Chennai traffic manners

Chennai traffic manners or culture

1. How do you find a maami inside a car - very easy, the door gets closed mostly with some part of pattu saree struck under the door

2. When a two wheeler driver turns his head on right or left - he is not looking at girls standing at the bus stop or hoardings - damn it he is going to turn on that side without putting indicator !!!

3. A two wheeler driver - will always take a blind turn without clear visibility of road

4. A two wheeler driver - They will always stop one step or front wheel ahead of a already waiting two wheeler !!!

5. A cab driver - would always honk first when signal turns green without touching clutch even if he is standing first on the signal !!!

6. A Cab driver - would always drive in between the lanes - one wheel on one side of a white line marked for a division and another wheel on another side.

7. Chennai corporation bus would always take off from a bus stop and move towards extreme right before coming back all the way to middle lane

Some Tamilian behaviours

Some Tamilian behaviours

Some practical observations of Tamilian behaviours !

1. Konjam Urgent - This normal usage of sentence is directly related to "shitting" in modern days; Made famous by crass comedians, found its way everywhere. So beware of the usage.

2. tamil nattu maama's most used statement - time-kku Kappi kudikellenna thalai vali vandhidum - ayyo maama koluthara veyyilukku eppadiyum thalai vali kattayama varum !!!

3. Discotheque, college dance performance or wedding reception doesnt matter - tamilian would use only three different kuthu song movements irrespective of whether it is a english, hindi or tamil song !!!

4. Tamil home maker would buy 10 pattu saree for 4k each and keep it inside Godrej bureau, but will never volunteer to buy a inverter for home.

5. Morning coffee is a must for most tee-totllers - yes, i really understand - otherwise, how do you expect Pongal (concrete) or curd rice (digestion time - 10 hours) to come out peacefully after processing !!

6. Tamil boys would ask for a north indian girl to dance with them expecting they are anyday more friendly than tamil girls at discos.

Sensex Outlook for September 2008

Sensex, Nifty were clearly undecided about the movement in August.

September would be a real positive month for the Nifty and Sensex. Sensex would rally upto 16500 levels and investors are advised to go long in stocks. ICICI Bank, Reliance, ACC, HDIL, HCC, Jet Airways, Bartronics, Chennai Petro, MRPL & TCS are looking good buy at current levels.

Update Sep 11 - Traders are advised to get out of market. Dont believe in upward rally until Midcap participates. Nifty can be bought around 4250 levels

Lyrics of Thaiyatha Thaiyatha from Thiruttu Payale

Pallavi

Thaiyatha thaiyatha thaiya thaiyathaa
paiyya thaa paiyya thaa panju mutham thaa
uyir vaazhgira varaikkum unakke madi koduppen
ini ore janmam irundhal unakke meendum pirappen

Charanam 1

Nilangal udaindhu ponalum nizhalgal udaivadhillai
nesam paasam nijamaanadhu
mazhayil kiligal nanaindhaalum saayam povadhillai
anbe nam kaadhal adhu pondradhu
pennukku peraasai verondrum illai
sonnadhai seidhaale nigar yedhum illai
nee urudhiyaanavan yen urimaiyaanavan
pasi rusiyai pagal iravai pagirndhu kollum thalaivan

Thaiyathaaa thaiyatha ...

Chorus: Kunkumam Appi Kulir Sandam Mattittu
Mangala Veedhi Valam Seidhu Mana Nir
Angu Avanodum Udan Senru Angu Anai Mel
Manjanam Aatta Kana-Kanden Thozhi - Naan

English Meaning for the chorus:

I dreamt that a lot of kumgamum and sandalwood were applied
on our bodies, and Kannan and I were placed on top of the
majestic elephant and taken in procession along the streets
which had been decorated in celebration of our wedding
then we were given the holy bath with the sacred waters...

Charanam 2

Piravi vandhu poonalum uravu murivathillai
uyirai uyiraal murukketravaa
unnai pondra anbaalan yaarku vaaikum meendum
udalai udalaal kulippaatavaa

maruganam naan unnai serum varam vendum
unnai irukki anaikkiraen uyir nuraikka rasikkiren
anu anuvaai unai pilandhu en aayul adaippen

Thaiyathaaa thaiyatha ....

Lyrics of Kannan Varum Velai from Deeppavali

Pallavi

Kannan varum velai anthi maalai
Naan kaathirunthen

Adhai yerthu nindren

Charanam 1

Vaan kozhi kollum-aasai aadi thorpathu

Ther kaalgal kollum-aasai Veedhi servathu

Koorava ingu yenathu aasayai
Thozhaney vanthu ularu meethiyai
Kodi kodi aasai theerum maalai

Kannan varum velai anthi maalai

Adhai yerthu nindren

Charanam 2

Poovasam thendral-odu sera venume
Aan vaasam thodiradha degam moolame
Thai paasam pathu maatham baaram thangumey
Vaazhnalin micha baaram kaathal yenthume

Nee dhinam kanda kanavu theerave
Theenduven unnai illamai oorave
Nee illamal nillalum yenakku tholaiveay

Kannan varum vellai....
