A fantasy ride ….

Fantasy is allowed in celluloid  ...why not is real life? I love sujatha’s dialogue in Mudhalvan “Valkailayum rewind button erunta evlo nalla erukum” ….this is so very true and something which everyone may wish come true. As we step into each year and grow older some memories seems to be etched in our memories and stay for ever …..I am wondering why don’t I live through fantasy for a while …..

1980’s ….

Tightly stitched shorts above knee level …riding BSA SLR cycle …..Friday ‘Oliyum oliyum’ …..Doordashan cinema once a week on Sunday evening ……Natraj geometry box ……four line all lesson notebook ….VCR and casette....Iyer kadai bhajji near Tepakulam …..Maris 70mm theatre …..Michael’s 1.5 rupees vanilla ice cream …..Madurai exhibition in last week of May and round 5 rupees appalam with chilly powder and many many more …..

1990’s…..

Wednesday school assembly …..Saturday color dress….waiting for last day of exam to splash ink on others, Bajaj chetak scooter, Burma paai, cheepu cheedai from appatha, fight for remote control, gully cricket, Visu’s arattai arangam followed by chicken liver soup around 11am on Sunday, Floppy disk, dry hibiscus flower in middle of the book, Pazhamuthir cholai sathukudi juice, Book cricket, Monopoly, Hotmail and USA.NET email address, Bangalore Iyengar bakery  puffs,  steam bath, adiresam, Thirattu paal, Nongu vandi, thanni pandal manga oorgaai, Poo thattu, Reynolds pen and many many more …..
