(Please
dont forget to read my SOS at the end)
Hello friends!
The Subject must have attracted
you!!
Thanks for your flooded
mails saying that Polish times is improving with every week and U are very
pleased with it -( Lie! lie!, Jute!, Poi!,@#@%@# Dont Believe him)
Yip Yip Hurray! Great man! Bcos
Our (ofcourse by birth, he is indian) Manoj Shyamalan of “Sixth Sense”
is nominated for best director. Though “The American Beauty” leads the
dark horses, it makes sense to say that 6th sense will have its share..
Forgive me for misplacing my excitement in Polish times..
To be honest, I’ve got 2 good
friends here, who will simply do what I wanna do, though 1 of them speaks
only in Polish (No! No! None of them are girls - Konjam porungappa!).
I was mentioning about the Computer & TV here.(No pun intended).
One fine friday, a new
TV in my flat, and everything was cleaned & new towels were kept. Surprise!!
Still instinctly, i checked my wallet in my bag (Really I can’t help it!).
I later found out that it was in contract with the house owner that he
do it. Coming back to TV, I have got two channels, called TVP 1 and 2.
Program wise, they run very close to Our Own DD.( I hope that TVP guys
wont sue me for comparing with DD).
They show serials like NYPD
Blue, X-files, (&..& Ok. Ok. Baywatch too, unga thollai thaanga
mudiyalai!!) and movies like Rambo III, Philadelphia ( actually, its today
for weekend special starring oscar winner Tom Hanks and Denzel washington..).
You may quickly ask “How dare you compare this with DD”. Good Question!!
But neither TVP like to be outdone by DD.
All these Movies & serials r
in polish with one special effect, they arn’t like ‘Junoon’. Infact, a
man of 40, I believe, will just translate in highly incredible montonous
voice all the words which are spelled by all the characters, Man or Women
or baby...No emotion, No punch.. For all the programmes you will
listen the english behind the polish voice. (Sariyaana kaduppa irukkum..)
Initially i tried to catch the english word just before this guy starts
in polish. But easily he beat me by his sheer(?!) experience. I gave up
without much fight.
Nowadays I watch TV minus
volume, just trying to read the lips and Believe me I am so good at that
nowadays that even the actor finishes, i start the next sentence. Today,
‘Philadelphia’ will be a tough act as it is highly conversational.
You know they have same programmes
like Mastercard Family fortunes (Super kudumbam in Tamil), & Movers
and Shakers (Nayandi Darbar in Tamil) , even at same timeslot as the indian
versions..
This week we are coming up
with two special days, like Mother-in-law day on March 5th ( For few of
you, its time to placate you Future mother-In-laws). And there is, Mother
of All days,(not the Mother’s Day), Second to Valentine’s day,.....”Woman’s
day” ( “Girls Day” would have been more appealing -Adiyen suggestion!)
So For all the girls and ladies
out there, My heartfilled (not YET, its still free!!) Wishes and have a
Peaceful & Happy Day!!
(I dont see a Mother-in-laws here,
if so, my wishes to them too)
SOS: Nambargale, I am running out
of Receipes here. Partly, becos few things are not available like Toor
dhal, most of the spices etc., most of indian recipes are irrelevant for
cooking.Another reason is obvious, I am not successful with most of them..
So please consider this as Telegram & pour your receipes.. Hope U wont
let me Down..
Thanks for lending your ears for
my SOS..
Take care pals, Bye for now
Ever Your friend
Chandru
