The thread'CURRENT DAY MUSIC and music 50 or 60 years ago has started to become too dangerous and likely to explode any time by human bombers. I thought I could inject some humour . pl continue giving titles to me, even funnier ones. Thanks to mridangam. cm lover , the invaluable contributors to hilarity along with erode nagaraj GOBILALITHA

GBL,
Without your starting this thirty nine page long (and still growing) thread, we wouldn't have had so much laughter. We wouldn't have discovered the comic genius of our sogasugA mrudangam VAsippavargal. VAh! sirikka vaippavargaL. So your title should be: the supreme guide to hilarity--the one who promotes laughter on the forum. We don't have enough of it here--particularly when threads explode with agitated emotions, as you point out. HAsya kartA, hAsya rasika sirOmaNi?

Yesterday i was going to Bigbazaar to purchase fruits and vegetables. After picking up a few vegetables i wanted the attender man to check the weight and barcode the price. He called a person's name and asked him to do the job. To my surprise his name was Velu (weigh-lu).

Two friends attended a kutcheri. one of them knows nothing about carnatic music or kutcheri procedure. He was sitting restlessly, he asked the other friend 'when will the kutcheri end.? After the tani,some tukkadas and mangalam, replied the friend. the friend asked ' why can't they do it in the beginning itself? gobilalitha

VK RAMAN · Post by **VK RAMAN** » 15 Feb 2010, 22:53

Those who are addicted to cafeteria food will miss their idli vada and other greassy food items if the tani, tukkadas and mangalam are done in the beginning itself - no we cannot do that

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 16 Feb 2010, 00:01

Instead if the concert pattern is changed accordingly, then cafeterias should serve lots of paayaasam/jilebi/mysorepak/...and all sorts of sweet goodies so that the confirmed diabetics overloaded with sugar will comeback to sleep off for the rest of the concert. Problem is only when they all start snoring in disharmony

The advantage then is that the vidwan then can blame them for being off shruti

In the same way a person got stuck in the last compartment of a train and was travelling from Jammu to Chennai. The journey takes nearly abt 3 days and in almost all the stations the last compartment was out of the station itself by which he couldnt buy anything for himself to eat .. so for two days he starved and after reaching chennai he was in his height of anger and straightaway went to the station master's room and asked for a complaint book and wrote for about 3 pages all the ordeals that he encountered during the journey. Finally he made a suggestion to the railway department : "I advise that there should be no last compartment in the train .. Even if there is a last compartment that should either be in the middle or in the beginning".

...by the same token 'mangaLam' should be at the beginning or middle. But let it not be that there is no mangaLam!
On the other hand concerts can be concluded with our National Anthem! Has anybody done that?

VK RAMAN · Post by **VK RAMAN** » 17 Feb 2010, 20:35

In one of the bhajans by North Indians, they ended the bhajan with National Anthem just two weeks ago

though i have not seen or heard about concluding with national anthem , i have seen TVS conclude with " vAzhiya senthamizh ...vandE mAtharam "

I have heard of Somu ending with vAzhiya senthamizh too!
It must have taken place at Tamil Isai Sangam on a few occasions.
If some one ends with NA at MA that will be an epoch making event!

Once a friend attended a friend's kutcheri. After the kutcheri bhagavathar asked the friend about his performance. The friend said I was reminded of GNB , Bhagavathar was in cloud nine and asked the friend which raaga he liked best of all. The friend replied' that he liked the mannerism of taking snuff from the small silver box and sniffing it GOBILALITHA

That is TRUE. There is a saying, "kaaNaamal kONaamal kaNdu kodu; pOgudhu paar aadu, pogudhu"

aadu symbolises mandha budhdhi.

When the argyam and gAyathri japam is done

1) kaaNaamal - before sunrise,
2)kONaamal - when it is in the center of sky - uchchi veyyil and
3)kaNdu - before sunset, that aadu vanishes.

when aadu goes(kettaa), you can understand erodu...

In one of the bhajans, medu vadai was served; a young boy asked why there is a hole in the middle of the vadai. Can some one answer?

sridhar_ranga · Post by **sridhar_ranga** » 01 Mar 2010, 21:23

Wiki Answer: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_do_donuts_have_holes

I guess the same holds true for a medu vadai: (a) it cooks more evenly with a hole (b) the hole lets you make more vadais with the same amount of batter

Philosophically speaking, the hole may indicate that all that has a physical form in the end is reduced to nothing

) - and all physical matter came from nothing!

VK RAMAN · Post by **VK RAMAN** » 02 Mar 2010, 00:15

If the comparison between donut and medu vadai holds good, which one came first; donut or medu vadai

VKR, At first, I thought your latest question was 'Which one came first, the donut or the hole' !! Donut shops actually sell the stuff that occupied the hole as donut holes... quite a funny name for it. Along those lines we should sell Vadai Ottai !! In our household they used to make such small balls made of vadai batter. I forgot the name for it. I always liked them.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 03 Mar 2010, 10:11

VK,
You mean munchkins? With the punched out shape of the traditional vaDai, dough 'nuts' made of dough look like nuts (which go with bolts). In taminlish, punch (ed) vaDai is one way to describe them. A confession on my part here: since I am not good at shaping them, I always make them round (uLundu bONDA) and they taste just as nice, I'm told --the same with tayir vaDai as well. I have not come across your mini munchkins in vaDais--so, no idea about their name. Shyama-priya (the food expert among other things) to the rescue! A break too for her from discussing serious stuff in the lounge. A vaDai break. punched or not for her

If the discussion in the lounge gets so intense that it may come to blows (punches) ...
To have a punched vaDai break is better than getting punched

sridhar_ranga · Post by **sridhar_ranga** » 03 Mar 2010, 12:51

VK is probably referring to kunukku, the delicious small deep fried balls made of aDai batter (not Vadai batter!).

vasanthakokilam · Post by **vasanthakokilam** » 03 Mar 2010, 13:03

YES, sridhar_rang... that is the one. I forgot those mini-munchkins were made of aDai batter. Thanks.

Arasi, yes those munchkins, they are referred to as donut holes around here.. not sure if it is regional usage or not. Quite a funny reference to call them 'holes'. Whenever I see that, it reminds me of 'holes' in semiconductor theory.. computers are full of holes!! or munchkins

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 03 Mar 2010, 16:35

sridhar_rang,
Ah, kuNukkus! they come from vaDai and aDai batter, also the slightly sweetened with brown sugar version.which were made around kArtikai.

VK,
You scientists amuse me. While the whole donuts get 'punched' by machines of course, the center bit falls out and that's how munchkins are born. vaDai holes are made by hand and when dropped in hot oil, they retain the hole shape and there is no residue like a punched out munchkin. As for the mid western expression 'holes', it really means the resultant residue when a whole is punched in a doughnut!
When a hole is punched in a whole doughnut, what you munch on is a tiny guilt free (?) snack and more money in the maker's pocket.
Like 'pumpkin' (is that why the munchy got the kin suffix?), munchkin is an endearing term for little kids.

I am reminded of a joke in some tamzih magazine I read; it was during the time when the hoteliers raised the price of the items; but one hotel owner retained the price the same ,but reduced the size of the items.When a customer complained that 'vaDais' are smaller in size, he retorted 'but the OTTais are bigger'.
