Do you like kisses?

This happened when I was packing up from US to India. During my stay a lot of people at the hotel helped me with so many things. Among them was 'Tony' my cab driver. He used to take me out for shopping, indian stores, hotels and office using the Hotel's shuttle. So while am returning I wanted to gift him with something as a token of gratitude. So I asked Tony to come over to my room after his work.

I had planned to give him chocloates. My friend Anush told that the variety 'kisses' would be very good. So I decided to give him that variety. when 'Tony' came to my room, in that urge to give away the chocolate, I peeped into the fridge and was digging for this packet as there was a whole bunch of other chocolate packs (which i bought to bring to India). So here goes our conversation..

Priya: Hey Tony i thought of giving you small gift

Tony: Oh Rhea (he pronounces my name like that) thankyou but thats ok u pack for ur trip

Priya: No no .. I wanted to give u something. Do you like kisses?

Tony: !!!

Priya: When I peeped out of the fridge i realised what i asked and immediatley corrected - "Do you like kisses chocolates :("

Tony : Oh I luv chocolates any variety will be good. Thankyou Rhea!!

with loads of vazhichals :(((((((((((((((( i bade him gud bye :D

Nan killi paathen

Padma is known for her typos and typing tamil in english in our gang. Some should really use their brains to read and understand her messages . Few of the incidents which I remember.

Nan killi paathen
We were using IPMessenger an internal messenger to send messages inside office. Once Padma wanted to inform Geetha that she has seen the movie, Ghilli.
Padma : Hey nan killi paathen di
Geetha: (With lot of confusions and after a discussion with Ramya, who also couldn't understand what it could be) Oh. En?
Padma : Enakku romba pidichi irunthuchu.
Geetha: (Again discussions with Rums continues) Endi killi paatha?
Padma : (Without understanding the confusions) Songs kooda nalla irunthuchu.
Geetha and Rums: Oh iva ghilli padam pathi solli irukka pola di =))

Oru 'i' extra va pottuten ithu thappa
Once Padma sent some forward about India and in the message by mistake she has put Indiya. I went to her to ask about this. And the conversation goes......
Geetha: Hey mathathula ellam thappu panna ok...Athukkaga country peraye thappa type pannuviya di!!! :(
Padma: Endi enna nu type panni irunthen?
Geetha: India va Indiya nu type panni iruntha di...
Padma: Oh apdiya...enna di oru 'i' extra va pottuten....ithu thappa...
Geetha: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thayar Perumal ku wifea???


After finishing our lunch we usually either go for a walk or sit at padam's work place for a chat..
and my duty is to update a short bhakthi story(bakthi kondu vara trying grpku) part of our chat. I started with a story room about Sriranga Perumal.

A staunch beleif of mine is that priya has got better interest and also an enthusiastic follower for bhakthi stories, was put under a question that day :)

Self: Sriranga Perumal romba shakthi,perumaloda thayar ku thaan vishesham anga.

priya: oh appadi enna vishesham thayarku?

Self: Srirangam kovil la oru place la thayar oda hands impression irukum tharaila.

Priya : oh edhuku di andha impression?

Self: Once perumal varum podhu thayar apapdiyeah velila varama door la eti parka try pannalam ,appo kezha tharaila impression vandhucham.thayar inga padi thanda pathni.

Priya: oh..ana thayar edhuku perumala sighting , thaayar na perumaloda amma thanae !!!

Self: ila di loosu thayaar na perumaloda wife thaan.. avangala 'thayaar' nu koopiduvaanga.. nee verbal meaning eduthukaadha.. ufff.. Oh My God!!!

Priya: Oh appadiya..naan sutha thamizh la thayar na amma nu eduthukiten :))))))) (idhuku onum koraichal illai)

Immediately everyone started laughing,including me..

I made a point no more technical bhakthi term in front of others =))

Are you not from educated family?


Once we all went for a treat to Sangeetha hotel. Nama onna oru edathukku pona gupchip nu iruppoma.....ellarum orey looty. Yup!! gud fun. Very noisy. Nobody could sit in the room. We did not mind anyone. We were there to enjoy and we were fulfilling our aim. Shilpa and Renu are known for their loud laughters. They laugh, laugh and laugh. Suddenly someone having food from the hotel who couldn't bear our noise came to us and shouted... "Are you not from educated family? Why are you making noise like this?"
Guess what, everybody from the gang started shouting at him back. Eventhough we knew what we have done might have disturbed others, we couldn't resist him pointing it out.

At that time we were angry. But, now when we think about that incident, we burst into laughter.

Terrace - Our lunch area


Our company opened a new branch and a couple of our friends were moved to the new branch.In the new branch there was no dining area.But there was a mess in the Ground Floor.Our company had permissions for the employees to go and have their lunch at the mess.

We used to share everything.So if somebody orders food from the mess everybody will share.
We are a big gang and the only thing we know is to talk...The same happened in the mess as well. Since we made a lot of noise the mess owner asked us to keep quiet.

Nangaellam maanastheenga!!! oru avadhoor varathai kaeta pothum pongi ezunthuduvome...

From that we day we stopped going to the mess.We were thinking where to eat..We cannot eat in the office..we can go to chithi's place but it is not possible everyday..Finally we decided to eat in the terrace..It is a open terrace but there was some shades near the wall .We all used to sit next to each other near the wall and have lunch..Later we found that was the place used by our office security to have lunch...

:-(((( but whatever it was... we used to have a gala lunch time sharing 8-10 lunch boxes of variety lunch everyday :D

5 minutes variya!!


There was a suicide in our office. After sometime everyone became normal and came back to their routine. But namma thalaivi Shilpa was still scared. Once when everybody in the office left to home, namma sincere Shilpa was still working and had to take a print out in a room in the first floor. When she went there nobody was there. She checked in the next room. Arumugam was there. She decided to call him for company. She went to him and asked

Shilpa : "Arumugam antha room la yarum illa. konjam variya??"
Arumugam: "What??"
Shilpa : "Oru 5 minutes thaan. Konjam vaayen."
Arumugam : !!??!!! Enna kekka vara?
Shilpa : "Print out edukkanum. Anga yarum illa. bayama irukku. Athaan"
Arumugam : Athai theliva solla vendiyathu thaane #-o
Shilpa : :D:D:D:D
