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

Manu Rock !

Dint think i wud blog again but Manu v Roma was so inspiring and fun that i Juz had to .

First, the scenario :

Manu down 2-1 from the first leg and without paul scholes against a roma team that had only conceded 5 goals all competition & comin off Weekend loss @ portsmouth .United had never previously won a UEFA Champions League tie after trailing from the first leg . Not Quite the perfect scenario u wud imagine .

So , Kataben ?

Some Unbelievable football from Giggs , Ronaldo , Carrick & Rooney Made it 3-0 within 20 minutes .. As if that was not enough Ronaldo added another before halftime .. With the outcome a forgegone conclusion by now and thinkin this cud not possibly get any better i switched over to the simpsons .

So, Kataben ?

Missed another 10 minutes of brilliant play and another ronaldo goal :- . Manu not done yet tho .. Carrick with another brilliant goal to make it 6-0 in 60 minutes ... it was a measure of how fun the game was to watch that the 1 goal that roma did get was stunning as well . And if any further proof were needed that This was Man u ' s night and that everythin they tried was working , that was provided by evra's goal which wud prolly have gone out off the bar on most nights :)

Only dissapointment with the final score of 7-1 was that the average of a goal every 10 minutes was not achieved .

Gotta pity some ppl tho

The roma defence

The roma supporters who travelled all the way to england

But most of all , Ara

Woke him up @ 12 am to tell him match was on .. he said its juz manu match and went back to sleep :P

:o Long post

Dont xpect any more for a few months :D

Theme

Its been like a week since i "started " blogging and all i have to show for it is one measly post .. ppl have been buggin me abt that so here goes another ..

I wondered what to rite abt ... My Mundane daily schedule ?? Na , living it is Vetti enough without havin to rite abt it .

My Superhuman adventures as Arjun By day J man by night ? ? Na , too boastful .

Powerful Stuff that will Make People Sit up and take notice , invoke emotion, inspire people and such ?? Maybe Later .

in the end all i did was Pick out a theme song for this blog :D

Searching for a Reason

Y ? Oh y did i take i blogging ? The answer is unclear even to me . Probably has somethin to do with the title of this blog .. No, not the comfortably dumb one -- the URL



It could stand for many things .. For lack of a better blog name .. For lack of a better pastime .. and for the reader of this .. For lack of a better blog to read . ;-)



I Dont have much hope that i will update this regularly .. as Aragon Says in Lotr " I Give hope to men , I Keep none for myself " .

Thats prolly juz a fancy way of saying im too lazy to blog regularly .



Anywho watch this space !! ( not too intently tho )
