En pirandhai magale....

To all that are concerned about my absence, illa illa, kc-ku onnume aagala...just that there are a lot of personal things going on like shifting houses (naanga ellam navagragam madhiri, idam mathitte irupom ;) ) and having parents coming over etc etc...adhanala veetla samaikardhuke time pathala (well, naan samaikaradhe oru movie durationku pogum :D). Thanks for asking, just saw all the comments and oru pulambal polambidalamnu vanten ;)

Right now it is my mom's turn to stay with us (after I tortured my mil to some extent - indha sani dasai sani dasai-nu solvangale, adhai turn eduthu anubavikkaranga). The first thing my mom said when I called her here was "paavam inga rendu kuzhandaigalum - adhavadhu en anna-vum anni-yum kuzhandaigalama - enna panvanga naan anga vanta?", does this by any remote chance mean that she gave birth to only one kuzhandai, and the other one happened to be born as kottan?? Idhu ennanga aniyayama iruku, naan 6 varushama have been alone under the pretext of working away from home, appolam ennai yarum kuzhandai-ya ninaicha madhiriye nyabagam illaye?!

Veetuku oru maram valarpom madhiri, veetuku oru bekku valarpomnu enga kudumbathula oru pazhakkam iruku. It just turned out to be me in mine ;) For example, naan school padikkara timela edho oru yearla coffee prices just shot up, so my dad introduced a new rule that we should drink milk and no more coffee. Seri, appa soltare-nu naanum kaalaila evening ellam paal-ai mattum kudichitrundhen. I used to have the habit of locking myself in the bedroom and study, and one fine day I happened to come out for something else...and guess what, hall full-a coffee vasanai!! Ennada idhu, naamalam milk dhane kudikarom-nu ellar kaiyayum partha, everyone had a tumbler with coffee inside!! Till this day, I don't drink coffee :( but coffee addicts ellam partha thittama vidardhe illa ;) vayitherichala vera enga kottardham?

Idhellam kooda ok, naan Bangalore ponappuram I had to put up in a PG and anga saapadum seriya irukadhu, and since I was alone, kind of fell into the bad habit of working late at work and having food at untimely hours. Seri namma amma-va konja naal kooda vachukalam-nu call pannina, she tells me "Illama, naan varardhu kashtam, kuzhandaiku (?!) time-ku sapdalana acidity varum, romba kashta paduvan, naan enna panradhu?"...idho da, engaluku mattum udambu enna iron-laya seinju vachirukanga, sapdama irundha kooda onnum aagama irukardhuku??

Andha kuzhandai mattum porandhadhulerndhu ippo kalyanam aagi nalla post-la irukara varaikum kuzhandaiyave iruku, naan eppadi mudhallerndhe kuzhandaiyave illa? Now you know why I am a kuttichatan ;)

But all said and done, now is my turn - pazhiku pazhi rathathirku ratham - vara vaichittomla, torture arambichuda vendiyadhudhan ;)
