How to say 'curd' in Telugu?

Ram and I went to Araku valleys soon after our wedding. This lovely hill station is situated 120 km

away from Visakhapatnam. The valley is situated on the Eastern Ghats and is adorned by many

natural waterfalls, fresh water streams. The journey was by car and Ram was at the wheel. Had a

comfortable journey uphill and we reached a guest house booked by our friend. I was almost zero

in talking Telugu and Ram uses many English words while he speaks Telugu!

Sample: 'Straigt-tuga veLLi, left turn-u chEsi'...........

We wished to order for dinner. Ram started the query.

'chapAthi undhA?' - 'LEdhaNdi saar' (No sir!); 'poori?' - 'LEdhaNdi saar';

'Rice-u and 'potato?' - 'antE EmaNDi? (what does it mean?). I thought, we are never ever getting

anything to eat! I started with my Telugu vocabulary! 'annam undha?' - 'undhaNdi'; 'koorakaaya?'

- 'undhaNdi'; 'pappu?' - 'undhaNdi'; 'pulusu' - 'undhaNdi'; :thumb: So far so good! :)

'curd-u?' - 'antE?' .... OMG! I am stuck here! Soon, I remembered Sri Chittibabu requesting his wife to

bring buttermilk for my father and me, when we visited him in Madras. 'Sudha! reNdu cup-pu majjiga

thechchi rAmmA!'. Thanks to my 'Guru'!! So..... 'majjiga' is buttermilk. I started with that. 'majjiga?' -

'undhaNdi'. Then to ask for curd, I explained, 'majjiga kAdhu! athE gettigA! (not buttermilk, the same

in tight form!) - 'antE?' Now is the time for me to gave up! So I gave up!!

Ultimately, hot chubby rice, moong dhal, pulusu (some kind of 'kozhambu'), brinjal curry and buttermilk

were served! Ram had no choice than to eat 'morunchAdham' with some pulusu since he hates moong

dhal and brinjal curry! :hungry:
 
Raji Madam

I came from Calcutta for a short vacation of 15 days only just to see my parents as my father was not keeping well.
My parents were very anxious to conduct my marriage and so as soon as I came, I was asked to see two girls selected by them and to choose one.
Although I was not informed earlier about this, I accepted and saw them and selected one.

Within a week’s time my marriage was arranged, and by that time already 12 days of my vacation has vanished in thin Air; (more about my marriage in some other post)

I had to extend my vacation by one more week; I literally begged for another 15 days leave but my Bengali Boss granted me only one week extension with a strict warning that there won’t be any more extension.

That was that, I had to make very short Honey moon trip , and I thought of going to Bangalore for only couple of days for Honey moon as my brother in law family was there and also a few very close relatives.

So, we went by Brindavan Express to Bangalore as in those days a very prestigious Train, and took a Suite in a decent Hotel. (I think it was Dasaprakash)

The moment we checked in a bunch of relatives came there to invite us for a Lunch or dinner so I had to spent lot of time explaining to them that as the time is very short, will surely make it next time.

One of the relative gave us a Cinema Ticket, for movie BLOW HOT BLOW COLD which was very famous.

We reluctantly accepted it, and when we went to the movie, we were surprised to see about 8 of my relatives family also entered the Hall with Children!!

My wife probably was cursing me from her mind as she was newly married!!

Dear P J Sir,

I am reminded of what my son told me when we visited him for the first time at Boston. I asked him to

go to his athai's house to enjoy his vacation, he replied, 'Amma! Going to athai's house is not a vacation!'

So, you should have chosen a place where none of your relatives lived!

P.S: In an old movie, the mother of the groom will request him to take her also along, for his honeymoon

because she has NOT seen honeymoon so far in her life! :lol:

 
Raji Madam

Some believe that the honeymoon originated as an ancient “Babylonian practice that involved drinking mead, a honey-based alcoholic drink, for a lunar month after a marriage.”

Regardless of its origin—today the honeymoon is a time for a couple to celebrate their marriage and new life together and their love for one another that made it possible.

My owes did not end there; as I was living in a bachelor accommodation in South Calcutta, I could not take my wife with me; I went back to Calcutta and joined office duty; As usual everyone wanted me to give a party to them, and wanted more….

My accountant, an old man understood my feelings, and told me that he can rent one of his spacious ground floor room ; I thought about it and agreed as my wife will have some help and guidance from accountant mama’s wife, but it turned out like a Vepampoo Pachadi. ( more about it later)

So I requested my brother in law to bring my wife to Calcutta as early as possible.

I got married in November, she came to me with her brother in law in the second week of February only!!! Agonizing period!!

Since I started in a single Room, my Kuduthinam, my brother in law also slept with us !!!
 

I have already posted this in 'vaNNa vaNNa manithargaL'.

Since it is a scary experience on our return journey, posting it again! :)

"மறுநாள் அங்கு சுற்றிப் பார்த்த பின், மீண்டும் ஊருக்குத் திரும்ப ஆயத்தம் செய்தோம்.

வளைவுப் பாதைகளில் கீழே வரும்போது, ஏதோ 'டொடக்' என்று சத்தம் கேட்டபடி இருக்க,

நான் பயந்தேன்! என்னவர் cool! ஒரு சலனமும் இல்லாமல் ஓட்டியபடி வந்தார். இன்னும்

கொஞ்ச நேரத்தில் 'டொடக்'கின் வேகம் இரண்டாம், மூன்றாம் காலமாக மாறி, ஜதி

வேகமாக, என் இதயத் துடிப்பும் வேகமாக, திடீரென ஒரு டயர் முன்னால் உருண்டு

ஓடுவது கண்ணில் பட, அதே நொடியில், எங்கள் கார் குடை சாய்ந்த மாட்டுவண்டிபோல

வலப்புறமாகச் சாய்ந்து உராய்வுச் சத்தம் கேட்க, அப்போதுதான் புரிந்தது, முன்னால் ஓடுவது

எங்கள் கார் டயர் என்று! பின் என்ன! வண்டியை ஓரம் கட்டி நிறுத்தி, ஓடிய டயரைத் தேடி

எடுத்துவந்து, காரின் அருகில் வைத்துவிட்டு, காத்திருந்தோம். ஒரு ஈ காக்காய் இல்லை

என்பதுபோல அமைதி நிலவ, மாலை மணி ஆறை நெருங்கியது! மெதுவாக ஒரு குரங்குக்

கூட்டம் எங்களைப் பார்த்தபடி மரங்களில் தெரிந்தது! சாப்பிட ஒன்றும் கிடையாது; இருந்த

தண்ணீர் பாட்டிலும் காலி! என்ன செய்வது என்று தவித்தபோது மூன்று இளைஞர்கள்,

ஒரு ஜீப்பை ஓட்டியபடி, இறங்கும் பாதையில் வந்து, எங்களைக் கண்டதும் நிறுத்தினர்.

"எங்கள் பிரச்சனையைக் கேட்டதும், ஒருவன் இறங்கி காரின் அடியில் ஒரு கல்லை

வைத்து சாய்ந்து நின்ற காரை, சம நிலைக்குக் கொண்டுவந்து, டயரை டிக்கியில் வைத்துப்

பூட்டினான்; பின், அவர்கள் எங்களையும் எங்கள் பெட்டியையும் ஏற்றிக் கொண்டு,

விசாகை நோக்கி விரைந்தனர். இத்துடன் பிரச்சனை முடியவில்லை! வழியில் ஒரு

பெண் lift கேட்க, பரிதாபப்பட்டு அவளையும் ஏற்றிக்கொள்ள, பத்தே நிமிடங்களில் ஒரு

பெரிய கார் எங்களைத் துரத்திவந்து, வழி மறித்து நிறுத்தியது! கொள்ளைக்காரக்

கும்பலோ என்று நடுநடுங்கினேன்! அவர்களில் ஒரு கொடுவாள் மீசைக்காரன், அந்தப்

திரும்பினோம்! மறுநாள் ஒரு மெகானிக் எங்கள் காரை சரி செய்து, இரவில்

கொண்டுவந்து தந்தான். ஒரு மறக்க முடியாத திகில் அனுபவம் இது!" :fear:
 
Raji Madam

(Got married on 5 th November , spent very few days with my wife and returned to Calcutta; my brother in law brought my wife to Calcutta on 20 th Feb ) This is MUN Kadai Surukam

I got news on 22 Feb, that my father Expired..I had to rush back to Chennai with my wife and brother in law immediately.

Those days only Howrah Mail and some Janata Express were connecting Chennai Central and Howrah station.
No thkkal Scheme also there. As i had spent all money in setting up my family, no money to buy Air Ticket also although it was only about Rs 500/- only by Flight to Chennai from Calcutta.( i had to buy 3 tickets mean Rs 1500/- which is my one month salary at that time)
So we somehow managed to get a reserved Ticket by Howrah mail To Chennai Central ,through a tout paying him extra..

As this is mourning period, all brothers and a sister with their families are attending the various ceremonies, there was no separate room for us to spend!!!.

On return my Bengali Boss told me that the entire leave period of 15 days which i took to attend my father's last rites, will be treated as "with out pay" , Sema Adi..

So i lost about Rs 750/- from my Feb/March Salary and that made me very careful in spending, could not take my wife even to ordinary Hotel!!!

Shall i continue? readers pl tell...
 
Dear RR ji,

I only saw this thread today.

Let me share some stories.

I had only some 4 days leave for honeymoon cos at that time I was still working in the government hospital and leave was not easy to get.

I went to Penang for my honeymoon cos I like the place.

Ok back in 1999(I got married in 1999) Henna hand deco for marriage was only a rage among Indians.

Malays did simple designs only back then like just putting on the fingers and nails.

Ok so I was travelling to Penang and I had stopped on the highway restaurant to buy some drinks.

The guy at the restaurant was a Malay guy..when I was going to pay him he saw my henna designed hands and he screamed "OMG what has happened to your hands"

Everyone started looking at me.

Then I told him that I just got married yesterday and those are Henna designs.

He was "Oh so you are on your honeymoon" and started wishing me "Happy Honeymoon" in Malay so loudly!

I guess everyone in the restaurant must have known I am on my honeymoon.

But these days even Malays do up their hands with Henna they call it Bollywood Style Henna...so these days no one is going to scream seeing Henna stained hands!LOL
 
Dear RR ji,

In the hotel I stayed in Penang the swimming pool was on the 8th floor and it was bit scary cos it is at the edge of the hotel.

There was another Indian couple also on their Honeymoon.

The girl wore a decent swimsuit in the pool but still had jasmine flower on her head, her Thali on a yellow string,bangles, gold chain, Pottu too.

I was thinking to myself 'Oh traditional girl"...but after a while I realized that looks can be deceptive cos she was all the while hugging and kissing her husband in the pool right in front of everyone!

Still remember the jasmine flowers floating in the pool.

I am sure the hotel staff would have been real pissed with her for wearing flowers to the pool cos they would have to do extra cleaning.
 
Dear Sri P.J. Sir,

Please continue your interesting story. After yours, I will narrate my uninteresting HM story.

Dear K R S Sir,

So..... You are following this thread! :cool:

We are eagerly awaiting your story!

P.S: I shall check even during my vacation! :ranger:
 

Dear Renu,

In Tamil Nadu, the newly married girls have a passion to show off their BIG 'thAli charadu' in

bright yellow color with the huge knots protruding through the hair, lots of jewels and new

silk saree whenever they go out! But jasmine flower + swimming dress! :lol:

I am reminded of the newly wedded brides who visit my dad's clinic, with a high temperature,

who dress up as described above! :dizzy:

Although south Indian Tamils Girls have the habit of wearing Jasmine flower Malai, it creates a sort of flower pollution , and
single flowers are strewn all over the place. People have to walk over it and it creates a sort of feeling also.
When i was working in Calcutta,married woman were advised against wearing any such flower Malai, in the office.

In US, no one does it.

But It has a special effect in the evening for Honeymoon couple as well as young couple.
 
Thanks Sri.KRS Sir

To continue my real life story..

My accountant mama's family is very large, to manage his household expenses he had rented a Room in the top floor of his house to his brother in law.
That gentleman had two kids, very small one is 4 another is 2.
Both kids are sema vishamam, and that family was very clever in leaving their kids in our Room, whenever they find a chance!!
They used to make lot of noise using Empty Rice tin, hitting it with a stick all the time.
Imagine our position!! My wife was not working woman, and she had this unbearable problem all the time.

So one day, i told the mother of the kids that the sound from the empty tin noise is unbearable; immediately she cursed us.. "ungalukkum Kozanthai Porantha Theriyum"

The kids used to spend most of their time in our room only even after i return from the office!!!

Even if we close the door, they used to knock the door and come in without any permission!!

So very rarely we had time alone for us!!

Dear Sri P.J. Sir,

Now looking back, I was such a nasty kid! Now I realize, I must have ruined quite a few HMs! :)

To continue my HM story

Accountant mama's wife , an elderly woman used to come with a Tumbler almost every day to my wife an ask for a Full tumbler of Ghee, or Sugar, or Coffee powder , or some oil etc; She used to return the loaned item after 10 days or so, with same tumbler full measurement, but my wife was against giving any such loan to anyone as it becomes a regular thing.

Accountant mama used to come to our room every day very early in the morning to read Statesman Newspaper; He used to sit there itself, or just outside the room and by the time he finishes reading, I will not have time to read the newspaper in the morning!!!
He used to ask my wife for a Half of Tumbler of Coffee also every morning!!

As we were not trained to deal with these types of problem, my wife started pestering me to look for another home to move!!!

Unlike Chennai, there were no apartments in South Calcutta in those days.
All the houses were very old, with high ceilings, etc.
Also , the house owners normally demanded 6 months Advance payments, which was not possible by me to pay in those days.

We were fixed in this one roomed Home for the time being!!

Within 2 months of the Curse given by the Kid's mother, my wife conceived!!

I think there was song in Gentleman.. Nee orakannal parthle nan Pillathachi"

it has really happened in our case!!
