In Coimbatore!

Alright then!! I watched this amazing lil' movie called "In Bruges" yesterday! wow Colin Farel has so metamorphosized into a brilliant actor from just the sterotypical hollywood bad boy!! The movie also has some kickass acting from Ralph Fiennes and Brendon Gleeson!The excessive swearing and profanity might be unsetlling @ first but after a few minutes it kinda feels spot on!!


Ray(Colin Farel's character in the movie) calls Bruges,a lil' fairy tale town in Belgium his own personal hell and voila! it sounds like a line from my life!While Everyone goes ga ga over the virtues of coimbatore i somehow find this the dorkiest place in the world!

Yeah the climate is awesome! But gimme chennai's heat and sweat any day! i'll take it!
Yeah the people of coimbatore are so nice @ heart.They are helpul and blah blah blah! but i miss the haggling with the chennai autowallas!
Kongu tamil is supposedly one of the more refined dialects, but ppl not everyone knows the 4 directions(nesw) in tamil!I would rather that when i ask u for directions to a place u don't take me literally and tell me "kizhakala merkala" stuff! is right and left so difficult to comprehend!
I don't like random strangers coming up to me with fashion advice either!(refer next post)It happens only in coimbatore man!
Why do even elder people call younger people "vaanga ponga" in coimbatore? just don't get it!
Why Can't even a single friggin' theatre here show "X-MEN: ORIGINS"? It's a blockbuster for heaven's sake!oh and tamil dubbed versions don't count!I don't want to hear Hugh Jackman(in all his glory) going "naambunga"(trust me)!
A curse from a girl's mouth(just a damn it! mind u) that is seen as a some loss of chastity!I mean life's not all hunky dory always and we are allowed to curse! I personally believe this should be incorporated in the "Fundamental rights".
Why does everyone has to turn and look if someone speaks in english over the phone on a town bus!It's rude to stare!
I don want to hold ur baby while u stand in town bus!He/She could pee on me!! I don want that! Atleast ask me first!Or take the damn seat i offered!Don't foist ur baby on me! and all u cougar ladies(40-50 year olds) on the bus,if u see a lady with a baby standing and feel bad for her offer up ur seat!Don't ask me to get up!
And u school kids i'm not a stand for ur bags! and it's ok to ask someone if they can hold ur bags instead of just depositing them on their laps!
A girl in jeans or skirts is not a separate species! stop staring!

Ouch that was bitchy :P

You should travel to PSG by bus everyday. :) Bag-holding seat-offering aare all everyday events. :P I voluntarily get up for people who look like they'll fall. Not necessarily old.

You missed one thing. Never sit in a bus with a member of the opposite sex by your side unless you wnat people to stare at you.

Lol!!even i get irritated when they say that "kizhakala merkala" stuff...people calling everyone "vaanga ponga" is the culture of the city.People have been taught from their childhood to give respect to everyone regardless of whether they are younger or not...ROFL i really love the bus ride part...though i hate travelling in bus it can get interesting sometimes.
