En Kanitham

Ithu ennoda maths illa... I am talking about Numerology... People are going crazy about this. Even I am wearing a ring with number 77. I don't know the reason but still I am wearing this because this was gifted by my uncle (1 pavun ithu, athuthaan nijam). Recently, my friend has been promoted as mom to a baby girl.

When I vistied to her home, she was asking about the names start with "S". I gave many names and one of the name is "Shanmathi". She immediately rejected as "thi" (fire) is there in the name and also she explained few important points about numerology.

My thought: Name should be easy to spell (athukkaka valai palam nnu vai nnu senthil-kavundamani kanakka pesa koodathu) as well as you should feel good when you are spelling the name. Let me see what I will do for my baby. (Don't think that I am going to get married soon)

Ponniyin Selvan

Patti asked to me the complete Ponniyin Selvan as our copy at home is not at good shape. Hence I thought of buying the hard bound and went to land mark shop in Bangalore. They told they running out of stock (only the first part) and I pre ordered the book and I gave my number. I got a call after a month but before I reached some other Tamil kudithangi grabbed the book on my name. Now I have to wait again.

Makkal muthal pagam mattum vangittu poranga... Just for show or they really reading it???

Muthan Muthalai...

Thulli Thirintha kalam, autograph, alagi nnu ethavathu eluthalamnu partha onnume nadakkala valkkaila...

I worked hard for the past 10 days ( before that, hardly worked) and the Kavingar kathu vayan within me opened his eyes. Kanna pinnanu kotti thalittan... samples are below:

Udambu sari illa pappu
ethikkittu varatta konjam mappu...

Polamnu nenachene sivakasikku
Vara sollitane officekku...

Deepavali

Is it Deepavali or Deebavali or Diwali? Anyway, It was a good time with relatives and crackers. We don't have any time restriction in my place to fire the crackers. My cousins came to my house and they promptly started the fireworks at 00:00 AM. The whole village woke up because of us.

Usually, all the cracker shops and sweet stalls witness the mad rush. But this year for a change theTASMAC did a tremendous business on Deebavalil day. I heard that the sales are increased five fold on that day. Even it was quoated in Dinamalar.

One more thing I have noticed was the amount of crackers we bought was less compared to our previuos years. Infact we bought the crackers for the same amount as we bought 3 years back. But still there were few crackers left unfinished. I think that is due to the TV and we went to almost all our neighbours house to chat as we are gathering after 2 years.
