Hilarious..

This time I have decided to pen some hilarious comedies that I have enjoyed recollecting from movies and dramas.. I had always enjoyed comedies particularly those of Kaundamani + Senthil.. Though every one would mention that Karakattakkaran as their greatest they both featured much earlier than that time.. If you had the opportunity of watching out on old tamil movies, these two had done a magnificent job to entertain the audience with their distinguished sense of humour..

If I remember correct it was Vaidhegi Kaathirunthaal, where Kaundamani appears as a light man who rents petromox lights for functions and other festive occasions.. Senthil appears as an assistant to him and enquires with him how the light glows, kaundamani with all the patience in the world explains the parts as mantle and filter, and the net and how it actually glows and produces light.. Senthil reacts saying how foolish he was and how this mantle could generate light and breaks it.. Kaundamani gives a fantastic reaction, and poor guy has only one that he can rent out.. There immediately comes an order for the light and he goes wild..

And there are many such small clashes between these guys, which are quite interesting and many of us would have witnessed their ability on the silver screen.. One more example was this scene, the movie name slipped my mind, Senthil comes and asks kaundar how he is very successful in running his bicycle business and for that kaundar proudly replies saying it required brains to be so.. Spontaneously senthil says that was the reason why he was asking, how he was really successful.. That was just another stomach crusher..

There were many movies which made descent profits only because of these guys, and they have really given masterpieces together like Chinna Gownder, Ponnumani, Ullathai Allitha, Murai Maman etc. I had also enjoyed hearing S Ve Shekar who is greatly remembered for his timing comedy.. If you really enjoy descent comedy, I recommend some of his works like One More Exorcist, Crazy Thieves (is a cracker), Kaatula Mazhai, Vaal Paiyan, Ayiram Uthai Vangia Aboorva Sigamani, Kathula Poo, Periathambhi, Ellorum Vaanga, Alva, Oru Sontha Veedu Vadakai Veedakirathu, Adhrishta Kaaran, Vanna Kolangal Series & many more.. He has done some fantastic work in the movies too, Kathanayakan, Thangamani Rangamani, Sahadevan Mahadevan are really worth mentioning… These are archives which u can collect and watch any time anywhere..

There was a funny event which happened today, which prompted me to write this one, I was passing by a four way signal and almost regularly cross this point for reaching office.. For a long time there was no signal, only red was glowing, then I kept my hand on a sensor for getting the signal.. I was awaiting some response for this action of mine and about 3 minutes later a 5 yr old kid came and told me that I was holding the sensor for the signal which is for the other side of the road..

Isolations create Nostalgia..

After a long, long time Im putting pen to paper with an article which would be a journal of my early days.. That was the time when every one of our cousins, brothers, sisters were in adolescence.. My cousins were in the time of their high school academics.. We were pretty young that time and that time there were plenty of opportunities which enabled us meet up and freak out for a brief period of time.. As Im proud to assert that we guys were a big gang and every time we met up it was real fun..

The time when dad, dad's elder & younger brothers were together as a joint family and we still cherish the memories of that time, as by chance or choice we cannot make it to that kind of intimacy.. Though ppl talk about privacy these days and joint families are not the present, I enjoyed the values of the joint families with instances like fighting with my brothers, watching movies as a gang of 10-15 ppl, enjoying vacations with our cousins, cauvery bath, fabulous lunch, unconditional and invaluable love from our grand parents, the fun, the laughter, the togetherness etc..

Since isolations are a part of life, I understand and appreciate the realistic situations.. What stops us from looking back at those values? Though we are all professionals and have responsibilities nowadays and running in the rat race for money, I sincerely feel that those values are not to be forgotten or forsaken.. Though we send emails some times to our relatives, how many of us are really sincere in making contact? Which stops us from doing so? Money? Time? Responsibilities? If one utters so, I would counter saying that they are mere reasons..

I am really blunt in putting this forth, have been trying to make contact with many of my bosom relationships, but unfortunately many failed to materialize into contact.. It does not take anything to initiate a conversation, nowadays there are hundreds of free media thru which we can get back the touch.. Im really proud to say that I have at least 1 friend who has been in touch with me right from the age of 3 yrs or 4 yrs..

I don’t write these articles just for fun.. Though I have failed on umpteen occasions, I will continue to do so, I don’t want to overlook these nostalgic values at any point.. Hope this has some positive effect..

Stubborn Stove

My schedule off late has gone for a big trip because of a simple issue.. Since I have moved and currently staying alone, I have to run the show alone, which includes cleaning house (mopping), vessels, cutting vegetables, cooking and of course eating.. Such a curse.. Since these are recurring tasks and doing them every day seems boring and monotonous.. Slowly got acclimatized to the requirements I was getting organized day by day.. Was really happy that I was able to accomplish everything in a day and was getting up by early morning (6:00 AM) every day.. Unexpectedly all my schedules got disrupted due to a small problem..

I have a electric hot plate burner at home which has 3 plates with different sizes and heating capacities.. Since I didn't want to blow lot of money on furnishings, I had bought it from a second hand shop and seemed to work fine for some time.. Suddenly I had a strange problem with that one which started heating automatically even before switching on.. Once I hooked this one to the power point, it started heating automatically.. The regulator was no more working in one plate and was running in full heat every time.. The other two plates were still fine.. But this started heating once I plugged in to the power socket.. Still managing to work with this, whenever I wanted to cook I plugged the cable and was using the same as is..

Then I wanted to check out what was occurring inside that and decided to open that stuff and tried to look what was inside? Lot of dust, and ash… I thought these things are common since it was an old equipment.. But I was noticing the regulators and testing the power at different junctions.. It was okay and when I assembled it back, and switched on the power, it was regrettably not functioning.. None of the plates is functioning right now even the grill is gone..

So sharing dinner with other colleagues and reaching home late in the night sleeping late and getting up really late.. Back to square one.. Today I reached office by 11 AM..

Futbol Freak Outs..

Though most of my friends and acquaintances enquire about the world cup fieber in germany, I had a rather different taste of it.. I had been a generally lazy nerd off late, not really interested in collaboration activities.. Though on site experience plays a vital role in the making of this kinda qualities in a person..

Though I have been generally away from home for a long period of time, I had really missed some opportunities which I regret.. I could have easily gone to a location where local futbol champs watch the world cup together and with a lot of enthu they cheer for their nations, small time betting, small fights, then cheering at the end of the game, having some speciality beverages, generally enjoying the day.. I have not been a part of such parties and started to regret those things.. Though we had such an occasion during the quarter finals, where Germany and Argentina played and was a cracker of a match.. We had all gone to a near by pub and cheerladding for germany.. Though germany won the contest it was a real tough fight unlike the other big league matches, either they were one sided or luck factor involved.. And the greatest thing about that match was both the teams played clean futbol..

Apart from that I didn't really enjoy any match of this FIFA 2006.. Italians were lucky most of the times and some how they managed to lift the cup courtesy Zinedine Zidane.. I didn't like the guy very much in the first match which I watched him against brazil, but became a fan of his on the semis.. It was a great game and in the finals too, he played a tremendous role.. But quite unfortunate.. Because things dont happen as we plan right..

All the time, I was hunting reasons for safety and comfort for missing those things and at this point feelings of regret started creeping, coz I have to wait for this for 4 long yrs and that too I don’t know I would be in any sort of proximity to those venues…
