City Girls vs Oorkara girls


By the title I mean city born-brought ups and small town girls who migrate to a metropolitan city.
 I have observed that city girls do look down upon the small townies. They have a bunch of reasons for it. So I thought I would probe the matter.

Personally, I get two types of remarks, one, "Ungala paathale theriyuthu oorkara ponnu nu", the other the opposite. I presume there are some basic differences between both,

City girls Small town girls




Bold outlook Simple outlook
Regular at beauty parlours Beauty parlours are just eyebrow studios
Super-comfortable in the presence of male coworkers or students Trying to get comfortable with male companionship
Carry skinny, tight outfits with ease Comfortable, probably old-fashioned dress-sense
Carry a bag full of cosmetics Carry just water bottles
Strong language skills Strong subject matter
Treat mongers
Feeling self conscious in an office treat


Making funny faces in selfies Keep-calm-and-click kind of selfies


The harsh truth is, these small townies are transforming slowly into the city type, some with their own consent, others unthinkingly. I see massive make overs, total wardrobe change etc. This may be quite agreeable but not so healthy for a society which tries to balance the two types. This may stop when our small townies begin to think,

  • Being fashionable alone is not beauty. There is more to it.
  • Being articulate alone is not  being intelligent.
  • Male companionship alone is not being social.


Having said all that, I like the small town girls who do not get intrigued by the city brought-ups, and who own up to what they are. Have you noticed, only small townies try and change, but the city ones never try to pose as a villager, for that is not progress, they say.

Disclaimer: Well my post may be biased, and actually is completely subjective, a generalization of the case. But whatever...

  1. I agree with your opinion in this case. Oor kaara ponnus are my first choice. The same reason is why we are together now. May be Oor kara paiyan is your choice too.

    I'm sure why you made it singular.

Simple, yet poignant lyrics (II)

I've got a knack of discovering pleasant songs, excellent movies, endearing books very late in time, sometimes even after it's fad fades away. One such song is Perunthil nee enaku... The beauty of this song is that it relates to some very simple, unnoticed but pleasing moments in a our day to day life. The duet is of two people who sing about  what they mean to each other. There are some cute imperfections in Madhushri's tamil pronunciation but the male singer makes up for all that. Duh! Why do I even have to annotate the lyrics? It speaks for itself. ;) Perunthil nee enaku jannal oram Pin vasal mutrathil ne tulasi madam Vidumurai natkalil pallikoodam Vilayattu pillaigalin chella kobam Aalilla nalliravil ketkum padal Anbe anbe neeye (hmmm....)

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

2 States - Oh please, no!

I don't know why I chose to read '2 States' over 'The Subtle Knife'. My copy of 'Subtle Knife' is sleeping in the shelf. I wish I had finished it off instead of reading this one. M' Okay let me tell why this book was so insipid, [beware of spoilers hehe!] Possible reasons why I picked up this book: 1. Thought it would be a light-read. 2. It involved IIM A 3. Curiosity to know the speciality of Tamil girls 4. Heard it is a slapstick comedy [ which is not, in any way] Top reasons why I disliked it: 1. Cliched plot with stale scenes. [Ithellam nanga 'Poovellam Kettupar' la ye pathutomm, Chetan!!] 2. Making fun of South-Indians went overboard. [where Punjabis were never hurt in any dialogues, a very feeble mocking was clear] 3. Nothing less than a Bollywood drama, too filmy! 4. Totally predictable. 5. Ananya herself [there're are a multitude of reasons to hate her, which I won't enumerate here] 6. The feeling of reading his p
