Allauoodjouns!

Many years ago I heard a French song but didn't know how to pronounce the title. And then I could not find it since it didn't know what to search.

More than a decade later, the song found me while autoplay was on.. 

"Alors on danse" by Stromae

The profound cribber

 At the end of a long binge-watching session late in the night when all in the family were waiting to hit the bed, the mother spilt some water on the floor and asked son2 to help with cleaning up the mess. She had to insist twice, seeing some reluctance to comply.

Overheard this conversation between the sons when they thought they were beyond our earshot -

Son2 (aged about 9 in a low sad voice): When WE make a mess we have clear it up ! When THEY make a mess also we have to clear it up!

Son1 (aged 11, getting started on pre-teen angst) : Oh yeah! I know rite?

Son2: I have been thinking about this for years!

Flowery Poetry

I saw a lady employee pick flowers in the landscaped footpath on the way to office in the morning, presumably to adorn her hair, and I was thinking of arguments in a self-righteous tone on "how its not appropriate to pluck flowers in public places". 

Thats when this lyric by Vairamuthu came to my mind -

Pudhu Vellai Mazhai song- from the movie Roja. The duet has blue-highlighted lines by the male singer, and white lines by female singer. 

So do all flowers bloom and is most poetry ever written - for the same reason?
