Seenu,Teenu and Tree

All characters mentioned below are fictional and any resemblance to anyone, especially to any of my classmates, is purely co-incidental.

This story pays "tribute" to a lady's noble endeavor to increase the language vocabulary of students in a particular institute. Let's call this lady Teenu. The story is about how Teenu tries to teach malayalam to her friend Seenu and how Teenu gets a little help from her classmate Tree Trunker in the process.

Tree Trunker is a first year computer science Mtech student in IIT Bombay. He is a good boy......I mean a very good boy.....I mean a fantastic boy.

(Again I have to emphasize that the characters mentioned have no resemblance whatsoever with anyone alive).

Most of the time Tree is free. So free that his email id itself is tree.is.free@gmail.com. One day, as usual, Tree was whiling away his time when suddenly he saw his classmate Seenu's status message

"Ente aniyante peru Manoj ennu aanu"
(My bro's name is Manoj)

The message was in malayalam. How did she ever learn malayalam!!!!
Tree pinged Seenu

Tree : "You the Malayalam"

Seenu : "Yeah"

Tree : "Since the When"

Seenu : "Since Yesterday"

Tree : "But the why"

Seenu : "Simply"

Tree : "By the whom"

Seenu : "Teenu"

Since Tree was a mallu too, he too decided to teach Seenu something.Tree always believed that one learns best from mistakes. And he decided to apply that concept here.

Tree : "Hey Seenu, you should thank your teacher Teenu for her great sacrifice of teaching you"

Seenu : "But how"

Tree : " Next time when you see her, just tell her 'podi kazhudhe' . In case you want to thank a guy just say 'poda kazhudhe' "

(PS : poda/podi kazhudhe means "Go away donkey")

Seenu :"Oo so what does this mean"

Tree : "It means thank you for whatever you have done"

Seenu : "Hmm podi kazhudhe....sounds so beautiful"

Tree : " Yeah I know..it's nothing. I can give you even more beautiful sentences".

Seenu : "Anyway thanks for your help. Poda kazhudhe".

Tree : "Err...yeah welcome welcome".

The scene changes to the girl's hostel. Teenu and Seenu are taking a stroll in the garden

Seenu : "Teenu, I want to thank you for what you have done for me"

Teenu : (blushing) "Sure go ahead"

Seenu : "Podi kazhuthe"

Teenu : "What!!!" (looking at Seenu mouth opened)

Seenu : "Podi kazhuthe, podi kazhuthe, podi kazhuthe".

Teenu : "Is this what I get for doing all this."

Seenu : "You like it?"

Teenu : "You have no idea girl"

Seenu : "Want more?"

Teenu : "O no no no...had more than enough for the day."

Seenu : "So when is my next class...teacher."

Teenu : "School closed for summer vacations."

Damsel in Distress

"Hahahaha you will never be able to escape. C'mon Basanti, dance for me. Dance Basanti dance" , Gabar cried hysterically, holding both her hands in his tight grip.  " Hahahaha ", Gabar's men laughed in chorus. Kaaliya, Gabar's right hand man laughed the loudest. Kaaliya had eaten lot of salt thanks to his master and hence he had to laugh the loudest to prove his loyalty.  Basanti tried to resist, but to no avail. She looks angrily at Gabar. He looked back at her, licking his lips. "Cry as much you want Basanti, but no one is going to come to help you" , Gabar laughed. " GABAAR ....You don't know my Mohan Chetta. He is faster than the wind, stronger than the mountains, more terrorising than Bin Laden himself. He will come and rescue me from your evil clutches you big brute" , Basanti cried. "Mohan Chetta? Who the bloody f**k is that?" "He is my heartthrob, my price charming, the most handsome man in the universe...

How to speak in Telugu

PS: Before I start my new blog, a small token of appreciation for my friend Akhilesh Ladha . He has been very enthusiastic about my previous post "Are we truly IITians" and has been trying to forward this message of resource conservation across as many people as possible. It includes posting the post on our Mtech newsgroup, orkut community and also to his hostel mailing list. Really appreciate your effort my friend. How to speak in Telugu ------------------------- There are lots of side effects of having a guy from a different region, talking a completely strange language, as one's roommate. The main (dis)advantage is that you get to learn (or maybe forced to learn) a whole new language. Well, mine case is no different either. And after around 8 months of sharing the same room with my roomie Sheiku, here I am , equipped with an entirely new language...Telugu. My roomie is from a place called Guntur in Andhra Pradesh. So most of his calls are either from his home town or ...
