The day started off normal.. Got the good news that someone gave birth to a baby girl.. Lot of baby birth news off late and they have all been girl babies.. :-)

A client was very impressed with the work that Manasika Foundation does.. He said he has adopted three kids in the Andaman Islands.. Silent a yaarukume theriyaama people have been doing a lot of charity work.. Okay as I wrote that sentence a topic dawned on me.. Idhu verikam topic blank a than irundhudhu.. Phew!! :-)

There are celebrities who do charity work on their birthdays, anniversaries, katchi thondan porandha naal, katchi thondan theekulicha naal, edhir katchi kaaran veetla thirudu pona naal, first padam release aana naal, etc etc… Charity work pannitu ella kozhandhaingaloda photo eduthu endhendha paper la endhendha photo varanum nu decide panni, idha oru mukkiyamana publicity velaya panraanga..

I initially used to think, why do they have to make a scene out of all this.. Quiet a pannitu pogalaame.. Then I realised, even if it is done ‘only’ for the reason of publicity, if it is going to motivate others to do some real charity work, I guess there isn’t anything wrong.. People doing it quietly could be considered humble and modest.. But I somehow think that they can endorse their work and it is far better than endorsing a product.. There are a lot of people who buy products just because it is endorsed by their favourite celebrity.. Ethana per Ranbir Kapoor kaaga Docomo ku maarnaanga?? Why not apply the same concept for charity??

Once it reaches people it could inspire the genuine ones to start a Charitable Trust or adopt a few kids or provide for the education of a few kids.. Even if people provide food for an orphanage for a day, it will make a huge difference..

We were planning on conducting events for kids at orphanages.. Some music, dance and movies would be fun and it is not going to happen everyday for them.. That day one novel idea I noticed from the Manasika Foundation team was the Mehendhi.. The girls had mehendhi cones and applied for all the kids who were interested.. It was really nice to see the excited looks on those kids’ faces..

Am half asleep.. Have nothing to blog about.. Interesting stuff happened.. But I somehow do not wish to blog on them.. With eyes half closed I was surfing through the TV channels when I saw a song from the movie “Bbuddah.. Hoga tera baap”.. You can’t avoid admiring the man.. I have not seen any of his earlier days movies.. But I have always been a big fan of his..

The main reason I respect him is not his acting skills.. It is the hard work that he puts in even at this age.. Must be inspiring a lot of young actors as always.. Tall and towering figure.. No better actor to endorse a suit brand – Reid & Tailor.. In fact he can endorse everything and anything.. Pepsi ads were awesome.. And so were the Cadbury ones..

Pretty down-to-earth… Elegant.. Awesome voice.. Both the singing and the talking is music to the ears.. Kaun Banega Crorepathi is a show that can never be hosted by anyone else except him.. People should even stop trying.. I don’t think even Shahrukh can do justice in replacing this man..

Loved him in KANK.. Such a beautiful role done so well.. A hero at this age who can pull off character roles and mass hero roles, effortlessly..

Looks great with Jaya Bachchan, both on and off the screen.. Does look nice with Hemamalini as well.. I have not watched ‘Black’ yet.. But I guess he got the National Award for that movie..

He sings.. Dances in his own style.. Has done some stunts and all in the latest movie.. Very active on Twitter.. I wonder if he sleeps.. I wonder if he gets enough sleep for his age..

Known as the first family of Bollywood is not something ordinary.. When you say ‘The Bachchans’ you mean class.. Sophistication.. Talent.. Loads of media attention.. Rulers.. A dynasty.. :-)

When I was a kid, I didn’t have a laptop, iPod, Blackberry, PS3, Wifi or iPhone. I played outside with friends, bruised my knees, made up stories and played hide and seek… I ate what my mom made. I would think twice before I said “no” to my parents! Life wasn’t hard, it was good & I survived. Re-post this if you appreciate the way you were raised. Thanks Mom and Dad, for making me who I am! :)

2. Today has been a pretty serious day I guess.. Or I am not able to keep my eyes open..

Take care.. Until my next blog!! :-)

Sunday!!! Seekarama got up. Jai had organised a visit to a home called Solomon Orphanage in Alwarthirunagar. The home had around 40 kids. A lot of Jai’s friends had come and they all spent a good time with the kids. Kozhandhayoda kozhandhaya ikiyam aaitaanga.

I as usual took the job of a photographer. There was a professional photographer who had come. But somehow the kids were more interested in posing for my photos. Honour. :-)

The kids are actually pretty witty and intelligent. I was hoping they received a good education. A kid came and tried to pull my hair clip. Got it released from his hand in the last minute.

Another kid came and specifically asked me, “Unga name enna??”. I said Sangeetha. Was taken aback when she said, “en name kuda Sangeetha than”. Was wondering how she correct a came and asked me. The VP of Mansika is also named Sangeetha. :-)

I was wearing a jeans and shirt. A kid came and sat next to me. Naa vaaya vechitu summa illama enna pa nu keten. He was like, “Illa, neenga yen ka boys dress potrukkenga??”. I really did not know what to say. I just did not expect that question. Eeee nu asadu vazhinjutu I kept quiet.

Some songs were played and the kids were dancing. I kept clicking away to glory. There was a classical dancer (carnatic dancer according to Jai) amongst Jai’s friends. He was dancing with all the kids. Was good to watch them have fun.

Time for lunch. They said a nice Jesus prayer before eating. We all served the food. As usual serving water was more than serving food.

Okay, now that I have narrated what happened at the home, I have a request. Around 10 kids in the home need their school fees to be paid. If anyone reading this blog would be interested in donating you can mail me at amirsang@gmail.com.

5. Ganga’s blog. Yet to read the Dosa one fully. But the past tense of bring is brung!! Too good. We all had a great laugh yesterday evening.

Have a wonderful weel ahead. Take care. Until my next blog!! :-) :-)

One of the very quiet weddings that I have been to. The hall was full but there was no music played. A very sophisticated wedding I would say. In fact we were the ones who were making maximum noise there by pulling each others’ legs and laughing out loud. :-)

The bride and groom were as always looking lovely together. I was not able to understand the wedding proceedings. We were all sitting and chit-chatting for a while. Harsh who is studying in the US has come down. Suja and I really missed troubling him all this while. Today we got a chance to trouble him as much as possible. :-)

Pulling people’s leg is a piece of cake for most of us. But today it happened effortlessly. Hitesh who had brought his wife and kid along yesterday came alone today. He called someone aunty. She, in her defence, told him, “you are only uncle, you are a kid of a father”. Three seconds later all of us burst out laughing. She later realised that she should have said ‘Father of a kid’. :-) Spelling mistake.

Indha maari we were talking and laughing a lot. We in fact recollected most of the stuff that we laughed about during our 3 years of articleship. :-) it was real good fun.

We gifted gold rings for the bride and the groom. And like in every wedding we were the largest group on stage and we stayed on stage the longest. :-)

Food was nice. Like college kids most of us were eating from one plate. Countless number of gulab jamuns and countless scoops of icecream. :-) :-)

Super fun and laughter!! :-)

Total madness!! :-) Day started very early for BNI like every Friday. It was an awesome meeting. Like one of the visitors said, there were a lot of wit and wise cracks :-) some comments were totally hilarious. Amidst which loads of business got done :-)

Got back to office and it was phone calls all the way. Client calls. Friends calling up to talk regarding the ring ceremony in the evening. Ore the calling.

Got back home and left for the venue. Thought I was early. Two friends were already there. 2 of our friends who did their CA articleship with us are getting married tomorrow. We all went for their ring ceremony and sangeet this evening. We all met after a very long time. And ya as usual nowadays we meet only at someone’s wedding :-) We were kalaaichifying each other and having fun. The groom was looking great in his rich looking sherwani. The bride was looking cute in all pink including her face :-) She is one of those girls who does not need to apply blush. It is already there. Permanently :-)

When these 2 were friends I thought they looked very nice together. I even told them that on a lighter side. It is nice that they are getting together for life now. They looked great together as always. :-)

They entertainment started with the family members dancing to very nicely choreographed songs. It was real fun to watch.

Then the ring ceremony happened amongst all the whistling and clapping.

During dinner, the DJ’ing started. We were eating and watching the family members get together and dance for the music played by the DJ. We girls could not resist dancing because the songs he was playing. The madness started. We danced crazy. It was great fun. From Bhangra to dappanguthu everything was there. :-) Even the elders of the family joined in the dancing :-)

Smiley Junction:

1. BNI meeting. :-) too much fun

2. The ring ceremony. Dinner was nice. I think all the items that were available in the hotel were kept in the buffet. :-)

3. I really enjoyed the dancing. Ganga and sujatha were awesome company

4. Had a few nice phone conversations. Laughed a lot :-)

Have fun ppl. Great weekend. Tomorrow will be another wedding blog :-) Take care. Until my next blog :-) :-)

This was the song I started humming the moment it started raining this evening.. Then a couple of minutes later, I realised that I had left my helmet outside.. Rushed to get it… Was fully drenched in less than a minute.. The rain was pretty heavy.. Even though it did not make the weather any better, kodai mazhai is always fun.. We all run like kids to watch the rain.. :-)

Since then I have been singing this song.. Of course when I was humming in office, one of my colleagues asked loudly and he sounded pretty shocked too, “Yaarunga adhu azhardhu??”.. Before someone caught me I myself owned up to the ‘crime’.. Asingapattaanda autokaaran range ku obviously everybody else laughed.. :-)

Awesome song.. I have no idea of who sang, who wrote and who composed.. But lovely song.. I dont remember seeing the video of this song also.. All I can remember was that it was black and white.. Okay so I thought I will recollect some of the old movies and songs that I have heard… If any of the readers could recollect good memories, I am happy…. :-) Vera topic illa.. That also is a reason..

Old movies have had class.. Some are still aired on TV and people do not miss to watch them.. Yesterday ‘Kaadhalika Neramillai” was aired on K tv.. Really nice movie.. Nagesh’s humour is timeless.. The way he says “Wonderful”.. That scene where he scares Balaiah by narrating a horror story.. Chanceless.. What Rajnikanth and Vadivel did in Chandramukhi was no match for this scene.. :-)

Vanjikotai Vaaliban.. I dont remember much of the story but the song “Kannum Kannum” is one of my favourites.. Padmini and Vaijayanthi Mala are the best dancers in that genre till date.. They look so beautiful and classy even in black and white.. :-)

There is one song which I have heard a lot.. I think the actor was Sivaji.. “Naan kavignanum illai, nalla rasiganum illa, kaadhalenum aasai illaa bommayum illai”.. Unimaginable lyrics.. Awesome creativity.. :-)

One more favourite movie is “Thillaana Mohanambal” about which I had blogged a few days back.. The train comedy scene.. “Maraindhirundhu paarkum marmam enna” song.. Jill jill ramamani.. Too good.. :-)

There is a movie called “Poova Thalaya”.. I have watched that movie so many times that I remember many of the dialogues too.. :-)

Kaalangalil aval vasantham.. Sathiyama padam peru therla.. Really sweet song..

Server Sundaram.. Another movie that I have watched many times.. “Avalukenna azhagiya mugam”.. His dance movements are so totally cool.. :-)

“Azhagiya midhilai nagarinile”…

“Chithiram Pesudhadi”

“Maasilaa unmai kaadhale”

Guess I could go on listing.. The lyrics have been written so well.. No point in comparing to the current generation lyrics.. :-)

Weekend is here.. A couple of friends are getting married during the weekend.. To each other.. :-) Have fun.. Take care… Until my next blog.. :-) :-)

Okay!! Finally I have decided to blog on an actual topic… If you let your imagination run wild when you saw the topic and that is the sole reason that you are reading this, very sarry I am not responsible for all that.. :-)

I have been wanting to blog on how marriages happen, the cost, the waste (hey that rhymes!!), etc for a few months now.. Today also I am tired and sleepy.. But I couldnt bear to write some mokka again today.. So here goes..

Firstly I have not liked attending marriages when I was young(er).. Because of this thozhi ponnu concept.. Oru chinna innocent kozhandhaya paatha udane, “Vaama kanna poi andha akka pakathula ukkandhuko, odu odu”.. Naansense.. Yaaruko kalyaanam aagarthuku naa yen smoke ku nadula kashta pattu ukaaranum? Ore kannellam eriyum.. Ore tears.. Mandharam laam puriyaadhu (ippo verikam puriyala).. Bore adikudhe nu kannathula kai vechi ukaandha once my dad’s maama said, “Kazhudha adi vaanguva, kannathulendhu kai edu!!”.. Enna koduma sir idhu..

The jewellery!! Earrings bigger than my ears.. Kashta pattu potu kaadhulendhu rathame varum.. Yen ipdilam? apdinu engamma va paathu keka mudiyadhu… “Gold potruka, jaakardhaya iru”, “Ennama kozhandhaiku ivlo naga potruka, un pakathulaye vechiko”, etc etc from all the aunties and paatis.. Aaarggghhh!!!

This pattu paavada chattai was another pain.. Paavaadai will be very long.. Once I tripped on the stairs and fell.. Someone saw me fall and helped me up.. I was so scared and it was a big fall.. My head was spinning.. All I could realise was that my grandmom was dragging me to my mother to tell her that I fell.. Literal dragging.. Someone gave me water.. Naa edho viddha kaatra maari people were around me.. Yen ma paathu poga koodadha?? Buddhiye illa unaku.. (I was too young to talk back) Some were visibly happy that I fell (haiyo haiyo), a few pretended to feel bad (haiyo haiyo haiyo), a couple of ppl genuinely felt bad (idhula orthar than thanni kuduthaanga).. It is unbelievable.. But since then I have been scared of descending on the stairs.. I am always extra cautious when getting down.. I know, no comments.. :-)

I hated make-up.. These ladies who will be in their kalyana age have this pleasure in dressing up kids.. Naa ketena?? They will sit and appify lipstick on all the innocent kids.. Compact, eye shadow, mascara, mannangatti nu ore ragalai.. I was a victim as always.. “Unga ponnu evlo azhaga iruka??”, they tell my mom.. Poi nu enakum theriyum.. I just used to sit there and stare at their dumb faces.. Torture..

Okay, so this WAS my aversion towards marriages for various small reasons.. I was not thinking about how much the bride’s father spent on the wedding and all.. But now at this age, I ponder a lot about it.. So here comes the cost and the waste:

NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE WHO HAS CONDUCTED A MARRIAGE OR ANYONE WHO PLANS TO CONDUCT ONE.. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS SENSITIVE AND IT GIVES SATISFACTION.. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN SAMBRADHAAYAMS HAVE TO HAPPEN IN A PROPER WAY.. But this is only my opinion, in the lighter sense.. So please dont sabichify me.. Enaku innum kalyaaname aagala :-)

Stage: I find it difficult to understand the amount of money spent on stage decoration.. It is almost equal to the wedding hall rent.. Keta real flowers, adhanaala costly.. For it to last for a day, lakhs of money are spent.. And the latest I heard was that the bride and groom dresses should match with the stage background or vice versa.. Mudiyala..

Varaverpu: This was actually new to me.. Saw it recently at a friend’s wedding.. The groom to be arrives at the wedding hall and the bride to be has a bouquet (i am unaware of the exact cost of the bouquet but am sure it is expensive) to give him.. Idhu varaverpu.. Idhuku the bride to be (Hereinafter referred to as BTB, type panna mudiyala) had to go to the parlour and get her make-up and hair done and a special saree for the varaverpu too.. And everything is supposed to happen during the good times of the day.. So rushing up and down.. Poor BTB.. And if the make-up is messed up, it affects the confidence levels of the BTB so badly.. Genuine, I guess..

Sarees: Ethana podava.. Oh my God.. BTBs have so much patience to change sarees so many times.. Varaverpu, engagement, maamiyaar veetu saree, reception, nalangu, wedding.. And everytime jewellery has to be changed.. Including the two dozen bangles on each hand.. I was shocked to see that the BTB had to go to the parlour every time there was a saree change required and every time the hair do was changed.. The odyaanams, kedayams, vangis, haarams, maatals, jimukis…… Enaku type pannave moochu vaangudhu.. Imagine the BTB..

Food: Food is something that is very important in a wedding (any function for that matter).. Even if the wedding is perfect, a small mistake in the food will spoil the whole thing.. People already will be mennufying in their empty mouths.. If they find out something wrong with the food, mudinjudhu joli.. One part I am not comfortable in the food at weddings is the small plastic water bottles.. Disposal of those bottles is not done properly and it obviously costs a lot.. Disposable paper cups vechi fill panlaame.. Easier to dispose and clean the place.. And those bottles aren’t all that convenient.. Most people struggle to break open the seal.. Dont think that’s me, I have never had trouble doing that.. :-)

And yes food wastage is another bad element.. One reason I hate eating at weddings.. Most of the time we are asked to sit at places where the food has already been served.. Many caterers do not have the habit of asking before serving.. I do waste food in such occasions.. I really try my best not to..

Maalai: Jothika maalai, jayam ravi maalai, etc.. The lighter the weight, the more expensive it is.. Illana oru kattai vechi rendu pakkam thermocol poo vechi kazhuthu odayara alavaku they give these heavy maalais.. Adha potutu you have to fall on elders’ feet and all.. Very important, you should never complain.. Once in a lifetime marriage.. Aayiram kaalathu payir.. I also advice my impatient friends not to complain about these things during the wedding because a lot of pain and effort is gone through, all said and done..

Photographer: Kalyaanathula maximum thittu, saabam ivaruku than.. Ipdi nillunga apdi nillunga, side a paarunga, nera paarunga….. Vizhundhu porandu usura kuduthu photo edupaar.. Unga usurayum paadhi eduthuduvaar.. The mangala vaadhyam timing and the saangyam timing rendum ore non-sync a irukum.. All thanks to the padam pudikaravar.. Make-up tips laam kuda he will give.. Ya there are professional photographers who can manage to take photos without disturbing anyone.. Exceptions!!

Light Music: Many prefer soft instrumentals nowadays so that it doesn’t make conversing difficult.. But in earlier days it used to be this loud music and you cant here what the other person is talking..

Nalangu: Smearing of the sandhanam on their faces will show the amount of love and hatred people have for the bride and groom.. And I somehow find it funny when there will be a kid standing right next to the bride and the moment sandhanam is applied on the bride’s face, she wipes it off.. ???? Enna logic?

Lot more side headings that I cant remember at the moment.. :-)

A wedding is something that gives happiness to two families (supposedly).. But I have found it missing in weddings nowadays.. People are not happy.. Some spend a lot and make it a grand wedding just for the sake of prestige.. Yes, there are genuine people who are interested in giving their kids a good wedding.. The ore ponnu, ore paiyan people are particular.. But I guess the expenditure on weddings is increasing at an alarming rate and it results in huge amount of wastage – electricity, water, food, plastic disposal, etc..

I have also seen people who spend reasonably and yet have a great wedding.. People have started to get married in temples and have a small reception.. It saves a lot of cost and time..

Is there a good part? Yes there definitely is.. I think it will be fair to see both sides.. A lot of people like the naadhaswaram people, mike set people, flower decorators, beautician, saree wallahs, caterers, yeah the wedding planners, flowers and maalai sellers, oh yes the progidhars, marriage hall owners, etc etc make a living because of marriages.. Employment opportunities.. But if that’s done with reduced wastage, guess it should be great..

Am not against weddings or grand weddings.. I personally would prefer a marriage at a registrar office with just family and a few well wishers.. But individual perceptions will differ.. My own parents’ perception differs.. :-)  Cant conclude that it is right or wrong, but reducing of wastage of food and the plastic bottles is something that I cant stop thinking over.. Yup, eco friendly weddings where the thamboolam is given in recycled paper bags do happen.. It is nice to see more and more people move towards these kinda weddings.. Kudos!!

4. Attended a baby shower today.. Was nice to meet my college mates after a long time.. I saw a lady and I knew that I knew her well.. But for that minute I could not place her.. I said Hi and gave her a wide smile.. My friend Sowmya was standing next to me.. I asked her, “Yaaru di andha ponnu, romba familiar a iruka?”.. She says, “Adi paavi adhu ennoda anni di”.. It was real embarassing.. She had a hearty laugh.. I told her anni and said that she looked far younger.. Vera epdi thappikardhu.. :-)

5. Went to office straight from the baby shower function.. Someone said I looked very nice and I have to come to office like this everyday.. (Idhu lam romba over: this is not your mind voice, this was my mind voice).. I smiled.. :-)

Loooooooooong blog.. Take care people.. The next few days will be topic less mokkai.. Until my next blog :-) :-)

Managed to go early to office since I had a lot of work to do. To do to do. But the list is still not done. I still have things pending. There was supposed to be a power cut between 10 and 11 in the morning at office. Fortunately there was no power cut. Today 2 of my good friends celebrated their birthday. One of them is my college mate. We speak only once a year and that’s 21st of June on her birthday. Every year she will pick up the phone and say, “Oh my god, Sangeetha I can’t believe that you remembered this year also, am so blessed to have friends like you”. The funny part is she does not even know when my birthday is. Very sweet girl.

We used to go to college by van. She will be tired by the end of the day and she will lean on my shoulder and sleep off. Actually she will try to sleep. But since I was (still am) all bony, she will get hurt hitting her head on my shoulder bone. :-) she will keep saying, “from tomorrow I have to sit next to someone plump”. Fun days. Van journeys were totally awesome.

Finally met Sujatha and her mom this evening. Have been wanting to meet them for a very long time. We went gift hunting (as usual) and we had good fun. I was doing all mokka stuff and she also kept laughing a lot. It was good to see her laugh. Very contagious. Ungalaye neenga asinga paduthikita she will laugh all life just by thinking about it. :-) :-) super fun it was. We finally decided on the gift also. We weren’t expecting that to happen today. Good!!

Am still researching on one of my blog topics. Yet to write.

Title a paathadhukapparamum blog a padikara unga mana dhairiyatha naan paaratren!! :-) A day of running around. Had to go the bank and then to office. Bank la wait pannumbodhu kooda neraya pera koorndhu gavanichen. Yaaravadhu edhaavadhu different a pannanganna blog potudlam. No luck. Infact this is the very first time in all these I’ve been to a bank to withdraw cash. Bekka bekka nu muzhika koodadhu nu romba try pannen. In vain!!

But ya the costumes in which ppl come to banks is a little awkward. Tracks, shorts, lungis…. Disgusting. While the token numbers were shown on the side monitors one guy was staring at the main monitor the whole time where only one number was displayed the whole time. Paavam total bulb :-)

Spoke to sujatha. Na kaduppa edhavadhu sonna madam ku ore sandosam. She will laugh her head off. Had a good conversation. Laughed a lot :-)

Watching scenes from gilli. “Aanalum ungappa romba police a irukaar da. Pesaama andhaala divorse pannidu. Otteri nari, duminguppam vavvaalu, kada kumar….” He he.

1. Sujatha conversation :-) discussing gift ideas and discussing others’ prospective reactions to those ideas is always fun :-)

2. Gilli gilli gilli…

3. Lunch was fun. It was a pretty rare combination of ppl today :-)

Take care ppl. Don’t tell me I did not warn you. The title was warning enough. :-) until my next blog. :-) :-)

Sunday started early. Woke up at 3 since there was a power cut. Took time to sleep after that. Woke up early since dad gave some work to be done. Went to Palam Silks again to take delivery of sarees. Dunno what that guy was thinking. He kept saying, “Madam unga kalyanathuku unga than podava edukanum”. My mind voice, “Yow poya, modhalla maapla kedaikatum apparam pakalam”. My actual voice, “he he kandipaanga” asadu vazhinjifying as usual. Vita porum da saami nu odi vanten.

The rest of the sunday went off in lazing around and a few phone calls. A wedding is coming up. So had to call up a few ppl for gift ideas.

Have loads to do. But the day got over too quickly.

I am a person who used to help without thinking much. I won’t think whether that person will thank me or not, whether he will appreciate it or not and all. But off late I have a feeling that my heart is becoming smaller. I think before I help. It is very very irritating to think before helping. Gives a very selfish feeling. Either I should help selflessly and care a damn about how ppl treat me. Or I should help only deserving ppl. The first one seems easier. Lemme try. Refraining from helping ppl makes me hate myself. Round adichi topic ku vantena? Okays.

Saw Simi selects India’s most desirable. Deepika Padukone. Adhe relationship questions. Kooda tatoo vera. Edupeengala illa vechipeengala? Kandippa vechipen, yeah ellaarum jore a kai thatungooooo! If you don’t answer my question, hug me in public. Okay I will hug you in public. Have you lied on this tv show? Yes I have. Adangappa. Enna koduma sir. Adutha vaati sidhartha mallya. Ore accent. But fun to watch. Ipdi thitradhukaagavaavadhu paakanum. :-)
