Conversations amidst peers and family members is a real entertainment ,where you don't have to adhere to any grammar, there is no need for you to use refined words, no need to be conscious of what you think and what you say, and watching or listening to these conversations are real time pass.
Some times i used to travel by train and the journey time would be around 2 hours, being on the train occasionally I used to never have any common friends or accompanies to spend this two hours chatting till you reach the destination.So one way of spending time would be to drown myself into a book and forget about the environment, but how long can you do this,so the other way is to silently listen to the various conversations happening round you.This is the time that I found out that each person useS different forms of narration and each one of us are unconsciously capable of showing a hundred expressions, I was astonished to see those sharp eye ball movements and facial expressions which i had presumed is the proprietary of artist only.
Well WHEN the conversations keeps flowing we do use certain phrases and slang's to imply our point indirectly, just to cite a few some commonly used phrases in tamil" engappan kuthiru ulla illa"(where the father wants to escape from his nagging debtors so hides himself into an urn directing his son to wade away any one coming in search of him by saying his Dad is not at home.
instead the boy says my dad is not in the urn,which gives a easy tip for the debtors to snatch his father.
Yet another one" Vaalu pooey katti vanthadu doom doom doom," too bid a story to produce here but a very interesting one,just to emphasis that one incident leads into another.
well have you ever heard people saying this phrase Periya erumai paer pona kadthai .
Well i wanted to give you a brief about this, hence did not dwell upon the previous interesting story of doom doom doom, where it was a monkey involved story ,while here you have different characters including a big buffalo(periya erumai).
Once upon a time there lived a family of four persons, A father, mother, son and daughter in law.
The son who is the bread winner often sets off to outstations in search of money and wealth ,His wife the daughter in law,who has to bear the brunt has to suffer long days of loneliness,befriends a neighbour and starts developing a friendship with him and its routine for them to spend time together in the backyard,once everyone retire to sleep,where the cattle owned by them including a Buffalo was roped in.On one such day, after a long chat with her boyfriend the lady(wife) was about to bid goodnight and bye to her boy friend,that is when she noticed that the Buffalo that was tied was shaking its head this way and that way just to keep away the flies and mosquitoes, but the Lady who was filled with guilt misunderstood that the buffalo was threatening her and was indicating that it would inform her husband,about her illicit affair.Propelled with fear she when t to the buffalo and held its head in her two hands arresting its movement, pleading not to tell her husband about her relationship with the other man. Hours passed by and the lady kept sitting holding the head of the buffalo repeating again and again,please do not utter any thing what ever you saw to my husband.
Mean while the mother in law who stirred in her sleep fond that her daughter in law was not found in the house,guessing that she might gave gone to the backyard for natures call she came to the backyard in search of her only to see her. holding the buffaloes head and sitting there worried the mother in law asked her what happened.?The daughter in law confided that she has a boy friend and the buffalo had seen it and was now,threatening to expose her and hence she was.holding its head and pleading.The mother in law was worried,that her sons Honour was at stake and she never wanted that to happen,so she went and held the front legs of the buffalo pleading please,please don't tell any one what you have seen.
Now it was the turn of the father in law to come in search of the two missing persons his wife and daughter in law and found them both glued to the buffalo,the father enquired his wife about what was the matter,and his wife whispered the issues.The father too was worried about how his son would get upset if he comes to know about the whole issues and wanted to avoid the fiasco hence went behind the buffalo and held its hing legs with a similar plea please don't say any thing. how long or how many days these people sat like this is not known.
The son returned home with his booty but found he was not welcomed by his wife nor parents and the house was empty,so he came to the back yard in search of them and found all three around the buffalo. And on enquiry found out what was the matter. He too wanted to safeguard his wife's honour so wanted to plead to the buffalo to maintain the secret.Since all other moving parts such as head and legs are already taken care of by his family members the only part left was the swaying tail which the Son got hold of.
We all know that animals are sensitive regarding certain parts of the body the buffalo which was already stressed by this attack could'nt. tolerate any further harassment, hence with all its force twarthed the rope and started fleeing, and the helpless family started following the animal yelling please do not say anything to anyone the animal felt that these people were chasing it to inflict more harm and started galloping among the streets creating panic to every one and the news reached the kings ears about a family chasing a buffalo and the buffalo going out of control.
So the king summoned the family to find out what was irking both the animal and the persons, with no further option the family elaborated what had happened,the king sighed relief and said he will make it public that the lady had not committed any wrong so he called the official communicators(drummers) and asked them to go through the entire village making this announcement as follows:
This is for the attention of every one .Wife of so and so has no illicit affair with xxx, this was not seen by the buffalo(peryia erumai).The buffalo did not say that it will expose the lady,the lady too did not plead with the animal by holding its head. this issue is not known to her . in-laws nor the husband suspects his wife and the whole family did not run behind the buffalo fearing that it would spill the bean.
With this the entire matter was hushed with the news spreading in detail about the illegal relationship what she had.But the entire family was not aware that it was their foolishness which had paved way for the publicity ,instead still blamed the innocent buffalo for the fall out .hence when you are a victim of circumstances just like the buffalo "periya erumai paer poona madiri."well there are very interesting stories like this which we use in our daily conversations to convey what we want to with a punch
