02/22/2022 - Spiderman No Way Home - AMC - Tmobile Tuesdays!!! Yaaaaay

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 06:17:00 +0000

02/22/2022 - My 16th year in IT, all it started was on same day in 2006.

Will talk more about 02/22/2006 later.

As it was Tmobile Tuesday and this cool deal crossed the eyes where a $16-18 worth of movie ticket was given for $2, so made use of it, by taking 2 codes from myself and Nithi and 2 more from Muthuraj and Priya and booked it and we just went to theatre in AMC near warner center, all just happened in few mins.

Sometimes, the longer you plan the worst the plan becomes and that was hence proved today.

Nilavan's long time Wishlist and favorite, was fulfilled today, I finally took him to his Demi-God movie.

Nithil, no offense, but Nila is the No.1 fan boy for Spider Man.

Had Popcorn along with snacks from home, had a good time!!!

The Middle Finger

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Fri, 04 Feb 2022 07:16:00 +0000

Today, after returning from school, Nithil was saying that, Mark was showing his middle finger towards him, and when I asked him what is that, he said that means all the bad words put together and it is very very bad, fir a moment I hit shocked to realize what just happened and how casually he said that to me, that too in his 3rd grader and wondering what more is in store…also he told that he has reported to Mrs.Silverstein as well regarding this.

COVID - Positives - Jan 20th 2022

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 21:22:00 +0000

My First Post for 2022 and returning post since March 28th 2013, so nothing happened inbetween ?

Guess what, Of course a lot and in fact a hell lot happened between these 9 years, a lot of Ups and Downs.

Lets take it from a Positive stand point and then lets come to Negative ones.

All these days we all were Negative and something Positive happened yesterday, Both Nithil and Nitya were tested Positive for COVID, Nithil was asking was it for CORONA or OMICRON or what kind of variant was he infected (he always makes me laugh at hard times, I love you Nihtil, I love you a lot...).

Nithi (Love to call her this way) on the other hand, she was down with headache for the past 3 days with body ache and pretty much all signs pointed to some kind of not well being and ended in same way, but I never expected for her, as we all know, the Unexpected is the only certain thing which happens in most of our life.

I wanted this break for Nithil, so kind of ok with me to get a break from his routine (Covid - Masked ) school life.

Hoping for the Positive (actually Negative results) next week.

Hey Nila, nothing much to discuss about you and me now, will see in next post, bye bye.

Lunch @ Swami's House

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:23:00 +0000

Yesterday (03/27/2013) had a fun “appetite” time at Swami’s house…

The moment he called me (actually ‘us’) for Lunch and the way he enquired “whether I would have Non-Vegetarian on Wednesday’s” (asking me…be it any day…any time…I would love to have non-veg, really feel very very bad about others who have those limitations), all were truly warm and friendly with due respect.

Coming to the Lunch…I should say, It was a grand feast…Chicken Biriyani (Two Cookers fullllllll….hmmm…Yummy), Chicken Salna (u can call it kulambu, Khurma…whatever…once again heavenly) we (Pandi, Kiran, SakthiMohan, Muthuraj & Thiru) had all our Mind & Stomach full…

Love, like these small and beautiful gatherings…which are true from the heart…

Now, I have already started planning out for my Lunch feast to others, when my beautiful half Nithya is back in town with our Kutti… Hoping for a better tomorrow…

Manohar Chiththappa and Family!

Lost My Oor Naina (Chiththapa) today! - 18/03/2012

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:21:00 +0000

I dont have words to describe my loss today, In-fact a severe loss to our family. Was taken aback and literally felt like flying to India today.

This is in no way a replaceable loss...

All of our family members were travelling to my Akka's house warming ceremony, near Thuraiyur the INDICA in which my Father, Manohar Chiththappa, Sooda Chiththi, Ranjitha, Karthik and Ayyama travelled, got dashed into a tamarind tree and tragically my Oor Naina, expired on the spot.

I dont know, Now i feel like more responsible and would like to help my younger brother and sister, Karthik and Ranjitha in all part of my life.

Among all these, Now I want to be strong and deeply saddened by Nithya's status. She is such a nice breeze in my life.

I know and i'm too confident that, she will be strong, If at all something else happens in this relationship, then my future about a girl in my life, will always be an question mark.

15th February, 2012!!!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 06:49:00 +0000

It's the day to be cherished and remembered by me, all thru my life....met the love of my life......Once again have decided to blog my day-to-day thoughts...hope it lives upto my expectation.

It's not that easy to get a girl, whom you want/like to be and she is even more than your wantsssssssss...

i feel like gifted......

More responsibilities and moving to the next stage of my life.......

Some times arranged marriages are more cruel than Luv marriages...

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:59:00 +0000

i always strongly believe that expectations lead to disappointments...

one thing which my dad and me still could not figure out is that, he feels whatever he does to me is for my good and bright future!(never mind about my opinion...) be it dress, watch, hair style and so on... but i never thought, it would continue till my bridal hunt...

friends and family have seen her and showed me the photo (i wasn't interested at all...), but my father (alone!) had interest in this alliance...with a lot of hesitation, i was made to meet her, she was jus then completed her engineering and the maximum distance she might have traveled seem to be the corner shop of their street...she was brought up in the comfort zone of their parents...and didn't have the maturity enough to call for marriage...

so the immediate next day morning, i said a big NO! against my fathers opinion. (later my father had to say some reasons to convince his father)

I had my own reservations like,

*) She should be well educated from a reputed inst. and more talented than me....
*) not necessarily to be working (but wat it takes to not work after studying...)
*) be slightly fairer than me, like someone in shades of Nanditha das, Bipasha, Konkana or Halle berry - (romba overa irukka!)
*) match my height (have always been attracted to heights!)
that's it not more than this...

I'm sure all the above can't be met and i dont even wish it to be...if happens happy, else accept the life...

I was very clear that, the next time I see a girl, I shld meet her personally and talk to her and get her feed back rather than the parents...

Matching my reservations, i met her @ the temple against all the odds from their relatives... ( as our match making process are very strict, they can roam freely, talk with the other sex, but when it suddenly comes to marriage, you have to meet them only at the others house, with a cup of coffee (now it's jooooooooooose!))

She was accompanied by his brother... we spoke( abt our work, schooling and so on...),it was a nice 20 mins interaction... I knew she too had an interest...

ok everything was getting processed...I had her mobile no and all other personal details, thru one of my friend, but had never contacted her in the process (exception - two mails to her office id)

they made us to wait for longer than two - three months (the irony is, from day 1, my dad wasn't interested in this alliance, he had his own reservations!)

jus for the sake of me, he was discussing with their parents( here too, my father and we had one more blow, it was always her mother, who spoke to us and not their father, not even once in the 10-11 phone calls)

it was only they who approached us, and ignited the process and not us... so we were still quizzed, y it took them so much time, to take a decision.

they questioned abt my comapny, she works in a MNC and expected me to do so... I was
clear, that i had no issues with my company and if needed i can do so in the futute..

his brother grilled abt my integrity, in watever ways it was possible, even some of school friends, whom I have not met for years asked about my marriage process (seems thru his friends friend, he enquired about me...), but I never asked anyone about her education, schooling, college or so...(after speaking to her, i was able to read her mind)

myself and my dad were very clear that, only if all four of their family were interested, we can have a meet, else, nothing wrong we would part as friends,... but his brother and father said, by all means they were wishing...

they asked us to come to their home for a formal visit, we went (though i dont believe in some rituals, i still strongly feel that, we should not take food at their home, till everything is finalized), were made to take lunch at their house, parents were speaking about the community halls, dates and so on... mean while i once again had a chat with her and asked abt her opinion...she said a BIG yes and asked abt me...'Y shld I come all this way to meet you and what still you expect, ofcourse it's an YES'

we returned to home, everybody was expecting for the good to happen....

after four or five days, i received a message(!) from his brother saying that., his father was not interested in this alliance and it cant proceed further...

i was left clueless... yes boys do cry, infact everybody cries, when disappointments come....

couple of close friends, who alone were aware of my alliance process cooled me and these are all usual and asked me to move on....

initally i was interested to know the reason, but later hated to speak to them....

it was only they started the talks and it was only they who ended it... infact, my parents have not even demanded any thing from them...

so this is wat we call as arranged marriage? hate it!

Note: sometimes feel that, the first girl to who I said a no has costed me or haunting me...hope it stops with here-itself...

hi, this is my first blog in 2010..............

blame it on procrastination or lack of interest in blogging or really something interesting did not take place(or came across) in my life for quite a while....

last december, i went to friend's sister marriage in sankarankolvil....Myself with my colleagues had some good time after a long time....(i always dreamt of going to some greener pastures, which actually hasn't happened to me either thru my native or dwelling city......)

we went to kuttralam falls and thenkasi, it was a visual treat to watch those farm lands and water bodies in and around there....

a day before the evening of the marriage, we went to watch the movie 'renigunta'which released on that friday...(i always had this habit to watch movies, to wherever new place i visit....)

we still had some time left for the night show, as the evening show itself didn't got completed....along with our friends, we were chit-chatting, i was able to notice a women in her mid 40’s with torn clothes, unkempt hair, a dark black color covered all over her face, I bet any one would get frightened for her looks…the moment i saw her, she was communicating with me thru her eyes, i felt like some kind of bond being made between us…

i went close to her(but maintained a safe distance) , she was trying to convey something to me…i still advanced further and made myself comfortable with her…it was very cold out there…she was wearing a torn sweater over her already torn saree…..i looked around to give something to eat to her..i spotted a hawker selling “sundal’s”, i bought a pocket gave it to her..(somehow i felt that, the money i gonna give her is of no use)

i started asking why she is sitting here… where is her house…has she got married, if so wat abt her husband and children? for all these questions, i got a single answer ‘poyittanga….enna vitutu poyittanga’(left me, they all have left me and gone), the same moment tears got rolling down over my cheeks….

she was saying thanks to me thru her kindful eyes and mind and finally said that ‘i will live a long life, with happy children and wife’

when parting away from her with a pounding heart, my conscience was still killing me a lot of potential questions….

i’m sure i have not made a fortune to her, but only a partly night meals.

we often get confused between beggars and the needy / the mentally challenged ones, the later ones are the real ones, who needs our real helps……………

we often forget our human bondage…we are created to help others and they are awaiting for our help…….

Rainy Chennai – Fond memories

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:57:00 +0000

Rainy days in Chennai for this monsoon were very late, compared to the last few years (needn’t to say due to global warming and all other rubbish things which we do to mother nature, are also the reason for the delay).

But how coolly we would discuss in a group like “Hey it is November and still we have not got a single drop of rain?” (really don’t know what to call those people)

Of the past 4-year stay by me in Chennai, this year we didn’t have a heavy downpour compared to the yester years, but this year will be very close to my heart…

I kept myself freaking out in the rain, with jus a ‘Shorts’ & a ‘Tee’ in bicycle. Wow! I have to say that, it was heavenly…I jus felt like a satisfied school-kid getting into the rain after the school hours (when your Pa and Ma says ‘DON’T!)

Every good has a bad isn’t it? This rainy season also made me to deviate (it would be better to say ‘re-visit’) towards not being a teetotaller.

2 States - The Story of Chetan Bhagat's marriage!

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:07:00 +0000

Prologue:

This Diwali was’t as great to me as it was in the prior years…. (Due to my misunderstanding with my dad and it’s a separate story, which I will blog later)

Somehow I was forced to spend the “festival of lights” only with Chetan Bhagat’s fourth book “2 States – The Story of my Marriage”

(Ordered this book from hindushopping.com – The actual cost itself is Rs. 95 only, but the so-called marketing minds, made the book’s price for Rs. 59 alone (plus shipment charges of Rs. 35) which summed up to Rs. 94. – Huff! I saved Re. 1.)

The Review:

Seems that Chetan has made it clear this time to deliver some thing more personal from his own life. Love stories are always good to hear and read (I bet those who don’t even love or fell in love… will love to read such stuffs)

Not a Typical love story… But some thing set around the brainy people of the Country (The IIM’s). A North Indian Boy, falling in love with a South Indian Girl (I’m sure the author need’t have to put additional research to make the plot interesting)

To be more specific, it is like our routine Indian love story, with many expected (very few unexpected) things.

Though not as a whole, I enjoyed the books in parts such as, the proposal made my Krish to whole of Ananya’s family, the music concert, the whole Punjabi stints and the father-son relationship.

But what irked me a lot was

*) the use of racist comments (which he uses very often and claims that he works for National Integration)

*) the use of very degraded tamil words in a couple of places(We can easily say F**k in english, but the same when we mean it in our local slang, it is jus as awkward as our very own koovam), it would have been better, if he has avoided it.

Expectations may lead to disappointments...

Catch you all later, with some good reviews....

Epilogue

Needless to say, this Diwali wasn't good to me by ALL means.

I saw them kissing passionately… I swear

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 06:40:00 +0000

I have seen them both talking to each other inside my office campus quite a lot of time, they would be discussing a lot (One thing! I never understood their language…)

Not alone me, many might have spotted them almost everywhere in the campus. I have to say this; they were the gifted couples (according to an outsider who sees them, but I’m not sure whether they too had the same feeling about themselves).

They used to roam, chat, and even fight some times, but the thing, which I watched yesterday, was something unusual.

Wow! They were making love against each other, that too in public and never minded about who were watching them, I was quite surprised…as I was the one, who alone was standing near them, I could watch them clearly (My Good, Bad and Ugly instincts, all persuaded me to watch their episode, without missing a single second)

One of the couple planted a decent kiss (!) on the others cheek and mouth initially (I was not able to differentiate between their genders, I swear, they were almost alike but not ‘LGBT’). Then the counterpart got the courage, advanced further made intimate and passionate smooching, got closer, further closer (please, stop biting your nails…) biting the others mouth, kissing and kissing and kissing, till they had to take a breath…. Oooooh! I was about to faint, pinching myself to make sure, being in the present….
I never expected that those two naughty SNOEGIP (read backwards) would do so…

Typhoid – Back after quite a long hiatus

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 05:40:00 +0000

What I have heard quite often is that, if you get typhoid once, you wont get it for sometime thereafter (came to know from newspaper that the immune system gets developed into our own system and it would keep fighting against the influenza viruses)….

But, it wasn’t true in my case, I got a simple typhoid in 2007 (‘simple’ in the sense, the dilution ratio was very low and the period of suffering was just 1 week) and now this time the dilution ratio was pretty high of range 1:160 for type ‘O’ and 1:320 for type ‘H’.

According to my senses, I never had such a fever, which persisted for one week (105 degrees F max to 101 degrees F min).

Few good things, which I have learned during this two and half week period, are:

*) Some medical terms
*) Dos and Don’ts during Typhoid (in case for any fever)
*) Behaviors of some patients, who stayed along with me
*) Some really good service minded nurses (I’m not sure whether they felt the same, but my heart felt pounded once leaving them)
*) My instincts once again asked me ‘Senthil, some how you should have made to the medical field da…)
*) Health is really wealth (heard and preached these umpteen times, but when it comes to oneself, we real

Some things, which I really felt bad, were…

*) at this young age itself, I was troubling someone for my sake…(my cousin)
*) felt like wasting a whole lot of time… (Idiot! when in office, you often feel, “Wont I get a nice break… and when you get it, you yell at it)

Science Vs Belief

Once when, some of our relatives, came to home during this period, they asked me to tonsure my head, once I get recovered (Stupid fellows, why should I save my head, I wont)

The next day, my cousin said, a doctor was explaining in TV that, due to excess of medication (Tablets, trips, injection…) we might start losing of hair and it is better to have your head tonsured, so it paves way for new growth of hair. Nothing doing, immediately shaved my head after discharged from bed….

This generation gets it right, when something is proved…

Very Happy, I did it again....

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 04:47:00 +0000

This Sunday morning, I did it again, I donated blood at 'Queen Mary's college' near Marina Beach, Chennai.

I got myself registered to reddrops.co.in, who is an subsidiary of "http://www.chennaisocialservice.org", which mostly comprised of corporate guys, a nice initiative, to spend their weekends in a useful way...

I would like to thank Murali, my colleague and one of my close friends, who was there till the end (his only concern was that, i would get fainted after donation and he never wanted to get into trouble because of me...jus kidding)

Hoping to do it, twice a year....this post is jus a log for my personal remembrance... well & good, if it turns to be motivational, if someone who browses this one...

Nadodigal – En Nanbanin Nanban Enakkum Nanbanae…. (My friend’s friend is also a Friend to me…)

noreply@blogger.com (Senthilkumar Chellaiyya) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:46:00 +0000

In the recent past, I have not watched twice a movie (that too in theatres…) something (read: ‘Manythings’) made me to watch this movie…

First and foremost the Expectation from Sasi (Remember Subramaniapuram - a bold attempt to produce, direct and act in an almost period film)

But when later stepped into the theatre, it was not alone Sasi, but the credits goes to the entire cast and crew who have done an excellent job in turning out an ordinary film into an Blockbuster movie (it’s for sure that it would break certain records)

Be it the Main character Sasi, his Sister Abhinaya (a lot has to said about her, when came to know that she was physically challenged in both hearing and speaking, I was dumbstruck, OMG! she was brilliant, awesome, a treat to watch, the screen was enriched with additional brightness whenever she comes)

Sasi’s love interest Ananya, His friends, Vijay (‘Chennai 28’ fame – Vasanth and Co owners son) and Bharani (‘Kallori’ fame) all were amazing…

Plot:

This story can definitely boast itself, that it is of new stream and a never touched area, What happens to lovers who jus get separted after their marriage (due to various reasons) and what about the status of those Lovers friends who (literally) gave their lives for their friends marriage…

So simple isn’t it… It was Planned, Executed and Presented well.

Please watch this Movie in Theatre alone….and let us all pray that Tamil Cinema gives some meaningful films along with entertainment…

Note: Watched this movie at Sri Ranga Theatres in Neyveli along with my friends, Mathan and Kannan and again at Jothi theatre in Chennai with Seetharaman and Murali.
