Thumbaka dhaaney Ambi Lambaano!!

Today the first class compartment in train was unusually crowded and there was only one seat which was vacant.I occupied that one,enjoying the song "KalyaaNa then nilaa"(Some puNNiyavaan was listening to Suriyan FM on loudspeaker).Me flipping thru "If Tommorrow comes" for the Nth time.Many don't appreciate,but I enjoy each n every plot whenever I read.I opened the book n skimmed,trying to remember the page no/scene I last read,coz my bookmark was missing.Suddenly a voice near me said "HI".I almost jumped from my seat and turned to check out who it was...huh!Chamathu kodam "Ambi"(as we call him)

Well,God knows vot his real name is,but he reminds me of "Anniyan" Ambi.Ofcourse,u can make out 6 vidhyasam between celluloid and the real one.

Anniyan Ambi | Train Ambi
Kondai | No Kondai
Sreechoornam | Sandhanam+Kungumam
Vakeel | Engineer
Iyengar | Iyer
Seen in Luna | Seen in train
Movie-la avan rules pesi kazhutha aruppaan | Ivan pesiye kazhutha aruppaan

I don't even know who he is,apart from those few times when I'd seen him while travelling.But I have a pre-conceived notion that he is irritating n vexatious.(Though I don't have the bad habit of judging people by looks,this fella was an exception)

Me:Hi

I generally get up from my seat only after the train pops into Mambalam Station.Today,I decided to scoot once the train entered into Saidapet.

Me:Sari naan kelambaren.
Ambi:Ok!C u.Bye!

Once out of the train,I heaved a sigh of relief.Yammmaaaa!!I observed that inspite of minimal conversation from my side,he kept on chatting endlessly.I've heard about old maamaas n maamis going on and on like this.But for the first time in my life I'd met a youngster(that too a guy) who could prattle non-stop :)) In retrospect,I feel I could have been politer in this harmless conversation :(
