Mudhal mudhalil parthen..

Ellarukum mattikara velai varanum illaya? Marriage-a? No way, yaaravadhu emandha sonagiri kitta poi indha bajanai ellam vachikonga-nellam super-a dialogue ellam vittu periappa chittapa kitta ellam vangi kattindirundhen. Appuram vachanga ellarum super-a oru aapu.

I had been to Chennai for a short stay, and veetla amma kaila nalla kottintu I was off to a friend's place wearing my usual costume of jeans and shirt. Friend veetlayum adhe dialogue dhan vittutrundhen, marriage-a che che, adhellam 2 yrs kazhichu parka soliruken parents kitta-ntu. Idhai naan sollitiruken, en mobile-la oru call - en arumai anna cool-a solran "Usha, kilambi veetuku vaa, unnai pon parka varanga"-nu. WWaaaaaaaat?!! "Enna anna solra, ponna?" "Aama Usha, now get going, vaa veetuku, next 30 mins he is going to be here! " Enaku kadupana kadupu, oruthi ooruku vandhirukale, nimadhiya viduvom-nu edhavadhu iruka ivangalukellam? grrr....So thittite I started towards home consoling myself "Ok Usha, idhellam arasiyal-la sagajam, ippodhane arambichiruku, innum time aagum yaravadhu oru bakra finalize aaradhuku, this is just the first time"-nu. Naamdhan ever-optimistic ache!

Oru background inga, en appa and his acquaintance had met on a good amavasai and had chatted up which ended in mutually exchanging the info of that person's nephew and mine (vera onnume illaya indha naatla pesaradhuku?) And rendu pakkamum follow-up pannitu, this process had gone into a hibernation mode as the guy was planning to go to Germany as onsite, and I had said I need 2 more years. Ippadi ellame perfect-a poitrukache, his cousin who had casually glanced at my profile spotted my brother's name and has said "Ivan-a? En colleague ache ivan, nalla smart-ana payyan, ivan thangaiya parkalam vaa"-ntu had immediately called up home and had announced their arrival. Paavam, anna madhiriye thangaiyum nalla irupa-ntu emandhuttanga, but that is a different issue.

Inga ippadi appa, anna-nu kudumbame sadhi pannadhai ninaichu I was getting heated up. Anga payyan-kum interest illa, he thought I was too lean - namma oorladhan Jo, oh sorry, Kushboo madhiri gunda irundhadhane ellarukum pidikum - so he had told his parents that they dont have to come, and that he and this cousin brother would go by themselves and meet the girl and get back. Edhuku ellar time-um waste pannanum, vendam-nu solradha naane pantu vandhudaren-tu he started from his residence.

Indha side naan veetuku vandhutu "Paaruma, saree ellam kattika matten, payyan mattumdhane varar, so jeans-e ok illaya"-nellam dialogue vittutu nalla vangi kattinen. Enna aniyayama iruku, ponnu parkaradhuku pasanga mattum padu casual-a varanga, ponnu mattum saree katti, poo vachu, anna nadai ellam nadandhu scene poda vaikaranga? Adhuvum enaku vekkam, this anna nadai ellam set-e aagadhu. So we mutually agreed on a salwar and I got ready pretty quickly, face wash, salwar, oru pottu - all set.

After a little waiting in my bedroom (adutha aniyayam, edhuku ponnai ellam suspense-a konja neram kazhichu kataranga? Ponnu enna Rajini-ya enna, bg music-oda varardhuku?) I was called out for the ramp show. Velila vandha udane, the first person I saw was looking a little elderly, hayya Usha, reject pannidalam jolly jolly-nu naan ullukulla kokkarichite second person-a paa..rr..th..aa, young-a tall-a hefty-a irukaru!! Oh, idhan thalaivar-antu I said a hi and sat on a chair (sofa ellam already occupied).

Ellarum mathi mathi pesaranga, ennai kekkara kelvi-kellam my dad, mom and bro were answering (adhuku enai edhuku koopidanum, neengale mudichikongalen), aana sweet kondu varardhuku mattum ennai anupi vachanga. I went in and brought some sweets on a plate and came out. Idhellam pazhakame illaya, so plate ellam table-la vaika theriyama dom-nu vachu en manathai naane vangikiten. Cycle gap-la payyan-a appappo partha (pinna eppodhan muzhusa parkaradhu), thalaivarum super-a sight adichitrukar, so I had to avert my eyes. This is another kodumai, pasangalukellam ponnai head to toe parka nalla chance, but what will girls do? Eppadidhan decide panvom naanga ok-va illaya-nu?

Ellarum nalla mudinja varaikum pesi theerthuttu, what next-nu yosikarache, thalaivar kettar, "naanum Usha-vum konja neram thaniya pesalama?" Avalodhan! Everyone was a little taken aback. "Umm..ok.."-nu sollitu appadiye utkarndhitrundhanga ellarum. Enaku sema siripu, coz payyan was wondering, ennada ivanga pesalam-nu soltu ingaye irukanga-nu. Naan, after enjoying a few moments, suggested that we go to another room in my house for that (crisis management-ama idhu)

Ok, the post has gotten too long, will continue in the next post on what happened next.
