Ninaipadhellam nadandhuvittal...

TV-la thannoda mugam varanum-nu ninaikara jadhi jaasthi, adhaivida jaasthi TV-la thanoda mugam marundhuku kooda vara koodadhu-nu ninaikara jadhi. Idhula naan second type. Kalyana veetuku pona kooda video aal pakkathula light pidicha kooda "ayyo camera"-nu odiduven. Ofcourse, edhuku oru nalla samacharathai pei padam madhiri aakanum-nra nallennam dhan.

Naanga PG classes-la 3 per, romba romba amaidhiyana adakkamana ponnunga, endha faculties-kume engalai theriyadhu, endha students-kume naanga irukara idam theriyadhu, avalo amaidhi. Usha-va, adhu yaaru (ayyo avala?!) appadinra alavuku adakkam naanga (seri seri, appadiye oppositedhan). Adhula oru nallava enkitta sonna, "Usha usha, en thambi-oda friend edho channel-la edho program-ku host-a irukan. It is basically a chat show, edhavadhu cinema star-a vachikittu niraya college pasanga pesara madhiri oru show. Indha episode-ku edho aal shortage-am, en thambi ennai koopidaran, neeyum variya"-nu ketta.

Naan refuse pannen, ayyo TV-a, chance-e illa, naan matten adhu idhu-nu solli edhuvum work out aagala. So sari ok, gumbaloda govinda dhane, naama appadiye pinnala olinjikkalam-ntu ok solten. I and my friend, her brother and 3 of his friends ellaruma serndhu Annanagar-la iruka some Y restaurant (enna per, marandhu poche)-ku ponom, angadhan shooting-ntu. Vazhi fulla pulambitrundhen, vendam di, en family-la yaravadhu partha college time-la enna panra-nu keppanga-nu. Appuram naane samadhana paduthinten - eppadiyum idhu 6 PM show, namma veetla yo relatives veetlayo illa therinjavanga yaarum andha time-la poyum poyum college show ellam parka mattanga, vera edhavadhu nalladha parpanga-ntu decide pannintu I braced myself for the programme.

Kodumai 1: Indha programme-la pona week-lerndhu cine star varardha niruthitangalam! Ada paavingala, veruma 6 per pesardha enna program-nuya poduveenga? Kodumai! Seri ok, the ever-optimistic Usha decided that this would be an attractive reason for people not watching the show.

Poi andha restaurant-la utkarndhom, they gave some actress name, and avangalai pathidhan pesanum-nu soltanga. Munnadi niraya item vera vachitanga. I wasnt interested in eating, but andha camera manushan kept asking us to eat. Enpa, naanga enna bagasuran-oda children-a enna, lunch-um saptutu ingayum vandhu kottikaradhuku? But again, pesama irukardhuku idhu vazhi-ntu naan paatuku eduthu saptiturundhen, enna pesama irundha there would be no chance of me appearing on TV! Clever, eh? Appapo ennoda muthana mozhigalai udhirthuttu, naan pattuku vedikkai parthutirundhen. Finally the shooting got over, and we went back to our college.

kodumai 2 - This programme was scheduled for 6PM some tuesday, naan aniku college mudichuttu konjam late-a veetuku varen..my Mom confronted me, "enma edho programme-la vandha poliruke?" Naan udane, "he he, adhu edho indha vino sonnama, adhan..., unaku eppadi therinjadhu?" appadinu ketten. Then I got the shock of my life! Apparently, ennoda mama amma-ku call panni, "Ippodhan TV-la Usha-va parthen, super-a pesarale"-nu pottu koduthirukar. And in the next 5 minutes, my periappa had called her up saying that he is watching Usha in a restaurant talking well about something!! Aaha! idhu ennada idhu, ivanga rendu perume veetuku thalai madhiri, ivangale parthuttangala? The reason they gave was, edho channel matthite vandhangalam, correct-a indha channel had come up with my face! :(

kodumai 3 - Seri ok, relatives kitta dhan manam pochu-nu ninaichen. When I went to college, anga adutha adhirchi..ovvoruthara kooptu visarikaranga. "Enna Usha, TV-la parthen naan unnai? Adhu eppadi andha mokku mokkara saapatai?" Ennalum menmakkal (adhavadhu naan pesinadhai mattum sonnavanga) menmakkale!! Idhunga naan saptadhai mattum kuthi kuthi kattaranga! idhula oru jandhu, "usha enaku sema siripu, andha camera man unnai mattumdhan main-a focus pannan, and avan focus panra mukka vasi neram nee saptute iruka!! Ha ha ha, eppadi Usha ippadi sapta nee?" Grr grr..ada paavi cameraman, naandhan kidaichena unaku? That was the worst kodumai, naan face vara koodadhu-nu sapta, andha jenmam naan sapdaradhai shoot panni iruku!!

kodumaiyin sigaram - Seri ok friends and relatives-kitta ella manam-um karaiyeriachu-nu ninaichuttu oru naal college kitta poitrundhen, a guy who went by me came closer to me and then commented to his companion "Enda, indha ponnudhane naama pona varam TV-la parthom?"
