Vijay Sethupathi - Dayummmmmmm !!!

For starters, those of you who are unsure of the word dayum (apologies, if they are a little harsh), refers to the word 'damn' exaggerated. I mean, when we say, darmmmmmmmm in an astonished voice, it sounds some what like dayum. Urban dictionary.

So, yeah ! The Vijay Sethupathi is an ace actor. And he plays his parts perfectly. I am a fan. I think he oozes the manly charm. The Tamil Azhagan. Tall, dark, handsome. I have always been his fan, since his Naduvala Konjum Pakkatha Kaanom days. And in his recent '96, I fell flat. What a character. Present day chivalry.

I didn't watch Junga. Wanted so much to watch Super Deluxe since it had Samantha too, but unfortunately, it was banned in Malaysia due to the transgender issue. Enna kodumai Sir ithu ?

It's a Saturday night here. Drizzling outside. I'm very much a home person. So, nothing soothes me like home sweet home. I thought of this post since evening and compiling them weren't easy. I have been a little free, so here it is - 8 video songs of Vijay Sethupathi. 8 different characters he portrays.
If you are a zealot like me, you'll understand how valuable this songs actually are.

My favourite ? In this list, I'd say Govind Vasantha's Karai Serntha Piragey. Simply love the video. The flow. The cinematography. The lyrics. The tune. I can listen to this one all day long.

So here.

Tangthile Oru Kurai - Bagapiravinai

Halo everyone !! It's June, once again. That time of the year, when my hero celebrates his birthday. Yup, Mogan's birthday is in the mid of June. It is norm for us to celebrate his birthday as mine, and mine and his. It may sound a little weird to many, but we have been keeping up this tradition for some couple of years now.

Well, you see. On his birthday, I wake up to a birthday wish and vice versa. It's fun actually. Love is kind of weird. You find joy in the small things. And it's  a learning journey. Everything seasons. Relationships, too. And this is us.

The two day Eid holidays is about to end soon. I had two days of undisturbed rest at my mom's place. Mogan is away for work in the country's capital. I was supposed to join him but couldn't get last minute tickets for the train nor flights.

I didn't watch any movies in recent times. New movies, I mean. Movies that I have watched before, yes. But nothing new. Not Majili. Not Oh! Baby! Both being Samantha's. And me being her ardent fan.

Watched bits of Thotti Jaya, bits of Veyil, bits of Snegitheye. All in bits. None in full. Read some reviews on recent Tamil movies. Imaika Nodigal seems to have many positive ones. I haven't actually. Did catch some snippets of it. But in full, not yet. I should I guess. I like Nayantara and Aadharva. And of course, the very talented Vijay Sethupathi.

It's fifteen minutes to 10pm now. My GERD has improved tremendously, thanks to my daily consumption of yogurt or kefir, which I alternate. I do get them once in a while, especially when I have too much of coffee or spicy stuff. I'm learning what I can take and not, gradually. I have reduced my food portions. And I don't eat excessively - anymore. Being petite does not guarantee a healthy body. That's the lesson I have learned.

I love this song. It is a classic one. I love the melody and the lyrics. Love is defined so beautifully. Old songs are majestic. Like this. I owe Appa my gratitude for introducing me to such beautiful ones. Songs such as this remain forever. Just like love.

The Tamil lyrics.

தங்கத்திலே ஒரு குறை இருந்தாலும்
தரத்தினில் குறைவதுண்டோ
உங்கள் அங்கத்திலே ஒரு குறை இருந்தாலும்
அன்பு குறைவதுண்டோ

சிங்கத்தின் கால்கள் பழுது பட்டாலும்
சீற்றம் குறைவதுண்டோ
சிங்கத்தின் கால்கள் பழுது பட்டாலும்
சீற்றம் குறைவதுண்டோ
சிந்தையும் செயலும் ஒன்று பட்டாலே
மாற்றம் காண்பதுண்டோ...
மாற்றம் குறைவதுண்டோ

கால்கள் இல்லாமல் வெண்மதி வானில்
தவழ்ந்து வரவில்லையா
கால்கள் இல்லாமல் வெண்மதி வானில்
தவழ்ந்து வரவில்லையா
இரு கைகள் இல்லாமல் மலர்களை அணைத்து
காதல் தரவில்லையா...
காதல் தரவில்லையா

காலம் பகைத்தாலும் கணவர் பணி செய்து
காதல் உறவாடுவேன்
காலம் பகைத்தாலும் கணவர் பணி செய்து
காதல் உறவாடுவேன்
உயர் மானம் பெரிதென்று வாழும் குல மாதர்
வாழ்வின் சுவை கூறுவேன்...
வாழ்வின் சுவை கூறுவேன்

தங்கத்திலே ஒரு குறை இருந்தாலும்
தரத்தினில் குறைவதுண்டோ
உங்கள் அங்கத்திலே ஒரு குறை இருந்தாலும்
அன்பு குறைவதுண்டோ...



Here's your R. Shalu signing off. This song should go on loop mode. On a soft volume level. At night. A perfect lullaby. An apt reminder that even gold has its flaws but that doesn't decrease its value. The person we love have their cons, too. Accept and embrace them. That's how beautiful relationships last.

Love always,
R. Shalu
