F..F..F..Fearr
Your look is the alien from Koi Mil Gaya
Your body is a 90s Tam heroine
You do yes or do no
You are a Mallu Christian
(Heh. The rants don’t seem so bad now, do they?)
Update: For many more creative multi-lingual cryptic clues, please to see the commentspace of this post. Or catch them compiled together here. But remember — have some hair-regeneration product ready first.
Are mindblowing…
So, are you giving me clues for casting in our film? I am on it, madam… Will send you photographs soon for initial screening.
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 6:24 PM
Wow…! Hell hath no fury…like Megha scorned! :)
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 7:26 PM
[Fleiger] Pliss to send photos first. We will think of short-list by then. Am unable to decide if a fresh new face is better or a familiar bankable one will do the trick.
[qs.gemini] Er? Scorned? You missed the song completely, it seems! Tsk tsk.
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 7:50 PM
Sure… I just recruited Jaadoo as my casting agent. Will pass on the photos as he sends.
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 8:12 PM
Sam today nay people have understood…
NASA , MJ … they are a lady.
(Doan blame me, she started it).

Icy settee horse, gee, saw never anywheres
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 8:30 PM
AAAAAAHHHHH! Too much. Mmmmmmmeghaa!
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 8:45 PM
:( Obviously, I did… now I am one of those who you have to explain the jokes to…pathetic! :((
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 9:26 PM
[Fleiger] Ah cool! Just make sure he doesn’t do the weird one-finger-lighting-up type stuff during auditions?
[UnLeashed] Aayiye aayiye, aap hi ka intezaar thha .. :)
So first .. samajhne waale samajh gaye, na samjhe vo anaari hain. (Didn’t you already mutilate this song in the past?) And please. Just because you have a thing for Shahrukh doesn’t mean you have to pick aisi deewaangee dekhi nahin kahin with King Khan twirling ike a ballerina while a wide-eyed DBharati looks on adoringly, do you?
[anantha] Ayyo? What happened? *looks around innocently*
[qs.gemini] Pathetic only. It is a song translation, baba. Try try :)
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 10:06 PM
Don’t worry… I will tell him to get good natured martian models for the role. And will make sure he tells them not to bite the hero ;) (Now decipher that…)
Monday, September 18, 2006 @ 10:49 PM
Oh just our suffer, one Sara waitings
Sun sad comings, is giving man zeal of loves.
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 @ 12:52 AM
[Fleiger] Not to bite hero? Um? Explain?
[Kiski Tea] Ae mere humsafar, ik zara intezaar
sun sadaayen de rahin hain, manzil pyaar ki
You insult us terribly. Tsk tsk.
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 @ 1:02 AM
LOL!

(blame our teachers for blessing us with negative IQ)
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 @ 5:27 AM
Think in context of your song… That’s all the hint you need. (And maybe a bit of marathi)
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 @ 7:57 AM
Yay…got it! phew…what I didn’t know was that she is a tam heroine…!!!! :D Good one, indeed… and phew again! :D
You are great…mmmmmmmegha! :)

Urs is t one blog where i went up and read t archives as well (ur fascinaton with chiru had me chortling so hard t neighbours got scared!) . n i even read up t comments in t archives (which i also an indicator to how little work i have been having these few days). mega-amazing this..(now i m gushing so i stop!)
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 9:15 AM
[perspective inc] Hee hee :)
[Rumpy] Aha! Bulb finally chamak hi gaya! Thankoo thankoo! :)
[deitadi] This is what happens when I don’t reply soon enough. Someone else gets to it first :) But seriously, much too much that was! Chic waa and Sikh waa, it seems. Trés cool! But should be thrice, no? And life ‘cut’? You brought in Gult to add a layer of complexity even? Wah wah. (Not to be confused with waa waa which, as you say, fashionable surds prefer.)
ps .. Heh heh. As they say - you can run but you cannot hide.
pps .. Ayyo? Kaani digute, Chettu Kinda Pleader ayye chances unnayi kadaa?
ppps .. Argh! Wonder what it be? A dialogue? Tell and put out of misery pliss.
[Fleiger] Ah gotcha! Juhi Chawla, of course! Nice :)
[qs.gemini] Yay, she got it! Phew :)
[rashmi] Heh heh. Yodelling with laughter and falling off one’s chair is the recommended behavior for all ladylike readers of this blog. Plus it’s always good to keep the neighbors wary of you, I always say. Never know when it can come in handy. But seriously, much glad that you like! :) Welcome to the madhouse that is this blog and I hope you will join in on the fun more often!
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 11:07 AM
Let me try one:
Tam heroine see, see your Andre Agassi hair style is getting spoilt.
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 3:06 PM
reminds me of this raj kumar song.. “if you come today girl.. it’s too early.. if u come tomorrow.. its too late”.. tic tic tic ..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOy5mF-xoTA
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 5:34 PM
[KG] Erm? Clue pliss? Not too well versed with Tam cinema, by the way. Unless it is the same Tam heroine that we referred to.
[Tandy] Now now. My nonsensical translation is nothing compared to the classic that is ‘Ewww peek tha taaaaime .. tik tik tik tik tik tik .. door-leeeeeng!’ A real phillum song with real lyrics, picturized in a real movie and all. Entirely in a league of its own, it is.
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 6:51 PM
Amma dekh, haan dekh, tera munda bigda jaaye
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 7:06 PM
[Megha] Surely you’ve heard of Amma, no?
[Munday Blues] Thank you!
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 7:45 PM
Oh good.. you got that. After I wrote it, I started wondering whether I might have made it too language specific…
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 8:02 PM
Ham was Woe was and Sam on colourful, got no ?
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 9:02 PM
I am not in my own public transport.

[Yanni^3] Hum the woh thee aur sama rangeen, samajh gaye naa
This is fun!!
1. Saif Ali Khan cult classic locked in less ray and tea be gets lost.
2. Three Tam eggs and I, we meet like this
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 9:18 PM
YIKES!!!!!!! :D
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 9:46 PM
[Munday Blues] Aha!
[KG] Haan haan. It seems most obvious now, of course. But bulb didn’t chamkofy then, na.
[Fleiger] It was a bit language specific, but fortunately my Marathi skills are better than I expected them to be :)
[Yanni & MisGuide] Got, but not telling. Letting other readers guess them first. First one is toooo easy!
[raj da 2nd] Hee hee! :)
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 10:09 PM
[KG] Hum tum ik kamre mein band ho and ek main aur ek tu
Tam eggs, it seems. Egg, main, aur egg two = Three eggs + I. Classic! Brilliant it was :)
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 @ 10:23 PM
[Megha] Thank you. :-D
Last one, I promise.
Circuit’s debut is now a level in a hierarchy.
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 12:33 AM
[Megha] tanku, tanku.. side effects of spending way too much time at your blog ;) kuch toh bhi asar honga-eech honga
yep, my bad - its thrice :) The RD fan in you wont let such a thing go un-noticed eh?
are, aTla teesi pArEstarEndi bhai vakeel sAb lani.. ee dEsam la kOllu, mEkalanu nammukune badalu bangAru guDlu peTTe bAtu dorkinaTTe kada.. kya bolthei?
bAtu guDlu reminds me of this song though
bangAru bAtu guDDu
bandAru tokkuDu laDDu
sayyanavE, nA sarasaku rAve
chakkera chilaka kikkuru manaka pakkaku vastE cerustAne oDDu

I ain’t making this up, Promise! or Oral-B if you chose so.
If you havent had the (mis)fortune of listening to this song before, here is a link -
http://www.dishant.com/album/Vetagaadu-(1979).html
second one in the list.
Now that I have shared it - feels cathartic already :)
The filmi reference I mentioned - latter part the first of the ps’ is a dialogue from The Godfather - Part III :)
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 1:33 AM
[KG]/[Megha]: “Tam heroine” as a clue for Amma would not be accepted because it is a shady clue! She got the nick Amma about 20 years after she stopped acting in movies, when she got into politics!! Baah!
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 9:18 AM
> Your body is a 90s Tam heroine
[To himself: How does she know?]
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 9:19 AM
Tere mere sapne ab ek ‘rung’ hai…!
Grooaaan..*tummy ache* u guys have got me hooked. I not cant listen to a propah hind song without bursting into guffaws.
All this is putting me into nostalgia mode, recapping this inane game i played with my sis years ago. We wud quiz on on actors’ names eg. Which actress (accepted term then) is hermaphrodite? - Mahima Chaudhary (because she has a ‘HIM’ in her…maHIMa) [if any of her fans still survive and are reading this, no offence intended]. Yup, twas awful most of the times, but gud tp on a lazy evening
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 9:42 AM
[anantha] Yeah, it’s a shady clue, isn’t it?
[Anonymous] Congratulations, you got it.
Hermaphrodite Mahima, jeez!!
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 10:17 AM
[KG] Heh :)
[deitaDi] Okay, I have to ask - Who are you? First Ilayaraaja. Then RD. And now to top it all, golden ducky egg? A song that I thought only I knew about? (Of course I believe your laung ke tel waala Promise. Used to hear the song in the mornings on the radio while hurriedly drinking my Horlicks and dusting off the toast crumbs, before rushing to catch the school bus. Visions of a bright and shiny ducky egg are enough to drive away any Monday morning blues!) But again - who are you? Should I be practicing my slo-mo running for a separated at Kumbh Mela type moment or something? :)
ps .. That vakeel saab Ladies Tailor gaaru. Is he any less than a kodi or a meka, I say?
[Anantha] I am only going to defend the clues I actually came up with :) (Well, not even those, really.)
[Begumpetter] *cackle* It’s the Begum connection, what to do. Them and their well-rounded personalities, as you know.
[Anon/Rashmi] Yay! So happy that all Hindi movie songs have been destroyed for you! That is what we strive to achieve here! :) And hermaphrodite? Eeeesh! Ugh. Sigh. But I likey! Here’s one more - which pop artist is also a bird?
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 1:36 PM
Even shadier clue. (Yeah, I promised. So what???) :
What’s Tam Dum? Take my John.
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 1:59 PM
Gentle reminder:
MisGuide’s song is still waiting to be answered -
I am not in my own public transport.
Deal is somewhere and I am somwhere.
Coin a stop heart’s Hindi serial
The pickle is gone :(
ah ah aaa haaa aah
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 2:28 PM
Oh, I thought someone got it.
apne hi “bus” me nahi mai
“Deal” hai kahi toh hu kahi mai
roko na “koi” dil ki “udaan” ko
“dil” vo chalaa
MisGuide mixed up the antaras’s though :)
I thought the clue was brilliant, no?
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 2:46 PM
Amazing clue.
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 3:01 PM
Yes, despite mixed up antaras, it was awesome! So here’s my variation -
I am not in my own public transport
Deal is somewhere and I am somwhere
Wonder what John found
My life laughed and said
ah ah aaa haaa aah
Speaking of John, here’s one I recently attempted on Heh Heh’s blog -
What dairy product is my heart, my love ..
I dedicate my loo itself to you!
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 3:09 PM
dil kya “cheese” hai jaanam
apni jaan tere naam karta hai!
Hilarious! :)
too easy though :P
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 3:12 PM
True true, way to easy. To be fair, it wasn’t meant to be a puzzle there. Just an articulation of the feelings that Ronit Roy (and his dancing) inspired in me :)
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 3:19 PM
About the ducky song - I used to listen to that in the same context too! :) I feel the kumbh mela moment approaching too :P but seriously, purely coincidental… I dont have a friend/acquintance in the Boston area as whacky as you ;)
so you like Ilayaraja’s music too eh? nice to know :)
about the Ladies Tailor and CKP references, u mean RP?
ps. I hope you got the “kOllu” reference :)
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 3:52 PM
[deitaDi] (Starting to wonder about the funda behind the name.) Okie, I shall put off the KMM for now, but shall practice the slo-mo for a just-in-case scenario. One never knows.
Oh yes yes, very much a Raja fan. More of a Raja from the 80s and early 90s fan, to be precise (which includes CKP and LT even!) That’s when I discovered him and I think I’m stuck in a time warp when it comes to his music. Give me my Geetaanjali, my Seetaakokachilukaa and my Anveshanaa and I am a happy camper. Guess one needed them to counter the golden duck eggs and jeans-pants, no? (You got the latter song reference, surely?)
ps .. Yes yes, RP only. That fine bushy specimen. But no, did not get reference. Figured it to be a movie dialogue. Sounded Rao Gopal Rao-ish, but I must be confused. Help?
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 4:37 PM
woo! too much fun going on here! Let me jump into the party! Here goes mine
Hint: Its a kind of carp fish. And all the hate mail can go to the owner of this blog!
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 7:12 PM
[KG] I have a feeling it is
“dil cheez kya hai,
aap meri jaan leejiye”
not able to make the connection though :)
[Megha] For the birdy pop star, could you narrow down the domain? dEsi ya vidEsi?
Tou’che for the Ilayaraja remark! I guess we started discovering him at around the same time(!) - His music was pure magic back then.
Did you listen to “Shiva 2006″ ? If you did - thoughts?
Jeans-pants? Yamaleela? But it happened much later than the ducky egg song, so methinks thats not the right one. Another clue? :)
The “kOllu” reference - code(software) ~ kODi ~ kOllu :)
ps. How do I format my comments? I am totally ignorant of all the HTML/JavaScript fundas :)
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 8:13 PM
[deitaDi] Dum is a remake of the Tamil movie Dil. Sorry, I was bored.
[Megha] One hopes sincerely that the birdy pop star isn’t S. Crow.
[gvenum] One is tempted to guess Meena even if one has no idea what the clue means.
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 9:15 PM
[KG] No worries :)
aah.. S.Crow - makes sense.
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 9:35 PM
[deitaDi] Desi. And to clarify, not pure pop. But desi-pop gets branded under the general umbrella of pop, so I went with pop :) Not heard Shiva yet. Anantha has asked that I hear too, but not yet done. Will hear and tell. And jeans-pant is a much more recent early-90s event. Nenu jeans-pantu ni veskosthe .. ring a bell? And groan on kodi!
[KG] No not Crow. Desi. See above. And ayyo! That’s terrible. First there’s a Tam movie called Dum, so that’s a confusing reference. Tam Dum is Tam Dum, you know. Secondly you cannot leave out a key word like cheez. Cheese. Ricotta. Dairy product. Please. It is the best part about translations like these!
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 11:28 PM
My huge huge sea friend angle chief left behind
From Jai my dreams of waste
Gel Zeenat yours too, of smooches to Nasser
A name like Mika, tube pine for
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 11:36 PM
[InSashayable] Brilliant! Smooches to Kundera though, it should be :)
Thursday, September 21, 2006 @ 11:39 PM
[Megha] inkA chinching sAr
[InSashayable] too much, I say! :)
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 12:29 AM
mary kiran = mallu christian?
took me a while to figure that out :-|
Absolutely hilarious!
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 3:22 AM
[deitaDi] Chinchofy chinchofy. After all that chinching, it is little wonder that there’s only shreds of our sanity left :)
[Sudha] Mary Kiran. Seems like a name a Mallu Christian would have, no? And for the record, I know a Mallu Christian by that name, hence the thought :) *sheepishly looks around for an exit*
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 7:55 AM
[InSashayable] Gotcha..but wont play t spoiler. btw, ‘Gel Zeenat’ was spiffing beaut - took me quite some time to get that!
[Megha] :) Hans Raj Hans (*exit singing ‘bachpan ke din bhi kya din the’*)
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 8:22 AM
oops…forgot again to write my name above!
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 8:23 AM
[gvenum] koi haseena jab rooth jaati hai to…?
verrrry obscure clue that!had to check with Wiki…
koi: ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp [courtesy Wikipedia]
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 8:39 AM
[Rashmi]
Ahaa ! Great! you got it right! One of my colleague was mentioning about that fish sometime back!
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 9:36 AM
Yay !!! I got the big big huge sea !!!
P.S My story - Regular Reader-turned-commenter…equally suffering with the multiple personality disorder but we are only 13 as of now and all of them are evil.
Btw ‘deithadi’ is related to a ritual/offering/enunciation to ‘Pochamma’ ammavaru.
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 11:51 AM
[Rashmi/gvenum] I got to Koi (thanks to Live search :P) but “fish having eena” threw me off.. I was stuck at “koeena” :) Obscure indeed!
[Megha] merse nai horaa.. aap-eech boldiyo usthaad
[Mthyili] party!!! :P
13 A, chAlA? and yeah, I can vouch for the evil part ;)
To clarify - deitaDi is a very hyderabadi word.. Although it originated with Pochamma rituals. its general usage means “wholeheartedly” ~ “without holding anything back”
kaDupu noppi taggindA? :P
ps. Goes without saying, we know each other :)
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 12:56 PM
Mere “big”i “big”i sea “pal”kon mein reh gaye
“Jai”se mere sapney bikharke …
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 3:01 PM
[Rashmi] Arrey! Hans Raj Hans was not the one I had in mind, but that fits in perfectly too! Isn’t it nice when the same lousy PJ has multiple correct answers? Ah, the simple joys of life! (Pliss to see response to deitaDi for the answer I had in mind.)
[gvenum] Fishy clue, that was!
[Mythili] Yay! Another reader turned commenter! Another reader turned commenter! Much happiness at the abounding Gult women population :) (And droooool at the food you cook.) Nice nice. Ominous thirteen and all. Very 80s horror movie types. (Don’t tell me you spent many a Saturday afternoon with a bunch of shivering, nervous friends watching multiple viewings of Evil Dead and Omen, with the curtains tightly drawn? I know I did!) And enduku all evil-u? Of course Evil Two and Psycho Three out of my seventeen are very happy to hear that, but the good guys are all grumbling and whining, so just wondering.
[deitaDi] A gap in my education has been filled today thanks to you and [Mythili]. I’d never heard this Hyderabadi term before. *practices saying deitaDi in different ways .. deitaaDi .. deiiitadi .. deii-tuddy .. *
And here’s the much awaited answer -
Q: which desi pop artist is also a bird?
A: Baba Seagull
*runs away and hides under the table-u*
And what is this? Mythili and deitaDi know each other aa? Too much Yaadon Ki Baaraat moment only, this is. Or should I say Annadammula Anubandham seeing as this is the TANA convention? (Is there a female equivalent of this movie, at all? And why don’t they ever make female-siblings-separated-at-birth movies? Ooh, I feel a new blog post coming up on this matter.)
[Anon] Bingo! :)
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 3:04 PM
[deitaDi] I forgot to add - You wanted to do comment formatting? Okie, simple tutorial -
1. Surround the text you want to boldface with the <b> and </b> tags
2. Surround the text you want to italicize with the <i> and </i> tags
3. And for indentation, surround the text with the <blockquote> and </blockquote> tags.
There’s a comment quicktag plugin that I used to have in place to make life easier on you, that stopped working, so I disabled it. Will bring it back alive to save you the hassle of remembering all this mumbo-jumbo. Gives you a nice set of buttons on the top that you can click to format your text.
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 3:11 PM
I used obscure ones as you guys seem to be super smart in figuring out (masking the fact that I make lousy clues), you have to understand I am no master-cluester like InSashayable(bow to you) or Megha, so you have to bare with me.! Much appreciated!
Alrite I have 2 of them at a go now!
1) Leh gets strong wind in this life!
2) My Daughter-In-Law is a moon, You are a bar in Mumbai
door is next to Daughter-In-Law, sridevi told
The second is an easy one, else you would start ignoring my clues.
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 6:08 PM
[gvenum] We here, on this blog, follow a ‘we will support you in whatever lifestyle choices you make, as long as you don’t inflict them on us’ policy. So while we are all for the appreciation of the human body, please to not be baring it on this blog and more importantly, expecting us readers to bare with you. Thankoo muchly.
Heh heh :) Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Now for your clue - Got the second one! It should be Sridevi where, not Sridevi told though, na? Very cool. I likey :)
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 6:30 PM
I got the second one too. I would have put it as:
The door is next to Daughter-In-Law, but where’s Sridevi?
Great clue though.
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 6:51 PM
If I say “where’s Sridevi” or ” sridevri where” that’s giving it away! (throwing away the grammer ofcourse) I guess it gets much simple.
About bear! Groan! Double groan! Hope I haven’t tickled unwanted organizations with that comment.
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 7:11 PM
[gvenum] Tickle unwanted organizations? Er? Do I even want to know what you mean by that? Er, no, wait, don’t answer that. On the song clue, I don’t think ‘where’s Sridevi?’ gives it away. It nicely ends the clue on a question mark, like KG put it, much like the song itself does. Either way, nice clue :)
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 7:33 PM
Superstar dirty idiot stomach lost smelling nicey UN just life men.
Friday, September 22, 2006 @ 10:09 PM
1) Leh gets strong wind in this life!
Ae zindagi gale laga leh

Innocent city in Gujarat, pickle of 70s comedic siblings
US war from the 60s big, Indian King maker small
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 9:34 AM
[Megha-ji] I don’t know about gult movies with ‘female-siblings-separated-at-birth’ theme but I think in tam, there was one Vaani Raani , if my memory serves me right*. It was evidently dubbed into/from other languages as well. But, I’m not sure if it did have a YKB moment.
OTOH, this post is wicked & craaazy! ( ala Gnarls) :)) LOL!
* - I, some times, have selective amnesia.
Now did I write that?
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 9:42 AM
Nice [Unfair and lowly!] Very Nice! You get the goodies!:)
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 12:15 PM
[gvenum & Unfair n Lowly] Excellent!!
[Molu] Got the song but didn’t get the Indian king maker part.
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 2:11 PM
[gvenum] got’em both atlast..very cool!! First one is one if the very best of Raja’s compositions, IMO :)
[Megha] The correct pronunciation is dei (similar to hindi “give”) and taDi (”wet” in Telugu) :)
Baba Seagull? wicked!
bAnchan, A jeans-pant pATa Edo ceppurri.. dimAg kharAb aitundi
Haha, I sink I am the one who introduced her to this mad house :)
I can sink of atleast 2 Telugu movies with such concept. One is Ganga Manga starring Vanisri, Krishna & Sobhan babu - similar to Sita aur Gita.
The second one is pretty popular actually.. one of the golden oldies.
Hint: Your blog post has a reference to the name of a central character in the movie :)
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 3:59 PM
[Desh Ki Mitty] Haha! Good one!
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 4:02 PM
[Desh ki Mitty or deitaDi] Clue please. That one’s driving me crazy.
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 4:44 PM
[KG] it has a reference to Tam phillum industry :)
Saturday, September 23, 2006 @ 6:23 PM
[deitaDi] Dang. Can’t believe I didn’t get it before. Thank you!!

[Molu] aha! I didnt get the kingmaker part too :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 4:11 AM
What structured statically typed programming language, what water path is yours Devdas’ neighbor?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 8:32 AM
[KG] I never heard this song but constructed it purely based on the clue - good one :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 10:52 AM
[deitaDi]: What, never heard this song??? Next you’re going to tell me that you’ve never seen a Sunil Shetty movie.
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 11:06 AM
[gvenum and Unfair n Lowly] Aha! Most excellent :)
[Desh ki Mitty] Clever!
[Molu] Oooh. I likey very much! The Indian King maker bit is a VERY nice twist :)
[Vasu] See, that’s the thing. Vaani Raani seems to fall in the Ganga Manga and Seeta aur Geeta category of female-twins-separated-at-birth. That is not so much like Yaadon Ki Baaraat as much as it is Ram aur Shyam and Kishen Kanhaiyya. I’m trying to think of a movie where the separation and eventual meeting of non-twin sisters was the backbone of a story. Cannot come up with a single example in Hindi or Telugu.
[deitaDi] Ahh! dei-tadi! Got it now :)
Aha jeans-pant-u to nenosthe, meeru baggy-pant-u pai choostaaru
Aha baggy-pant-u to memosthe, meeru pancha-lungi choostaaru
Meeku edi kavaalo, naaku ardhamu kaalede
Poolabaanaalesaame, pichchivaallayyipoyame!
(Excuse language mutilations, tried to transcribe lyrics as I remember them)
About Ganga Manga, as I said to Vasu above also - I’m looking for female-non-twin-siblings type movies, which is what YKB is, na? But what is this second movie? Hint in my blog post aa? Khushboo or Kiran? Clue ivvu talli!
[KG and deitaDi] Indian King maker = maker of Raja Hindustani aka Dharmesh Darshan :)
[KG] Heh heh heh :) Devdas’s neighbor, it seems. It’s been ages since i’ve heard this song! *exits singing ‘hayyyaaa .. tararam tam taaram’*

double life of veronique
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 3:16 PM
[Guest] Yesh? Something about the film connects to this post?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 3:32 PM
they are not twins seperated at birth
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 3:42 PM
[Guest] Aaah! Thankoo! Didn’t realize it was a reference to that. I was talking about desi movies though. The lost-and-found/sibling-separation theme is one of our favorites, after all. Suggestions in that department?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 4:29 PM
Hum dono, Yakeen..
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 4:54 PM
[KG] Finally I get one song. I knew there was *some* good to watching Baba Sehgal host Superhit Muqabla in Tamil! I don’t remember the movie though, Shastra was it?
[Megha] Please close comments and put new post. I can’t stand this any more. The Superstar is not dirty, be it in Hindi or Tamil or English! The Superstar is infallible….
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 4:56 PM
[Guest] Ah, see you’re thinking of lookalikes who are not twins, a la Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. Both Hum Dono and Yakeen fall in that category, yes? I am looking for something that is a female version of Yaadon Ki Baarat or an Amar Akbar Anthony. The brothers/non-twins separated-at-birth story is very common in Bollywood. I want a female equivalent of that. Ideas?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 5:07 PM
[anantha] Yes, Shastra :) And close comments? Nahiiiiiiin! I can understand your pain though :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 5:22 PM
[KG] Thinking again, I might have heard it - but one of those songs that didnt quite get “stuck” I guess :)
[Megha] Thanks, Thanks & Tankulu erri machu (for formatting tips, Indian king maker and the song)
about the song though - you tricked me! I was sinking about something as “good” as the ducky egg song.. You got the lyrics mostly correct though :)
the other movie definitely belongs to the category you are looking for!
Not Khushboo or Kiran. The happy one!
And..
aTlenduku anpincindi sAr :|
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 5:46 PM
[deitaDi] Oho! Ayyo! Now that I think about it, I have NO clue why I thought what I thought. Sorry. Muchly apologetic for confusion. Duly corrected and chastised :)
Bhery bhelcome-u. It is always the song that comes to mind when I think of jeans-pants-u, what to do. Intent was not to trick. Just sharing of tender childhood memories and all that good stuff.
Not Khushboo or Kiran? KMG then? Sigh .. now I have to think some more. Clue pliss?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 5:55 PM
[Megha] No worries :)
Hmm, how do I do this without giving it away completely… hmmmmer..
lets see - If Keshto Mukherjee (from Chupke Chupke) were to propose to someone, what would he say?
Reminder: This is still a clue for the name of the central charcter in the movie :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:18 PM
[deitaDi] Sigh. This gets worse. Are we talking Hindi or Telugu?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:24 PM
[Megha] English :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:26 PM
[deitaDi] Ah, English aa! So wait, let me make sure I understand this. English movie. Non-twin sibling-separation flick. Female siblings. And central character is connected to James from Chupke Chupke?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:31 PM
Decides that he would gain a lot by making himself a martyr for the cause and wonders if he should do something drastically stupid to stop people from playing the Riddler!
Okie.. ENOUGH! This post has been something like “101 ways to kill me slowly”!
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:31 PM
[Megha] RAma rAma..
Telugu movie(It was definitely remade in Tam - not sure about Hindi). Non-twin separation birth flick. Central character’s name is a happy name in your blog postand its in the vocabulary/lingo of james :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:34 PM
[anantha] Heh - Understand your pain buddy :)
[Megha] In the spirit of Gandhi-giri, do you wish to take this offline? :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:41 PM
[deitaDi] Humare liye kuch mat karna. Gandhigiri ke naam se bhi kuch mat karo. Sab apne apne dil se poocho aur jo woh kehta hai, wohi karo!
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:44 PM
[anantha] Aww. Just as long as we don’t actually succeed, it’s all good :D
[deitaDi] Purely for fear of public lynching, I think that might be a very wise idea. Pliss to :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 6:48 PM
[Megha] I fear the same :P
You know my email (or do you? :) ) Feel free to shoot an email/add in ym :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:00 PM
[deitaDi] I got it! I got it! At least I think I did :) (Thanks to KG for a suggestion that helped me think in the right direction. In my Oscar speech, I must remember to add him to my ‘I couldn’t have done it without ..’ list.) So .. should I tell here or offline?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:02 PM
[Megha] Some others might have been eagerly awaiting for the answer also (atleast I would like to think so and give myselves a pat on the back for raising the curiosity levels :P)
If you do not get it right, may be we can take it offline :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:09 PM
[Megha] On the other hand - they might be trying to crack it too(To quote you, I sink “much too muchly” of myselves dont I) :)
Your call!
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:11 PM
[deitaDi] Yes yes, always good to assume that the world is waiting with bated breath for our pearls of wisdom :) Okie, with much trepidation, I shall wonder aloud if it might be a certain Missamma?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:18 PM
[Megha] Right on!
10 points to you, me and JK Tyres. Or may be 5 to KG :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:26 PM
[deitaDi] Yayy!
ps .. don’t let Anantha scare you. Pliss to continue the nonsense :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:39 PM
[Megha] I am not sure if he is a football fan, but if he is, I have more reason to be afraid as my team beat his team today :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 7:48 PM
[deitaDi]
* Decides to continue in Hindi to protest against the be fizool ke translations that have been going on.
Aaap humare baare mein baat kar rahe hain? Hum to uthna expert tho nahi hain, football ki baathon mein. Par hum football seeke the, “Da Bears” aur Eagles ke saath. Tho humare fav yeh dono team hi hai. Jets aur Giants ko hum uthna deke nahi hain. Par dekhthe hain, ek ya do seasons main woh favorites ho jaayenge ki nahin!
*pumps his fists.. Haa!
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 8:26 PM
*doesnt understand how Hindi is a means of protest, but continues merrily as it allows to show-off hyderabadi zubaan
are yaaro, hum bi ek na ek time pe voh dono shehron ke aaju baaju-ich rehthe the.. par kabhi bhi vo team-aa ache nai lage merku.. ham logaa Big-ten (college) football dekh-dekh ko seekhe..
dono bhi team-aa aaj jeet gaye sarke dikhra.. khush? :)
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 9:03 PM
[deitaDi] Just out of boredom and curiosity, which team beat which team?
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 9:26 PM
[KG] The Eagles beat the 49′ers. The Bengals beat the Steelers. The Jets beat the Bills. The Seahawks beat the Giants. The Ravens beat the Browns. Da Bears beat the Vikings. The Rams beat the Cardinals. The Colts beat the Jaguars. The Packers beat the Lions. The Redskins beat the Texans. Two more games.. hmmm.. Wait, I know. The Dolphins beat…… the Titans. The Panthers beat the….. Buccaneers. And finally as I speak, the Broncos are leading the Patriots 10 nothing. Whew.. I did not check ESPN except for the last two mentioned completed games and the current score of the Broncos-Patriots match-up.
[deitaDi] Woh Hindi waali baath, bahut mahinon purani silsila hai. Ek gaon main ek naujawan rehta tha. Usko hindi jaantha tho nahi tha. Par baath kartha tha aur gaane bhi gaata tha. Ek baar, kisi ko usne mubarak kiya. Par woh anjaan tha ki is zaalim duniya uski Hindi boli ka maazaak udayegi! Khair chodiye. Yun ki hamein be-fizool ki baat karne ki aadat toh hai nahin.
Par dekhne waali baath yeh hai ki hum ab bhi aapke baath na samje. Dono team jeete? Woh kaise?

[Bongo Our Lurrve]: “red veggie will become Suresh”
Heh.
Sunday, September 24, 2006 @ 11:52 PM
This is stretching things too far.When your blog starts radiating negative feelings,charm is lost.Too bad.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 1:52 AM
Bongo Amour! :D
(Trust a bong to get me here!)
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 6:30 AM
[deitaDi] I think we’re safe for now. He thinks he’s distracted us with football, but he doesn’t seem to realize that we can multi-task. Heh heh :)
[Nonnymouse] Always like how your names tie in with your clues!
[Bongo Our Luurve] ‘Gujarati records’. Hee hee! :)
[aniyan] You have no clue what’s going on here, do you? :)
[Shankari] Heh. Nice clue, no?
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 10:19 AM
megha:
pliss pliss pliss to give out answers to all the clues this far, you guys seem to get em all, with ‘aah, this ones easy’, or ‘ooh, muchly clever!’ :( boo-hoo. I havn’t got even one of them. So plissss to be explaining! thks!!! :))
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 10:51 AM
[Nonnymouse or Megha] : If it’s B M C A, why?
If it isn’t, clue?
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 11:00 AM
[All ye hindi to angrezi translation nazis]: Yes. do that. Or better even, STAAAAAAP this madnessssss!
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 11:01 AM
[pickled pepper] Wokies, let me compile them all for you. *looks up at the number of clues she has to compile* Groan. Sigh :)
[KG] It is B M C A! Nonnymouse, after all :) Split B and C into two words each. And take some liberties with them.
[anantha] Arrey, but why would I stop such creative outpourings? See, I am telling you. Join in on the madness instead of complaining about it, and it’ll stop getting on your nerves so much. Heh heh :)
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 11:14 AM
Some “sinking” too muchly of oneself…..football.. some misunderstanding…. some desperate pleas….some zkir of Missamma… some mix-n-match of ‘talli’ …. all in all seems like there was party here over the weekend.
[Megha] - Yes a mini TANA convention on the anvil. Why evil-u means being evil is much more cooler than being good :D :D. We are a growing community … may be the upcoming Mythili Primes will be bad mutants (all good and coy).
[deitaDi] You could have avoided the ‘talli’ title by introducing yourself like so. Hey, I am deitaDi. I am a boy :P :P.
I know shoulda woulda couldaa… the damage is done talli :P
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 11:23 AM
[Megha] Thank you.
Is this solely person years at risk?
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 12:24 PM
Okie, here’s the lot of them in one place (excepting the few recent ones that I don’t want to give away yet.) Proceed with extreme caution. Name in parentheses is the person responsible for creation, so you know who to give gaalis to. If any song needs additional explanation, ask. Will provide it with much sadistic satisfaction and a liberal dose of hee haws :)

[Bongo Our Lurrve/Megha/KG] Clue please :?

[deitaDi] I am that

Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 1:21 PM
[Mythili] Yes yes, much fun was had in your absence! And the more evil, the better :) And after that talli confusion, never again will I mock the ‘I am a boy’ introduction ever again. Never :)
[KG] I thought I got. KYPH. But the risk is throwing me off?
[deitaDi] The name of the cluer, is a big clue :)
[1000 name-a] Heh. A reply and a clue rolled into one? Brilliant :)
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 1:31 PM
[100 name-a] “1000 name-a” — that too in Hyd zubaan….Btw, is the clue only for dtd ? Good one.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 1:44 PM
[1000 name-a] That was way too easy by your standards. :-)
[Megha] You got. Think acronym.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 2:27 PM
[1000 name-a] dikhraa ustaad.. aise-ich hai sarke dikhra :)
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 2:32 PM
I still can’t get Gujarati Records… is the movie Devdas or parineeta ? I cannot think of any other bong loves … or am I way off here ?
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 3:36 PM
[Mythili] Clue is for all of us, I think? As for Bongo love stories, think older. And think of music director that this blog worships :)
[KG] Abba!

I couldnt get it, but Awesome-o! :)
[Mythili] kis ke chevul mei chinta kaayal laga rahe ho..

Well Anantha! Since you cannot beat the enthusiasm you see here, this is your chance to jump in.

[guest] Ferpect!
[Mythili] Yes, of course. Complete honor system, we follow here :)
[deitaDi] Was there a dearth of Hindi murderers on this blog, that you decided to bring along your Hyderabadi torture methods? :) Tsk tsk.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 5:27 PM
[gvenum] Got the song, of course, but didn’t get Older-Dutt.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 5:38 PM
[KG] Wow that was super faast! Yeah I agree that was a weird one. That was the name of the role which he was famous for in a famous movie. Ask your neighbor he might know:)
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 6:10 PM
Yay !!! I got it too !! Too easy gvenum :)
This is too much like anything only :D :P. Ah the neighbor clue - that is awesome !!! Naive and neat !!! :P :P
[deitaDi] Yikes. Stop that !! Right now. There. Many thanks

Krishna’s devotee’s fish with Khaiber
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 6:23 PM
[gvenum] Very clever with the neighbor bit! Plus ‘eataway’ is a very Anantha type clue, so hopefully it’ll make him happy too. *ducks to avoid missiles from the general direction of NYC*
[Mythili] I think I got it but fish? How? Or maybe I didn’t get. Um .. never mind.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 6:42 PM
[gvenum] Thanks, Bindu did give me the answer.
[Mythili] Clue?
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 7:22 PM
[Megha] I feel like we are working on take-home exam here :P. Ping me offline and we can compare our answers. heh heh
[KG] Read my entire comment. Not just the italics part. You will get it.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 7:36 PM
[Mythili] Nope. Still beats me.
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 7:52 PM
[Mythili] Pinging you now :) I think my first guess about the song was right, after all. (More certain after re-reading your entire comment and not just the italics bit). While the RD fan in me is most happy, I still don’t get the fish part? Another koi/carp thing?
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 8:07 PM
[KG] The comment has a reference to the name of the movie. The fish I am talking about is a special type and it is very famous.
[Megha] I , just a moment ago, put you out of your misery. *runs to hide in the land of taliban*
Monday, September 25, 2006 @ 8:41 PM

[Anantha] Share the indignation now - ab se mai bhi shuroo ho jaarau
[Mythili] Unna maata ante.. … … …
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 2:42 AM
[Shankari] Got it, with much help from google.
[Mythili] Nope. Please to put us out of our misery also.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 8:30 AM
Ok KG, the airport reference was a give away, inspite of the Dead invocation. Here is Casey Jones himself:
like one falls down from the edge of a workout
man goes twice with Sue’s delay
and happily today in this yum green cover
slow Casey, this fire!
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 8:56 AM
[Shankari] Got the song, but “Be gay” had me stumped for a long time.
Man, you are a genius.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 9:36 AM
[Mythili] The fish is Salmon, isn’t it?
A thousand curses on you.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 10:58 AM
Gawd, Megha! This is a major hit @ home. Lemme pallllease post a couple more- easy peasy as they be
armies yes USAID you
golden dunes ow you did only you
washed doll child after two kings
O like pal mind Ana came dancing
O armies
And this one is a kannada fav. (easy peasy again)
sheepish lights come tomorrow after elephant’s burning pop
(running away now ‘fore Megha shoots me daaaun)
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 12:13 PM
[KG] No mention. The pleasure is mine. :P
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 12:18 PM
[Megha] Bah… I got it day before yesterday itself! And before you jump on me with timelines here, I mean “day before yesterday” purely as an expression..
*decides to engage in conversation till the missiles can home in
And even being the chatur naar that you are, you are very close to being marath jaath only.
*hears the hint of a whistle as the missiles streak down
Oh btw, NYC is a lot eastward than where I am…..
*hears a loud boom as the missiles hit, just before all communication ceases
YESSSSS…. The translation nazi falls! Peace shall reign! Muaawaaahaaa….Muaaawaahaa…
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 1:01 PM
[Mythili] Eeeesh. Salmon was soooo very groan-worthy. Sigh.
[Shankari] Puleeeeej continue to post, there will be no bodily harm, I promise. Well, at least not from my side :) And I thought I was the the only one who called the movie Baghban tiger-arrow. After your clue, I feel so much better :) And on the second one - Much too much. Seriously brilliant! ‘Edge of a workout’, it seems. Wow! Now for the third one .. Aargh.
[deitaDi] Now now. Why would I ever say anything bad about Hyderabadi torture methods? I practice them too sometimes :) But don’t you go sympathizing with Anantha and all. His windy windy-ness is a whole different story. If you went through what I did, you would understand why I do what I do. Sniffle.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 1:59 PM
[Anantha] Of course you would get it. It is in your lingo only, is what I was saying. Would have been surprised if you didn’t :) And marath jaath? :D Please tell me you mean marat jaat? Otherwise, besides being a chatur naar and a Gult, I will also become a Maratha and a Jaat. Total mera bhaarat mahaan moment happening in me right now. And you really didn’t think that li’l pop was going to end this nonsense, did you? :)
[Shankari]
I got it! I got it! I am sooo proud of myself! Golden dunes. Washed doll child. Two kings. Mind Ana. You are much too much :)
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 3:30 PM

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 4:36 PM
[Shankari] Phew.. got the the chappal song.. on to the next one.

[guest]
Fundoo clue! VERY impressive. Especially the way you worked our resident translation-protester into the clue itself. Sweeet :)
[deitaDi] Ooh nice. Mineral, it seems. And ‘happy scary drink’! Uff :)
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 7:55 PM
[Megha] Argh.. no RD clue next time - too easy for you only.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 9:50 PM
[guest]Yaaayy !! I got it… O B P P - N J R N J
Can someone throw some light on Casey Jones and Washed doll ?
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 10:24 PM
I sing tea come come de rat.
maid ran prohibited nine lamps.
in which
Whistled away dreams two bars
and Asha went on a binge
no mirror flowing Mandy Mo(o)re
evergreen man is a onion.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 10:59 PM
[Mythili] Yep :)
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 11:00 PM
To See ji,
If you hadn’t, I’d have posted something along those lines- thank youji for the high tea invite! :D
Megha, we’re freaking out with this at home! Muchly funly, multi-gultly, bongo-punjly. But where are the kannadigas in the house??? Come come all digas digas!
Mythili, the songs are so easy. Don’t be put off by the clues only. Think of armies, the washed doll will follow in their wake.
Anantha (didn’t know you as Anti, pa), I am known as pro- (choice, life, whatever :p)
This one is for you only (from my limited Tam rep.): Virginia’s blue road, half battery great! (aiyyyo pa, its a nice song, I torture so)
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 @ 11:55 PM
O public transport anantha
Daddy Van mad
Dont go twice

Cute one ! Thanks for the clue shankari!
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 12:54 AM
Shankari, the Casey one was brill..and to top, its one of my fav songs!mmm..kishore da…sigh!
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 4:59 AM
Rash, nJoy maadi da, don’t sigh! ‘Tis my favouritestestest saang and its RD moshai too :)
Megha, in case you are still checking this space (which seems to be overrun by squatters), this is for you - obscure cheapo songs, a bit inspired by To seaji :
hard wooden ma found a cure, endless pink fish left us
source of light became a soldier, sigh!
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 6:46 AM
What’s it with this place and fish, huh? Jeez man.
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 9:31 AM
*echos KG’s last comment! *
And what’s with all the anantha baiting? Jeez only.
[Shankari] About that
Thanks, but no! I dont want to attempt anything, even if it was Tam! The question is not the language, but the whole translation thing! Why translate something into another language, when the original is much more beautiful, even if I can’t understand! :P
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 11:59 AM
KG ji ji
Why the carp? Fresh fish theme party na?
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 11:59 AM
Whoo hoo… I got workout song. R G S , S S J M
[KG] Pike Place Market only this comment space.
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 12:33 PM
[deitaDi] Heh :)
[To Sea to Tea Went, Gee] Likey the name very much! And even more so, the song. Thankoo for the little ego-trip :)
[Shankari] I ‘heart’ squatters :) I like how you are turning it into a whole family saga type thing, with some national integration thrown in. Much happiness! Please to continue :)
Still working on these. Sigh.
[Mythili] Madhouse only this commentspace. Shudder. About the washed dolls - think more recent :)
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 1:47 PM
[to sea to ...] I got it !
Me-gha cha-aye aa-dhi raat …
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 2:19 PM
[Megha] they are two equally cheapo songs tho the latter is more well known(!)
[deitaDi]: come great Virginia! for that trip you sent M on :)
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 2:28 PM
Easy one, but couldn’t resist
Be anantha and pepsi
In two ke couple shh dont

Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 3:30 PM
Bahhhh…
Someone save me…
SOMEONE SAVE ME! HELLLLPPPPPP PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seem to be undergoing a metamorphosis! I actually seem to have got that last song!
SOMEONE DELIVER ME FROM THIS HORRENDOUS FATE!
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 3:39 PM
I figured I hadn’t made a *ahem* .. ‘creative’ contribution to this nonsense in some time, so here I go. This isn’t a song though. More of a reciting of pompous lines. But it has nice dhinkichiki background music. And very famous lines, they be. From the tale of a growing plant and all.
dad tell soiled is high in calories, tea, chai
a paaji tell guy with nice butt
at pickle tell campy humanity
Raj car is doing high one ..
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 3:45 PM
Is the workout song
Rim Jhim Gire Sawan … ?
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 4:01 PM
[Shankari]: Tam song: N V S V (Got it with Megha’s help)
[Guest] : Heh. Got it.
So we have gone down to B N B level now? Double Jeez.
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 4:07 PM
[Guest] Yes, bingo! And shhh. Since you’re the first to get the answer, I’m moderating your comment for now so others can give it a shot too. Hope you don’t mind? :) Thankoo!
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 5:35 PM
Tabhi to .. I wondered who “ate” up my comment. No hassles. Go ahead.
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 5:39 PM
[Guest] Heh heh, yesh. That would be me only. *burp*
By the way, there are speculations and curious questions about you being a female troll. (Although I think the askers of such questions are thoda nuts for considering you a troll in the first place.) Any chances I can tempt you to delurk and clarify? You don’t have to, of course :)
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 5:46 PM
[Megha] Help please.
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 7:50 PM
Behind mother’s back VP
Radio come to chant drink six
P-friend’s where public transportation having come walks
K-power’s leg joint grandeur forest having come walks
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 9:47 PM
[KG] Yayyyyy! I’m the 200th! I’m the 200th! Heh, cheap thrills.
See the introductory bak-bak of the clue. There’s a movie name hiding there. It might be a bit well-hidden, but it’s there.
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 9:52 PM
[Megha] Too tough for me.
Here’s one:
What’s behind the bald Tamilian jeans??
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 @ 11:04 PM
cool site….
great design…..
profound inscriptions….
and my doubt is, are you a mallu…… ????
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 2:52 AM
[Megha] hamma.. got it atlast :)
[KG] Got the connection to the caretaker of a certain Emperor :)
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 5:28 AM
Meghs…Gotcha! *doing t mandatory dhinkichiki* got it cos on re-read, found u’d mentioned ‘not a song’. Which shows i must learn to read fine print as well, and not get distracted by t italics of t world…oh yeah!
[KG] hopefully not a certain political analyst/editor. U will have to face ‘tough luck’ :)
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 6:05 AM
[deitaDi, Rashmi] You got the person, did you get the song??
[Megha, Somebody,Anybody] How about an additional clue,huh? How about it?
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 8:11 AM
[KG] of course…! so do u want me to go cuckoo rite away? :)
btw, my prev comment has a clue innit (but it aint as brilliantly masked as megha’s)
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 9:14 AM
[Rahmi] :D
I give up. Just give me the answer,please.
As a sign of protest, I give you this trivially simple clue:
Listen to me, my sad affair to remember remake.
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 9:48 AM
[KG] oye..oye..dont go yet! *sheepish look at megha*
not after that brill SD number…its fan-toosh-tic! *chorus of groans at t bad pun*
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 11:19 AM
[KG] Yep - The hero is diesoriented wrt time :)
Got the latest one too - the hero sounds hyderabadi :P
About Megha’s clue - Cannot beat Rashmi’s hint - anything else would give it away :)
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 11:31 AM
[Rashmi] Bad pun? What bad pun??
Thank you, I know the movie now. But I’ve never watched it so I have no idea what the dialogues are.
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 12:24 PM
Did anybody figure out Molu’s and Shankari’s clues?
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 1:27 PM
[Molu] I think it is a Bade Burman song for Dev Anand.
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 2:14 PM
[Molu]: ‘back VP’ Classic!!
[Guest]: Thanks for the clue.
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 4:17 PM
[Molu,KG,anybody who cracked 'back VP' clue] Is it A K N, H A A P …?
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 4:34 PM
[Megha] hiihhaaahiiihihhaaaaaaaa … all the 13 of us are laughing …
I got it .. aha aha aha … [imagine teen maar here]
That’s it. I am out of this game… its burning me out .. :( . Mommmyyy . Bawl^ Bawl
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 5:03 PM
Holy Macaroni..Mirchi Masala… Sambar Idli…. Paneer Butter Masala…
I got the washed doll …. Yaayyyy !!!!!
That’s it.. this is final…
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 5:39 PM
Help on washed doll !
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 6:33 PM
Its not the Burman family creation. Think more recent. Probably post 2004.
Thursday, September 28, 2006 @ 8:55 PM
This is definitely off the current thread, but I just realised that neither SD or Pancham have received the Dadasaheb Phalke awards yet. It saddened me no end :( If theirs hasnt been stalwart contributions to Indian cinema, whose has?
Friday, September 29, 2006 @ 5:34 AM
Seems like the party is finally winding down :)
[KG]
Got this, but only with a Tam-knowledgeable friend’s help. Rashmi’s cuckoo-ness certainly helped though :)
Simple yes, but I like the ‘Affair to Remember’ bit. Terrible movie though, with an annoying Manisha.
As for my clue, you don’t need to watch the movie to know these lines. They are the ones that introduce the movie, with full synth background and all.
[Yogi] Nopes, not a Mallu. But ‘profound inscriptions’? Here? *falls off chair in shock*
[deitaDi] Heh. Yay! :)
[Rashmi] Thankoo for providing the clue for my non-song. Couldn’t have done better myself :)
[Molu] ‘Back VP’ was verrrry clever :)
[Guest] Think of a more recent con artist.
[Mythili] Yesh, you got Molu’s :) But awwww. *pat pat* That bad, eh?
[Rashmi] Couldn’t agree more. It is also unfortunate that Pancham got more recognition and respect after his death, than he did towards the end of his career in the late 80s and early 90s.
Friday, September 29, 2006 @ 11:01 AM
Ya.. the party is bored of F…fff…eee…aaa..rrr! :P
So is someone going to give me the answers or not? And close this comment section? Bah!
Friday, September 29, 2006 @ 11:50 AM
*falls off chair in shock*
mmhhh !! :)
Friday, September 29, 2006 @ 12:56 PM
Not helping … * arghh !! *
Friday, September 29, 2006 @ 2:56 PM
OK! one clue - you don’t have to convert ‘doll’
and think about hindi words that mean armies.
Friday, September 29, 2006 @ 3:48 PM
[anantha] Boring, it seems. I think someone’s just plain whiny and jealous. Heh heh :)
[yogi] :)
[Guest] And adding to Mythili’s clue .. be willing to think in English.
Friday, September 29, 2006 @ 3:55 PM
Dear Megha,
I really have to agree with anantha. Am starting to wish the rants were back. And, yes. I am being whiny. So there, I said it. :D
