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.
அப்படியே திருப்பி படுத்துட்டான். என்னை பார்த்த மாதிரியே தெரியல. அவன கண்கொட்டாம பார்த்ததுல எனக்கு புரிஞ்சது என்னனா பையன் எதையோ பார்த்து பயந்துட்டான் போல. பக்கத்துல போயி நான் சொன்னேன் "ரவி இங்க தான் இருக்கேன். பயப்படாதே!". அஞ்சு நிமிஷத்துல 3 தடவை அதே மாதிரி எழுந்திருச்சுருப்பான். திடீர்னு என் கையப்பிடிச்சு அவன் நெஞ்சுல வெச்சு அழுத்த சொன்னான். அப்போ தான் எனக்கு புரிஞ்சிச்சு. ஐயோ இவனுக்கு நெஞ்சு வலியா? வலி தாங்காம தான் எழுந்திரிச்சானா? நான் கொஞ்ச நேரம் நெஞ்ச தடவினேன். போய் டாக்டர கூப்பிடலாம்னா, அவன் என் கைய விடவே இல்ல.
அப்படியே அரை மணி நேரம் போயிருக்கும். ஆனா அவனுக்கு வலி குறைஞ்ச மாதிரி இல்ல. சரி கண்டிப்பா போய் டாக்டர கூப்பிடனும்னு அவன் கைய உதறிட்டு எழுந்தா அவன் மெதுவா சொல்றான் "டாக்டர கூப்பிடாதே!" நான் ஒரே பீலிங்க்ஸோட (feelings) சொல்றேன் "ஏண்டா?". ரவி கண்ணை திறந்து சொல்றான் "மாமே! நீ மட்டும் ஏப்ரல் பூல் ஆனா பத்தாதாடா?".சொல்லிட்டு கெக் கெக் கெகெகெகே..ன்னு ஓரே சிரிப்பு. காணாம போனவனுங்க எல்லாம் அவன் ரூம்ல சிரிச்சுட்டு இருக்கானுங்க. இனிமே தற்கொலை வேணாம்னு முடிவு பண்ணிட்டேங்க. வெறும் கொலை தான். ரவி என் முகத்தை பார்த்து, என் மனசை புரிஞ்சுக்கிட்டு ஓடறான். கொஞ்சம் புடிச்சு தாங்களேன்.

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?
