Chepauk in all Smiles ..
And again I’ve never thought I would write here about this man before he decides to quit… But all of a sudden , last night I was struck with this.. Why praise a man, write ballads after ballads, sonnets after sonnets when he is done and dead..!! Adore him when he is living…Indeed, at his best :)
Disz the time were we see Dadas signin off, Jumbos callin it a day n Solid Walls turning into dusts… Anyone can get 20 mins of fame.. Even Kasab did.. But being a Darling of a nation , dat too in India, for almost 20 long years….U gotta be a Sachin Tendulkar !!!
It’s an art!! The art of being Tendulkar!!
Well , it was in 1999, I was in ma 8th then,I remember there were quite a few transformations… Empty philtrum to the first moustache, Half-Trousers to Pants, Childhood Crush into a Puppy Love and more importantly Sachin Fan into a Sachin Worshipper…:) Spl Thanks to the Damien Fleming, Kasprowikz n Co ;-P
“ Sachin Out .. Switch Off TV” was the slogan then… There were no SMS, No Cricinfo, No E-mail n nothing.. We were in our own world …Exam pads as bats, 3 rupees plastic balls n Charcoal Stumps..:) We had to wait for someone who had gone home 4 lunch to come back with the score.. If Sachin was batting ,a group of 4, made sure we jump out of the fences , run to the admin TV Hall, get the score and back to the class in that 10 mins recess break.. Mind u the distance was more than a Km.. We were Ussain Bolts then :) ..
It was 31st Jan ,Old foes again ,target was a lil lesser but the bowling was a lot decent..Wasim, Waqar n Saqlain …Oops …scary even to read them aloud!! The scoreboard showed 274 as the target.. This man was playing them single handedly along with dat new one…Damit!! Dat f**kin backpain…!! That lofted shot off Saqlain , the curtains were halfdown.. Read the last paragraph’s first line again now…
Yup, India lost the match by 12 Runs…Sachin was given the MOM.. But he was absent for the presentation, weeping in the dressing room like a school kid, blamin himself…
But things were lot different in the last test… We had a good opening stand in the last session of the 4th day… But Pieter would ve thought they gonna win the match the next eve.. The ball did every possible thing that a spinner would dream off.. It jumped, spun , turned and bounced…Last few bricks of the wall were shattered and caught behind and in came the master…
Same venue , Similar situation sans Back Pain !! Settled was gone for a Collinwood Beauty, Stylish was deceived but Sachin was unstoppable… This time he din wanna surrender n weep…He glided, pushed, punched, pulled and paddled and then jumped in Joy..He sealed the famous Indian Victory along with ‘Sixy’ Leftie…:)
The Umpire too was busy looking at this man,like every other at Chepauk…He went on signaling it a boundry for quite sometime,not realizing dat Swann was already tired of askin his Sunglasses back ;-)…
Spectators were happy…! Dressing room was happy…!! Commentators were happy…!!! Even the Groundsmen !!! U don’t c many a times, a woman in a red saree in all smiles who sweeps the ground for less than hundred bucks a day, running all the way to shake hands with Sachin… And a physically challenged man crawling into the ground for the same reason. This will happen only in India n for dat u again gotta be a Sachin Tendulkar!!!
U missed those?? Do wat the commentators were saying last night.. Go.. Go n get the DVD :)
Special thanks to Chennai’s Aficionados…
Stadium was relatively empty when he went past Lara, a part of his own home crowd booed him wen he was not at his best and u could very well remember the infamous semis in 96… But the only crowd which stood n applauded a Pakistan’s Test Victory in India … Kudos Chennai….!!
How can one ever forget those 136 and 155*…!!!
Amidst all those Semesters, Lay-offs, Project fears and blah – blahs, you turned up in big numbers and cheered him.. Your ostensible reasons may be a migraine or a stomach upset ..U wer getting them cured last eve … :)
Thank God !! U din end up meeting ur ( Wait , Wait… Which ‘God’ am meaning here?? Am confused too :) )...TLs n Lecturers at Stand B and HODs n PMs at Stand G …;-P .. And no wonder Sachin reserved his Best for u :)…U deserved dat show Guys ….!!!
Oops.. I forgot u.. Thanks Nisha !! for not stripping off … He..He…
Wat Mickey Mouse is to the world, Tendulkar is to many of us … He never gets any old :)..
Long Live Sachin !!!

இன்று பாரதி பிறந்த தினம் ....
மனனம் செய்து
மதிப்பெண் வாங்கும்
மும்முரத்தில்
மாணவன் எவனோ
மறந்துவிட்டான்
போலும்...
குப்பை தொட்டியில்,
ஆறாம் வகுப்பு
தமிழ் புத்தக அட்டையில்..
முறைத்து கொண்டு
பாரதி ...

என் பார்வையில் வாரணம் ஆயிரம் ....
Never thought i wud post somethin lik dis ere... but coudnt resist from doin so.. Dis movie inspired me so much , N ere u go ... :)
சிரித்து கொண்டே இறக்கும் கணவனும் , " He is a Fantastic man" னு சொல்லிக் கொண்டே சன்னமாக அழும் மனைவியுமென தொடங்குகிறது படம்... இவ்வகையான ஆர்ப்பாட்டமிலாத விடைபெறுதல் என்பது தமிழ் சினிமாவுக்கு ரொம்ப புதுசு..."எங்கெங்கே எங்கெங்கே" னு சில வருஷங்களுக்கு முன்னால் சுத்தின சூர்யாவும் , சிம்ரனுமா அது ? நம்ப முடில ...:)
சினிமாவுக்காக மெனக்கெடுதல் சூர்யாவுக்கு புதிதல்ல...He has given his Best!! Heard Gautham sayin that the team was tryin for some1 like Nana Padekar for the Father's role b4 Surya came fwd...Thank God he did.. This woudnt ve been Gr8 without him !!!
Train ல அதிரடியா Propose பண்றதும் , தோ இங்க இந்தியா னா இங்க இருக்குது அமெரிக்கா என்று அப்பா சொன்னவுடன், "Sigma Phi" முன்னாடி Guitar வச்சிட்டு "என் இனிய பொன் நிலாவே" னு பாடுறது அழகு .. :)
ஈறு வரை ஈர்க்கும் சிரிப்பும், கழுத்தடியில் மச்சமும் என Sameera Reddy !!!
Who has dubbed for Sameera?? Wowwwww!!! n,Btw... For Divya ??? Wack !!!!
N Gautham , May be u r a mech.. It doesn mean dat all ur heroes must also be... A 'Studious' Electronics Guy can very well fall in Love with a 'Stupid' CS Gal ;-)...
"கும்தலக்கடி கும்மாவா ... Mecahnical na சும்மாவா ? 'Heat and Mass Transfer' 3rd attempt எழுதி இருக்கேன் .... March இல்லனா September..." இதெல்லாம் போதும் .. :) Bore அடிச்சாச்சு ...
அப்புறம் Out of Focus ல "ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன் " ,"சத்யா" னு Posters,Cutouts இல்லாம Period film எடுக்கலாமே... நெறைய படத்துல இத பாத்தாச்சு..:)
Right from Rajesh n Reena Joseph all ur pairs ve been so fabulous... Y don u try a full length romantic Movie ?? :) போலீஸ் , gangster இதெல்லாம் விட்டுட்டு ..:)
except for these n a bit of second half... ரொம்பவே அழகான படம் :)
All the songs ve been shot graciouslly...Harris's BGM hs added spice ...N special Kudos to Thamarai..
"என்னோடு வா வீடு வரைக்கும் என் வீட்டை பார் என்னை பிடிக்கும் ..."
Sum1 who liked the film cant forget these lines, which tels half the story, for quite sometime..
ஆங்கிலம் தான் பிரதானம் என்றாலும் ...படம் முழுக்க,
"I'll come into ur life n jus sweep ur feet off" ல ஆரம்பிச்சு
"பணமே இல்ல...But we had the best time of our life"....
"இந்தியாவும் நல்லாருக்கும் ..நானும் நல்லாருப்பேன்ல..."
"வாரணம் ஆயிரம் சூழ வலம் தந்து "வரைக்கும்
சின்ன சின்னதா , அழகழகான வசனங்கள் ....
படம் முழுக்க "Daddy!!Daddy " தான் .. கடைசில கூட "நன்றி டாடி" னு போடறது கொஞ்சம் ஓவர் ..:) அப்பா என்றிருந்தால் இன்னும் அழகாக இருந்திருக்கும் :)..
ஒரு SMS ஞாபகம் வந்துது ..
"தமிழ் படத்துக்கும், Dubbing படத்துக்கும் என்ன வித்யாசம்?
நெறைய English ,கொஞ்சம் தமிழ் இருந்தா அது தமிழ் படம்..Full ஆவே தமிழ் ல இருந்த அது Dubbing படம்... "ஹி ஹி ஹி :)))
Well , then at some point of time every Guy must ve thought about his own dad.. Wat He has done to him or wat he has done to Him in return..... May be this wl fail to fetch repeat audience like wat "மின்னலே" , "காக்க காக்க" did...But this is one of the Best from Gautham Menon....He n Mr.Krishnan can be proud of that...
N Vaaranam Aayiram is a must see....Atleast for surya ...
This post woudn be complete withiut a personal touch ;-)
My Father had never cared for wat I scored in Exams,My rank,My Coll,My Course,My Love,My Likings n Nothing ...( He never taught me how to bowl Outswingers too ;-) ).. Mom was evrything ..
The day wen I got placed I rang up home.. Surprisingly it was my father who picked up, n i had to tell him that ive got placed.He recognised mine as a Cement Manufacturing Company :).. Din wana burst his bubble sayin him dat I pursued Elnx n it had nothin to do with dat, I jus said a "Yes"... :)
He never stepped into my School n College in all dat 20 long yrs ....:) I don ve any regrets too..May be he wanted to live on my own terms from d day 1..:)
He is a Fantastic man too :)
