The importance of Being Idle ?

Why is it that i feel vetti enough to blog only when there is something infinitely more important that i should be doing , like studyin for the next day's exam , and never when i got all the time in the world ? ?

Is it that the most enjoyable time to be idle is also when there is the most work to be done ? ?

Absolut Nonsense

No , the post is not about the content of my TQM answer paper today or even about the vodka ads .

Vilok: dude wtf da
u writin serious shit n all in blog

This was the inspiration for this post to show that i still can/will post absolute nonsense stuff here .

So anyway i post this convo Me and Bhavya had while waitin in ritchie street

B : ....... ? ( Some Question )
J : Curiosity killed the cat
B : What was the cat curious about ?
J : Abt how many lives it had
B : Hmm , so it killed itself to find out how many lives it had
J : Yea,Nice Theory
B : But how did curiosity kill the cat then ?
J : It got curious 9 times .

Lost in Translation

No , this is not a review for the movie Mozhi( which btw is brilliant and u shud watch ). Its about what it stands for : Language .

Many a time while chatting with non indians ( or even non - tamilians ) i get the response "huh ? " . Its inevitably because of my usage of "common tamil" words in the convo .

Classic example :

Yank : Sup

Me : Nm, Vetti

Yank : Huh ? Vetti ?

Now i can never find words to adequately express what this simple word means in english .

Similarly " chumma " . I suppose it can be roughly translated as " juz like that " but it doesnt have the same feel to it .

Another word is the ubiquitous " da " basically used as at the end of a sentence to denote an informal , friendly conversation which cannot quite be replicated in english . There are a few alternatives like " dude" , " man " etc but they sound kinda forced and unnatural when i use em .

Of course the reverse is not true . any word in english can be made a tanglish one by addin a " o" or a "u" to it ;) .

a classic example wud be Worst being converted into ........ " Worstu " :-)

But , as the melodious song from the above mentioned Mozhi Goes

iyarkeyin mozhigal purinthu vidu

manitharin mozhigal thevai-illai

ithaiyathin mozhigal purinthu vidu

manitharikku mozhiye thevai-illaiiiiiii

Roughly Translated that means ,

Understand the language of nature

The language of men is not needed

Understand the language of the heart

Men dont need language at all .

So , Basically this post is just crap :-? :-|

Worstu

Oh well i was chumma vetti anywayz
