Scene - 1
Aathukarar as usual coming late due to year-ending (illenna mattum seekirama vanthuduvar). So, P and me were having our usual bed-time talks. He was trying to take out my bindi and we were constantly battling.. Suddenly he remembered his father was not yet home (eppayanumthaan thonum pola irukku) and asked me the reason, i said he was having work.
P : Appa enna vela seiyarar.
Me: Appa is a business man.
P : Seri enna business.
Me : Solution Provider and Networking.(Jus wanted to put the terms into his mind)
P : (onnum puriyala still thalaya aattinan) seri nee enaa panra.
Me : Unakku theriyume annaikku periyappa kitta sonniye sollu.
P : Mother
Me : Athuvum correct thaaan. Aanaa appappo velainnu etho panren.
P : (thinking loudly) haaan Chartered Accountant thaane.
Me : wow super correct ah sonniye (appadi padicha padippu veen pogala, unakku therinjirukku)
P : Seri maaa, nee enna athu solllu.
Me: (onnum puriyala, ithu ennada bayangara insult ah irukke) Athaan sonniye da
P : illamaa nee doctor ah illa nurse ah illa fire fighter ah ethu sollu.
Me : (ada raama) dei naan Chartered Accountant daa, nee sonnathellam kedaiyathu, athellam vera, ennodathu vera velai.
P : serimaa nee enna velai pannuva sollu.
Me : Hmm. Naan accounts .. hmm seri ellarum correct ah selavu panraangala, ozhunga panam vechirukkangalaannu check pannuven.
P : oh appadiya, seriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (periya seri pottuttu) nee enna athu solluma doctor ah nurse ah ...(continuation)

Scene - 2
Aathukarar was working on his laptop sincerely. I was in the kitchen.
P called him once "dei". Aathukarar kaathula vizhala. Again called him"dei"
Ippo he heard it and said with a long face , "Ennathu enna sonna"
"Illa ppaa naan unna daddynnu sonnen unakku seriya kekkala"
Scene - 3
Bil with family came to our house. He has got a kid one year elder to P - V.
We were asking V, about his favourite hero and heroine. Pat came the reply as Vijay(ella kozhanthaigalukkume irrespective ah nalla taste eh illa incl P). So, when provoked him abt heroine, he hesitantly said it was " Shreya" (First time he is coming out it seems). P never answers the question about heroine and would say enakku yaraiume pidikkathu, Vijay thavirannu. On that day, when we asked him again the same question, he came up with instant answer...
"Enakku entha hero and heroine pidikkumnu sollava - batman and batwoman"
Onnum vaya thorakka mudiyala, ellarum bayangara vevaramaathaan irukkanga.

Marina vum bessie um
Aathukarar all of a sudden gave a shock yesterday. He called up around 6.30 and said he was starting within 10 minutes and asked me, "engeyanum veliya polaamaaa?" nnu. Intha shockla irunthu veliya vararthukke it took some 2-3 minutes. Pinna year-ending athuvumaa daily 10.30 kku koraiyaama , athuvum three gunny bags full ah files kondu vara manushan, thideernu 6.30 kku , iam starting nnu call panna, heart-attack varaathaaa? It was like Vijay and Vishal saying " we are quitting films". hehehehe....
But naanga rombavum vevaramaanavanga illa, 10 min appadinna min 1 hr nnu theriyum, so went ahead with dinner for P and time 7.45 aachu. So, chumma gave a call to aathukar. He said, " illa got held-up in a clearing issue, so wud start within next 15 min at the maximum nnu sonnar"
By the time, he came home it was 8.15 , so veliya pora plan avvalavuthaan nnu nenachu, we were just talking and having fun with P.
Thideernu, he made an improptu decision. Just we will go for a ridennu, started around 9.00pm. The roads were almost empty and there was not much traffic due to the weekend scenario, i suppose. Or else, ist due to the ongoing board exams or IPL. Either way, it was a pleasant ride.
And P was asking, engeppa porom - Landmark-ah, Lifestyle, big bazaar engeppa , solluppa. When we took the Jawaharlal nehru inner ring road, the road which leads to doctors place, he got suspicious. " Doctor veetukku thaane". Illa da just like that chummannu explain pannittu we were discussing all-along engennu.
After reaching kathipara, suddenly decided to go ahead with Bessie. And the time was 9.30pm.
Going to beach at that time is not-at-all new to us. When i had P, we were in triplicane, so would daily go to beach at that time only. We would go there around 9.00 and would return by 10.30.
It would give such a peaceful ness to see the beach at that time without the maddening crowd and the scarce traffic with just one or two maanga kadai. Even they would be winding up for the day. The merry-go-round wala would strive hard to just pull the vehicle out of the sand into the road by placing the planks at the wheels one-by-one. Atha paakarche rombavum kashtama irukkum. And for all these hard labour in getting it in and out everyday, he would get just mere Rs.10 per ride . The pattani sundal paiyan would be counting his days earnings and u can always see million thoughts going on in his mind about the expenditures and the next day. Then not to leave behind the traffic police-men and the guard at duty at the beach. The look on their face about the loved ones would be clearly visible from their face when they see a happy family with kids around playing in the platform.
The time period , iam talking about is around 6 years back and the beautification project hasnt begun then.
All these thoughts came circling around once we reached the beach and this time it was not marina but bessie. The difference between the two is that you feel at home when u sit at the pathway in bessie and it would give a closed and secured atmosphere unlike marina where u would feel like u have been left alone in an open place.
There were still people hanging out there at the time of 10.00 even. One big family had come there with the kattu satham but in big round tupperwares (shows they are well-to do) and paper plates and were having dinner. And elderly couples whose daughter or son would be in US or UK were just animatedly engrossed in their talk. Ist satisfaction of realising their dreams or yearning for the loved ones - iam not able to clearly decipher their expressions from the face. Then newly married ones, bunch of friends, young girls going for a walk all in the way talking in their earphones.
P who was sleepy all the way got energised once we parked the car and was literally running along the raised path-way. Once he saw all those shops he said "amma pasikkardhu" . Ennada venumnu ketta, "ice-cream". And me being me, at first refused. Ippavaa, athuvum at 10.00 in the night. Then , P being P was stubborn enough as he got a back-up in his father.
Seri all things, once in a while thaane nnu nenacha, we all went to the arun parlour there. So, once for all calories , sinusitis, cold cough pathi ellam kavala padaama generously indulged ourselves with three big scoops. Engala paatha vodane he took a big bowl and served us with biggggg scoops (chumma illa Rs.200/-). Aathukarar was taken away by the name fruit salad and ordered one for himself with helpings of raisins and nuts. Saaptutu , emaathitaney fruit saladnnu ithukku naan pakkathu kadai cone ice-cream eh saaptrupenennu polambal vearai. P had chocolate ice-cream and half-way through avanukku paasam romba vanthuduthu. Amma, chella ammathane nee saapdu, appa unakku venumaannu ore ubacharamthaaan. When we refused (he strictly doesnt like to waste, some-body should complete avana poruthavaraikkum), he countered us saying, unakku chocolate mattum pidikkum illa, naan saapta keppiye, intha ice-cream saapdu nalla irukkumnu.
So oru vazhiya, finish panni, both father and son were playing in the sands - vera enna odi-pidichu thaaaan. And after that we sat for a while in the raised thinnai :) . It was just a nice and calm feeling . Chumma vedikka paarthunde okkararthum thani anubavam thaan illa.
Since the clock started to tick away to 11.00 , thought ithukku mela vendamnu decide panni we started back home. We decided to take many more of these visits in the future. (paarkalaam entha alavukku nadakka porathunnu)

Naan pogiren..
Some songs just keep on coming to your mind and these are called one-song wonders. Cos the movie wouldn’t be a hit one and other songs worth not mentioning.
One such song is from movie “ Nanayam”. Beautiful rendition by SPB and Chithra. They make amazing combo and complement each other rather stupendously.
Cinematography – I like in this song very much, the colours they use and the angles and the over all visuals - just beautiful. They could have done better choreography to make a long lasting visual impact. U would love to hear the song but the choreography makes you to change the channel.
The lyrics are worth mentioning. I googled for the lyric writer and was surprised to find Thamarai’s name again. She is really like a fresh breeze bringing new dimensions to the love songs without compromising. (and no English words too)(especially from a girls point of view)
Heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDAcgapHPws&feature=related
And the lyrics…
naan pogiren meley meley
boolagamey kaalin kezhey
vin meengalin kootam en meley
poo vaaliyin neerai poley
nee sindhinaai endhan meley
naan pookiren panner poo poley
thadumari ponen andrey
unnai paartha neram
adayalam illa ondrai
kanden nenjin oram
yen unnai paarthen endrey
ullam kelvi ketkum
aanalum nenjam andha nerathainesikkum
kannadi munne nindrey thaniyaaga naan pesa
yaarenum jannal thaandi paarthaal ayyo
ul pakkam thaazppaal pottum arayinul nee vandhaai
kai neeti thottu paarthen kaatrai ayyom
en veetil neeyum vandhu serum kaalam ekkalam
poo maalai seidhey vaaduthey
en methai thedum porvai yaavum selai aagadho
vaaradho annalum indrey haan
en thookam vendum endraai thara matten endraney
kanavennum kalla saavi kondey vandhaai
vaarthaigal thedi thedi naan pesi paartheney
mounathil pesum vithai neethaan thanthaai.

Todays Prediction
"Capricorn (12/22-1/19)
You're doing your best to navigate an emotional minefield blindfolded. No one -- absolutely no one -- seems willing to guide you. But you don't need them. Distract yourself any way you can. Try to remember that time really does heal all wounds, and that you have your own life to live. In other words, make your plans with confidence. Your loved ones will get over it. Or not. Either way, remember you can only do so much and move on. "
Courtesy - My Yahoo.
How true. Iam waging a war inside me and it just tears me apart. Wish i had not expressed myself so bluntly but still it hurts when you come to know that you are not understood properly.

Happy Days
I know its relatively old telugu movie. But, cannot take it out of my mind from last December. I mean i saw this movie at my fathers place with my cousins , brother and sister. Full movie was stored in the system and i saw it without break and without any interference from P (he was playing with his friend B).
Awesome!!! This is the word i get after watching the movie. Beautiful feel good movie and everyone watching would love to experience something like that and definitely would carry backwards towards your college/school life. I watched the whole movie with a huge smile plastered on my face, such is the impact i say.
I especially liked the character (oops forgot his name) who goes behind his senior, and the way he pronounces her name "shravanthi". Its just cute.
And the songs too are so good. Hardly 3 songs in the movie and "Are re" song is the one which often gets repeated like that of vikraman movies with S.A.Rajkumar music. Enakku theriyum ithu oru mattamaana comparison nnu bt to more emphasise on the positive aspect u need to compare with worst.
Do watch the movie and you would really love it.
(Oru concept thaan idikkarthu , why the gang members should always be paired with one another and cant atleast a couple remain friends - still its good watching :)))))))))))) )
My current playlist comprises the songs from this movie only.

Boohoo..Iam elated
After a very long time, went to music academy. For my first experience - http://oreponnu.blogspot.com/2009/01/sweet-memories-i.html. This one was my second to the academy.The occasion itself was very special cos P’s dance school had organized for a show , showcasing the students performance as a group. Wowww…..We had a memorable evening. It’s a long time since we watched a show (pls don’t count the annual day functions in the school, they are different in the sense they highlight few students)
This program had performances of all the age groups – say from 3 to 40 . Yes, iam serious even non-professionals , I mean assorted group comprising of working professionals and house-wives too gave the performance.
First of all it was chaos all along till the beginning of the show. Chaos, because, P alone didn’t get his costume among the group of 15 children. Enn appadinna, the costume was a one piece with a long zip al a superman costume with red cape, and a golden belt.
P kku just chest varaikkum thaan original costume vanthathu, after that it didn’t go up at all, apparam thane kaiya ulla nolaikkarthu….. So, gave it back to them and asked them to re-stitch. And the staff there was confident that the costume would be set right by the tailor, “ madam costume eh porala apparam engernthu maaa atha adjust panna mudiyumaa “ nna, she said, “madam avar ottu thuni pottu atha seri panniduvarr” nnu sonna. Naaan aadi poitten. Hello, u have collected Rs.700 for the costume and that too 3 months back , so please enakku ottu thuni ellam vendam, I want it fresh nnu solli, pls take the measurement againnu oru 2days follow pannathula, costume atlast came on the morning of the show.
Ithula enna kodumainna, porala porala nnu solrennu, oru tent sizekku thachi kuduthutaaangaa. Its, okay, atleast we can adjust, nnu nenachu, we all started from home.
Now, the next stop was the “Green trends” parlour. They had instructed for gelled hair with spikes and make-up with gold glitter. Now, the make-up started.
First, he made him to sit in a chair.
“Uncle enna panna poreenga, oosi poda maatteeengale” ( Antha tonsils operation la irunthu he is little scared)
Next, he sprayed some water (from a sprayer called H2O) on the face.
“Uncle, naan kaarthaleye kulichitteen , moonjum alambinten, en enmela thanni kotreenga.” Amma, aanaalum rumba jolly ya irukku,
Now, he applied some foundation by applying in the form of dots all over the face.
“ Amma, nee ippadi thane veetla pottuppaa”
(Actually it was in the gents section and there came a wave of laughter at this question, maaname pochu)
Ippo he applied some lip gloss and the gold glitter.
“ Amma nee ithellam vechirukkiyaaa, unkitta aana ithu illaiye”
Oru vazhiyaaa, ella maanamum Green trends laye vittachaannu orutharam check panniitu velila vanthaaa, bill was around Rs.1000.
Have a nice day madam nu wish vera ithulaaa .
Amidst all the confusion regarding the traffic change due to the opening of the secretariat and the arrival of Singh sir and Sonia Madam (nalla naaal choose pannanga paa, they say Dravidian party nnu but they didn’t want to choose panguni and so they chose this day nnu nenaikkaren)
Oru vazhiyaaa, they took him and all the children inside before-hand for the rehearsal, and said “ we would take care, plz don’t worry”.
As usual, aathukarar ah anaathaiyaa thambi kooda vittuttu went for arattai kacheri with fellow mommies. Vera enna, all national importance issues like which movie we did watch, and how we would be watching the movies, (esp in drive-in theatres ) ithula padam paarkavaa theatre poneengannu oru nakkalaana kelvi vera . Namba mattum salachavangala , ithellam explicit ah solluvaangalaaannu samalichittom illa.
Now, the major part – Performance – Awesome it was. Really watching all those kutti kutties dancing especially was beautiful. And not to leave behind the choreographers and the organizers. That too choreographing for the kids and making them dance for the beats – really a tough task – it was brilliant , I should say. Kudos to them. And the dance company was “ The Swingers”. It was really breath taking.
Also, the performances by the level two children and the adults – non-professionals and the professionals were superb. The choice of the songs and the concept they had taken for various sequences were just wonderful.
Grooming kids performances covered songs like superman, fantasy , in the sea etc
There was a performance depicting a night in the museum and it was spectacular. Movements and the foot taping numbers really made the audience to scream for more.
On to P, he literally enjoyed dancing. Never once he willingly came to the class, cos he felt he would miss all monster kid and chotta bheem. So, didn’t go with much expectation. But, to my utter shock, he danced with utmost energy and that too smiling and laughing all the way .I thought he would be nervous and would just vomit and go everything on stage. He proved all my thoughts wrong….What made my day was he enjoyed the whole performance and was not at all conscious of dancing in the stage with so many people watching. And never once did miss us , I mean with strangers all along for about 4 hrs.
Not only Ps performance, but the whole show was fantastic. And i would really like to congratulate the whole team for the stupendous show.

“Uncle, naan kaarthaleye kulichitteen , moonjum alambinten, en enmela thanni kotreenga.” Amma, aanaalum rumba jolly ya irukku,
Now, he applied some foundation by applying in the form of dots all over the face.
“ Amma, nee ippadi thane veetla pottuppaa”
(Actually it was in the gents section and there came a wave of laughter at this question, maaname pochu)
Ippo he applied some lip gloss and the gold glitter.
“ Amma nee ithellam vechirukkiyaaa, unkitta aana ithu illaiye”

Now, the major part – Performance – Awesome it was. Really watching all those kutti kutties dancing especially was beautiful. And not to leave behind the choreographers and the organizers. That too choreographing for the kids and making them dance for the beats – really a tough task – it was brilliant , I should say. Kudos to them. And the dance company was “ The Swingers”. It was really breath taking.
Also, the performances by the level two children and the adults – non-professionals and the professionals were superb. The choice of the songs and the concept they had taken for various sequences were just wonderful.
Grooming kids performances covered songs like superman, fantasy , in the sea etc
There was a performance depicting a night in the museum and it was spectacular. Movements and the foot taping numbers really made the audience to scream for more.
On to P, he literally enjoyed dancing. Never once he willingly came to the class, cos he felt he would miss all monster kid and chotta bheem. So, didn’t go with much expectation. But, to my utter shock, he danced with utmost energy and that too smiling and laughing all the way .I thought he would be nervous and would just vomit and go everything on stage. He proved all my thoughts wrong….What made my day was he enjoyed the whole performance and was not at all conscious of dancing in the stage with so many people watching. And never once did miss us , I mean with strangers all along for about 4 hrs.
Not only Ps performance, but the whole show was fantastic. And i would really like to congratulate the whole team for the stupendous show.
