Feel the voice

I don’t know what to call this. I don’t know whether this is happening to everyone. I don’t know if there is a medical tem for this. All I know is that I am feeling a person’s voice.

I read a number of blog posts, mails, text messages daily. I have a weird feeling of reading these in the other person’s voice. When I get acquainted with a person, I keenly watch how the person speaks and try to feel his voice. For example, when Umesh writes something new, I read it in his voice. I feel as if he is explaining in his own voice with his strong Mallu accent. Like….

Therrrrrrrrr  is a Fundaaaaaaaaah in this.

The other day, I got a text message, a teaser, from a good friend. I really enjoyed it and laughed for minutes together. Thinking about it later, I found that I was feeling the voice of the sender and reading the message. So, it made such a difference to a normal teaser message. Was discussing the same with her, over chat, and found that this is the first time she is hearing of something called ” feeling the voice “. After a week or so, she told me that she also started feeling the voice. ;-)

This does not happen with people I have not spoken to in person. Is this something weird? Is this because I was doing a bit of mimicry earlier? Someone please explain.

Disclaimer :- The mentioning of the words Mallu accent does not mean that I have grudge towards people of any region in particular. Remember that my english accent is tamilish. :-P

MoserBaer redefines home entertainment video

moser baerGone are the days when one has to shell hundreds of rupees for a original DVD for the latest or old regional releases. Moserbaer, known for its quality optical discs, has plunged into the home entertainment video by selling original VCDs and DVDs at Rs.28 and Rs.34 respectively. I bought a few titles in Tamil and am satisfied with the quality of the print. One of them is Uthiri Pookkal (1979). News is that they are gonna launch Mozhi, the latest hit,  pretty soon. :-)

Apart from the retail stores, there is an option for online shopping with free shipping for 20 titles till June 2007.  :-)
