She told him she wanted to watch Anniyan. He was too busy checking his statcounter that he hardly paid attention to her. She made a mention of it yet again, but his concentration was on his new template. She tried telling him about it during dinner, but he was focused on how to bring in more hits to his blog. She thought she could reiterate her request during bedtime. As expected he was transfixed to his laptop making his post for the day. By the time he was done, she was fast asleep.
Frustrated, she left a one-line comment in his blog.
He noticed.
Today they are going out for dinner,followed by Anniyan in Mayajaal.
are u this Blog addict? i am thinking of starting Blogaholics Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the movie.
Kaps
ReplyDeleteNopes. I am not. Just let my imagination run wild on what wud be the heights of blog addiction. This is what I came out with
nice one though annyan was,nt
ReplyDeleteAnjali
ReplyDeleteThanks. Now, where had u disappeared for a long time ? Your quick tales have been pending for a while.
Anniyan rocked in the second half, or atleast I liked it. Ambi and Remo were really irritating. Really not Shankar standards !
somu, ru also trying out on Ammani's style of short story telling...
ReplyDeleteSmyta,
ReplyDeleteThanks and True Anniyan was a flop show as far as my liking towards the movie goes. But commercially it's writing a new success story which is good for the film industry.
Well I shall leave that one liner comment to the reader's imagination. lol !!
Satish,
You can pretty much say that. I first tried my hand at Ammani Quick tales here.
But considering am no expert at that, I give it a shot once in a while ! :o)
here are a suggestion for the one-liner that coulda been...
ReplyDeleteAnniyan tonight! BTOYA.
P.S : BTOYA = Be There Or its Your Ass

LOL! Seriously, this is one hell of an addiction!!!
ReplyDeleteAkshay,
ReplyDeleteGood one.
Had I been her, I wud have scared the shit out of him... So, "Anniyan tonight, be there or am going with a fellow blogger" ;o)
கவிஞர் Nithya,
Correcta soneenga !!! Looks like of late Tamil poetry is becoming an addiction :o)
enna nakkala!!:D i meant blogging, not tamil poetry..:D
ReplyDeleteViji,
ReplyDeleteNaan blogginga discontinue panna poreinu yaaru sonna !!!
And if I had a wife, why do you think I post something like this. Yelaam oru karpanai thaan !
Nithya,
ReplyDeleteWhy would you wanna think that way ? That was a very genuine remark
tat was a suberb one...liked it very much...has a message to convey...
ReplyDeletei too have a similar one in but different context...
Sophia,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot ! It definitely has a message for me atleast.
Can you give me a pointer to the similar one that you have ? It would be interesting to have a look at it.
Now, I can't stand the suspense. What was THAT one-liner she left? Such things turn me into an insomniac. Grr. Hehe, nice short story. They are so easy to write, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI wish I could read the poem in your latest entry, but I can't.
Aarthi
ReplyDeleteLol ! I am leaving that to your imagination. However, there was one suggestion from Akshay. You can find that in your comments.
Curiosity kills the cat or gives it insomnia, right ? Thanks for dropping by.
And true, such stories are easy to write.
However, am not discrediting what Ammani does. Packing in so much of emotions in just few lines requires thought process and a lot of effort. Hats off to her.
I liked your entry, Somu. The interesting thing is that I (like a lot of others) thought your post was autobiographical.
ReplyDeleteAn old post still its true :)
ReplyDeletehahaha ultimate!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! kick ass
