CAMPUS CAROL - Come
Thursday & this chirpy kids bulletin would be at our door step. Be it
crayon sketched Mountains by a 7 year old or a water colored painting by a
teenager- they would publish it one beside the other. From poetry to
puzzles and stories to sonnet this
bulletin was an ode to "kids kreativity"
BOMBAY
CENTRE POINT CHEMBUR - 1st
office- 1st job @ Centre Point
Chembur. It was Jan 2008 . Connotation for "Vessels" was about
to change.Vessels in Maritime Industry mean Ships. This was just the
beginning....a lot more vocabulary got added over years. Abbreviations became a part of routine, Time Zone differences got
respected - World became a smaller place when looked from the Sea Trade point
of view.
CHENNAI
COMIC SIDEKICK - When you
watch movies of 5 different languages- what comes to you is an "Analysis
Hangover". A unexpected & unwanted habit of over analyzing movie
structure. So, after having a wholesome
meal "Tamil" movie, when I switch over to "Marathi" - I realize there is no Comic
sidekick for the main lead. The Tamil Cinema hero;-over years has developed a
strong & healthy bond with their comic sidekick. They are generally hero's
friend/ close family-and get good screen-time in the story arc.
I am glad you can understand and watch movies in 5 different languages. I can watch only in 2 languages. Nowadays, in some Tamil movies, the comedy skits have nothing to do with the story. You can take that skit and insert in any movie.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading about your ingenious theme.
ReplyDeleteOne great plus point of the city I live in, Bengaluru (Bangalore) is the moderate weather round the year, unlike many other cities that face extreme temperatures.
ReplyDeleteThere are many good educational institutions and a number of big and small companies, both Indian and globals ones.
But on the flip side, the city is normally a picture of congestion (of course not right now), traffic bottlenecks, unending civic constructions, unmotorable roads!
Thanks for dropping by.
You know what, I read your post twice. It gave me some nostalgic feelings. While reading it, I could also reconnect myself to all the places I had been to. Definitely, there are many memories associated with each place. Wonderful, heartfelt read, Viyoma.

ReplyDeleteFive different languages? Wow. I learned French in school for 4 years and forgot all of it.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing theme. I've never thought about most of this. Cool.
ReplyDeleteHave a great April A to Z.

I only speak three languages, but I tend to overanalyze movies too! :D I used to tell my students to compare two remakes of the same movie to see the differences...
