Sunday.

Gin gets up in the morning and is surprised to see R already awake and sitting in a corner messaging.

Gin:  "R, enna da ... P oda samaadhaanam aaiduchaa ... cha...oru swarasiyamey illama sanda pottukareenga da...  oru one year...at least 6 months sanda pottu pesaama irundhaa oru gethu.... maximum 6 hours ..adhukulla la poi sorry kettudara.... waste da nee "

Gin: "already ezhu murai message anupchitta... idhukkum reply varalennaa  .... 'yettu another failure ' nu oru mokka joke adippen ...adhukku dhaan :) "

Gin: "seri ok 10 mins...takkunu ready aagu...time aachu... kelambanum....wonder la!"

R: "yes...wonderla.....ellathayum marandhuttu innaikku freak out pannaporen!"


After 600 seconds .

R is in front of the dressing table.

Gin: "Dei.... ennadaa idhu  pattayaaa pacha color la oru belt.... karate la vaanginadha?"

R: "illa... kada-theru la vaanginadu...."

Gin: "vera color-ey kedaikaliyaa da unakku!"

Gin: "dei...edho message vandhaa maadhiri irukku...."

R: "aah...apdiyaa...ayyayo..."  (looks anxiously at the cellphone)

Gin: "kelambi vaa... message um varala oru mannum varala.... ivan laam dood aam..."



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On their way to Wonder-la . Gin drives the bike and R sits behind.

Speed: 27 Km/hr.

R: "wow... munnadi semmayaa oruthi passion bike la oru dood oda poittu irukka da.....c'mon da...follow pannu da andha bike a.. quick quick...."

Gin: "dei...edhukku.... adi vaangaradhukka.... "

R: "machan....idhula thappey illa da...naan padichirukken da"

Gin: "padichirukiyaa????ennada solra?"

R: "self help books la laam padichadhilla nee??....."

Gin: "self-help  aa?? edhu....indha 'Count your chickens before they run away with the neighbors dog'....andha maadhiri books a?"

R: "exactly...andha maadhiri books ellathulayum 'follow your passion' nu potirupaangaley da.. adhaan follow panna solren...adhu passion bike dhaan."

Gin: (to himself) "aandavaa... ivan thirundhara maadhiri theriyala.... innaikku ennenna nadakka pogudho...."


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Wonderla (Crowded Ticket counter)


Gin : "Machaan... ticket 500 rooba.... ATM card irukka....???"

R :"he he... indha PAN card, Driving License , ATM card ... idhelaamey wallet la
    original vechikka koodhaadhu... xerox copy dhaan vechikanum nu engamma sollirukaanga da"

Gin: "ada thoo...kaasilannu solradhu kku ipdi oru saakka....naaney ticket eduthu tholaikaren..."

R: (in a loud tone)"adhu seri...ennada....ticket vaangaravan ellarum thelivaa irukaanga"

A couple of people throw a weird  glance at Gin and R.

Gin : (in a silent tone)"yennadaa solra????"

R: " illa da... water theme park.....varravanga ellarum thanni la irupaangannu sonnayey...adhaan ketten"

Gin: (silencing R) "ssshhh....enda ipdi silra thanamaa pesittey irukka...."

R: "be the change you want to see nu ....yaaro sollirukaangaley.... (thinks)"

Gin: "Gandhiji sonnaru....aana indha artham illa...."

R : "endraikku midnight 12 manikku oru vaalibanaal besant nagar beach il ilam pengalai sight adikka mudigiradho....andraikku dhaan indha naadu sudhandhiram petradhu endru artham..... idhu yaaru sonna? carl lewis aa  karl marx a???"

Gin : "shut up .. ippo nirutha poriyaa illayaa !!"

R: "ok...ok... silence.. history pidikaadhunnaa sollittu po...yen kathara ??"


[After a few seconds]
Gin: (to himself)"aandavaa... ivan thirundhara maadhiri theriyala.... innaikku ennenna nadakka pogudho...."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Inside Wonder la..


R: "machaa,.... follow me.....gold da..gold...."

R rushes towards a pretty girl who is walking at a distance.
Gin carries his heavy body and tries to match R's speed.

R after nearing the girl starts whistling for a while... dosen't get any response from the girl... and then hums an old Ilayaraja melody.

R: "♫  ... endha pennidamum illaadha ondru...adhu edho....unnidam irukiradhu....♫ ♪...adhai ariyaamal vidamaatten....adhu varai unnai thoda maaten....♫   "

Gin just reaches the place and pulls R from behind and stops him.
Gin: "dei vetti....adhu ponnu illada...payyan....long hair vechirundhaa back side la irundhu paathaa aambalayaa pombalayaa nnu kooda adayaalam theriyaadhaa da...."

R: "aaha...thanks machan... vaa...avanukku artham puriyaradhukulla odiduvom...."

Gin: "aandavaa.... (fill in the blanks) "


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After hours of rides ,both Gin and R are terribly tired.
R wants to try one more ride while Gin refuses.

Lazy river - Basically a ride to relax where you get into a man made river and just stay afloat for 30 minutes as you slowly move across the river to the other end. 

R wants to try it while Gin who is even more lazier than the river decides to stay back and sit under a tree.


 R immediately after jumping into the river finds a girl floating alongside alone . He waits for a while and just keeps pace with the girl.

R (striking a conversation..) : "hey"
girl  : "hello... "
R: "nice place ..huh"
girl: "oh yeah...am loving it"
R: "coincidence! am loving it too!"
girl: "what was that?"
R :"never mind... where are you from ? Bangalore?"
girl: "why do you want to know?"
R: "ok...lets talk something else... how did the indo-US congress for the welfare of the african tribes meeting go? i heard the tribes were going like 'ooooooooo' "
girl: "omg!"
R: "he he... so u want to switch back to the older question?"
girl: "u r funny!"
R : "no..i am R ...from chennai!"
girl: "chennai yaa??? sooper!"
R: "oh... tamizhaa nee?"
girl: "aamaam.....am pooja"
R: "saraswathi a lakshmi aa?"
girl: "what?"
R: "enna pooja nnu ketten"
girl: "kadavuley...."
R: "rendumey kadavul dhaan ... he he..."
.
.
.

[in the meantime]
Gin sits under a tree. No one is seen around.
Suddenly from nowhere a guy silently moves towards Gin and tells him something . 
A hushed conversation takes place for a while. 
Gin looks around for R and to his shock finds him at a distance with a girl!



.
.
.
R: "so pooja... unakku coimbatore la friends irukaangalaa?"

Pooja: (thinks for a sec) "illayey.... not anybody i can think of immediately"

R: (sigh of relief) "good... thanks!"

Pooja: "yenna  good...yenna thanks?? "

R: "illa...coimbatore ponnunga laam oru maadhiri ... u know.... romba koba kaara ponnunga.... adhaan... just... sonnen.... "

Pooja: "ennada R...girlfriend aa?? therinjaa adi pinniduvaala?? "

R: "cha cha.. not at all.... Girlfriend irundhaa unna maadhiri oru azhagaana ponnada time spend pannuvenaa?"

Pooja: "...summa kadha vidadha da...."

R: " azhaga irukennu sonnaa kadha vidarennu solra..."

Pooja: "hey... naan sonnadhu girl friend kaaga"

R: "cha cha.... naan oru suthamaana payyan.... u know...as pure as ... u know.... cooker la irundhu suda suda edutha  idli maadhiri....avlo pure"

Pooja:"ayyoooooo...."

R: "nee epdi??"

Pooja: "avasiyam sollanumaa...don't u think this is too much for a conversation with a stranger on a random ride like this?"

R: "well...life is a strange movie ... with twists and turns all over the place"

What happens after this needs a bit of explanation. The suddenness of what is about to happen might be tough to explain in words, but i would invite the reader to imagine the situation. All of what is explained below happens in about 2-3 seconds.
 The river takes a twist, Pooja's float turns first and goes away from sight. At the same instant, one other float from behind crashes on R's float and he is shaken up a bit.Both their floats stop at the turn of the river and R turns at once instinctively to find some unknown guy smiling at him in a weird manner. The Random guy who could not have seen Pooja by any chance smiles again at R and says

Random_guy: "Sir.... Ungalukaaga dhaan ivlo dhooram vandhen!"

R: "Yaaruyaa nee?"

Random_guy: "naan yaarungaradhu mukkiyam illa sir.... unga prachanaya epdi theekaradhunnugaradhu dhaan mukkiyam"

R: "ennayaa solra??? enna prachana?enna theekka pora nee???"

Random_guy: "enakku ellam theriyum sir.....(smiles weirdly again) girlfriend kooda laam sanda pottaa summa vida koodaadhu sir!"

R: "yov.... enna venum unakku???"

Random_guy: (suddenly lowers his voice) : "sir... unga friend ellathayum sonnaru.... indha maadhiri problem ku ellam naan dhaan sir indha area la dealer..leader...ellamey..... neenga mattum indha leggiyam vaangi saapudunga....  ungalukku 10 ey nimishathula yaanai balam kedaikkum sir .... aprom neengaley nenachaalum ungalaala......sir...sir.... enga sir poreenga.... irunga sirr.....just 2000 rupees sirr... unga friend neenga kandippa vaanguveengannu sonnaaru sirrr.....sirrr....."

R accelerates his float and takes the turn to find Pooja's float at a distance

Pooja (at a distance..getting out of the float) :"All the best with your girlfriend  R... my lazy friends are waiting... nice meeting u.... bbyeeeeeeeeee"


R lies on the float and starts staring blankly at the sky ...

From the HR Department:

Hey Folks,

I tried to hire a HR representative to post the admin related details, but the only one i could hire for free was myself. So here i am, posting the details.

First and foremost, Gilmananda has successfully survived 1000 straight days (with occasional extended periods of hibernation ) !!!
In any case we will celebrate the blogs 1000th birthday now!!!




And on this special occasion, i thank all the regular followers who have kept me inspired either by commenting on the blog, or sending emails or dropping in a line in gchat or sending occasional flowers (well, one of the four is not true). 

On this special day, i invite any of you interested to send an email to vdrn485@gmail.com or leave a comment here in case you want your blog to be linked to Gilmananda's blogroll.

Finally,I (along with all of you) hope Gin and R will continue to inspire mankind to lead a foolish life and still be content with it !!!

Thanks for reading.

Have a nice day! And have a great Christmas/New year!

Sincerely,
Gilmananda (neither holy, nor poli )

Quick Tit Bits from Gin-R conversations
-----------------------------------------------------------------


(Gin&R over the lunch table)
R: "Machan.... neraya hindi ponnunga azhagaa irukaanga machan... namma epdiyavadhu hindi kathukittey aaganum"

Gin: "hindi bhahut easy hai machan...meraa paas seek kar "

R: "pulippu naa hindi la enna da?"

Gin: "pulippu matlab khattaa "


R: "appo romba pulippu naa?"


Gin:(thinks for a second): "semma kattaa !!!"




=================================================



(Gin & R during internship)
Gin: "machaan.... innaikku bayangaramaa mazha peyyudhu... work from home pottuttu veetlayey summa irukalaamnu irukken da"

R : "yen da.... leave poda vendiyadhu dhaaney.... CL laam enna pannittu irukka?"

Gin: "silly fellow....enga manager sollirukaaru....CL laam am romba precious aam.... you must always save it for a rainy day aam!!"

R: "!@#$%^"


==================================================


(Gin&R during an usual useless conversation)

R: "machaan.... you know something.."

Gin: "soldaa..."

R:" nethu i got invited to P's place da"

Gin:" wow...avalukku nichyadharthamaa?"

R: "cha.... abasagunamaa pesaadha da.... i was invited for golu at her place"

Gin : "machaan... stop..."

R: "enakku andha paatu romba pidichirundhu da.... i even recorded her voice machaan..."

(R plays the song from his mobile... as the song proceeds, one could witness strange expressions of disgust, sorrow, irritation etc mixed in equal proportions appearing now and then on Gin's face)

R: "idha pathi un karuthu enna da....i can tell her ur views next time i  meet her"

Gin: "enakku orey oru pazhamozhi dhaan da thonudhu. "


R: "wow.... enna da?"

Gin :" 'summa irundhaa song-a oodhi keduthaalaam aunty' .... idha apdiyey poi avanga kitta sollu...udaney ponna kalyanam panni vechiduvaanga....dei dei...aaloda ammakitta ellam  yendaa ippovey pambareenga... unga la ellam thiruthavey mudiyaadhu da"

Besant Nagar Baywatch - part 2


Ok. Here is the deal ppl. I have an exam coming up in another two days or so and my alter ego is busy preparing for it. He wouldn't allow me to sleep, he wouldn't allow me to freak out , he wouldn't allow me to blog... nasty chap he is (oh, yeah am talking abt the alter-ego fellow...not my prof).I just managed to silently sneak out of my study without his knowledge and thought shall quickly update my fav blog before he finds out.  So the deal is this. This post can be short, incomplete , incoherent, nonsensical , mixed up, random, noisy , foolish and may be even with illegible handwriting . Please bear with me on this.

PS: If you are already looking up a doc/psychologist's number to suggest me, please refrain from doing so. I am not schizophrenic at all. (However,I just enrolled for a PhD program and you may derive similar sounding conclusions from it. I will leave that to the imagination of the reader) .
On the other hand If you are a nice person and are thinking that the description in the last two lines of the previous paragraph agrees with any of the posts in this blog and nothing new that was not known before has been told, then smile gently to yourself and proceed further.


Happy reading.

R is now seen moving towards P .. That being a weekend, the place is too crowded and after a minute's walk he misses P in the crowd. He turns back and neither finds Gin at the place where he left him. Turns back again to find P at a distance entering into some shop . He thinks for a second and calls Gin.

He hears the following tone

"Neenga dial seidha vaadhikaiyaalar tharpozhudhu bhajji saapittu kondirukiraar.
satru neram kazhithu thodarbu kollavum"

R   : "dei vetti...ava edho kadaikulla poittaa da... ippo enna pandradhu?"

Gin :(in a villainous tone) "evlo selavaanaalum paravaalla...andha kadayaa vaangidu"

R   : "loosu maadhiri pesaadha... ippo andha kadaikkulla pogavaa vendaamaa?"

Gin : "kandippa podaa... poi naturalaa meet pandraa maadhiri meet pannu... aprom un theramaya use panni conversation a continue pannu"

R   : "apdeengara?"

Gin : "seekiram poda... kerala kaaran kadayaa irukka pogudhu... anga irukara malayala pasangalaam paaka gethaa irupaangannu kelvi patirukken!"

R   : "seri...edho solra... poren..."


R rushes towards the shop. Enters it and finds P at a distance.

(At this point, we would silently mention to the reader that R just assumed it was a cloth shop but never noticed the name of the shop whose board in front read as follows:
First line: (small font)     'à®…à®™்காளத்தம்மன் துணை '  (Angalathamman thunai)
Second line: (large font):' மகாலட்சுà®®ி à®®ாட்சிà®™் சென்டர் ' (Mahalatchumi matching center)
Third line (small font) : 'இங்கு அணைத்து வித ரவிக்கை துணிகளுà®®் கிடைக்குà®®் ' (Ingu anaithu vidha ravikkai thunigalum kidaikkum)


After few minutes of moving around consciously avoiding her view, he suddenly
appears in front of her. P looks at him and is shocked. R manages a similar expression of shock. After a second , somehow hiding the pride of his histrionic skills, he says

R   : "Hey P... enna indha pakkam?"

P   : "mm.. just like that.... nee enna indha pakkam"

R  : "he he...purchase"

P  : "oh..yaarukku... unakka?"

R  : "of cors... enakku dhaan "

P  : "oh.. nee inga adikadi varuviyaa?"

R  : "he he... aamaam... naan eppavumey inga dhaan vaanguven"
P  : "oho... " (tries to control laughing)
R : "u know... i like the customer service here very much... moreover lots of varieties ... en tastekku etha maadhiri kedaikkum"
P : "oho ... " (laughs a little bit more now)
R: "yen sirikara P... "

P : "no no.. nothing..naan vera edo nenachu sirikaren... u go on... un taste enna?"
R : " he he...ippolaam naan full hand dhaan podaren.... adhuvum the ones with... u know...."


(suddenly slows down his tone and looks around)



P goes to 'uncontrollable laughter mode' .

R without even waving good-bye rushes out of the shop before a blink of the eye.







On his way back, his cellphone suddenly vibrates... he stops running and looks at it.

Message 1:
Sender: P

Message: " i am still laughing da ... :) "







Message 2:

Besant Nagar Baywatch - Part 1

For all those readers who expected 'stuff' looking at the title of this post, i am sorry, i am going to disappoint you.
Afterall i am a pathetic author left with three abnormal characters (well to do justice, let me say 'appappo normal' characters) - Gin , R and P.
Operating under such heavy constraints of weaving stories with these three people, it would be nearly a sin if the readers unfairly
assumed the 'P' of this post to be 'Pamela Anderson'. No, it is still the same three people with exactly the same worldview but just a
different day and a different place.

Ok. Here we go.


Besant Nagar Beach!

(I will skip the part where i should describle the location, the chill wind, the beautiful waves, the babycorn-milagai_bhajji-appalam shops etc etc.)

Gin after a long discussion with R over phone on whether he should come to chennai or R should come to bangalore for the weekend during their internship,
finally decided that besant nagar beach provided richer and more admissible flora and fauna than forum mall of bangalore and hence he should be at chennai.


Saturday evening- 6 P.M
-----------------------

Gin and R are seen sitting on the slab near a 'jaljeera' shop in besant nagar beach. They both seem a little lost in thoughts (of whom,we won't go into).


R: (breaking a long silence) :"Nature is a great equalizer da... what do you say?"
Gin: "ginger soda is a great appetizer da"

R: "vaangi kudichu thola"

Gin orders one.

R: "dei Gin... indha beach la irukaradhu ellam tamizh pasanga ponnunga dhaan da...aana enda ulaga scene podaraanga? any idea?"

Gin: "adhu scene illa da...avanga brought up apdi"

R: "enna brought up...podalanga brought up...veetla ellarum local tamizh la dhaan pesuvaanga kandippa..."

Gin: (points to something) "seri... idho idhu enna?"

R: "?"

Gin: "solda...idhu enna?"

R: (in a weird tone) "chair..."

Gin: "paathiyaa...english la solra... thappu sollanumnaa idhuvum thappu dhaaney"

R: "seri ..tamizhla solren... naarkaali...othukariyaa ippo"

Gin: "idhey 3 legs irundhaa ennanu solluva?"

R: "hmm.... mukkaali"

GIn: "oru leg irundhaa?"

R (about to say something...stops suddenly): "i understand ur point machi....nee gethu da!"

Gin: "aanaa adhukaaga indha tanglish pasangala naan support pandrennu mattum nenaikaadha"

R: "yen da?"

Gin: "konja naal munnadi idhey edathula rendu per pesittu irundhaanunga.... chennai la edho oru engineering college la computer science padikaraanunga"

R: "enna pesinaanga?"

Gin: "oruthan innoruthana ketaan 'dood...whats a palindrome da?'
                                                  'dood... why ya askin dood?'
                                                  'lakz pingd me dood... i have no frickin clue abt it '
                                                  'palindrome...must be some metallica stuff dood... 
                                                  lakz a metallica  freak u know'
                                                  'no macha...lakz a iron maiden crazy fan da... '
 ipdiyey pesittey irundhaanunga da"

R: "ha ha...kadaisila enna aachu?"

Gin: "sema kadi aayitten... ulla poondhu...'dei... dood dood nu solreengaley...adhuvey oru palindrome dhaanda vetti pasangalaannu thittitu vandhen"

R: "vidra vidra... rendu pera vechu ellarayum eda podadha da..."

Gin: "adhu ennamo seri dhaan....aanaa paaru... onnu ipdi irukaanunga... illanaa inga varravan ellam s/w engineers a irukaanunga... "

R: "adhuvum paadhi per 'aal'oda vandhu torture pandraanunga .... cha... where is this country going?"

Gin: "indha maadhiri kootathukelaam oru peru vekkanum da"

R: "peraa...enna peru da?"

Gin: (thinks for a sec) "Unmarried Software Engineers Looking Everywhere for Social Silumishams --- epdi?... abbreviate panna USELESS nu varum... poruthamaa irukkum"

R: "super da... aana internship mudinjaa nammalum USELESS aayiduvomaa da?"

Gin:"kavala padaadha da...appo Unmarried S/w Engineers Fuleing Urban Livelihood nu maathikalaam.... USEFUL aayiduvom!"

R: "nee thirundhave matta da... jolly a kindal pandra... avan avanukku enna kashtamo...adho paaru.. oru 30+ plus aalu thaniyaa poittu irukaan... ivana ellam endha

category la sekkaradhu... ivan thalaila mudi vera kotti pochu paavam"


Gin: "machan... indha beach kku varradhu rendu category da....  Vaazhkai smoothaa illannu kavala padara category onnu... Vazhukkai smooth aa irukkennu kavala padara

category onnu... ivan rendaavadhu category!"


At this point, something totally unexpected happens. Yes!! At a distance, 'P' is seen walking with a few friends.  Gin firsts finds her and informs R. Both of them get

excited. R pays for the Jaljeera and starts to follow P. What happens next?

Ratha Paasam.

Gin runs into R's room as fast as he could. His heart skips beats at regular intervals. He rushes in, takes a seat, takes a deep breath.


R: "dei Gin...enna da aachu... ipdi odi vara? anything important? HOD kku udambukku edhavadhu?"


GIn: "aaha...enna oru paasam"


R: "illa da... naalaikku vandhu meet panna sonnaru... important a oru discussion"

Gin: "huh... silly fellow...seri...unna oru health related question kekaren...badhil sollu paapom"

Gin: "idha enna namba solriyaa?"

Gin: "'salwar gal' nu nethu evening google la search pannavan dhaaney nee..ippo 'alwaar gal'pathi search pandranaa epdi da nambaradhu? ...laptopa kudu daa inga"

Gin jumps on R and pushes him away. Checks the laptop.

The next scene at R's room is simple to imagine. Gin is seen below the bed rolling on the floor laughing.
It is rumoured secretly that Gin continued laughing for so long and so hard that his eyes started
bleeding. And now that folks explains the amazing yet subtle connection with the title of this
useless post!

Day Ondhu.


People arrive, people depart. love blossoms, love withers. Friends come,  Friends stay .

"When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer

in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer 
from the plain."

Magic words of Khalil Gibran (from the Prophet).

Ha,  for people who are wondering why the author has inclined strangely
towards sentimental babbles in a blog like this, there is some not so good news.
Gin and R have ended up in different companies for internship. (yes the money-bug spares no one). Gin is posted in Bengaluru and R in Chennai.Tragedy.

It is with a heavy heart (often cited as reason for obesity by Gin) that Gin waves good bye to R and other close friends and packs off to Bengaluru. He feels a strange analogy of college life to that of a cracker. Oh yes, they did have a cracker of a time. But alas, Time has acted like a candle with a fiery flame to which the entire Gilma gang which was like a unlighted 'kambimathappu' put their heads into and at the moment when they least expected, the mathaappu ignites and out they are thrown like the sparkles , each one to a different place in the country. How sad :( . Terrible.
Every minute of the last day moves like an hour. Slowly but eventually,the sands of time creep into the last hour of their college life together. Drops of tears trickle down the cheek of the entire gilma gang as they hug each other one by one (nC2 times). The tides of the sea of memory rises up painting fond pictures of time spent together ... and when the tide goes back, it takes back not only sand from the shore but also... oh man...bullshit! it is unbelievably tough to write a pathos script..... lets cut the crap and get straight to business!!



Bengaluru - City of dreams - City where one can 'figure' out all of life's wanting!


Gin is on the night bus from coimbatore to bengaluru. He is excited like hell. At the same time afraid. This is not his first metropolitan visit. He has visited Chennai umpteen number of times before , but hey Bengaluru is different. It is no match to chennai , its so different- one of his seniors had said. Of course he knew both chennai and bengaluru had one famous thing common between them - MGR!
While Gin scarcely cared about the Maruthur Gopalan Ramachandran of Chennai, he was all too excited about the Mahatma Gandhi Road of Bengaluru.
Moreover he had heard that Bengaluru was famous for 'Mall'. What on earth could that be, he had wondered that night on the bus. Even after a long struggle, he could not arrive at any decent meaning for the word.
And then there were the Pubs! Pub city, they called it. Wow!  'And What of Chennai- with koovam running right across the city, it is huh, Gub city ' he thought to himself.

And of course the girls! well gals ...or even better - gurls - if you would prefer it.
'Surprising it is' he thought,' Why do all the beautiful girls happen to be in the same city?'.No answer there either. However, time gave him an answer in less than an years stay at Bengaluru. An answer that came to his mind when he was going through a C++ book.  More on that later. (Remind me if i forget to tell you in a few posts from now)

Time - 4 AM.
---------------------
Place: Seat number 17, Window.
--------------------------------------------------

The bus lights are switched on.
"silk board ....silk board panni...panni panni...silk board panni' the conductor shouts.

"silk board panni yaa? pudusaa irukkey! indha oorla panni kooda silku rangekku irukkum pola irukku...what a wonderful city" .

He puts his head out out of the window and looks out into the dark. An auto driver shouts at him from below... "pandri....elli hoga beku.... pandri...bega pandri"


'aaa... namalla paathu panni ngaraan.... adhuvum sutha tamizhla pandri ngaraan.... tamizh semmozhingaradhula doubtey illa'

He puts his head in and closes the window.



Time 9 AM
-----------------
Place: Hotel Udupi Park, Murugeshpalya.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Gin: "ondhu roast"

Cashier: "ippathaidhu"

Gin: "sorry"


Cashier: "hindi maalum?"

Gin: "hmm...sumaara maalum"

Cashier: "pachees"

Gin: "no no...no cheese..plain roast"

Cashier: "tamizhaa nee?"

Gin: "he he..aamaam"

Cashier: "twenty five rupees"

Gin: "idhu english aachey"

Cashier: "yov..kaasa eduyaa..customer waiting"

Gin: "sorry guru!"




Time 7 PM
-----------------
Place:Forum Mall
------------------------------

Gin looks in awe at the mall and the people who walk around it. He now somehow gets an intuitive feeling of  why it is called 'mall'. He suddenly
thinks.
'okka makka...ella payalum jodi jodi ya suthraanunga...mothamaa mall la ethana per irukaanga nnu count panna even number dhaan varum kandippa.... naan irukaradhaala odd aayidum pola irukkey... cha.. iam the odd one out'

At this moment he hears a voice. Its an young school boy.

"Excuse me uncle, time please"

Damage. Great Damage. Gin controls the flood of abusive words that rush to his mouth. He takes his nokia-1100 mobile from his pocket and looks at the display.

Gin: "7:10"

Boy: "tamizhaa"

Gin: "dei... yaaruda nee?"

Boy: "paaka sumaara irukeenga...indha cellphone vechirundha epdi urupaduveenga..... enna angle?"

Gin:" enna? enna...angle ?"

Boy: " whats your angle dood"

'ennavaa irukkum..... angle na? ennada pesaraan ivan...seri edhavadhu solli veppom.... indha oorey marmamaa irukku'

Gin: "radians or degrees?"

Boy: "he he...indha cell phone vechirukum podhey nenachen..... 20 kooda theraadhu pola irukkey"

Gin: "dei...yaaruda nee...oorukku pudusunaa emathalaamnu paakariyaa"

Boy: "thala... oorukku pudhusaa...appo angle naley ennannu theriyadhunnu sollu"

Gin: "aamam...theriyadhu...angle na enna?"

Boy: "thala... oru 'aal' set aayidichunaa angle -90 nu artham.... set aagi 3-6 maasam smooth a poittu irukunaa 120 nu artham... adhutha maasam kalyanam na 180 nu artham.... paatha padichavan maadhiri irukka...idhu theriyala"

Gin: "enna oru karuthu.... idhu theriyama pochey"

Boy: "ippo sollu angle enna...20 dhaaney"

Gin: "he he... pathu kooda theraadhu maapla"

Boy: "hayyo hayyo...cellphone a mudhalla maathu baa... naan kelambaren..."

The boy starts to leave.

Gin: "dei dei...irudaa"

Boy: "enna thala"

Gin :"edhukku daa enna paathu uncle nu sonna modhalla.... naan unna vida naalanju vayasu dhaan periyavanaa iruppen.."

Boy: "machi....adho poraaleyy...ava en school ponnu...naan unna time kekkum podhu ipdi cross panna...paathiyaa"

Gin :"illayey... paakala"

BOy: "aanaa ava unna oru look vitta....adhukku dhaan ava kaadhula kekkaraa maadhiri uncle nnu sonnen"

Gin: "dei...dei.... +2 dhaaney padikara"

Boy: "aamaam thala"

Gin: "molachu innum..."

Boy: "thala stop stop.... chennai la dhaan retta ela ,moonu ela ...molaikaradhu.ellam... this is bengaluru thala....illi fullu sakkath fast maga"

Gin: "sinθ/cosθ evlo da..sollu paapom"

Boy: "tanθ thala... naanga padipulayum fast.... remaining blanks a neeyey fill pannikko...bye bye...aprom varum podhu paathen...nee andha 'coffee day' board a yey morachi morachi paathuttu irundha.... adhu 'coffee ka-day' kku spelling mistake laam illa.... 'coffee day' dhaan kadai perey...ha ha.....welcome to bengaluru thala.... enjoy maadi ! good bye"



And thus ended the eventful first day at the city of dreams.

Gin enters the room singing " ♫ oh i like me...en laser paayum kangal...en caesar pondra tholgal ♫ "

Gin: "ok...naan sonnadha sei... mugatha apdi um nu vechikaadha... edhayo pari kuduthavan maadhiri irukku...."

At this time some random guy V enters the room...

The next day
--------------------

Gin enters R's room. R is not seen anywhere in the room. Gin happens to look at R's laptop that is nearby.
Gmail.com
1 unread message.
From: dad
Subject: 'Re: Bharth-Matrimony registration reg'

Gin opens and reads it. Gin takes a few seconds to realize whats happening.
R enters the room.

Gin: "machi...nethu thanni adichirundhaya da"

R(still sporting a pathos look) :" illayey ...yen "

Gin: "dope?"

R: "enna da matter"

Gin: "seri... matrimony site la update panniyaa?"

R: "panneney"

Gin: "oru 41 vayasu figure reply pannirukku machi.... kattinaa unna dhaan kattumaa.... otha kaalla nikkudhaam.... ivala mattum ok pannu..aprom P kku nee appa stanatha adanjitta maadhiri aayidum da!!"

R: "dei...ennadaa solra"

R jumps onto the laptop and reads the mail from his father.  He takes a second to realize his foolishness.

Gin shouts as he leaves running out of the room.
"machi...epdi epdi ..college mudinja udaney alma matter.....adhutha maasamey kalyanam...adhukadhutha vaaramey kozhandhai..... engayo poitta da...aana onnu mattum solren... varungaalathula naan oru blog ezhudhuven....adhula kandippa indha incident a ezhudhiyey theeruven da.... idhelaam nyayapadi kalvettula porikanum... naan internet la yavadhu porikaren...idhu sathiyam da...sathiyam!!!"

----------------------------------------------****-----------------------------------------------------------------
Though it was a personal email from R's father to him, i will give here the portion of  what remains in my memory.


"Dear Son,
What is this you have done? Why have you modified the age field of your cousin Bharath's matrimony page? His father called me up and he is not at all happy with it . This is not a joke and i hope you understand it. As a computer science student, I just wanted you to check if everything in it was fine. I will call you today evening.
Love,
Father"

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS: Authors plea to all fathers/50+ people: Computer science students can do much more than checking the sanctity of matrimony pages of random cousin brothers and sisters. Please let go the  'the bright chap who can fix mouse/monitor issues' attitude towards us. We deserve more, much more than that!!

The Omnipresent!

The screen opens. Its a huge palace and in the middle of it is seated the majestic king with a shining crown on his head . Next to him below the steps is seen the minister of internal/external affairs!

Gin: "mannar mannaa"

R   : "en ambirku uriya Gin amaicharey.... naatil enna nadakiradhu endru ovvondraai koorungal.... pala naatkalaai arasaanga vishayangalil gavanam seluthaamal irundhu vitten... indru ellavatrayum therindhu kolla aasaipadugiren"

R: "naan tatkal il muyarchi seyyalaam endru ninaithen amaicharey..."


At this point alarm rings . "its time to get up..its 4:30 AM" . R jumps out of the bed. Checks the watch. gets shocked looking
at the time. Looks at the mobile. Three messages recieved .

Message 1:
Time: 3:03 AM
Sender P:
"i am ready. Shall we start?"


Message 2:
Time: 3:42 AM
Sender P:
"Hey the train is at 5 o clock. Are you coming or i am taking an auto"


Message 3:
Time: 4:28 AM
Sender P:
"useless affectionless idiot. good bye"



At this moment, Gin passes by R's room towards the washroom to take a piss. He sings with sleepy eyes and a broken voice as he walks across with drooped shoulders
"kanavu kaanum vaazhkayaavum kalaindhu pogum kolangal..."

R puts his hands over his head and keeps starring at Gin. After a few seconds he jumps out of his bed and goes and beats him up mercilessly.
The watchman who is sleeping at a distant corner of the hostel suddenly gets up hearing the following words faintly .
"dei...kaalan kaarthaala boni pannum podhaavadhu sollittu adingadaa...dei..amma..ayyo..aathaaaa"

Chori Chori jab - PART 2

It is advisable to read part-1 before reading this. But even otherwise you are not missing much. As one friend rightly points out, the generic template for a gilma blog is

(i)Gin walks into R's room humming a song.. 
(ii) gives an idea to R.
(iii) when R executes it Gin is no where to be found. 
(iv) R screws up.
(v) Gin laughs his a** out.

Huh,I always thought my blog had a complicated structure, but hey, its afterall the five points listed  above. Five simple points. One after the other. Much like the Software development life cycle . 
Analyze->Design->Implement->Test->Curse_Your_manager. 
Its always the same and huh, why wouldn't people get bored doing the same thing.

That raises the question -- Is my pretty little blog dying? Well My answer: No folks, its certainly not dying, it just needs some dyeing - u know, to make it look ...say...for the lack of a better word...sexier! I am definitely not planning to add random nayanthara photos to the blog (btw,you can find better ones here: Random Nayanthara pics), but do something different. But that shall wait for a while. For now, lets finish of this lecture. It might appear in the final exam, so you guys better take notes!




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chori Chori Jab- PART 2
----------------------------------------


At the Pizza hut.

R has never entered a pizza hut before. He is just about to step in when he looks at a wierd looking bell hanging in front. Yes, its a hanging bell!!! The type that you probably last saw in a fifth grade tamizh text book where a cow (holy cow!) rings it standing in front of Manunidhi chozhan's palace because his son had run a chariot over the cow's kid and the cow who knew Manu granted justice to everyone irrespective of caste, creed, color, sex, orientation or the number of legs one had, walked swiftly with all four legs to the palace seeking justice for its case! (This also reminds the author of the brilliant king solomon who tricked the false mother who claimed for a baby by asking if it can be cut into two and divided between the mothers.  The false mother accepts while the true one does not.. and there you go, justice served and the world is at peace!!
How easy it would be if the terrorists were of the same intelligence as the false mother...anyway, no author sentiments allowed in the blog. so this will end here.)

'Oru velai bell adichittu dhaan ulla poganumo?' he thinks for a second. He decides to give it a gong when he suddenly finds someone from inside gongs it on the way out and he hears a group of people saying from inside 'thank you'.

'enna da idhu...kadaya vittu veliya pogum podhu bell adikaraanunga! ivanungala purinjikavey mudiyalayey... '




N shows a table and they get seated.


N is still seen yawning.


N: "sorry R, i am kinda feeling sleepy... adhanaala dhaan am yawning"
R: " cha cha... paravaalla N ... infact unna oru question kekatumaa?"
N: "?"
R: "nee yawn pannum podhu pakkathula irukaravangalum yawn pannuvaanga... adhu yen theriyumaa?"
N: "i don't know..some molecules some gas..some funda like that?"
R: "he he.."
N: "hey c'mon...tell me... naan studies la konch weak man"
R : "idhukku sanga thamizhla oru poem irukku... "
N: "what????"
R: "yawn petra inbam peruga ivvaiyagam"
N: "omg... man...you are hopeless"


'aah...enna ivalum hopeless ngra.. ayyo..mokka joke adikaradhu naaladhaano?.... control pannu da...control,CONTROL...indha situation la Gin irundhaa evlo gethaa handle pannuvaan...nee dhaan Gin nnu nenachikko... ippo continue pannu'

N: "ok R... am actually hungry... should we order?"
R: "of cors... orderadhunaalum ok ...paadaradhunaalum ok..he he..never mind...order pannu"
N: "hmm.... pick your choice... pizza or pasta?"
R: "he he...naan rajkiran fan N..so pizza vendaam..eppavumey pasta dhaan!"
N: "rajkiran ?? purila"
R :"rajkiran u don't know...avaru oru super duper old tamizh hero..."
N: "ok..so how does it matter?"
R: "simple... avaru films la ellar melayum avaru pasta apdiyey alli kottuvaaru...so adhaan naanum pasta order panna sonnen...ha ha"
N :"huh...i don't believe this....i just don't..unku moola kolmbi pochaa?"


'ayyayo... marubadiyum mokka vaangiteney..ponnungalukku pidicha maadhiri behave pannanumnu Gin sollirukaan...in his own words: one should try and be casual, ordinary , relaxed,  unusual, extraordinary and excited at the same time...aah..engayo idikudhey.. anyway... konja neram pesama irundhu paappom...'

R remains silent for the next ten minutes.

N: "enna R... silent a irka?"
R: "enakku enna pesaradhuney theriyala"
N: "nervous a irukka?"
R: "hmm..aamaam.."
N:"enna thangachi maadhiri nenchuko...ellam seri aaidum"
R: "cha cha...illa...actually nervous aa laam illa.. "
N: "appo thangachi vendaam... ha ha...apdi dhaaney?"
R :"enakku coffee venum...thala konjam lesaa valikudhu..inga kedaikuma?"
N: "we'll go to coffee day after this...pakathula dhaan"
R: "ahem...ok"
N: "unkku endha coffee romb pidikkum?"
R: "narasus...i mean..."
N: "wait wait wait....lemme guess..."
R: "appa...ok.."
N: "unku pudcha coffee....'mokka'chillo...ha ha ha...correct?"
R: "he he...yes..correct ...exactly!"


'idhu othu varra maadhiri theriyala...route change!'


R: "N...un hobbies enna?"
N: "enakku hobbies um kedayadhu hubby's um kedayadhu.. ha ha.. unna maadhiriyey pesarenaa ..ha ha"

R: "Er..yes ..but i mean...books laam padikka maatiyaa?"
N: "ha ha..i was just kidding...R..nee enna think pandrannu puriyudhu.. hubby yey illa ...epdi 'kid'ding nu dhaaney? ha ha"

'iva enna plan panni kavukkaraalaa? ...illa anju nimishathla namma apdi oru impression create pannitomaa??'


R: "he he"
N: "i love reading books actually.... my favorite author is Asimov.. have you read asimov.. padichirkiyaa?"
R: "Er..um..yes...of course...Asimov is my favorite too"
N: "wow...endha book unku romba pidikkum? i love 'Rest of the Robots'"
R: "wow..coincidence... enakkum 'Rest of the Robots' dhaan favorite"
N: "sooper... adhula unakku endha chapter romba pidikkum R?"

'pochu da.. sethen"

R: "ella chapter um..."
N:"hey c'mon... there must be some particualar scene or chapter that you would have loved..right"
R: "oh ... yes..."
N: "which one?"
R: "indha Robots laam oru thenna maram keezha ukkarndhu rest edukumey... the rest of the robots...andha chapter... he he"
N: "ha ha ha...man... u crack me up..u are such a ... ha ha"


R manages a few more mokkais from N in the next ten minutes and he decides to rush out of the place as soon as possible. R and N reach college and part ways after saying good bye. R goes straight to his hostel room , jumps onto his bed, burries his head into the pillow. He slowly drifts into sleep.
In his dreams appears the holy but familiar and magnetic face of Saint Gilmananda... The saint utters to him one dialogue that R never forgot in his life.

The exact words of Gilmanada were this.

"Maganey... Vaazhkayila oruthi ya pidichaalum worthy a pidikanum !"

Suddenly R wakes up and picks up his cellphone and messages something. We don't know what or whom he messaged, but the expert crew's best guess is this

"Hi P !!!"

Chori Chori jab - PART 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Gin walks into R's room on a lazy saturday morning singing "unmayil naanum yoggiyan dhaanadi unnai paarkumvarai.... ada minsaaram en meedhu paaigindradhey...." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmGSDytBBPk&feature=related) .

GAJA(to himself):"huh...crazy guys this college has got!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


R keeps on calling Gin for five minutes but gets the same message
"indha vaadikayaalar ungalai madhikkavillai !"

Twenty minutes later:

A beautiful girl walks up to R
"Excuse me... are you R?"

R: "wow..i mean...yes"

"I am Neha... nice to meet you" (Offers hand. A trembling handshake happens)

R: "hai Neha..."

N: "Hey dood... why don't we talk over a pizza...wat say?"

R: "pizza..oh adhuvaa...yeah...sure"

N: "enku pizza romb pidkoom .. unku?"

R: "wow...tamizhaaa ??..enakku tamizh ponnunga naa...i mean...pizza naa romba pidikkum!!!!!"

R: "epdi poganum unga...unakku?"

N: "ur call"

R: "ok...call taxi la yey polaam..costly dhaan..paravaalaa "


R sits near driver and keeps on discussing mileage of the call taxi, number of gears and other non-trivial stuff with the driver while N sits behind and yawns. After a 20 minutes drive to RS-puram, they finally reach Pizza hut!
