[pingoo] So sweet :) I remember when my niece was about 3 and we showed her a stuffed toy version of a koala bear. My brother-in-law told her it was a 'teddy bear' and she promptly corrected him and said 'dada .. its a koala!'. My brother-in-law fell off the couch in shock I think :)

Yes, if all the misses in the world gang up together, they can get away with anything! :) PJ Pingoo seems to be less destructive when he's had some sleep, for sure! :)

[The ramblings of a shoe fiend] Ahh! I did not know that! Thank you for clarifying for the sake of my inane curiosity. And nice to have you stop by :)

I know !! they best xplain kahanis :)...once my niece freaked out my cousins when she was two and a half yr old...cousins were playing with my niece...one of my cousin took out a cell phone and was showing her some screen saver..the lcd display had a chotu sa cheetah in a running action (like a gif..u might have seen it)

cousin - "cheetah odudu ma" (cheetah is running ma)
niece - *looks at the screen and looks at my cousin pointing her finger to the said cheetah* "adu baby jaguar..baby jaguar odudu"
cousin - :O *hand on mouth....like..aaauuuaa...she ran off to tell everyone*

I thought one could get away with a lot more mis-interpretation and mis-understanding as a miss :)

If miss can get away with so much of
mis-interpretation and mis-understanding..how about misses then ?? (plural for miss...if you haven't already got it :p)..yes yes pj pingoo is back after a good night's sleep :).

2005-09-15T11:19:00.000-04:00

[anshul] Ah thankoo for explaining! Ironically I turned out to be the 'houle se' guy PSPO-ing about PSPO :) Much thanks for the gyaan!

[aNTi] I need to see this movie and get this bhoot out of my system pronto, at this rate :)

[Priyavadan] Yeah yeah. And I didn't mean younger than other actresses. As I said, I thought she looked younger in Saathiya than she did in her other movies of the same time. But am pretty sure you are in the majority there with your preferences :)

[pingoo] Seriously! The accented desi talk used to irritate me, but when a kid says it, it sounds sooo adorable :) The other day she was telling me the tale of Lord Rrrrama, and I was doing my best not to howl with laughter :)

PJ Pingoo is dangerous, any time of the day! And what is this missus-wissus business? I thought one could get away with a lot more mis-interpretation and mis-understanding as a miss :)

[Primalsoup] Personally, I have no complaints about guys like Madhavan being an endangered species. I realize you are talking about the character he plays, but I am generally speaking about the dude himself. He irritates the crap out of me, so no matter how much I might like AP, there will be no swooning-over-darling-Maddy business. But escapist mush - always ready for it :)

As always, glad you commented. There is an inherent flaw in the if you comment on popular blog you will automatically be in minority logic, but I won't go there :)

[Pallavi] :) Now you try one!

[R¥] Look who decided to stop by! :)

2005-09-15T02:48:00.000-04:00

Oh that was Kumari’s keen piece of insight? I missed that. Then I suppose, it must be true. Clever Clever girl she is. She will do my neighbourhood proud someday!

Well too bad my thulping the movies haven’t had the desired effect. That’s what happens when you are in the minority, which is why it’s always smarter not to comment on the most popular blog around, because you will always be in the minority! :)

But lest you get me wrong and before the Mani Ratnam fan club takes me to task, I must confess that I have nothing against the said movie(s). For one, I am parochial enough to be most proud of our local boy Mani and his mostly acknowledged genius. Also, I think for a nano-second, I even swooned in all my girlie way at Madhavan’s-will-love-till-the-end-of-time thingie. But over time one realizes that such men are the most endangered species, and when one spots them they are anyway looking for Ms goody-two-shoes, girl-next-door types – which sadly you are not. (Not you, as in I am not… you know self-referential thinking aloud.)

So, now that I have got into this long winded messy loop of explanations let me stop!

And do enjoy the movie! I even have a friend from college, who debuts in the movie with a small bit part (which of course, you will miss, if you sneeze or blink)

And as an aside, your amazing patience in replying to all comments is quite something. Someday, you must give me lessons in such fine etiquette! I am tired of responding to the hate club that never goes away…

Here my 3.5 yr niece is keeping me on my toes with all her natkhatpun ..these cute kids with their accented desi language are so cool :).

Honest 'mis'htook :)

Ok Mis(Ms)Megha samaj ke yeh one mishtook maaf kar diya :p. Mises(Mrs)Megha ban gayi tho sab mishtooks maaf !!

2005-09-14T21:10:00.000-04:00

Arre, you shld see the same song in Tam man! You'll see where Shaad Ali was inspired, or mebbe he was the reason behind both songs. We shall never know...

2005-09-14T20:06:00.000-04:00

Oh the alaipayuthey version is even better.
And PSPO meant "Peak Speed Performance Output" or Pyara Sa Pankha Orient Ka, in this ad, where a guy says, houle se, PSPO kya hai, and saara zamana shouts, yeh PSPO nahin jaanta !!

[pingoo] Aan nenu oppukonante oppukonu mari - LOL!...

2005-09-14T18:44:00.000-04:00

[pingoo] Aan nenu oppukonante oppukonu mari - LOL! :) I have to teach my 5-year niece to say this :)

Okay baba, sorry. I thought AP was 2001 and Saathiya was 2002. Honest mishtook :)

[anshul] Ah goodie! Thankoo for being such a willing bakra! Shall read pronto :) And since today is my day of 'bulb not chamking' please to help out. PSPO?

I've seen the title song of Saathiya on some Zee TV Jhalkiya type program. Is beautiful indeed! Rani looks remarkably younger in it than in other movies of the same time, I felt. Did anyone else think so?

Is Bakre ki post Chapp gayi hai. Thanks.And you do...

2005-09-14T15:48:00.000-04:00

Is Bakre ki post Chapp gayi hai. Thanks.
And you don't know PSPO ? I mean saathiya nahin dekhi ! Waise, title song has been picturized differently, and beautifully in both versions, both are worth seeing.

2005-09-14T15:42:00.000-04:00

hmm..interesting.

Not really..that was just a coincidence and they didn't watch the whole movie anyways...I watched the movie only once :).

PS - Alaipayuthey(2001) = Alaipayuthey(2000).. Please don't delay my graduation by one year :| Aan Nenu oppukonante oppukonu mari !!

2005-09-14T14:25:00.000-04:00

[Priyavadan] As scary as the idea might sound, yes. On some rare occasions, I DO think. Fortunately I don't make a habit of it. So don't hit the panic button yet :)

you think? :P

2005-09-14T14:21:00.000-04:00

2005-09-14T12:57:00.000-04:00

[Primalsoup] Kumari sees one, and some others concur, but now you say you don't, so I am not sure anymore. Will find out when I watch it :) And true that mushy glorified love sagas don't need an extra viewer, but hey you are talking to a syrupy Bollywood addict here, so who am I to complain about corn and cheese! I will most obediently watch! And yesh, I am a follower of 'when you have nothing profound things to say, say 'hmmm!' instead and look wiser than you are' :) You are not supposed to mention about it in public and kholofy my pol ;)

[Archster] Oooh clever. I like how you did the comment recycling thing :) And thank you! Nice to see you drop by. Do visit again!

[pingoo] I think that's the beauty of most of these super short stories. They have room for multiple interpretations, so the audience comes away with multiple stories, in a way. Something I feel to be true about Gulzar's poetry also. No no, I am not comparing MY story with Gulzar, I meant it in a more generic sense about multi-layered interpretations of the same writing :)

Hmm, you seem to have some major AP love going on at home and around you! :)

[aNTi] *we saw but pretended not to notice so the stud-dude aNTi image is very much intact in the eyes of the readers. in the eyes of MY readers that is. your readers lost it a loooong time ago when you posed for tulip photo and talked about the soft core of violent volcanoes* *howls and rolls with laughter all over again!* :D Sorry sorry, I couldn't help that :)

Btw, DVD-supplying friend has promised to provide Tam version only. So hopefully .. :)

[Anurag] Goodie! The other animals of the jungle eagerly await it :)

[missnupur] Cool! Glad you decided to give it a shot :)

[kaashyapeya] Akka?! *choke* *sputter* All Indians are my brothers and sisters type funda?

I noticed post just yesterday. Neat coincidence! And why tag? Several reasons actually -

a) It is the only way to get you to comment on blog
b) It is the only way to make sense of what you write (your own blog is too high-funda so it doesn't count)

Enough for now, I think? :)

2005-09-14T01:48:00.000-04:00

I am honoured to be thought of as a bakra. I have been masquerading as a dog for ages, but you obviously saw through that. Will post my 55 word story soon.

Ciao.

2005-09-13T21:33:00.000-04:00

[Megha]: I am not sure how much Saathiya compares to the original Tam version. The fun in the movie is in the lines and I think the Hindi version did not have that crispness that Mani Ratnam is known for. Saathiya was just Shaad Ali's interpretation of his guru MR's masterpeice.

*coughs and innocently flexes his arm. Looks around to see if someone noticed him typing odes to what some might be term a chick flick*
