Yesterday ..

My brother has come from Chennai as he is not feeling well. Viral fever maathri iruku. Though the temperature has reduced, he is very tired and his knee is aching a lot. Anyway, this post is not abt his health or bad mood.

Yesterday, my sis took him to the hospital. When the doctor asked him a few questions abt the symptoms and the previous treatment and all, he asked

Doctor: "Injection engha poataangha?"
Brother (dulla): "Chennai'la Doctor"
Doctor (kadupula): "Ada, un odambula engha pa poataangha"

My sis came home, described this incident and I was LOL :D. She said "angha siripu varala dii. ivan paavama ukaanthutu irunthaan. ippa solrappa siripu varuthu" :-)

[I tried writing the conversation in English, but Tamizh'la solra effect varalai ;-)]

Have fun!

Punch

[Trying not to reflect my mood and want to post something good!]

Last week, I was down with slight fever and a bad-blocked throat. I had to get something for A, so asked my sis to accompany me. Amma and sis always like eating out, me not that crazy. After completing the shopping, thought I would get her something to eat, so we both went to a bakery. Actually, I took a break from work and I wanted to come back for my Yoga class. So, I was alerting myself not to eat anything.

Sis always like spicy eatables, esp chicken, so she was glimpsing through the items. The so-far-good eyes of mine turned to the other side and noticed the ice cream categories. Immediately, I changed my vision (huh?!) to something else and warned myself "J, this stuff not only spoils your today's class but makes your yesterday's tiring-abdomen workout in vain. Dont get distracted". I obeyed that alarm.

After couple of minutes, I asked myself "OK, let me atleast go and check the ice cream catalogue alone and get the satisfaction of eating it. no harm in that ryt?". Innerself accepted this request, so I proceeded to the counter. My eyes didnt only notice the written-items kept on the top of the transparent refrigerator but saw the variety of items kept inside it. Ah, colorful to eyes to see the white pogai (what to say in this context?) covering the ice cream varieties and mouth watering too!!

Again to myself "Let me have only one kutty ice cream. that doesnt affect my exercise no?.". This time, no permission, only information :-). After sometime "So, only today I am going to have, why not try a different variety? let me have fruit punch instead of regular icecream" ;-) Yes, I have selected my fav fruit, Mango flavour :-)

Paid for it and waited for sometime till they prepared it. That guy got a glass full of icecream topped with a cherry and wafer. Woo hoooo :-) happaa evlooo periya glass, fulla ice cream Whewwww:-) Didnt know what to eat first and was taking the spoon, straw, wafer...my sis told "Alayaadha di" :p Quickly I ate the topped stuff. Totally forgot abt the aerobics, my goal of reducing some kgs, abt the people in the bakery, more importantly my fever, cold. Oru oru spoon'aa started eating and enjoyed the yummy, the only-unhurting mango fruit "punch"!

Aaatha naan pass aayiten

Sister and I have started learning car driving. Ah, having fun early in the morning :-) Dont know why/how I enjoy. probably a new stuff; change in my daily routine. Having my sis with me is too good. nice company I have for this class. Both of us getting up early (5.45Am) and tease each other when we drive, oattify others in the road when we mess up things etc etc :-)

Anyway, we went to get our learner license today. Our instructor has asked us to stay very cool and said that we need not prepare for the test. But the owner guy asked us to read the sample questions (230) in some book and then wanted us to appear for the test.

My sis took a look at all questions yesterday itself. Surprisingly, me who take every silly thing/test seriously, did not prepare till today morning. We left home by 10AM, filled some forms in the driving school, and started to RTA office. Chumma started reading that book and was answering wrong for most of the questions I tried :-) my sis was making fun and giving correct answers. "kadaisila naan mattum pass aayida poren"nu vera kindal panna.

When we were waiting outside, I slowly covered first 100 questions (dho da:-)) and was like completely cool. Angha kooda koothu adichutu irunthom :-) We saw ppl giving the test and ccoming out with the learner licence. My sis then commented "ivloo sirichutu, apram licence kedaikaama veliya vanthaa, elaarum kevalama nenaipaangha..illa di?" nu. udanae naan "pass'o fail'o, sirichutae veliya vanthudu. apdiyae chumma namma bag la irunthu oru paper kaila pidichutu vathuru" :D

Our turn came, appo kooda coola irunthen. All the questions were from the book and we both scored 18/20 each. Yipeee :-)

Ammakitta we asked to pray for the test ;-), so we called her after coming out of the hall. Appo amma sonna statement adhu "enna, 2 perum test mudichutu, Aatha naan pass aayiten'nu phone panreenghala" :-)

Have a good weekend!

Bday - Morning Surprise from A

After talking to A till 12.15 in the morning, I was browsing, bloghopping till 2AM and slept. Got up by 6'oclock with my brother's call. Continued attending calls from my cousin brother, mother-in-law. I was all sleepy even after talking to them :p Started sleeping again. Our door bell rang; thought its our watchman's announcement for drinking water or milk guy. So, didnt care to get up and open the door; Amma got up and went, she came to my room and said, "somebody is standing there with a bouquet. Should be for you. Poi paaru"nu. Tadaah! avlo thaan, me woke up :D Rushed to the entrance, opened the door.

"J?", the person asked. I was eager to grab the flowers to know the sender before answering his questions, hehe :p I nodded my head; he handed over the beautiful, pleasant Yellow + Red roses :-) He doubled the happiness by giving another parcel to me, I was like "This one too??" :p That guy left. The gift was wrapped with a dark red color gift paper and I saw the gift note on it. My eye balls were moving left and right to read all the lines at once (Adada):p Firstly, it saw the signature "H" (Husband :p) and confirmed it was from him :-). I felt really senti, happy, blushing etc etc after reading the actual note (see below pic) :-)



"Naakosam puttaeva? -- enakaaga pirandhaaya?" How creative, sweet message :-)

I came to the hall. Amma was also eager to see the gift. Guessed the gift and I was restless to confirm it :p Opened carefully as to not to tear the wrapper. Yipeee! it was a big, cute, sweet, yellow teddy bear :-):-) Me all smiles :-):-):-) Shouting "Yehhhh" and my mom was making fun of me :-). I kept the teddy bear on my lap, pampered it for sometime :-) I wanted to talk to A immediately to let him know that I got his gift, so logged on to YM and was expressing my happiness. He called me immediately and was simply smiling to see (or hear) me happy, singing, hurrahing and pampering him :-) :-)

It was really a surprise, cos he does not like celebrating bdays and all, so thought he would not take pain to gift me :p I had a tough time getting a gift for his bday too.

The stuff that I got as my bday gift:



Flowers, Teddy bear from A, a greeting card from my brother and a kutty purse cum handbag from my mother-in-law.

Last but not the least one--other than the above stuff, I got wishes and blessings from a few relatives and friends (via phone calls, e-mails and blog). Thanks to them too :-)

Cheers!
