Two isolated incidents that happened within a span of two weeks
1. Six of us met at GRT Grand Days (Coffee shop) for a friend’s birthday treat. During the course of the dinner, I passed a casual comment. “I love this place. Peaceful and serene. Just creates opportunities for people to converse. Quite a contrast to the noisy pubs and loud coffee days”. And two of them in synchrony retorted, “That’s where fun lovers hangout. That’s where party goers spend time. And that’s where young and energetic minds meet. Dude ! You are getting old”
2. I was at Tidel yesterday at around 11.00 PM when one of my colleagues asked, “So, how was Diwali” ? “It was normal. Saw Padayappa. Visited couple of my cousins. And then it was Vassol Raja MBBS. Home delivered Pizza for dinner and that’s about it.” “How about crackers?” , he asked again. “Nah ! Not much of enthu for it this time, I guess”. And so came the quick response, “Is it a sign of you getting old?”
Now the big question is… Am I getting old at heart ? Boohoo !!!
I should have probably told them what the Americans think of me.

ReplyDeleteSheesh..I too saw Padayappa, went to the beach, saw some crackers being burst, saw Vasool Raja, ate & slept. Just like you; guess that makes us two asking the same question? Boo Hoo! ;)
ReplyDeletewhat is this last chapter that Madhu is referring to?

@Madhu
ReplyDeleteSurea it would be up tomo... and there is a concluding chapter after that too. Won't disappoint you this time, for sure. Promise.
@Ravi
Lol ! I have company... Woohoo !!! Btw, I was at the beach too, but around 2300 hrs... Looks like more are jumping into the same boat... ;o)))
@Kaps
THat was the next chapter of the love story that I was writing... :o)))
There are two more chapters to it and Madhu was referring to that.
@Sophie
Lol ! No I did not send everyone that SMS... Maybe most would have already got it...
So another one to give me and Ravi company in the boat ? Welcome aboard !
i too would have had the same preferences... so am i old at heart??... i would like to beleive am not but .....:-)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo and ellam irakattum. Too much of boat rocking and buddy, we are gonna capsize! Wouldn't want that, would we? Who would then buy the Opel? ;)
ReplyDeleteYaaru enna venaalum soleekonga, I refuse to grow up. Don't think I will join the club you and Ravi are forming :)
ReplyDeleteDeepavallikku Pizza saapiteengala?
@Limsa
ReplyDeleteAiyo... Mince meata ? Am not sure why am shivering here, and why my teeth are chattering ... Someone help me please !!!
Jamesa ? Yaarukooda ? Ha ha !!! Do remember, enna padam, entha theatre is never too important... ;o))))
And thanks a lot ! I just read your last post... Sometimes, it takes a post for people like me to come out with what I feel about others. Thanks for that :o)))
@Naikutti
Nah... ithelaam chinna pasanga sollurathu !!! Young at heart is not in what you do, its in how u feel... I feel young and I feel great...So, u have to believe you are not :o)
@Ravi
Correct... No one else would buy it after a couple of years for the same price I bought it... So, lets jump out of the boat and stay ashore.
@Uma
Super... We welcome outside support also... ;o)))
Yeah Pizza... Otherwise Idli was ready... so, thought for a change would try pizza... Pataasey vedikala, itula pizza saputa enna thappu ? What say ?
i preferred to stay home and didn't go for sivakasi, to see Ilayaraja's show in jaya tv.
ReplyDeletegrrr...got fed up with the commercials and slept half way thru the program. poor coverage
Oh you were so keen on watching first day first show... Enna aachu ?
ReplyDeleteI chose to stay away from TV coz i was denied to right to watch Padayappa which i have been wanting to see ever since they announced it... Only when the remote was free did I come out of my room ;o))))
I was waiting for the concluding post!!!
ReplyDeleteMy diwali was not that g8 here... no holiday too :(
@Art
ReplyDeleteThe concluding post is tomo... But the suspence is already broken anyways...
Am sure you made the most out of whatever you could do on Diwali... Am sure the spirit is still alive in yu... :o)
" Young at heart is not in what you do, its in how u feel... I feel young and I feel great" ...
ReplyDeleteithe ithe ithe thaan naan ethir parthen... so there goes the answer to ur question in ur post :-)
We dont have to do what "stereotyped youngsters" do to keep ourselves young. I have always felt the way you do now about quiet places and hate for crackers. Now I'm 23. Have I always been old at heart then?? :=)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it happens.. that you may start thinking otherwise compared to those surrounding you. doesn't mean that we are getting older in heart.. always we need to feel young in heart, even if we cross 50s.. that's my policy..
ReplyDelete@Naikutti
ReplyDeleteDo u see this as a typical case of asking a question knowing the answer ? :o)))
@Vinesh
Yeah... you are right... Just that these thoughts came as reaction to my statements and though wud have it posted. You ain't old too pal... Nor am I, or that's what i wish to believe.
@Ram
Unga policy thaan en policy kooda :o)
@Kalai
ReplyDeleteAm sure she meant, "Enna ma inniku pasangalukku teach panna pogaliya ? School leava vaathiyaarey" ;o)))
Arasiyala ithuvul saadaaranam :o)))
