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."
