when i was a schoolgirl in chennai,
i cant count the times (esp. before physics tests) that I’ve stopped studying and started yearning deeply for a cyclone …
it wasnt even a yearning it was a primal urge
it wasnt even a primal urge it was a prayer
it wasnt even a prayer it was the tears of a victim pummeled by a physics textbook
cyclone = no show. or do a meaner thing: appear on weekends or public holidays. pshaw.
**
and look at today’s nilam: back to back holidays from school, and tomorrow looks like a hatrick of days off: and I am yearning, primally urging, praying, still the victim: mum of two boys who play demolition cricket and the owner of a laundry basket that has runneth over.

#Iamnotkiddingyouaboutchennai: @ one golu i had to plaster my spine to the wall and suck in my stomach, if i didnt want to knock a bommai down
Twopointthree kids, sixpointsix ideas on raising them 
MiM – surely FB’s prayers are being heard by the Almighty. That tells me he’s more devout, spiritual or has a special connection with Mahavishnu. After all, if he knows where Mahavishnu keeps the sudarsnam and the conch, why does it surprise you that FB can get Him to produce cyclones at will?
What’s with the golu that requires you to look like a supermodel?? I’d decline vetrilai paaku invitations from them next year.
not supermodel lah; it’s a bommai kadai out there, crazily populated with toys and no room for ppl.
I love cyclone days in Chennai. Always get nostalgic for the good old days around this time of the year!
🙂 me too
See I came over to see you…..miss you and the kids…especially the idly’s guruji !!
kids were talking about the idly just last week
Hope the cyclone has not caused too much damage! and anyways its shows life always comes back in circles na!
LOL on that golu..like Meera says, decline those invitations eh?
when in chennai, decline is not an option. ppl get offended for next 7 janams, etc
Sigh! I so wish to get out of these gloomy days too. Goodbye already Nilam .. hmmpf!
but physics is fun!
and there we disagree for the next 7 janams…
