deepavali memories

deepavali has arrived
deepavali purchase ellam mudichacha?

deepavali is the festival most liked by me. i think most of u ppl. are like me. it is a grand festival with colour, sweets, new dresses, crackers, new movie releases and what not?

when i was a boy, i wud prepare the cracker list well in advance, say 1 month before. i will almost list all the items in the shop. adhula 10% daan kedaikum kaiyile. my favourite was 'kuruvi vedi'. not puny like the red 'electric vedi' [bijili] or not big like 'lakshmi vedi', the middle one with gud sound.

apuram atom bomb, bullet bomb ellam kooda undu. saniyila vediya vaikardhu, kottangachi kulla vedia vakkardhu indha madhiri neraya adventures.

bullet bomb-la 'thiri' romba chinnadha irukum. nerupu vachutu thala therikka oduvom.

kaarthala yaaru first 'vedi' vakardhunu oru pottiye nadakkum. 2.30 manikku ellam kooda ezhundhu mudhal vedia vachiruken. appuram yaaru veetu munnadi neraya vedi kuppa irukunu oru potti.

deepavali thrill-e adhu vara varikum daan. mudinjapuram romba sogam ayidum. innum oru varusham kazhichu daane thirumba varum. adhaan.

the night before deepavali eppavume enga veetula 'vengaya sambar and urula kezhangu kari' daan standard samaiyal.

enga paati kaarthala 3 maniku ellam ezhundhu idli panniduvaanga. yaar saapidaralo illaiyo. nice paati.


91 deepavali had more than 20 movies released. of them guna, dalapathy and bramha were released in udhayam complex. fdfs guna, sdss dalapathy, tdts bramha 3 padamum parthaen.

en friend-oda appavuku udhayam complex-lerndhu ticket kedaikum. indha 3 padathukum 10*3 30 ticket kedachudhu.

adhai black-la vithu daan andha varusha deepavali amoga kondattam

train-nu oru samacharam. nool katti vidanum. final year project kooda easy-a pannidalam. aana indha train-a successfulla vittavanga romba konjam paer daan. appuram vengaya vedi. school pogum podhu pidikadha pasangal kaal kitta adichu vedikardhu en all time favourite.

of course, am 34 and all these r my school day memories only. appurama movies graduate aagi, apuram adhuvum pogaama tv-ye gathinu irundhu ippo adhuvum vittu pasangal enjoy panradha paarthu naan enjoy pannindu iruken.

the last stuff in diwali is called 'buss' in our area. meandhu ponadhu, vedikkadhadhu, thannila nananjadhu idhu ellathaiyum pirichu adhula irukara vedi marundhai thaniya kotti, ellathaiyum mothama pottu, ore adiya patha vachiruvom. adhu eppadi react pannumnu yaaralayum solla mudiadhu. dhideernu jodhi madhiri prakasama oru velicham varum. athoda sari. deepavali close. ellorum avava velaiya paarka poga vaendiadhu daan.

naan 2,3rd padikarapo daily pocket money 10 paisa kedaikum. from my paati. adhula enna pee poruku vaangi thingardhunu romba yosichu thaen mittai, strong mittai ( andha kaalathu 'polo'), innum enna ezhavellam undo adhu ellathaiyum vaangi thimben.

deepavali time podhu that 10 paisa is strictly channelised towards pattasu. roll cap 10 paisa, pottu cap 5 paisa oru dubba. roll cap vedikka thupaki irukadhu. so 2 dubba pottu cap vaangi kaiyila kedacha oru kalla eduthundu oru orama okkandhuduven.

appuram enna 1 hour nalla pozhudhu pogum enaku. pakkathu veedugaluku daan thondaravu. vidama 1 hr dop dop-nu satham kaetunde irukum.

but no neighbour ever complained. avanga veetulayum indha madhiri 4 vaandu irukum. adhunga endha sandhula okkarndhu yaar thalaiya urutum-nu avangalukum theriyumolyo!!

engathula bakshanam 2 occasion-uku daan panuvaa. krishna jayanthi and deepavali. so oru edhir paarpu irukum. eppo varum-nu. but nowadays, whenever u feel like eating, u can go to grand sweets or aab and get whatever u want. no seasonal problems. available all round the year. adhaanala oru charm-e illama pochu.

waiting makes the dress or eateries more glamorous. if available throughout the year, it does not make any difference whether it is deepavali or pongal.

hail our [g]olden days.
