Saara Paambu polla nenju satham poduthey!!

Wheeee!! My first ever post on my first ever blog!!! Today is indeed a special day!! Oct 20th !! Intha naal unoda calendar le kurichi vechiko!!> So since its the first time I'm officially blogging , some thought ( not a lot though) went into what it should be about! Since yesterday was one of my better days, ( A good day for a soil microbial ecologist is when he/she gets good data all neatly organized.) I thought I should write about it. Also I managed to be productive while watching a movie on you tube ( which is a first) , and that made me feel like patting myself on the back!Don't you just love multi-tasking!!! Looks like yesterday and today are the days of a lot firsts in my life!! I also ran 3 miles yesterday . Now to understand why that is a huge accomplishment in my life you need to know that I was no athlete ( Forget athletic , I was not even active) in school. I loved food and liked nothing better than to curl up in a corner with a good book. ( Do the math!) So its still hard for me to believe that I have it in me and am actually capable of doing things like going running, and running 3 whole miles at that! And the songs that kept me company while being engaged in the above said activity were, " Gurl you're my chammak challoo.... ooh ooh oh!!" from < need I say it> Ra one, and "Sara sara saara kaathu veesum pothu , saara paarthu pesum pothu , saara paambu polla nenju satham poduthey." from Vaagai sooda vaa !! Chamaku challo is of course all flash and sparkle and amazingly catchy beats. It is definitely the song to party to ....... but the other song is so sweet,so soft, as refreshing and unassumingly wonderful as the "saara kaathu" it speaks of .........the complete antithesis to chamaku challo. Right now , they both compete equally for my attention , but the song which will become a part of me and makes me heart sound like the " saara paambu" is without a doubt the latter song!! I sometimes wonder if the same parallel can be drawn with the way we interact and eventually bond with people. In my case , I certainly can. Its bye for now till I feel the urge to write again . I'll let this song keep you company till then...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxjvz-WGhaE&feature=related
