Bo-Ram-Illu

March 29, 2008

Pondi might be a little boring. -CeG <Butcher>

So, life is meandering along. It’s like a river midstream. All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t go back on itself.

To add variety, I decided to watch a Telegu film. For context, let it be known that I’m an adroit linguist, fluent in nearly EIGHT languages including Chinese, French, Samskrit, Telegu, Tamil, Hindi and English. Infact, I got a 90 / 100 in my hindi board exam in tenth class (I got a 60 / 100 in the English exam that year but then that’s all ancient history).

Now, there are a lot of Telegu movies at home (courtesy of YP and Komar). I had lots of options and no idea where to start. I thought of watching Poruddu but then YP said it’s blah. The next thing that caught my eye was Yama-Donga which sounded Flashy. Plus, I almost understood what the title meant. Donga being thief (this I learned on the highway to Vizag when Aziz was stealing sugarcane from a field and we all were shouting Donga Donga) and Yama being a reference to a God. YP then said, “It’s better to watch BoRamIllu”.

For those of you who are wondering why a Delhi guy with a rather south-indian name would be watching a Telegu movie, let me remind you of the utter shortage of good cinema. The last decent movie I saw was Juno. Juno was good. After that I’ve seen a whole lot of blah, including one movie called Hitman, in which the lead actress was rather ugly and rather topless for a rather large portion of the film.

Now, the most fluent part of my Telegu is some of the insults that have known to be uttered during intense competitive DoTa / CS matches. Infact, there was once a very excellent debate on which is the best language for insulting people in whose outcome I forget. Anyway, I digress. On asking YP whether the movie does contain words that I’m familiar with, he replied, “The initial section does. But the director has <bleeped> it out”.

So, BoRamIllu, is about this guy Siddu (who is much unlike our batch’s Siddu). This guy is like rich and has everything except that he has to do whatever his Nanagaru says. He gets engaged to some lady (that scene is hilarious. Nanagaru cheppa for everything Siddu asks :D ). He is despo, looking for love types. There is a song on this “We have got a Romeo, All we need now is a Juliet“. Then he finds this nice girl at a temple who does kommulu (or bommulu) which basically means hitting head twice. Then there is lot of comedy and fun for a while. He has to convince Nanagaru to let him marry that girl so he says let her stay at our house for 7 days. After 7 days there is one BIG, HUGE, LONG, BORING senti scene. In the end it’s all happily ever after with Nanagaru agreeing that he was stifling the poor Siddu and finally he went to the girl’s house to stay 7 days. The girl’s father hates this guy for some strange reason though.

The best bits of the movie:

  • I liked the girl. Hasina. Nice. Well acted. Now who is she? What is her name etc?
  • Satti … lol … excellent … haha at that
  • “Senior Sir” … imba lol at that
  • Kiss-mat sir

The following are the bits of the movie I did not understand:

  • Is the guy with the moustache (the bossy character) Siddu’s father / grandfather / uncle or what? This guy is referred to as Nanagaru
  • Who’s the guy from America they keep calling?
  • Who’s the other guy (with the lady who is his wife)? Why are they there in the movie at all?
  • Why wasn’t there a small clip of Siddu’s mother going and taking part in Indian Idol?

I’d recommend this movie to anyone. It’s nice.

To sum up this whole whatchmacallit

Ippudo, Eppudo, Appudo, arre sutta le chali.

3 Cups of coffee … pizza … 161 pages of obscure standard-ish gobbledgbook … 2000 lines of code …

 

CLICK HERE

 

Did you CLICK THERE?

 

Heya !!
how are you??
Do you know there was a profile in news last night

link :- click here

The about me of This Profile Is Superb.

Do you feel pissed at every Orkut scrap that you get that says some junk like that? Don’t silently mutter an unmouthable curse at the guy who scrapped you. It’s just human nature to what to click-click-everywhere. I mean, we see a hyperlink and we just can’t resist now can we.

That said, I condone, condemn and consider utterly disgraceful, every moment that some chap / chappie went and clicked there. Damn you all.

 

Now that the psychological analysis of the day is over, its time to move on to other things. Shiben, is posting some imba cool stuff. If you haven’t read it yet then you are an eyeful-of-pink-maruti-800’s. (That would be one of the better hyperlinks to click).

 

Someone compiled a list of the best posts on their blog. I think it was anks but I forget.  Anyway, I think that’s a fairly neat idea. So, I’m like about to open up wordpress and look through the list of my posts and put up a generic post saying that this is the best. I then realized … wait for it … wait for it … wait for it … that I could ask you to do it for me. So, if you’ve read something here (yeah, i know i’m pushing it), and you liked it (yeah, really pushing it now) and are not lazy enough to not comment (i can’t push any further) then put it down in the comments.

 

While, I was typing out that paragraph I thought that let’s have a look at the stats of the blog. That would be something I haven’t done in a long time. So, when I was in college this used to receive ~70 hits a day. Now, I fire up Firefox and mosey over to WordPress. The hits per day is something close to 15 :( . The fun part is that people who are getting to this blog are searching for “tindly veggie”, “mdh garam masala”, “hot chics”, “bihari marriage” (Manish – This means You) and “Anirudh Mani”. It’s nice to see the awesome post on cooking getting traffic. Of course, I do pity the poor saps who moseyed over here looking for “hot chics” or “Anirudh Mani” (Who is looking for Mani??).

 

Attn: All passed out alumni. If you think you’re fit go to the swimming pool for a quick reality check (This means you Sriram). Yours truly was suddenly-given-bumps-for-no-reason-type-of surprised when he found out that he cant swim 10 meters without feeling like Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Jaaye. The only consistent thing was the very-nice-polite-lady. In case you’re getting any ideas this was/is Anand’s Girlfriend. Without any disrespect, I will just say that it was another one of those experiences that aren’t really fun.

 

Of late, its becoming habit to open Google talk, read everyone’s statii, ping Tipo in the hope of getting material for a post / spam and then quit. It’s one of those harmless activities that you do while your little code takes 3 minutes to compile on a DualCore 2GHz machine with 3Gigs of RAM and NO PAGING. I do hate it however, when statii read some absolutely philosophical opinion that makes no sense. Let’s face it. Google Talk is a communication medium, a method for time-pass, bc. Let’s all pledge to not use Google talk for putting philosophical status messages. And you are NOT allowed to make the excuse that you put that expecting to get Flamed for putting a philosophical status message. If you want to get Flamed … just say “Flame me … ” :D
