For people who are looking for the meaning for the Tanglish words in the song, here you go, I have tried translating the key words:
Kolaveri: It is the Urge to Kill/Torture/Hurt (depending on the situation where it is being used) someone.
Why this Kolaveri di?: Why are you hellbent on killing/torturing me (by your absence), Girl?
Soup Song: Love Failure Song
Soup Boys: Love Failure-aana Bangam Boys
She Showed Me Bowvu: When you go near a dog, it barks ‘Bow’ which means, go away don’t come near me. Similarly when you try for a girl and she shoos you away, it is called showing ‘Bowvu’. In a funny way though. Got ah? Super mama!

Stretch long and far, people say, in hopes of getting you to transcend your normal friending process.
And so, you dig deep, you stretch long and you befriend others unlike yourself and it’s refreshing—wonderful even. But then you find that having all the friends you can stand isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You learn that some of these people aren’t even friends; they’re coat tail riders, saboteurs, spectators and even suffocaters.
In the end, you realize it’s quality, not quantity, that we should consider when choosing who we befriend. I learned that real friends are priceless. They uplift, accept and correct when necessary. They laugh or scoff at our stupid jokes and listen as we rant about the sweet nothings of life. But above all they love us and they show it.
If you’re hanging onto a friend who’s really not, know this: it’s hard to soar to greater heights with dead weight strapped to your leg.
You might have noticed from my earlier blog post that I have started to reduce my usage of Facebook beginning with ‘February w/o Facebook.’ I have noticed that Facebook is increasingly merging with the real world. And this is the very reason I have decided to quit it, because it is neither completely REAL nor completely VIRTUAL.
There’s a saying, that states a person wears a variety masks in their life, that of a friend, a lover, a superior, an enemy, etc. But see the thing with masks is that you can only wear one at a time. Facebook does not allow you the opportunity to change personas, meaning that when you add, your school-friends, your co-workers, and your family members as friends you have to realize one thing, all of those groups of people view you in specific light. But when you get on your friend’s page talking about how you did some dash with some dash, then it’s a problem because one of your family members or co-workers can view that comment. All of a sudden they’ve lost respect for you or believe you are irresponsible.
Thinking about posting picture of you flaunting how good your life is now, so that your ex will see and wish they never let you go or maybe just because you need an ego boost and is looking forward to all the superficial comments you’ll receive, well think again. The top 5 new pictures you post will be listed in your recent activity log and will be the first thing people see when they go to your page. Why is this a bad thing? You are just being narcissist and just doing all this to boost your ego.
The truth of the matter is that every person, no matter who they are, changes their behavior depending on their environment. It’s not being two-face or phony, it’s simply adapting. There is no universal personality for you to display. Facebook is a social network that allows you to openly contradict the images that you display in different aspects of your life. People are three dimensional beings and should not be confined to a one dimensional social-networking nightmare.
Facebook is a great website that can help you connect with old and current friends. However, One important thing to remember about Facebook is that while you call everyone you connect with a “Facebook Friend,” the relationships all have varying degrees of closeness in real life. In fact, Facebook ‘Friend’, itself is a misnomer.
“Facebook Friends” means just that: you’re friends on Facebook. You can view each others’ profiles and tag each other in pictures. But people you call “friends” on Facebook are not all people with whom you are close. They might be your best friend from Kindergarten, someone you met in a party at friend’s friend’s place, or anything in between. Facebook communication is a good way to keep in touch with people whom you would otherwise not see again, but that doesn’t mean your relationship goes anywhere beyond casual acquaintances.
Facebook can damage relationships when people assume a higher level of friendship than actually exists. This goes two ways. First, you should not assume that reading your friends’ status updates, playing Farm Town with them, or writing a few notes on their walls means you are maintaining your friendship. That requires actually socializing, spending time together, chatting on the phone or in person – not just superficial contact on the Internet.
Conversely, some people get upset when they are defriended on Facebook, as if it was a real relationship/friendship that has broken up. In truth, there are many reasons for defriending someone on Facebook, from being actually upset with them to simply realizing that you don’t communicate much, or that you don’t want to share parts of your private life with someone whom you don’t know well.
Smilarly, people might not invite you (or even if they invite, it could be just a superficial invitation) to their parties or other events through Facebook for the same reason: you are just an acquaintance or person whom they want to keep in touch with, but not friends. This is a distinction that people easily accept in real life, but calling everyone on Facebook your “friend” seems to blur the lines.
Facebook lays on the edge between the Internet and real life. It allows people to connect with others they know in real life, making those relationships a step above “Internet friend,” someone you may have never met in real life. However, it neither makes casual acquaintances into something more nor maintains close relationships without any real-life effort. When people assume that it does, Facebook can damage their real-life relationships.
Recently it became apparent to me that Facebook is being detrimental for my own good. I had to do something about it and decided that the first step is to stop my activities on Facebook. I will not log on to the website for the entire month of February.
Once I realized I had to take action, I looked into why I was getting sucked in to Facebook.
Facebook is pretty good about keeping people drawn in to the website. By default, your friends can post anything to your profile (the wall), and can tag you in pictures, notes and updates. As a user, you can contribute your own status reports, pictures, videos and web links to your wall. Users also have the ability to comment on posts and give it a “thumbs up” by the “Like” feature. External applications such as games also have the ability to contribute to your Wall.
On the surface, this is a good thing. There are few Websites today that can boast the level of community and network interaction like Facebook. The primary sucker is the notifications! E-mails, text messages and shiny notification lights are generated and used almost every time an action is completed that could affect your Facebook profile. Did someone post a comment on one of your updates? How about when someone else posts a comment after you posted your comment on a friend’s update? What if you are tagged in a photo, a link, or someone’s longer note? All of these circumstances typically trigger a notification and send you an e-mail or text to your phone. While some actions do not trigger a notification by default, and you have control over what notifications are sent, it becomes obvious that you have to deal with Facebook even when you’re not logged on to the service – as long as you have an active profile. The large majority of people will log on to the site or use their mobile application to answer comments and see others’ posts.
What does all of this mean? It means that in order to reduce the dependency on Facebook, you have to break the cycle of contribution and notification as well as curbing the urge to visit the site. It’s one thing to log off, but as long as you are a member of Facebook, your friend network can contribute and generate notifications for your review without you actively contributing on the site.
My February Without Facebook
So, to start with, I have decided I will not log on to Facebook in February. I will stop actively posting on Facebook. This also helps me by potentially generating less notifications that I have to review later on. To my friends who are reading this… If there’s something important that I need to know, please contact me via e-mail, phone, etc!
I’ll report how my February without Facebook goes on the blog in March.
As much as we may wish it weren’t so, a plain fact of human relationships is this: People come and people go!
Someone that we have loved with all of our hearts one day can, quite literally, vanish from our lives the next. Not necessarily from death. Not even from rancor. Sometimes simple circumstance can take a best friend(s), a lover or a family member right out of your hands, never to be seen again. That’s sad. But that’s life.
There are times that I lie in my bed and just think of all the people who have wandered away from me. I remember all of the people that I have wandered away from. And then I wonder, will there ever be a time when they might reconnect? Not just for a ‘blast from the past,’ but a real reconnection, a rejoining, a resumption of the friendship routine as if the split had never happened. Probably not!
When I left Chennai, I left so many good people behind. I left a true family of friends with the absolute belief that nothing would change, that we would continue to talk and visit and share a rare closeness of heart. Of course, that didn’t happen and even though they are there, and are in touch, the friendship is not the same, it has evolved! Distance, time and space created an inevitable chasm between intention and reality.
This is all part of Life. People come and people go, satisfying a need for love and companionship in your life, or teaching you something you need to know. Luckily, a few people will stick around for a lifetime. But most are just here for a season. Maybe two. And that’s OK, because even though the physicality is gone, the love you created remains. Always.
Rajinikanth was bragging to Amitabh Bachan one day, “You know, I know everyone, Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.
Tired of his boasting, Amitabh Bachan called his bluff, “OK, Rajini how about Tom Cruise?”
“Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it” Rajini said.
So Rajini and Amitabh Bachan fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts — “Thalaiva!!! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch!”
…Although impressed, Amitabh Bachan is still skeptical. After they leave Tom Cruise’s house, he tells Rajini that he thinks Rajini knowing Cruise was just lucky.
And off they go. At the White House, Obama spots Rajini on the tour and motions him, saying, — “Rajini, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let’s have a cup of coffee first and catch up”.
Well, Amitabh Bachan is much shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds, he implores her to name anyone else.
“The Pope,” Amitabh Bachan replies …”Sure!” says Rajini, “My folks are from Italy and I’ve known the Pope
a long time”.
Rajini and Amitabh Bachan are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Rajini says, “This will never work. I can’t catch the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me
just go upstairs and I’ll come out on the balcony with the Pope.”
And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican… Sure enough, half an hour later Rajini emerges with the Pope on the balcony.
But by the time Rajini returns, he finds that Amitabh Bachan has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to Amitabh Bachan’s side, Rajini asks him, “What happened?”
Amitabh Bachan looks up and says, “I was doing fine until u and the pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said,
Do not assume that you know everything there is to know about me simply because you read my weblog on a regular basis. Any judgements you make will be based on the information I have provided you about myself, which is probably vague, incomplete or embellished. Whatever opinion you form on me as person, or my life as a whole, is definitely an illusion. Remember, you are the reader!
This song compares the various forms of water-bodies like rain, rivers, lakes seas and ocean with the various aspects of a woman – as a daughter, wife, mother etc. One of the most beautiful lyrics i’ve come across.

Note: This is a Personal Blah Blah Blah. I jus’ wanted to analyze what went wrong today and get it off my mind.
Today, I am feeling really miserable. I want to hit something very very hard, but don’t want to hurt my hand! I have been giving a series of exams to obtain a certification called APICS CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management). I gave my first exam last year in May. It was pretty easy and didn’t require much preparation, maybe because I had taken a class which taught me all the basics. Then I kept postponing the idea of giving my second exam for quite some time. Finally, decided to give in December 2009. Finished my semester, studied for a day or two and cleared the second exam too. After this, I went back to India for the winter holidays.
After returning from the vacation, I decided I will write the 3rd Exam. Took up a date in February, again studied for a day and wrote the exam. This time around, unlike the last two times, lady luck refused to stand by my side. Failed the exam by a mark. Felt bad. But I didn’t want to give up. Registered for the 4th exam, coz I can’t give the 3rd exam for a month. Postponed it twice, due to Spring Break and stuff. Then, finally gave it today morning. With more preparation than the last 3 exams. Guess, I studied for 3-4 days. Read all the chapters once, attempted the practice questions and all. But it was not enough. Failed the exam, miserably, by 6 marks. It proved me that I had under estimated what was in store. It feels so very miserable to fail. Feels like I am so incapable! Failing once can be accepted, twice is really bad. Maybe I am rushing it. But, it has been a year since I started and I didn’t want to delay it further. I still feel rushing it was not a mistake, but the lack of preparation was. I needed this failure. Learnt very valuable lessons, though costly lessons.
Laziness has done its damage. My concentration capacity has deteriorated very badly. I am getting distracted so easily by anything and everything. I am unable to stop myself from doing more than one thing. My mind flutters everywhere, it wants to do 100 things at the same time. I know, multi-tasking has its own benefits, but for the moment I think it is better if I train my mind to concentrate completely on one particular thing. I am going to avoid being on FB or even GTalk, logged in all the time. I have blocked FB and Orkut, so that I can use my time constructively and get rid of the addiction. Hope this time around I change my bad habits and prevent them from doing more damage. Hope something good happens soon. At this moment, it still feels so miserable.
As always let me begin with the Trailer of this Movie:
The movie revolves completely around one of Chennai’s busiest market streets – the Ranganathan Street in T.Nagar and hence the name Angaadi Theru which means ‘Market Street’ in pure Tamil. The Movie is directed by G Vasantha Balan and produced by Ayngaran International. It stars Newcomer Mahesh as Jothilingam aka Lingu, ‘Nijama thaan Solriya’ Anjali as Sermakani aka Kani, KKK Fame Pandi as Marimuthu aka Mari, Director A Venkatesh as Karungali and many other new faces. Brilliant acting by everyone, especially the actress Anjali. Her eyes speak everything.
‘Angadi Theru’ celebrates the triumph of human spirit over overwhelming odds, and the kindling of hope in the midst of all the pain and misery. It tells the story of the workers, the sales people in the shops of Ranganathan Street. It is like tracing the story of few random people whom you will come across in those busy streets, blowing it up and making a movie out of it. Though the story parodies a particular store in T.Nagar, I would say it is the same case with many other shops in India. Especially because there is not much of an opportunity in the interior parts of the country, people come to the cities and take up low paying jobs. The employees are exploited from early morning to midnight, and they too bear all this because of their helplessness. They need the money, the job, to survive. The exploitation is similar even in the IT companies, but people are in a better bargaining position than those shown in the movie.
The movie’s technical brilliance is something which you will not be able to appreciate at the first viewing. The film has such an engaging screenplay, that you will not be able to digress away from the story. You can’t notice any flaws with the cinematography, editing or the music as you would probably be very busy following the details depicted on the screen. The scenes are impact oriented and consequential – You will be simply occupied with the emotions that engulf you with every scene that is exhibited. The music too is Good and I liked the songs after listening to it for a few times and understanding the meaning. Jayamohan’s pithy lines lend a natural feel and deserve a special appreciation.
Verdict: A Must-Watch for those who appreciate Good Cinema.
