It's 18+ ..!!

No! It's not literally an 18+ post! Yet it portrays the journey of my life with my most favourite person for the past 18 years!

Who's a bestfriend? 
Is it the one with whom you have lots of selfies together! No. It's the one with whom you've lots of memories together..!
Is he the one who texts you from dawn to dusk? No. It's the one who reads your mind and texts according to your current mood!
Is he the one who says "As long as you're happy, I am"? No. It's the one who says "No bitch! I don't like the way he treats you!" boldly on your face! 

The one who's always there to cheer you up whenever needed without you asking for it. The one who gives clear ideas on everything you do. The one who had already analysed about the pros and cons of something that you have in your mind even before you expressing about it to them. The one who had silently enquired about the guy on whom you've an eye! The one who predicts about the flirting guys and warns you at the earliest! The one who constantly have an eye on you whenever you hang out with them. The one who cares for your safety as their own! 

Every above mentioned thing happened to me with this guy! I have known him since 1998. From being a toddler to a grown up woman, he has been with me during every phase of my life. We have shared everything right from the lunch box menu to career talks. He was the one who helped me out by spilling his ink when my pen ran out of ink and also he was the one who donated the blood when I was in need of it. (I know this is too much. But still adjust yourself as u always do) 😝

Right from my school bus ride to MTC bus ride, he makes sure that I reach the correct destination without any disturbance. He keeps on tracking every activity of mine and prevents the future ill happenings. He's the one who chooses the best for me. Be it a Facebook display picture or a costume to be worn or maybe my future groom! His choice would be the best!

It's said that guys won't accept their sisters/ friends 's love that easily, because they know about a guy's nature. He was the one who figured out the character of the guys who flirted with me. He was the one who warned about a guy with whom I was flirting. Even though our own set of close friends made fun by pairing us both, he was the one politely handled the situation without even getting tensed. Every time when we were put up with the question, " Hey are you guys in a relationship?" his reply would be "Nah! Even closer than a couple! BESTFRIEND " And he would console me later by saying "We both know who we were, we're and we'll be! Don't give a fuck to these idiots " 

It's said that "A guy and a girl can never be friends forever. One would have a crush on the other for atleast once in their life". I guess we proved the myth wrong. To be precise, He's my saturn and am his rings. Adhavadhu enaku 18 years munadi pudicha sani 😝😝 

Happy birthday Bala Karthick :) I know this is too long and not a cup of your tea. Yet I felt dedicating a post for you. 
Cheers to our 18+ many more years of friendship! 

உனக்கென்ன மேலே நின்றாய்!!

வாரும் பாரதியே!
போந்து நிற்பது தாய்சிவ சக்தியாம்
நாணும் அச்சமும் நாய்கட்கு வேண்டுமாம் என்றீர்,
சேலை போர்த்திய பதுமையைக்கூட,
காம கண்கொண்டு பார்க்கும் இக்கயவர்கள், நாயை விட இழிவானவர்களோ??

விலகி வீட்டிலோர் பொந்தில் வளர்வதை
வீரப் பெண்கள் விரைவில் ஒழிப்பாராம் என்றீர்,
எமது வீரமும் எம் வீட்டினரின் பயமும் ஒரு சேரக் கூடியது.
இவ்வஞ்சகர்களால், எமது நிலைமை,
அடுப்பூதும் பெண்கட்கு படிபெதற்கு என்று மறுபடியும் ஆகிவிடுமோ??

இக்காம வெறியர்களால், எமது நிமிர்ந்த நடையும் கூனியது,
நேர்க் கண்ட பார்வையும் குருடாகியது!
நேற்றோ நிர்பயா! இன்று  ஜிஷா!
நாளை யாரோ??

எனக்கென்ன என்று மேலே நின்று பாராமல்
தெய்வத்திற்கு தெய்வமாயிருந்து,
இம்மிருதர்களை தண்டித்து,
பார் போற்றும் ரதிகளாக,
எம் பெண்களைத் திகழச் செய்வீர்!!

A to Z Challenge - Day 26 - Zest!

Zest - a feeling you feel when you're going to feel a feeling that you have never felt before!!

Your crush having a crush on you may be imagination. Yet the feeling you get when you know that its real,is zest.

Engineering students know this feel well than any others. The feeling you get when clear the semester. Specially the Engineering Mathematics paper.

The feeling you get when your bestie too hates the person whom you hates the most.

That feeling you get when your wife and mom go hand in hand with each other!

The feeling when you accomplish something out of your passion.
Yes, it's zest for me on completing this A-Z Challenge successfully!! 

A to Z Challenge - Day 25 - You are responsible..!

It was midnight. The clock stuck half past 1. Vidya started from her office after finishing that day's work. She worked in Pacific timings shift. She dialled the number of cab driver who used to drop her at home regularly. Unfortunately, he felt sick and no cabs were available for her return to her Abode.

With her nerves bundled, she came to her office entrance searching for an alternate mode of transport. She saw her friend, Vijay approaching towards her. Having heard her problem, he accompanied her till the nearest bus stop and arranged her an auto. She expressed her gratitude. He gently refused it by saying "You're my friend. It's my responsibility to take care of you. Reach home safe and don't hesitate to ring me up incase of any problems"

While going in auto, her heart panicked.  Media shows up some of the auto drivers with negative image. And that's the root cause for her fear. After reaching her apartment, the driver didn't charge extra fare for the late night trip which many of them used to do. She thanked him for that. He in return said " Sister! Your safety is my responsibility. Take care" 

Her apartment watch man who was deep in his sleep, woke up on hearing the sounds at the gate. He accompanied Vidya till her flat without hearing a word when she refused. She felt sorry for awakening him from his sleep and said him the same. He politely replied as "You're like my daughter. Your safety is important to me. Its my responsibility " . She smiled back.

Even if she's not your sibling,girlfriend, friend or daughter, she is your fellow citizen. And you're responsible for her to lead a secured and peaceful life!

A to Z Challenge - Day 24 - Mr X!

Dear Mr X,
Its said that, "When wrong people leaves your life, right things begin to happen" and that's 100% true in my case. 
Thank you for making me tolerate everything!
Thank you for making me to judge people!
Thank you for making me to trust myself!
Thank you for bringing out the determination that was latent inside me!
Thank you for making me more courageous that I can bear anything now!
Thank you for making me to get along with negative minded people!
Thank you for showing your true colour at the earliest and saved my energy & money!
Thank you for shattering my heart that I have found the one who would love me to bits and pieces!

The girl who was once dependent on you for silly matters is now leading her life by all herself. Your words didn't make her weak. It made her even stronger. Consider yourself unlucky. For you have lost the person who loved you the most. I am indeed lucky that way. For I have lost the person who never loved me. 

Your departure led me to find my better half. Infact the best half. The one who loves me along with my past. The one who is solely responsible for my future. He expects nothing but my love. He never finds fault in me. Rather considers them as blunder and gives me the solution. I would miss you at times. But I never want you back.

Finally, Thanks a lot for going out of my life which made me to realise what TRUE LOVE is!!

Having read this, Vijay hugged his wife and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead with his eyes moist! Tears of love perhaps!

A to Z Challenge - Day 23 - Wedding Scenes.!

Wedding is a lovely platform for achieving greater heights. It's a strong basement which gives rise to even stronger building of life. Yet one can witness many funny scenes in a Tambrahm wedding. Given are the ones which attract/anger/entertain me in a Tambrahm wedding.

Advice sessions:
There will be many uncles, rather Mamas who would advise you on anything. Right from your academics to 'How to eat payasam?' they would give you loads n loads of advice! Right from rocket science to atomic stuff, they know anything and everything!
Some random mama to you: "Ena pa? Enga work pandraai?"
You: " XYZ company "
He: "Haan! Adhuva? Increment ae kuduka matene. Ennodu *some complicated relative* anga daan See Eee Ohh ah irkan. Konjam pathu pana choldren" 
And you would have a wide grin in your face.

Match - Making sessions:
Some mama and mami have no other work than fixing matches for the youth attending the event. Though the guy and the girl is no way related to them, they would try to match them out. Next kalyanam saapadu avaalku ready you see!

Showing - off sessions:
Right from the hight school girls to the middle aged lifshtick valinjing aunties, everyone shows off. Be it their diamond nosepin, silk saree, the branded foot wear, aadi thallubadi bag, those jasmine flowers amidst their plait or wig... They would show off like they have won 'The Miss World' award!

Photo sessions:
Taking selfies have become a regular habit these days. In a wedding you can witness many crazy poses. The girls at the reception with that cliche hand on hip pose. The couple and their friends with 'V' pose. The couple and their family with formal attention pose. Needless to say about the people who pose as if it's a candid one.

Food session:
The long wait after tolerating the above mentioned troubles, changes your mood when you hear the words " Saapadu ready!" 
My sole purpose to attend a wedding is for that delicious yummy three course meal! The pace of my heart beat increase as I see a lot of food items arranged in a banana leaf before me. Payasam is the king of desserts. Tambrahm wedding la andha rasam saadham sapadra sogame thani! 

At the end of the event, everyone's heart feels heavy when they see this scene of bride hugging her family with tear-filled eyes.! 

A to Z Challenge - Day 22 - Vote.

As Tamil Nadu elections are nearing, we can witness a lot of changes in our surroundings. The things which the government or opposition party had not done in these 5 years would be done just 5 months before the election. Sometimes I used to feel that we could have an election once in a 5 months rather than years by noticing these activities.

During the election manifesto, every party used to promise that they would make the nation better. Yet all their words would be in vain once they win. At the time of campaign, You would get some amount and goodies from those people. These days people are given some 5000 bucks by the candidate who contests. This 5000 is not for that particular day. That's for the entire 5 long years to come. So, if you divide that 5000₹ to all the days in forthcoming 5 yrs, you would end up having 0.27 paise per day. So do you want to sell yourself for just 0.27 paise??

A good ruling party must be set up so that every citizen gets his own rights. People must survive without the fear of theft,kidnapping or murder. Old men going for early morning walk should return home safe. A woman attending a function wearing a jewel must return home safe.  A common man should return from his office safe. A young college girl should return home safe. A kid must return from his school vacation safe. To be precise, the place where we live must be filled with safety and harmony. Henceforth, a good ruling party should be framed that makes the nation a better place to live in!

So, think not twice yet thrice before you vote. Not to be carried away by the fake promises and false oaths. Caste your Vote but never Vote your Caste!!
