Carl Lewis Of MIG-8

I opted to stay in the College hostel from the second year of my college.Our college was expanding then. Demand for hostel accommodation was high as against the availability of rooms. So staff quarters were becoming hostels then. I got an accommodation in one such building, MIG. After few weeks, we somehow managed to get our group in MIG and we were a 8 member team.

Though initially we stayed sharing two apartments in our 2nd year, we managed to have a house as our accommodation...... 8 of us and there was no room for any melancholy. Fun and mockery were always in the air. Our department was a ten minute walk from our hostel while, our college office building and temple were a good 15-20 min walk.

The people in the first year classes were shuffled and put in many different sections of our department in our second year. Each of us felt we missed someone or the other coz of the shuffling, but eventually we got over it and found our new pals and kept the good rapport with our old pals too.

My buddy and a close pal of mine vasan, too had one such friend. Well as fate has its way, they too were separated. Vasan throughout his school days, had never shared a class room with a girl. Voila, for him everything was new, meeting women, sharing labs classes, having them as part of your lab team etc....He did find a very good friend in the first year of the opposite sex.

Since they were put in different sections of the same department in the second year and because of his upcoming from a boys environment, he did not have enough guts to come in terms with the separation....our man was dejected. Though he wanted to talk to his new found friend, something always seem to tell him no and do the opposite. Even when his new found friend tried to talk to him, he somehow was not able to bring himself to talk. i thought abt this and made sure they talk at least once......which may bring down the barriers...

Since i had a good rapport with his new found friend, i spoke and made all arrangements for the meeting. It was agreed that vasan, was somehow made to come near our college Temple around

520pm and his best friend will also be there, and somehow we make him talk.

440pm: the college bell rang for the last time of the day indicating its the end of the hour.

445pm: i met vasan in the lobby of our department, along with two more good pals of ours, we set out of department to our college canteen

515pm: we came out of canteen after all the chit chat and other stuff.

520pm: we were on time...vasan now got suspicious.

vasan :டேய் என்னடா என்னிக்குமே கோவில்க்கு வரமாடீங்க இன்னிக்கு என்ன அதுவும் காலேஜ் முடுஞ்சவுடனே??

me: சும்மா தான் டா.

Now his new found friend was walking toward us...We were separated by some good 300-400 meters. Vasan was able to make out well what was happening, he shook off my hand from his shoulder. He took off..... We never knew where he was heading to. But alas i was fat enough and that kept myself from running :) :)...so i just stayed there with my roommate, i was not sure abt the happenings. This bloody beggar didn't even have a mobile. Mobile phones were not a common thing then..


me : எங்கட போனான் இவன்?
rm: யாருக்கு தெரியும். இவனையும் நம்பி நீ வண்ட பாரு!!!!!
me: எனக்கு என்னடா தெரியும் இப்படி வெக்க பட்டு ஒடுவானு?

By this time his new found friend has come.

NFF: பாரு உன் நண்பன. இப்போ நா என்ன அவன தொரதிட்ட ஓட முடியும்? அப்படி என்ன வெக்கம் அவனுக்கு?

Just then i received a phone call in my mobile from our hostel phone booth. It was my dear vasan.

vasan: டேய் நா வந்துட்டேன் டா, ரூம்க்கு.

me; நசமாப்போசு. எப்படி டா அதுக்குள்ள போனா? just ஒன்ற நிமிஷம் தான் டா ஆகிருக்கு?

vasan: அவல பதேனா பயம் வந்துருச்சு, அப்படியே ஓடி வந்துட்டேன் டா.

I was surprised to find that the he was able to reach our room so fast. He was able to cross the entire 15-20mins of walk under 90 secs. From then on, this was always a topic of fun whenever we all gathered...He was indeed the CARL LEWIS of our room!!!!!!!!

That was the day i decided, what ever happens, i should never rely on this vasan in my plans :) :). Well somehow he came over that as time went by. Today he shares a good rapport with his new found friend of Ist year and they are great friends now......

தொந்தியின் பயன்கள் : ஓர் ஆய்வு கட்டுரை


- மணிப்பயல்

தமிழ் வினாத்தாள்களில் கட்டுரை வரைக என பல தலைப்புகளில் கேள்விகள் கேட்கப்பட்டு இருக்கும். இதற்கு நிறைய மதிப்பெண்கள் ஒதுக்கப்பட்டு இருப்பதால், இவை மாணவர்களின் தலையெழுத்தை மாற்றி விடும் அபாயம் உண்டு.

எனது நண்பன் அசோகன் மாமல்லபுரத்துச் சிற்பங்கள் பற்றி கீழ்க்கண்டவாறு கட்டுரை எழுதினான்:

மாமல்லபுரத்துச் சிற்பங்கள் மாமல்லபுரத்தில் உள்ளன.
அவை கருங்கல்லினால் ஆனவை.
உளி வைத்துச்செதுக்கப்பட்டவை.
கொத்தனாரால் கட்டப்பட்டவை என கல்வெட்டுக்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

இவனது விடைத்தாளை திருத்திய ஆசிரியர் கோபத்தில் மைனஸ் நூறு மதிப்பெண்கள் போட்டுவிட்டார். இதனால், தேர்வில் தோல்வி அடைந்த அசோகன் மாமல்லபுரத்தில் உள்ள தனது மாமா வைத்திருக்கும் டீ கடையில் வேலை செய்வதாக சமீபத்தில் கேள்விப்பட்டேன்.

கோவிந்தசாமி கடல் சிங்கங்கள் பற்றிய கட்டுரையில் இப்படி எழுதியிருந்தான்:

கடல் சிங்கங்கள் கடலில் குட்டி போட்டு காட்டில் இடம்பெயர்ந்து கூட்டமாக வாழும்.

தங்கதுரை முப்பால் பற்றிய கட்டுரையில் இவ்வாறு எழுதினான்:

பால் மூன்று வகைப்படும். அவையாவன:

1. ஆட்டுப்பால்
2. மாட்டுப்பால்
3. நாய்ப்பால்.

ஆட்டுப்பால் காய்ச்ச வேண்டாம். அப்படியே சாப்பிடலாம். மாட்டுப்பால் சுட வைத்து குடிக்க வேண்டும். நாய்ப்பால் உடலுக்கு தீங்கானது. ஆடடுப்பால் குடித்தால் இறைப்பு வரும். நாய்ப்பால் குடித்தால் குறைப்பு வரும்.

இப்படியாக கட்டுரையில் கட்டுக்கதைகள் எழுதியவர்கள் பற்றி பல கட்டுரைகள் எழுதலாம்.

'காந்தி பற்றி கட்டுரை வரைக'

இப்படி ஒரு கேள்வி நான் எட்டாம் வகுப்பில் படிக்கும்போது தமிழ் ஆண்டுத்தேர்வு வினாத்தாளில் கேட்கப்பட்டிந்தது. பதற்றத்தில் காந்தி என்பதை தொந்தி என தவறாக புரிந்து கொண்டு நான் கீழ்க்கண்டவாறு எழுதித் தொலைத்து விட்டேன்.

(இதில் வேடிக்கை என்னவென்றால் என் பின்னால் அமர்ந்து தேர்வு எழுதிய எனது நண்பன் குண்டு சவுரி எனது இந்த கட்டுரையை அப்படியே காப்பி அடித்து மாட்டிக்கொண்டான்.)

தொந்தி

'காயமே இது பொய்யடா
இது வெறும் காற்றடைத்த பையடா'

இது யாரோ ஒரு சினிமா பாடலாசிரியர் எழுதிய பாடல் அல்ல. இந்த அற்புத வரிகள் ஒரு சித்தரின் சிந்தனையில் உருவானவை.

காயம் என்றால் உடல் என்று பொருள்.

பழங்கால சித்த வைத்தியர் மந்திவாயனார் தனது ஒலைச்சுவடியில் இப்படி குறிப்பிடுகிறார்:

காயத்தில் காயம் ஏற்படின்
காயத்தில் காயத்தை வைத்து கட்டு.

அதாவது,

காயத்தில் (உடலில்)
காயம் (புண்) ஏற்படின்
காயத்தில் (புண்ணில்)
காயத்தை (பெருங்காயத்தை) வைத்து கட்டு
- என்பது பொருள்.

இவ்வளவு சிறப்புகள் வாய்ந்த நம் உடலில் உள்ள பாகங்களில் மிகவும் அழகானது எது என்று கேட்டால் அனைவரும் உடனே சொல்வது நமது முகம் என்று. சிலர் கண்கள் என்பர்.

உண்மையிலேயே நமது மேனி அழகிற்கு மேலும் அழகு சேர்ப்பது எது தெரியுமா? நிச்சயமாக நமது தொந்திதான். ஏன் ஆச்சரியமாக இருக்கிறதா?

ஒரு பழமொழி உண்டு.

எண்சாண் உடம்பிற்கு சிரசே பிரதானம் என்று.

சிரசு என்றால் தலை என்று பொருள்.

இது மிகவும் தவறான பழமொழியாகும்.

உண்மை என்னவெனில்,

எண்சான் உடம்பிற்கு தொந்தியே பிரதானமாகும்.

இதனை ஒரு சிறிய ஆய்வின் மூலம் நீங்கள் அறியலாம்.

1. ஓர் அறையில் சுவரின் முன்னால் நிற்கவும்

2. முதலில் நீங்கள் நேராக நிற்கவும்.

3. கண்ணை மூடிக்கொள்ளவும்.

4. அப்படியே மெதுவாக நடந்து செல்லவும்.

5. சிறிது தூரம் நடந்து சென்றவுடன் சுவரில் மோதி நிற்பீர்கள்.

6. அப்படியே மெதுவாக கண்களை திறந்து பார்க்கவும்.

7. உங்கள் உடலின் எந்த பாகம் சுவரில் மோதி நிற்கிறது?

நிச்சமாக தொந்தியாகத்தான் இருக்கும்.

நமது கடவுள்களில் மிகவும் அழகானவர் தொந்தியுடைய பிள்ளையார்தான். நமது நாடு மட்டுமல்ல; வெளிநாட்டினரின் மனதை கொள்ளை கொண்டதும் பிள்ளையாரின் உருவம்தான். அதனாலேயே பல பிள்ளையார் சிலைகள் கொள்ளை அடிக்கப்பட்டு வெளிநாடுகளில் விற்கப்படுகின்றன. காரணம், அவரது அழகான தொந்தி.

பந்திக்கு முந்திக்கொள்
தொந்தியை வளர்த்துக்கொள்.

பந்தியில்
குந்தி தின்றால்
தொந்தி வளரும்.

போன்ற பழமொழிகள் நமது முன்னோர்கள் தொந்திக்கு கொடுத்த முக்கியத்துவத்தை பறைசாற்றும்.

தொந்தியினால் ஏற்படும் பயன்கள்:

1. கீழே குப்புற விழுந்தால் முகத்தில் அடிபட்டு மூக்கு உடையாமல் நம்மை காப்பாற்றுகிறது.

2. சமுதாயத்தில் ஒரு மரியாதையை ஏற்படுத்துகிறது. உதாரணமாக பெரிய பெரிய தொந்திகளை கொண்ட போலீசாரை கண்டால் நமக்கு மரியாதை கலந்த பயம் ஏற்படும்.

3. சிறந்த பொழுதுபோக்கு சாதனமாக பயன்படுகிறது. உதாரணமாக வேலையில்லாமல் சும்மா அமர்ந்திருக்கும் சமயத்தில் தொந்தியை மெதுவாக வருடிக்கொடுத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தால் நேரம் போவதே தெரியாது.

4. மல்லாக்க படுத்து இருந்தால் குழந்தைகள் சறுக்கு விளையாட்டு விளையாட மிகவும் பயன்படும். மேலும் நமது செல்லப் பிராணிகளான பூனைகள் மற்றும் நாய்க்குட்டிகள் படுத்து உறங்குவதற்கு மிகவும் விரும்புவது குஷன் வசதி கொண்ட தொந்திகளையே.

பாடலாசிரியர் வைரமுத்து கூட,

நீ காற்று நான் மரம்…
என்ன சொன்னாலும் தலையாட்டுவேன்

என்று எழுதிய பாடலில் கீழ்க்கண்டவாறு சில வரிகளை சேர்த்திருந்தால் நன்றாக இருந்திருக்கும்.

நீ பந்தி
நான் தொந்தி
என்ன போட்டாலும் உள்வாங்கிக்கொள்வேன்.

அரசியல்வாதிகளில் பலர் தொந்தியுடன் இருப்பதை நீங்கள் காணலாம். ஏனெனில் ஒருவரது தொந்தியின் அளவிற்கேற்ப அவரது புகழும் வளரும்.

தொந்தியார் குறைந்தால் தொண்டர் குறைவர்.
தொகுதி வளர்க்கும் உபாயம் அறிந்தே
தொந்தி வளர்த்தேன். தொகுதி வளர்த்தேனே.

என்பதே பல அரசியல்வாதிகளின் வேதவாக்கு.

தொந்தி ஏன் சதுரமாக அல்லது செவ்வகமாக இல்லாமல் உருண்டை வடிவத்தில் இருக்கிறது? என்ற வினா பலரது மனதில் எழும்.

தொந்தியானது தத்துவத்தின் சின்னமாகும்.

இந்த உலகமானது தொந்தியைப் போலவே உருண்டை வடிவமானது. இந்த வாழ்க்கையும் வட்ட வடிவமானது. இதை மனிதனுக்கு உணர்த்துவதற்காகவே இயற்கையானது மனிதனின் தொந்தியை உருண்டை வடிவத்தில் படைத்துள்ளது.

ஏழை ஒருநாள் பணக்காரன் ஆவான். பணக்காரன் ஒருநாள் ஏழை ஆவான். இதனை உணர்த்துவதற்காகவே தொந்தியானது அந்த நிலவைப் போல அடிக்கடி தேய்ந்து வளருகிறது.

இவ்வளவு சிறப்புகள் வாய்ந்த தொந்தியை நாம்,

போற்றி வளர்ப்போம்! கண்டதையும் போட்டு வளர்ப்போம்!!

ஜெய் தொந்தி!

First day of Yoga class.....

I was always interested to try a famous yoga class, ever since i came to Chennai. Recently with the help of a friend, who too accompanied me to the class, i enrolled myself :) :)...

I was informed that there will be an introductory class. Missing even a single class was considered a sin, and was told i will not be let in for the next session :( :(...So i took leave from my office soon and rushed to the class in full formals...Soon the so called introductory session commenced...

We were asked to sit on the floor....Boy it has really been a long time since i sat on the floor. Well 20mins into the session, not only me, but i found most of us struggling to sit :) :), few even started lying down on the floor. The people really had a bad time making us sit straight and erect....

The instructor soon said, we had come to the end of session and i was in immense joy for i need not sit again on the floor for the day....but i was too quick in assuming things. The next few words rattled me. "you will have 20minutes of brake. After which we will have our first yoga session!!!Those who are interested can register and be seated in the same hall". It took some time for the words to sink in me!!!!!

Holy Shit!!! its already 90mins i have been sitting down. I felt as though someone just started small firecamp in my arse!!!! Ok. i made up my mind to sit through the session. In came the instructor. "lets see the first aasana today". hmmm wogey....

A guy was sitting with each knee folded and the two feats facing each other...Foot should be in line with the anal hole :(... Already i was sweating even looking at him. Things became even worse. He started moving his legs rather flapped his legs :( .....This was too much for me....Now came the worst part. They wanted us to practice it...

Grrrrrreat. Consoling myself and with great spirits, i sat in the position as that fella had demonstrated. Till then everything was great. Now for the worst action. I tried to flap my legs... "PAAAAAAAARRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKK"....well that was not me. That was my favorite trouser....a new fashion was adoring my trouser :) :). A 6 inch long opening right in the front where it should not be...wow what an experience....

Well i lost my good trouser. But since i went to a yoga class and half the population on earth has perceived that yoga makes you a positive person more optimistic towards things in life, i will put it this way, my Allen Solly trouser has a new design now....

KUTTAN makes geographic changes to CHENNAI & his MARRIAGE plans

Our team was gearing up for a major delivery. Everyone of us knew well, that we gonna either postpone it or skip it :) :).....our energetic kuttan will not accept defeat even when he is dead in the war field, some one has to tell him clearly, that he is dead....

Well our kuttan decided more effort is required and asked few people to come on Saturday and Sunday. Many of the people who were requested(Ordered) to come on sat and sun are new to our project. Before i narrate how he was able to make a historic change in geography of chennai, i would like to tell u few things abt chennai.

Our office is in a place called PERUNGUDI. Its just 10 mins drive from ADAYAR. Earlier, that is few months back we were working in another building, which is in EGMORE. EGMORE is some 40-120 mins from ADAYAR depending on traffic density. At this moment, i need to tell u there is one other place near CHENNAI city, TAMBARAM. TAMBARAM is some 90-180 minutes drive from EGMORE, while its just a 60 minute drive from ADAYAR.

My team mate resides just opposite to our office and he will take a maximum of 1 hour to reach tambaram. Now here is the piece of conversation...

KUTTAN : u can come tomorrow to office ille? (ille is a sort of Malayalam for right/yes will change depending on the context).

TM : Ya , but i will leave in the noon for tambaram
KUTTAN: ok kutta, no problem, but u can work from EGMORE office tomorrow. It will be good. That is MY SUGGESTION ( MY SUGGESTION is equivalent to MY FEELINGS :) )
TM : But i need to go to tambaram, it will be late for me then, even to reach EGMORE from here.
KUTTAN : OH! no problem, TAMBARAM is very near to EGMORE, it is far off from here kutta.
MY FEELING IS THAT, u can come to EGMORE and then reach TAMARAM immediately ille....

HURRAY KUTTAN!!! HEIL KUTTAN!!!! was our team's expression. Poor team mate had no other choice...but to smile.....People don't think our guy is too enthusiastic about work. The truth is he has nothing to do over the weekend...He knows nothing other than our office....So he will come to our office on all days. Well he cannot be alone in office right??? So he arranges for his own company in the workplace...common guys u really need to appreciate this fella...How many of us do get a chance to make our own company in the workplace!!!!!!

Well to get rid of such things, we are seriously planning on getting him married. As a first step, we wanted to get his profile uploaded at least in our company's matrimony site :) :), so we started enquiring abt his real age, though we knew it is above 40.

Our kuttan recently took a flight to native. Guys i seriously don't know why he take all the trouble of going to native. He has nothing in his native, even from his native, he works remotely :( :(....well, our KUTTAN's flight ticket was filled in our ODC by one of our team mate. Boss, we were totally stumped by his age!!! :(

Common guys, do u have any idea what his age is as he perceives???? Well he is just 25 :) :) :) LOL, That was the best joke i have heard in the recent times. His mental stability is really above all of us, to think himself to be 25. And even more to it that, one of the close KUTTAN from our project who is also from his native, threw a beamer at us...KUTTAN will get married when he turns 28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, our KUTTAN has his own world, i think there is more to it than having no brain/hair in his head, i guess his anatomy is completely wrong. He either lives in a world of hallucination or he is an alien:):). I seriously condemn my managers for keeping him in the nature provided environment rather than confining him in a dark cell. No don't ever think about putting him in a asylum or some psycho hospitals...It is not worth risking the people over there :)

more to come.......

Shocked to find this video

Recently a colleague of mine forwarded this video to me....I was shocked to see the video in the first place. But later i felt even if i had been there, i would have done nothing, just like 1000 others who just watched the entire drama....of the 1000 one had the courage to even capture the entire thing...

Had someone pulled him down by force, we could have avoided this. Where were the security forces??? How come a man, so easily can get to the top of a train and the security officials could keep mum???!!!!

The value of each soul is precious....Even though he is a crank, maybe he doesn't deserve it....

NOTE: I am not the legal owner of this video, i am not responsible for this video...if u find it illegal for me to have it here, please do let me know, i will get it removed....

KUTTANS Connection

Exactly a year and two months before i heard "KUTTAN" for the first time in my life. Today it has become more familiar. It it the only word that makes me laugh even in my worst dreams. Let me tell u what i understood from the word KUTTAN. In Malayalam KUTTAN means a younger brother or a small boy.

I have a project manager in my team who address, all men irrespective of caste,color, creed, language,nationality as KUTTAN. Though initially we all respected him, as time went by we realised why there is not even a trace of hair/brain in his head. He is the most egoistic troublesome guy i have seen in my entire life so far.

His favorite dialogue is "KUTTAN MAY BE RIGHT ONLY, BUT MY FEELING I WILL TELL U..."......Boss who wanted your feelings????

Well he is not going to listen to u. Well, if you tell him that u need to use the toilet if not once in a day, at least once in a week....he will reply as "KUTTAN MAYBE RIGHT ONLY, BUT MY FEELING IS THAT, U NEED NOT USE IT AT ALL".

To tell u abt him briefly, he has no liking for food, money, women, computers, books, machines, two wheelers, four wheelers, name anything he doesn't like them. He is yet to get married. At this point i need to tell u he is beyond 40 and incorrigible. Well, what does he want then....His rules are simple
1) I will not listen to others
2) I will help only malayalies
3) I hate tamils
4) I will not learn new things
5) I will trouble the persons who doesn't listen to me....
I cannot tell u everything he does...but i just wanted to share a few antics he does regularly...


Once we were all gearing up for a team training session. The cafeteria was just a floor above our ODC. So it was always a practice to visit the cafe and then visit our training hall.... Our kuttan is always energetic, and when it comes to training he always carries few papers, notebooks(dont think it is a laptop...boss, this fella doesn't even know how to check the missed calls log in his mobile) etc...god alone know why he carries that....


On that day too, he went to cafe, got a cup of coffee and came down....before i go further i need to tell u few geographical things abt our office. When we climb down the stairs from the cafe, to our right is the training hall and to our left is our ODC. when we take the passage to our right, we will be greeted with two doors on either side of the passage that are often referred as heavens on earth. Yes friends these are the restrooms for the two prominent genders. On the left of the passage, the first door would be the rest room for the ladies, and the second door is the training hall....


In came our hero with coffee in one hand and some notepads in another hand. He went to the ladies room and was trying to open the door. I was already shocked. He called onto a fellow
teammate(TM) who was standing next to me...


kuttan: open this door, u have access right?
TM: what!!!!????
kuttan:yes kuttaaa open this door, we have training here and we are getting late.

Training in a ladies restroom???!!!!! Pictures of ladies beating him black and blue was already before my eyes and i was happily smiling....By now my team mate lost his wits....he had to pull him from the place and explain him the details, as to what the door is for and who can enter the door....that was a great experience for us....

Our kuttan is very specific about communication that concerns him...On a fine evening before the close of business, he was telling a colleague of mine "send me a mail. Make sure it reaches me". What does this guy mean by "make sure it reaches me"??? Not only me, then entire team was fathomed by such great words!!!!!


After sometime, we realised what that really meant. Our kuttan is so specific about time that, he has one strange habit. When ever he sends a mail, immediately he will come to our desk and tell us " i have sent u a mail, have u received it?"...this will happen even before the mail gets out of his OUTBOX. Hope u too understood what "make sure it reaches me" means. The next time, when u send a SMS or a mail, make sure it reaches the destined person.


Few weeks back my colleagues X and Y were working on a module. Since they were running out of time, one more colleague Z of mine joined the league in troubleshooting. Soon Z fixed the issue. In came our kuttan, enquired the status...he was astound to hear that things are fine. He immediately congratulated X and Y and didn't bother to say thanks to Z. This has become a comic gesture of recognising person. Now if i do something, my PL will congratulate my team mate :) :) :)....

His antics are countless, recently there was a customer visit. We had various discussions, our kuttan was ready with a large number of questions. He started his questioning session.
Kuttan: "hi XXX, this is a very interesting question. @!##&@^#%^%#^%#^%#^%"
customer: "834734834^&^%&^%"
before our customer could complete...
Kuttan:"thank you XXX. We will see the next question. It is again an interesting question..."

this went on for all the question...This fella doesn't even have the courtesy to listen to the answer till the customer completes. Don't think, our kuttan understood everything. This bald headed fella doesn't cant even understand a basic programming concept. He requires a board, marker and five days to understand the logic of addition of two numbers.

One fine evening, there was some serious issue in one of the module, people were looking forward for our kuttan's help, at least his words of wisdom on how to approach. BOY OH!!!! BOY!!! many people doesn't know our kuttan not only lacks hair, but the brain too :))))

The next day the issue was fixed easily by some T. In came out kuttan as usual, enquired the status and he said, " OH! great, U have started working without experts help!!!!". Now the question is who is the expert? Don't think too much our KUTTAN is the expert here :) :) :).....People often tell me that u need have a self esteem....our KUTTAN really has a great SELF ESTEEM for himself.... :):):)

such are his buffoonish activities....i will keep updating his antics time and again whenever i remember one or experience a new one.

The first time i followed the class room rules....

It was our final year of college. And everyone knows what it feels like to be a final year guy. We had few new staffs in our final year. And this fella by name SURESH was also there handling some paper..some crypto or network paper i guess...

This fella had a good playground on his head and that looked more or so in a shape of a barota...yup and we fondly called him barota thalayan or bajji vayan. This funny fella got promoted to be lecturer directly from a kindergarten teacher...He had his own set of rules.

1) none of the wards must engage in any sort of conversation between themselves

2) whatever it may be funny, tragedy, academic anything that needs to be discussed only with him

3) This should be followed whatever it takes the entire 50minutes :(

these stringent rules of our comic Hitler just made us laugh....Myself and a close pal of mine raj(that's just part of his name :) :)) decided to honour these with highest priority from day one (LOL :) )....

It was the third day of his class, well, most of the guys in the class were feeling irritated because of his obtuse rules. Though myself and raj decide to give it the highest priority(LOL), we couldn't keep ourselves from discussing few things. We shared a lot of interests in common, music and JAVA always dominated our discussions. As usual i wanted to tell him something before i forgot, so just discussed with him...

Our bajji vayan(BV) was singing some notes as usual.....and fortunately or unfortunately we were caught discussing, voila, BP of our bajji vayan shot up, he called me

BV: what is there to discuss now?

He didn't leave it there and took it very serious and made me stand up...boy that was really irritating, for no bullshit work unlike him i am made to stand and interrogated....

BV: unnadan kekaren (I am asking u only), what were u discussing?

Me: nothing sir.

BV: whatever be it u should discuss only with me. Ippo sollu ellarum therinjukatum (common on tell me now, let the entire class know about it)

boy!!! this is too much...

Me: Nothing siir, i was just asking him, கோழி முட்ட போட்ட வெல்ல வருடு ஆண் குஞ்சா இல்ல பெண் குன்ஜானு (if a hen lays egg, out comes a male or female)

There was a roar of laughter, a few giggles, and a few irritant expressions....now BV's BP was at its helm :) :) and we guys were enjoying it to the core...in our native language, குஞ்சு did has its own meaning and nobody expected me to talk that in front of the class...neither me did !!!!!!

BV: is this how u will talk to your parents? will u ask it to your parents?

Me: na edavenalum kepan parentsta(I will ask anything to my parents). There is nothing wrong in that question.

BV: Is this decency? is this manners?

Me: neega dane sir sonnenga, eduva irunthalum unga kitta dan sollanumnu adhan sonnen. (U only instructed me to share everything with u, and i did as u had instructed)

that was they last day, BV cared about rules and that was the last day he talked to me....

Note: I had to re-edit this post. Only raj helped me with more accuracy of the incident

Fella Name Thonti

It was my first day of my college. I was searching for my name in a board that spanned for few 100 meters. There were more number of sections than a set of alphabets could accommodate. Finally i found my name in section 'N'. It was the first day of my college and already i was late. There was a bit of shiver running down my spine. I don't know where my classroom was. I wanted to reach my destination b4 some seniors could lay their sight on me.....

Finally after few stumbles here and there, i found my classroom. The first hour had already started. I sat at the last row as usual....Last bench has always been my favorite. At the start of the third hour, i moved to second row. A young lad, the centre of whose forehead was decorated with a fat line of kumkum, with fine hair cut was sitting. I was quite scared to sit next to him.

Here was a guy whose was sitting as though he is next only to god with all shades of color on his forehead, with a rudraksh round his neck. I was wondering all this and the bell went off indicating its the morning break. Since it was our first year only few people dared to go out. After the break we had Engineering Drawing. We had no idea where to go. This guy came up to me and introduced himself, " I am XXX, lets stay together, these people have no senses and are ill cultured". WOW. Here is a man who looks next to god and he wants to be with me....This fella then had a small protruding tummy.

Months went by, the antics of this fella in the name of god and food where chanceless. As the first semester came to an end, he was christened THONTI. For the way he ate, the small tummy had bulged out enough and so was the name.....

I thought thonti deserved an introduction before i can relate all his antics, so here we come to the end of the post...watch out for more posts on THONTI's tales

Hunting karadies here we come - I

Food. One good thing that is happening in every creatures life. Eating has always been my greatest interest of all time. So i just decided to start a series of blogs on various places at Chennai where i have hunted for food, drinks etc....Here goes the First one

Fruit Shop on Greams Road is a favorite place of mine. Whenever i think about fruits and juices i cannot forbid myself from visiting this place.....i think about them almost everyday :)

The ambiance is always great. The drinks are always accompanied by some music in the background. People here are always happy to help you out with the music of your taste. Name it rock, blues, jazz...they have wide a range of collection just to make sure u enjoy your drink.

You don't get all the fruits over here. But u get to taste a good quality juice of the available fruits. Mango, apple, banana, watermelon, grapes, lime, sweet lime, orange, pineapple, strawberry, peach, mulberry are the more common ones. The fruit juices are awesome. They are really fresh and has little water added to it. U can even ask them not to add sugar if u are serious about the original taste of the fruit or very conscious about the calorie intake :). Water melon(30) juice is a favorite of mine. U cannot get a better taste that is as delicious as u eat a watermelon and rich in color. Romancing the apple(65) is again another favorite of mine.

When it comes to milkshakes, u cannot separate something as the best from the lot. Each is unique for its taste. The one that has always kept me glued to it, is the Mulberry Banana smoothie(75). The mulberries floating over the juice and a bit of honey added makes u yearn for more....Sheik shake(30), few call it as s-e-e-k shake, while others call it as s-h-a-k-e shake. I prefer to call it as Dates milkshake(30). Its really awesome.

When ever i don't get to eat a banana, and if i badly need one, I tend to have Banana milkshake(35) over here. Its great. These people have different flavours of banana and a mix of banana + mango/strawberry smoothies apart from the mulberry flavour. These are really great to drink...

Now for the worst part or for the people who wish to experiment with various combination of fruits, mint etc. Whenever u see something exotic on the menu card, u can be sure, its gonna contain either mint/ginger or both. The menu also sports a India Cocktail which is a combination of 6 fruits. I have heard many people always willing to take this one...but its the last thing i will like to have. The menu also sports a weird one...guess what, tomato juice mom's recipe or something is its name. Beware before u try this.

U have this shop in
Perungudi,OMR road
Besant Nagar
Spencer Plaza
Greams road

Enjoy the drink

SARVAM - NAASAM

A drive on a saturday evening 615 from PORUR to MAYAJAAL will easily take 2 hours. We had booked tickets for the much hyped movie SARVAM, the show was at 701pm.Though we made it on time was it really worth???

The movie boasts big about Aarya and Trisha in the lead role, Yuvan handling the music department and Vishnuvardan directing the movie. Lets talk about the show before the interval...

Costume designer deserves an appreciation here and so does Nirav Shah for his work with the lenses. Aarya looks great and Trisha looks decent in most of the frames. That said, they have nothing else to do in the movie. Buffoonish activities of the male protagonists in the name of love irks your arse, that u would wish u had been given a cyanide kuppi rather :) One particular comedy between the male protagonists and his friend will leave u in splits :)

That said, too much of masala and over action dampen the movie further. To make the things even worse, psycho prathap pothen does a cameo and irritates you in the name of comedy. The cast in the name of friends of the male pratogonists looks helpless and hopeless. They don't know why they are in the frame.....

Trisha has nothing much to do except to show her regular useless expressions in few frames and do some skin show in songs...

J.D.Chankravathy has tried to deliver some good performance...but it remains a try. His antics and expressionless dialogue delivery trying to create a dark ambiance for the movie laves u yawning.

The kid Rohan Siva seems to have some potential for the small screen...scenes involving the kid and the male protagonists are the only relaxation....The music is a big let down by Yuvan. While so many music directors of India are trying to get inspired from the western world (LOL), seems YUVAN is inspired to a great extent by his dad's tracks and BGM.

Having said all these things there is nothing much to talk about the second half, its all bloody ruined story. Never waste your time and money on this trash. If at all there is one compelling reason to visit the Cinema, it can be the visuals of few songs in the big screen.....if you are a die hard fan of aarya and trisha :) :)
