Nostalgia

Build up: I was in my 3rd grade. Studying Hindi was like tasting a bittergourd for me back then :P There was a paat - Birbal in Bal Bharathi. Learning or rather mugging up a three line answer was so tough. (Poor me!) I tried real hard to learn but failed.
Memoir: Everyday my dad used to drop me at the bus stop where the "makkan" van(I still wonder why did they call that a makkan(butter) van! should be the pet name for my school van) would pick me up to school. Dad would always carry my heavy bag to the bus stop and load the responsibility to the conductor bhaiyya. This special day, dad missed the bag and I neva bothered about it. When I landed the school and got down from the bus, I started looking for my bag, I could not find it anywhere! Poor me started crying. I even thought that the conductor bhaiyya should have thrown it on the way for some mysterious reason. I told the driver bhaiyya to search for my bag on the way when he goes for the second trip pick up.
Was wondering if I should even go to class, what would "Sunithi miss" say. I was the top rank holder, was bothered about my prestige ;) Getting any kinda punishment would be really very hard as top ranking students only see others being punished and they are proud that they have done their homework neatly. There was a small tint of joy at the corner of my heart that I need not write the Birbal test as I left my test copy in my bag which the conductor bhaiyya lost :D(I did not study for the test). The whole day was like a holiday. Though I was there in the class, I did not have my copies to take notes and I did not have books to read. I was curiously looking at fellow mates doing their class work(kinda felling proud with my mind voice saying - "losers, dekho I am totally free today"*evil smile*). Birbal test was post lunch(I did not have lunch as conductor bhaiyya lost my bag with the lunch box, shared lunch with my friends).Sunithi miss exempted me from writing the test as I did not have the test copy(which was in my bag. The coductor bhaiyya had lost it.) The "duffer" guy(he turned out to be genius later :)) sitting next to me had to write the test. He was trying real hard and hoping that "studiuos" Ishwarya would have studied and she would tell the answers."Poor" fella he had no idea that I was equally dumb as he was.
5 more minutes for the period to get over, when my mom arrived at the class door! (I was wondering what she was doing!) and there she was holding my school bag. I had forgotten the bag and started to school without the books and copies :P My mom noticed that lying near the couch and immediately she brought it to school. The whole class started laughing including Sunithi miss and I felt sheepish :D
Now, was leaving/forgetting the bag in home was intentional or.... ? Let me just end it here :D

Random thoughts :)

“Beep beep, beep beep, SMS...”, this was a regular text beep (more like a suprabatham) she received every morning. She was pretty sure it was him! Who was he and how were they related? He left the school when she joined. It was a weird kinda friendship. It started with orkut, ”Hey! Do you know me? We are from the same school & same class”. May be he was a text friend, a virtual friend, someone to dump her feelings! what so ever, they were real close. Text messages would touch a limit of 500 per day on either end, exploiting the technology to its utmost level. Probably it was a nightmare to the network operator! There would be rare calls and wishes for birthdays lasting a few hours and even a whole night once. Few fights and lots of apologies. Time passes by. Many things change and the texts reduce. They are still close but nothing much to share. She craves for the same old times and he calls it maturity!

Project "Mango"

I was chopping mangoes in the morning for making pickles! Hold on, I was just helping my mom in the process, just the chopping part; later stuffs were to be done by my mom. :P It took me some 20 minutes to cut three mangoes.
As I was chopping that I realized that the process of cooking can also be compared to SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) :D. The first phase being planning where my mom decides if she should make a sambhar or pickle using mango or let it ripe and consume it as a fruit. It was planned that mango is to be cut and made into pickle. This is followed by the requirement analysis. My mom being the service vendor collects all the requirements from her clients, the clients being my dad and grandparents. The requirements can be one among these three different types of pickles viz. thokku, mavadu or avakkai. LOL.

I was been outsourced by my mom for cutting mango when I realized that in any cooking process 40% of the time is spent on chopping vegetables which is almost similar to the design documentation phase and once that is done the chopped mango goes to the cut phase. (Here cut phase doesn't mean cutting the mango but cooking the same. How ironic!) So actually in the cut phase my mom adds all the masala salt and everything to the mango to make it spicy! Now the project mango is implemented! Once the development process is over, the project is set to the QA team (my brother of course) who would do a quality analysis on how delicious the food is! He comes with hell a lot of complaints and some fixes are done with the masala, curry powder and salt. Finally the project "Mango" releases on the dining table and the Clients (my dad and grandparents) accept that! They often come with positive and negative feedbacks and depending on that the maintenance phase continues with her new attempts and new recipes 

My frightful experiences in the kitchen... ;)

Quick Gun Murugun is a western spoof with attitude, features outlandish songs, outrageous melodrama and crazy action sequences. Quick Gun Murugun is an unlikely Superhero with Guntastic powers. The film tells the story of Quick Gun Murugun - a South Indian karmic sincere cowboy whose duty is to protect the cows.The movie revolves around mis-adventures of Quick Gun Murugun When faced with a world-conquering arch villain restaurant owner who wants to create the ultimate McDosa chain using beef, Quick Gun enters into an epic battle of vegetarianism vs. non-vegetarianism that spans time and space, from a small South Indian village to an Indian heaven and then finally to a cosmopolitan Mumbai across 25 years.

The movie starts with the dialogue-"namma oorla hero ku ennikume maranam kidaydhu, I am a cow boy and I want to save the cow.. but HOW???".. hehe.. then within the next 2 minutes the hero dies and goes to the "indian" heaven.. whr he watches the dance practice sessions of oorvasi, ramba and menakai.. lol.. then his turn to meet Mr.chitragupta comes and he gives a petition that he has to go back to the earth to save the cows. chitragupta grants permission to go back saying,"vegetarianism is the need of the hour :P".. lol..

few remarkable characters in the movie are "RICE PLATE REDDY"- the arch villain whose right hand is "ROWDY M.B.A.", this movie has really comic characters! "MANGO DOLLY" is a club dancer who helps QGM by informing RICE PLATE'S plots against him and foiling his evil plans.Her hobbies include cooking and loving QGM secretly!! "LOCKET LOVER" is QGM's lady love from college who is dead but talks to QGM whenever he opens the locket, his well wisher with innovative ideas for starting new business rather than being just serving and protecting! "GUN POWDER" is one of rice plate's men who captures a vegetarian hotel and forces the men to serve non vegetarian beef dosa..lol..

The sequel of this movie is "the good, the bad, the ugly".. hehehe.. :)

"oru tumbler whiskey, oru masala dosa" is what this cowboy loves to eat :D

I really njoid the stunt scene in a farm of coconut trees called the "INSTITUTE OF COCONUT TREE CLIMBING" :P,

The lodge where the cowboy stays - "THE WELLKNOWN LODGE".. how well do the ppl kno this lodge?!?! u kno? me kno? every one knows!! :D.. hehe..

There occurs a "retransmission error" when QGM is sent bk to the earth by Mr. Chitragupta 2 fite against the arch villain..(the hero is sent bk without his jarring bright clothes!!lolzz..)

Mc.Dosa is the restaurant owned by rice plate. He wants to make t the world's best restaurant by making the beef dosa with Dr.Django.

There is a yaadon ki baarath effect when QGM meets his elder brother and anni after 25 yrs in his next birth(in the Om shanthi om style)

there is a classic duel in a traffic jam with Rowdy MBA in cowboy style :P.
Few other dialogues that i really loved

Remove your guns I say!!
Leave the ladies I say!!
Better you run a telephone booth I say!!
Dai Rice plate come out I say!!
adu private roadu veli alungalaukku no parking :P
Lugguage only this.. hahaha :D
mind it rascal I wil teach you how to behave!!

The ultimate beauty is when they picture QGM following the traditional Indian culture. He "applies chandan and kumkum for the bullets before going to the final climax stunt!!!":D

Finally QGM takes a visvaroopam with 8 hands each holding a revolver takes the Rice plate to the terrace of Mc. Dosa restaurant and shoots him to death...The movie ends with the dialogue------

"Karam bhumi mera aangan hai
terrace mera neel gagan hai
ye pura duniya mera vatan hai :P"

english version -

"the earth is my bed,
sky is my ceiling,
whole creation is my native place"
