English
Hi arun!!!welcome home .How are you...???Questioned Kumarji.
Kumarji is a retired English teacher.
Hey arun take your seat and I shall bring u a cup of curd-milk. Ranga is on his way and we shall start the proceedings once he is home.
I sat on that leather couch and felt very comfortable. That room was quite big and it had all the luxurious furnitures fitted along with a good AC.I felt quite comfortable sitting in that AC room.
Take this arun..Kumar returned with a cup of cold curd-milk. Do u like it arun??He continued without waiting for my response,Curd-Milk is the best drink to have in a summer season..Poor youngsters of nowadays like u don't realize this and stick with American drinks like cola..But u know what??Ranga realizes all this and he always prefers Curd milk above such colas..
It's all because of the environment arun,The education system is not good and it does not teach the students to think on their own. Take a look at this Tamil cinema..A hero does all such crazy things like a super man and all our young boys try to emulate this. No one is trying to use this medium to teach people.
To Teach them about good virtues,
To Teach them about various cultures
And to teach them about new things which they don't know.
Instead they they stick with this bloody Love and SEX. Thats`y I have always advised Ranga to watch English movies like I have been doing for the past 30 years..You know what,Tamil is not a language suitable for expressing Science and technology,,But in English you can express anything easily..That's why I prefer English..
I looked at my watch..30 minutes had elapsed since I reached ranga`s home. Kumarji was speaking to me without any breaks..Thank god Ranga arrived..He greeted me with a warm smile. A close friend from my school days. His mother died last year and Ranga has equipped the house with all the things which would steer out the loneliness kumarji would feel.
Rangu!! how was the day man..??every thing okay..???Go grab that UPMA in that oven along with that juicy tomato chutney in the refrigerator and return quickly,Arun is waiting for u..
Ranga returned after having his dinner. He looked fresh in that new 4 MOZHAM veshti.
Dad shall I start dad??Yes Rangu..quick.its already 10 and it would be 12 when we finish.
Ranga plugged the pen-drive to the Sony dvd-player and switched on his home theater system and switched off the room lamps..The movie started playing It was titled as
THE USUAL SUSPECTS .
A very good thriller arun. I have always wanted to watch this...Look out for the cinematography,,He got academy award for his work.
The film started rolling and I honestly was not able to pick up the native American accent..thought of asking for a Subtitle but then stopped thinking about it..Suddenly Kumarji picked up the remote and PAUSED the movie..
Rengu..Load the English subtitles and play the movie from the beginning.
