Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam!

No, It's not about the torrential rains, inundated roads or the abandoned match...

It's about how relationship-friendly rain is! A li'l more than a 'Hot cup of coffee'.
Yeah, this is the season you start with 'How about a hot cup of coffee' and discuss about everything under the universe with someone you are interested in building a relationship... But the heavy downpour has provided more opportunities than the just coffee.

1. First one obviously is, sharing the same umbrella. Either you hide yours or bring it out depending on whether the 2nd person has or doesn't have one.

2. God forsaken two-wheelers

2A. If you have a vehicle and she doesn't, pretend that the mechanic shop is in her street, push the vehicle and walk with her. (Un thalai ezhuthu!)
2A(1). Do not have your jerk-in. She'll hold the umbrella for you!!(if you are lucky and if shez interested)

2B. If she has the vehicle and it is conked...wherever the mechanic is, vazhiye illai...nee dhan thallanum!! but 2A(1) still applies.

2C. If she has the vehicle and it works fine (curse it) you still can say, 'Are you sure you'll be able to manage? Do you want me to come along?
2C(1). If your vehicle is stable, drive along and make sure she reaches safely
2C(2). If your vehicle is not trustable.. free ya vidu! you don't want her to curse you..
2C(3). If you are lucky, you can say, 'I'll be a pillion rider and guide you thru'. But, adhuku apuram, oru auto, share-auto, bus pudichu thirumbi varanum!!


3. Blessed 4-Wheelers

3A. If you/your dad has a car, magnanimously, give her a ride. Make sure you don't take your foot off the accelerator in inundated roads. It's embarrassing to make her push the car!

3B. If she has the car, you can ask for a ride. Pakkathile utkaandhu mazhai/traffic a vedikai paathutu poga koodadhu. Got to help her. Glass le mist form aagum, kerchief, tie, edhavadhu vechu thudaikanum..

3C. Of course, pray that she should take her foot off the accelerator! Irangi thallanum!

4. Pallavan maama

4A. She travels by Pallavan? she got a window seat? prachanaiye illai...stand by her seat to help her down/up the shutters.

4B. you still can use Point#1 after getting off the bus, or inside the bus..adhaan bus ellam ozhugudhae..

4C. Give your kerchief, tie to wipe the seat..or if you are lucky borrow hers
