"Its very simple man.means what.Somewhat difficult".On the first day of my college,my basic engineering class started off with the above said 'clear' explanation.While telling this,my lecturer used to draw hundreds of omni directional arrow heads on the blackboard,clearly depicting our frame of minds in the class.Our classroom board had many close friends in the name of lecturers.They were talking to the board most of the time,rarely showing their face to the students.

My first year in college was in a temporarily hired building because of the construction of the main building.The rental building was more like a garment factory than a college.It took quite a long time to learn a completely new language called "chennai tamil".Speaking about learning new languages,a recent research shows that when people learn new languages ,their brains become very sharp.Thats the reason God gave me so many chances to learn new languages.My roommates were telugu guys.I worked in Bangalore,karnataka.And now working in Japan.I am able to understand all these languages but the sharpness factor is still evasive.Sigh..research studies are bound to go wrong sometimes.

I had mixed group of friends.In one of the classroom seminars,one of my friends was so bent on his opinion that Ashok Layland uses Tidal power in its Hosur(which is interestingly 500 km away from the sea)production House.Such an innovative guy was he.There was this other guy,who used to sideline anybody who walks along.Yes,i mean literally.He had such a unique style of walking.But his punchy one liners always used to bring out hearty laughs in the group.and one guy uses the real chennai swearing on the stage in front of nearly 1000 people in the college cultural fest.He went on to sing a mesmerizing song later winning the best singer prize.

We had a place called hostel whose regular visitors during the rainy seasons were snakes of unbelivable lengths.One of the inmates saw a snake once and fled the hostel at that very moment and never came back to that place even for a casual visit.

The taste of the food never changed in my college canteen.Wait,wait.Do not jump into conclusions so soon.Only if there was something called as taste,then only the question arises about the varying of the taste.

In spite of all these kind of jokes,my college gave me an invaluable gift,Friends.I am glad that unlike the usual college friendship that ends with the graduation day,we guys are still in very close touch,thanks to the internet.Even a single worded mail from my college buddy makes my day bright.

Here we go guys,these two parts of the rickshaw are dedicated to all my friends.For those who have accepted me the way i am.

RikshawGraph-1

I belonged to the nerd,naamam(a typical iyengar's mark on the forehead) marked,oily haired,dhoti wearing brahmin boy category for quite a long time.I never did any of those mischieves, in other words,adventures that the adolescent school boys try to do to exhibit their masculinity.

My first experience of the arrow of the cupid happened when i entered into 11th standard,that was when i first had a co-education clssroom.Boy!! everyday i enter into the classroom,my adrenaline used to pump up.I had this experience for quite sometime.But i had this agni pariksha on my self control for two years.Imagine your class filled with lots of butterfly like girls sitting just in your hands reach but the class teacher happens to be your DAD.I used to be very jealous of my friends when they talk about every girl's dress,whom does she smile at etc., during the lessons whereas i used to sit straight like a lagaan'ed horse looking straight to my dad ,in otherwords, my english teacher all the time.

One fine breezy morning,a girl walks into the classroom thinking that she is walking into the class room like any other girl.She had no clues that she just walked into my life and would walk away with the honour of 'My first Crush'.My whole world started revloving around that girl.I felt her aura everywhere i go and my 125 year old school building became the most beautiful spot in the whole ever expanding universe.How i wish i could write down her name here!!

A single word with her used to make me hungerless,sleepless for days together.To add to this agonisingly sweet pain,i happened to watch 'maine pyar kiya' and went completely mad on this girl.Anybody who gives me some info about her, became my confidant.Because of all these,my academics were hitting all time low like the sensex index nosedive when the left parties wanted to take part in the central government.I scored a 40 in the chemistry,which in my parents point of view was worse than a fail.(Later in the college days,40s became my norm, is a pathetic story).Nobody had any idea about the different chemistry going on inside me.

I had a good friend(in indian terms,chaddi dosth) in my classroom,who was my partner in many ways.We were doubles partner in the table tennis team and opening partners in the cricket team.I should say,we were one hell of a team together.I had no idea he would become my partner in the case of this girl too.Thats the ugly smile of destiny on me.He also got crush on this girl too.

This guy was a toughie compared to me.He used to cut his fingers and write "i love you" with the blood so easily ,whereas i was scared to cut even the beetroots for its color.I was hoping that some miracle would occur and this girl would ignore my buddy and give me a green signal.But my first crush ended up in a bitter note when i heard she accepted my friend's proposal.Thats when my heart crashed like the WTC.The only art i could do properly was the heart symbol with her name in it.My sorrows knew no bounds when that drawing too became a caricature.

People,at this point ,i would like to advise you all on my experience.If you are looking for a similar wavelength pal,then let it better be a person of opposite sex.

Of course,my sorrows lasted for a month or two and no sooner i was ready for another episode.This time,it was our family friend's daughter.Even now,when i think about beautiful girls,first one to come to my mind is this girl.Oh!!if Dravid defines his shots,this girl defined beauty in her every movement.She had this rare gifted combination of beauty and brains and to crown those ,she was so down to earth.

I was so foolish that i used to call her Akka(elder sister) inspite her being just a year elder to me.Some day i got this Gyan and went directly to her and told her "listen ,i dont call anybody as akka who are close to my heart.So i will not call you akka anymore .Do you have any problem in that??".While telling this,my whole body was so hot like a furnace.She was so startled with this and said with a blushing,"no,not at all.In fact i was never comfortable when you call me akka".We had spent hours talking.I never had the courage of telling her how i felt about her.When i say she looked very good in some dress,the next day she comes in front of me wearing that dress.
I know ,i know it sounds very silly.But guys,please let me pour out my thoughts here.

I was so upset when there was talk going on that she may become a part of my family in such a relation that i will no more be able to think of her, the way i used to.Fortunately or unfortunately it did not work out and so was my second crush.She was married to someone else and went out of the village.All this happened in front of my helpless eyes.

But i think if i meet these girls again now,i would not take off my spectacles and turn back and cry with my whole body shaking.One reason is ,i dont wear spectacles.hihi.Next is,these are all sweet memories to cherish than to feel sad about anything.

So,folks ..dont go away.Next is the interesting part of college life where my transformation from a nerd into ........ hihihi,a more lousy guy.If you liked this first part,i will write the second one.Or else i will spare you all with this itself.Stay tuned.

Of Pickles and Books

Our beloved cassanova of the 21st century,William Jefferson Clinton has written his memoir,My Life.During the release of the same,he addressed a gathering and said he is a pickle in the history now.The charecteristic of a pickle as we all know is,even a single droplet of water spoils the whole content.But i am not sure what will happen to this pickle if protein mixes up with pickle.I guess that can be found only in the DNA test.
There is a lot of discussion going on regarding this term pickle in the net after his addressing.

Sometime back Hillary released a book regarding all the controversies.And now this gentleman releases 957 pages of the same story again.I assume we can expect a book from Chelsea too very soon.Who knows,probably Clinton's dog may also write its own version.Oh Boy! the same story of Clinton sleeping on the couch for many days,told again and again.I am sure there are many more issues discussed in Bill Clinton's book.But one of the main reasons why this book is eagerly awaited is very conspicuous.

It was really funny to see the americans standing in long queues from the morning to buy this book and get an autograph of him.My dear americans ,if you have so much money that you are ready to buy 3 books to read the same contents,why dont you do some more charity instead??I think Monica has already written a book.Not sure anyway.In any case,the Clintons have made sufficient Dollars even out of this infamous episode.Is this called as Garbage recylcing??Smart business family.They have clearly understood the psychology of people that they always get curious about peeeping into others houses.If it is a celebrity,they would not mind even peeping into the bedrooms.Kahaani ghar ghar ki.

But i always admire Clinton inspite of whatever his personal life be.I feel his administration was miles better than this Bush Jr.At least he knew what he was talking.And needless to say,he is a charismatic and charming personality who is capable of making spell bound speeches effortlessly.One such instance is his addressing of the joint Houses of Indian Parliament during his visit to India.

Talking about the books,our respected president also wrote some gem of books.I dont know how many indians know even the name of those books.For any great things to be done,there should be a starting point .So,mere Bharatvaasiyon,please cultivate the habit of reading,irrespective of fictious or non fictious books,let it be a starting point.Slowly,we will be able to identify and distinguish the quality of the books.

Recently Read jokes!

I am just following kamal haasan's style.One serious venture and to get out of that ,one comedy movie.So,here i am,giving you some interesting jokes which i read recently.
1.A mallu goes to New Delhi as as a mathematics teacher.One day,he gives the students some problems for solving.Here goes the conversation.
Teacher:"Rahul,did u solve the borblems i gave?"
Rahul:"yes sir,but a few."
Teacher:"show me those broblems which u didnt solve".After going through the problem,the teacher exclaims,
"sech a zimbel broblem and you gandu(can't do)?"

2.
This is a conversation between colleagues in an office party.One of them is a mallu.A married colleague comes to the party with his wife.They are married for quite a few years but no child.The wife is playing with a small baby of another lady on her laps.Our mallu friend says to the husband "Look man.Your wife is carrying a baby".annoyed with this ,the friends say "hey ..watch out man ,this gives another meaning too"
Our mallu friend quickly refuses "no,no, she is carrying someone else's baby".



Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge!

What would you say if a school going boy comes to you and proclaim himself as a saint?You are right.All i would do is to give him a series of serious psycho councelling and try to set things alright.Thats just silly me.But there is a gang which found a Golden egg laying duck in that boy.Still amused of what i am talking about?alright.here is some insight of the latest balayogi(oops ..not the late balayogi!) buzz going on in tamilnadu.

A 12 year old boy (bharani dharan)who has a religious brought up, recently proclaimed himself as a saint(bharani dhara raghavendra swamigal...uuff!!).To add flavour to this ridiculous joke ,he now has a significant number of disciples behind him who allegedly are trying to exlpoit this strange situation and making money out of it.The worried parents pleaded the boy to stay with the family but he renounced them stating saints dont have any connections with their so called Poorvasramam(family before the sainthood).The parents worried about the not-so-good company which he now has around him,even did a kidnapping of that boy,turning the proceedings into a state news.The boy is stated to be staying seperately with police security.

Whatsoever funny the situation is,the concerned parties have got more publicity than they would have expected.I was so angry and felt helpless when i saw the news that the High ranking Police Official comes to that urchin and seeks blessings.Oh!!! Please Tamilnadu,try to stand on your feet once atleast .Get up from floor .Enough of blessing seeking.Its time to do some soul seeking.

Whenever people lose self-confidence,there will be this kind of samiyaars in the corner of every street.Seeing the photo of that kid,he looks nothing more than a boy for a school annual disguise competition.And irony is that there are many people surrounding him in the age group of 50-60.Oh,please oldies !!do you think this kid knows more about life than you all?Then what on earth is the use of you people living in this world for so many years???Ever thought of this??

Its good to see that the government officials are behind this kid for using deer skin.The best correction for this boy is, he has to be in jail or in junior correction schools for sometime.Let him know how hard the life is.Then all this mockery will automatically come to an end.
We have embarassment of riches in the case of mutts and saints in India.Its time to have more schools and hospitals.If such mimicks do not come to an end,INDIA CAN NEVER EVER SHINE.
A true God fearing person would never go behind any such earthly creatures.As Bhagavat Gita itself says ,"Karmayoga is the best way to attain the Moksha,the Immortality.Do your duty and leave the rest to Him".May the Almighty help our people in realizing this.
GOD SAVE INDIA!!
I origianlly intended to write this in a lighter note.But it went on to become a serious one without my intentions.

Aayutha Ezhuthu-A commoner's thought

When i was in India last month,i had the chance of watching this movie in one of my favourite theaters in chennai,The Satyam.But,sadly,i had to watch it alone because i was the only guy roaming around like a drifter that time.One of my buddies ditched me at the last moment that he had training to attend.(He was gazing at one of those karchief holding,jasmine filled plaited,career focussed chennai gal during training, is a different story altogether).( No offence machi!!).That was one of the times when i felt the need for a girlfriend.OK..Polambals apart.

Let me come to the point.As i said in the title,its just a commoner's review.All i wanted was a good entertainer(like most other people would want) to kill my time till i board my flight.

As everybody would have watched the movie by now,and lots of GBs have been used up on reviewing it again and again by all and sundry,i would not make it boring by gettting into the narration of the movie.

Many people have compared it to amores perros,a Mexican movie.They had written off the movie stating its a faded copy of the original.As an ordinary movie goer,i do not care abt the nadhimoolam and rishimoolam of the movie as long as it is interesting.So,what i feel about these people is that they just want to show off their flair of the world movies.Tell me honestly,how many of our tamil movie buffs know and care about a mexican movie..???come on folks ,get real.

There are 2 things i liked in this movie.
First one is the Technical aspects of the movie.Ravi.K.chandran has taken up the tamil movie standards to a greater altitude with his skills and love for the job.Every frame is an eye catcher and especially the motion freeze(is that what you call it??) during the action sequences need a special mention here.When i was watching "Behind Enemy Lines", i was really stunned to see the technical standards of that movie esp those with the camera.i was really longing why not our folks get out of the running around the tree sequences and take a movie that would make you sit up.Finally my dream came true when i saw this A.E.Great work ravi.!!and a spl mention to the editor also.Crispy one.

Second worth mentioning is Surya.this kid is too good these days.I have been watching him since his first movie and his recent performances augur him a long and successful run in the industry.I was really impressed with his earlier movie kakha kakha too.His body language and subtle but strong performances are a treat to watch.I am tired of those protagonists who deliver dialogs to the screen,thinking of attacking somebody else.Utterly nonsense.They dont realize they are making a big joke out of themselves.Its soothing to watch a director's hero in surya.His growth curve is well drawn.(I still wonder what kind of a curve will dhanush have in his career graph..)
I know you must be wondering why there is no word about madhavan when all the people
go gaga over his performance.What would i say??i did not like his performance in this,though he was ready to be knocked down by the hero.
Nothing worth mentioning about the glamour gals in the movie.As usual they come and go like pets ,typical style of mani.What disappointed me most was the lack of tight screenplay.its a collateral effect on mani that people would expect a Roja effect whenever they watch his movie.He has to keep that in mind.
Thats the way(aahann aahaan) it goes man.Here i am,stuck up like a director who has no clues on how to finish his movie.I guess i have made enough blabber to publish this post.
Chaos...
Readers be cautioned that Blabbers will continue..Dont go away!!Stay connected.
A spl thanks to those who posted and those who will post comments .This will keep me ticking to pester you all for quite sometime.

Pallavi!

Thats Right guys..!! here i am, starting my blog keerthana and this is the pallavi.i know there will be lots of abhaswarams and sruthi bedhams in this.I am jus a kid in this great blog world.So,hopefully my alapanas get better with time.so,please dont tear me apart for this humble work of mine.
my friends used to suggest me that i write some literary work of my own.Of course those guys were not tamil guys,thats why.Those who knew tamil and my proficiency in tamil,would not have dared to suggest that.Only i know how much of a blundor that will be.Just because i read more tamil stuffs ,that doesnt give me a right to think myself as a guy who can write something.But,there has always been a small desire in my mind that i should try writing something.So,i found this blog spot as a perfect place to script my blabbers.Here we go guys,i have also taken a plunge into the world of blog spot.
I dont want to start with a usual intro abt me telling all stories about myself.So,whenever i find time,i would like to share anything and everything that are interesting.
Right..let me not get so deep in my first post itself.chalo guys..catch up with you all frequently with interesting stories.Pallavi is not suppposed to be so long.So...
Adios.
I will be really encouraged to see any feedbacks on my work always.Please dont hesitate to correct me if i am going wrong somewhere.of course ,dont hesitate to appreciate me too(hihihi).
