Mother...This is for you...

You carried me...
You cared for me...
You ate healthy foods for me...
You have suffered a lot to give birth to me...

With all your pain
I born well...
With your affection
I started to grow...
Whatever I liked
You satisfied me...
You are very strict
When I was careless...
Whenever Iam angry
You shed tears for me...
You prayed for me
To become a good girl...
You did'nt slept
By thinking of my future...
Whenever Iam confused
You are my best friend...
How many times you got scoldings from father
Just for me...
Its my luck
To get you as my mother...
What can I do
To equalise this mother...
Iam sure
Your prayers, dreams will come true soon...
Love you Mother...

God, Please give long life to our mother...

Being Straightforward....

I used to be straightforward. I thought this is a good quality. Ya, ofcourse it is. But, this is not suited for our present environment. I had a great lesson bcoz of
this.

Iam bold enough to say whether others are doing good or bad, even to my elders. I will say what iam thinking. I just compare their wrong things with me. If so, I will try to change my own fault before telling to others.

One of my roommate, she is elder than me. She is still doing some mistakes and she wont accept it when pointed. She is polite only. I should accept it. By pointing her mistakes, she thought me as a person, who never understands.

So, just think before, when you are saying anything negative about a person.

When any person appreciates our qualities, we used to show more affection to them. At the same time, if they pointed out our negative things, we are very rude to them. This is nature.

Will you think of me...

At present
When you are smiling
Iam not with you
To enjoy it...

At present
When you are crying
Iam not with you
To give my shoulder...

At present
When you are sleeping
Iam not with you
To make you sleep well...

But
When you think of me
Iam always with you
To make your heart full of my love...

Will you think of me...

Early in the morning...

Though its difficult to wake in the morning
Iam active afterwards...
I will get ready soon
To catch my bus...
I will sit in the window seat
This is my precious moment...

I will inhale the fresh air
This is pollution free...
I will see the sunrise
What a beauty...
Our bus will go fast
As its traffic free...

Iam sure many are missing it
Iam enjoying it...

Raksha Bandhan....

Brother...
A seven letter magic.

Brother...
A relation in addition to my own siblings.

Brother...
An ultimate protector of me and my family.

Brother...
A friend, wellwisher, guardian,.....

Brother...
Though you are far away from me...your sister's thoughts are always with you.

Brother...
I should thank God for giving you as my bro.

Brother...
Happy Raksha Bandhan bro... be my anna always...

Pain of Love.....

When my buddies told about this
I just thought its a feeling...
But, when I fallen in this
Iam realising it...

I was bold to face anyone
But, when I saw you
I was lacked of words...
The way you hold my hands
It showed your gentleness, affection...
This is what I wanted
Its enough for me to live...

Now, I understood
This is the most joyful feeling...
And also
This is the most painful feeling...

What a Pity?....

I was in a bus, when I saw a small boy around 8 to 10 years, who was begging for money. Iam a softhearted girl, I always used to give money to such people. Most of my friends scold me for doing like this. So, this time I was sure not to give money to that boy. Thank God, he didnt came near to me. After that, when my bus started moving, I saw that boy with his mother and sister (I think so..). I was very upset, bcoz his mother was buying something from his money. They seems to be physically well. Why can't she do some work and save her children. This hurts me a lot... No one in the political is taking a right action against this issue.

Proper action should be taken to those who are spitting on the way. Immediate
punishments should be given like other places. Then only our India will become a good nation. I don't know when this will happen......

Chillarai Conductor....

As my company is in Thiruvanmiyur, I used to travel from Thiruvanmiyur towards Porur regularly. Two conductors were very familiar to us and they are kind too. Another one was familiar to us, but he was very rude to the passengers. The way he treats was very bad. We dont like him. Whenever he comes, immediately he tells us to keep our change correctly as he had no change with him. If the person is not having change, he immediately stops the bus and ask that person to get down soon. He even uses harsh words. So, we had given a name to him as "Chillarai Conductor".

See, its the duty of a conductor to bring some required changes when he gets into the bus. Bcoz of him, all were generally scolding the conductors. This hurts the others who are good in their work.....

Just be careful.....

We went to Okkenakkal in our final year tour. After playing in water, we had our boat riding. I can't remember the name of boat (adhanppa... film-la rounda thattu maathiri irukkumae...). Usually iam scared of boat riding (adhuvum intha boat-la.... suththam...). Finally, we agreed to travel in that boat. Our friends splitted in to 6 to 7 and started to take different boats.

We around 6 girls took a boat. That boat rider asked us to sit properly. Atlast we started our ride. In the midway of our journey, the water level was very close to
our boat height (konjam shake aanaa kuda thanne ulla vandhudum....erkanavae boat ulla iruntha thanneeyala enga dress eeramaayeduchu....ithu verayaa..). My friend thought to put her fingers in the water as it is so close. Suddenly, that boat rider shouted at her, not to put her fingers in the water.

Then he said, ten days before our journey, a group travelled just like us including a kid. When the kid enjoyed himself by waveing his fingers in the water, an unexpected thing happened. A crocodile caught his hand. It was pulling him hardly that the boat seems to have a tilt. Immediately, that boat rider asked his mother to leave his child to the crocodile or everyone will die. After great
difficulty the child has been taken by that crocodile.

We were stunned by hearing this. we are in the midway (emppa... intha nerathulayaa ippadi solrathu... romba kashtamdhaan.... aanaa enakku ippa uyirae illaatha maathiri oru feeling....).

By God's grace, we reached safely to the land. That was my worst experience. So, friends be careful while you are boating. Okey......

How to pronounce my name?....

I should thank Kuttipriya for giving such a nice idea of making others happy (try pandren pa). I happened to read her blog regarding her name and its way of pronouncing. Then i remembered, my name is also pronounced differently.

Here Iam writing...

My parents kept my name as Kalaiselvi becoz of Goddess Kalaivani...

When people pronounce my name differently, my head is suthefying (adaanppa thali sutharathu..)

My cousin, he is now studying 3rd standard. When he was 2 years old, he used to call me as "Kalee akka" (ennathu kaleeya...). When I was talking to my mama through phone, I will ask him to call his son (kutty paiyen ella, pesa aasaya irukkum). Then he calls his son and says "un Kali akka line-la irukkaa da". Then my cousin says "Kali akka nallaa irukkeya". I was happy to hear his voice but
that "Kali" is disturbing a lot.

Thank God, now he is talking as "Kalai akka, samartha irukkanum" (enna pandrathu, romba periya manushan solran, ketuthaan aaganum).

In my school days, some will call me as "Kalai" and some will call me as "Selvi" or "Kalaiselvi" (eethu evvalavoo paravaa ella).

During my college life, one lecturer used to call me as "Kaalai Selvi" (ennathu
kaalaiyaa.. naan enna maadaappa) bcoz of the seminaar i took (seerikkadeengappa... nallathaan eduthen, adanaala thaan anda peru).

After that, I heard someone calling me as "Kolaiselvi" (ethu romba... ovaru. naan enna kolaiya panna poren).

Romba mosamppa... ennoda appa, amma saamy pera vecha, ippadi pannaa eppadi...

Vijay TV is Amazing....

Now, Vijay TV is doing a very great job.

Few months before, though we have many channels, we used to stick to Sun TV (especially for the serials). Now things have changed.

By having many programs like Airtel Super Singer Senior, Grand Master, Kalakka Povathu Yaru, Jodi No.1, Jodi No.1 Challenge, Airtel Super Singer Junior, now Jodi No.1 Season 2..., it obviously attracted many people towards it.

Don't think that Iam against Sun TV and other channels. With this tough competition, Vijay TV is doing its level best. We have to appreciate it. Hats off....

By exposing many talents, it created an eager expectations...

Good Work Vijay TV....

What a Humanityy...

When I was travelling in bus from Thiruvanmiyur to Butt Road, I happened to see a lady who got into the bus in Madhya Kailaash stopping. She was not that much fair, but seems to be homely. I can't stop glancing her, becoz she is pregnant. I guessed that she is nearly 8 to 9 months. The bus is not that much crowd. Conductor told her to take an empty seat which is in the back. But the lady told that she can't sit in the back. That was clear, its dangerous to her.

I was sitting in the middle of the bus. She was far away from me. What made me sad is, those who are sitting in the womens seat near to her are young girls.

Its obvious that they are physically well and they are chatting. No one thought to give her a seat.

I felt guilty and I asked the person in front of me to call her. Then I gave my seat to her. I thought to stand but luckily I got a seat that too next to her. She told me that in her previous journey, no one helped her and she travelled by standing all the way. This made me shame. I just told her to avoid travelling and take care.

Why ladies? See.. She is not pretending. I don't know where the kindness with you are gone.

Iam not blaming males. How can I blame them when ladies are simply sitting? Think......

Funny Translations

This is about the English movies, which are translated in Tamil.

Recently i happened to see the Mummy movie in Tamil. I had already watched it in English. It was very serious not knowing what is going to happen in the end. But when i saw it in Tamil, i can't stop laughing. The reason is the way they translated it. The actress is saying "Paatheengala naan eppadi kandu pudichennu". Actually, the Mummy and its slaves are coming to grab them. Not knowing that she is saying like that.

Another one is Jackie's Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. In this movie Owen Wilson and Jackie are becoming friends. Owen is actually a thief, who steals many things especially in trains. In Tamil, he is a pakka local thief using words like "eeppa eennaa solra nee" "eennaa appaala vareeya" "eennaa summa kooveganae irukka" and many more. This is really funny to watch.

If you got a chance to watch it in Tamil, don't miss it. Enjoy....

A Painful Argument

I and my roommates had an argument about gods and goddesses. Ours is a four members room. Of these three of them are hindus and one elder akka is a christian. We used to have great respect on her. Whenever we start discuss interestingly about our gods, goddesses, prayers, fastings, etc., she often interrupts and says that hindu gods and goddesses had a very luxury life, they had many powers, etc. She immediately starts to tell us about Jesus and his simplicity life. She often dominates us. Though we have lots of points to argue with her, we used to maintain silence. The reason beyond this are, she is elder than us, we dont want to hurt her and ofcourse we have great respect on Jesus and Allah.
According to my thought, God is one. We people, used to have different names to pray according to our wish.
To me Jesus, Allah, Ganesh, etc., are all equal.This is not to hurt anyone, just to make you all think.....
