I finally found out how this expression "is-ha, is-ha" came about in the famous Tamizh movie song "aadaludan paadalai kettaal" where puratchi thalaivar executes swag bhangra moves. I am referring to this song: https://youtu.be/BqeX54Wmvgw .
Now some context to how this song and its picturisation came about. You see, there are times when you are busy with work, or busy with TV, mobile, etc., when your major excretory organ sends you an alert to park your rear from its current seat to a different seat.
But you are so engrossed in your present activity, or too lazy sometimes, that you choose not to heed the alert and opt to wait till you reach the stage where you have no choice but to go. The pressure starts building up and you start fidgeting around in your seat waiting for the Bat signal. And finally you get the SOS call anda you have no choice but to move.
By now there's way too much pressure built up in the intestines and you start feeling some pain in the tract. It is not an excruciating pain, but one that impairs your free movement which unfortunately is what you need at that time. Your walking muscles seem to have stiffened up and moving appears to be stifled. Added to it, you have this fear that you might soil your clothes if you take a wrong move.
So with weird contortions of your hips, postures you can never achieve otherwise, you start walking, and holding, towards your current heaven.
But every step you take is more painful than the previous one. And based on whether you are alone or with people around, you start moaning internally or externally for every step.
Recollect this moan and play it back in your mind now, or loudly if nobody's around. It is "is-ha".
Yes, "is-ha". The same term used in that song. In fact the lyrics, say more. "varum varum varum. is-ha is-ha is-ha". You can also now relate better to that bhangra steps in the song.
In conclusion, that song and dance was basically inspired by someone who delayed his need to go!
