Abusive Talent
Abusive Talent
In my first blog I had introduced myself. Now for the benefit of the friends who want to know me better here I go.... I have divided my life into 3 phases and I will be shedding more light on the 2nd phase. The reason being only in this phase I happened to do so many stupid things to get the attention of the opposite sex. Each phase lasts for 8 yrs. Ok guys i know everybody is good at maths and by now would have calculated my age.... First 8 yrs I spent a care free life in Bombay and then my dad got transfered to Trichy. OK OK i can understand ... you guys must be wondering what is the connection between the title of the blog and the story that I am writing. This is just to give a small build up before highlighting my talents to you guys.
My mother tounge is tamil and still I had difficulty talking in tamil initialy when i moved to trichy from mumbai. I knew only hindi as that was the only language I used to talk with my friends in my school. The first day at school in trichy was a night mare. Teachers were actually beating the guys with the cane. So Naive was I during those days, I actually started crying out of pity for those guys getting beaten. Slowly days passed by and everybody started making fun of the way I spoke Tamil. In few days time I figured out that I dont need to know the intrecacy of the language to prove my tamil status, all i had to do was to be fluent with my abuses and ppl will not tend to play smart with me. My focus and the will power to get the better of those guys instilled in me a great thirst to learn all the possible abuses. I was not a normal student at it, i spent a good number of hours trying to string few words and see if it rhyms well. My vocabulary improved a lot and I was ousted the thala (Head) of abuses. My spontainity was unchallenged.
After that things moved smoothly until I entered into the engineering college. Seniors were trying their best to be scary and stuff. I did one yr of engineering in Madurai Thyiagarjar college before moving to singapore for undergrad studies. Ragging is full fledged in Madurai. Couple of seniors really looked like the tamil movie villain Kabali. The first thing senior asks is that "Dei oru anju keta varthai solluda" ( Hey you, tell five abuses that you know). I was third out of 8 freshies standing in the line. First guy started listing out the words and when he was struggling to get his 4th word " SLAM " he gets a slap from seniors and asked to fight like brucee lee against the wall. Then goes the second guy same result and now the first guy has a partner to fight with. The second guy was to be Kamal Hassan, after everyknock from bruce lee he is supposed to cry like him. It was really funny to see that but we are not supposed to laugh or else namakku senthil maathiri adi vilugum ( if we laugh then we will be beaten like sentil, a tamil movie comedian known for getting beaten by Kounda Mani all the time).
3rd in the row is our HERO ( Thats me), and was posted with the same question to list out 5 words. Here goes the hero !&^&$^$*&%^*&)(*)(*_(+(*()&*&^*&%^$&#$#%&$^%^#$%&%&%%&%&&%&*&^*&**)(*_(_+(+()+)+_*()*(()&@*&^^&*(&@(&_*&()*)&*^*&^*_*(&(*)*)(&()*& oooooofffff!!! ( gasping for breadth ). This was followed by a heavy chearing by the surrounding seniors. Thats how I became known to the college world. Seniors used to use my name as an example when other freshies were being ragged. Thats the only time in my life I had set an example for.
THIS SETTTING AN EXAMPLE THING, DOOMED ANY POSSIBLE CHANCE LEFT FOR ME TO INTERACT WITH THE GIRLS OF MY COLLEGE. Hero does not accept his defeat ( the lost oppurtunity to put Kadalai ) so he finds a new strategy and starts portraying himself as a guy who is not interseted in girls. Namma hero didnt stop here slowly started giving "ACHAK" status ( it means a guy with a bit of feminine character with in) to guys who used to hang out in the shades of the girls. Beleive me or not in 1998 batch of ppl in my college NOT TALKING to girls and ignoring them was considered really cool ......... This was the outcome or pure vayatru erichal of the guys who were in the same boat as me. Beleive me, it was a sinking boat because majority of the population was in it.
To all the girls reading this blog.... Now our hero is a completely reformed guy and does not carry this attitude...
