SHIVAJI THE BOSS

RajiniKanth!!!!
Hope many of us talk with small babies, pointing them the heroes in TV and introducing them. That is how they must have introduced RajiniKanth to me when I was a kid.
And my parents used to take us to only one movie per year and that would be RajiniKanth’s movie. So, I like him whatever he is or however crazy he acts.
Recently, as I am out of Chennai, I come across many non Tamilians who ask me who my favorite hero is and when I reply RajiniKanth they spend rest of the time teasing him.
I don’t know what their problem is. I like him and that is it. And many times I feel like replying them but I control myself not to sound rude.

You say RajiniKanth is crazy and does illogical movies. But there are crores of people who enjoy it. You guys be the intellectual few who do not even know to enjoy life. If someone does the same in Hollywood movies, open your mouth wide and admire, but mock RajiniKanth. I feel like slapping them, when people criticize RajiniKanth badly in front of me.
The only reason cannot stand Vijay or Simbu is because they try to imitate RajiniKanth, The one and only superstar.

Some of his movies like engayo ketta kural, Buvana oru kelvi kuri, padikathavan, aarilirunthu arupathu varai, annamalai are amazing movies of his.
And I think RajiniKanth is the first dark hero in Tamil. And he proved that more than looks, attitude makes a man win.
We like RajiniKanth not only because he is a super star on screen but also because, he remains natural, without makeup, close to reality, down to earth in real life.

My Friend's Wedding

I was on my way to office on a busy monday. And then my phone started ringing. It was vijayalakshmi, My best friend in my college. I was not in a mood to talk since i was travelling amidst busy traffic, so I decided not to respond. But, she called me again and again and i felt something serious and I picked the call. After the formal questions i could feel that her voice was dull. I talked to her but I felt she is hesitating to tell me something. Finally she told me "Sunitha! I have a problem. Yesterday I was talking with Sandilyan and I heard a girl's voice in between". Sandilyan is the guy to whom she is engaged to. I was confused "so what da? Is it that he should not talk to any girl?". And here goes the conversation.
Viji "It was 12 in night".
I "God he might have been in office".
Viji "Nopes when I enquired him he told me, he is with no one and he was in his room only".
I " Viji may be he is right. Some guys when they laugh they might sound feminine."
Viji "And also he always talks about my sister. Whenever we talk he always enquire about her.He says she is more smart than me. She has better dressing sense than me." I could feel she was in tears. So I kept quiet for a while. Then I told her "Ok da. I feel you have started liking him very much and you are feeling jealous about him."
Viji "No, He feels I am fat and he says I have to reduce. Everytime he asks me to reduce. He says I need to put down weight, I need to do pedicure. He says I need to improve my complexion."
I got irritated. Because I have seen many guys who do like this to girls. Making them feel low.
I "Ok what do you want me to do ? U just relax now. Later think with clear mind. I feel you can directly ask him about everything."
Viji "Sunitha, Can you talk to him once and tell me how is he? I want to know how does he present himself to a third person."
I "Ok viji. U think about this. If i tell you that he spoke like a rogue to me, Would you be able to stop the marriage? You decide about this and then tell me. Then I will call him." I kept the phone down. At lunch hour again my another friend called me and told that viji havent eaten anything since yesterday. She is still diturbed with this and she wants me to call. I called viji and scolded her, advised her for a while but she was stubborn about this. So I decided to call him as a person who by mistake dialled a wrong number.
I gave a call to his number and disconnected with a missed call. He called back, and enquired about me I asked for Shankar and as per my plan told him that it was my frds number before, and started talking like "what is he doing? Whether he is married or what? "
And he sound very cheerful and nice. But I would have asked him around some 6 times during the15 minutes call whether he is married or engaged or in love and his reply was all the time no.


PART2
My girl friends told me that he is a flirt and not a good guy, since being engaged to a girl he is talking to another and that too to a unknown girl in a long distance call. No good guy would spend like this for a unknown wrong number.
My friends who were guys had a different arguement that Sandi has liked the Viji. So only he wants her to look the best. So he is providing all the suggestions for her to become a best girl. And then as far as talking to me is concerned that any guy would talk like that only. All guys like to passed their time in this kind of vetti kadalai. We cannot filter guys with this as a bad quality. I was confused what to tell Viji.
Again he called me the next day, He told all the details about him, from his salary to his siblings workplace, but not about Viji. Then he told me about his habbit of going to late night parties, where he gets drink for others but he never drinks. Since I dont know much about this late nite parties I was not in a situation to judge him still. But i could feel that he was not a responsible or serious person. And we held a discussion with my friends and I told to Viji whatever happened?
We all suggested Viji that someone from her family should go to the city where the Sandi is working to enquire about him once before marriage. How much ever times we advised, she was not taking it seriously. Actually only on that day viji was sad about hearing a girls voice, later she forgot about it and she reconciled with Sandi.

Part3
There was 4 months duration of time present between their engagement and marriage and all the while she was busy talking to him. If once in a while she feels hurt with his comments on her looks( she is not a bad looking girl), she convinces herself. And she was falling madly in luv with sandi, She reduced around 10 kgs in 3 months and we were able to see how much she liked him? She started wearing jeans, skirts as per our heroes choice. In our group we were fuming with anger. We girls felt that he has no rights to change her personality, her looks. Guys were arguing that, thats what happens in luv.
She got married with all dreams. We all attended her marriage. And We prayed, However he was in past, He should be sincere to Viji atleast in future.

DEVDAS PART2

PART 1
She was working in a call center immediately after completing her college. It’s been 2months since she was in to this job and she has started learning the tips in it. After coming to this job she has got a lot of friends and this was the first time she was out of college and she liked the work except for late hours working. It is such a process that they have to talk to customers and If they are not able to solve the problem they have to transfer to their superiors. Once what happened was she was caught in a call and her shift time got over. She wanted to go home and sleep.
So as against the process in half way through the call she transferred the call to her superior. She grabbed her handbag and was about to leave, just then she received a call in her extn.
She picked the call to answer and leave, but the person who spoke at the other end was to whom she transferred the call and he insisted her to meet him and he gave his cubicle name.

She was little irritated but still she tried to answer polite and to go and meet him. She went to the place where he was sitting and he was in a call. He nodded his head when he saw her and she was waiting. She was feeling uncomfortable to stand in front of him. And right in their first meeting she hated the way he looked at her.
She has met a lot of guys in her college, in this same office, among her relatives and if they happen to look at her, it was easy for her to ignore them. But as far as he was concerned she was getting irritated.

Just then he kept his receiver and enquired her. “Were you the person who transferred the call to me?” She nodded yes. He asked “Will you be missing ur cab? Are u running out of time?”. Again she nodded her head. Ok leave then “. He continued “Hey what’s your name?” She told “Remya” and she left in hurry. She didn’t like him and she was such a person that if she has judged about someone she would never change her mind.

After 2 weeks she saw her TL introducing a new Superior in their team and that was him and he gave a friendly smile towards her. She smiled with great difficulty.
And he happened to take training for them at times. She was always feeling uncomfortable in his presence. When she talks to her friends who are guys, she could feel him staring at her and if she looks at him he never turns his eyes. This was irritating her.

She completely avoided him. Once, he told to everyone in the team that his sister is blessed with a baby boy and asked all the team members to suggest any name starting from B and when her chance came she told “Balaji” and after listening to all the names, he answered he has chosen Balaji since he liked the name. And her friend whispered to her “May be he likes the person who chose the name”. She didn’t reply anything. But she was not complete sure about what her friend told. What she had concluded about him was, since he was from a small village he didn’t like her because she talks to guys a lot. That’s why he was giving her an irritated look always. Every time his look was disturbing her. There was nothing nice or lovable about him.

Just then a new character entered the picture. Abirami, a friend of Remya, told Remya that Kathir (that was his name) is from her village only. They both were school mates. He was an arrogant guy and Abirami likes him a lot. Remya, as she was famous for that, started teasing Abirami. And it became a practice for her that every time Abirami happens to cross there team she teases her enquiring why she has come there? Whether to see him? etc.etc.
On one such occasion when she was teasing Abirami, Remya could feel that Kathir was actually looking at them from little far. But she didn’t bother because she was so sure that he would never know what they are talking about. Abirami as usual gave a shy smile and crossed the place but for a long time Remya could feel being watched by him. however as usual she ignored him.


PART 2
Two weeks later, she had an off and she was at home. She received a call from Abirami. Abirami was crying all the time and she found a very difficult time to make out what had happened?
In between her weeps Abirami told her that Kathir is down with fever and so she called him to enquire about his health and he spoke very harshly to Abi and asked her not to call him again or talk to him anywhere. Remya was shocked. She was feeling guilty if she and her teasing was reason for this. Even then, according to Remya teasing is such a common thing and why is this villain so serious about it. She consoled Abi for half an hour and then her tears subsided. Next day Remya was talking to one of her friend Pavan.
Remya told “Pavan I want to know one thing about guy’s psychology. See a guy and a girl are friends and there relationship was fine and one day suddenly the guy asks the girl not to call him and insults her. What does that mean?”
Pavan had a why me look one his face. Pavan asked “Does that girl look very bad?” She got angry. She replied “Ha. Gals take pity on guys and talk to them and you are enquiring if she looks good?” Pavan smiled “That’s true. Now tell me whom are u talking about?” Just then Kathir happened to pass them and Remya didn’t talk anything. But innocent Pavan caught hold of Kathir and he didn’t even get a hint from Remya’s face. Remya was pleading to him with her eyes. But stupid Pavan told the same story to Kathir and asked why must the guy have done this?
Kathir replied calmly “May be he is interested in some other girl” and he looked at Remya deeply and left.
Pavan told Remya “That was a good reply. He is smart na?”


PART 3
Remya had to leave her job since she got a better job and that was the last day in her office. She told bye to everyone except for Kathir. When she turned back to leave, she could feel his look poking her shoulders.
She stopped and thought for a while to go and say bye to him or to go and enquire him why he looks at her like this. Then she thought why to invite problems on her last day and she left the office. After two months when she happened to walk in her area she happened to see Kathir with a weeks beard, dark circles and having lost few kilos. She didn’t know how to react and she gave a doubtful smile at him. He instantly smiled back at her. He came towards and told her “That was for what I was awaiting all the time. A smile from you” She was surprised and didn’t know what to say. He told her “Remya I never thought I would be in such a situation to plead to any girl. I don’t know how to talk. But I am not able to live without you.” Remya stopped” What? Hold on. This is news to me. What do you know about me Kathir?” He gave her a helpless look. Remya looked at him once. He has definitely changed a lot and is looking like 20th century Devadas. But he has never told about this to her and she does not even have a hint about this. If she accepts him how will she convince her parents? Before that does she likes him? His looks are creating sympathy in her but she cannot accept for that. She didn’t know if he is being honest or trying to cheat her. She does not know anything about him. Ok so if she gives him a proposal of friendship and to decide after that that might give a false hope to him. Most of her friends talk cheaply about girls, who start as friendship, spend some time and spend the guy’s money and finally put down the proposal. She did not want to do that also? But she was confused. She told him “Kathir I love some one else in my college. We both have got our parents consent also. Believe me.” And she definitely knew that arrogant people like Kathir would never stand there pleading to her. As she expected he gave a look at her and he left the place.
Remya knew he would never meet her again. But that day she prayed to god to forgive her if she has really hurt a sincere heart and, not to punish her in future for that.


PART 4
2 months later Remya completely absorbed in her new job but once in a while she was praying to god for him. Once she received a call from Abirami. This time Abirami was happy. Abirami told Remya that recently Kathir called her not to apologize for what he did, but he just spoke to her as usual and they are friends like before. Remya gave a broad smile and told Abi “Hey! Abi this is when you need to be careful. Don’t talk to him too much but make him feel you care for him. Be very careful. Slowly make him understand that. Abi yelled at Remya “I know about that. No need for your advice.” Remya told “Ok ma. Your life and your love carry on.” But she thought in her mind “My indulgence has spoilt your love story once but not again.” Remya looked at sky to thank god.

தற்கொலை!

நான் என் அறையில் தனியாக இருந்தேன். இன்று சனிக்கிழமை. ரூமில் எல்லொரும் நான் எழுந்திரிக்கறதுக்கு முன்னாடியே எங்கேயோ கிளம்பி போயிட்டாங்க. என்னையும் கூப்பிட்டாங்க, நான் தான் வரலைன்னு சொல்லிட்டேன். மற்ற நாளில் வேலை பளுவில் கவலைகளை மறந்திருப்பேன். ஆனா இன்னிக்கி என்ன பண்ணுறது. காலைல இருந்து ஒரே தலை வலி. தலைக்கு உள்ள யாரோ ஆணி அடிக்கிற மாதிரி இருக்கு. நடந்தத நினைச்சா மனசு ரொம்ப வலிக்குது. அமுதா என் மேல எவ்ளோ அன்பா இருப்பா. அவ எப்படி மாறி போனா. பணத்துக்காக தான் என்னை வேணாம்னு சொன்னா. எல்லாருக்கும் இங்க பணம் தான் முக்கியம். எனக்கு உயிரோட இருக்கவே பிடிக்கல. அவ கல்யாணத்தன்னிக்கு நான் விஷம் சாப்பிட்டேன். ஆனா என்னை ஆஸ்பத்திரில சேர்த்து பிழைக்க வெச்சிட்டாங்க. எங்க அம்மா வேற அழுது ட்ராமா பண்ணி, ஆனா நான் எதுக்கும் அசரல. அமுதாக்கு எப்படி மனசு வந்துச்சு. எனக்கு உயிரோட இருக்கவே பிடிக்கல. இப்படி கஷ்டப்படறதுக்கு அன்னிக்கே போய் சேர்ந்திருக்கலாம்.
போன் அலற, ரவியா தான் இருக்கும்ன்னு நினைச்சுக்கிட்டே ஹலொ! சொன்னேன். ரவியின் குரல் ஈனமாக கேட்டுச்சு "முத்து நான் சாப்பிட வரலடா. என் ரூமுக்கு வராதே".ஏன் வரலேன்னு கேட்டா ஏதோ உலறிட்டு போன வெச்சிட்டான். சரி, தனியா தான் போயி சாப்பிடனும். ஆனா எனக்கு ரவி மேல சந்தேகம். "பய குரல் சரி இல்லயே. ஏதாவது குடிச்சு இல்ல அடிச்சு இருப்பானோ? அவன் ரூமுக்கு போய் பார்த்தா என்ன?" நிறைய யோசிச்சு போயி பார்க்கறதுன்னு முடிவு பண்ணிட்டேன்.அவன் ரூமுக்கு போயி கதவை தட்டுனா கதவு திறந்து தான் இருக்கு. உள்ளே போனா பய தூங்கிட்டு இருக்கான். சரி திரும்பி போயிடலாம்னு நினைச்சா திடீர்னு பேய் மாதிரி எழுந்தான்.

Chweeeet Neighbours!!!!

In a city like Chennai, most of us stay in flats only. And I stay in one such flat. There are a lot of families who move in and out of the flat. This post is about such neighbours.
It was a vacation time. I was sleeping in my room. Someone knocked the door. I lazily went and opened the door. No one was there, I looked down. There was standing a hero. He was smart, handsome and cute. He got into the house without my permission. I was just staring at him. He sat near the television and started watching it. Just then my sister came to the hall. “Hey! He is Amar. Yesterday he came to our house. He is my friend.” This was how I met Amar first. He was 4 years old then. He talks too much. He was a great fan of Rani Mukherji. After that day, daily he came to our house. Since my parents are working, my sister and I used to be alone in home. He likes Maggi Noodles a lot. We became close friends. Daily he used to wake me up. He says “Didi! Bahuth Gandhi ho. Jaake nahaake aao.” (Means your dirty go and take bath). Till he sleeps he will be in our home only. He has rasam rice in our house and his mom complains that he crushes and mixes chapatti like rasam rice while eating. Two months passed. We both became best friends. The day came, when his father got a transfer and he had to move again to Rajasthan. I cannot forget the day when he cried to leave us and move with his parents. His mom was not able to control him and she slapped him. He left our house crying.
After that, for 2 weeks we spoke about him. Everyone in my family missed him. And after college started I forgot him. Two years later, again a new angel came to our flat. Her name is Apsa. She was a cute, chweet, 2yrs old girl. She became a pet for our entire flat. Everyone would love to play with her. She is such a clean girl. She eats neatly, dresses up nicely. She watches Surya and Jyothika on television with great interest. And my sister and I taught her the words I love you. And she pronounces in her cute voice as “Eye Lev U”. She went around telling this to everyone in flat. After 6 months or so, even their family moved. I do not know if this is an important experience about which I should have posted. But I am sure everyone would be having this kind of experience in their life.
After completing my college, I went for an interview. I cleared the prelims and was asked to meet the HR for final round of interview. I entered the room and the interviewer was in 30’s. His expression changed when he looked at me. I felt he was thinking about something deeply. He went through my resume and he told my nickname, my mom’s and dad’s job correctly. I was surprised. Then he asked me if I have ever stayed in Nungambakkam area in Chennai. I told him yes. But still I was not able to recognize him. And he asked if I remember anyone by name “SARAVANAN”. I looked at his name plate as Saravanan. But definitely I dint remember him then. I nodded no. Actually I was confused and little irritated. Then he asked question related to job. After then the interview was complete, he gave his number and asked my mom to call him when I get back home. By then I have guessed that he could be our family friend. While leaving he smiled and told me that it was very easy for him to recognize me.
I came home and I told my mom about this. She was surprised and she told me that Saravana was studying in 9th std. when I was 3 year old kid and He used to play only with me. I could understand that he has got the same kind of memories that I have with Apsa and Amar. Hope I too meet them somewhere. But Will I be able to recognise them?

BE YOURSELF

Treeeeeeng Treeeeeeeeeeng. Ravi opened his eyes one nanometer wide and
saw the time in alarm clock. He was still feeling sleepy. But today he
has to attend Guru's marriage. Guru is Ravi’s friend from 5th standard.
He woke up lazily brushed his teeth, took bath for half an hour,
applied men's Fair and lovely and got ready. His mom got ready before him.
Ravi started his car and reached the marriage hall with in half an hour.
Crowd was less since it was early morning. Marriage went well.
Food was good. Just then his mom pointed a girl to him and told
"This girl's name is Brindha. We are going to her house this weekend."
Ravi looked at that girl, Brindha. She looked good. She was dressed in a
simple saree with not much of jewels. He looked at his mom and told her
"She would never like me." He got up from food and walked to the entrance
of the hall. He knew that this girl will never like him. He looked at her again.
This time she was with another girl and they were talking about him. He
felt tensed. His mom came and he rushed back home.





Brindha was watching television. Her mind was not on that. She was
listening to her younger sister. Her sister told "Hye your crazy. Protest now.
That guy is not looking good. I dint like him. It will be very difficult for
you in future". Brindha nodded her head. Just then their mom came from terrace.
Her mother has always been a mediator to convey her messages to her father.
"Amma! Shall we go for a walk?" Brindha asked her mom. Her mom smiled
at her and they wore slippers and started walking. Brindha started "Ma,
I want to ask you something". Her mom gave an enquiring look. Brindha smiled at
her and asked "Is anyone going to come to our house this weekend?" Her mom told
"Yes! Your dear sister must have told everything by now, don't pretend?"
Brindha started again "This wont work out ma. I don't like arranged marriage.
Give me some time I want to do love marriage only." Though she told this she
was hesitant in facing her mom. Her Mom replied "You are not in your sixteen to give you any more time. And I don't think any guy is crazy enough to love you".
Brindha dint utter a word after that. But she was talking a lot to
herself. What her mom told was right. She has never impressed any guy so far.
She had a lot of friends who used to tease her, irritate her. But never had she
had a boy friend. Reasons for that are very simple:
1) She doesn't know to giggle unnecessarily.
2) She doesn't know anything about English movies, I don't know
Tamil + English.
3) She doesn't know to act (Widening the eyes) as if I have never heard
anyone talking local slang.
4) She doesn’t know how to be stylish. I don't know to eat Idly, Dosa and
vada with spoon.
5) Most important of all she don't know to be diplomatic. Every time
she fights with one person or other and give her own advices and theories
to them.
But now Brindha decided. Whatever happens she will not marry him. She
told to herself "I will wait and definitely I will go for a love
marriage even if it is going to happen after 50 years."





After two months:
Ravi was waiting for Brindha in a temple near his house. He was looking
around at the people. Seems everyone had company and all around him were
happy. He dint know what to do? For past two months since he has met
Brindha it's very clear that he has started liking her in spite of his
control. He is well aware of the fact that she does not have the same feeling
for him. He has shared his problems with his friends and followed their
advices to impress her. He has showered her with gifts expensive chocolates,
flowers, dresses. At first she used to refuse but now she accepts the gifts
but never does she looked impressed with the gifts. He dint know what to do.
Finally he has decided. He needs to talk to her what and all he has in his
mind. He cannot marry her when she is not interested. Just then he saw her
entering inside the temple. There she came towards him, dressed in simplest
outfits but still having magnetism around her. Her eyes were gleaming with
pride, intelligence and confidence. Brindha came towards him and gave a
one mm smile. She told "Sorry. I am little late. Tell me why you called me here." Ravi replied "We are going to get married. Can't we meet?" He dint wait
for a reply. He continued "Brindha we have talked so much over phone. I
could feel one thing very clear that u r not interested in marrying me.
Are you in love with someone?" She stared at him and nodded no. Ravi
started again "Then tell me. Is that you feel I don't look good. Tell me.
All cannot look like Hrithik. This is what I am and tell me if you would
be able to bear with me all your life. When your not interested why your
forcing yourself into this relationship. Don't blame your parents. Let's break
this. It's becoming whole mess. You are not happy neither am I." Ravi was
afraid that he would cry. Every word he uttered was giving him a lot of
pain. Brindha suddenly felt surge of relief inside her.



Both of them came out of the temple. A school van was crossing them.
Just as it turned towards the edge of the road with a sound it hit on a
Lorry. Brindha was shocked and she just stood there with huge shock.
Ravi lifted his head to look at what happened. The school van was tilted to an angle and was leaning on the wall now.
And the lorry was nowhere to be seen. Ravi was just very fast. He shouted at brindha" Get back to your house". And he hurried towards the end of the road.
He immediately called the ambulance. He asked the people standing near for help. Two or three came for help and rest seemed interested only in watching. He was acting fast, carrying all the injured kids to ambulance and helping the hospital staffs. After an hour all the children were taken to hospital and he was tired. He just turned to face the temple, he saw Brindha standing there staring at him. Ravi looked at his shirt with blood stains and walked towards her. "Didn't u go home?" he enquired. She smiled and shook her head. He took a cigarette. "So you smoke?" She asked looking at him. He said "Yes. Last time I lied to you. Actually I have acted a lot to you for past few months. I don't like giving gifts or chocolates or anything. I just don't like. I have never done this to anyone. My friends advised me to." He kept the cigarette inside his pocket. They were walking towards her house. Brindha was listening carefully to him. She just told him "You could have been yourself".
Now he was really feeling likely to smoke. He asked her "I want to smoke. Do you mind?" She looked at him with a smile in her eyes "Actually if I ask you to leave smoking it is like I am dominating you. But if you smoke your lifetime is reduced. And I want you to live with me as long as I live. So I am confused." Ravi dint understand for a while. She continued "I like your nature but there was something that was stopping me to accept for this marriage. Because I felt something is not truthful in you. That?s why I was hesitant. You could have been yourself right from the beginning. Now decision is yours. Will you be able to bear a devil like me?" She gave an enquiring look.

He was flying with happiness. He gave a thoughtful look and told her "It's a very difficult decision...mm. I need sometime" he smiled mischievously at her. She waved bye and went into her house. Her sister came behind her. "Hey Brindha, Tell mom and dad that he is not looking good. And don't marry him." Brindha smiled at her and she thought in her mind that "Wear a lens of love everything looks beautiful. So is Ravi. And you would never understand until and unless you fall in love".
"Aiyooo You are never following my advice "Her sister was screaming. And first time in her life Brindha started day dreaming....mm.. Every living things have there own day (to fall in love)...

LOVE LETTER

I was studying in 10th std. in RAS Matriculation Higher Secondary school. My school is a co-ed school So we have all the rights and age to tease everyone in our class.

That was the first day in our school immediately after Dussehra holidays. I went to class and found all the girls in my group discussing something seriously.
So I kept my bag on my bench and rushed towards them curious to find what the discussion is all about. The center of attraction of the group was Saranya, the tallest girl in our class. She was narrating her stories on what she did during the vacation.
She was talking about how she met her cousin Gautam and how much she likes him etc.etc.
And we all were listening to it with great interest. Soon bell rang and the first period started. Physics class started but my mind was thinking about Saranya.
“Oh God how lucky she is? She has got what she wants in her life. She is gifted…..blah blah blah”
Suddenly I was shocked. I questioned myself
“am I expecting such a thing to happen to me also ??”
I shook my head.
“No not at all. This is too early I am just a kid. When I go to college I will find my guy. This is too early.”
But the dreaming did continue….

“Bhai Bhai, Kavya. Why are u staring at me bhai?”
Oh my Physics master. He is one crazy man. He talks a mixture of Hindi and English and at times Tamil also. He addresses even girls as bhai only. We all have concluded that too much of learning physics has made him mad. But why is he calling me.
I dint understand and everyone were laughing at me. My friend pinched me and then I realized and got up. I told him “Sir, I am not feeling well”. He gave a sick look and turned back to black board. All my friends started teasing me in the break. “Kavya is so much interested on physics sir that she stares at him”. I just gave sheepish smile.

Days went on. And daily we listened to Saranya’s story and finally Saranya decided that she should convey her love through a letter. All my friends found me as a good writer to write the letter for her. I was honoured. I took my school diary and my favorite pen and in my English class I started writing the letter and finished it by next period. My first Love Letter was ready though it’s not for me. I gave it to Saranya. She read it twice and gave a look of satisfaction and she copied it in a paper. She was happy.

I came back home and was doing my homework in night. I have one younger sister. She is the person whom I hate most in the world. Many times I think she is my step sister and I am Cinderella (By now u must have understood I dream a lot. Bear with me please). My father was just back from office. My sister ran to my father with my school diary in her hand and held it to my dad. For a second or two I dint understand anything. She thought that, the long writing in my diary is some complaint from my school teacher and she has decided to complain to my dad. My dad read it once. I stood there frozen. I was dead that very minute. My first love letter is read by my father. I am very afraid of my father. I have never spoken anything against him. He looked at me with his eyes red. I was about to faint the very next second. I dint hear whatever he said But could make out he is scolding me and he tore the letter. But I was not able to hear anything. That night I cried a lot. I decided never again to write a love letter in my life. Next day when I went to school Saranya hugged me. She was very happy. Everything is going fine for her.

I dint tell about what happened in my home to anyone in my class. When I tell this story to my friend today everyone laughs at this. I myself laugh at what has happened. Never again did my father ask about the letter and I never did I get a chance to explain what actually happened …

My Mother

She is my best friend. I talk about everything to her. Share all the secrets in my life. Many times I have thought to hide few things from her but it automatically comes out of my mouth. Or Even if I lie to her, she guesses the right story correctly. She is a strong woman with so much of patience, intelligence, confidence. I adore her and I want to be like her some day. All the 24yrs of my life I have seen her crying only once or twice. And she is a woman of power. It is not that Fighting with people shows someone to be strong. I have seen her fighting with so many problems in our day to day life, be it financial problem or health concerns or whatever she takes the best decision. And once she decides something she never regrets for it. She might not be as educated as me. But she teaches me so many things. I wonder how come she has learnt so many things. WhenI go home, she cooks for me. All I have to do is sit and watch television and eat whatever she cooks. She shares all the stories about her childhood, how her father died, how my uncle did a love marriage and many more things.
Being in this job I hardly get time to spend with her as I used to do in college. Whatever little time I get I prefer to talk only with her about our neighbours, relatives, movies....
