Nest and I

Lamp post ignited the street.I stood there looking at it
"7601 Knox Ave".
The place where i spent my 2 yrs of stay in US.
It was named as "Nest" later.

Away from home,from my girl for the first time in 25 yrs.
Nest life teached me a lot.
Nest rescued me off from my home sickness,missing my beloved.

Gave me a chance to meet some of the lovely souls in this world.
Enabled me to relive the good old days of volley ball that i played in school.
Nest is where i discovered that i can also cook.
Defined the meaning of "Fun".Enhanced my level of self confidence.

Nest folks that was really a awe-inspiring stay.No words to describe it.
The nest phase of life will ever be in my memories...always.

No way blood related..when i get hurt u guys felt the pain of mine..and thanks a lot for taking care of me

Will miss u Nest....

PS:

Mr.Perfect/Meez/DRL : All the best for your married life.
Bhai/Dakalti/Theo : True prayers for you guys to get "The your KIND of GIRL" in life.
Biddu : Wish u success in your carrier and Stay at onsite

Life in Nest..

It was that day when rajan left for india. everyone were in a terrible shock. Each one of us started understanding, it was not just fun around in nest. There is some real emotional bonding. After spending around 3% of my life time in nest, it is time for me to fly out of the nest. I am writing this blog with a heavy heart and am not getting any words to describe how much i feel.

Rajan -> You were the numero one in the nest daa. You did so many things to keep everyone happy and make life easy. So many sacrifices. So many adjustments. You are awesome dude. You built the nest

Theo -> Laughter is the best medicine da.. Dude, you made us laugh. Though we have ridiculed you many times, everything was for fun da and at heart we all knew how important you are. Without you, nest would have been deprived of lots of fun da. You kept us flocking

Bhai -> You rocked with your enthusiam da. You took the trouble of putting together multiple plans. be it for a weekend enjoyment or for a long trip. you enjoyed and made everyone be a part of it.. You kept us flying

Dakalti -> The unifying factor. you ability to mingle and keep everyone close to heart was really amazing daa. Without you we might not have even found out the term nest. Your good heartedness and friendship is what made most of us feel at home. You protected the nest..

Ajay-> Your bubbliness and enthusiasm kept the nest going. You never felt bad being around with all tamil guys and never separated yourselves from us. Keep up your enthu.. You added value to the nest

Nannu -> Your different thoughts and ideas, your speech and activities helped us going in tough times..

Laxmi -> Your experiments helped us improve. Your choice of movies, choice of food and many others helped us enjoy a lot..

Raji -> Being a single girl in the entire gang, you were the differentiator in the nest.. Cant forget the days when you have cooked for us and those days when you made coffee when we come from home. thanks for everything..

Balaji&Shakthi -> Your presence enjoyed us and you helped us in so many aspects. No words to explain what they mean to us

Finally, all others Nadans, Suthanga, Fardeen, Ibrahim, Gopi, Vasu, Venky, Nirupen, accn guys all of you had a important role at some point as the nest was built and was sustained.
Thanks for everything guys.. Will definitely miss this life.

When water becomes vodka - Part 1

Yet another plot to decieve Mr. T. This time the plot was simple. Me empties a vodka bottle, wash it and fills up with plain water. Idea was to make Mr. T drink water thinking it is vodka and see how he reacts. The ploy starts..

All from nest assembles in a round table..
Dakalti says "Mr. T we are all going to have vodka tonight.."
Mr.T : Why daa..
Dakalti.: Just like that.. bhai told a great news....thats why..
Mr.T : dei bhai eppadi raa irukkae.. enna daa news-su...
Bhai: Onnum illai daa.. Unga kitta ellam oru vishayathai romba naala marachittaen. inniki thaan time vandhu irukku adhai solla...
Meez eats all chicken there meanwhile
Mr.T : Dei meez, chicken kaanadhu daaa...
Meez: ada chee mooditu bhai solradha kelu..
Bhai : Naan 8 varusham-a oru ponna love panraen daa.. nethu thaan avanga veetla ok sonnaanga...
Dakalti (hidingly smiling) : Paaru daa T, namma kitta sollavae illai paarthiyaa bhai..
Bhai : Aaamam daa. ponnu peru sharmila.. singapore-la doctor-a irukkaaa...
Me : (Unable to control laughter.. goyalae.. doctor-a. idhu ellam over daa dei...)
Biddu : dei onakki enna daa.. bhai nee sollu.
Bhai: ellam ippovae sollitaa eppadi.. oru round adipppom..
Meez: first time adikuromae onnum aagadhu illai daa..
Mr. T: kammi-a kudikalam daa meez..
Bhai puts water (Mr. T seeing it as vodka) in every glass and then puts sierra mist...
everyone is ready... takes there cup and say cheers to bhai daa...
dakalti : after having his first sip, enna daa kasakudhu..
Mr. T : dei konjum apdi thaan konjum kaandhum daa.
Me : Enna daa kaandhum kaanadhum.. apdinu....
Biddu: Dey rajan.. indha vodka-ki effect illai...
Rajan: Mavanae iru konjum nerathula kodal ellam vegal pogudhu...
Mr. T : enakku light-a erudhu daa.. mm. mmm... baai nee solludu
Bhai: College-la irundhae palakkam daa.. school-la konjum naal onnaa padichom.
Mr. T : Adapaavi...
Bhai: Veetla permission vaangitu thaan ellar kittayum sollanum-nu nenachom.
Mr.T : Apdinaa Permission vaangi aacha
Bhai : Naayae.. naan enna ingae kadha kalatchebam-a naduthuraen. olunga kelu..
Last week ok sonnanga...
Mr. T: apram ennoda pona vaaramae sollala..
Rajan: idho daa. vandhuttar daa kelviyin naayagan.... iru daa adhukkum bhai edhachum solluvaan.. theo, kelvo ketkuradhu romba easy. badhil solradhu romba kastam..

Meanwhile biddu overacts and pours sierra mist down as if he has got too much bhodai..

everyone.. dei paarthu daa..

Rajan: edho sonnaae.. ippo enna solrae..

Biddu : dei.. poda poda. naan steady-a thaan irukki...

Dakalti : Dei ennanga daa.. onnumae erala..

Mr. T: iru daa.. konjum konjum-a erum...

Rest in Part 2

Nest becomes Smoke Free

Who told nest is all about being together, having fun, good food, lots a music, Volley ball, Cricket, Treats, Dance etc etc...?

It's about keeping Promise, Commitment and Perseverance too!!!!

World, Today August the 30th 2006 is an very important day in our nest life ..
Today completes 21 days of severing an 8 years strong bond of our Bhai with one of his deepest love,

"Dum"

As an old saying ? goes.. If u can control anything for 21 days, You can control that forever in your life!!

We are very proud and happy today to see Bhai overcoming lots a Temptation over this 21 day period to keep his lips away from the deadly love!!

Bhai, No more kissing da!! :)


We know for sure that you wont hold that damn thing forever any more!!

We all are very happy for you and extremely proud of you da machaan !!!

This shows your resilience & perseverance and ofcourse you have kept your promise !! :)

Well done dude!!

You have made your family and your closed ones proud and happy!!

Hats off to you da Machaan!!

One more important note:
Balaji n Shakthi though they don't stay in our nest, they were always one among us the nest.

Balaji is the one who is mainly responsible for this.

We are glad that we got Balaji, Shakthi and now our kutti (Singi) nakshatra in our life.

With Lots a love,

(Smoke Free)Nest

Summer means No Blog...

Sometimes everyone in the nest think whether 24 hrs in a day is even enuf. We seriously dont find it enuf becos of the number of activities that we do during summer. During winter, the nest was busy with many indoor activities.. Now we have lots of outdoor activities.. hence no time to blog guys..

Playing volleyball has been the passion in the nest and the trend continues this summer as well... We also enjoy playing cricket these days.. The number of people joining the games have increased dramatically as well this year..

well.. its been a long time since i blogged something.. reason is purely bcos, i dont get a single minute free these days. whatever free time i have, i am spending talking with my would-be.. :-) so people who visit our blogs are getting utterly disappointed not seeing any new post..

so will try to update more often people... next topic in nestof8 is miami maamas :-) so wait for the release guys n gals...

Subject: Evening plan

Was reading thro my old mails.. found this interesting mail chain. thought i could publish it...

It was one of those days... Mr.T was caught is a ottal wave... this is jus a sample...

Me says:
4 - 4:30 PM Me,Bhai,Daks,Mr T.. To check the car with Mr.X
Meez/Magudi to Hopkins..
And all.. 7 - 9 PM Volleyball

Mr. T says :
In this plan, a key needs to be given to mr.Perfect. He would go to home before us.

Me says :
Mr. T the Key Kapalan. dont worry we devise a plan to give the Key to Mr. perfect..Plan consists of three phase
Let me start first phase of the plan

First lets define wat a key means.Mr.T search the google. Now then analyse mr. perfect's metabolism and his acceptance level. Mr.T find out whether Mr. perfect is in a position to accept anything we give to him today evening..

If yes find out is he ok with a metal which makes sound...then define him that we are going to give him the REAL KEY...

Phase 2 some one please continue...

Meez says :
Phase 2 : Mr.T to jump from fifth floor to ground floor along with the key to find out whether the key given to Mr.Perfect is endurant enuf. In this process if any one his bones break, then the phase 2 fails. If he succeeds without breaking, then Mr.T will walk back to the fifth floor. This is to test the keys endurance. Now to test the key strength, Mr.T will sit inside a big mixer grinder and switch on the mixer. In this process if the key doesn’t crush then that means the key is strong.

Finally before handing over the key, Mr.T will run at 100 mph to home and check whether the key , he is handing over to Mr.Perfect is working. If it works then he will keep open the door and come back to office and give the key. ;-)))))

Yappa, enna oru thinking ;-))

Bhai says :
Yenngada ithu. Adanga maateengala..salary vaangurathukku konjamaavathu velai pannugadaIntha mail padikka vachi yennoda 3 minutes waste panniteenga

Daks says:
Phase 3. Mr T’s gonna smack Me n Meez after that

Mr T says:
Rather than doing this, I will keep the key with myself. If Mr.Perfect wants the key, let him go thru all this phases.. meez & me,Will you guys don’t get sleep without kidding me

drl says: Don’t give up.. Prove that you are TERRIFIC

Lost Paradise

It was a sad day in Nest. Everyone were seen doing something to forget it.. It was a day when everyone in the nest came to know that, the nest's most important person,logic had to go back to india.. unavoidable situation. pogaadhey apdinu manasu solludhu.. aana when it comes out of mouth, it comes as "poittu vaa daa".. didnt know what was happening to everyone..

It was sort of emergency for logic. he had to go. He couldnt stay longer in the nest. two days there was an uneasy feeling in the air. we didnt want to cook. we didnt want to eat etc etc. we were feeling, we were being deprived of our joy.. we felt our unity was broken. we felt someone crashed our nest. but everyone kept it to their heart.. they wished logic all the best.

day came, when logic had to leave next day. little bit of shopping here n there and packaging were all done.for dinner we had our thalai and nothing but girl coming in and cheering rajan and us..we didnt sleep for a long time that night..

Next day, most of us were in the airport.. everyone couldnt control the emotions at that moment when he had to leave.. he checks his baggages in.. chitap gives a big hug and becomes emotional.. as was others.. we all are still looking at him.. he goes for security check... he turns back again and again to see us.. and we arent moving.. we kept waving our hands till the minutest of his image was visible. One could feel the nostalgic feeling that was sorrounding us all.. we felt someone kalaichified our nest... we thought our titanic friend"ship" was sinking

we all came to office and felt some emptiness sorrounding us. we could hear logic's voice in the air.the phone calls reminded him. every mail reminded him.. we all felt the real value of this relationship that day.. it cannot be expressed in words..

now logic is back to the nest. we are one again..

will write the return of the "monster" and arrival of "biddu" in the next blog..

Ma.... Ma.. Magudi

Magudi.. one of important personalities in the nest. personality-nnu solradharku badhil, periya dakalti-nu sollalaam... avvalo periya kedi avan..

M for magudi mattum illai. M stands for mystery as well. yes his life is a mystery and only he knows abt it... avan ethana ponnungalukku application pottaan.. ethanai ponnunga ivanukku application pottaaanga apdinu ellam yosipom... but matter of the fact is magudi romba nallavan.. avan yaarukum application pottadhum illai. avanukku yaarum application pottaadhum illai..

Magudi is a very good person at heart. avan nest-la panra ovvoru matter-um will be different from what others do..

his volley ball serves will be like shane warne balls. u will not know which side it will turn. nalla server.. but enna solla solla ketkaama he will try overarm serves and will end smashing the ball to 494 exit ;-)..

konjum somberi from my view.. friday evening mattum oru kaariyathula erangittaaana avan minjaa yaarum kedayaaadhu. nest-la irukkuravangullu indha line kandippa puriyum..

great to have him as roommate. sonna pecha kettupaaan. will help during cooking very much..

magudi. nee 10 varusham kalichi indha blog-a padichittu, sure u will call me daa..

The Rising of Eight for Mangal Pandey

Mangal Pandey. I didnt know this was going to be one of the movie that is going to remain in our thoughts ever. Because it was the first movie where all eight of us went together out for the first time in US.

I could still remember the anxiety and enthusiasm prevailing in the nest that whole week.. We had been listening to yet another great music of ARR and we were simply enthralled and were waiting to watch the movie.

The night before we went for the movie, (was a thursday), we rehearsed our dance movements for all the songs.. we had a hip hop for Takkae Takkae.. for mangal mangal, it was traditional dance.. hmm yes, we rehearsed atleast till 1.00 in the night.. we were ready to dance in the theatres that day..

Next day started with a little fight among ourselves regarding the travel plans to the theatre. we didnt have our queen that time hence had to rely on some others to come. So logic had to break his head and find the commutation for all eight.. we managed to get ride in three cars finally.

when we reached there, we were amazed to see the crowd there. it was like India frankly.. such a big queue.. we went into the theatre and settled down after 1/2 hr atleast...

Titles were going and our gang roared when we saw AR Rahman on the screen.. the movie started off with a flashback and the movie set a different environment. we couldnt get up and dance.. the crowd was so silent unlikely of an indian crowd.. the movie environment was so different and we couldnt dance at all.. we kept tapping our foot in the thoughts of dance we rehearsed the previous day for all the songs...

It is always a great experience to go to movies with friends. but for nest this movie was so unforgettable..

makkalae, indha blog-a neenga konjum varusham kalichi padicheenga-nna you all should remember the dance we rehearsed for this film especially...

Rally to Volley

Volley. Enakku therinja orae vaali bathroom-la irukkura vaali thaan till last summer. but last summer, it was when i came to know how to play the game of volley.

Yes.. volley was the premier game preferred by all in nest in the summer..

every week, everyday, every evening, every hour we played volleyball during the summer. it was fun to the maximum.. there was small small fights, small small clashes, small small wins which we all enjoyed very much...

We form a team of 4 a side. sometimes it will be 5 per side.. even DRL and Nothing But Butter girl used to join the game of volley. Every rally willbe well appreciated. every drop will be cheered.. every mishit would be taken positively...

Meez was known for his volley. magudi got his name becos of the way he serves.. logic was a great spiker.. Chitap was a great defender... Baai was a great setter.. Mr Perfect was perfect in his drops and Mr.T the greatest player of the entire nest.

Me.. Meez.. magudi.. was a famous team and the way they dance after every win was jus perfect bangra. a dance for every happy moment..

the battle of titans namely 210 vs 211 was ultimate. The dialogue "Though 211 won the series, 210 won the hearts of everyone." was unforgettable.

weekend we go in search of great places and lakes to reliquish our vollying capabilities. we got so addicted to volley that we even played day and night matches when lights wasnt enough.

Mr.T's famous "its not mine" still lingers in all our thought.. his robot like movements will surely impress any top class volley ball players around the world.. ;-) (kodumai thaanga mudiyalaa daa apdinu kaathaadheenga makkalae)

Mr.Perfect even broke his glasses and got a cut on his face during a game.. Though this incident shell shocked the nest, we were back to normal the next day...

Baai almost played with one leg for sometimes initially..

so many unforgettable moments. such a beautiful time in our lives.. we are so thankful to god for giving us such a nice time..

One blog isnt enuf to tell all the fun.. this is just a start.. i am sure more blogs are to come regarding volley...

Unrest in the Nest

"Hey dear..u r simply irresstible..hmm..been watching you everyday...dont know your name..but you looked damn attractive in the "NewYork" T -Shirt..hmm..hmmm..ok..i feel like doing it with you....u have seen me many times..lets do it..but before that i want to know something abt u..can u email me few lines about u to lovergirl@mylove.com and i swear i wont change my mind reading the email..waiting for u r email darling"...

Mr Meez kept the handset after hearing this voice message..slithered on to the couch..his mind rapidly instantiated casts and started the trial
"Is that me "..
"Nayyyy boss.."
"Y cant ..i always wear that T-Shirt always.. and smart in the group".."cha cha ilaa"...
"illa da ni than mail pannu common".....

And before even Meez could finish the mind trial...he heard a loud terrible noise...

"Aasaya kathula thothu vitu..ching chakku chakku ching....."
...Mr Chittappa arrived in.."Hey Meez mama...Coffe podra..."...went straight to the handset..and checked for voice message..and chitappa was..

"dai yara ithu Meezzuu..." and looked back Meez was not there..
then Chitappa ran changed in to his favourite costume...the ultimate single piece (towel)...u wont believe ppl admire him in that costume...

and chitapa barged into the bathroom and was in full thought about lover girl...

"Yeah eppadara irukaaaa.."came in Mr.T...went to the receiver..and heard the voice message...Mr.T started to sweat...Mr.T strongly believed the message is for him only..and thought for a moment

"Can i do it.."
"Is this right..do i need to consult this with offshore.." and he was in deep confusion as he will always, but this message is too much more than his confusion quotient.He sat in the sofa...

"Dai its weekend folks..." breaked in a voice..its from another interesting character in the NEST..Mr.Bhai....saw Mr.T in the sofa..he was all blurred..he was looking as if he failed in his task of making a sad monkey happy....and Mr.Bhai took the receiver and heard the message..

Thud...

Huge noise Bhai turned and he saw yet another downfall of Mr.T from the swinging sofa..but his time Bhai did not giggle..this doesnt mean that he is used to Mr.T's downfall..its the message that disturbed him...he went in silently..but in deep of his mind he started to compose the email...

"kadlinakara ponaorai kanna ponninum ponara"..smell of kerala...Mr.Perfect....after a real hard days work he entered i. ..Mr.Meez said to Perfect..."u look good with u r mush..".."thanx"..Mr.Perfects all time passsion was to build loads and loads of interfaces to his client...
he went and picked up the handset..heard the message..and said "ppl i going to sleep"..he went in and started to compose the email...he did not sleep this time..and he started to build an interface between him and the lover girl..

Ppl heard huge foot steps noise...Its Mr.Magudi..came in directly went to the phone and checked for the voice message..heard it some 18 times repeatedly..and then thought he would delete it so that no one will hear..and DELETED it....You may think he is cunning..but he is not..he is innocently cunning..now he dont know wat to do
"go to gym..".."go to car drive practice"..."type the email"...Magudi a character who had always known his priority in life..choose to compose the email..

Everyone was sitin in the hall..and Mr.Chittapa started playing the Keyboard..there was full romance numbers going on..

then Mr.Bhai said "dai Where is Mr.biddu.." oh man they forgot Mr bidu...they called all the known numbers to trace him..nope was the reply...
They marched to office and searched everywhere and started worrying
Then Mr.Perfect heard a door being banged with full force..and opened and found Biddu in there..he got in trapped there..but no one knew y he went in there..
They returned home..

Had dinner..there was an unusual silence that night...every one in full thought of the lovergirl..

Biddu was all confused..y ppl turned barbaric..

Phone rang...everyone rushed at the same time to pick it up..every one stopped near it and looked in to each others face..
tring..tring..tring.. it was ringing...

Magudi wisely said "ok no quarrels lets put it in speaker.."
and the group unanimously accpeted this coruscating thought...of all Mr.T nooded heavily..Mr.Bhai said.."It should be for me dudes.."
And Meez already started to dream...

and chittapa pushed the speaker button..

"Hello.." said he...

"Hello.." replied the machine but in sweet female tone...and they could sense the sexual desire she had...she was desperate to do it...

"ya .." said chittapa..

"Can i ...haann..can i...speak to smarty Biddu..."

"Yes but...Who is this.."..rushed in Biddu...

"Lovergirl" was the reply...

There was a Dead silence in the group...and suddenly Magudi started to thump Mr.T and ..

the nest was full of Chaos and Unrest....

To be continued...

On road Queen

They grew to eight one day.All were college mates.

The westernized culture,a multiplying factor of 43.96 and the best deals you get backhome when you get into matrimonial fundaes.Such things attract people to "The Land of Dreams".
To attain something you gotto sacrifce few things.You gotto miss your loved ones..delicious foods..face worst climates...sometimes you feel you are pushed into a alienated evil world...

But the almighty decided to exempt eight.

Yes They started to feel the kinship beyond friendship.Lots and lots of fun frolic they had.And here i am gonna narrate about a part in their huge merry mirthful episode.

An important phase - The arrival of the Queen.

Their Queen She is beautiful..made their life very interesting..every one of them had a crush over her.Every one wanted to ride her.Ohhhhhh ppl dont get in to random conclusions at this point..let me break the suspence..

She is their Nissan Quest - 7 seater mini van.

They felt a 7 seater will keep them united while they are going places.So they decided to get her home.She was in and that day was filled with joy in their nest.Eventhough no one knows to ride her.Everyone showed their Queen snaps to their loved one back home.

Slowly one by one they started getting their license to drive her on road officially.
Its their Queen that filled their weekends with events.

Everytime they decide to go out.A driver is elected.Lots of criteria/norms needs to be adhered for that days drivers.They pack themselves inside and way they go.
Its the mighty IPOD that transmits their all time favourite numbers and with full volume they rock the 35W's and 494's.
Random change of songs tempts the driver to go over the speed limit.And suddenly ppl starts delivering comments on the driving talents and skills the driver has..full free advice starts to flow...the driver person gets annoyed and its the fun for the rest of the seven.

Everyday their life starts with taking out the Queen from the garage and ends with sqeezing it back.

The queen which become part and parcel of their life stands majestic whereever they go.It made their life cozy and heaven.

They were able to go to church's regularly.Taking bath was also immaterial when it comes to a ride to church on then queen.It took them to mosques.
They rode to movies which are defenelty unforgettable moments in their life.
Rode to lakes and had lots of fun.queen stood firm when they needed on any emergency.

You wont believe someone of the group got their hand locked in the Queens door.It never hurt...Yes..Queen started loving them back and never failed on its duty...

They felt proud to have her in their nest..Hats off Nissan queen...Let her live long with them..
