it goes like : 'njaan vendaa vendaannu vekkumbo, nee thalel keri njerangunno??'

used when someone's taking advantage of the fact that you are being tolerant towards them.

roopa: You do snot when you laugh? I think I like you already. Thumba thyanks ri :)

therapy: thanks!

usha: Vat it is? "Enikku venda, vendannu vecha thaleyi keri chaaduvaano?" Not familiar. Kindly to explains.

Hey, 1 nos. fan (the screaming and fainting variety, not crompton greaves, with or without lamp hanging off centre) reporting for duty. Super super stuff you write I say. will keep checking back. (That naayi biscuit item in the grocery list scribbled on master plan for underpass had me snorting so hard that stuff shot outta my nose - no one but Dave Barry has had the honour before this!) --- iti nimma doDD fyaanu (kannadadalli hange bariyodree fan-na)

siri: Next is heavy security to prevent people from killing me when they see me in public :P

pri: Heh reg Saroja Devi. I think I vaguely know that grandson. Dont know who coined 'Yaar nin chair alladsiru' (Who moved your chair), but I definitely know that it was the origin of the famous (and pukey) book on corporate vision called 'Who moved my Cheese' by whatsizname :P

playbyrules: Thanks!

nigel: Ah ok. That makes 'A' lot of sense. :)

lilith: Waah waah muy channagith tumhari vasanam :)

preeti(....) : Thanks :)

narendra: Haha good ones!

anoushka: What no radish? No sev in the dahi either? :)

Now I know why my '30 days-il Telugu' book was such a dead loss! Penned by a nutter, minus nifty photoshoppy pix.

2008-02-25T06:30:00.000-08:00

this is a take off on what narendra shenoy wrote: to make curds of brains is a gujju/parsi idiom too and it is used thusly: bheja nu dahi na kar (said to someone who is chewing brains)

and heres another gujju/parsism: dont stir raddish in buttermilk. used as 'chhas ma mulo na dove' which translates into dont committ gaffes in speaking.

welcome nigel: nice to see biker dude's fan club spreading northwards.

2008-02-25T04:34:00.000-08:00

This reminds me of an old cuss phrase the bongs used back in college - "one pie father mother". They used to say this in english for our benefit.

Another one is "Why you are making curds of my brain, man?" ( Dimag ka dahi kaheko karta hai ba?)

As usual, incontinence was the problem.

talking about saroja devi i was once on a blind date with this boy who claimed to be her grandson and i was so close to making an inappropriate joke because of course i didn't believe the fool. turns out he wasn't kidding. true story.

also any idea where this "yaar nin chair na alladsidru" line originated from?
