a recent experience of mine when I was travelling from Erode to Chennai on May 1, the Universal Labor Day. It was an unplanned trip and so got an unreserved ticket in a day train. If you had ever travelled in an unreserved coach on a holiday, you would better know how it is. You can neither sit nor stand in the same place for more than 45 min. </h4><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-align: justify;">The combat of everyone’s eyes looking around for any gap, the discomfort of each place where you stand or sit, the densely crowded coach and the typical summer of Tamil Nadu had enough to make me repent for anything I did the whole day. <br /> <br />The train passed Salem junction and the time was around 9.15. I saw a hawker selling ‘vadas’ for 2 Rs a piece. Though I was not interested and not sure of its hygiene, I just thought I would buy as he was old and seemed like financially challenged. <span style=""> </span></h4> <h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">‘Two vadas please’, and I gave him a 5 rupee coin. He served those in a paper and said that he would give the change later. About an hour later, he found me in my new place dozing in the upper berth and returned the one rupee. </h4> <h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">On a retrospect of the past one hour: </h4> <p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>I tasted that ‘vada’, it wasn’t good and so went near the toilet to find the trash bin and it wasn’t there. I crushed those in that paper and threw it out through the door. By this time, the hawker has moved to the next compartment. Just as I was looking out through the door and the train passing fast across the houses, trees and bushes along the side of track, a few thoughts <span style="" lang="EN-US">maneuvered</span> my mind leaving a few behind. <span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 35.45pt; text-indent: -21.25pt; text-align: justify;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""><span style="">i) </span></span><!--[endif]-->Will he return that rupee? Cha, how easily am cheated. It is definitely my ignorance that had led me here. I can even give 5 or 10 rupees to a disabled person, but I don’t want to be cheated by such a person. I am sure he won’t come back to this coach. But what inhibits me from approaching him and asking for that? <br /></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 35.45pt; text-indent: -21.25pt; text-align: justify;"> <br /></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 35.45pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 35.45pt; text-indent: -21.25pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""><span style="">ii) </span></span><!--[endif]-->My internal conscience gave me a gentle push to ‘step up’ ask him about the rupee.

These moments perish until you find one in the other side and keep swinging; these keep you excited and at the peak of your energy levels.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Leave aside those and lets talk about the non-special 'ones'.

Nagar</span><br /><br />...I was dragged in to the kitchen by my wife invoking the olfactory receptors. Was curious about what she has done in the..<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">'dei.. time 7 da. enthiri enthiri..'</span><br />oh ya.. another dubious dream and woke up with a sigh..<br />'<span style="font-style: italic;">intha kanuvu laam en varuthu.. itha laam anubavikalaama vendaamaa aandavaa..'</span><br /><br />'Mom, how many times hav i told u to wake me up enough at 6.45 itself..', looked at my cell phone clock showing 5 past 7. Just checked the morning fwds, went to the washroom thinking about the next few hours of my day and probing myself for what am up to.<br /><br /><<7.40>><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">'Ma, 2 idlis are enough. time aachu.. am leaving.tata'</span><br />'<span style="font-style: italic;">dei mahesh.. viboothi vachiyaa nethi la.. </span>', my mom shouted in a pleasant tone :) as i ran down the steps to the road; walk for 12 mins to catch the bus.<br /><br />As i walked, '<span style="font-style: italic;">hey, am coming to pondy gh..</span>' (guest house).. sms'ed to my TCS Bus 37 comrade to let her know that she cud stop the bus wen i am on the way.<br /><br />'<span style="font-style: italic;">eh we ll sit there.. sun is on this side..</span>', she said. She was delighted with the window seat, and so was I for the start of the day.<br />As i ogled at Aarthi, a voice peeped, <div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">'yaara sight adikkura.. antha Target project ponna..ava unakku senior..'</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">'sight laam adikala.. chumma paarthaen. she looks like 'aasai' film suvalakshmi ..'</span>, every time the bus turns and puts me in a imbalanced position to look through the aisle, i coundn't resist from looking at her.<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">'paarkurathaa.. suvalakshmi ah? over ah therla unakku..'</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">'ivangalum aprom velachery la that girl who boards the bus, Pinky..i just like both of them..:)..'</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">'Pinky ah.. athu nee vecha paeru..ava paeru Bobby.'<br />'seri etho onnu. pinky is a nice name too..'<br /></span><br /><8.25><br />The bus was hardly moving in the OMR construction stretch and I just looked out of the window to see a married couple stopping at a tender coconut shop. Oh ya, its summer and got reminded of dad advising to take one during hot times. Many times, when I don't know how to kill the time, my moto comes handy. I just browse through each contact and recollecting when i spoke with them last. (this is one way, how i keep in touch with most of my buddies)<br />Then called up Erode (one of my buddy from psg) to check what's the plan for this weekend. What we usually do is watch the night shows, gluttonous dinners and Nesam court terrace talks. (the 'was' type hangout of our gang). </div><div><br /></div><div>The bus entered our office premises and i got down the bus walking towards the cafeteria. The next 20-30 mins is the most colorful part of the day. Buses from all ends of Chennai arrive at the same time and one could imagine how the cafe would be. :) </div><div><br /></div><div><<10.40>></div><div>I was serving my notice period in TCS and searching for a job too. These PM's.. I tell you!. They expect the utmost productivity and commitment only during such times.<br />'<span style="font-style: italic;">rathna, nethu telecon la rajesh enna sonaaru... atha anupputeengala?.. oh ok... naama May month ST run start pannidalaam.

TCS and my project were quite significant in my learning curve. 'My code runs'<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span> </span>is a good feel. mebbe only for the first time. :)<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><<12:40>><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span>whatever happens, our gang in TCS-Pru ODC is strict in this. LUNCH. The timing is important to posit ourselves comfortably in the always crowded cafetaria. We look forward for a better experience beyond food. :)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">'dei antha pillar pakkathula we will sit..

Smoking zone is one place where the CEO and caller share the same space. May be that is the design :P<br /><br /><<6.10>><br />Well, thanks to the biological clock. It is tea time and to give a serious thought about career too. As if i coded it, the tea time at office is always a place to dig more into future in IT, discussing about management decisions and well the inevitable politics. <i><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">'dei intha mock cats laam intha varsham romba serious ah eluthanum da. at least this year, cracking at 95 with 3 years of exp should give us an admit' ..</span>says dinesh.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />'dei naan mudhal la will find a job da. depending on new job and work times, i have to decide da. veetla vera eppo padippa nu kaekkuraanga... intha satheeshnath en ipdi panraaru nu therla. hmm.. avangalukku avanga priorities mukkiyam..'<br /><br /><br /></span><<9.40>><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></i>Reached home, phone calls and then logged into my system. Few minutes of chat with aparna, which will contain atleast 30 smileys. Had a good dinner and I go to bed around 11. Probably, I said to myself that the day was good and prayed for a similar one or cursed myself for getting fixed like this.<br /><br />Whatever, lots of uncertainties are in store for the next day or even the next minute. But, do I care ?<br />However many of those don't bother me. After all, i live a life that is pre-designed and trailed by people whom i have never met.<br /><span><br /></span><br />Good day and Good luck!<br /><br /></div><div><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">this post is a true experience of mine and all the characters and coincidences are purely intentional.</span><br /><i><br /><br /></i></div></div></span> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>Rathna Kumar</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/2009/03/ordinary-day-in-extraordinary-life-form.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/2009/03/ordinary-day-in-extraordinary-life-form.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2009-03-26T02:54:00-04:00'>Thursday, March 26, 2009</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/2009/03/ordinary-day-in-extraordinary-life-form.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 13 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/360575781261883323/4499479560487627275' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1016684052'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=360575781261883323&postID=4499479560487627275&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/search/label/Bus%2037' rel='tag'>Bus 37</a>, <a href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/search/label/life%20la%20elaam%20jagajam' rel='tag'>life la elaam jagajam</a>, <a href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/search/label/pasanga' rel='tag'>pasanga</a>, <a href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/search/label/titbits' rel='tag'>titbits</a>, <a href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/search/label/work%20life' rel='tag'>work life</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Friday, February 13, 2009</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='360575781261883323' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='7241916245245205903' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='7241916245245205903'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://rathnak.blogspot.com/2009/02/pasanga-ponnunga-v-day-post.html'>pasanga-ponnunga-'V' day post</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-7241916245245205903' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div style="text-align: justify;">Hello readers,<br />After a series of posts in regard to nostalgia, photos, pasanga and etc, i guess its time to (and i can) write something about the people of fairer sex and my familiarization with them.<br /><br />Right from the teens to twenty five, I have (or was, not sure?) been quite evangelical in my doings, reactions, assertions and behavior altogether in stances of feminine presence, and of course not equally enthusiastic. :) But, all these for a cause? I don't know. May be to talk or impress or just to impart a feel or to get along or what not?<br /><br />The people whom we have met and got acquainted all the way through our life can be categorized as gurus, friends, mentors, close friends, forever comrades and the list varies person to person. But, where do I categorize the women whom have influenced me for a short extent, say for an hour, a day or a month or a year and then go away with no trail left. If you are not getting at whom all i am stressing, just see below..<br /><br /></div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>7G class la one year full ah en pakkathula ukaarntha ponnu...</li></ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>srini sir tuition ku red ladybird la vanthu en cycle pakkathula park pannuvaa.. (vice versa too) </li><li>10th padikuracha en kitta pesaamalae moraikkura antha ponnu.. (many times wondered wat i did nu.. but kaekka bayam thaan :) )<br /></li><li>college la 'unna paarthu thaan da siricha.. illa da nee irukkala... athaan sirichaa' types</li></ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>numerous 'love at first sight' category</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Naan cycle vaangurathukku inspiration um oru ponnu thaan, bike la irunthu kizha vizhunthathukku karanamum oru ponnu thaan.<br /><br />I suppose, now you all got whom i meant. Though, these group of girls have been for a shorter duration of my and not much of their influence into the future, those times were paramounted by them. Well, i feel it is not right to forget them completely or ignore too. Years later, when I get in touch them or when I just hear about them or see their profile in orkut and when I think more than twice to scrap her or not, those old moments into your mind and leave behind an unconscious smile on your face. (the trail?)<br /><br />But why we do or get into this? The fascination about girls and short lived moments with them have indeed kept ourselves swinging between excited states. Well, for all my thoughts and questions, even if i don't find a point of reference in my circle, I do get in the internet world. Lets see what a few people who study these (i seriously can't understand their motivation) got to say.<br /><br />Psychologist experts of the 90's suggest that Men and women can't be real friends and only sexual tension is to blamed which inevitably persists between any two red-blooded heterosexual beings. But this may hold valid in an era where women were at home and men at work. In the present urbanized life style, women are almost everywhere and imparting their prominence in areas where we never thought. They work with us, share social and sports interests. Starting from Winner vadivelu to Washington victory, women have their own opinion and interests.<br /><br />But, does that imply men-women relationship can be a perfectly balanced and complement each other. It gets tricky if you ask me. Almost every Men-women relationships we see in drama, movies and stories winds up into romance. Indian cinema has its own influence too on us, which is a separate story. The transition and changes in life style, work place, internet, westernization and welcoming of love marriages in our society have definitely put me in inertia at particular time of cross-sex friendships at a mature age. Is it love or just friendship or platonic love? These questions struck my mind in the last couple of years, when I observed an exorbitant change in myself and when I got into cross-sex buddyhood with a few. The public eye and society put in some barriers for decision making, but only a few overcome those.<br /><br />Though am not sure, how men-women friendships end up, but I can definitely say both benefit from this cross-sex buddyhood. I have learnt quite a few things, like what women value in a relationship, expectations and priorities from them. Its quite interesting and the surprise comes when I realize am completely wrong in understanding them. :)<br /><br />Well, i hope you all think when am I concluding. I honestly don't know how to conclude. Though this post was inspired by Valentine's day and its association with a normal self-centered citizen, I couldn't put myself into a closed box.
