someone please clarify this

I was going through some link today..In that, they have listed all holidays in US and wrote a note saying "Holidays that fall on a weekend may be observed on the Friday before or the Monday after."

is that so?? idhellaam too much. India'la holiday weekend'la vanthaa, "oru naal company close panra velai kooda ila"nu soliduvaangha..kadupaa irukum...last year I think, most of the festivals were on weekend hhmmmm

Hey kuruvi, chittu kuruvi

A sparrow was visiting our balcony for sometime and started building a nest for its family. It has put a nice basement and built a cute, kutty nest. After sometime he stopped coming and the nest was empty. Amma was worried and kept saying abt that. I made fun of it saying "Rent adhigama irukunu gaali panidicho ennamo...etc". Yesterday, Amma said that she heard his voice in the morning and confirmed that it has come back. "Kuruvi koodu kattinaa veetuku nallathu..appa thaan nammma kooda veedu kattara maathri irukum...see, athu vantha udanae car vaanghitom" nu -- Amma's dialogue...naan - sari sari :-)

anyway, reminded of the beautiful song in "Mudhal Mariyaadhai"

"Un soadi engha, adha kootikittu
engha veetukuLa vandhu koodu kattu
ponaana veeduuuuu, kattu ponnaana koodu
pondaati illaii, vandhu en kooda paaduu...

Hey kuruvi, chittu kuruvi"

:-)

Have a nice weekend!

NeeNda naaL kanavu

I always wanted to drive playing songs alound for a long distance esp while raining...Wooooo thats heaven for me to imagine -- immediately gives me some emotional energy :-) see, even now :-)

And a part of it happened yesterday. Yes, for the first time, I drove the car _alone_ with all those initial hiccups. Played "Thoti Jaya" songs (nothing special, generally saw that cassette in front and picked it). The two lovely melodies "Uyirae en uyirae", "Yaaridamum thondravillai" and the peppy song "Jaari singaari" -- I enjoyed the drive completely. Something I did for me, myself for the first time :-):-) Its actually a nice feeling !! I recommend it to others too. hehe :-)

I am waiting for my license without which I cant take the car in the main road. sterday, chumma engha area'la kutty kutty sandhu elaam suthitu irunthen.

License vantha apram, I am planning to take for a long distance whenever I feel bad....to do something I love and change my mood myself without expecting anyone...happppaa, atlast I got a company now!!! till now, mood change always depends on some person whom I cant expect to be with me all the time.

anyway, adhi story (as telugu ppl say) :-)

Mango - my fav fruit

We have been buying Mangoes since April (season vantha piragu) but everytime we got disappointed by the taste. Did not get that usual sweetness. Tried different shops, areas but in vain. Yesterday, I tried one thinking that it would be of bad taste. But, to my surprise, it was tasting sooooo sweeeeeetttt :-) Yehhh yummy yummy :-) Ate 2/3 mangoes at one go and got satisfied :p Biting the fruit, absorbing the juice and eating it, watching TV is a good time pass. I enjoyed that yesterday :-)

Yaan petra inbam peruga ivaiyagam :-)

Punnagai Mannan

After a long time, me listening to Punnagai Mannan songs. what a lovely music, lyrics. Anytime, anywhere enjoyable songs. SPB voice - Awesome. Sis and I are great fans of SPB. My heart and mind is calm, balanced after listening to the songs now.

From "Enna satham ..",

"mannavanae un vizhiyaaL peN vizhiyai mooodu
aadharavaai chaainthu vittaaL aarirarooo paadu
aaariroo ivar yaar evaroo
badhil solvaar yaaro"

And, before the second stanza, a beautiful piano, flute combination ending with a high pitch saxophone piece -- Ultimate!!!

"udhatil thudikum vaarthai, adhu ularnthu ponathoo
uLLangaL thudikum oasai, isai aagaathooo
...
...
yaar ivargaL...iru poonguyilgaL...
iLam kaadhal maangaL

enna satham indha neram..."

OMG, I am enjoying :-):-) sooooo many beautiful words in Tamizh..veryy sweeet :-)

Generally, selected all melody kinda or 80's songs today in my playlist and peacefully working!

T(amil)elugu

Today I was talking to my colleague, who is a Telugu guy. I generally talk to him in Telugu + English. inaiku, unknowingly this has come out of my mouth. Something he said that has been done already. For that, I asked "oh, so idhi erkanavae aayipoyindhaa?". He understood and said "Yes" also LOL :D

For a moment I felt that something is wrong. Then I realized its a Tamil word inbetween. pakkathula irukavan enna nenachaano - "intha ponuku Telugu theriyum nu nenachen, ippadi thaan Tamizh'a nadula poattu poattu pesudhaa". Ah, felt embarrassed LOL :D

Achachoo, varunkaalathula enna enna kalanthu pesa porenoooo :D

Expressions

Read this in SK's blog today

//If its happy news, I have to tell it to people. No, I dont boast, its just sharing a good thing. I get excited at very small things. Or rather, even a small incident can mean a lot to me, a word or appreciation, a warm smile, a kind gesture..such things can make my outlook change directions one eighty degrees.//

How nicely written and how it has expressed the recent thoughts running on my mind..thanks :-) Glad to have a person like you who matches my frequency, mindset a lot! Advantage to see my feelings in words which I cant write myself :p

[dont know if its worth worrying but I do worry for it]

Recently, I have been hearing news from people that they got engaged. How happily they share the news to everyone and get teased by people. I feel like an odd man out in this regard. After people at home have decided to have the function, I too wrote a big list of people whom I have to invite from office, my team, my old PL etc etc. A and I wanted to finalize both the list. After waiting for so many days, suddenly A said that he is going to invite only his *close* friends and he gave a nice, big explanation for it. As a dumb girl (which A says always), it made sense to me too by then and drastically reduced the count and invited a very few people.

Most of the people whom I talk to dont know that I got engaged, that too with A, our colleague. I feel like sharing now, but this news in no longer fresh. I cant or dont blame A, cos he never asked me not to invite my list of ppl. Hhmm, given that he is not here now, only I face people and whenever they came to know of this news from someone and ask me why I didnt tell them, I will have to answer which is like not very exciting to me and abnormal. Ah, all confusions within myself. At the end, I lost that chinna chinna happiness :'(

Blog Naayagan

[Somehow this thought came to my mind day before yesterday]

Remember, the argument between Nayakar and his daughter in the movie Nayagan? Athae scene, blog world pathi irunthaa epdi irukumnu oru chinna karpanai.

Daughter: "ippadi daily post poatutu irukeenghalae, nenja thottu sollungha pa, neengha seiyarthu thappu'nu unghalaku thonalai?"

Nayakar (kitta vanthu, thalaiya aatitu): "illa, thonalai. 4 per comment panraanghanna ethuvumae thappu ilai."

Nayagan theme music continues ..tan tan tan tan tan tantatan,...tadaiiiinnnnnn

hehe :D
