Traditional baby sitting!

I wonder, who is imposing violence to kids...we scare them saying "amachi kanna kuthidum, dont do this...".. "Puchandi vandutum, dont go here"..."if you do this, that uncle will take away the sweets from you"..ha ha...are these sayings ok????
And kids are epitome of patience..they always answer patiently to the question "un peru ena ma", even if you ask for the 100th time..Imagine someone asks you the samething the second or third time!!!
These are some wierd things but enjoyable ones which we live with....
Wish you all a happy and prosperous new year-2010!! I shall continue writing and no other go, you have to bear the pain of reading the crap!!

Cup of coffee

Now having a sip of coffee at pantry or cafeteria isnt new, infact i just avoid these days.
When i was just into job, and when i was into my induction program, my company had asked my dad/mom to sign a bond letter. My dad stepped into my office. With lot of pride in my face, i took him to HR's cube. Then i took him to pantry, forced him to have a coffee..
Its the same office, same cube, the cup of coffee hasnt changed, but i do not cherish it the way i did it years before..

A wierd imagination

I always wish, the clock could freeze by friday evening or could stop working by sunday evenings...It would be awesome to have just two days in a week- the much awaited weekends - saturdays & sundays...Mondays are really threatening days of the weeks..Yeah and i do need month ends to get my pay package. :)
Yeah i know, this is too sellfish & crap thing. But still my crazy wish which could never be fullfilled ..

My Visit to Banyan

I have never visited any orphanages/charity homes..For the first time i had accompanied my friend to visit Banyan. Banyan is a institute which takes care of mentally ill women. Its located at mogapper. As there were financial crunch, i couldn't make much of contribution. But still i made my mind to contribute a meagre amount of 200. It would serve a meal for atleast 4 people isnt it? That gave me a bit satisfaction.
It makes one really very very heavy to see the mentaly ill people..With a very heavy heart, i came outside thinking - blessed are we!

Not my thoughts-part 2 :)

A man risked his life by swimming through the treacherous riptide to save a youngster being swept out to sea.

After the child recovered from the harrowing experience, he said to the man, "Thank you for saving my life.

The man looked into the little boy's eyes and said, "That's okay, kid. Just make sure your life was worth saving."

Not my thoughts..

These are the ones which i had come across somewhere, but i liked...just putting it down before i forget...
உன் கையை நம்பு , கை ரேகையை அல்ல ..
கை இல்லாதவனுக்கும் எதிர்க்கலாம் உண்டு....

Your friend doesnt need explanations for your doings...If someone does then he/she may not be your friend..
Friendship is something which exsist even in silenece!!!!

Insurance - You pay your premium, thinking you will die..The insurance company believes you would live long...Who is confident here????

My day's out

This weekend was too good...my day started with getting ready for a movie..."Ninathale inikum"...Decent one, which reminds us of the good old college days...Good old days..no no...I am not that old though :)
The movie, reminded me of my college culturals, the semester, ragging, the 4 years bus travel, canteen, Rs.2.50 tea, 2rs bhajji, farewell, arrears, college fun, pranks, cruhses, sights :) etc,,list goes on and on and on..
But in the movie, people would meet after 8 yrs..Wish that would happen in reality as well..
From movie, we headed to some good shopping...Tired of shopping of almost 2hrs, we moved on to all time favourite AAB..
With tiredness to the peak, i was in a stage that i could eat anything edible...The waiter comes to me and asks.."ena venum"...Promptly my reply was "menu venum"...
It took some minutes to realise what i had said, but was too tired to laugh though...

தந்தைக்கு வேண்டுகோள்

உன் கடமைகளை நீ செய்துவிட்டாய் , அனால் ஓய்வு எடுக்க மருகின்றாய்
சூரியனுக்கு ஏது ஓய்வு என்கின்றாய்....
சூரியன் கூட பனிரெண்டு மணி நேரம் தானே வெளிச்சம் தருகின்றது ?
உனக்கு நான் என்றும் சிறு குழந்தை, அனால் பெற்றோரும் பிள்ளைகலுக்கு குழந்தை அன்றோ ?

Possesiveness

Possesiveness is one which kills!
Its good to be the one who is been loved and who has a possesive friend.
But the reverse always hurts!

மனசாட்சியின் குரல்

காதலித்து பார் கவிதை வரும் என்றார்கள் .
எனக்கு காதல் வரவில்லை , நல்ல கவிதை வந்ததே..
அதற்குள் இது கவிதையா! என்று என் மனசாட்சியின் குரல் எனக்கு கேட்டது

கற்பனையாய் ஒரு தோல்வி!

அன்று நீ விரும்பினாய் , நான் விலகினேன். அது விதியா?
இன்று நீ விலகினாய் , அது என் பிழையா?
உன் விருப்பம் தான் என் விருப்பம் என்று உதடுகள் கூறினாலும்
கண்ணீருடன் நின்றன என் கண்கள் ..

Scary ads!!

Have seen people's marketing stratagies...Get the order delivered in 30mins, else take it for free!
Have seen the delivery boys rushing to meet their timelines...Its worth waiting for hours for a meal, than paving way for accidents isnt it!!
Give a thought!!!!

My childhood games which i always miss

On gazing from my verandah, i always see that kids from my flats either play football, shuttle ....
I just wonder, where have the traditional games which i just loved had gone..
Dog and the bone, 7 stones , hide n seek, lock and key...I dont see anybody playing those these days...It looks like a lost treasure...
I do remember playing these games and i would not afford to miss my game by climbing the stairs for a glass of water. We just knock the doors of anyone in the groundfloor, those aunty and uncles are our saviours for quenching the thirst!!
Other sport which i had always loved to play is shuttle...Of 10 shots, 3 times the cock would either land up in the tree branches or in the window slabs....
we would just jump to grab the same but in vain...
Here again the passer-bys, the so called anna's and uncles come to our rescue..
I always wish, i could just have a rewind button and return to my childhood...

Temples at ecr

This writing is about some temples which i had visited recently in ecr...ECR is known for resorts, and enjoyable bike rides..But Indeed you have some places of spirutal interest as well...

There is a vishnu temple roughly 20kms from tiruvanmyur, Thiruvadanthai Nithya kalyana perumal...Its a very old historical temple...A very calm place....History of the temple is, a munivar (Forgot the name!) gets a blessing that, Lord Narayana would marry his daughter. He has 365 daughters and Lord Narayana marries each one daily, hence the name Nithya kalyana perumal ( meaning daily marriage)..Lord appears in varaha avatharam in that temple....

Moving on to the next place, is puri jagannathar temple...Its a very beautiful temple...One thing which observed is, in all the temples navargram would be in a circle. In this temple they appear in a straight line....Not sure of the reason though!!

Other temple which i had visited in the shiridi sai baba temple,this one too is constructed in a very vast area....very calm and soothing place to visit....they give prasadam every thursday and sunday!! So i was blessed with kesari as well...:)

A day's out..

Just like any other chennaite, who would like to spend the weekends, in world's second largest beach ( Maybe wrong here :-) ), started to marina ...Now the question will come with whom..! With my parents ( Hard to believe, but no other way..)...As my BMW failed that day :P, took chennai's common transport...BMW to MTC ..YEAH....It happens!...recession effect!!!
I was standing in one corner, desparately waiting to grab a seat....A lady was found busy with her bags, and restless in her seat..Hoping that she was about to get down, i moved towards her..
To my despair she sat again firmly....Now that another women got down...Before i could reach there, another gal was smart enough to occupy the seat....It was a kinda of musical chair...
I was blaming the system, why there isnt a token system for seating....First in should be the first to occupy, if a LAST IN person occupies the seat, it would kick them and say, " Dont be sellfish"...HA HA...too much of bluffing isnt...it..let me stop here then.....
Finaly i reached the sea shore....My dad firmly holding me, reminded me only of my childhood days....good old ones...doesnt mean that am pretty old now!!!
I am always a kid for my dad isnt it...!
My mom was sitting in the shore when we were enjoying the cool breeze and the waves...Then it was my turn to look after the slippers!!!... I was sitting, happily watching my parents....That was a big moment to watch....
Slowly walking, bajjis tempted me...Could one miss the mologa bajji..Nay....
Health consiousness lost in front of bajjis....Started with one plate mologa, then moved on to onion , aloo and plantain....Economical and awesome snack....
Slowly walked, and took the MTC...luckily i got a seat without kicking any one...
It was really a wonderful weekend!!!

மனம்

மனம் என்கிறார்கள்...
மனச்சாட்சி என்கிறார்கள்...
என் மனம் எங்கு என்று எனக்கே , தெரியாவிடில் ..
அதை நீ எப்படி கண்டு பிடித்து அதில் அமர்ந்தாய்

New year

Clock striked 12...
Streets were buzzed with people...
New Year wishes and resolutions were heard all around...
But he silently continued picking the rags around…
Jan-1, it’s just another day for him...
Looking at the calendar was an unusual task for the little boy...
I walked silently, with heavy heart thinking….
Will there be a New Year for the tiny tot?
Will there be a new dawn for the unfortunate kid?

B'day wish

Infact it isn’t a b’day wish, I could tell it as my embarrassment.
At 12, my cell beeped.
I received a empty message from my friend.
My mobile at times doesn’t support pictures
Thinking it should be my birthday message, promptly replied with a thank you message
The next minute, couldn’t hide my embarrassment
My friend’s message “Why a thanks for a GN-Crazy?” $%^&*….

My class

Its almost a year I had dragged myself to my violin class.
Sometime I love to be there…when I play it well J
Sometime I had to push myself, to travel 10km for a 15min class..
I feel this way, when I myself couldn’t bear my so called violin note…
One day, when I saw a visually challenged girl in my class all these thoughts vanished.
Without my notes in hand, I cant play it even 2 mins..
She was playing so beautiful and with so much of ease…
Her name is saraswathi…
I felt so heavy on knowing her name…
Alas we are blessed ones….
