Idling away...
Just as I am idling away my time, I was jus wondering what to blog...Nothing interesting is turning up...
Well just FYI, Anto, who was staying with us (Arun, Bhoobi, Raghu and me) is leaving our house today and will continue to stay with his Mother in a flat which is also in the same locality as ours.
We'll lose a hell a lot of things...
1) The peerless aroma (???) of unwashed pairs of socks
2) The amount of water Anto used to save us by
a) "Economical" bath frequencies
b) "Thrifty" wash frequencies
3) The yellow colored blanket which has the provided all of us with tremendous resistance to any kind of dirt-related diseases, thanks to Anto for maintaining it in the same state as when bought...To put things straight, he never washed it once
4) The "re-usability jokes" of Raghu revolving around "under ground" secrets of Anto.
5) The frequent hair washes we have due to Anto's forgetfulness in restoring the knob to tap-mode from shower-mode
6) Frequent quarrels from our downstair residents due to noise levels
7) And a lot more....
Well, on a serious note, we'll miss all his furnitures, laptop, headtop (that's his belly), banterings and "kuthu-kuthu" game (where we poke him all over) ;-)
Bidding tata to Anto in his own style.... THAATHAA !

A medley of idiosyncrasies...
Better read this as a prologue
http://nareshchandrasekaran.blogspot.com/2005/10/life-and-fun-at-hyderabad.html
Well, a quirky idea sprang upon me as I was idling in front of my computer on what is a public holiday for many (Saraswathi pooja). I thought I'll put a few words about each of the janthus (read dear friends) I am living daily with. The following is the short description of what I'll associate with each one of them as soon as I hear their names.
1. Moothai (aka Anto sometimes)
a) The funny pronunciations. In anto's words "paathikku kaadu ketkaadu" doesn't even remotely connect to any forest (kaadu) or half (paathi) of anything. It just means "paatikku kaadhu ketkaadhu"
b) The portable pillows (read as belly)
2. Psycho/Korangu/Lassi/ Highly unparliamentary biological reference (rarely known as Raghu)
The hyperactive nonsense with an obsession to all food stuff that I hate. His peak in the nonsensical but rhyming ghazals have reduced, thanks to Moothai and I for taking over the reigns of kadi
3. Peeee/KoPeeeeee (also Arun)
I can never forget the Kopeeeee comedy in my lifetime (too unparliamentary to put over here). A highly process oriented person; an obsessed movie fan who'll watch movies for aspects which most even don't know exist; one who watches sports which I can hardly savor (F1, football....yuckkkkkkkkkk)
4.Bhooo/Kadiyan (Raghu has an obsecene way of slandering) (Frequently Bhoobi)
What he considers play of words and pun is the most horrible thing one can ever experience in terms of Mokkai, Kadi, Blade, or whatever you may call it. An excellent cook and a highly responsible person. The one who makes our house looks, at least at times, not like that of bachelors.
5. Jaybee/Sappaan (mostly JP)
Silent and poised with amazing unexpected funny cracks. Again an excellent cook. Among all the people I slander, I am at a loss of words when it comes to JP as I don't find much about him to tease :)) For that matter, not many will find either.
6. Kuruma/Maadu (aka Arvi)
Amazing eater and a ghee-obsessed person;-)
Many a times I have enjoyed his repartees with Raghu and comments in general.
The one and only bastion standing tall protecting the premises of Jee-Kaapee (Z-cafe). "Thunbathilum inbam kaanbavan" (One who sees happiness even during times of unhappiness). To elaborate, the one who derives happiness from the unhappiness of the rest of the world (when Jee-kaapeee is running)
7. Nuttu (aka Naresh)
The man of grandeur who always goes for the highest priced tags (whatever be it: from an undi to a suit)
The perfect fraud ;-) //Not many can decipher anything out of this except for the above mentioned frauds
An amazing narrator of incidents
A fundamental physict who sees matter in everything ;-)
It is a medley of all these idiosyncrasies that makes life out here interesting and most important of all : ENJOYABLE......

Unnodu Naan...
I know that I have been pretty irregular with blogging and laziness is the major reason for that.
Well, of late, I have been obsessed by one particular song from the movie Iruvar. This is actually a bit song (approx 2.5 mins) which begins "Unnodu naan...". This song (or rather vers interspersed with music) is rendered in the movie by Prakashraj during his intimate moments with Tabu.
When the cassettes came around 8 years back, this song didn't make much of an impression on me.
But now, I am growing mad over it. The voice of Arvindswamy, the occasional harmony (by Dominique, if I remember properly), the lyrics, the music in the background.....make me fanatically obsessed with this piece
1. Arvind's modulation of voice (tha passion and pathos are well rendered)
2. Vairamuthu's excellent verses
3. In my opinion, the most powerful reason : the backing vocals

Thank you Rahman, for another masterpiece...
