Cooking..Its nice to learn.

Cooking is an art and according to me every person must learn how to cook. It indeed helps a lot when people move from one place to another in search of better opportunities. It helps me a lot especially for two reasons. First, being a vegetarian its pretty hard to find a vegetarian food here and second, even if I find a good restaurant its pretty costly for me and of course, its not advisable to eat outside daily. Before joining my first job, all that I knew about cooking was to make rice and hot water. It all started when I was posted outside my home town and absence of quality mess near my place forced me and my friend to start cooking. It was my friend who taught me to cook and I still remember the first time I cooked, I made Lady’s finger. It didn’t taste as bad as one would have expected. Initially, I was very slow in learning new dishes and I used to make a routine food with a vegetable and sambhar. As the days passed, I learnt a good number of recipes like palak paneer, veg pulao, kesari, more kuzhmbu, aviyal and few more. However, one thing I would like to try my hands with is a typical Rajasthani recipe.

It is always a fun when you cook along with people who are interested in it and I had such people in Mysore. We used to try our hands on various recipes especially during the weekends. However, for few months, I got fed up with cooking and eventually lost interest. Off late, I started experimenting again and started enjoying it as I used to before. I hope to try out new recipes in the future. If any of you know any do let me know so that I can try myself.

Dialouges which I enjoyed the most!!!

I would like to share some of the movie dialogues which caught my attention and which made me think. Apologies if the words do not match with that of the original. These are just few of many I loved.

First and the foremost is of course the one which I had already written as a separate post.

Anbe Sivam:

Madhavan: “ Enna mathiri design ithu. Kedaikatha blood group kedaika vechi, antha payana pozhaka vechi, ippo… (he cries). Ippo than kadavul irukara illaya nu santhegam varuthu. Illa, enaku kadavaul nambikkai iruku. Ungala mathiri illa…”

Kamal: “ Enaku kadavul nambikkai illa nu yaar sonna..”

Madhavan: ”Oh.. Yaar antha kadavul..” (Kamal points his finger towards Madhavan).

Kamal: Munna pinna theriyatha oruthanuku kanneer vidariaye athan kadavul

Madhavan: Enna thideernu..

Kamal: Ean na naanum Kadavul.

Next is also from the genius’ movie

Nayagan:

Kamal: ”Naalu paer ku nallathu nadakum na ethuvumae thappu illa...”

Baasha:

Rajinikanth: ”Aandavan nallavangala sothipan aana kai vida maataen, aana kettavangaluku neraya kudupan aana kai vituduvan..”

Thalapathi:

Rajinikanth: ” Ean..?”

Some artiste: ”Deva..”

...

Mamooty: ”Suriya..En kooda vanthu iru. Inga irunthu ean kashta padanum..”

Rajinikanth: ”Illa Deva. Ivanga ellarayum vittu vara mudiyathu. Chinna vaysulenthu enna thooki valathaga.”

Mamooty asks him again and again Rajinikanth refuses.

Mamooty now raising his voice: “Unaku ivanga ellarum irukanga da aana enaku Suriya mattum than irukan.”

Alaipayuthey:

Madhavan: “Naa unna virumbala, un mela aasai padala, nee azhaga iruka nu nenaikala aana ithellam nadanthidumo nu bayama iruku. Yosichu sollu...”

Nala Damayanthi:
It’s a conversation between two airport officials

Person 1:”You are from his country and you don’t understand his language and she is from different country but she understands him.”

Person 2: “That’s India for you. Mera Bharat Mahan..”

Parthiban Kanavu:

Srikanth: “Sorry! Theriyama paturchu..”

Sneha: “ Enna sonnenga?”

Srikanth:”Theriyama paturchu nu sonnaen..”

Sneha: “Athuku munnadi”

Srikanth:”Oh athuva, Sorry nu sonnaen”

Sneha: ”Purushan pondatti kulla sorry sollika aarambicha apram life muzhuka sorry solrathulayae poidum.”

.............

Srikanth: ” Pondatti a irukarthuku oru azhagu venum, athu en Saytya kitta nerayave iruku. Eppo ava appa kittiyae ”enakum en purushanum kum aayiram vishyam irukum athula yaarum thalayida vendam” nu sonnalo atha vida pondatti a irukarthuku vera ennanga venum. Enakga evlovo vitu kuduthurka, naa avalukaga ethayum vitu kuduthathilla. Avalukaga naa en kathala vitu kudukaren. Athunala ennanga, ava vara varaikum avalukaga naa wait pandraen..”
