Smart!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couple of weeks back we had given an ad in The Hindu regarding purchase of property. We were receiving calls but none of it proved to be fruitful. The next day one gentleman called and enquired aathu if it was the number as given in the ad...
Aathu : yes sollunga
G : Veedu 1/2 or one ground ketruntheenga sir antha ad la
A : Aamam sir sollunga.
G : Enna range la paakkareenga, car parking venuma
A : Car parking iruntha better, unga kitta veedu irukka, neenga land-owner or broker aa?
G : Illa sir actual ah naanum veedu thedindu irukken, unga ad paarthen, ungalukku neraiya calls vanthurukkum illaiya, response eppadi vanthathu? ungalukku seripadaathathu or ethanum nalla deal which u cannot pursue irunthaaa konjam enakku solreengala
A : grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (face pakkanume) Illa sir onnum solraa maathiri illa.
G : Ok sir ennoda number store pannikkonga , ethanum irunthaa sollunga thanks.
Would have given hundred million dollars just for the look :)

Karthigai Deepam

Today was like any other ordinary day.. Nothing to do much. My aathukaarar is not in town, so didn't feel like doing anything. Athukkaga avar irunthaa mattum ethuvum pannamaatten...( He is relieved from the so-called bakshanam pack from Sri krishna sweets).

All those packs are marketing gimmicks with age-old seedai and murukku and so called neivedhyam items packed long before. All new-x - gen ladies like me (simply called somberis) buy those things and pretend to celebrate the festivals. From deepavali onwards i realised that nothing can beat the home-prepared payasam and vadai and kesari and all stuffs . The preparation , well begins the previous day with downloaded and cook-book recipes. Choosing the best and convenient among them. So far everything turned out good except for the kesari which i tried for nonbu... Never mind can always improve as long as my aathukarar is there for experimentation. Paavam manushan , never he complains....Vera vazhi illa athu vera vishayam..


Now Grand sweets also jumped into the wagon - pre-packed bakshanam specials.. Havent tried yet.....

Todays karthigai was celebrated cave man way with bananaas and apples...........
