Kalyanam Updates and Discussions Jun 29 - Jul 3 (Page 2)

thanks nitya...
well i agree wid u bon..didnt like the way parthi behaved wid anandhi...y cant he show the same irritation wid hema in tat case..

guess suja wants to postpone the marriage for the time being..suja is mad..how can u read someone's letter..

I agree with Bon about the lack of etiquette in our TV characters, and I am afraid our older and younger generations are absorbing all this after watching these shows.  I have been lamenting about this for quite some time now, esp when you see the lead characters happily going through other people's stuff and eavesdropping shamelessly.  As far as Parthi is concerned, I do not wish to talk about philandering husbands.  I have absolutely no sympathy for such characters, and this is one reason why I am not watching this show, just reading the updates.

Incidentally, using "foreign" as a noun is common in India!  The usual remark is "Avar foreignkku poga poraar or ponaar and so on" or "foreignle irundhu vangi vandhaar", as if there is a place called "foreign".  But this is a little better than in the North, where it is called "phoren"!  In three years of watching SunTV serials, I have come to the conclusion that many words are multi-purpose in nature, they are nouns, verbs, adjectives, whatever, e.g., conscious (conscious vandhaachu!), tension (romba tension aagadhe!), so the only thing to do is to safely forget all the rules of English grammar while watching.  Better yet, you can do what I do sometimes, mute the TV and just watch their saris and jewelry!  Sometimes, even that seems like a punishment esp when they make the men wear embroidered shirts in pink, or the women wear some atrocious saris and hairdos.

Eljay, inda serial-la saris ellam rombo sumar-than!

Eljay avanga "drungen driving" panni kittu avanga "dooty"
ai paarppanga - we either forget English or overlook all this.
If Bharathiyar or Tiruvalluvar were alive, they might consider suicide
for the Tamizh in these serials . On the other hand Merriam- Webster
might employ these people for coining new words out of
existing archaic English

Thanks Nithya ... Suja has done one good thing by making Gaya take those tests ... Parthi yai purinchukkave mudiyala paa ... Whom he likes actually Hema / Anandhi ???

Eljay, I had a hearty good laugh when I read the NorthIndian pronounciation....Phoren. I come across it in my day to day life.

Roja I share your views on Tamizh usage & pronounciation in our Tamizh serials. Surely Barathiyar & Thiruvalluvar must be turning in their grave.

Thanks Nithya .

Sick serial.

Thanks Nithya - so now Elango knows that he can not hold Gaya
responsible !!! Parthiiiii uh huh
