Courier.

Why does it happen to me?

I wanted to send a courier to my relative in Delhi. This I tried from my grandma's place. It was a township then [now too].

Me: Courier to Delhi
He: You have address?
Me: Huh?
He: Edam vilasam? [Vandhutaanuga pant shirtu potukittu englipshla pesikuttu. addressna enna theriyama].
Me: Err. yes. Here it is

I handed over the cover. I had written the address, and in from section mentioned ‘With Love from [punai peyar1],[punai peyar2],[punai peyar3] ’.

Then came the interesting part. The guy collected money from me and was filling the form.
He: From?
Me: Arakonam
He: Adhu theriyudhu.
He: Tell name? Peru sollu pa.
Me: Badhri.
He: You ?
Me: What ?? Enna ??
Me: No. I am not the [punai peyar1]
He: Then you no from.
Me: !!!!!
He: Tell name
Me: Err. My relative name is XYZ.
He: Ok. You go now. Kelambu.
Me: Sigh! Thanks

Raasa.... ini punai peyar poonai peyar ellam venaam da saami.

On the bike

A friend of mine was in a grat hurry to reach the Reebok showroom in Anna nagar. He was desperate to get there before closing time so as to buy a certain model of reebok slippers for size. He forgot about everything and had a single mided focus on getting there in time. What he did not forget though, was his celebrated sense of nayyandi.

The lights turned green and we lurched forward at great velocity. I was enjoying the cold winter breeze when the bike screeched to a halt. I looked at my friend. The expression in his face said it all. He was staring at the middle aged women in front of the bike with a cold stare that would have put any self respecting godzilla to shame. I was desperately hoping he would not start using expletives against an woman even if she was at fault. He was a bit short tempered especially when people violated traffic rules.
"Hello madam!! I know you are a greatt devotee of the almighty"
??????
and you might believe he answers every call of yours and takes good care of you.
so? whats your point
the point is the damn break in this damn bike is controlled by me and only by me. I have no instructions from the almighty that I should hit the break when a mad lady crosses the road when I am going at full throttle.
Had i hit you, you would have gone straight to the lord. Obey traffic rules and cross the road with care. Die if you want, but dont jump in front of some other persons vehicle.
??????


We continued on our journey towards anna nagar and had crossed the koyambedu bus stand when..
f***... s***.. what the hell man... why the hell"
what now.. I mused aloud..?? you still thinking about the lady? forget her da... indians are like that
its about another indian da.. look how this a*****e is driving.
i peeped in front of him and saw that I guy was driving ahead of us and the path that he was taking was tracing out the character 'S'. now i understood. my friend was trying to overtake that nice guy driving in front of us but could not...
finally he manged to overtake the other guy and signalled him to slow down. once he was in an audible range
"boss, only when you have to go for a licence, you will have to trace out eight on the road... not when you drive on the road.."
$$##>>??


After all the effort we manged to reach the reebok showroom and managed to find out that they did not have the size that he wanted. So then we started to come back from anna nagar and our conversation gradually drifted towards our school days.
"Dei. Look there dude. praveen fast foods"... that was me
"What? So, whats the big deal? have you patented the name praveen or what"
"No da. Dont you remember this da? Do you remember ranjani, we used to tease ranjani with ajay only after they were caught together during class 10 in praveen fast foods near our school. remember?"
He stops the bike and turns around. thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu. what rememberance da? and you want me also to remember this. huh. your mom should be proud about your rememberance and intelligence. fantastic"
Total damage.
