In the year 2003, there was this cultural programme in our company. The company size was small and they said whoever joined recently must participate in something. I was quite curious on what all things were happening and discovered that a group of girls were dancing for the song ‘Babuji zara dheere chalo’. I remarked ‘I dont know to dance, but I can appear as the buffalo in this song’. I thought it was a smart remark and will make people laugh. Instead the choreographer who was in earshot(Which I came to know later) liked the idea very much. As a result, I danced for that song dressed in the bull costume (Though technically the head looked like that of a grizzly bear in black) with all girls around me. Looking back, I think thats the craziest thing I have done in my life, so far!

Last night around 7.30 PM CET, 12 AM IST I suddenly started getting hiccups. I was wondering if someone was missing me, and thats why I had these hiccups. Immediately my flatmate(not roommate) also started getting hiccups. Only then I realised the rasam I made was too spicy

What’s the craziest thing you have done?

My dear KC,

How are you?
Have you heard the song that is sung by the maamis post kasi yaathrai, during oonjal?
The song goes like this.

Paalale kaal alambi
Pattaale thudaithu
maNi thengai kaiyil koduthu
maNjal neer suzhatri(?)
laali

I have 3 queries

1. Isn’t laali a kind of lullaby? Why would they want the bride and groom to sleep during the oonjal ceremony?
2. What is maNi thengai?
3. Shouldn’t it be manjaL neeradi? How can you suzhatru liquid? My well informed source says it was ‘manjaL neeradi’ before and later changed to ’suzhatri’ as lots of udanpirappus printed posters like ‘23 aavadhu vatta seyalaaLarin iRaNdaavadhu magaLin manjal neeratu vizhaviRku varugai tharum thalaivarai varuga varuga ena varaverkirom’.

Looking forward to your answers

Regards

Last weekend, few of us went to a place called Gunnebo in Mölndal county on the outskirts of Göteborg. To be frank, we had no idea what the place was famous for apart from the castle. By the time we left Smyckegatan it was close to noon, and there was no sign of sun, though the weather prediction for the day was partly cloudy!

Yesterday, I had gone to a friends place near my house. He had come over the weekend from Bangalore. I will not get to the details of entire conversation except for the last part.

He: You look quite tired
Me: Yeah. Feeling sleepy
He: Have this
(He gave me a laddoo kind of thing)
Me: Whats this?
He: Its called kobre undi. Its a kind of laddoo. Quite tasty. Have it
Me: Thank you
(After I had it)
He: Feeling better?
Me: Sorry?
He: In our place, they give this ladoo everyday to the guy who is getting married. So that he has enough energy before first night.
Me: !!!!
He: Liked it?
Me: Yeah. Thank you. Good night.

P.S. I had a sound sleep.

Jodha Akbar is one album that I have been waiting for quite sometime. UTV’s delays didn’t help much either. There are totally 7 songs of which, two of them are instrumentals. We all know how much ARR pays attention to finer details. In this album he takes these minor things to an all new level. Usually people complain that one doesnt get to hear the lyrics properly in ARR’s songs. They must listen to Jodha Akbar. In fact he seems to have used so many instruments but no where the lyrics drown in the music Its a pleasure to listen to such a wonderful album.
