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.

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. ;)

Spark + Magic = Love spell ??!!??!!

There was this talk going on in one of our extra-curricular sessions about 'RELATIONSHIPS'. Well, a few talked about their friends and the kind of relationships they'd had in their past and the regular crap. And then rose a gentleman amongst us and started talking about spark, magic and all that. The obscureness in his speech interested me to a good deal and moreover I strongly agreed with what he told. This is what he told[in my own words of what I could perceive] "All may tell the various reasons for their love, and why they liked their friends, but the fact is that there’s always this spark, or hidden magic that attracts people and make them fall in love or even friendship. The magic strings each other and builds the bond." [Seemed he'd been hit by a thunderbolt like what happened to Michael Corleone due to Appollonia Vitelli in Godfather ;)] And the person who was heading the conference did not agree with him[Of course he was counselor or somebody, he...

Have you also ever wondered?

Have you also ever wondered?????.... What will happen if you pray God sincerely for something and another person prays Him sincerely for the opposite? How do the ice-creams jump by themselves and fall graciously in all the Amul ads? Why on earth does Vijay act in the same storyline even when he knows that he's the punchbag for the current youth? Why do the girls want to be of Zero-Size even though it looks the ugliest and physically so repulsive? How the hell we complete books of 700 pages in a single night before the exam, while we can't do that during the whole year?(be that a novel)   That during the examination days when you sleep you get early morning dreams in which too you'll be reading, so that you think that you're revising and all the same continuing to sleep until 8 and wake up to find a lump in your throat...[This terrible thing happens everytime with me ;)] P.S - The list may have a few additions in the near future.
