Shame Shame!

Edit: From yesterday night till today @ lunch, I got 1 email. Enthuvoda poi paatha, athu naane oru group kku nethiku amucha email, athuvum one day late aa vanthu verupethiyathu!

Sari sari, dont be too worried that this would follow the pattern of Elixir, Vagary etc...
Intha blog is about the suffering of a man in his 25's looking for a partner to settle down in life, who recently got out of school & employed in the US, who lives in an apartment away from the university, who has probably grown a bit older to be still living in the university atmosphere, who has 600 day time minutes and unlimited nights, weekend minutes to call all the people he knows. He has email accounts with all the popular and leading email providers - gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc etc...

Scenes:
Reach work @ 9am:
Logged onto mail.yahoo.com, and you get to see Ignominy 1: -- You have 0 unread messages. "Its been 10 hours since I checked my mail and no one has even thought and emailed me?, How bad can that be!" Worstttt!.
Konja neram velai pannittu within an hour, manushanukku irukkura nappaasai la, poi thiruppi mail check panninaa same scene repeat.
Oru for loop pottu, ithe scene repeat aagum till like 3pm.

When you login @ 3pm, you would naturally think that "You have 0 unread messages" screen is going to pop up one more time, you see something in bold. Your heart leaps up for a moment and on seeing clearly, you see that it says "Bulk(2)". Okay atleast etho forward varuthe nnu ninachundu antha folder a open panninaa first email would be from 123greetings.com "Get great gifts for your lover" -- deiiiiiiiiiii! ventha punnila yen da vela paachareenga
(Translation tried : "heyyyyyyyyyyyyy! in cooked wound, why do you inject a spear?).
2nd email would read "Get bigger, make your wife happy", "ada paavingalaa, how do you know, you know!)

Email scene ippdiye pogum through the entire day. Ofcourse you do manage to get a mail or two everyday. The tricks that might work are:

1. Become a member of 4-5 yahoogroups and set it so that you get individual emails. (Intha daily digest/no email option choose panravanga ellaarukum nijamaave avvlo emails varuthaa?!) Anyways I never choose daily digest/no email option :)

2. Ithu puthu technique, blog ezhuthittu make sure when people comment, you get an email. Oru blog start panni, oru post ezhuthi athuku comment vidalaiya makkal, dont worry, innoru blog start pannu - athu kathaiya irukkalam, vera language la ezhuthalaam, illa etha pathi venumnaalum comment adikkalam...
Ithuvum work out aagalainaa, freee aa vidu email/blog ellaame Krishna Raama nnu poga vendiyathu thaan :(

Sari appadiye cell phone scene ku thaavuvom:

deiiiii, naan use panrathukku enakkaga konjam concession kuduthu 20$ a month nnu oru plan kudunga da pleaseeeeeee!

Nalla velai naan Cingular la illa, rollover nnu solli maasam maasam minutes vera accumulate aagum. ( Ithula avanga tag line : "Its your minutes, keep them" -- dei enaku venaam da aala vidu)
At the end of the year, Available minutes: 6000 minutes appadi nnu vanthu nikkum. Athuku bathila oru muzham kayiru use pannikkalam.

Weekdays aavathu office, work nnu poidum, intha weekend thaan bore. Nijamaa solren, last weekend the first call that I got was on Sunday afternoon. Appadiye pathari adichu eduthu antha paiyan kitte (pinna ponnaa call panna poraa?) "deiii unaku naan endrendrum kadamai pattu irukken da" nnu urugi sonnen...Avan avanoda soga kathaiya sonnan avvlo than.

Some funny ones that I heard from PB:

3rd person: "unga veetu keezhe yaaru irukka?"
PB: "moonu cell phone irukku!" :)

(3 girls live in the apartment and they talk over the phone all the time)
That brings us to an inevitable question -
"If the girls are speaking over phone all the time and naturally they speak with guys most of the time, where are the guys who talk with the gals? Enaku therinje - D, PB, VJ, naan (naanaavathu konjam parava illa ;) ellaam vethuku ukkaanthu irukkom. (Kay, Vasu ellam enga kooda thaan irunthaanga, aana ippo ellam rekkai mulachu paranthutaanga... :)

Onnume puriyala ulagathulaaa... Ennathaan nadakumo theriyallee....

ps1: Nethiku night lenthu inniku afternoon varaikum no mails to me ( no office emails as well :)
ps2: Inniku morning lenthu Vijay mattum call panni irukkaan... ( Athuvum he was returning my call :)
