Enjoy Maadi

Another Friday was on the verge of termination, just then i realized that i needed a hard copy of my midterm report to get it spiral bound and submit it on Monday. So i lingered along the office,got a copy of it and went to my room late at 8pm. ( i dint work that hard...it was the Bangalore traffic that delayed my return to the room). Well... there starts my weekend. This time, nothing was planned for, nothing was expected. But it turned out to be quite different. 

It was just another Saturday morning, and as the others left for invigilation of the DLPD exam, 

there were just 3 of us left. The morning passed by, quite uneventfully till lunch. It was obviously a Biryani Day, like just every other day that follows a Friday and comes before a 

Sunday. But, what we we did after lunch was what mattered most. I will not say it was completely impromptu or a rattlepated decision made in a  split second, of course it was planned to be executed to perfection an hour before. 

We skipped icecream tentatively and as Mahesh and Ohmkar went to the theatre to get tickets, i hurried to my room to change my shorts. Well, its the latest Upendra Movie in Karnataka, Buddivantha. 

Yup.... you heard it right, yup... i don't understand a bit of Kannada except "madi", "solpha" and "hela" and the "Silkeeeeboarrd and IDEEPUYOOOL" shouts in the private buses, yup... I am an Upendra fan :P (just kidding). Mahesh's foot was bleeding as he kicked some ass out of anxiety, we jostled in the queue for the tickets (its just 50 bucks...in Bangalore that is next to impossible) and realized we still had time to relish our traditional ice-cream after biryani. Real Star Uppi Dada, as the people fondly refer to him here, 6(7 different) roles, 6 pack, 6 songs, and 5 heroines in a movie. Man... that was something. A whole role in telugu imitating our very dear SamaraSimhaReddy factionism and spoofing the Dhoom and Krish (Khush) flicks as well. A role as a baba who marries a girl promising her to take her to heaven as he is the "passport" was beyond imagination. Well I now have an answer to the question "What did u see in Bangalore?" as i can say "Uppi Dada movi 2nd day :D"

Time flew past swiftly... and I was going home that weekend. My ticket was confirmed and the next day morning there i was in Hyd..the city of Biryani. As soon as i got out of the station i could here the "Maaaki Kirkiri" and "Kaiku Miyaaan" among the auto drivers. Then I got into a running bus to reach my home.What a contrast to the "solpha" and "madi" of Kannada. And then of course it was followed by the Haleem and Biryani stuff. The return journey was quite amazing. I was surrounded by a bunch of school kids going for an excurison to Bangalore. Had some really weird experiences there... 8th class kids calling me Uncle and a discussion on "how stars shine" at 4 o clock in the morning. The train was 3 hours late, which added to my woes. :( :( :(

 

Bloody Bangalore...it rains all the time and it is such a pain in the ass...

 

I have recently developed a strong desire to see Kannada video songs...i swear...they are better than a few balayya movies ( no offence). The choreography is mind blowing...one must see it to believe it. Well... it all boils down to one thing...how to make the worst possible video for a very nice song. I shall get them back to campus next sem and share it on DC++. Too many holidays...too many birthdays...to many people writing GRE...too many things at PS that I don't understand how to do...that pretty much sums up my October in Bangalore.
