet another day

Its yet another day to go....kind of boring one too ! Not much work these days.. Let me stop lying..No work at all these days :) So each day at office becomes difficult and I find hard to kill time ! Though bloggin helps me a lil not all the 8 hours just pass by so easily...Sometimes staying wihtout work at office and getting paid for it is exciting..but when it lasts for many days the crux of the daily life is missing and it feels bored..!

But looking at the personal life factor its getting good & healthy...Unlike the other s/w ppl who slog late and stretch a lot...am a cool cat... :-) oops...! TOUCH WOOD ! let none of my managers hear this or see this ;-) dont want to lose the luxury of njoying life...cooly !

Will meet you again soon ..my dear blog...as you know i have no work, so you r the only source of entertainment for me :) Catch u soon..till then bye from ME !

'Weak'-end

Boohoooooooo.....Feeling very tired & weak !... :-((

Hope the weekend arrives soon...! But its just TUESDAY !!!

Friendship Day !

Today is 13th...! Its a wonderful number in my life..Though many ppl have this 'Triskaidekaphobia'..I would say 13 is awesome..and the story goes like this..around 4 years before..in the year 2001 month April Day 13...I met a wonderful person who became a best friend in my life..Her name is Lavanya and I fondly call her Priya !! She knows everything about me and has been with me through my ups and downs in life..! From that sunny day in April which happenned to be our friendship day..and which was also a good friday :-) we have the habit of specially wishing each other on 13th of EVERY MONTH !! There had been few occasions when both of us forget its 13th but thats a different story of patching up ;-) ! She is one among the few who knows 'What I am' today !


Dearest Priya : Though u are miles apart I know we share a special bond..a bond which grows stronger and stronger as each day passes..Wish you were here with me to share this wonderful day ...Hope we celebrate many more 13s...Luv U lots...Jb

One week's Food - See the sea of Difference !!

Was shocked to have a look at two of the families from different parts of the world...
Picture shows their 1 week's food and you would be able to see two sides of the coin...
One family from Australia which has adequate food and who are literally overfed and another family from Sudan (Sudanese refugees) who are poor and underfed !!

Olympics ...!! A dream for India ?

I have always wondered why the sports people are not recognised much in India..whereas the other countries celebrate them most...

In India, Cricket is the only known sport for many ppl and next comes Tennis...But lot of unknown stars are hidden in various parts of Indian states who go unrecognised...who are not able to show their talents due to lack of exposure...who has loads of talents but are in a poor financial status not enough to exhibit them !

Seeing the picture above, I wished India also had few proud moments in Olympics like this..!! Hope my dream comes true someday....IT WILL !!!

The picture shows -- "Russian Gymnast Svetlana Korkina" !! In Athens Olympic Preview Hall of Famers

Its CARS again.....

'Coincidence'...Just when i was posting about my interest in cars..esp BMWs ..My inbox says 'U've got a mail'.....Bingo !!!!! To my surprise i received some cool pics of BMWs from a good friend of mine ! Thought I would put some here...

Fantasizing cArS...!

From Childhood I had developed a passion for different types,colors and models of cars :)

I should say am a 'Car watcher'...Gazing at different cars, their wheels and the model serves as a good timepass while I travel on the roads of Chennai...

I have always had dreams of owning a S class Benz or a freaky 2 door sports car-BMW :) ... !! ...CARS ! Have usually been 'Men' Talk..but as far as I am concerned i dont like to make it a gender specific talk :)...may be am an exception in this aspect....Would love to talk about cars and know about them...and though am not owning one right now..Atleast I could say am doing some programming in the automotive domain of the I.T industry :-) ...!!

Objectives and Actions !

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time. This Little test should get you started.

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what is The criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized.

Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the Bathtub."

1. Would you use the spoon?

2. Would you use the teacup?

3. Would you use the bucket?

..
Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the
Bucket as it is larger than the spoon."


No," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug."

HE flunked..........

There is a difference between an objective and actions! Unless you understand your objective, you will be wasting your time in your actions. Know your objective first. -- Swami Vivekananda

Go B L O G G I N G !

Wow ! Finally I found what is this so called BLOGGING Means...though i already have few of my writings put up.... was kind of urged to write more by viewing some blogs where some have shared a lot of info in a fine & interesting way :-)

Should say I got inspired by seeing so much shared and so Here I AM...with all that you want and you dont want to hear.. :-)

Happy Blogging TO ME !!!
