Adha epdi sollalaam?

A's colleague oruthar oru party arrange pani, 1 month munaadi invite panaar. adhaan first invite apdinu, naangha polaamnu nenachom. The party was exactly the day when we were supposed to reach US (after our trip to India). we were supposed to reach in the morning, so we thought we could go for this one, scheduled in the evening. engha ketta neram, varappa flight neriya problem aayidichu and we reached 17 hrs late. party light a eduthukitom.

apram casuala oru mail anupinom. That guy replied asking why we didnt turn up. romba akkaraya kaekaarnu nenachu, flight delay nu oru sad icon elaam potu A replied. paatha, avar, "pl let us know if you are not coming to our event. You said you were going to be there so we included you in the food/drink count and seating."

enaku orae kashtama pochu. eppadi avar ippadi sollalam'nu orae polambal. konja naal pattathu, to realize that he was probably just practical and not rude. namma oorla ippadi solla maataangha, so it was difficult for me to handle.

on a lighter note, I imagined how would be the reaction if same thing happened in our country. adhuvum oru nalla panchayathu nadakara gramathula (coimbatore style) ippadi oruthar solli irunthaa badhil epdi vanthu irukum...

#1: "inimae engha vootu visaeshathuku vara mudiyalana, koopdra appavae solidunga. erpaadu geerpaadu panrathuku sowgariyama pogum."
#2: (kovathoda): "eley, nee adutha vaati koopdara varaikum ethuku lae..ippavae solipudren lae...un vootu visaeshathuku naanum varamaaten, en vootu visaeshathuku neeyum varatha lae"

eley varta lae :))

Nappaasai

Joined a gym near (?) my new home finally. The instructor is nice and has been advising me what to do - diet, classes, other tips etc. elaathayum kaetutu, ithellam eppa senju eppa nadanthu nu yosichutae treadmill'a jog panitu irunthen. apdiyae keezha iruntha moving belt paathen. cinema'la kaatra maathri - first shot'a chinnavana hero kaamichutu, odara cycle wheel focus panitu, apdiyae next shot'la periya hero kaamipaangha. antha maathri, antha belt move aayitae irukum pothae..hhmmmm sari ethuku veena solitu.

Current source of excitement

Listening to these 80's songs ...

* Madai thiranthu thaavum nadhi alai naan (Nizhalgal)
* Adiyae manam nilluna nikaathadi (Neengal kaetavai)
* Aatha aathorama vaariya (Payanangal Mudivathillai)
* Engeyum eppothum (Ninaithalae Enikkum)
* Singaari saraku nalla saraku (Kaaki sattai)

All the above songs are just fabulous. There is a quick sense of relief and excitement and happiness in my heart as soon as listen to them :-) I have been watching the recorded dance and singing competition shows (Vijay TV and Kalaignar TV). athula use panna songs..wow too good :-)

my thedal continues ...
