Madurai Trip – Part 2

The second part of us would start from Saturday (June 20, 2009) morning. We all had our turns of morning chores before Bruce turned up “as promised” with a delay of
abt 1 hr. He took us to a hotel by walking up for another 1.5 kms with a plan to get rid of us to Azhagar Temple/Pazhamudir chozhai for some devotional trip.

So Bruce took us for a hotel and asked us to have a good Bfast – and stuff ourselves as much as possible. Little did we know abt the real reasons on this trip – Steve always got this right when deciphering Bruce’s intentions. We headed out after Bfast & Bruce almost did a sandiyar thanam by stopping a speeding bus and stuffed us inside the crowd for a 45 minutes travel. Once we reached there we had dharshans & we were again forcefully planned to go for another temple above the hill (Pazha mudir chozhai). Somehow we grew suspicious that there was a mole within us put up by Bruce (Satellite Mama). The trip would not be complete by 4.00 PM which would effectively mean there is no lunch for the tired souls (the finance guy showing his cost control skills).

We wanted to call Bruce and have a truce deal – nopes this was’nt possible as Bruce/ the Mole had already put us in a hill/mountain which had no signals to reach the other part of world. Nicely worked out plan- had to appreciate people who did this perfectly. With all the survival techniques of our ancestors we gorged on mangoes/berries/water/
Miranda/frooti etc and came back to Madurai – some hopeful souls were expecting lunch at the destined place to be ready – as usual abt 4-5 of us were having fun laughing at those disillusioned people.

The disappointment was at Steve expense the night; he never knew the trick of other non regular activities that happened the night with his Room-mates including me/Raghavan. He was cursing through the night becoming a victim of the events. The next day was even worse watching “Masilamani” and spending Rs 164 for the initial plan of having tea. Had fun watching things other than the movie like: couples/Girls laughing at the stupid jokes and Nakul. Finally our moment of realizing the ticket value arrived during the end of the film “Dora Dora” just in a moment of 25 seconds we collected all that and escaped being victims of the Subramaniapuram look alike gang members. Decided to spend more time outside the hotel and had some eating out and our first time in Madurai streets by Cycle-rickshaw, almost destroying Raghavan/Steve’s $$$$#####.
Reached Hotel and spent some time at the hotel and we headed back to chennai. I was lucky and thanks to Bruce for the seat-allocation. It was a well spent weekend with friends and having enjoyable memories.

Madurai Trip – Part 1

It’s been good news for us as one of our friends was getting married with his one & only “Late Adulthood” love interest (I didn’t get that wrong – it would be childhood love interest from his wife’s side). Balaji would be angry for the above description of his love – take it sportively “enaiku thaan namaluku mariyathai irundhiruku” – naaama eppavume comedy piece thaan!!!! lets accept the fact.

We had abt 10 people who were ready to go to Madurai for this occasion with some “EXCESS BAGGAGE” which we didn’t thought they were going to weigh us much. Had lots of catching up during the late hours in train (you know who was the topic of discussion) and were warned by the RPF to take our seats. Bruce came up with a peculiar reply of saying” Naanga ellam decent”. Somehow the RPF guy was convinced with his words and left us untouched. Might be this has to do with “sigappa irukaravan poi solla mattan”.

There were even some realizations in that late night discussions “satellite mama” had been enlightened with his first nick name. He never thgt we had something up like this and the background on his name was revealed & was convinced on the naming reasons.

We also went through some make over “Gilli”:

The main character of vijay will be played by “Satellite mama” – he would have a sweat-T-shirt and an extended pullover cap. He would do a jogging session in the morning hours in Madurai mela masi veedhi with stray dogs trying to hunt him. The background score would be by – “Humms guums, humms – tadaaa tan-tada-tadaaan”

He would forcefully rescue an already married girl from her husband; the role of Prakashraj would be played by Bruce. I was assigned (forcefully) the role of Otteri nari – thanks Satellite for the revenge. Steve would play the role of the heroine’s MBA brother with spects (he is good at this). This story was abruptly stopped by unknown reasons & we went for a small nap.

We reached Madurai during the early hours of Breakfast & all pretty hungry and as expected we had to walk abt 1.5 kms to reach the hotel. Steve did warn us that Bruce would never show us the sight of food on the way and avoid taking us through any of those views. This was indeed true, Jabbi twist !!!!

…………………………………………………………………..To be continued in Part II

Is this the end????

Now this heading does not seem apt being the IIIrd post, but things don’t seem well (other wise VERY WELL on some ENGAGERS personal front) within our team. Bruce was the first black sheep – he has finally got engaged and he has been frying peanuts for more than a week. For a person who has a distinctive track record and inducted into the Power Engagers & given the stupendous position of “Red Ranger” it was all stars for me.

This “accident” happened to Bruce’s unexpectedly (I would always terms this as accident and not incident, BRUCE note this) & when I was happily going to meet the other engager – Steve, to find solace of my pitiable position. We went up there and it felt so good after a Brotherly hug- & I never knew this was for the end of the another engager/culprit.

He shows a girl as his future prospect and to add up the fuel she was pretty….. & Steve might / almost live up to it.(Tamizhakkam required)

“Don’t believe in your brethren” are the words of wisdom I realized on that day.

How can both the engagers have some story on the day and me being left out, ** Not Possible** I had my own Tragedy/COMEDY.

Since Bruce fortune was changing rapidly – I had a remote sense of it might be happening as well for me and tried to speak to one of PUDUSU friends …
Gathered some guts and “motivated by Bruce” I tried my chance. Even before I can talk to her or see her face to start the conversation – she runs back to the restroom.I was left clueless standing there in front of the Pantry looking like திருவிழாவில் காணாமல் போன ஆடு மாதிரி . This was my part of the day comparing to Bruce & Steve. (it seemed she knew i was going to talk to her).

Bruce & Steve: you are not so Power Engagers nowadays and seem to have lost your powers – you both might be expelled from the Council (Pothu Kuzhu)

Anyway time to say “CONGRATS” for you people and pleaseeee don’t say abt your time spent on phone calls.

Energy Booster

We had a very inquisitive weekend and it opened even better yesterday, there was a close scare for the existence of our ring leader – RED RANGER as part of Power Rangers.

We could not believe in it considering his previous adventures, the interesting/impossible thing that happened is a girl has been totally mad about our Hero – BRUCE.
She has been continuously stalking him for more than 4 months and watched every action of him. She was given Bruce ID/mail for her to contact him by our very own “Kudai Pidichitu Pora Periyavaru” (Steve’s Successor) and now he has done something really great and made these people meet.

Thanks for your PROFESSIONAL SERVICES “Satelite Mama”

Okay now our Hero has been asked out by the GIRL (note the girl asked him out!!!!!) and finally they sat down in the Cafeteria for a kind of first date. The rest of 45 minutes she expressed her love for him and how she has been distracted “dangerously” by BRUCE. She even could say the dress he wore some 4 months back and complimented on his ethnic wear.

“Overall she was someone whom he can fall in love for the whole life on the emotional front” Bruce read this sentence to know what you are passing by now in your life.

We were all very excited for the result of this in our “addah” – bruce’s place and got more updates he never spoke throughout the whole conversation (or we can say that she never gave him a chance to close the conversation). I can understand she was completely over excited to be with him.

We almost scan every floor for suitable females for ogling/drooling etc and have the complete or near complete kind of database and this particular girl was not in that.
So this would come to a conclusion that she might not be in the interest lists of our group.

This reminds me of a dialogue in “Garam Masala”

Humko Jis ladki chahiye, usko hum nahi chahiye
Jisko Hum chahiye, woh kisko Chahiye ??

Bruce ungalukue Sukura desai adikithu…. Aana athu mugaraila adikala.

So still Bruce remains as an uncommitted gentleman… and very much part of the Power Rangers.

MORAL: Bruce’ala avalavu seekiram vazha mudiuyathu

Why this ???

There are several “why” we get in our life that can’t be explained or we still keep searching for the answer. Now this post is aiming towards explaining why we have created this blog.

Avanga Naalu Peru: there was 2 recent reduction and 1 inclusion for this gang (“Thambi” / “Raghavan” the culprits, you don’t belong to this group). So the Group has been enlisted with three core members now – Bruce, Steve & Twistu, we call ourselves “Power Engagers”.

Just like the “Power Rangers” we are against these evil forces,

• Guys who have GF
• Girls who have BF but give back a look at us (frequent occasion/assumptions)
• Girls who don’t have BF but neither accept as one
  
  We live/survive by these codes,
• Engaluku Tragedy ellam comedy thaan
• We follow the principles of our Mgmt Guru - Mr Count Money (Goundamani)
• Naalu peruku girlfriend elaina irukuravana parthu kindal/abuse panurathu thappu ellai
• If somebody has BF/GF they are declared as enemies of us – POWER ENGAGERS
  
  Okay now why “Power Engagers” and not any other name ????
  
  Engalai Evalavadhu Oruthi Paarthannaaa.. Saniyan Avalukku Udaney Kalyanam Nadandu Tholaidhuuuuuuu… (or they fall in love with another person who is NOT AT ALL FIT FOR THAT GIRL….rather we wud be) – again WHY not us ????
  
  Yen Yen Yen Naakulae eluthiunga thaayeee !!!!
  
  And Bruce is the SENIOR CONSULTANT here – reasons will be revealed in another post. This is supposed to be an introduction post so no “Kaal varifying” our Leader the “Red Ranger” sorry “Red Engager”.
