| It's back!! |
It's back!!! What is? The proton saga, dear people. Yes, good ol' WCR 8671 is back. Sudah kembali. Fan chor. Sorry, no tamil here, my muhibah spirit not that strong. So to all my inachis and tambis and anes and machas out there, forgive me, indian-style. Which means either a feast involving half the world or a co-ordinated dance and song with a quarter of the world as backup dancers in a wide open field with a tree in the middle for the two main character to prance around.
I've always wondered where they find these beautiful open fields. They ALWAYS have just ONE tree planted right in the middle. ALWAYS. Do all indian movies use the same open field? Did all the hindu film producers get together one day and say, "ok" (remember to insert indian accent here. Or translate to tamil) "we'll put our money together and buy a hill. Then we'll plant just ONE palm tree in the middle. No no, just one, and it MUST be a palm tree." Forget the fact that palm trees don't usually grow on wide open fields, it MUST be a palm tree. Hm. That monologue sounded a LOT funnier in my head. Just think Russell Peters ok? Yes, I can hear you laughing now...
My tamil vocabulary consists of all of ONE word (For some reason all the "ones" in this post are in bold).
"Sapede!" which means, "eat!".
Big surprise huh? hahaha. Oh, and "ingaporinge," which, to this day, I am not sure whether it's a proper tamil word or it's just a phrase I used whenever I was making fun of my indian friends. Cause it sounds like what a random indian guy would say to another random indian guy.
"DEY! ingaporinge?!"
"Sapede!"
See? Sounds like a full conversation right there.
Back to the silver proton saga that's been pockmarked with rust stains from last century and has random bits of plastic falling off. Just today, the rain guard on the passenger's side flew off while I was driving for no apparent reason. It just flew off! But as a whole it's in one piece now (well it was in one piece before this, just a severely dented one piece). For those of you who have no idea to what it is I'm referring too, scroll down to the blog titled "oops". Full explanation there, with appropriate action sequences and macabre reflections on life.
So er yes. It's back, rickety, squeaky, bumpy as ever, but it's back and it's moving. In a straight line. As long as I keep hold on the steering wheel. Now I have a sense of closure over the entire incident.
Peace washes over me. Without any hindi music or backup dancers. |
