SISTER ACT –TIMELESS
Ever wondered what it is that most ‘young’ girls have in common with their male counter parts??....well..ahem…what I was getting to was the typical “have –fun-no-matter-what” kinda attitude!
And I guess my sister (older-3 years) is like the epitome of this kinda mindset! Man her versatility runs miles, from remixing lovely songs making then all the more “enjoyable”- to associating every human emotion to a musical piece; from commenting on every human she spots anywhere- to sporting the wildest (trust me ppl-WILDESSSST) facial expressions ever; from changing her laughter tune every week- to producing music from a sneeze or a cough!!!; from mouthing the mostest bizarrest expletives- to playing the perfect victim before even I decide how to hit her!;from being an excellent biker( hyderabadi traffic mein bhi she is zimbly zupper!)- to being the world’s noisiest and clumsiest typist; from playing the protective older sista- to the shaaNi 21 yr old!; from associating my laughter to the word “concoction”( even I wonder why!)- to having a dude to check out, on every floor of our maha apartment (and in the neighbouring ones as well!); from coming up with really really bitchy comments- to her prompt, truncated chants in front of god; from her invincible perfection at instantly irritating me- to her talent at searching for things that are right under her nose!; from her unforgivable art of ruining my clothes (most times, at least)- to her mélange of different
Languages to speak exactly what it is that is on her mind!.....
But what beats it all, is her angreji!man !i mean the angreji that she uses to “communicate” with me! Will help you out further…read on..
• See…no matter how many cuss words we use,it all comes in a very decent package .that is even if we make acronyms in English for cussing in telugu!
for example:
Nee P.K.( wow! sounds much better!)
Neeeeee……( and withdraw in submission!)
Nee B yEn kaadhu??(Ahem…sorry YD!)
• Then comes our description of “types” of things…
for example:
(for exciting or interesting things)
Katti types
Mast types
Sakkath types(a kannada word in the like sense)
Bomb types
(for disgusting or pissing things)
Nee yabba types
Dokku types
Dabba types
Naa bon*** types
Sutti type
Was(h)te types
• And then few of her most commonly used sentences that never fail to amuse me:
“Put me some curry no!!!”
“Mast it’ll be no??”
“Look at that girl, girl!!!”
“That much scene is not there lEmmaa!!!!”
“Off off the fan please!”
“Abba chaa!!I didn’t know lEmmaa!!!”
“Why girl you’ll tell like that??!!??”
(with such a disappointed and injured tone)
“You can do like thissaaaaa??”
( and this one comes every time she discovers her potential in making yet another hilllarious expression on her Capricorn face!)
• The best one was her instant tamil accent that popped up the other day!It was like this:
“ Aaageeee riiiight meeeein zarrra yek minit rokiyee Moin!”
( She was actually trying to direct our driver (who hasn’t been sacked out in 2months!!record time..the others don’t last a week !thanks to mom!) to stop in front of some store!And that too in such a thick Tamilian accent, it was so painfully hilarious that even our usually poker-faced chauffer had to smile ear-to-ear!
• And this time when she had to enlighten me about this new factoid about Hyderabad that she had learnt (from god-knows-where!).She went:
“You know- during the British rule- the whole of secunderabad- and mehdipatnam- was basically used- for military purposes only.”
(The whole fun was in her tone man!!!She reminded me so much of the funny funny news reader on Sun T.V., called Nirmala, who is popular for her incredibly weird way of saying “vannakkum”!)
But what makes her the “single piece” in the whole wide world is her unbeatable skill at classifying ‘guys’.We can be such bitches at times!But that’s the whole fun part of our life, for heavens sakes!So everytime we are out on out dokku bandi(our loyal kinetic Honda for 6 years!), royally ghooming around the hyderabadi streets, “checking out” people and places, this is how it goes. The two innocent partners in crime actually classify guys this way.A guy is:
EITHER OR
Dude Dud
Hunk Junk
Ooooh!! Booo!!
Yumm! Yuck!
Yo! Wow! No!
Our bitching is endless!!But the rest are restricted only to the two of us! So…If you are already wondering what kind of insane damsels we are! Brace up! There is more to this pandemonium! Mon, daddu and the two freakstars! Presenting to you the “Mental Family”!!Seriously, coz at times our house is nothing (really in no way) less than a super specialty asylum! One loony bin! Dad’s discourses on how disgracefully undisciplined his invaluable girls are;Mom’s unshakable interest in telling everything, from what happened at exactly 7.13 that morning to how the neighbour aunty ignored her concerned smile, to her sister(my ammi); vids’ above mentioned terrible (ab)normalcy; all the stupidly amusing things I have to say every time pakkinti Madhuri and Alekhya (two Scorpio sisters aged 5 & 3) come home to ask for some thinthapandhu or rondhu- moodhu tamaathaalu (yep! tomatoes it is!)
Swetha was home for a night stay some time back and she knows now what exactly we mean when we call ourselves the “mental family”! And that too when we had to rub off our otherwise “normal” behaviour patterns to adopt a rather refined insanity!!! Man! But I guess it is this shambolic discipline of life that keeps us going!hmm…while vids is all set to poof off to the U.S. for “further studies”, the rest of us will, in no way, let that affect our insanity!But im wondering if our crazy gaadi will pull on without its enjin!I hope she makes our Khandaan proud by spreading the seeds of mental disorder wherever she goes!Amen!

welcome to the real world!
wats so "real world"ly about this??do u mean u hav ppl like that as well on yo planet??which is the real world again??:-)...kiddin!but seriously...which real world man?
exactly my point! what is 'real'? from the perspective of some super-intelligent being on some planet, this eccentricity may be an indication of intelligence... logic and rationality is defined only by humans as a measure of intelligence.
Anyways, all genius people were eccentrics... wonder if intelligence and weirdness go hand in hand...
excellent post... see, the more you write these, the more i can relate to my kind of world...!
and dont take the whole credit yourself, in my family circles, i can describe scores of such characters... bwuhuhhahaha ...
ok... for example:
one of my uncles who never forgets to pull his hair (not symbolically amma, really! he pulls out at least a tuft or two) whenever he is frustrated... like when the isthree guy doesnt return his banians on time...
thanks Divya for your comments on my posts... some of them i saw later only...!
yea... i know..infact i myself am so so happy my sister doesn't blog...i can definitely imagine the kind of outrageous things she'll hav to post abt her "only" sister!may be its universal human syndrome-such "typical" traits!
