meeting new people and reconnecting with old people, dude that is me that is literally me that's what I have been saying for the like one and a half years or two years, ya ya ya I mean the you all I mean at the start from my year one itself like you and Dhurga because you all were living the hall life you know


so you all didn't understand my point of view <tamil>நான் எனக்கு அப்ப இல்ல அது அப்ப</tamil> so I really got into it early for myself lah so, come finally you see my point of view I think Dhurga is still not at that stage she's she's now at the stage of like meeting new people she wants to meet new people lah


ya like she hasn't burnt out like the rest of us


ya I understand what you mean because it's like going through that awkward conversation at the start that's why I don't feel like , you you you have to give small talks to a bunch of people


oh okay


then do you all go out for lunches and stuff


wait you mean you you see your team once every two weeks


then what work do your colleagues do on the weekends, !huh! different parts of singapore during COVID


then


!wow!


ya actually this year Deepavali usually people will during the countdown Deepavali saturday <tamil>தானே:thaanae</tamil> like friday I saw like because I was on TikTok right I saw a bunch of videos that people posted they were counting down for Diwali that night ya ya everyone was screaming really everyone was actually standing near the where is that zone ah the traffic light


the you know the <tamil>ஜோதி:jothi</tamil> store <tamil>இருக்குடா அந்த:irukkudaa antha</tamil> lane <tamil>இருக்குல்ல:irukkulla</tamil> ya ya everyone was around there lah basically then everyone was doing a countdown and then there were screaming like happy Diwali and stuff there was no social distancing whatsoever


oh because they was a video that I saw on TikTok but in the days leading up to Diwali so like I think there was a lot of crowds ah then I saw a lot of it is what people actually posting about it on TikTok then actually I'm not sure but I'm not sure if there are indians or whatsoever but they were they were just like where is the social distancing and you know the comments section was fire man everyone was so against each other


ya then then the day after Deepavali right I saw a few when because <tamil>பட்டாசு லாம் வெடிச்சிட்டு:pattaasu laam vedichittu</tamil> I think people <tamil>பட்டாசு வெடிக்கிறாங்க:pattaasu vedikkiraanga</tamil> under the void deck or some err near like some pavilion you know like HDB blocks ah kind of I don't know which area but then I think the <tamil>பட்டாசு:pattaasu</tamil> the wrappers and everything were like all over the floor on the pavilion lah


it wasn't it wasn't cleared so so some guy he took a video of it and then he he he posted about his social and he was saying how like you all don't want to keep singapore clean you all anyhow like play with firecrackers and stuff and then never like clear up everything <tamil>அப்டினு கன்னா பின்னானு போட்டுருந்தனா:apdinu kannaa pinnaanu potturunthanaa</tamil> the comments section I died it's so funny


then we always have to like hop off hop off the place you know like to make sure not to touch it and then ya then the comment section were like fighting, ya it was so funny actually TikTok is amazing you see a lot of memes you see a lot of things you learn a lot of things


might as well just download man, dude okay


it's so entertaining TikTok is damn entertaining I mean especially I think the SG TikTok are a bit err not that nice lah but it's very funny I would say my algorithm is messed up it's a lot of SG girls and then they all look the same it's all basic outfits


oh ya ya yes I I have a lot in my collection I saved a lot, ya and it's all the same stories like literally every JC kid goes through the same issue it's like a universal universal like book or whatever that all like indian parents follow


ya I was just talking to my mom the other day also about like <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> culture <tamil>கு நிறைய:ku niraiya</tamil> things <tamil>தப்பா இருக்கே பேசிட்டு இருந்தேன்:thappaa irukkae pesittu irukkaen</tamil> then I was like talking about how <tamil>பொண்ணா இருந்து பொண்ணுக்கு வந்து நம்ம இதுல வந்து மதிப்பே இல்ல:ponnaa irunthu ponnukku vanthu namma idhula vanthu mathippae illa</tamil> you know because I was talking about how like err what was I saying ah


no it's a whole <tamil>வாரிசு:vaarisu</tamil> thing because my mom was ya ya because my my dad my mum was just talking about some fact that she saw on Facebook about how like every sixteen generations or something there are the bar the other the family line would stop apparently for someone I don't know she was saying something along the line what the hell this is like


then I was saying how technically it doesn't stop what like I mean you do have your kids your kids are still continuing the thing and then she say <tamil>இல்ல பையனுக்கு பொண்ணு பொறக்கல:illa paiyanukku ponnu porakala</tamil> you know that kind of thing then the generation will stop what then she was saying how <tamil>பசங்கனா வந்து வாரிசு மாதிரி வாரிசு வந்து இந்த உலகத்துல விட்டுட்டு போறேன்:pasanganaa vanthu vaarisu maathiri vanthu intha ulagathula vituttu poraen</tamil> then I'm like !huh! <tamil>பையன்ன மட்டும் விட்டுட்டு போறீங்களா:paiyana mattum vituttu poreengalaa</tamil> am I a joke to you


you are still leaving like your kids behind what you're still leaving like a mark behind you know, then then ya then she was talking about it like <tamil>அப்டி தான் இல்ல அப்டி தான் வேற என்ன அப்டி தான் இல்ல நம்ம:apdi thaan illa apdi thaan vera enna padi thaan illa namma</tamil> system <tamil>மே ரொம்ப தப்பா இருக்கு பொண்ணுங்கனா மதிப்பே இல்ல பொண்ணுன்னா வந்து:mae romba thappaa irukku ponnunganaa mathippae illa ponnunga vanthu</tamil> like because like especially the older generation stuff right you know if they would it's like women are like some trading objects for marriage


ya I think because she was saying how like oh because <tamil>பொண்ணுன்னா இவங்கள விட்டு வேற குடும்பத்துக்கு போயிருவ:ponnunaa ivangala vittu vera kudumbathukku poiruva</tamil> then I was like that's why you treat him like some trading object <tamil>ஏன் பொறந்த வீட்டுல இருந்து புகுந்த வீட்டுல போறதுனால:yaen porantha veetula irunthu puguntha veetula porathunaala</tamil> like a tradable object what so I'm not part of this family anymore so you are gonna say that after I married off that I'm not part of your family anymore


like what what kind of weird ass logic is that I don't get it ya you are you are throwing me away I don't know like last time right they they usually trade women like like how to say err ya


the guys will pay the dowry for the girl what <tamil>எங்க அப்பாவோட அம்மாலாம்:enga appavoda ammalaam</tamil> that's how that's what happened she was like ten years old man my my father mum was ten years old and the I think the ya my <tamil>அப்பத்தா:appathaa</tamil> lah basically my <tamil>அப்பத்தா:appathaa</tamil> was the youngest in the family she was ten years old and the family needed money so they got her married off at ten so that the the the the groom family would pay money for my <tamil>அப்பத்தா:appathaa</tamil> you know


is like pawning of your daughter ya ya I know that's what I'm saying


there was that is actually so messed up I know and it's like a lot of I was so disgusted by it man


it's kind of sad you know because we are the generation that is the changing one like we have to experience both sides


ya ya ya why we are pushing for a change you know, so is like technically saying about it like the next generation will be much better off


because we are so we are the ones that are like the generation that is a pivotal generation


support for both


ya depend on their parents


I wouldn't dictate but the thing is I will, ya my mom my mom says all the dialogue because <tamil>காசுக்கு இல்ல:kaasukku illa</tamil> but she like <tamil>உன்ன இவ்ளோ நாள் நான் வளர்த்து பார்த்துருக்கேனே நீ என்ன பார்க்க மாட்டியா:unna ivlo naal naan valarthu paarthurukkaenae nee enna paarkka maattiyaa</tamil> future leh


ya ya <tamil>கடனுக்கு நீ கொடுக்கனும்னு அவசியம் இல்ல நான் ஒண்ணும் அவ்ளோ மோசமான நிலைமைல இல்ல என்னய பார்த்துக்க எனக்கு தெரியும்:kadanukku nee kodukkanumnu avasiyam illa naan onnum avlo mosamaana nilaimala illa ennaya paarthukka enakku theriyum</tamil> I think I will be that kind of generation lah


community service


wait are your are your grandparents where do they live


so it's like it's very annoying in the sense that because especially when because you know why after she got sick she got a heart problem then they did the surgery right then then now she keeps acting now she's sick all the time so this year alone right I mean I understand ah she quite old now also I think she's also worried like she's going to like pass anytime soon


that's her first doctor lah <tamil>எங்க அப்பாவோட அக்கா:enga appavoda akka</tamil> is there anything <tamil>அவங்க தான் பார்த்துட்டு இருகாங்க:avanga thaan paarthuttu irukkaanga</tamil> but because of the situation because of COVID and everything like nobody can drop everything and show up but like my <tamil>அப்பத்தா:appathaa</tamil> doesn't understand that so what she does is that she will make them feel guilty in a way so she will usually like act as if like she's gonna die you know she has done that a few times she will get like


she will be like I I feel so sick I cannot eat I cannot do anything then she will she really won't eat and then if if the my <tamil>அத்தை:athai</tamil> her first daughter if my other like <tamil>அத்தை:athai</tamil> she won't eat anything ya then then she wouldn't eat it it's like to prove a point that she's sick you know like she can't do anything then she then my <tamil>அத்தை:athai</tamil> will have to call her entire family up


ya ya so they will say how like !wah! <tamil>அம்மாக்கு உடம்பு சரி இல்லனா ரெண்டு மகனும் வந்து பார்க்க மாட்டேன்காங்க:ammakku udambu sari illanaa rendu maganum vanthu paarkka maattaenkaanga</tamil> you know they will say stuff like that and ya ya then <tamil>ஊருல வந்து கெட்ட பெரு அப்புறம் எங்க அப்பாக்கு பெரியப்பாக்கு தான்:oorula vanthu ketta peru appuram enga appakku periyappaakku thaan</tamil> you know then then like sometimes when my father talks to my relatives in the <tamil>கிராமம்:graamam</tamil> and stuff right then they should they will always be like why you don't wanna go see your mum


which is kind of a bad thing for him lah so he is just like <tamil>நான் எப்படி ஊருக்கு போறது எல்லாரும் பேசுவாங்க எல்லாருக்கு முன்னாடியும் எனக்கு கெட்ட பெரு இத்தின நாள்: naan eppadi oorukku porathu ellaarum pesuvaanga ellaarukku munnaadiyum enakku ketta peru ithina naal</tamil> like like I was someone who took care of her for so so long until now


ya then she keeps being like I I'm I'm you all don't understand me then it's very funny because my mom is like <tamil>அவளுக்கு ஏழரை சனி நடந்துட்டு இருக்கு ஏழரை வருஷத்துக்கு பிறகு அவலாம் நல்லா தான் நடக்கும்:avalukku ezharai sani nadanthuttu irukku ezharai varushathukku piragu avalaam nallaa thaan nadakum</tamil> it kind of but it was it's kind of interesting because like when I did that last time like during the secondary school year that was like my <tamil>ஏழரை சனி:ezharai sani</tamil> period also


seven and a half years that like it's not screwed ah it's like a seven and a half years of learning lessons my <tamil>ஏழரை சனி: ezharai sani</tamil> actually ended exactly when J two ended


ya people say they will have they say that you will have the <tamil>ஏழரை சனி:ezharai sani</tamil> twice in your lifetime, so I had one so I will have another one when I'm in my forties or fifties or something which would be even worse


eh ya but actually wait if with age the impact will be worse eh, because like right now when you are younger you have nothing much to lose I would say but when you are older you have a lot more to lose because what happens to you affects not only you but like your family members and your family


so it's it's quite scary, ah


every child I mean


not everyone is like a emotional kid you know, not ya the ones that are not indian probably


you <tamil>நான் சொன்னேனா எங்க வீட்டுக்குள்ள இப்போ அன்னைக்கு நான் சொல்லிட்டு இருந்தனா எங்க அப்பா அம்மா குள்ள சண்டை போட்டுட்டு இருகாங்க என்:naan sonnaenaa enga veettukulla ippo annaikku naan sollittu irunthanaa enga appa amma kulla sandai pottuttu irukkaanga en</tamil> family <tamil>பெருசா உன்:perusaa un</tamil> family <tamil>பெருசான்னு:perusaanu</tamil> you know err the previous time we were calling you know the four of us <tamil>அப்போ:appo</tamil> was like saying how they keep fighting like between the family like both of them lah like about both of their families then if you ask me continuing for a long time so ya so what happened was that


because my recently like my father is a distinct whereby he to like cut out ties with like my mom side right it's just getting worse like he he is starting to analyse a lot of things he is starting to like <tamil>விசாரிக்கிறான்:visaarikkiraan</tamil> about <tamil>ஊருல இருக்க எங்க:oorula irukka enga</tamil> accounts <tamil>எல்லாமே:ellaamae</tamil> because <tamil>ஊருல இருக்கறப்ப:oorula irukkarappa</tamil> bank account and stuff is like a joint account between like my mum


between my mom and my <tamil>ஆயா அந்த:aaya antha</tamil> account <tamil>மட்டும் தான் இருக்கு:mattum thaan irukku</tamil> my <tamil>ஐயா:iyya</tamil> he doesn't have a separate account so it's like the <tamil>மாசாமாசம் எங்க மாமா வந்து காசு அனுப்புனாங்கன்னா:maasamaasam enga mama vanthu kaasu anupunanganaa</tamil> it goes into that account which is our account so then they will take out the money from there or whatever that my <tamil>மாமா:mama</tamil> sent then they will just spend whatever they have in cash lah so then my suddenly my dad is just like


so it's like they don't want to go just for the <tamil>ஜாதகம் பார்க்குறது:jaathakam paarkkurathu</tamil> they wanna they usually want to usually what people do is like like when they travel to other parts of states usually for another purpose you know


so <tamil>மொட்டை:mottai</tamil> they went for a <tamil>மொட்டை போடறதுக்கு:mottai podarathukku</tamil> right then ah so technically they were near <tamil>புதுக்கோட்டை:puthukottai</tamil> side, but then they didn't tell us that they were going so it's not like we could remind them that to bring it along they just went there and then they were like oh we are here like my mum because my mum calls them once in a while right and then they are like oh we are here then my mum was just like oh why you never tell me


they never say anything then they ya they didn't bring the <tamil>ஜாதகம்:jaathakam</tamil> also they didn't check then my dad was a bit like offended by it he just like she keeps telling my mum <tamil>உன் வீட்டுல உன்ன பத்திலாம் அவங்களுக்கு அவங்க யோசிக்க மாட்டேங்குறாங்க அவங்க உன்னை கை விட்டுட்டாங்க:un veetula unna pathilaam avangalukku avanga yosikka maattaenguraanga avanga unna kai vittuttaanga</tamil> my my dad my dad keep saying that to my mum and that pisses my mum off so much


ya ya like so my dad keeps like emphasising the fact that you are completely detached from this family already <tamil>உன்ன விட்டுட்டாங்க:unna vittuttaanga</tamil> then then sometimes I defend my mom lah I just say like I think that's not the case lah they do talk to my mom is just that recently with the addition of the newborn baby they have been very busy with her so I understand your point of view they they are really busy because they they do a lot of work you know they are like taking care of the house they like have to take care of the child also


so they spend their free time like playing with the baby and stuff lah so they don't like find the need to like call my mom and talk to them because when it was just my <tamil>ஆயா:iyya</tamil> and <tamil>ஐயா:iyya</tamil> living alone they were like really lonely what they were like really own lonely so they were like always expecting my mom to call and stuff but then now they don't call also so and then my mum also like doesn't really calls


I mean the <tamil>ஏமாத்துறான்:yaemaathuraan</tamil> that one is like a really past stories about the both of them my dad has been <tamil>ஏமாத்தப்படுறான்:yaemaathapaduraan</tamil> a lot


ya my dad was okay say like he said before like you know <tamil>நான் வந்து சிங்கங்காரி போய் நான் சிங்கங்காரி சுத்தம் பண்ண போறேன் நான்: naan vanthu singaari poyi naan singaari sutham panna poraen naan</tamil> farming <tamil>பண்ண போறேன்:panna poraen</tamil> gardening <tamil>பண்ண போறேன்:panna poraen</tamil> he always says that kind of things then he say how like err after he gets me and my sister married off then he will like go and like observe a vow of silence in some kind of like retreat I don't know


dude ya ya ya then my mom will just be like <tamil>என்னது இப்போ நீ என்னய காலைல என்ன எங்கயாவது கழட்டி விட்டுட்டு ஓடனும்னு தான் நீங்க யோசிச்சிட்டு இருக்கீங்க:ennathu ippo nee ennaya kaalaila enna engayaavathu kazhatti vittuttu odanumnu thaan neenga yosichittu irukkeenga</tamil> , which is which is which is very funny ah then I will just


I understand the need for like a retreat you know but but but the thing is my dad is the kind of personality that he likes to do everything on his own he doesn't he doesn't like to do things with people he likes to go out and enjoy about on his own you know he doesn't like to bring like the family members along like he doesn't like to bring my us he likes to do things on his own no I remember once we went to I think Bali if I'm not wrong


I remember like he said that he is gonna go buy something like near our hotel so like okay so my mom was in our room then so we the three of us we took a nap then when we woke up like a like one and a half hours later suddenly my dad was still not back then then we were just like what the heck <tamil>பக்கத்துல தானே போனாரு வாங்கிட்டு வரதுக்கு இவரு எங்க திடீர்னு போனாரு தெரியாத ஊருல எங்க போய்ட்டு வராரு:pakkathula thaanae ponaaru vaangittu varathukku ivaru enga thideernu ponaaru theriyaatha oorula enga poyittu varaaru</tamil> then the thing is like we couldn't call him also


ya my mum wants to do everything you know like together as a family but my dad is the type that he would just wants to do things by himself


oh ya one more minute


oh !wah! that was fast man ya my mum was just like


I think it's because like my mum also like she's very dependent on the family because she's like nothing else to do, ya ya ya it's it's I think housewife all have that if if you if you do something with your life like if you go out with your friends or like you


do something productive you know like work or whatever [lah] you you you wouldn't be thinking about wanting to spend time with your family you know all the time

he started to hate the fact that, to study and stuff so he never score well for his like national exam and stuff so degree <tamil>வந்து போனதுக்கு அப்புறம்:vanthu ponathukku approm</tamil> he was like, uh I don't like this degree <tamil>நீங்க எல்லாம் சொன்னது நாளே தான் நான் செஞ்சேன்:neenga ellam sonnathu naale thaan naan senjen</tamil> so he was being like very problematic like like a problematic teenager until now he still hasn't finish his degree but he kind of got like a full time job lah so


cause recently what he did was that he went to drunk


he went to drunk and drive then later he he drove his friend's car it's not even like our car you know, he drove his friend's car then he bang he crashed it but then he's like uh not injured at all eh but then he was drunk and driving, so like the friend was like you better pay for the car


like for the repair and stuff, so and it's quite expensive lah so like <tamil>எல்லாரும் வந்து என்ன பண்ணுறது யாருகிட்ட தள்ளி விடுறதுன்னு தேடிட்டு இருந்தாங்க:ellarum vanthu enna pannurathu yaarukitte thalli vidurathunnu thedittu irunthaanga</tamil> then my father was just like <tamil>எல்லாத்தேயும் கேட்டுட்டு:yellaattheiyum kettuttu</tamil> oh okay bye , ya


but ya that's like the hot topic that was happening for the past two weeks but then, ya basically his whole alcoholism problem is getting so much that he he's been drinking everyday and now like I hear his doing drugs also


like he, like <tamil>அந்த பொண்ணு வீட்டுக்கும் இந்த வீட்டுக்கும்:antha ponnu veetukkum intha veetukkum</tamil> but then he was in love with the girl until


until very recently but then I heard like they were like fighting or something then later one day I heard that he wanted to <tamil>நல்லா குடிச்சிட்டு:nalla kudichittu</tamil> uh he wanted to go to the girl's house and scold her something like that, I I don't know what


and like he would go and drink everyday like different friends because he doesn't like his own clique like kind of kicked him out, so everyday he will just be like looking for company to go and drink


and he drinks until it's like very bad then he, ya then I was just like, what the hell is this even like, why someone in a sane mind would even do this


dude they won't do that's the problem, they will they won't do it like they won't clear it at all they will just be like


so frustrating, but they are like very grown up already lah one one is like <tamil>நாற்ப்பது வயசு:naarppathu vayasu</tamil> or something like that so


that's another story, but I don't know what


ya on like my father's side we are pretty close lah, like I am not, that's never going to happen so let it just be there , ya oh my god I see a very nice christmas tree it's really very nice

you can't do the same shit in singapore it's totally not suited for singapore weather, but their clothes are really so nice like , ya it's so disgusting like why are you so proud of having like


FBT as your dress code, it's a national dress code oh my god you all got to like get your fashion game together you know, school <tamil>உக்கு:ukku</tamil>

which is why I dress up for schools then my friends will always be like why you dress so nice to school then I'm like I'm from business , , ya, I like, ya


I kind of but then, exactly, eh I did uh I did a few times, I think I repeated like my long skirt or like my pencil skirt and some shirt


I, my tops are always different but then my bottoms cause I only have a few bottoms, ya ya, but my tops are always like I will mix and match my top


I mean, if you think about it right it's it's like going to work has given me this opportunity to wear clothes that I have not worn for years


ya, ya exactly so like it kind of suits the work environment so I'm just like why not


you know I bought like I have like polo tee's also but then <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> polo tee <tamil>எல்லாம் அதிகமா போட மாட்டேன்:ellam athigama poda maatten</tamil> then I had like short sleeve shirts but I don't wear it often like for casual but then I can wear it to work because it suits the mood, I'm like, I love work for dressing up


it's smart casual lah, it ya my boss comes in like polo tee's and jeans with like Stan Smith, dude he dresses like like he dresses up like a school boy and he acts like a teenage boy so I'm just like


dude I think the way he acts I feel like it's very childish then I'm just like <tamil>இவர் எல்லாம்:ivar ellam</tamil> boss ah and you know he's a very big sized guy you know when they say like taller guys a bit stupid ya he's like that, I just feel like some, like taller guys are like a bit they act a bit more stupider and dumber


but ya okay he's not stupid he's really smart like <tamil>அவர் வந்து நீ:avar vanthu nee</tamil> concepts <tamil>எல்லாம் சொன்னேன்னா:ellam sonnennaa</tamil> and then he drafts very fast, and the way he presents to other people it's like amazing you must learn presentation skills from him there's so much like charisma in it


but then I was ya but but then <tamil>அவர் சின்ன கொழந்தை மாதிரி அப்பப்ப கத்துவாரு:avar chinna kozhantha maathiri appappa katthuvaaru</tamil> then I'm just like what the hell is happening like <tamil>இன்னைக்கு காலைல வரும்போது கூட:innaikku kaalaile varumbothu kooda</tamil> good morning good morning <tamil>ன்னு மூணு தடவ சொல்லிட்டு அவர்:nnu moonu thadave sollittu avar</tamil> like he will say good morning to every row he goes to


then when he goes to the table then he will be like good morning the whole office I'm just like, I'm just like what, , then he will like sit in his chair then roll around his chair also then I'm just like dude this guy is my boss


I I like, it is it is I'm not I like I I got a bit of a daddy daddy thing for him but then I, oh <tamil>ஆமால்ல:aamaalle</tamil> but ya but I he's he has a child everytime I every time I realise that he has a child I'm just like okay


you know like today he was asking me about like we were talking about my contract extension then <tamil>நான் வந்து நான் பாட்டுக்கு சொல்லிட்டு இருக்கேன் தெரியுமா எனக்கு:naan vanthu naan baatukkum sollittu irukken theriyuma enakku</tamil> school leh <tamil>இருந்து:irunthu</tamil> timetable <tamil>இப்ப வரும் இந்த மாறி இருக்கும்:ippa varum intha maari irukkum</tamil> then <tamil>அவர் பாட்டுக்கு திடீர்னு சிரிக்க ஆரம்பிச்சுட்டாரு:avar baatukkum thideernu sirikka aarambichuttaaru</tamil> I was just like, why is he suddenly ya why is his smiling then I was just like


I was so confused but then I was like continue talking, I was like oh <tamil>நான் ஏதாவது சொன்னேன்னா:naan yethaavathu sonnenaa</tamil> but but the thing is I feel like both of us have cultural differences, the way I react to things and the way he reacts to things, or the way he conveys things is much, different <tamil>அவர் வந்து எது எந்த:avar vanthu yethu yentha</tamil> task <tamil>நீ பண்ண சொன்னாலும்:nee panna sonnaalum</tamil> he will be like can you please <tamil>அப்படிந்து அந்த:appadintu antha</tamil> please eh <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> like he will say pleasse to every single thing he asks you to do like there's a lot of


then younger market that's got a career couldn't what individuals here the parlour follow like the how you just wanna buy barley filing we've entered lasagna, like I think even if they have right there all housewives also what


so for them it's gonna be hard to like coordinate shit and stuff, he's like south african that looks indian or something that's very weird but the choice is but the thing is


then like she would keep asking night err you know how to putting in a funnel boarding air so that she knows that we are not like dying without her presence, we are fine like we can handle, interesting


what do you do do do we spend time cut and clapping but I don't know how long they regretful, at the start, ya okay let's talk


one two three


hello I am fine how are you


okay you met hindu right, I mean you didn't meet hindu hindu messaged you ya


where was this like when did she message you, oh, okay


december, or at least january lah but december is a good, time, err mid january


uh I am not sure what date but <tamil>எனக்கு ஒரு:enakku oru</tamil> module <tamil>தான் இருக்கு:thaan irukku</tamil> did I tell you what's the module, so, yesterday, is because I was very tired like , morning nine thirty was my bidding


adding modules so, and nine o'clock I wake up then I was like okay let's add so the module is is a four K module so that means the the higher level module uh so four hours, lesson it's one of those


and it's called defining nation india in the eve of independent, so the whole module is about india, nice right ya and it's my err FYP mentor


he's a professor, #tapsi mathur#, like <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> actress Tapsi, , ya, ah


what was I saying err ya so because of that so I choose to study the whole day because, okay uh let me continue then you continue so


do you have any dancers I can speak to for my final year project because uh <tamil>எனக்கு:enakku</tamil> I need Bharathanatyam dances, who are, , not necessarily still doing Bharathanatyam but they got influences from it


and maybe they do fusion or contemporary, or you know they based of Bharathanatyam to do whatever projects and whether they infused like contemporary concepts inside, uh their dance, in and whether they use uh mythological stories or they don't


ya so okay I know Kavita Krishnan and Logan like to use stories, and Kavita Krishnann is not exactly Bharathanatyam now she does, ya, so


ah


okay then err he said he would ask Aishwarya ya but he I think maybe she never get back to him or whatever, uh then, one more uh there's this girl called #mei fei# from NJC you might know her


I think she's our age or a bit older she is so she she's, is a chinese girl, does she know you


ya, yes,


ya, so , how I knew about her is this ruby person did a live Instagram video with her talking about race and stuff in singapore and, like how she feels as like so called outsider learning Bharathanatyam, so I asked Logan do you know #mei fei# like personally because I saw him comment on her live then he said oh ya then I said can you like see if you can link us up


ya, ya then ah he said okay then he pass me the contact and I was supposed to meet her this week I think but she's working full time I think, so she said she'd be, I think so part time or full time I forgot


so she said okay I <tamil>அடுத்த வாரம்:aduttha vaaram</tamil> monday, uh most probably will meet lah so I'll probably meet her so yesterday I met ruby and lucky you know usually I'm not awake in the morning right I was only awake because of the bidding she at nine thirty she message me she's like oh uh actually today uh if you can we can meet at Aliwal arts centre


then I was like okay sure, uh Bugis err #kampong glam# area, is where I used to do the, no no no, not Dakota is near


err arab street Haji lane, around there ya, so uh I met her lah I say okay lets meet around three because I wanted to like rest ah damn tired, so I slept for like forty five minutes like that then I woke up then I faster go, then I spoke to her end up we talking for two hours two and a half hours


ya but her views <tamil>வந்து ரொம்ப:vanthu romba</tamil> ah, I guess a traditionalist wouldn't be able to, agree with her uh understand her, but she is <tamil>ரொம்ப:romba</tamil> cool because uh


so she's her story is okay I'm gonna tell you so that I also remember when I'm writing my article, her, Bharathanatyam she did uh she she learned as uh indian dance in secondary school and primary school


and who taught her was <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> #vijaya nadesan#, okay so uh <tamil>அதுலே வந்து:athulae vanthu</tamil> okay she a lot of interests and all that then she wanted to continue she went to uh


uh told her okay maybe let's do, maybe you should learn uh in Apsaras under #meera sathyarangam# so she learned under #meera sathyarangam# then she was forced to like , like pick up faster lah because their school is very into uh the performances and productions side Apsaras ya so she was performing and all that and then after a few years she went to Kalakshetra


yes, so Kalakshetra in india lah, there's only one what, so <tamil>அங்கே வந்து:angae vanthu</tamil> she go one and a half years she did she got diploma certificate and the she's like okay


okay so, she left lah after that, so she didn't uh she didn't continue in Kalakshetra, so her, oh


from the scratch because Kalakshetra is like you have to learn from scratch


ya and meet people everything ya ya and she did a diploma just for the sake of it lah in tourism or something hotel management , but I guess she was super passionate about dance, I honestly I wish I understood how these people work


so their <tamil>காசு:kaasu</tamil> and all is dependent of part time work, and dance gigs, ya, ya


maybe the artistic directors, the doesn't know, I think so lah


ya, because for you is just to learn dance for them is this is what I want, dance is dance is my life


see and I guess she was good at it lah ya but so is very interesting because <tamil>அவங்களுக்கு:avangalukku</tamil> like she don't, uh she don't like the structure of Bharathanatyam and she says you don't get the hiearchy like why is it we must uh


why is it that we must have like that gap between the teacher and the student like she prefers the collaboration part of things, and her technique is like, she's a very yoga and there's this thing called somatic movement


so ya so she focuses on the movement she was trying to explain to me and I also got confused but she showed to me lah so I was like okay show it to me ya, like she said is in their dance is not like okay so


how we do in Bharathanatyam <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is like that right shoot up <tamil>பண்ணுவோம்:pannuvom</tamil> right, for for hers is what they focus is the movement towards that, so I I'm gonna I'm gonna do like ah yes yes yes yes so like it's not focus on holding like that straight but like okay maybe like uh like a bit loose


, it's a bit like flowy, ya so hers she doesn't like to use the word fusion she would say like hybrid, sort of thing hybrid that means like


I guess, how she usually tells her in her interviews and all is that it's a combination of the eastern techniques so indian dance and all that, there's romantic, and her yoga lah, so it's not a, uh


and the choreography is very interesting it's like a lot of improvisation that means on the spot whatever you do, then they keep it as the choreography that's not how we work but, ya


correct yes, she's cool lah, , so, uh so I guess like the traditional people may not be able to understand her style but she has her group of fans eh


, and she works with a lot of err non indian artist now so she's the independent artist now, in singapore ya and so after Kalakshetra what she did she come back singapore, then she started travelling on her own


then she just, she just collaborate with whoever she meet, through basking so like wear Bharathanatyam costume and then, you know like in america or whatever


ya that kind of thing ya so you just collaborate with people do shows and then get contacts lah network, it's quite amazing right like very brave eh,


all hard earned money lah all the part time work whatever just put it in, and it's not like she's travelling for like luxury or for fun you see, travelling because like really I want to do something with my life that kind of thing, and I I I feel like she's from a normal family background I from what I can guess


more shows lah like she's teaching uh she does one on one classes of uh for there's this thing called body conditioning so like


oh what


K but ya hers is just like like yogaish ya you know so like based on like the client let's say you want to do


core strengthening, I want to improve uh flexibility, then she will do the programme according to you lah, then she does dance workshops she participates in workshops or gives them eh


uh, ya lah but like of course is not free lah, ya so can DM her lah and ask like how does it work and all that I think she probably quite chill


thirty one, , ya, she very like free and easy like, err


very modern, sort of person lah so, ya, very open ya, like in their one meeting I can tell so much, you know who is Aarthi'S uncle, ya so they these two they did a show


called Purushi did you hear about it, so they tried to show like about how uh, yes it was for pink dot, yes and that's the whole reason why I even wanted to interview, because I wanted to do about gender sexuality in Bharathanatyam


ya so their her idea their idea was uh Bharathanaatiyam leh uh <tamil>எப்படி:eppadi</tamil> err, uh uh a devotee can have romantic and sexual love for a deity


ya because I mean it's like how we can actually interpret whatever text in whatever way we want right but what, older elite families or traditionalist will teach you is like the devotees like below and the deities above and it's like oh Devi is your mother is your


err or daughter, it's always like someone respectable that kind but why can't it be like my lover, or like ya so that's why I asked her about the show and all that and, so it wasn't like pure Bharathanaatyam


so it's like her style, so she and Aarthi like they they they can like vibe with each other lah so she they did together, and ya so before this they did another show called Saki in Saki it was Ruba err sorry ruby and #rupa lavanya#


ya ya so those two did together, ya so they try to like so she was trying explaining to me how they tried to bring a lot of tension, like so the audience can feel it but then they don't touch


so there's a lot of the the sexual tension, then then she's like is he did you thinking in that way it's already like you know the male gaze the the misogynistic thing for you all fun right to see two girls like doing those things what if it was two guys she I think she ask him back then he was like okay okay ya


then she said no no but that was not the point of it it's just to bring the tension because the tension is more fun and interesting exciting than to break it with like something going on on stage and so they didn't have like music music it was <tamil>ஸ்ருதி பெட்டி:shruthi petti</tamil> and this this singer you might know her her name is Adithi


she has a very nice voice, she she sang lah, I regret lah that I don't don't never go for all these shows like, then I was telling her like I wish these things were a bit more publicised lah then I I asked her like


err, what is that but are you happy that this thing is a small there's a small crowd that likes your shows instead of like a mass market then she say ya I like it that it's small like like it's a small community, it's like a niche niche area


ya because, then it won't be special anymore what if it's like a major ya and apparently like she likes to go for all those like underground performances I think like those weird spots you know they don't have it in a black box or whatever


okay so that is ruby, now you may proceed with Grab driving, or whatever, !huh!


!fuh!


why you not interested


eh eh faster faster okay okay I give you task <tamil>நீ வந்து:nee vanthu</tamil> okay you find that find take out your old albums


, what shall we make, Lochana bring, uh Lochana I think she has Jenga


ask her bring, then I bring my cards, I love carrom board it's just nice four of us


!huh!, okay


, , oh my god Ananya you know my Shein clothes was such a fail


it's so loose it can't even fit you, like the white dress was like that


okay see wait ah


do you see, the top part, it's like that, the body part <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> okay, so pretty


above my knee ah, it's short it's short, earpiece


would you like to buy it from me, I check, I mean I don't mind lah


I was gonna send it back but need to pay for shipping and apparently it can cost up to twenty dollars, you want you can buy everything from me okay so, this otheer dress, I will tell you how much


now I got no dress for christmas, yes okay <tamil>இது வந்து:ithu vanthu</tamil> uh, that's I think it's the most ex lah the rest is


I don't know, [orh], but I got it last wednesday so


these other dress okay it is, all the way down and there's a slit okay but okay can you see the front part, it's like that right and it's like, it's not, like


you understand, this part is out, because <tamil>நான் எனக்கு ஒண்ணுமில்லை:naan enakku onnumillai</tamil> , but but this part is tight I mean it's like, works like a free size so here will gather


ya so you can try this also like I wanted to send back everything to be honest, okay one more, this one is like flow


this one you might be able to maybe you you might not wear in singapore but uh, you can, okay so this is a romper


ya so the <tamil>காலு:kaalu</tamil> part is a bit, if you want to buy this you can snip snip it off and wear as a short dress also


like this part is just like that what, because, so ya this one is, ya, no lah


then the skirt also I need to alter I think I will keep the skirt lah


ya, one more <tamil>சட்டை:sattai</tamil> I show you, is the only thing worth keeping


so this is the the knotted tank top, so it will stop like here, I have to alter I try to do


like a bit here this side because I like very, no flesh, yup, I'll probably use it lah ya okay so next week is <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> Prashad birthday and I wanted to like look nice


like ya glam, but, I don't have anything nice now so I I either have to wear the black dress that I always wear, the one to Lochana'S twenty first


or the white dress uh the white dress that I wore to prom, but I want to buy something new, so I wanted to check uh Pomelo like very like plain eh


so I want to go shopping like, the only place that usually your clothes fit is H&M


online like I really need to put in a lot of effort and time, I realised I really hate shopping online, ya because of my size issues and


like must measured then must see !wah!, ah, yes, yes


ah, and okay, shein the sizing will be really off like for me and for some of our friends like Divya all my friend Divya, she had to return back everything, and


maybe I don't mind paying for the quality lah so maybe I just screw buying cheap clothes just buy the expensive one but at least I can use it I can for a long time, or I need to depend on Shopee but now I got no time for Shopee because I need to wait for the delivery


Sureka used to buy from Shopee, and you know there's this super famous design, uh of top that means <tamil>இங்கே வந்து:inga vanthu</tamil> parsley parsley


then here will be a bit like like ribbed uh, the, you know what I mean, you follow her right ya I tried to wear that top she has three of it, all doesn't fit, it falls off my shoulder


and and for her already is loose, so imagine


ya, so so, ah, no so now I don't know where to shop I very sad


my whole family Kaopeh me my mother say I buy ugly clothes, not say ugly like she say it doesn't fit you then I like okay then I scold her back then we started fighting, so that was funny


and I cannot, like pass the because, she has become, how [dey], she say she just eat only I asked her


increase or decrease, so ya <tamil>நான் எங்கே போய் சட்டை வாங்குறதுன்னு நீயே சொல்லு:naan enga poi sattai vaangurathunnu neeye sollu</tamil> and I don't wanna


because I always wear super like small or whatever that's why I wanted to try more designs end up all so big, if you find anything on ASOS or Zalora please help me find clothes, put smaller size


ya, but I think I don't have a choice, now but I feel like I don't have a choice


ya because I realise we buy from this kind of shop also it won't last


I think machine I give my mother to wash, can you help me find dress also


and I really got ask her to wear jumpsuit, okay <tamil>அது:athu</tamil> quite similar to my size


a little fleshy maybe like I don't know on her arms or legs ya but how is she able to find clothes


, ya but but <tamil>எனக்கு தெரியும்:enakku theryium</tamil> uh there are certain this one she buy from, Taobao, ya and some of it is like okay maybe from those US websites whatever during sale buy


but, ya how how did they manage like so they so smart in their shopping I also want to be like that


I I feel like I just don't have the skills to I don't have the patience, let's just say that


, like okay <tamil>அது கொஞ்சம்:athu konjam</tamil> skinny right and then when she wear like tube tops with those long pants it looks very like nice and decent it don't look, like


what I never wear tube top what, ya ya so that's why I want to find those kind of things but I am, I have not been able to


ya that's Surekha'S lah I think it's Shopee, eh okay you just do me a favour over the next this week find on ASOS or Zalora like for dresses, my size, I wanted to buy white lah but


and my MDS dress you know my twenty first one, that one also is they buy and then we altered, like my mother used Surekha as the body type and then she


okay now, yes yes I want also, okay whenever you see you just share with me because I'm in need of clothes brother


ya so I was thinking let's just burn the money buy at least for a long while I will have, something


ya I just wanted to one shot buy and then don't shop for awhile for clothes, do you get bored I don't lah


eh why ASOS ah their smallest size is size two, I'm a zero, oh I found something, is twenty nine ninety nine


and it's just this


for that do I have to pay twenty nine ninety nine


ya that's why I was thinking should I just take up the fifteen per hour job but it's really not something I wanna do, and okay this month I'm really very low


ya I mean I myself hate them, not worth it,


can you send me, if you find it


no dance, finished already, for the year, , K

all the clothes, they come into uh the people give for thrifting right they're always like checked like for damages or like the the quality and stuff, Shruthi went to this shop at far


far east plaza I mean her reason is also because sustainable shopping lah, because you know you're not making like you know making new clothes damages the environment right, ya so like if you just use the same clothes over and over again then you're decreasing the damage to the environment but

four days, audit ah


I mean I mean that's the most similar one I can think of, and ya so I hope I survive and also I'm having a year end break and <tamil>எனக்கு வந்து:enakku vandhu</tamil> twenty third to twenty third december to third january <tamil>எனக்கு வந்து:enakku vandhu</tamil> holiday


what is that, (hmm) because because you were speaking like proper tamil I don't know proper tamil


because I can't even like I couldn't even focus ya like I forgot the first half was so hard and also I was so sleepy


no in my group ya but there, oh there was like one hundred and thirty people today


ya interns, why is that a lot


err they're all in financial sector so there's like a lot of departments so I uh, I'm in the public sector, come for your company and find it then we will audit your accompany


you know there's a lot that's what I mean public sector is government sector what, so, you know but we have public sector we have healthcare we have transportation we have manufacturing we have so many departments so I'm in public sector and manufacturing


no <tamil>எல்லாமே:ellaamae</tamil> my department when <tamil>வந்து:vandhu</tamil> like <tamil>மூணு:moonu</tamil> departments <tamil>மூணு:moonu</tamil> different departments


ya so <tamil>நடிக்காத:nadikkaatha</tamil> so ya so we have to do sub categories lah, ya so now I think like I think after this week (hmm) <tamil>எங்கள வந்து கூப்பிடுவாங்க:engala vandhu kooppiduvaanga</tamil> like err must go to client's place


err no I think it's client's place, because we have to go down and see their FS and all, do you know what's FS, I mean I have to show off my true knowledge that I have


err <tamil>எனக்கே:enakkae</tamil> I thought like I mean like I was thinking like forty to fifty, in a <tamil>என்னோட குழுவில் வந்து:ennoda kuluvil vandhu</tamil>


so <tamil>நிறைய:niraiya</tamil> <tamil>நிறைய:niraiya</tamil> departments <tamil>லாம் இருக்குல்ல:laam irukkula</tamil> so <tamil>அவங்க வந்து எல்லோரும் ஒரு:avanga vandhu ellorum oru</tamil> around ten to twenty so in a breakout session also they only had like about fifteen err seven eight of us in each group


!wah! the I had like so many breakout sessions you know like within a day I had like about five breakout sessions


so like some of them some of us were like more outspoken some were not so it's like I mean I was trying to understand what's going on, err we we had the local universities and also the private ones


ya ya <tamil>எல்லோரும்:ellorum</tamil> singapore leh, I think I would say about ninety eight percent, like singapore maybe maybe there is


were overseas like I'm not err hundred percent sure about it, [orh] they're overseas you know just like you know there's university of london there are so many different universities, err no no no as long as you are taking like in the english field you can apply for it lah

uh like <tamil>பெர் இருக்கும்ல:per irukkumla</tamil> so like okay err like the questions, uh


uh other meeting <tamil>சொல்வாங்கல:solvaangala</tamil> breakout room you know like be prepared you'll call upon anyone, (hmm) I mean I didn't understand the first part of the like first part of lesson because firstly I was half sleepy and it was a bit heavy for me I and the second part I understood a bit way better than the first one but then the thing is many people have taken like audit they've either like uh interned as an audit or they've taken audit modules in university


yup that's right I'm a newbie in this industry


ya that's true lah, then after that uh I have to like you know


what I mean but then the thing is they're expecting us to know like audit audit <tamil>பத்தி எனக்கு கொஞ்சம் தெரியும்:paththi enakku konjam theriyum</tamil> but then there's a lot of us who do not know like in the group <tamil>வந்து:vandhu</tamil> like none of us has interned as audit auditor before

I work with the same people lah, so I think this whole course will be like that working with the same people, err my group people half are from my university

so they solve the issues then they will raise the issue back to us to retest to see if the problem still exists so the problem <tamil>திருப்பி:thiruppi</tamil> exist <tamil>ஆச்சுன்னா:achunaa</tamil> like <tamil>பண்ணி:panni</tamil> you just like close it and then like put it as resolve lah


yup I mean because it was from the begin initial ya like initial stage what
