~Weirdest day I lived through
~Weirdest waiting....
~Weirdest bus travel....
~Weirdest hit....
~Weird - me & my strange GUT!

Achaa 5 weird… Sapaaaadi.Ippo taguku varen .

Now this is about an incident that happened during my early days of college,First year i guess.
We had this subject handled by the Mech., dept people! Mechanical department staffs are of two types - one group who are very practical & cool people. And the other group with the dumbest, few sadists. By the end of the semester we were asked to get the signatures of few staffs (Second staff, Third staff) whom we haven't met either, then the H.O.D’S signature. Since we were non- mechanical students we had no idea about the staffs there. Whole day was spent in searching them here & there. I wonder where they would disappear on a day where they are most wanted. They know they had to sign our records….but they were neither found in their desk nor in the staff room..and no where in the department. Myself & my best buddy- since we finished the work earlier we were the first from our department to hit the mechanical department for signature. We waited a whole long day – roamed here and there in search of who ever had the stamppad, seal, ink, pen….ooofffffffff and yeah most importantly those who had to sing this.Since we leave really early to college we don’t generally have our break fast which is wrong. By the time we went to the H.O.D’S room for his signature, he was gone! Seems like he had to go on round only today! The mechanical department H.O.D is really a nice person and a good friend too ;) He used to come in the same bus we both travel in.And day one of college - he was the first person (other than student) we both made friends with. He is really a nice person…but I wonder why he had to go for rounds today?! So, we waited outside his room for really long hours – we din’t want to take a chance. Already there was a rumour that H.O.D would not sign any more records from tomorrow – because it is late already! But we were not told about this at all.So we both stayed there- right there in front of his room to get the signature. After some tiresome waiting – there he was. He signed the record & then we both got out of his room with a relief like you just escaped an accident.From the morning till that time all that we did was- walk – search – talk- walk –search –talk- Oops in this confusion we forgot one thing- totally!Generally human beings have something called as food. They call it break fast in the morning-lunch in the afternoon & Dinner in the night!

And guess what – I looked at my watch to see if we shall go to the canteen for lunch. It was no time for lunch..LOL!!! It was almost 4:20 in the evening. And…previous night I had slept without having my dinner coz’ we had the record work to finish, morning break fast? No – wrong question to the wrong person- now no lunch…and the bus will leave in another few minutes! Oh my god! We both rushed to the college bus as fast as we could. Finally we got into the bus. And both of us gasped & found that there was no seat available to sit. Ok… we are used to standing in our bus. All the way from college which is at Potheri we were standing till we reached St.thomas mount. This was the last stop before ours.. but we do have a pretty long way to go.And from here , it was only our stop friends in the bus. Very few of them. I moved to the back end & my buddy moved to a few seats ahead. Now here is what happened. I know I was totally worn out for the day…. And really really tired- had no stamina to stand or walk. But did manage to get to the seat. When I was right about to sit down- the very sportive driver took a narrow turn (There are few of the drivers at SRM – they are like sports stars.SPEED is all that they know!Trust me..they drive so damn fast & never slow down ever while taking a turn.) I was almost in the seat but I hit my elbow hard on the window rod. Ada paveee….correct’a ippo dhan thirumbanuma..adhuvum ipdi kevalama. BOOM!!! It did hurt but not very much. Immediately after this something very weird happened! I was sitting in the seat & I knew was losing myself. I started to feel dizzy & it was a very strange feeling, I started to lose my vision & then I could not hear the people around me. I was hoping that I am going to faint. I know what you are thinking…I wasn’t in a position to call out anyone for help.Moreover all these happened real quick. I was totally losing my consciousness – well that what it seemed like! I thought ”Aha..Namaku ticket kedachachu pola irkuey. ..!!” When this was slowly happening… after a few fraction of seconds I was able to hear – really too low ,as in how would it sound if someone mutes ur music player & then slowly increase the volume from zero to a level that is considerably loud. And I went like Oh my gosh! I was suppose to be unconscious! (Faint)…now what!Then I started to hear my bus mates loud & clear…but still something else was not right. Am still not able to see!!!!

Yes! I was not unconscious but still am not able to see. I realized i am having full consciousness now. But OH! OH!!I can’t see a thing…not a spot of light or anything at all!! It was like some one has blind folded your eyes with a very dark black cloth & u have your eyes open. And by now- I am fully back to normal. Everything is loud & clear but am not able to see anything at all. Now I knew its time (or I did have time to ) to call out for my friends. I called out for my best buddy who was a few seats ahead. Then I called out for the other friends too…

They all came to my seat and this girl (Machi in our group- that’s wat she says. Pasanga elam machaan’na ponnunga elaam machi dhaney! :P ) from B.Arch who was really a koothu party(FUN lover) was the first –Machi-> “Enna machi? What matter? Any boochi??”

Me-> Adhelaam iladi – am not able to see!

- to my best buddy- Are u there dee….am not able to see!

(All this with my eyes wide open looking at the side where they are all standing!Bus is still on move)

Machi ->(Meranduta) At my buddy – machi iva thookathula pesuvala?

Her-> No dee….. no way! Never! @me- ey are u awake- enna pesra?!Look at me!

Me-> Ada goyaa! Adhaan dee solren. Am not able to see!! :P

Buddy-> Look thro the window- andha payan romba nerama inga parthutey irukaan..I guess he want to tell u somehting

Me-> Dha chee...nala naliye NOT INTERESTED! ....Inaku velayadadha dee.. Not able to see!! Unmaya! :)

In this gap our little friend from I.T deptmtn….Started to panic.. Enna dee achu ivaluku? Mornign kooda nala dhaney irundha…..(Almost in tears)

Me->“ Eye ey..ippo ena achu!! Chill dee… En ippo tension agura?!

Machi-<” Machi…Ena machi joke adichu – velayaatu kamichutrukey?! :O Nakala?!Tension agama…. Veladuriya machi?! U r playing a prank right!!

Me-> Ada koomutta!! Illa dee..Trust me I cant see a thing!

Buddy->(Tension agi poyi…sat next to me and started shaking me really hard)

Me-> Enna dee..why r u playing this..Listen am awake!WIDE AWAKE!! Stop shaking me! Am conscious & i know what am talking! Last stop’la madhu’oda kutta teacher was with me. She got down. Then this is what happened (I explained everything from getting hit in elbow…)Now am awake but not able to see! Got it…I thought you must all know what happened. In case I lose consciousness again.

I spoke all these very clearly with no shake- no tears in my eyes..no panic, no tension,no fear, infact I was totally cool. I wasn’t upset nor worried but only confused a little bit!

MACHI-> Hey! :O Iva theliva dhaan dee iruka!!! She is not sleeping…She is awake! That kutta was only sitting with her. I saw. @me- Ey unaku ezhuga varlaya dee? May I remind you that you r not able to see….Edho lab experiment explain panra mari solli mudikra… Is this ur soul in your body?! :O Alo… Konjam bayam irukanum machi!!

Buddy- > Sathiyama nee velaydala?!!! U r playing – illa dee.. For what u r saying this is not the way u wud be if it is true!

Me-> Adhaan matter’a….. Crying?! I don’t know… Edhuku dee azhanum….<

Anga aadi poi irundha enga senior takunu kitta vandhu pulse parthutu… Saaptiya? Lunch saptiya?!

Even before I could open my mouth to reply..

Buddy -> Oh my god!! She dint eat lunch , nor break fast & not even yesterdays dinner!

Senior-> Give her water first!

NO ONE HAD ANY LEFT!! But eureka!! I have :D

Me->Yeah ..i do! Can u get it? Its in my bag.

Then my buddy took out the Aquafina bottle! It was heavy…

Senior-> Adi paavi – its full! What are you…. You didn’t eat food- din’t drink water!! First you drink this water.

I had spent an entire day with nothing but oxygen. How did I forget to drink water? :O The bottle was full- not a sip did I have for the whole day until now.

I grabbed the bottle & drank & drank & emptied the bottle in one gulp.

Now I started to close & open my eyes …..Hoping I may be able to see…

(Even till now ...I do not know what bloody GUT that was, I dint cry nor was upset! People around me were.Slowly people around me started to scare me- they panicked ….but I never lost hope or felt like crying.I should have ! Come on – u cant see- u weren’t able to hear a thing..then u lost consciousness! Now u r back but you cannot see a spotof light! I knew what it was like to be blind-atleast for few minutes! I DO!! But nothing scared me that day. Engerndhu ivlo dhillu??

I lost consciousness- had a feeling that I may not survive this. I really do not know how I was like that! And what was that!!! How can something like this happen. You are only not able to see…. Haven’t heard anything like this before either. I do not have any vison problem either! There are absolutely normal – perfect!)

After that whole 1 litre of water – I was slowly able to see light!

And I went like … :O WOW!!

Me-> "I guess I can see now!! Yeah I am able to see things….."

Everyone -> Really? THANK GOD!!! Are you serious - really?!

Me-> ( Now very joyfully!!) Hey DOG!! Am able to see..i can see everything… i can see u dee naye! I can see u machi.....blah blah.. I yelled out all their names pointing each one!

Me-> Machi ivanga elaam ok..nee kooda tension aviya?? :P Kouthitiye dee!!

Machi -> It was u dee... How can i take it cool?

Ahaaaaaaaaaa!!! THOTUUTA!

I COULD SEE EVERYTHING VERY CLEARLY! Like never before!

What a weird day it was!! What a weird feeling it was!!

When we got down the bus – all of us knew it was the worst night mare. When we got down Appa was already at the stop, waiting in the car. Me & my buddy got into the car & appa asked the driver to drive back home. But sadhigari :P my buddy blurted out what happened that day!

Appa got really worried and he took me to our family doctor – another prank master who loves to play jokes! But he is an expert! One of the best doctors now & appa’s good friend. All I knew was – they are both gonna yell at me for skipping food. In one way it is true. I guess it was starving for so many hours that these things happened- otherwise it was just a mild hit. He asked me this first “ When was the last day you ate any food?”

I toldyaaaa .....“ He is a genius!” :P

I went like… “ Uncle- yesterday evening I had,,, then night… today in college- was planning to have lunch but it was time for bus!”

Appa & Uncle à [[Fumes]]

Uncle->” Fuel ilaama plane otalaamnu partha…adhu nadu vanathula poi- dumeeeeeeelnu keezha uzhundhu norungidum! SCIENCE!! U know?… po….poi ozhunga saapdu..ilati next time periya oosiya onnu kuduthu daily adhula unaku sapatuku badhila edhavadhu chemical kuduthu kutha vendiyadhu dhaan .You are perfectly alright . Do not worry. It is weakness! Only few days back you recovered from fever. How dare u dnt eat food for so many hours & I wonder how you survived even with out driniking water! ”

And he was talking for another half an hour .. and yeah! Appa- DOC- Amma all of them spoke what I had to hear! ;) And then later that day amma asked “ Why and how come you dint cry?” I did not have an answer... I just din't - din't feel like. May be I knew that everything is going to be alright.

It was the weirdest thing happened to me & weirdest way I had reacted to it!!!

There it goes! The weird Tag is done!

Note for Gee : Thanks for a lovely post Gee :) That was relly nice of you!

The guilty me!!!

I Returned home – with the guilt!

The guilty idiot ~ that I am!

It was a very beautiful day. 3 of us (Me,co1,co2) planned to have a day out together & decided to go on our own. Traveling on our own is so much fun & adventurous.Every time there is something new I see/observe, sometimes- strange, nice, funny,adorable,sad,beautiful…name it.

But today what I saw was pathetic & more annoying. This took place in one of the public toilets – in Chennai. Oh come on, this is not yet another complain on sanitation…but a humanitarian crisis! And no joke!

While in the morning…say at around 9 or so…we reached this place & 2 of us wanted to use the rest room. So we went & paid the money to a really VILLI looking fat lady(More like the one who keeps speaking filthy dialogs in tamil movie- kasthuri maan) in the counter & walked in. I observed a small girl – not a kid though… an adolescent –say some where between 12 to15 years of age. She was sitting on the floor & washing some clothes. This very sight was not very comfortable to see… How could someone wash the clothes in public rest room & use it? Alright…not my business & may be this is a better place for this girl to wash. And I noticed she was not wearing a very comfortable wear. It was more like the slips/(Commonly called as)shimmi ....that is generally worn as an inner garment but yeah- kids do roam around wearing that, because it looks more like a sleeveless frock. But is generally not a comfortable wear to come out in public with. I smiled at the girl in embarrassment when she looked up at me. And we left & had our long day spent in the longest way we could have. And yes – it was a wonderful day until we returned to the same spot that morning…yeah the same restroom. In the evening at around 4:45 we reached this place & co1 wanted to wash her face. So we went to the same place again. Now me & co 2 stayed back outside. And the (gundu villi) fat lady with villain looks had few other men talking to her. Co 1 came back in few minutes and said … “Hey ..the girl you told about this morning – remember??She is still in there washing- in same state, now looking even more pathetic. She is not properly dressed yet! I wonder if she even came out for lunch.”

I was shocked to hear this and told my co’s that I shall go, check if she is good and get back. My Co1 got really mad at me & said “We cannot trace this every day & secure her forever. Now do not try something heroic and get us all into trouble. Look at that lady- she looks like she can smash the 3 of us in one go. And don’t u dream I will come for help. We are here alone. Remember that!”

Hahaha…I know about co1- She would be the first to come to scene :D & to rescue in case I get in trouble…..But yes- i knew the fact she is saying.

Me- “But then I think I really want to go. U got to go when u got to go…please ,give me some change. I will be right back”

When I entered the restroom I was expecting not very serious about this hoping there may be a better answer. I entered & yes she was right there – same posture & with a pile of clothes. Now most of them wet(she had finished washing) – and she was not properly dressed yet. This time I couldn’t keep quiet.

I tried to talk cool with this little girl …. This is what happened …

Me: Dey! Morning unna inga parthen ila??

The girl: Amaam’ka siricheengaley!

Me: Amaam… :) Sari! Innum enna panra?? Dressum mathikala… Yaravadhu ula varaporanga.

The girl: (Simply smiled)

Me: Sari… Veliya poniya – saptiya…? Ilati inga dhan irukiya kalailerndhey? Dress panitavadhu velaya paren! :)

The girl: Inga dhan irundhen’ka.Dress irukkuuuuuuu – veliya amma vechurukaanga. Idhelaam thuvachu mudikanum…apram dhan…(someone came in)

We both looked – I was near the wash basin. It was that (gundu villi) Fat lady- who was chatting with few men outside.

She stared at the little girl & spoke to her something in a different language- I couldn’t understand. It wasn’t tamil/telugu/hindhi/Malayalam/kannadam. It was not any of the familiar language. And her tone wasn’t very good. And as she spoke the girls face frowned. And then Villi left. And then I tried to see her …she wasn’t looking up at all. She was again back to scrubbing the clothes. She wasn’t ready for a conversation or she was not allowed to have one…..

Me: Sari..dress paniko mudhala- aprama poi edhavadhu saapdu

The girl: (Looked up at me – with a confused face & din’t utter a word. Simply nodded & tried hard to smile)

Me: (Smiled back & walked out now even more confused ,annoyed & angry)

When I came out, I looked at the place where this fat lady was sitting- so that I could try talking to her. She was still chatting with those men. They dint seem very friendly either. I wished she was alone- so could have made some attempt to talk to her.

And I turned back this side to look at my co’s.

:O What I saw this side was even more a vili looking angry girl! Yeah that’s co1. She found out – even with out me uttering a word. And as I neared they asked “ Why maruthu…we told you. It is like that. Look at your face! It looks pathetic. You need not have … ”Co1 seemed really annoyed however co2 tried to convince me…

Bloody hell!! Don’t we see what this is- CHILD ABUSE!!! As defined - Child abuse is the physical or psychological maltreatment of a child, often synonymous with the term child maltreatment or the term child abuse and neglect. Some definitions also include the abuse of children by other children or by themselves . It is happening right here – in front of us! I felt like I was so damn useless.

We could clearly see what is happening….The child was literally being tortured.

From morning 8+ till evening 4:45pm a small girl sitting inside all alone with no proper dress, No food, No one inside with her, No water, and almost all that she does is scrub-wash- rinse…. scrub-wash- rinse…. scrub-wash- rinse…. scrub-wash- rinse….

Won’t a human being go crazy when subjected to something monotonous & cruel like this? And she is hardly 15 may be or even less. What did she do to go through this? And the pile of clothes!! Oh my god! I don’t think even you & I would have washed so much in a day – even if we had washed our own family members clothes!

Now I was in a state of confusion…co1 looked like she is gonna turn me into ashes & my inner voice told that they have a point.

Come on – we are three young girls who have come all alone – with no back up & this place was deserted too. Also the fat lady is not alone – she has company. And the way she sounded inside…MaaaaaaaaaaaaN - am not going to near her alone. Also when she looked at me – it dint seem very much like she would encourage a talk. And am no good at street fight- or should I say fight! My back up dnt seem very comfortable either. And in case we went to talk to her & then she nods an OK. After we leave in case if she is beaten up black & blue?!! Can it get worse…. Can I possibly do something worse than this to that girl?.... atleast now she has her room to be free from pain- assault .

And had I complained to the police man who was around…. What if he simply warns the lady & goes away! Then she beats up the girl for talking to me or even for telling me (Like she did/was let to).

In worst case, she will drag the girl to a different place &make her toil there.

I knew something was going wrong…I knew something is not right…I knew someone was denied the right…A child is denied her right to live her childhood.

And this is humiliation to the girl child!

But that day – I had to walk off…. Come like nothing was wrong. I wish I wasn’t alone there that day! Had appa or My cousin or some grown up been there something could have been done.

I was so incapable! I felt so low- for the selfish creature that I am.

So useless – so self centered – inhumane idiot that I am!

I was elder than that girl….grown up- and I knew what was happening- she knew that I know now….but still I walked away so powerless…so incapable! I lost sleep that night!

I am guilty!!

I feel awful about my behavior – I feel ashamed for what I was not able to do!

And most of all – I am angry with myself ~ the situation ~ the fat lady!

It is better to admit your mistakes than hiding – isn’t it ?? So here I go- I AM CULPABLE!

And I will not go silent – not anymore…. I shall try to get to the same place again & find the fat lady-this time with some proper backup. And am telling the fat lady that she is wrong! Tell her that this could be taken very seriously if I instigate complain. I am telling her that the child needs to live her life!

PS: I wanted to make the 75th post, a memorable one... i will not forget this in my life. But however wanted to mark the 75th post with a sweet post- and a lovely song - lyrics by our Friend Z/Gee

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Dial up users- click here to hear the song

BB user's - click here to hear the song

The valentine’s day is here….

We need to have a separate discussion for if such a day is necessary at all ( for our Indian culture.)

But no…lets not go there :) atleast for now.

I do wish to make a point here…these days the valentines day has developed more aversion all because of some sick- oops some love sick people’s atrocious behaviour in public.. Am sure my friends who are around here don’t join that club. :) No offence – if any new visitors who may belong to that club!

On this day am planning to send out a special gift- yes the one in pic – a bracelet for my school buddy with whom am still in touch. SMS, Snail mail, e-mail…..We first met during 1996 & ever since we are great friends & value each other! TOUCH WOOD! :) Now love is not just some silly feeling between a chick & a dude! :P

LOVE- a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another passion.

- a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

- a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.

Speaking of love something that crossed my mind

# Couple walking down the street on a silent night.

HUSBAND: “Last year- I was able to take you for a ride in our car that we just sold to pay our debt. But I was busy doing business. This year they dumped me & when I want to take you for a ride- I have no car! Am sorry that am making you go through all this.

WIFE:( Gripping his hand! ) I really missed those long walks honey!Am happy you are here with me now -to walk! I would hate driving alone. :)

CALL THAT LOVE!

# Brother getting back home really late on a promised day ….

BROTHER : OI…. Do u think I got home late in the night to see ur long faces? !! :P I came back coz’ I promised this day! And its not yet 12…. So am here as promised on this day! Come on – our plan for the day…Lets watch the movie… :)

SISTERZ: :> Hm… :)

(Although they were mad at him….. They did sit and watch the movie. And half way through , seeing their bro sleep like a kid – how can one not smile?! They decided to pause it & watch the next day! All three went to bed that night with that special feeling of being loved!)

CALL THAT LOVE!

#Granee & Mom…

Girl:( Washing the bowl- tells her mom) You know ma, paati loved that APPLE SHAKE!

MOM: What shake?? She hates apple shake….Did she have it??

Mom to Granee: Did u have the apple shake? You never liked it & never had!

Granee: Well, when she has made it with so much love – how can u say no?!

Girl: < ##### U know…..##### > Paaaaaaatiiiiiiiii :(

CALL THAT LOVE!

#After a long day, when the family has gathered for dinner! You had a terrible day & is in no mood even to talk about it. Not to any one….When you think that no one noticed it and after dinner your dad calls you & asks…

DAD :“What went wrong, dear? What happened ….. :) ”

These simple words would have brought down all those worries crashing down to the floor!

KID: <### An amused look with thought running in the head .."How did appa know??" and returns a gentle smile.... then ofcourse..you know talk-it- over ## ### >

CALL THAT LOVE!

#Friends ….after receiving a disastrous answer sheet corrected by a terrible teacher

Friend1: I can’t believe she gave me 30/50…Dumb lady!!

Friend2: Don’t worry!

Friend1: How could she?? Look at this answer…. What more should I write?!

Friend2: Chill dee!! Don’t bother!!

Friend1: (Now eyes are little watery) But this will bring down my internal! CRAP!

Friend2: Oh…come on!! Why pay any shit to her?

Friend1: (Little annoyed..) Yeah…. Like you would have taken my mark with a happy face!

Freind2: YEAH!! Ofcourse!! :D I just flunked! :)

Friend1: (DAMN! ) :O …..Am sorry dee….. Am really sorry….

Friend2: Now we both know she is such a stupid paper corrector…& don not worry- she would not correct the final exam papers! Lets celebrate this!! :P And you mind wiping off that little drop near your eyes…Because it really is insulting that I don’t have any !! :P Cheer up !! Don’t get upset for such sick issues!

Friend1: < #### U know t expression… ####>

CALL THAT LOVE!

# Pals who have not spoken for months because of some silly misunderstanding.

When some one has irritated, annoyed & broken trust, but then realizes the mistake and apologizes…

“No… it is alright. We do commit mistakes! Am glad you have realized it…I don’t mind at all. Lets leave that behind and move on…. Because after all that’s what friends are! Be there for each other no matter what! Am glad you are back “

CALL THAT LOVE!
# 2 people ....

After a very long & terrible argument, one of them saying...

"Let us stop this dear!! Do u think this is of any value at all?..... Let’s forget it....and move on.....And am sorry! May be i should not have... "

CALL THAT LOVE!

How many people would still be in good terms had they realized the value of this statement...how many could have still been friends.....how many would have still been there for each other..... How many forgot this?!

Hm…. So, Love is a great feeling to share with another human being- or even your pet. SO this valentine’s day- tell your loved one….that they mean a lot to you. Make them feel- you value them- so will they & appreciate them for the same.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

PS: There is a general complain about the songs I choose. Are they all really that very sad?! No…No..am a happy person!! Elaarum ketungapaaaaaaaaaaa………..AM A VERY HAPPY PERSON!! :) Well….

Now that all my friends have approved this template- which if they dint’…they know what would have happened!! :P

Ok ….Here is something that could surprise you. I haven’t been in a train- the local train before. I remember once – I have tried it. But this was the first time we actually traveled in a local train –Electric train.

An incident in the electric train!!

We got the tickets & got into the train.Another friend of ours gave us all the instructions & directed us to the compartment. Myself &My Sister we got into the train. First we had seat only for one. So one of us took the seat & then soon we got another. Now both of us are seated opposite facing each other. Then there was a very old lady who came in & the seat adjacent to me was free. Ok ow to make the part exactly the same way how we narrated to amma on getting back home I will put it the exact same way.

Mom:” How was ur train travel?? First time…. How did you both find it to be?”

Both of us: It was great ma!! :)

Sis: Hey- lets tell her what happened…. That boy!!

Me: :P Vendaam dee

Sis: Oh..come on. Whats there – sollu sollu….

Me: Naan sonne illa ma…we got seat late. Apram konja neram kazhichu – 3 of us adjusted & sat. Me,another boy & an old lady. I had my bag on my lap & rested both my hands on it. I was looking out through the window. I suddenly felt a very gentle touch. Yaaro en kai mela avanga kaiya vecha mari irundhadhu…takkunu thirumbi parthen. No one. Then again…yaro en kaya thotta mari irundhadhu..this time edukala..i could still feel. Thriumbi paatha…it was that boy. Naan sari- thookam polanu- took off my hands.

Mom : Idhaan sonen….vendaamnu. Ini eppavum u r not going in train. That’s it. This is your last time..

Both of us : ??? En amma ivlo tension areenga??

Mom: Pinna enavaam!!! U r not going…

Sis: Hey loosu !! We dnt tell amma that it was ladies compartment…She has mistaken that boy for some handsome young boy!!

Both of us: LOL!!! Vizhundhu vizhundhu sirichom…..

Then I continued…

Me:Ammmaa….Amma…. Adhu oru kutti payyan ma. Indha paatiyoda perandi. He was too little & very cute. I wonder why- chumma chumma kaiya pudichuktaan…I dnt mind. I loved that kiddo- :)

Mom: Adhaney parthen…neenga rendum perum-jansi rani achey- summa vitruka mateengaley’nu!! Kutti payana?!! LOL!! And the whole night- 3 of us often started laughing thinking abt this mis communication.

SISTER’S FUN!

Me & my sis had the special communication to recollect & laugh at. While all this was happening…I told u my sis was sitting opposite to me. She messaged to me from the other mobile… things like these…that couldn’t stop me from laughing.

#-SIS

# Oi… Enna nadakudhu inga…Avan enadi kai potutu irukaan??

And if you felt is was ok & above average- feel FREE to tell me! :)

Idhu enna orey girlish’a oru template- adhu idhunu yaravadhu sollunga… :P

Pala maadhangaluku munadiye idhu thonuchu,ADHAANGA TEMPLATE CHANGE…ippo vendaam- ippo vendaam’nu vittuten. Enna??!!....

I had a thought about changing my template, but I was only hesitating for my little heart can’t take any ( PS: ) wrecks!

Ok, finally one fine day I decided to sit& work on the design, coding & the image.There were plenty of hands offering to help. But I wanted to do this all by myself! I took one evening & almost got this new template- ALL DONE! But then it was only IE_friendly. It had a pathetic look & was not aligned at all in firefox & also it looked like a newspaper- too long!!! I tried editing…but Ooof!! I really dnt know a way out. There were so many good hearts offering to help, and THANKS TO ALL THOSE LOVELY PEOPLE!!! : ) It was overwhelming, indeed!And finally i said ok when my sis offered to help ( Very KIND of her!! :D coz she actually fixed it). She struggled with firefox & the coding & now its looks fine.Infact it looks great!! ;) Don't tell me - u have a different browser & the template still needs fixing! Am sure it works fine in ur PC- does it? :)

Irukalamaa ejamaan? ilaati theerpa- sorry template'a mathidanumaa?

PS: Indha template sudra velai elaam inga venaam :P soliputen….. Naan gaandi tension anaen- azhudhuduven. Asking is never a bad.But I hate stealing! Suda dhaan koodadhu!

One of my all time favourite.
Nayagan-Thenpaandi cheemayile
- Marutham. Kindly , Click the link to hear the song

For some reason i love this song so much....

I remember , once in the class room someone had this song in their mobile & played it. It was a lunch break & we were all rushing up finishing a home work(in Numerical Methods) that eventually all of us forgot to do the previous evening. Hearing this song.... Naan enga irundhenu marandhu poi...went to some other world. And when i got back to the real world on hearing the bell ringing, it was too late. Sir entry - for the first time, am sitting in his class without completing the H.W. I had the option of copying the answer - but i never wanted to do that.
I was hoping he wouldn't come & hit my note, but what happened?
Lucky me.... First row'la vera yaaru noteyaavadhu eduthrukka koodadha? Matnenda.....
He took my note & went through what topic he had covered the previous day. Then came to THIS PAGE- where the problem was hanging in the air....and looked through his glasses at me.Enaku semma bayam. My imagination took its worst form.And in my head" Paataa da kekra paatu-- ippo nee paatu vanguva paaru!!" I was shaken with fear, and I remained silent looking puzzled.
He returned my note book & smiled,said"So students today i will be dealing with..."
Aha...appao naan deal'a?! Ayya jolly!!
Enakku orey gushi!! Namala onnum solama poitereynu!
He used to send the students out of the class if they have not completed the work. But as i said already ,it was THE FIRST TIME- I sat in his class without completing the work . And i was one in that GUMBAL that shouts out the answer first. Hm... Enngayo aramichu engayo vandhuten.

This IS an unforgettable song for me and will always be….

The Prisoner!

Like any classical story we start ours with a happy family- it was the Christmas Eve. The big piano lying in the corner of the room was illuminated by the dim glowing lamp. And the room was filled with the aroma of the fresh Lilly that was in the vase. A beautiful young lady in her white night suit almost looking like an ANGEL was playing the carol. And then tom came to mom to ask for something. But when he neared the piano – he watched his mom- she was playing the piano with all smiles & glee… for he remember his mom mentioning – “ Christmas was the greatest time ever in my life Tom! That is the time- every year myself and my 4 sister & the 3 brothers used to sing and merry while mom used to be play all our favorite carols. Every time I play these carols – I feel their presence & I relive those lovely childhood days “ So Tom stopped and just watched his mom standing by the side. Well what question he wanted to ask….You shall know that shortly.

A year passed and in some freaky accident TOM had lost his mother. Tom’s dad almost lost himself after the death of his wife. It almost seemed like an excuse for him to escape from his responsibilities as a father. Well he never was a responsible father. And the question Tom wanted to ask mom was “ Will daddy turn up home early at least this Christmas mom? “ And yes… Tom never wanted to stay home and every year when Christmas neared things just got worse for Tom. He stopped going to school & there weren’t any responsible relative to bother about him- while his dad spent most of his time in his office which was literally shut down. He was growing up- every Christmas was haunting him with the memory of his lost Mother. She was a very wonderful person & losing her was the worst that could happen for tom. One December when Tom was 15 he ran away from the house, while Tom’s father hardly noticed his son missing. Tom became a drop out staying in the streets with no one to bother, no one to speak any sweet words. Tom hardly ate food. He dint take the bad route to earn or live a life.A 15 year old boy in the streets, can things get any worse. One stage tom fell into the bad hands, he started to smuggle. He smuggled goods & started selling drugs for very cheap profit. But Tom never used it- for he was not a kid who was desperate to get addicted to something that could kill his life. Tom did it for those who could not live without it. Yet , so guilty & annoyed with himself. A few number of times Tom did go to prison for suspicion, but every time he escaped- he was found not guilty. Tom was lucky enough.

One day while Tom was walking with the HUGE CASH that he had earned that day the wrong way in a deserted street– where smuggling was the prime activity, Tom heard some one crying in pain & yelling for help. Tom ran around and finally saw a young lady lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Tom looked around- no one was there. And he saw the eyes of the lady- with so much pain, so much of anxiety – she spoke “Please don’t leave me & go. Am very scared- I know am dying. But do notleave me alone while I pass away! It is awful to die this way- I need some one to talk to SHE SAID “
Tom said “Ma’m, let me go get some help. I could get you to the hospital. I shall go get some help! “
She said “ I know I wont survive this- I could tell you for sure I shall die in another 5 minutes. So please stay with me & listen to me. “
Tome went near to her and knelt down took her in his arms & held her hands tight and said “Ma’m I am Tom.Say what you want me to hear. “
She spoke “ I am Sara, the daughter of the richest man in this city- The business man who owns that Book shop in the corner of the street. I love my Dad & Mom. I had no complain with my life. But with so much money & a number of rich friends who dint know how to spend the money- I ended up in drugs. I am not an addict. But I did use drugs for the pleasure of using it. Yeah – I know you think what a cheap girl at this age would use drugs- just for the sake of pleasure. My Mom & Dad they just do not have enough time for me. They were always busy with their lives. I do not complain they do not love me- but dint quite well express it. And they are not aware of me using drugs. Am going to tell you something & you are the first person am going to confess this to, and unfortunately the last one too. So if you could pass it on to the right person & only the right person please do so. I have this family friend- his name is Sam. Sam and I were real great buddies from my kinder garden. And every time Sam did something sweet – I always wanted to tell him that I really like him. But for some issue – I always used to pick fights with him. I took too much advantage of his sweetness. Yet never has he yelled back at me nor has he stopped talking to me or take care of me. I never realized what a special person I had right next to me- and yet never realized he was special. What a fool had I been? When ever tom spoke of his worries- I never really cared or even took notice of, but had always used to end it saying “ Ok Sam, you will get over with it.” But yet never really felt what he was going through or tried to comfort him. But Sam was such a gentle man he always tried to manage with a smile.”
By this time, Tom noticed her struggle to breathe. And Tom very well understood it was the time.
She struggled and continued “ Well Tom, I was lucky enough to get you here today & it was very kind of you to stay with me and listen to me. I would like you to tell Sam that i really loved from our high school days & I still love him. I had just been a fool & like my parents- forgot to express my love – the right time – to the right person & the right way. Tell Sam that I love him more than anyone & the day he bought me those Red roses- I wanted to tell him that I love him. But did not for the my EGO dint let me. Will you do it for me Tom, will you tell Sam? Just this… “ And gently another wonderful soul passed away – right in front of Tom’s eyes.
In another few minutes- when it was 12:00 am - Tom was arrested on the spot by the police officer who came for patrol through that route. Tom wished that the officer had arrived earlier & they could have attempted to save her. But things just got worse when Tom was taken to the station. Tom with the BIG MONEY in rugged clothes – was suspected for getting the money to kill the richest man’s daughter. Tom tried to explain, he tried saying it was the money he got through selling drugs. But the police wouldn’t listen to him- for when he was suspected for the same crime earlier – Tom very well got away with the image he could not have done this. And that time Tom acted really well, that police confirmed it was the money he got for killing Sara. Tom dint have any explanation- that could convince the police. And Tom who hated living- and was waiting to die & hated to commit suicide decided to take this bravely. The case went on & Tom was to be hung dead on 26th December. Tom spent a few days in the jail, until 26th December. He was given a regular visit by one of the NUN’S from a church on humanitarian basis, as the boy dint record anyone as relative. Tom initially said he doesn’t want to see any one. But after his first meet – he changed his mind. The NUN resembled his MOM; she looked so much like the same Angel. So Tom did speak with her & they had been having a real good time chatting for days. They had grown great friends in matter of days. One day the NUN asked tom “ Tom, Are you happy here in the jail? “ And Tom said “ Had never felt better – with people here who love you so much & the times when we all sit together for meal. The chats! The games we all play. And the love & affection we share- knowing we are not going to be there for each other always- it is all special & it is the first time I am experiencing so much of care after my mom’s death.” Then the NUN asked” Tom I do not think you are such a cruel person to murder someone for money sake. Honestly,did you kill Sara? “

THE TESTIMONY!
Tom said ” Sister!! I want to tell you this & i don't want you to try doing anything about the judgement.I did not kill Sara!” And then he narrated what happened that night. Then he requested that he sees Sam, just once before his execution. And the NUN did ask Tom if she could try convincing them and request for his release. But Tom refused & said” I enjoyed my life here with these wonderful people(The inmates) during this Imprisonment period . And I got all the attention I wanted. I happened to meet you & I did chat so much with you. Sometimes I felt the same way I used to while I was having a great chat with my Mom. And I was not earning for my living the right way. I had indirectly been killing lives slowly- though not directly but through the drugs I sold. And the reason Sara came there that day was because of some one like me – who sells drugs & it so happened she was killed by some rouge that day. And she made my life meaningful by serving the purpose to tell you & the world about things we should value in life and not complain. Through me she has made a point about the fact – Do not postpone loving for it may be too late. And value what you have in your life. And I shall die peacefully now- for it is payback time. I must payback for what I had been doing these days. And the man who killed Sara shall know about this- and his guilt shall not leave him free. I hope all our lives are a good lesson for those to come. I should have been a supportive son when my father broke after my mother’s death. But I was too selfish I could not stay back to comfort him , but run away for my own living & live a life that only started to slowly kill more slowly. What was my purpose of life? Other than help Sara- die with someone comforting her morally.And the worst thing that could happen for someone is to be alone while dying & yet you have so much to tell the loved ones- Things that you forgot or neglected.”

The next day – a meeting with Sam was arranged & Tom spoke to Sam for an hour & Sam came out of the room with tears in his eyes. Tears that said “ I was late too!! ”
December 25th- the night that Tom hated every year after his mothers death. This year it was special- special for of course his last night- his last Christmas- his last day-his last Christmas feast- his last day to smile & thank god for his life. And unlike the previous years- Tom was celebrating with a bunch of lovely people 7 yes of course the NUN. She was there with the pudding & chocolate cake that was specially made for Tom. That’s was the last & happiest day in tom’s life.

Now we all have some lesson learnt from his story. We may be any of the character in this narration & yet we are all human beings with some grudge or complain about our life. But what we all forget to see- is What we actually have! And we forget to live with what we got , but are always fond of complaining about what we do not have. Those who have money – may not have happiness (Like the divorcee - business man). Those who have happiness in their life- may not have the money (The happy family of the cobbler in the corner of the street) . But those who appreciate what they have & realize what they have-that someone else do not have & is longing for, are the one’s who are successful in life.
