AIDS?!? Cha!!!

the first, introductory paragraphs are so stupid..

SCENE: a family of four(lets say H,W,S,D for Husband, Wife, Son and Daughter) are all set to watch "alive coffee with anu" on vijay tv (The special guests being Mrs & Mr.Vishwanath Anand). but as usual H and S watch the stupid cricket match on set max.

a snippet of their discussion:

(W and D are furious)

W: andha coffe with anu podungalen.. indha loose match la enna iruku nu ipdi rendu perum paakareenga?

D (to H) : appa adha vei pa.. indha mandhira bedi a unakku paakanuma??

W: adhula vishwanath anandh varaan, naa paakanum. andha ad laye avan nanna irundhan. avan shirt kooda amazing.

H: konja neram rendu perum vaaya moodrela. we want to see this match. adhula ad potundu irukaan.. paaru!

( H switches the channel to Vijay tv and sees anu talking to vishwanath anandh.. H and S ku ore bulb)

W: evlo chinna paiyan madhri irukkan paaru

(in tv..)

anu: neenga ippo UNAIDS ku ambassador a vera irukinga, so can you just explain us about your role in this moble cause? neenga paatheenga na eppo lam tv la AIDS pathi sonnalum, channel a change panniduvaanga....

anandh: definitely, i think its important to talk about it with your family.....

( H switches the channel to that stupid match again)

W: yen adha maathinel? adha vaingo..

D: vai appa...

( S as usual remains silent)

W: unga appa eppavum ipdi dhaan pannuva..

H ( furiously) : avan AIDS pathi solraan.. unakku adha paakanuma??

W: aama.. enakku paakanum..
H: naa vekka maaten..

( and the discussion goes on..)

SCENE ENDS

well.. this may be an inspiration from he-she of ferrari, but i'm sure this kind of incidents do happen in everyday life.

what do you think about H.. male chauvinism, ignorance, shyness?.... I call it stupidity.

I really appreciated the move by Vijay tv for inviting anandh and to talk about this social cause.

i feel it is very important for people to talk about it. Especially with the growing HIV+ people in this country.. why don't people grow up?

Famous personalities are roped in as ambassadors for people to listen to them on important issues. But if this is the kind of attitude among people, then all the efforts taken up by these organisations are an absolute waste..

I've had enough!

new york nagaram lyrics - for those who kill the lyrics!
please learn the song before you sing..

new york nagaram urangum neram
thanimai adardhadhu paniyum padarndhadhu
kappal irangiye katrum karaiyil nadandhadhu
naangu kannadi chuvargalukkulle naanum mezhuguvathiyum
thanimai thanimaiyokodumai kodumaiyo

pechellam thaalatu pola ennai uranga vaika nee illai
dhinamum oru mutham thandhu kaalai coffee kodukka nee illai
vizhiyil vizhum dhoosi thannai naaval edukka nee ingu illai
manadhil ezhum kuzhappam thannai theerka nee inge illai
naan inge neeyum ange
indha thanimaiyil nimishangal varusham aanadheno
vaan inge neelam ange
indha uvamaiku iruvarum vilakkamaan dheno(new york)
natkurippil nooru tharavai undhan peyarai ezhudhum en pena
ezhudhiyadhum erumbu moika peyarum aanadhenna thena
jill endru boomi irndhum indha tharunathil kulir kaalam kodai aanadheno
vaa anbe neeyum vandhal
sendhanal kooda pani katti pole maarum yeno(new york)

the best part of the song according to me is the humming at the beginning.. arr rocks!!
well.. about the picturisation.. i'm pity arr! :)

THE college.. "M.O.P"

I don't think any other college can get as crazy as mine..
The M.O.P.College for Women.
It definitely gives an extra ordinary exposure to each and every student, but the co ordination among the staff is pathetic. today(think on 7th of october), we were supposed to get our law marks and ended up waiting for 3 whole hours for a small clarification!!
apparently, our law sir had lost around half of our assignments and surusuppa gave the job of marking to another lecturer. And that ma'am had marked the missing ones as zero on ten.And therefore our marks were drastically reduced. And unfortunately I was one among them :(
The best part was how our law sir marked each of us for those 10 marks. He initially said he would conduct a viva and then mark us based on our performance in the viva.. the what!!!!!!! was our reaction (obviously!.. none of us knew a bit of our syllabus)
After much pleading by other section, he finally agreed to mark us based on our face(?)... yeah i am right.. based on our face!!!
He saw each of our's face and marked us for those ten marks..but later changed his mind and marked us based on our internal marks.. (phew!!)anyways, finally i got 9 on 10 :))
heights of nonsense!!!!! i just hope that the same doesn't happen with my semester exam!!
who knows how'll he mark us if he lost our sem papers. Keeping my fingers crossed

Dinner at Vasantha Bhavan

Mylaporeans will be in a position to understand the last two words, i hope.
Last night i, along with my dad, had dinner at that very place.
and everything turned out just like i expected on a holiday ( being the 137th birthday of the Mahatma)

nothing can be more intersting than watching the fellow mylaporeans storming into
a long, rectangular building(well, thats vasantha bhavan precisely).
watching people and the way they are in public has been one of my favourite pass times for long. and come navarathri, i got to see such unique people making me wonder why at all i know such "things"

well, coming back to my "experience" in Vasantha Bhavan, i did see some usual and
unusual stuff happening there. Being a national holiday, obviously there was a
mad rush of mad people.
the most interesting person there was the manager who in his desperate attempt to satisfy his customers, had a tiff with my dad ( the usual stuff that happens everytime i have dinner with my dad!!). But the worst part was that, there were atleast 3 people taking orders from us. reminds me of the principle of unity of command!! :p

some of the "interesting" things that happened there:
1. a drunkard sat next to my table and had his.. err.. dinner
2. an old couple had "idlis" with tearful eyes.
3. a newly wed couple sporting why-the-hell-we-came-here look on their faces.
4. a group of college students made a hell of a noise and a mylai maami frowning
at them each time they made some noise.
5. a family of 8(?!) on a look out for an empty table to seat themselves and
their HUGE bags. (probably they just finished their "shopping")
6. and as usual, i didn't eat what i wanted to and had to depend on the suggestions by the waiter, which as usual was idly and dosa.
well, i still dunno why i put such a post today.
maybe it was just a humble attempt to explore the REAL mylapore!! :p
