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"

Gin: "aagattum arasey"

R: "arumai arumai.... en kavidhai varigalil mayangi vizhundhirupaaley andha mangai.."

R: "avamaanam"

R: "kevalam"

Gin: "ammayarkkum anuppum olaiyodu serthu thozhigalukkum pura moolam olai anupuvadhai ammayar kandu pidithu vitaaraagalaam manna"

thaangal summa irundhadhu yen endru kobithu kolgiraargal arasey"

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 !!!"

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: "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!
