He not lifting head from newspaper
He: Enna thonradho adha pannu maa
She: Ippadi sonna enna panradhu?
He: Hmmmm
She: Enna hmmm? Kaettundu irukken la
He lifts head thinks for a second and says
He: urulai kezhangu
He, now searches for the paragraph he was reading
She: Nethu dhaane seppan kezhangu saaptom. Innikum kezhanga?
He: Seri, vendakkai
She: Ayye
He sighs, folds the newspaper and then says
He: Seri beans pannu
She: Haan. Beans panren
Happily he picks up his newspaper again
She: Veruma pannatuma, illai thengai poattu pannatuma
He: Thengai poattu
She: Thengai poatta, avlo kaarama irukkadhe
He scratches head
He: Err. Beans unakku pidikkume maa

Ferrari have you read stories by the old humourist ‘Kadugu’ ? Most of the stories are about the henpecked narrator and his wife Kamala. Your he/she shorts remind me of him. Particularly this last one reminds me my favourite ‘Kamalavum Katthirikkai Koottum’.
The sory is on th same lines. Suggestions are shot down (Podi thoovi - romba kaaram), (ennai katthirikkai - ‘enna unga akka maadhiri eppe paaru ennai pandam’),(rasavaangi- ‘ippo thane pannen’) etc. Finally .
Kamala: Appo Katthirikai kootta pannindava
Husnabd: Hmmm
Kamala: Sari Appo neenge sonna maadhiri kathirikkai kootte pannindren !

Guys, hold on hold on. Avanga (SHE) vegetables mattum thaan vangindu vara sonanga. Think what would have happened if, SHE asked HE to cook the food. I know in many houses, HE thaan Samayal.
on 25 Aug 2005 at 6:31 pm # Uma
Ravi, HE samayal panna thappaaa enna?
on 25 Aug 2005 at 6:32 pm # Neha
Ferrari very untrue. Why should the females bother about what food shouls be cooked? adhellam samaikkaravangaloda kavalai
on 25 Aug 2005 at 7:15 pm # Ravi
Uma, naan HE samayal panna thappunnu sollave illai. In fact in HE (Read as my) house HE (Read as I) cook.

You think Jeans potta Thamizhachis can make Parupu usili? Wakeeeeeeeee up!
Most of their culinary skills are based on instant mixes.

I actually understood this one:P in my case it cd be the T.V, Computer or the newspaper:p
on 25 Aug 2005 at 10:29 pm # vee-jay
Jacky, not too sure I agree with you. jeans potta tamizhachis can make paruppusili and puliyodarai better than pudavai kattina mamis

Neha, your question is very, very valid. Badhil sollunga, ferrari.

Ferrari, this is how the he/she dialogues go at my place.
When I visit Mr.P
=================
Mr.P: enna samaikkattum?
Me: nee enna panninaalum sandosham. enakkum oruththar samaiyal paNNi tharen-nu solraangaLE, adhuvE pOdhum.
And I eat what he makes quietly.
When Mr.P comes over
====================
Me: What should I make?
Mr.P: enna venumnaalum paNNumma.
So I cook whatever.
At dinner table,
Mr.P: indha chappathi kooda evanaavadhu dry sabji paNNuvaana?
Me: Err. My dad likes it this way and so do I.
Mr.P: Chapathi is a dry dish. To complement it, gravy sidedish is the way to go. un samayalE sariyilla!
Me: naan thaan kEttene - unakku enna vEnumnu. You could’ve told me then.
Mr.P: appdi ellaam specify paNradhu bad manners.
Me: appo after the event comment adikkaradhu good manners-a?
Next time, I’ll take Mr.P to a restaurant
Priya.
