For the uninitiated, that was a sentence spoken in authentic "madras tamizh" :). First things first, my apologies for running such a dormant blog. As if it matters; you guys have better things to do anyway!! :). Well what do i say, Time ( a lot of it) and location ( read forsaken desert) have forced me to take the forgotten path once again after nearly 6 months.
And for those who are wondering why the hell this post is titled the way it is, heres why. During one of my extremely-bored-super-tired moments here, i ended up watching "this" tamil show on youtube. And boy, was i reminded of my good old days when "madras" tamizh was the in-thing :D.. And i couldnt resist posting some of my favorites here. If you already know, please bear with me. If you dont, ask around and you will know.
1. Mama, naastha thunniya? ( Dude, done with lunch/dinner/whatever?)
Usually outside the college canteen or someplace.
2. Somma landhu kudukaadha da domaru ( dont pain me you moron :D)
3. Naa onniyum pannala, nee mooditu kada. ( I didnt do it. You shut up)
4. Podango*** ( in reply to 2 :P)
5. Unna nambina, naaye nee andharbalti adichta ( I believed you and you messed up)
Standard dialog before assignment submissions!!
6. Inna da, sarakkadichtu mallandhutiya?
Heard you got sloshed yesterday?
And many, many more.
Its hard to believe that this hasnt caught up here in the US which, by the way, is being inhabited by tamils by the day. ( I fall in that category too. ;))
Bottom line, i miss chennai, oops, i mean MADRAS, and its lingo too much and cannot wait to get there in september. Till then,
inna maamu
kayandukkavaa :)
