2007...a yr whic is at its death bed..
lemme recall my 2007..
JANUARY was the one month that brought me worst surprises..was very busy countin the back stabs by some of my close friends..lol!!
FEBRUARY was worser cos evry time some body or the other was reminding that we had jus few weeks for the board exam...but feb ended up emotionally with our farewell party!!!our spirits weren dampened by the so-called exam fever!!!
MARCH....the month of my board exams....hmm..sorry..i don remember wat happened then to be honest..bt i remember evrythn from march 20...12:45 PM...yeah........holidaaaaaaaaaaaaaysssss!!!
APRIL...hmm then i realised holidays are the worst part of anyones life...cos i was never allowed to roam outside...cos evryone looked me frm"ipodhaan-12th-mudichurka-nyaabagam vechuko-"perspective...life bcam hell..april bored me to death....
MAY...well..it begun well wit plans for my bday...but results came exactly the eve b4 ma bday which spoilt evrythn....well after that i dint kno wat i did apart frm feelin bad or cryin..lol!!
JUNE...hmm nothing much to say abt my june...was residin in ma frnds house during the days and returned home only for dinner...
JULY...this was slightly a consoling month...i had things to do..lik thinkin abt college..and finally gooin out with friends to movies and restaurants...
AUGUST...a month full of dreams,fantasies,fears,yeah....was thinkin hw my college life wud be...coudn imagine leavin my schoolmates and findin new mates...

this brought us all still closer enquirin abt marks and answers..lol..tat was the only postive point!
NOVEMBER...we started to comment each other..started to understand our staffs potentials..everythn was goin on fine wen the 2nd uts came...
DECEMBER....well..wat to say..had all the UTs spoilt the mood...but a 12 day holiday cheered up all of us...

MYSELF & TAMIL CINEMA!!
Well...a nice topic to discuss...
Start muzic(hee hee see the influence!!lol!)
First things first..
let me begin my list frm 1920-30..
*"kraadhgaa!chandaalaa!panjamaa paadhagaa!!!!"
recognise these words?????
yes!am talkin about those heroines of yesteryears....
kundavaais,mohanaas,rambaais,pushpaas.....ya those wer their names....
the thing is tat all the female characters of those movies look alike...
and their expressions...man!!!!full time comedy evn in the most horrifyin or sad scenes of the movies...
one cant find out whether they r laughin or cryin!!!!
hats off to them all!
*"anbe,kanne,kaniyamudhe!!!!!en sendruvittai selvame!!!!"
this must hit u somewer...come on!!
am talkin abt the heroes of 1920s and 30s..
the style gurus!!!
wit javaadhu(or watevr)bein applied...
kumkum on forehead..jippa..dhothi..
and....the funky JILPA THALAI!!!
these wer their style statements..
2days youth hav to be rewakened by singin"jilpa kaatungadaa"...wat a shame tat we forgot these forerunners of style!!?
*"ayya veetula amma sonnaanga naa PAGUDARU(adhaan pa powder!)pota romba alaaga irupenaam!"
recognize this person??
he is supposed to be the comedian of 1930s!!!!
wit none other than himself and his pair laughin on the screen..this man was cald the comedian!!!
he is mostly a mannaaru or singaaram...
wow!unforgettable ppl!!!!
then we come to 1950-75....
*"oh my darling latha!!naa un mela uyiraye vechurken!!!"
yes!!!the hero of 50s...mostly cald baskar or shankar...
a man wit dreams...
anger arises wenevr the villain kidnaps his ladylove or mother...
the actual comedian of an otherwise serious movie!!!
*"baskar!!!neengalaa ipdi..ennaala nambave mudila...inime en moonjilaye muzhikaadheenga!!!ayyo!!!"
this is the most famous dialogue delivered by those lathas,malathis and geethas of 5os....
the heriones(cald so!!)of those movies..
wit wrapover sarees..
mountain-lik wigs on head..
lips glossin always....
eyes wit battin eyelashes..
teeth always visible!!!!
beauties of 50s.....
*"hmm(roar)...vaa...un kathalukkelaam naa bayapada maaten..enga ayya paatha sandhoshapaduvaaru(drags the heroine)"
yes...i am talkin abt the JAMBU or MAYAANDI or MALAIYAPPAN...
the most famous adiaal...
the most faithful person...
kidnaps evn the ugliest herione if he is supposed to!!!
the man of power!!!!!
*"darling yaaru ivan...inga enna panra?"
JALAJA...the "set-up" of the villain..
glamourous..
seems cruel..
ultimately helps the hero(cos she always seems to hav a soft corner towards him!lol!)
then came the most famous goundamani-senthil duo...
the best comedy anyone can give!!!!
they started the business of changin the way ppl speak...
"naaye,muttagose thalaya,nari moonji,odi poidu,kadichupuduven,penaathaadha"etc..etc.. came into usage..and is still bein used...
legends of comedy....
80s was a period of stereo type heroes playin angry young men..
heroines wer glam dolls runnin aroun the trees wit the heroes...
nothin much was attractive..
but tat was the time feel-good movies started to sprout......
from 80s..till date..
my all time favourite is RAJINIKANTH....THALAIVAR...
man of style...
man of the ppl!!!!!
he is btr knon as SUPER STAR!!!
man......he rocks always...
then comes KAMALHASSAN...
the abode of talents...
unlucky star wit extremely gr8 potentials...
though he doesn hav a good reach wich he deserves hes always listed in the golden page of tamil history!!!
tamil cinema then had various characters wich started to become unique in their own way....
but suddenly a new trend of KUTHU songs and punch dialogues has arrived...it is spoilin the creativity and is considered to be the only flaw of the present tamil cinema..
everyone wants to mak a rajini outta themselves...
but they r endin up to bcom another ramarajan ultimately!!!!!!
the other notable personalities in tamil cinema who hav always made me laugh:
vijaya.t.r
ramarajan
pandian(pothivecha malliga mottu fame)
rajkiran
sudhakar
radhika(earliest part of her career)
mr.shivaji ganeshan(though hes a gr8 actor...he gets 90rs and acts for 900000000000000000000000000000000rs)
gemini ganeshan(kaadhal mannan hee hee)
k.r.vijaya(ultimate comedian)
kamala kaamesh(the lean lady always comin as a poor amma)
visu(the reformer!!!hee hee)
the list goes on......................
ultimately the best entertainment for any tamilian...TAMIL CINEMA!!!!!

THRU THE EYES OF MY COLLEGE BUS...
Here i am to see the birth of today,
In the college bus early in the morning.
The world wakes up after the night's slay,
and i can hear the little birds sing.
The bus opens its window eyes
and i see the morning world.
This experience is really nice
the weather is mild or sometimes cold!
Beggars on the platform seem to be the happiest of all,
sleeping or loitering without any worry.
Professionals drive vehicles attending urgent call,
while tea-stalls and hotels freshly make curry!
Office-goers wait in the traffic signal,hissing
old people wait there talking about the young.
The corner of the road is filled with the passerby s pissing
and waiting in that stink takes air out of my lung!
Then i see some workers getting ready for a hard day
and think ask myself...how am i prepared to face..
The trees,meadows,garbage,poles all move away,
as i remember that i forgot my drawing case!
All beside me were sleeping,missing the lesson of life,
which i see thru the eyes of my college bus.
Everyone in this world are getting ready to face the strife,
but all we do is to talk,eat,sleep and fuss!
I understood that life is not at all permanent
just like the view of moving trees from the bus.
The world i live in is rough and competent,
I need to come out of this present mess!!!

THOSE NAUGHTY DAYS................
we have done a lot of naughty deeds.
We never wanted each of us to forget ourselves
nor the school should throw us out lik weeds!
So to create a history in the school
we did a lot of crazy things.
The school responded too violently
and sent us home..we marched out lik kings!
Making noises inside the classrooms,
talkin within ourselves without minding the teachers,
making everyone a fool by pulling their legs
we were all named by the school as mischief makers.
Then came the final working day,when we never wanted to leave
So as a remembrance,we wrote our names all over the school!
The teachers wennt mand and wanted us to clean everything
we had written our name everywhere not even leaving a stool!
The exams were stopped and we set out to work
taking blades,scales and water
not mindind whatever was the matter.
Atleast now the school couldn't 4get us for the work we had done
and the teachers scolded us to be the worst set of rogues..not students!
We were all really respecting everyone but wanted toi make things funny
The school will understand the fun behind these when we all bcum eminent!
[p.s.......the sir on the pic is our bio master and he nevr knew we took this pic!!!hee hee]

MY SCHOOL DAYS...(A LONG..YET SHORT JOURNEY OF 14 YRS!!)
is not in my memory now.
But the last day we were together
will never be forgotten somehow.
"FRIENDS"was the word we called ourselves.
But we were the family for us.
Danced and sung in the classrooms
Chatted in the school bus.
Ate food all the time except lunch!
Did all the homeworks then
We never got caught in the class even if we munch
and never gave back a borrowed pen!
We even made each other cry and shed tears
We ourselves consoled and made them smile
We disclosed within ourselves our worst fears
and considered strict classes as our jail.
We never thought of the future and of the past
but only of that day and that moment
But the school days have movd very fast
in which we played lots of truant.
On the farewell day,"BYE"we would say
We can say so but we wont get away!

THE WORLD BLINDFOLDED!!!!
Suddenly a voice called.."hello white chudidhaar"..i turned back and saw a hefty lady(ena make up!!)..holdin her shoulder was a blind woman..tat lady called me and said"edho venkateshwara school poganumaam,enaku time ila.nee kootindu poyen(edho naa ivaluku vecha aal maadhri!)"...i jus felt my anger leave the surface..but i controlled it and said"ok no probs!"(mechanical recordu???paravaala paathukalaam!)...
tat blind woman came near me and held my shoulder..i cud feel her tension...left alone in darkness jus with the name of the place....not bein able to see...full of anxiety...she started talkin to me..."amma indha venkateshwara school poganum ma.."..i got perplexed...cos i dint kno the place(cha sodhapitiye!)..i jus did not wanna say tat and disappoint her...
i was thinkin wat next wen a small girl came runnin,draggin another blind woman....she came near me and said"akka!ivangalukum kannu theriyaadhu..rendu perum ore edathuku dhaan poganum..neengale vitudungalen..".she said so and left the place..i felt odd....standin there with 2 ppl who cant see but can say abt the direction of the place(yappa..kanna kattudhe!)..after tat...there was somethin new i came across....yes..their conversation...
lady who was wit me:(touchin the other blind woman)"neengalum angadhaan poreengalaa?unga per enna?"
the other lady:"aamaanga naa kooda angadhaan poren...en per rani"
lady1:"oh neenga rani ya?endha oor rani?"
lady2:"endha oor raniya irundha enna?kuruttu raniya poitene!seri namma rendu perum indha madam(naadhaan!) ah pidichukalaam"
they held both my hands and i was walkin in some way i dint kno!!!
lady1:"ungalukku pasanga irukaangala?"
lady 2:"haan oru payyan...nallaa pesuvaan..nammalaala kekadhaana mudiyum!aamaa ungalukku?"
lady1:"aamaan oru payyan irukkan..aana marumaga thorathivitutaama..purushan irukkaara?"
lady2:"irukaaru irukaaru..naadhaan avaruku baaramaa iruken!romba kashtapadarom..adhaan arisi tharaanga nu kelvi patu inga vandhen..indha 3 kilo arisila kudumbatha otalaamnu!"
lady1:"enaku purushan illa maa kadavul kondupoitaaru!enna panradhu..en thala ezhuthu..seri saapatuku kashtapatundhen..naanum arisi vaangalaamnu vandhen!"
till this i was listenin...i wanted to join them too...so i entered into their conversation...
"en ga..venkateshwara school dhaana sonnenga?enga iruku nu oru idea irukka?(adhuku mela poga therila!)
lady 2:"market kulla poganum nu sonnaanga madam(!)"
myself:"ayo!market ah.....adhu opposite side la irukku..naama indha side vandhutom..seri thirumbunga apdi polaam...(cha..enna koduma sir idhu...kevalama poche!)"
lady1:"sorry nga..engalaala ungalukku shramam....enna panradhu..indha madhri help dhaan enga la iruka vekudhu...enga stick dhaanga enga kannu..aana paarunga adhuku vazhi theriyaadhe!(ivanga kooda mokka podraangale!)"
Both of them were laughing and talkin abt wat all they expect to get in their present destination...i was muted by their sense of humour,happiness,satisfaction and view abt life(though they cant see!).....
their destination came and i left them saying.."paathu ponga"
cha....wat an ironical phrase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BHARATHI AND ME
NALLADHOR VEENAI SEYDHE -ADHAI
NALAM KEDA PUZHUDHIYIL ERIVADHUNDO?
SOLLADEE SHIVA SHAKTHI..ENNAI
SUDARMIGU ARIVUDAN PADAITHUVITTAI(why throw a beautifully made veena in dust as an useless crap...say..o!goddess!u hav created me jus lik tat!)
Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi has always been my guide,friend,philosopher,guru,role model....anything..and everything!He has written his instructions and suggestions to me years before!I can feel him and his words in everything happening to me!......
I wanna be a bharathi in questionin the wrong-doers ...i wanna be a bharathi in inspiring people...i wanna be a bharthi in writin down my revolutionary ideas...i wanna be a bharathi in helpin others...i wanna be a bharthi in intelligence...i wanna be a bharthi in boldness....in short..i wanna be as multi-faceted as he is!!!i feel him inside me but refusing to come out...jus cos of the fear about life...fear abt society...
Goin against a powerful group ruins self these days...this stopped me frm lettin my bharathi out...
Now i kno y he said..
NALLADHOR VEENAI SEYDHE-ADHAI
NALAM KEDA PUZHUDHIYIL ERIVADHUNDO?...............
See how far-sighted he is!!!!he said
KASI NAGARA PULAVAR PESUM URAIDHAAN
KAANCHIYIL KETPADHARKOR KARUVI SEYVOM(let us invent a device enablin the people in kanchi to listen the speech given by a poet in kasi)
And...a radio was discovered!!!!now not only frm kasi...we can listen frm any damn place and see the happenings even!
His motivations to the youngsters are thru numerous poems...it jus kindles the spirit of the youth...
But...how many of them are readin bharthi these days....
Hmm....very few....I feel bharthi must be made a compulsory-read..
Atleast then we can expect sum youngsters to turn responsible towards the society..
Here he calls them..
OLI PADAYTHA KANNINAAI VA VA VA;
URUDHI KONDA NENJINAAI VA VA VA....
DEVELOPMENT OF A LANGUAGE...
Exactly 17 yrs ago...a cute baby was born in Joseph nursin home,tambaram..(naadhaan naadhaan!!).As soon as i was born i certainly wud hav recognised my mom...and can u name the language with which i communicated with her?All my relatives wud hav come to see me!!!can u jus think of a language in which i wud hav thot""yaar ivanga?"...hmm...difficult na?!Then...i started to grow...my eyes and ears opened up...i started to invent my own language...even now my mother recalls"nee ukaaru nu solradhuku ABHAYA nu solva!".Then i started to observe...my parents spoke tamil,brother spoke tamil,so i learnt tamil!!!i started talkin tamil lik..."amma thaachi..amma thooki.."Tat was called as my mother tongue and so it became my mother tongue!Finally i spoke tamil..."I"i began....(dunno where i wil end up!!!)Then came the age of schooling....i was pushed into my school..where teachers talked in a then new language..english(dhorai engleesu ellam pesudhu!)I had to learn it as a medium of communication...and my journey in english began "ma'm...... scale asked science ma'm!"
"escuse mee ma'm"
"goooooooood marrrrrrrrrneeeeeng maaaa'm!"
"ma'm see this sakthi vel is killifyin me...!"etc..
shhhhhhhhh.....i had to learn english...had to mug up rhymes...multipication tables(one one is one,two onezaar two{adhaan two ones are 2!}and so on....)
finally i came to a stage when i can understand and speak english to some extent....
My god........i had to toil hard to learn these....and my teachers also had to!
But...........these languages became fluent in practise...and my very first language got lost amidst these...
yes..the medium of communication between me and my mom....the only language a life knew when it enters into the earth......
THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE!!!!!
God expected the life on earth to pass on this valuable gift along with man's innovative languages(lik tamil,english etc.......)
But finally his purpose got defeated....No one in this world today are speakin this language of love...Noone is worried abt others...No concern is witnessed...
Without that primitive and basic language..a man is equivalent to an animal which doesnt know the innovative languages...
Seein a boy leavin his old parents in an oldage home, i felt sad!!!But wat abt him?!He went out happier after leavin them!!!!!(bhaaram koranjuduchaam!)
Seein an old man fall ,i went and held him....others wer watchin my act lik a football match..
wats goin on...wat happened to ppl?wat made them forget their very first language?
i was thinkin.........................am thinkin..................wil be thinkin!!!!!!!!!!!!
cos....some questions are to be realised...not answered!!!!
