Maanga bathai !
when I was a kid....like some 10-12 yrs back....my mom or my dad used to take me to the "marina" beach at least 3 times every week !...I used to really enjoy it...the long walk on the sand....the wind whizzing past ur ears...a crab Occasionally running over foot...making u go berserk , the 'molaga bajji', the waves.....everything was exiting...even if it is the same thing over and over again...it was nice...never failed to bring a smile on ur face.....and there was one thing that I never missed ...still don't... 'MAANGA BATHAI'...the boat shaped pieces of raw mango ,with cuts parallel to each other and perpendicular to the skin....with loads of chilli/salt powder !!....uhmm....the taste - hevenly !!...now-a-days...no time for all that is the situation in my gooofed up life !
Today....I am in office....did I hear someone say that toay is saturday ?!?...I know but my PM dosen't...I guess !....
well...I am in office still...and some 15 mins back I steppet out for a coffee....under my fav mango tree..one among the many inside our company campus....half way through ,something caught my attention... big, round....green...a fully grown MAANGA !....I wouldn't have given it a second look ....usually...today I dunno.....exited ,as I often get,...I looked at the Gardener guy and smiled at him....the reason.... he had a long stick with which he was actually spraying some stuff on the plants and the trees.....
' anna antha komba konjam ippadi kodunga'
'yethuku sir,?'
'kodunga sollaren....(I take the stick from him and go under the tree)...yellam maanga adikkahaan...(wack...one alls down)....'
by now my friend comes into the picture...
'dei...yenakku onnu...' (wack ...another one !)
'thanks anna....inthaanga kombu'.....'sir, paathu kazhuvittu saapudunga '.....'ok !'
I usually carry a knife in my bag....a habit that stuck with me from college....dont ask for what...I jus carry it ....
I walked back to my cube.....cut beautiful pices as explained above.....stuffed chilli/salt mix (got that from the food court dominos) into to the gaps.....now thats what I call a 'maanga bathai'...
3 pieces gone.....5 left.....music is playing ( nee our kaadal...from nayagan)....the room is really cold...a really good looking one stittin in the cube opposite to mine....hey who wouldn't wanna work on weekends !!! ...
hey... did she jus give me a smile....alert....I think shez after my maanga...I dunno if I will give her a bite...lets see.....that depends.....

Dear "Phobiac" U made me wonder who U R.Probanly that is what U wanted as is evident from Ur introduction.But u R my Budda since U R not intersted in anything!But the mangoe as in the case of :Pazhani Andi" has done the trick ,but it is 'ulta' in that He got "Gnaana" and went to the hill but U got attached to it.)Just for fun)Mangoes are tasty especially raw with salt and chili
Best wishes for a happy new year.

kai vasam thozhil sila pala irukku...maanga vyabaramum ...not a bad idea....apparum ....ur photos are really good...I used to be obsessed with p'graphy...and painting...now tis been a loooong time since I did something good with my camera or on a canvas......esp the lion pics..keep up the great work !...digital right....I still prefer the gud'ol analog one !...
@kichami
I went through ur blogs and the kinda knowledge and exprience u have, humbles me...and I did learn a lot jus a few blogs down...
oh...sir, please dont even try to understand me....tell u what...even I cant underatsnd myself...most of the time...thinking a lot makes this to u I guess...
actually budda abstained from liking anything....au contraire...I make myself like everything...I hate my job ..but still I work weekends...I hate driving,still I drive 40kms everyday to office..I hate a lot of things..but still working on them to make myself like them....
my principle in life " love everything...even if u hate it...that way u will love ur life..."...I certainly love mine !!...it really puts a smile on ur face which will make u comfortable around anyone and everyone...
