Namma City Namma Life II Moving on, lets learn some grammer of madras bashai Madras bashai can be thought of as either of the following: A mixed language , using extreme amounts of code-switching between Tamil and English . Madrasi Tamil heavily infused with English influences and loanwords from other Indian languages . Some consider "Tanglish" to be distinct from "Madras bashai", in that "Tanglish" is considered to be English with Tamil influences and loanwords, while "Madras bashai" is considered the opposite. Madras bashai is however not a type of Engrish , since it is not the result of trying to speak English correctly and then failing. Grammar Madras bashai favours the Tamil syntax with heavy use of English words to represent concepts. The following examples illustrates the difference between the syntax of Madras bashai, English and Tamil: English / Tamil / Madras bashai Go fast! (Verb Adverb) - Vegamaa po!

As Long As You Are There As long as you are there to hold my hand, I'll keep falling. As long as you are there to wipe my tears, I'll keep crying. As long as you can read my face, I'll keep hiding. As long as you are there to love me, I'll keep living. This world has not given me much, A lot of pain, many a heartfelt sigh. My only comfort is your gentle touch, My heart's speaking, this isn't a lie. I wasn't scared of the intense dark, Life's ugly face did not bother me. But my fate left such a deep mark, That I was blinded, I just couldn't see. I gasped for breath, my vision was clouded, Without you, like a death-toll every noise sounded. I don't regret now I've forgotten every map, I have surrendered I have lost. You win dear fate, you win over me, And I as a gentle dove, sleep in god's lap. Credits pravasj. pravasworld.com
Sometimes.. Perhaps . . . Sometimes.. Why I feel glad, amidst the sorrows?.. Perhaps.. I search my smiles in my tears. Sometimes.. Why I feel blessed, amidst the trials?.. Perhaps.. I feel the touch of Almighty in my fears. Sometimes.. Why I feel loved, amidst the hurt?.. Perhaps.. I trust all my relationships are forever. Sometimes.. Why I feel good, amidst the losses?.. Perhaps.. I feel, often bad times makes one stronger. Sometimes.. Why I feel alone, amidst the crowd?.. Perhaps.. I find my soul in my loneliness. Sometimes.. Why I feel secure, amidst the uncertainty?.. Perhaps.. I believe the power of hope in my helplessness. Sometimes.. Why I feel peace, amidst the emptiness?.. Perhaps.. I do understand the value of contentment. Sometimes I wonder?..Why life is so precious, amidst the bitterness?.. Perhaps.. I learn "Life is beautiful yet mysterious" at the end . . .
