Aadukalam

An awesome Madurai Suburb movie! Dhanush and Vetrimaran has once again hit the “Bull’s Eye”. Dhanush has acted a turning point movie in his career.  Director has presented the whole movie revolving around a gang who are the champions of “Cockfight” in their locality.

K.P.Karuppu (Dhanush) is a gutsy and role as a pakka Madurai lad is the main highlight of the movie. He is the left hand and the mentee of Pettaikaran (Jayabalan). He is the jockey of their game and had golden arm. In all the game Karuppu used to play the lead and he wins every game. They were the champions in this game. Eventually tamil traditional movies has Love scene in most of the film. Dhanush is paired with Irene (Taapsee). His innocence in the loving scenes was the highlights of the movie. His dance step for “Otha Sollaala” had a true Choreographer and Director’s touch. Dhanush dint took up too much of extra-ordinary fights, he fought simple and real kicks. He dint fly and all in this movie. The role of Karuppu was total RAW and he has really took huge effort to present himself as a Local Lad. Dhanush as K.P.Karuppu has done 100 % justice to his character.  

Irene (Taapsee), a sweet bubbly character is an Anglo-Indian girl, who is disturbed not only heart of Karuppu but hearts of all people who came to watch the movie was simple in her role as a debutant. She was so simple down to earth dint had great opening scenes. She initially refused Karuppu’s love but in the later part of the story fell in Love with her. At the end came out of her house and flew away with Karuppu.

The other two main roles were Pettaikaran (Jayabalan) and Durai (Kishore). Pettaikaran’s role was a treat to watch. The village gang leader’s roughness, egoism of age and “Prestige Issue” was portrayed in him in a damn right manner. Durai (Kishore) right hand of Pettaikaran has acted yet another special role after Pollathavan.

Rethanasamy(Naren) and Dhavasi did the justice to their role.

Story:

The story revolves around two main criteria “Cockfight” followed by “Prestige Issue”.

Rethanaswamy and Pettaikaran were opposite team mates in the Cockfight and Rethanaswamy had never won a single game against Pettaikaran, because his cocks were trained to its best. Rethanaswamy for his caste and mother’s compulsion had to host the “Cockfight”. His cocks lost all the game against Pettaikaran in the initial rounds, though they were given tablets. After few lose, he brought special rough cocks from Bangalore, and Pettaikaran got feared of watching its roughness. Karuppu in the earlier part of the game dint killed his cock which was instructed to be killed because it was lost win one game. He brought that Cock and said he is gonna send that Cock for fight. Pettaikaran’s ego started at that point of time. He was not happy that his juniors commanding him and telling what is Right and what is Wrong. But in the battle Karuppu’s cock won the battle 3 times and Karuppu won a whooping amount of around 3 lacs. Karuppu gave the money to his mentor but he rejected it. Karuppu’s victory makes his mentor bitter and jealous, as he is crowned the new king of cockfights. This creates hidden animosity in Pettaikaran who plots for the downfall of Karuppu leading to a riveting climax.

The story changed all of sudden and revolved only among Pettaikaran, Karuppu and Durai. Pettaikaran played a game by making a story that Karuppu’s money was lost which Karuppu gave at one situation. Pettaikaran induced a fight between Karuppu and Durai for a Cock fight. Meanwhile Karuppu’s mother passed away. Before the game Durai’s cocks were killed, he suspected that it would have been done by Karuppu. Pettaikaran sent Karappu with a knife for his safety to meet Durai which he changed the plot to Durai that he is coming with Knife to kill him. The climax thus ended when Karuppu came to know that the real culprit was his own mentor Pettaikaran. Pettaikaran to save his egoism slashed his throat.

Dhanush and Taapsee flew away in a truck leaving behind everything for a safe and new life.

The story’s another main co-hero was G.V.Prakash, his background score and the Yathe Yathe...song lingers in your mind even after you leave the theatre. The rooster fight in the interval point is the major highlight.

Vetrimaran’s hardwork for almost 3 years has given him the reward. Every once in a while comes a film touch both heart and mind; films that make you surrender completely to the power of the experience. Aadukalam lives up to the expectation that the film carried and the credit goes to Vetrimaran whose research and hard work shows on screen.

Aadukalam in short is "A winning rooster" 

Vivek !!

Vivek – Gem of a Character.

I donno how and why I got to know this character? And also donno why God made me close to him!!!

I know this crazy fellow for the past 2 years. We got to know because of my P.G. college. My PG college life rules were almost like a Jail but I was happy because of the friends I got, one of the leading folks was Mr.Vivek.J

We dint got close all of a sudden over night, but instead slowly we got close because of the evening special classes then followed by the main break through was 8^th November 2009. Guess what it was my Birthday celebration, alas I found it was Vivek’s arrangement. Really I was moved to tears when I got to know about that. Then few trips like Vandaloor zoo visit and Sirumalarghal Orphange visit made us further more close.

Apart from that our major participation together started with our College symposium. We both were the Event Managers, and then we the organizers for Queensland trip and the College Farewell. The last two events were the major ones which we both worked together and specially with same wavelength.

One of the most memorable trip of my life was our Kodaikanal Trip. Really those 4 days we enjoyed a lot together with our friends. February 24^th 2010 was another memorable day for us, Sachin’s 200 and College farewell , we both together.

Most important highlight of our friendship is our WAVELENGTH !! Which I feel is always the most important which every friendship needs and we have 100 outta 100 in that sense !!

Then he is a party animal, if it comes to food he will grab it with both the hands.

OK!! Enough of our sharing, let’s give the testimonial about my dear friend Vivek.

Vivek is a semma jovial character. I Bet you guys, you will not see such a fellow in this world. He is all-rounder in many ways. If it is on the spot drama he will be the director, if it is trip he will be the organizer, if it is dance competition he will the first to dance, he and his “belly dance” is the special of all. I admire his calculating speed; he and his calculator may compete for the Limca book of records that much speed. He is real cool character I have ever seen. His photographic poses none can beat. He is a NON-STOP Entertainer.  Where ever you go he will never mind about the surroundings and will be entertaining of the folks. These are the main reasons why I am binded with this fellow. 

Apart from that studies, if it is Application oriented none can beat him. He is an average all-rounder in studies like me in that perspective.

Coming to the special character, you CAN BELIEVE HIM A LOT. I have experienced in many ways. Till now What I am, Who I am , and What’s happening with my personal life he knows it. He stood with in my personal bad times and consoled me. He may look silent and calm but will stand for you if he is your friend. He is the brand ambassador for the word “Trust Worthy”. He will help to  the core but I bet guys he would have told any one that he has helped so and so person. He never shows off that I did that or I helped and all. Silent Helper but a True one. 

In girls side, he is real gem. So far I donno whether he has seriously fell for any girl. He doesn’t get distracted and fall for them. Really his real time girl is very lucky to have such a genuine guy as her hubby.

He is a real talented character, innovative, hardworking, quick response in work, straight forward. I am sure he will reach great heights one day in his career.

Truly I don’t know why he likes me? I don’t know am I worth being his friend? Whatever may be he likes me, that’s it!! I am happy for that no more questions!!

 I don’t know how I will repay his debts for his friendship but I can say one thing I can repay by giving my eternal friendship to him.

I am blessed to have such a friend in my Life!!! I bet you guys if Vivek is your friend you will have Non-Stop Entertainment & will eternal friendship !!!!

What else one can expect from a true friend !! We have so far had no misunderstandings, either we expect will have in future too. I might have hurted in some ways or other, if I did so Vivek sorry da mappi !!! I am blessed to have such a true friend like youuuuuuuuuu !!!!!!!!

I am sure you will send a add request to my buddy. I will send you his FB link you can add it, but he will accept if you are to his range.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1125754834

Lemme finish it up here.

I hope our friendship goes in the same way – close and with true sharing till we breathe our last breath.

Love you Vivek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Happy New Year Folks!

Joe in 2010 A Retrospect!!!!

2010 was yet another fantastic year!!

As every year, it started with my family and of course in a Holy Place with God’s Blessings THE CHURCH!!!

It was a great turning point of the year because I stepped into a new stage of my life, yes its CAREER STAGE. I have started my career as a Business Head in an advisory services company. I am really thankful to God that he gave me a wonderful opportunity. Apart from that loads of tours and hangs were there of course with friends and family. Rare meetings, ups and downs, more have shared below.

I am just sharing the Best of the events of 2010!!

Family:

When it came to family, it was a special year. June 14^th 2010 => Dad and Mom’s Silver Jubilee Anniversary, really I was very happy for them and just prayed and wished that they should continue their Journey in the same way. Health wise Dad and Mom was absolutely good and they did kept good health.

But the special event happened was my Chithu’s Marriage. It was a great gathering which happened on my Birthday Nov 8^th. Almost all the family members turned out for that day; really it was a blessed and a memorable day. Highlights => Kutties running around, new dresses & responsibilities. http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/11/chachus-marriage.html

My kutti bro Michael has grown up and has become very naughty, he has started to talk very much and has gained many friends and surroundings. Apart from that Uncle is doing well and Chithi’s Ph.D is progressing in a very good way.

One of mama has completed his dream project of building a planned home. I was part of the house warming ceremony it was really a happy moment in our family.

Professional:

Professional Life was a huge turn around in 2010. The year starting I was pursuing my MBA project, and in the month of April 2010 I completed my project and ran away to Nellai. Then in the month of June my Final Sem MBA Viva and then followed by results were out with good percentage, I was little upset because my Student Life was over but I was very happy that I got rid of the hell Jail College. I guess in the month of August myself and friends Vivek and Vijay went to college to collect the certificates and said big bye bye Vanakkam to the Jail.

Coming to the break through it was in my Career. It stated on June 24^th 2010. Yes, I got a call from my Business Mentor suddenly one fine night in the month of May stating “Joe, where are you? When are you coming to Chennai? Let me know when you come want to meet and tell one important thing in person.” After I was back from my tour I went there and he told me “Joe here is an opportunity for Business Head would you likes to take up?” I bet how many of you will get such an opportunity. I really Thank and Appreciate my Boss, VJ and Abi who paved the way for my career in some or other way. Business life so far has gone good and particularly in the month of December 2010, lots of things happened, many big projects have paved the way for my Company, just have to organize my activities and grab the opportunity lying ahead of me. “Rome Was Not Built in a Day” so I have to keep feeding my hard work and routine work with strategies to build the Rome. Year end I am wrapped up with loads of project, I am happy that 2011 will fetch me more $$ out of those projects.  I am learning new things in Business and would like to be a learner always.

Social:

Well to be honest this dint turned out to be fruitful year compared to the last year, but may be one good thing I did, was donated fees for two students of Municipality School, Tambaram from the money which was remaining from the Farewell money of the college. Since I was one of the contributors of little money with pride I can tell I did something good in 2010, but it gave me only some satisfaction. Hope in 2011 I actively participate in something good.

Tours / Trips & Hang Outs:

The Farewell of Feb 24^th 2010 really turned out to be an unforgettable day in my life. Last Movie of my college life followed by Sachin’s 200 which gave the right toast to the Student Life.

Then the great Kodaikanal Trip with my PG friends, don’t want to bore you already I have posted about it, for those who dint read check out this link, http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/06/kodaikanal-trip.html.

Le Pondy trip was yet another memorable trip with my School folks. Check out the link, http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/11/le-pondy.html.

Then alas few hang outs and get together with School friends in Al Arab, and with UG Friends in Restaurants were there of course, and also some hang outs in Nellai again with School Friends, catch out for pictures in my album.

One of the most precious trip was my Jessy Chithi yes it was a wonderful day with Benjamins, http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/07/24-hours-with-benjaminss.html.

A rarest meet was with my Bro KK, met him after nearly 11 long years. It was a very special day for me.

Apart from this few movie hang outs were also there for Enthiran 1^st day 1^st show with gang and then Boss Movies were some of the major hang outs.

Last hang out this year was in Aneesh’s home in the month of December. He is blessed with a beautiful girl baby Akshara, we all folks assembled in his home and continued by that a Party. Wow it was a great night, semma sapaadu, koothu , roaming, driving etc.

Few plans with my School friends were dropped out because of my Work Schedule. I was little upset over that.

Friends / Surroundings & Social Networking:

Well as every year goes the count of Friends kept increasing at a steady rate. There was a huge disappointment from one of my friend. The turnaround decision he has taken shocked me and he also broke my Trust. I will never forgive him for my Life time for sure. Don’t want to tell anything more in public forum.

Apart from that another friend of mine whom I had a big difference of opinion got rejuvenated back into my life. I was damn happy for that.

Still awaiting for a breakthrough for my one of my close PG friends & few close friends who are looking for a change in their Career. They are always in my prayers for a good start at least in the year 2011.

Then last Facebook, brought a big change in my life. FB tuned up my life in such a way that I started sharing about my happenings rather others asking Wass Up Joe !!!!!!!!! Well FB is obviously meant for that. Usuage of ORKUT has reached to extinction.

Personal Life:

As the heading suggest, it will be personal, but there was a huge turn around in my life. Stepped into a wrong step but recovery was fast. Guys if your guessing something fishy then you are wrong. My close folks, Vivek, Pradeep, Dinesh^2, Dhilip knows about it. It was my friend Vivek who said “Mamz, the best is yet to come”.

But I am still continuing to be SINGLE!!!!!!! Trusting I will continue to be Single.

Hobbies and Interest:

Hmmm was not able to concentrate much on my Photoshop this year, but Blogging was active atleast once in a Month with some interesting and some Nonsense posts was sure on the Blog Page.

Coming to my Love, The love for Woods and Strings was very high. I have learnt fast this year to play my instrumental babe. Now I am able to change all the Chords to damn speed, yet to give the Grade exams in May 2011 and learn Notations.

Highlights / Key Events:

Surprise Birthday Party in native; really it brought tears into my eyes that night. http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/11/blessed-birthday.html.

Apart from that my Career break through was another break through. Visited Nellai twice this year and during the first visit stayed for nearly a month, really enjoyed a lot this time out there in nellai.

Yeah alas owned an android babe after 5 years. For more info check out this  http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-name-is-scorpio-and-i-am-not-car.html

Key Focus in 2011:

Profession will and should take the lead role in the upcoming year; huge projects are ahead I have to organize it careful with Strategies to make it happen. It will happen with Mentorship of my Guru, Blessings from my family and relative, wishes & Cheers from friends like you and alas God’s Touch.

It’s too early to hunt for a girl, but my Ninju, Jessy Chithi’s and Hepsi Akka are urging because they want a get together, but it all depends on God’s plan.

Then to be honest have to reduce my Weight well that will be a difficult task to do that.

Coming to Friends I have to maintain the same momentum to the maximum possible with them, every other friend is getting busy day by day, so don’t know how far things will turn out in the coming future.

To summarize it was 2010 was yet another great and blessed year for me, but the best is yet to come!!

Hope Aal Izz Well in the upcoming year 2011!!!

I owe you all for  your support, wishes, love, tags, comments etc. etc  in the year 2010, expecting the same from you all in the upcoming year 2011.  

Happy New Year folks!!!

My First Theatre Experience

How to start ?? Ok, how many of you remember your first big screen movie? I bet very few will remember but I remember very well.

Guess what would have been the movie? It was Jurassic Park folks! I was in 3^rd Grade, when Jurassic Park hit the big screens. Hmm if I am not wrong the theatre was Natraj Theater Delhi.  I was never been to theater before that I was totally thrilled to go and watch a movie in the big screen. I never knew the movie too will be thrilling lol!

We guys were taken to theatre from School for the movie. All guys were made to sit in a single row. Well the movie started and we guys having fun, but the real thrill started in the middle of the movie. Hope you all remember the Car Scene when the Dino come near the break down car and peeps into the window. I was really pissed off; myself and my friend Hariyank went inside the Theatre Seats in fear. After few minutes only we came to our seats. Apart from that really enjoyed the Dino and direction of Spielberg. The whole movie was action cum thrill packed but for me it was real a nostalgic experience.

(This was the scene I was referring to you folks)

The movie ended and when I returned home, both Mom and Dad were very eager to hear my reviews about my first experience of the Big Screen. I shared my experience with full of enthusiasm. Dad still said the first dialogue of mine was “Daddy I saw a big T.V”

I don’t remember much what happened in the movie but just remember some glances of the movie and what happened on the day.

This may be a short post but just thought of sharing with you folks.

Cheers for your support and comments. 

Tips For Staying Young !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Chase

Another post from my personal life.

This is the most memorable incident in my life, it happened when I was in 3^rd grade. I am posting it with reference to whatever I remember and also with some narration from my parents.

I was in Palam, Delhi at that time studying in I.A.F School. During those days morning Dad used to drop me in school while returning I used to come in School bus. As I am naughty now I was the same naughty at that time itself. While getting down from the bus, I never used to carry my bag, instead used to get down first and collect the bag from the window from my friend, but on that particular day it was not a normal day, it turned out to be a thrilling day. I got down from the bus and went near the last window of the bus to collect the bag from my friend, but unfortunately before I was able to collect the bag the bus started.

Guys the thrill started here, what you people expect would have happened?

If you have guessed that I would have ran behind the bus, you are right. It was a damn busy road almost like Ashok Pillar road junction and I ran behind the bus like a mad guy crying “my bag”, “my bag”. I dint notice traffic and any vehicles, but just was focussed on the bag, because of the age factor. I bet everyone were curious with our things, those young days and we used to cry if something goes out of our hands, so was the same with me. My friend in the bus too dint notice that I am running behind and also dint inform the cleaner bhaiya that I dint collect the bag.

I ran for almost 1-2 km’s behind the bus. There was another fun behind the scene. It was my friend Mohan who got down from the bus saw the whole scene. He was my neighbour so went to home and informed a tragic situation, he said Joe is being dragged by Bus and taken away by it. All of them got worried. Mom was in School and Dad was in office. Those days there were no Hand phone facilities and even proper landline connections in every home. Mohan’s mom couldn’t pass on the message but she asked Mohan’s elder brother Ashok to look for me.

Meanwhile on the scene, I couldn’t run to the speed of the bus so just stopped at one point. But at that time only I realized that I was in the middle of the road.  After that I guess somehow came to the pedestrian path. It was noon 2 and was damn hot climate in Delhi. I was crying to the extreme because thought my Bag is gone for once for all. Then Ashok anna somehow followed the route through which bus goes and found me crying and walking. Then I guess I said I wanted to go and meet mom, so he took to mom’s school. There I told mom what happened, my mom is very much sensitive lady and Love me so much because I was the only child, she just hugged me tightly with tears and asked me not to do such acts in future.

Then later in the evening Ashok anna collected the bag in the 2^nd trip and gave me the bag. Meanwhile Dad came in the evening, I feared Dad would come and beat me but when mom narrated everything he called me anger tone, I became nervous and came near him. He lifted me and said “Joe Kutta” “Joe Kutta” twice with tears in his eyes. Mom still says, dad just hugged me and kissed me on my forehead. He then advised me not to do such heroic acts.

Really I could hardly remember anything those scenes, just remember the running behind the bus and hug of Mom. Don’t remember even the hug of Dad.

So this was the thrilling Chase of my Life. I don’t why God gave me such an experience, may be for that two hugs with tears from Dad and Mom or for running practise in the middle of the busy junction lol. Anyways it’s a past. I always thank God, that on that particular day nothing strange and bad incident happened.

Cheers for the people who read this post and owe for your support by reading it.

Driving in a Rainy Day

16^th of November 2010.

It was a dull sunny day at the start of the day. At about 7 it started to drizzle. But I had to move on and go to office. At about 8 wore my jerkin and started to drive, but when I crossed Chrompet uff, the size of drops increased and I was unable to drive further, but had no other go there were no shelter to stop too, so decided lets zoom and splash the waters in the road. Crossed the Airport road, really it was real fun. But my pant was drenched almost 98%. Then I saw a man selling jerkin with pants, after some bargains got the rain pant and continued the splash. Later at about 9.30 reached the office.

The rest of the day it was raining to its peak, I was wondering how I am gonna drive because for such rain all the roads gets blocked with water.

The real fun was in the evening, from the start it was raining at its peak, I was safe inside the coat so was very happy and drove in the midst of heavy rain. But the happiness went after some time; rain was too heavy that water droplets came inside glass of the helmet that is when the real trouble started. I hardly could see anything, almost only 5% vision was possible. But still I continued, because my plan was to drive what so ever happen. The real fun was when I jumped all the signals even though it was in RED. I dint mind was in full swing to drive away. Almost when I came to Tirusulam, a biker came so speeding that he tried to do the over taking by sliding with little scene, but he forgot that the roads will be slippery. He was dragged to almost 50m in the slippery road but he was safe because no vehicles came from behind. Almost everyone stopped and urged for help. But he was well built man, and to our surprise immediately stood up, he was wearing leather jacket and thick denim so it dint hurt him much. He gave an innocent smile, and drove with the same speed. Really I don’t know whether he was hurt or not. But I continued the drive. I know it will be damn tough near my home i.e. Camp Road to drive, and to my expectation the road was in the bad condition. Waters were clogged almost to bike silencer height, I dint give up, came down to 1^st gear and just drove with full speed.

Really just loved it, I was not at all wet too. Personally thank God I dint had any bad situations and mishap but zooming the road in heavy rain is something a rare drive.

I hope many of you would have experienced such situations but this is my personal best drive in rain so far.

Cheers for you people to read this post and for your support. 

A Blessed Birthday !!!

2010 Birthday turned out to be the most memorable birthday to me because it was a special one for me. I was excited because my chachu was getting married on the same day and also it was my birthday.

I expected it to be a normal Birthday. But it turned out to be a super duper birthday for me.

It was 7^th night around 11.00 p.m. I returned from the marriage hall after arranging all the decorations for the next day marriage, as I expected none of my family members were sleeping because it was a rare occasion when all of us meet so all were in loud tone laughing and chit chatting and all. I just came and was lying in a long bench since I had no place in the floor.

It was around 11.50 p.m. when the real surprise started. My Sekar mama suddenly shouted Michael in very huge tone we all were surprised, after 5 minute his mobile started to sing Happy Birthday Song, Light were off and Michael mama came with a cake with 24 candles in his hands. I was overwhelmed and almost in tears.

My friends started to ping me,so i went upstairs  it was my friend Benet who started the rally, then followed by my sister and then Dinesh. Then my last mama Mano called me and asked to keep the phone on till the party ends. I asked what party he said go and see down you will have a surprise.

So when I returned all my grandma’s and grandpa’s came to upstairs room where we all were there and in another 2 min the room was packed with kutties and nearly 15 family members. I was shell shocked. OMG all the family members were busy in doing some marriage work left it and came to celebrate the birthday bash.

The celebration started with a Gospel song, followed by cake cutting and I distributed the cakes to all the family and kutties. Then family prayers which Saroja Ammamma did it, then My Mehala Ammamma presented me a Gift. I was so happy because my Selvaraj thatha and Ambika ammamma were there with me for this birthday. They were the one who used to be always for my birthday in Delhi right from my 1^st Birthday to 9^th Birthday. Really missed my Ninju and Jessy Chithi because I had a great 1^st 9 birthday celebrations with them in Hinden ,Kanpur and Delhi.

(Gospel Song and Prayer)

Followed by got blessings from all my elders and wishes and kisses from kutties. Wow it was a real Birthday and Cherish able Birthday celebration for me.

The party wasn’t over all the family members who were sleeping turned up into excitement mode and started to chit-o-chat in full swing. The marriage was early morning from 6.00 a.m. to 7.00 a.m. Then it was Raja mama who started to say ok ok its time up lets relax for some time and get up at 4.00 a.m but the time was almost 1.30 a.m. lol !!!!

I just relaxed in a corner in a big table and dozed off. But it was Prem mama who came from Chennai early morning at 4.00 a.m. came and wished me Happy Birthday. The day started for me lol !!

Then it was Vivek my friend who slept off I guess at 12 woke up and sent me a message thinking I must be sleeping then I called him up and he wished, then Pradeep called me up at 5.30 a.m.

Thus the day started, dressed up and went to the hall. Not many know that it was my Birthday so I got escaped lol !!

In the midst was getting calls in a row from my dear ones and relatives. Then noon came and slept off  for a while and evening again work started. 

I will narrate the memories of my Bhaiya’s marriage in detail in my next post in a separate title.

Thus this is how my birthday turned out to be. Though it was just a matter of 24 hours, the things which happened seemed to be like of 2 days.

To me it was blessed Birthday because all the elders and relatives at one shot on my day wishing and unexpected celebrations all together made my day a memorable one. I am really blessed to be a part of such a beautiful and wonderful family. Always I thank God for giving me such a wonderful family.

I would like to end by repeating the message to all my friends who wished on for my birthday “I owe and appreciate all ma folks for ur b'day wishes. It means alot to me and all those wishes made my day and I will continue to cherish our frndship. 

Love u all folks !”

Chachu’s Marriage

It was yet another family festive / get together which incidentally happened on my Birthday, I was so excited because it was my dearest Chachu’s Marriage and also my B’Day. I was also happy because I celebrated my birthday and got blessings from all my elders.

Nov 7^th myself, dad, mom, chithi, chitappa and thambi boarded the train, and to our surprise Michael mama was also in the same train who was travelling from Mumbai, really we chatted till late night and had Chappati and Pepper Chicken as dinner...... it was yummy.

The next morning we reached Tirunelveli, I know I will have a jam packed day because all were expecting my presence for all the works. As I expected the moment I got fresh, Raja mama came and asked me to go and check whether all items for cooking and decorations are ready. One thing I had an advantage I got a Kinetic Honda with full tank of fuel in it lol. Then finished that and returned at 1 in the noon, at 1.10 my Chachu i.e. Kalyana mappillai, said he wanted to buy Make up sets, Shoe and Belt.

Then went with him and retuned only at 3 and had lunch. Then what rest uh ?? no no, my akka came and said arrange extra vans for going to Bride’s home needed to be arranged, then went and arranged. Mean while akka took me to jewellery shop for some purchase. Then evening some function and dinner in the hall was held and night I had to stay back for the decoration works. Uff, I came back at about 11 in the night, there everyone were in full swing doing chit-o-chat, well that is a tradition of our family to not to sleep the whole night the day before marriage because that is only night we all spend and meet each other after years. Then it was my unexpected birthday party, I have posted in detail in my next post.

Then after the party none of my family members had the intension to sleep, I somehow managed to get a bench in which just relaxed and could relax. Then it was an early morning marriage all dressed up and went for the marriage, it was so exciting day because it my dearest Chachu’s marriage. In between there were excitements like bursting crackers, fun with kutties, dance and some unforgettable moments. The whole day went like a flash, and then afternoon came and slept off. Then evening, my grandpa woke me and asked me join to count all the MOI MONEY, did that counting work. It was quite healthy collection lol. Then night I had to arrange the dinner for all.

It was indeed a special marriage for one more reason, for the first time lots of responsibilities came to me for all works like money settlements that too I was roaming with 20k, decoration in-charge, food in-charge, logistics in-charge. Before that I may have done only small works maximum serving, but this time supervising the serving and under me were my younger mama’s. Many now consider me as a grown up kid in my thoughts and ideas and they gave me all the works. Already for this chachu’s engagement it was only me who did all the works, so they saw my efforts and raised my value. I was happy that I did all the works, because it was always urge in my mind to do such things, because I don’t have any siblings I think cha I am really unlucky that I couldn’t do such works. I always admire my friends when they work hard for their sister / bro’s marriage. Really when I experienced on my own I got to know the real fun with responsibility in it. I am so blessed to be part of such a wonderful family.

The next day after the marriage was the packing day, but till noon had works, because had to settle the money for Video coverage, then hall so again was in move. Then it was almost 5 when I packed up and boarded the train. It looked like some flash visit for 3 days and 4 nights but it was a memorable trip.
