Rejection Dejection - Part 2

No intro stuff for ths one, this is on the lines of this.

Interviewer : Did u expect your visa to be cancelled Mr. Sidhu?
Sidhu : The American policy is as unpredictable as Laloo's butt, they explode at any moment.
Interviewer : Any comments?
Sidhu : If only people had brains the size of JLo's butt this could have been avoided.
Interviewer : How are you feelin now?
Sidhu : As comfortable as having a porcupine below my bum.
Interviewer : How should India react to it?
Sidhu : India is bending down in front of a bull with a red cloth on its buttocks. Time to get up.
Interviewer : Why do you always stick with bums Mr. Sidhu?
Sidhu : It is important that one puts his bums to proper use. Or else you need to use perfumes like pesticides.

Interviewer : You know what happened Saurav?
Ganguly : Please don't disturb me now, I am going in to bat, come back later.
Interviewer : Ok, I shall go to the loo and get back, see you then.

*After 2 mins*
Interviewer : It is good to have you back. What took you so long?
Ganguly : These stupid bolwers, they keep bowling no-balls.
Interviewer : Do you know the U.S. cancelled your visa?
Ganguly : Oh no, I was planning to play baseball there.
Interviewer : That's why they cancelled it.
Ganguly : I will take up the matter with Jagmohan Dalmiya. He knows Powell very well.
Interviewer : That's Ricardo Powell Saurav.
Ganguly : Oh. What do I do then?

Saurav Ganguly kya karega? To find out, tune in same time tommorow to Kyunki Saurav Bhi Kabhi Player They.

Interviewer : They have cancelled your visa Laxman, any comments?
Laxman : Why? I am no terrorist. Why should they cancel my visa?
Interviewer : Your name doesn't fit on the paper. Vengipurappu Venakata Sai Lax is all they could manage. They tried processing it, but ur name overflowed onto the next guy - Mr. Anketavan had his name printed as Mananketavan for which he is planning to sue the U.S. Government. So they are pretty angry with you.

My first bloggers meet and I usually dread my first times, except for err.. you-know-what! The last time I was in such a gathering was a year and a half back - the first TFMPage buddies meet. It was a lot better then coz I knew everybody and had a mental picture of each. But here, my mind I was as blank as Laloo's. I hate this comparison, but I couldn't think of anything worse.At around 4:00 P.M.

I got a call from S.K. asking me for directions to Beasant Nagar beach. I was extremely glad that he hadn't called up Curses. He is one person who has an excellent sense of direction. He knows everything about places within the 10m radius from his house. If you ask him about the War Memorial, he would promptly reply that ought to be in the Kargil region. According to him, they killed Veerappan in some "Wood"lands. He can get to school without getting lost. Even if he gets lost, he' d just need a stone to trip and fall into his house. I still remember going with him on my scooty to Thiruvanmiyur Beach asking him for directions. Being a perfectionist, he would tell me that I need to take a turn only when am exactly at the mid point of that road. And you know what? I had to take U-turns with my Scooty to actually get to the beach. So I was really really really really glad that S.K. had taken the right decision. Since he did not turn up for the meet, I am wondering if I guided him the wrong way..hehe :-)

I started from my house at aroun 5:40 P.M. Though the meet was at 6:30, we TFMPage buddies - Ferrari, Curses and myself decided to meet a little earlier for some important "sarakku" exchange. I picked up Curses on my way and was a bit late. As we entered the Planet Yumm parking lot, I saw a couple of girls in T-Shirt and jean. Ok, Ferrari must be somewhere nearby, I thought to myself. But I was wrong. The man had gone inside, there were prettier one's inside, made sense. Curses and myself went inside Planet Yumm with great expectations, we wanted the "sarakku" very badly. Before you all start wondering what this "sarakku" is all about... Ferrero Rocher (not sure about the spelling, but does it matter?!) chocolates from Thailand!! Yummy!

The first thing I spotted was a green "GRT Bag" beside Ferrari and started laughing. I asked him, "ennathu idhu?? Chocolates-ku indha bag-a? Yaen manja pai kidaikkaliya?" Again, that doesn't matter! After Ferrari was done with his Sambhar Vadai, f0r which he paid 42paise tax, the most expected "sarakku" was kept on the table. It was within arm's reach!! Both of us took one each and thrusted it into our mouth. I was right when I said yummy!

As we were whiling away our time, Nirenjan called up. And Curses, obediently stood up and answered his call. "Dei phone panninathukku edhukku da ezhunthukkara?", I asked him. He replied, "Adhaaney!" Ferrari thrusted the chocolates back into his GRT Bag and proceeded towards the loo. "Give that Ferrari, why do you want to take it along? Are you Kiruba Shankar or what?", I asked. So he gave it to me and went on with his "work". Curses and myself decided to wait outside. As I was walking outside I really wished I had not asked Ferrari that question coz that was the first time I was carrying a GRT bag. FIRST TIMES are always dreadul as I said! I handed it over to him as soon as he stepped outside!

We were then walking towards the exact meet venue. Nirenjan and Vijay were waiting for us. Shook hands. Ferrari noted that there was really a couple at the place marked by the "ambu kuri", the arrow. Just then Nirenjan got a call from Karthik who said he was coming along with his friend, Joshi. Before we sat down, we were on the lookout for these two people. They came soon. I saw Karthik eating kadalai. I just took a wild guess about his character. He proved later that I was absolutely right with the my judgement, nalla kadalai podaraar, Karthik 'girls' Kannan. His friend seemed to be pretty shy, boy was I glad! It may sound odd that I am happy when I find somebody shy coming for a meet. If you want to know more, ask Curses, he'll share my feelings :-) There was a small photo session before we could settle down comfortably. I did not use my cam much during the event. Karthik took snaps with his mobile cam. Ferrari said he would take a long shot covering us and all the couples in the background. He walked, walked and walked. I was wondering if something angered him and he was leaving home. "Kaasi yaathrai" maadhiri ponaaru. I was glad when he finally stopped. Seri Salangai Oli-la vara maadhiri dhaan vara poguthu photo-nu nenachaen. He clicked twice and walked back to us in exactly 12 minutes and 23 seconds. We saw the pic on his cam. "Put it up with the same red arrow, people need to know where we are", I said. Probably those artistic dudes out there can appreciate it. Check them out on his blog!

Ferrari's mobile beeped. It was Uma asking about the progress of the meet. This was however not disclosed to Karthik 'girls' Kannan for obvious reasons. We then decided that every place on the beach was equally dirty and so we could rather settle down here. Two Penny and Pleomorphous joined us soon. Pretty decent crowd and still a few more to come. Karthik, understandably so, was disappointed that it was yet another all guys meet. He recalled another bloggers meet he attended. He was no different then. Karthik asks, "Where are the girls?" This was published in the newspaper by a journo who attended the meet :-)

Guys seemed pretty silent and it was decided to get some controversial topic going. And so we started talking about a controversial video. 3 mins some said, 22 mins others disagreed. *Naatukku romba mukkiyam* "She looks like her". "Why, is she bathing?" Such wonderful discussions went on! It was just a short topic, people had assessed it thoroughly I guess.

Karthik opened up to talk about the disadvantages of blogging under you original name, especially if you let out the name of your company coz you'd risk losing your job. Some people agreed and some had nothing to say. Curses and myself were obviously in the second group. Karthik also went on to say that cyber police are now looking into blogs to spot obscene/offending content. During the course of all this Vijay was enjoying his Pani Puri.

Murali joined us. I had imagined him to be a tiny guy, but I nearly fell as I raised my head higher and higher to see his face. Decided it was wiser to wait until he sits down. He was wearing a Ferrari cap that was Robin Liquid Blue colour and had Ferrari written upside down. Dei, Pondy Bazaar dhaaney? :-) This was when we got the first phone call coming in. It was Sophia who wanted to talk to Murali. She wanted us to shout a HI. Everybody shouted, except for you-know-who. I said a hi in normal tone and am not sure if Curses even did that. *Pesa sonna kaathu dhaan varuthu, kaththa sonna pesaraen, karmam da* Karthik then spoke to Sophia for a few minutes. Next to call was Sangeeta. We followed the tradition. People shouted a HI yet again while I said that to myself and then Karthik spoke for a few minutes. He seemed to be enjoying this little tradition, suited him fine :-)

Ravages joined us next. He started off with the traditional question : Why did you start blogging? This was the first question posed in every bloggers meet. People start off by talking about their blogs and finally giving their URL, good way to publicise your blog! I learned from Curses that Ferrari was not a blogger during the last bloggers meet and so he gave his URL as "Comments@Lazygeek.net" :-) Anyways, getting back... Vijay was making a note of URLs and mail ids so that he could mail the details to us. Hopefully he decides his URL before he mails it to us. He's got a dozen blogs! Mohit then talked about his blog, the millionth monkey, and how people tear each other apart in his space.

Meanwhile we had messages from Lean Dude that he was on his way to the meet. We heard from Ramya that she was on her way too.

People then shared what each one would not blog about. Many decided to leave sensitive office issues out of their blogs. Ferrari would not blog about sex. *I know why, your brother reads your blogs, right Ferrari?* Curses said he had already blogged about what he wouldn't, his class gals! I believed I had no restrictions since all of mine were just for fun.Lean Dude joined us now. And there was a small intro session again. Ferrari and I have always wondered how he got 80 comments for the two lines he posted, 75 of which were hugs and kisses! Ferrari asked him about it. This lead to a discussion about blogging strategies - Post comments in your own blog under different names and create controversies. Two Penny gave us an idea too - creating some ten blogs each of which has a link to your main blog. Since sex was the most searched keyword on the net, he said bloggin about ahem ahem stuffs would increase traffic. I was wondering was this Ron Jeremy in disguise?!! Arvind mentioned how a Google search for Kangaroo Sex leads people to his site :-) Ferrari had experienced something similar too. Google search for "Trisha Kuli Scene" leads people to his site :-)We clicked photos every now and then. There were people who were the "enakku publicity liking-ey illa" kind ala Kamal in PKS. And there was Mohit, I noticed, always sticked up his little finger in photographs. Too bad, we din notice, he was trying desperately to convey something I guess :-)

Arvind made Two Penny understand who Captain Vijaykant was and spoke a bit about his movies when Ferrari commented that he was a Captain fan.While all this happened, I was looking at people as though I was in a tennis match. Stopped to look at Curses. He was playing with the flashlight in his 1100. We were laughing to ourselves about all that was going on. Both of us had our lips SEALED and that's an understatement. He was sitting next to me and we passed comments to each other through SMS! :-) I gave him the cam and asked him to take a few snaps. This was when Ramya Kannan called up and we all started walking towards Baskin Robbins where she was waiting.

While we walked, we split into smaller groups and we were relieved!! Ferrari, Curses, Murali and myself were having a small discussion and I was a lot comfortable to get back to talking, and that too in Tamil!! I usually prefer not to speak in English, saniyan, enakku Peter vidarthu pidikkathu!!We had this little intro session again after which Karthik, Vijay and Joshi left. The rest of us proceeded to the Bajji shop with Ramya. It was bit awkward to sit on the chair, it just kept sinking into the sand! We ordered for some Bajji's and I opened my mouth wide!

Curses must have found it really embarassing when people literally clapped for every word he spoke..hehe. That's the price you pay for popularity! :-) One of the reasons he did not open his mouth was that he was busy messaging his friend, a girl..a girl friend that is. Not many knew it, but they guessed it right ;-) And he was totally damaged when Vijay sent him a messages saying, "There is this this waiter in a hotel here who looks exactly like you"!! :-))

We decided to leave after the Bajji session and I said bye to a few of the guys there :-D

Now it was back to "sarakku" time. The green GRT bag was still there and so was the Ferrero Rocher. We opened the box and gobbled down a few more chocolates. Ramya took a few with her. But she was pretty slow. She was biting it, but we gobbled it! Ferrari did not want chocolates though. He was looking for dates, paerchambazham, but Ramya was smart enough to not come in her scooty! After saying tata bye bye to Ramya, we guys decided to have dinner at Planet Yumm. Curses said he'll treat us. On our way to Planet Yumm, there were two cute girls with with a dog. While Ferrari and myself were busy seeing the girls, Curses was staring at the dog! Doggie!

So there we were... We had a drink, Mountain Dew I mean. Then Curses and myself ordered Special Masala Dosa. We seriously did not know what was special about it, just the name and that it costed 3 bucks extra! Ferrari and myself checked out Curses' mobile. Hmm.. what do I say.. messages like "Thinking of you", "Missing you", "We two ours one" etc etc occupied his inbox completely! Payyan pora route maari poachu!!

That was the end of the day. Ferrari went home and I dropped Curses home, where we split the last 4 pieces of Ferrero Rocher :-)

P.S. : Sorry about such a huge summary!

Summary In Tamil

Cheers :-)

Scribbling Again

Good Friday has been really dull. So don't blame me if this posts lacks the usual ingredients! I was totally jobless and sat online practically the whole day, tweaking around with stuff on my blog. Ok ok, illati enna kizhichiruppa-nu kaekkatheenga, that question is prohibited :-)

So, first of all there is this new look blogroll with different nicks for some people, my favourite on the list being Nutcase Magix and Nutcase Curses (that's how he describes himself in his blog!) and Samosa Shyam. I don't know if these guys are fuming, but I have been laughing every time I see those nicks :-) So go through your nicks too and tell me if you have any problems with it! I can't assure you I'll change it, but atleast ippadi ellam sonna you guys will comment-la, adhaan extra fitting vittaen :-)

One person who is going to be hugely benifited by this blogroll is Visithra, coz this one is sorted based on the most recent updated basis. I update my blog once in 2 days and she does it 20 times in two days. So you know who is going to be on top! :-)

And my visitor count has been rocking today for some unknown reason! 200 in a day, this is the first time. I'll give the benifit of the doubt to Ramya. Ungalukku naalaikku molagai bajji vaangi tharaen madam :-)

********************

After tremendous pressure from mom, I finally had to go a temple today. It seems I would study well if I worshipped the Hayagrivar over there. Hmm...avarukku padippu pogama irundha seri!

My friends used to go the temple every Thursday. Wondering how I have such pious friends? They do pray and stuff and then come back next day to tell me that there was this super "figure" in the temple! Ippadi kovil pogarthukku moodittu veetlaye irukkalam! Adhuvum enga poranga? Katta brahmachari Aanjaneyar kovil-ku. Gathai-aala mandai-laye poduvaar-nu thonum!

Naan evalo nalla payyan-nu enga amma-ku eppo dhaan theriya pogutho!

********************

Then I came across this article while browsing. Third standard girl being sexually harassed. Have seen articles saying UKG gals have been "raped". I have just one doubt...If he is so desperate, why doesn't he use a plug point?

********************

Ramarajan and Rajkiran fans beware. Your man now has stiff competition from none other than Thangar Bachan! I am sure Thangar Bachan would be blessed by all mothers in the world. Their kids would now eat well, poochandi-nu solli bayamuruthartha vida, kaamchu bayamuruthina effect jaasthi! Visuals always have an effect and I am sure Thankar Bachan would do his part. Aiyyo karmam da saami, ivanunga ellam hero-na appuram heroes-a ellam enna solla? Idhukku naaney nadippaen, yaaravathu sponsor pannungappa enakku :-)

********************

Due to public demand (2-3 people dhaan, but idhu ellam kandukka pdaathu!) I shall write Part 2 of Rejection Dejection. But first all of you get back to office on Monday. Ellarum weekend enjoy pannitu veetla irundha how will I get comments! :P

Looking forward to the bloggers meet tommorow. I will be totally lost there, dunno many people. But even I know, me no talk, very silent boy, chamathu naan :-)

********************

Will end this post with a senti quote relating to my mood today....

"If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever."

Over-a think panna vaendaam-nu people are requested! Cheers :-)

Rejection Dejection

Report from the U.S. Government
After denial of visa to Narendra Modi, we have noticed that terrorism has been curbed to a great extent. Osama, who called up last night from Bunker No. 49, informed us that he is extremely pleased with U.S. action towards anti-Islamic nations. Observing the positive developments, in the best interest of world peace, we are hereby cancelling the visas of Manmohan Singh, Vajpayee, Laloo Prasad, Kris Srikkanth, Vijaykanth, T.Rajendar, and Subramania Swamy.

The reactions... (from todays news)

Interviewer : Manmohan-ji, what do you feel about this decision? What do you think is the reason behind this? What impact is it going to have on the country's repute? What is India going to do about it?
Manmohan : I welcome it. I feel Musharraf's mother has played a vital role in this, I would like to thank her. India's power has thus been made evident on the global front, thanks to Congress government. The Indian Government will make sure that Musharraf gets prime seats and pop-corns while watching the match and will take care to ensure that he is comfortable.

Interviewer : Ji, I was asking you about you the U.S. decision to cancel visas of many important Indians.
Manmohan : Baap re baap, is this true? How come Sonia ji never told me about this? I am sorry, I will be right back.

Manmohan (to Sonia) : Arey Sonia ji, you have given me the wrong piece of paper to memorise from, these people are here to ask me about some U.S. decision. They say visa cards are no longer valid in the U.S. Can I please apply for a Masters Card, please Sonia ji?

***

Interviewer : What are your thoughts on this Vajpayee ji?
Vajpayee : Is desh mein ganga *looks around for 7 seconds* behthi hai. Bharath desh mein *looks around for 12 seconds* kyunki saans bhi kabhi bahu thi. *looks around for 6 seconds* The people *looks around for 2 3 seconds* of India *looks around for 29 seconds* are by no means *looks around for 4 seconds* lesser *looks around for 7 seconds*.......

Interviewer : Due to shortage of video tapes, were winding up here folks. We assume that Mr. Vajpayee is not taking this lightly. We will continue live telecast of this event tommorow at the same time. Mr. Vajpayee should have reached the conclusion part by then, hopefully. Thank you folks. Good night.

***

Interviewer : Does this disappoint you Laloo ji?
Laloo : Yes. I very disappoint. Doctor tell me I have mad cow dijeej.
Interviewer : Not that Laloo ji. Do you know the U.S. has denied your visa?
Laloo : How they can? I influence high in Buffalo region. Train and bus no run in bufallo tommorow.
Interviewer : How is that possible Laloo ji?
Laloo : I cowboy they cowboy. Cowboy to cowboy good relason. They protest for Laloo. I give fodder to Buffalo, buffalo faithful.

***

Interviewer : Are you worried about this Mr. Srikkanth?
Srikkanth : Arey, yeh kya. Life mey yeh subkuch bilkul hotha hai aur teek hai. Apnae influence use karke mey isko nothing kar dhoonga.
Interviewer : What would you do sir?
Srikkanth : Sirf natural game khelna. U.S. ke beech mey time spend karthi aur green card paathi.
Interviewer : Paathi?
Srikkanth : Hamarey gaaw mey "paathi" katti hee soar eat-they hai. Paathi kattinae se buthi aatha aur mere aatha kush hotha.

Interviewer : We will let you know what he meant pretty soon folks. We have sent it to Dan Brown to decode the message. If you know what he meant please SMS your answers to 7878. Thank you.

***

Interviewer : Your view Captain?

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep

That was a hectic week! Thanks to my Compiler Design programs. I hate that lab. I'd prefer to be even the most cursed person on the planet viz. Steve Bucknor. Saturday evening saw me beaming, I have two days off and I wished my friends "Happy Holidays" as I was glad that I could get some good sleeeeeeeeeeeep!!

I did get it, I slept for some 11 hours excluding my 2 hour sleep on the bench at college and my one hour sleep in the bus on my way back :-) So I could not go to Sathyam today and missed the gals in saree. Cha..what a sad :-(

After joining this damn college which is a good 40km away from my place, sitting pretty in Kancheepuram District, I've lost my sleep. I have to get up at 6:30 in the morning which I absolutely detest. I was this guy who had never seen a sunrise before that. Waking me up would is an ordeal to say the least.

When I was really really young I had this habit of bed-wetting. Now, don't laugh, that was when I was really small! Age will not be disclosed, bu trust me when I say small! If you are still laughing, sigh, be done with it before you read further! Infact I used to and tell my mom proudly that I do know when I am peeing coz "sooda irukkumae ma". She used to yell back saying, "Appo ezhunthu bathroom-la poi thulaikka vaendiyathu dhaaney". My reply would be,"pona appuram dhaan ma sooda irukkum, appo naan ezhundha height-laenthu bed-la vizhum, so innum deep-a penetrate aagidum, unakku clean panna kashtam, adhaan appadiye poiduvaen" Chinna vayasulaenthey romba intelligent pola naan :-) And ofcourse yeah, I shed that habit pretty soon!

And here is what my cousin did in his sleep. He wanted to go to the loo, so woke up, switched on the lights, peed in the bucket and washed his legs in the closet :-) What I did was much better right?

Yeah, getting back to me sleeping...Absolutely nothing would wake me up. Even during the earthquake it seems I was rolling from one side of the bed to the other but still sleeping! Just shows I do whatever I do with full commitment and involvement. My parents have tried out an array of techniques to try and get me out of the bed, but no matter what, I just don't budge.

My mom just used to yell, asking me to wake up. So it was pretty easy to be done with it and get back to sleep. Here are some of the exchanges...

Mom : Getting up late is bad for health.
Me : How is being deprived of sleep good for health?

Mom : Seekiram thoongu-nu evalo vatti solli irukkaen, night 12 ku padutha ippo eppadi muzhippu varum?
Me : Late-a paduthaen theriyuthu-la, thoonga vidaen.

Mom : Praveen, mani 10 aachu da.
Me : 11 aana sollu.

Mom : School poga vaenaama??
Me : Vaenaam!

Mom : 5 mins, 5mins nu solli 1 hr aachu da.
Me : 1 hr and 5mins aagattum vidaen.

Mom : Seekiram ezhunthu padikkaraen sonna nee.
Me : Seekiram ezhunthA padikkaraen-nu dhaan sonnaen!

Mom : Yaneda ippadi somberi-a irukka?
Me : Kandu pudikkara varaikkum thoongikkaraen.

Dad does not do any talking. Directly gets into acts to disturb my sleep. Everytime he passes by the bedroom he'd take care to drop a few drops of water in my ear. It sure is irritating, butI don't let sappa matters hamper my sleep. I'd put my head under the pillow and sleep. There are times he literally drenches my face with a handful of water. Inspite of beeing sleepy, I put things at my disposal to effective use. This time around, it's the bedsheet with which I wipe my face and get back to what I was doing, fresh! What else can a person do? He could possibly pour a bucketful of water. But is it worth to spoil the bed for me? Am glad he understood right.

He even used to switch off the fan to try and me up. But bless the person who invented two-way switches. The switch can be reached without much effort. I just roll in my sleep to the other side, switch it on and get back to business.

Nobody asks me to wake up these days. Thoongattum saniyan-nu holy water sprinkle panni vittutaanga pola :-)

Ironically, I don get enough sleep now! And now when mom tells me, "munna ellam nee bomb poatta kooda ezhuthukka maatta, ippo ellam thattinaalae muzhichukkara", I did not whether to feel happy or sad. Damn college!!

P.S. : The above write-up conveniently and purposely excludes the sleeping time during class hours. Cheers! :-)

Cinema Cinema

This thingy is just an advertisement stuff. This is for those of you who are interested in short films and all those sort of artistic stuff, which guys wearing a pyjama and kurtha (jibba and jolna pai) are interested in.

Short films will be screened at SREE (Sathyam Cineplex) on the 20th of March at 9:30 a.m. This event, Reflections '05 is being conducted my college. People from different colleges around the city have submitted short films which I felt were pretty good.

Ok, so coming to the matter, those of you interested to attend will be needing special passes. All boys are requested to contact Prashanth @ 98841-71073 to get the passes. And all girls are requested to contact me . Kidding, gals call up the same number too . How I wish I could give my cell number, but celebs do need privacy, you see .

And yeah, I'll be there at the event too. My friend promised me a Black Forest cake, which I very much doubt I'll get. But he also did promise that gals would be in saree. I like such events you know, I have a good taste for art .

So just spread word if possible. Free passes to SREE where you'll have gals in saree. If you don't have your priorities right, am sure atleast your friend would. So just spread word

Wishing Good Luck

Babes from Bollywood wished the Indian team good luck on the eve of the 2nd Test at Kolkatta. Captain Sourav Ganguly was present at the Agri Horticultural society of India along with prominent filmi celebs like 17 kisses queenMallika Sherawat, Pardes girl Mahima Choudhry and Sonali Bendre. He was not pleased by the proceedings though, since Nagma was nowhere to be seen.

After the event, the organizers arranged for a special programme in which the four celebs posed questions to each other concerning cricket and films. It was surprising to find them knowledgeable in each other's field. I managed to acquire exclusive rights for the transcript and am producing it below....

Sourav : Let's get to business directly, shall we, I don't have much time on hand.
Mallika : Busy preparing for the upcoming test is it?
Sourav : Absolutely. I don't want to take any chance in front of my home crowd. They are used to burning effigies. I hope they would stop with that coz life is such a wonderful thing and I have just seen around 30 years of it.
Mahima : What are you doing to avoid this?
Sourav : I have bought 500 effigies out of my own pocket and have placed them at various points in the stands. I request the people to use it.
Sonali : That's realy thoughtful of you Saurav. Tiger bisucits have helped you a great deal I guess.
Sourav : What do you think about cricket Mallika?
Mallika : I have been watching cricket ever since I was 6 years old. I was a fan of Yuvraj Singh then.
Sourav : Yuvraj Singh?? When you were six years old??
Mallika : Yeah, that sikh guy. He runs really fast on the field. They even have this bread company named after him you know.
Sourav : Modern Singh?...Spencer Singh?..Best Bakery Singh?...Gosh, I guess that's Milka Singh.
Mallika : Yeah, he. Isn't he just awesome?
Sourav : Yeah he is. Just that he doesn't play cricket.
Mahima : Pardon her ignorance Saurav.
Sourav : That's ok. Like-minded people always excite me.
Mahima : Have you seen films Saurav?
Sourav : Ofcourse I do. I last took one passport size at Netaji Studio for my 10th Standard boards.
Mahima : I am not talking about photo films or negatives here.
Sourav : Oh, I am sorry. You talking about cinemas?
Mahima : You have a good grasping power.
Sourav : Thank you. I love films. It has been my passion to direct a commercial film.
Sonali : Are you going to act in it Saurav?
Sourav : Ofcourse yes. Haven't you seen my Tiger Biscuit ads? People tell me I act very good.
Mahima : That was probably in comparison to your perfomance on field.
Mallika : But don't you think Milka Singh played really good for India?
Sonali : Mallika, I guess you are feeling very nervous here. Probably removing a layer of clothing would help you.
Sourav : I was wondering too, that would be better Mallika. *Looks around to check if Nagma is anywhere in the vicinty* Coast clear, yes Mallika, that would be better.
Sonali : Are you very strong square of the wicket?
Sourav : Very much. I hit shots with pin-point accuracy. Even if there is only one slip, I give the poor lad a chance to prove himself.
Sonali : You are often hailed as the best Captain in India. Your comments?
Sourav : After Vijaykanth, yeah.
Sonali : Ever considered writing an auto-biography Saurav?
Sourav : Nagma has been insisting that I write one. She has given her expert opinions on this too. We even have a title - "Short Ball, Shorter Saurav".
Mahima : We often hear people saying that you are incapable of playing the short ball.
Sourav : Pass.
Mallika : Hmm...Please Saurav, tell us.
Sourav : That is a grammatical mistake.
Sonali : What??!! What do you mean?
Sourav : Yes. How can I help it if short balls bounce as high as 6 foot? Aren't they supposed to live upto their name?
Sonali : What do you think a short ball is?
Sourav : *Saurav calls for his son* Pintoo yahaan aa jaao bete.
Sonali : Why are you calling him here?
Sourav : Yahaan dekho pintoo. Seedha kadey ho jaao. Haan, madam, short balls should be only this high.
Mallika : That's a brilliant explanation Saurav. You play much better cricket than Milka Singh. Ummmmmma.
Sourav : One down, 16 to go!
Mahima : You are out of your mind Mallika. Something is disturbing you dear.
Mallika : This thing, this dress. It's very sultry.
Mahima : You are already in two piece Mallika!
Sonali : Mallika, do you have anything to ask Saurav?
Mallika : Yes, yes. Cricket is played with bat and ball right?
Sourav : Perfect.
Mallika : How is it any different from......
Mahima : Mallika!!
Mallika : ....I mean why do you have 11 per side and two umpires ....
Mahima : NO!
Mallika : .....to tell you when you are out, don't you.....
Mahima : Quick, somebody help.

*Krishnamachari Srikkanth comes to the help*

Srikkanth : Arey madam, usko chod dheejiye. Woh sirf apney natural form mein hain. Natural game khelna bahuth important hain. Agar woh natural game khelega tho Bharath maatha jeethega. Or else haar jaayega. Yeh tho bilkul sahi jawaab hai. Mein kishnamachaari srikkanth bol raha hoon natural game ki alawa aur kuch khelega tho uska halwa hi milega. Kuch kuch hotha hain. Hum aapke hai kaun madam?

So, now you guys know why news did not spread about this incident. As visitors to my blog, you guys had the opporunity to know about it. Spread word and let more people know. And lets wish our players good luck in the next test. Cheers :-)

Random Scribbles

First of all, it's viduthalai viduthalai viduthalai for me. No more stupid dialup. I have Data One and it rocks!!

The first thing I tried out was this 63 MB comedy clip which I found at Adengappa's blog. It took just around 20 minutes!!!

With download speeds of 30+ KBPS and unlimited download till June,I want to download SOMETHING! ANYTHING!! To be specific, can you guys suggest some sites for Videos (DivX or MPEG) download?? I mean full movies?? Free ones ofcourse! PLEASE!!

I also want to download some Crazy Mohan, S.Ve Shekar dramas. No, not coolgoose. It's too slow. Something else??

So, here is for Data One :

************************************************

"Do you mind if I blogroll you?" I've been seeing this question pretty often in blogs I read. Now, who is gonna object if u are gonna put up a link in your site?? Loosa nee?? Mavaney, idhu maadhiri inimae evanaavathu kaeteenga, evana irundhaalum vettuvaen!!

Am going to lead by example now! I'll be blogrolling all of you guys who posted here, whose blogs I've visited. My Favourites thingy on my browser has become big enough that it's got a scroll at the bottom. So I've decided to have the entire list on my blog. If you have any objections, order order order, I overrule all of them! En blog, ippadi dhaan irukkum!! My blog will be like this!!

And with this Data One thingy, I'll be regular to other blogs too. Call this marketing strategy if you wish to, coz it is!

**********************************************

I accidentally stumbled upon this news bit. Am still looking for a Yahoo Smiley to express my feelings on this one!

Tamil Movie called Jolly Party directed by Gundu Kalyanam with Shakeela in a supporting role. Wait, I've got the smiley. Here it is -->

I know it is not correct to pass comments without knowing the other person and his skills fully. But tell me honestly, din you laugh?? Atleast bit your lips?? No??? Liar!

Ok, if you really wanna check out this movie, I guess it would be releasing in Parangi Malai Jothi theatre and Tambaram Anurag theatre in a few months. Watch it and prove me wrong!

*************************************************

I had to literally lift my vechicle to put it into the slot. Uyiru poiduchu! Am talking about parking my bike at Chennai Central's parking lot, you pervert! If ParleG ad maker had seen me, am sure I would have taken Shaktiman's place in his ad. Anyways, it is indeed a great task to find a proper parking space. On the way you have mini hills in the name of speed breakers as if one could clock 60KMPH in that rugged terrain. Looks like am talking about some hilly region. But u'll understand if you've been there.

I wonder how women would park their bike there? Am not mocking, ok, am serious. Paavam!

And just for the records, I clocked 80KMPH on my way home with my Honda Activa! Clap for me in the comments section, please please!

Currently am downloading loads of attachments sent by Thalaivar Jacky to my GMail. Ahem!

Laughable Labs

Practicals can be gruelling at times especially because they serve as a true test to your knowledge. If you are really good at it, it's easy. If you really suck at it, it's easier. It's those in the middle category who end up suffering, those who are termed as sincere sigamani's. With their half baked knowledge and foolishly inquistive nature, in their quest to learn more, they end up burning the bread board or taking a deep breath to smell Ammonia and end up with an "Aiyayyo, maanam poachu" look on their face. For guys like me, it's just unlimited fun. Watching people around or doing some mischief yourself helps brighten boring labs.

Chemistry labs are the easiest to enjoy. Lab in-charges usuallu give a lecture about the do's and don'ts. Just do the don'ts and the lab is yours.

Most common practice is to empty all the chemicals at your place down the drain and fill the bottles up with pure water. Then inform your lab in-charge that you don't get the titration point. Sit back and watch the fun!

Silver Nitrate and Iodine solutions are supposed to be extra costly, so take more care to waste them. I assure you saddistic pleasure.

Also, if you find anybody in your lab with a super clean, sparkling white lab coat, walk up to him, pour a bottle of Pottasium Dichromate and ask "Surf excel hai na?". Or if a lab coat is extremenly clumsy, sick looking, walk up to him, pour a bottle of the same solution and say, "Ippovaathu thoachu thulai" Either ways, this is lots of fun.

In Physics lab, we play around with magnets. People work hard to determine the magnetic field of a bar magnet using that tiny compass given to them. We go near them and casually slip another magnet below their drawing board and they end up messing up the entire thingy :-)

Electronics lab is a bit too risky. Easy to mess up the wires and the IC. You may witness firecrackers at times or if you are stupid enough, you may end up having a hairstyle like Einstein. They'll also give you this graph sheet...to plot the points and draw the graph. It's easier to draw the graph and then plot the points. That's the normal practice.

Games, matter videos etc are part and parcel of Computer Labs provided you get a suitable location. You can mock at ma'm too, like my friend did. There was this program to reverse a string and this is what he gave...

Input : GOD MADAM
Output : MADAM DOG

Ma'm struck it off, but we had a great laugh :-)

You can also go around and switch off the computers when people don't notice it! My friend does this to me every lab, while I am busy chatting away with others. Damn him!

And I discovered this new method to have fun today. Tweaking around with passwords! Go around changing passwords of people and leave a note on their system! There was this friend of mine who had his password as "eternity", which I changed to "mannangatti" and created a file in his computer...

"note_to_mannangatti. I hereby inform you that your password has been changed from eternity to mannangatti. However, you will not be aware of this since to access this file you need to logon. Cheers :-)"

Such kutti kutti funs make lab interesting. Viva is funny too, but that'll be big enough for a seperate blog by itself. I'll blog about it sometime later. So, as of now, there were a few examples of how to make your lab intersting. All the best. Cheers :-)

Vanthutaanya Vanthutaanya!

Finally, there is hope for the people of Tamil Nadu. The man is coming to politics. After proving himself to people with his tremendous acting perfomances on the silver screen, our Captain is now set to prove it on the political front. If he becomes the CM, then Tamil Nadu will benifit a great deal.

Bullet proof car ellam thevai irukkathu. Captain podum orange colour coat pakkathula bullet kooda nerungaathu. Appadiye nerunginaalum Captain adha alek-a dodge panniduvaaru. Kashmir laenthu Kanyakumari varaikkum theevaravaathigal-a arrest panna Captain ku security-ey thevai illa. Kaveri prechanai-a theerka, Karnataka CM-a he will meet, will meet, meet. Damil patru jaasthi. So edukesan of Kadiresan and Kumaresan will improve. Damil Thaai Vaalthu will be replaced by Karuppu dhaan enakku pudicha colouru, doi-on doi-on. Computer technology will improve at such a rapid pace that students will be taught to type in Windows Media Player. Adhukku suitable R&D will be provided.

Looking at such news, my fears are increasing. Is the prediction of Siththar that Chennai will be submerged in 2010 true? :-(

Vaalga Damil. Valarga Damil Makkal.

Mock Interview

Being in third year of college, it seems we''ve got to prepare myself for Personal Interviews. So we have a stupid communications class every week where they guide you through all this crap. We have mock GD's and stuff in which I participated once. The topic was "Beauty and Media go hand in hand". I talked about Sania Mirza and Anna Kournikova :-)

Last week, the lady who handles this class, gave us many questions - FAQs in Personal Interviews and asked us to prepare ourselves for it. Little did she know that we were already prepared. These are some of the questions and the answers we came out with... :-) [I've added a few out of my own will too]

Tell me about yourself
Promise you'll recruit me even if I tell you about myself?

Promise
No, it's very difficult for you to implement it. I'll let this question pass. Ask my friend who is next on the line. When he gives you the answer, I am sure you'll recruit me.

Any actual work experience?
Buying groceries for my neighbour who has this pretty daughter called Gayathri.

What did you learn from it?
That Gayathri already had a boyfriend.

Why did you choose this career?
Coz your aptitude test was the only one I cleared.

When did you decide on this career?
When I heard the above news.

Describe a situation in which you were succesful.
How many questions are you going to ask me relating to this? This is the third one you are asking in a row. Next please!

Tell me about your goals
I am no football player. It's a very risky game. A kick on the wrong ball would be devastating.

Who is a good manager?
One who wears a banian, an overcoat and dhothi and works in hilly regions.

Are you a team player?
Yes, if mixed doubles.

What motivates you?
Motivation.

Do you handle conflicts well?
Yes. No. I guess so. Err...I don't know.

Any major problem that you had to deal with recently?
Yes, you.

What is your greatest strength?
My teeth enamel.

If I were to ask one of your professors about you, what would he say?
Bad words.

What are your favourite classes and why?
Library/Seminar. They are free hours.

Do you enjoy doing independent research?
If it's with the girl at the next table, absolutely.

What do you know about our company?
That they are compassionate towards mentally challenged people.

How do you know?
I know you.

If you were to become an animal, which animal would you want to be?
A dog.

Why?
Ivalo periya naai, neeyae inga velai seyyarchae, enakkum velai kidaikkum-nu oru nambikkai dhaan.

Why is your GradePointAverage not higher?
Because it is directly proportional to the mark you get.

If you have to live your life again, what would you change?
My GradePointAverage.

Why did you choose the computer industry?
Software, hardware, silicon..everything about this industry is too exciting.

Why should I recruit you?
Your interviewer was large hearted to give you a job, I am sure you are a good person too.

That's nearly half of what she gave. Hope you find atleast the questions useful,if not the answers. Cheers :-)

Stress Relief

If you have already had a pretty bad day, then I would suggest that you scroll straight down, see the pic, comment (!) and then get out of here pretty fast coz you wouldn't wanna see me adding on to ur woes like a mega serial. Am sorry to be one. But then, it's ok :-)

• First, I learn from Curses that Doodle Board is no longer free :-(
• My internet connection expired and when I went to renew my account, I found that my data transfer exceeded the permitted limit by 132 MB and I was asked to pay extra. :-(( Sania Mirza pic could have been the reason, you know...but I shouted at him and told him that I am cancelling my account!
• I come home and realise that the telephone point in my room is not working for some weird reason. Which means no dialup!! :-(((
• I come to an internet centre nearby and I get a P-I powered super computer with a screen resolution as high as 640X480. No scroll mouse. Even if you do scroll, u get to see your screen only as frames! :-((((

Hmm...and I learn that Sania moves into the quarters of the Dubai Open. If I only had a webcam right now, you would see me gleaming...too bad you can't! :-)

So here is....for stress relief!! :-)

Have a good day :-)

P.S. : Am planning to go for Data One. Hope my telephone works tommorow. Or else its gonna be super computer again :-)

Love All

Scene 1 - Marina Beach, Time : 7.00 P.M.

Romeo and Juliet enjoying their French kiss, sitting on the magnificent stretch of sand. Majnu lying down on Laila's lap and straining to catch a glimpse of his sweetheart's face! Jack and Rose entangled in an inseperable hug for several minutes.

Scene 2 - Bus No. 21G, Time : 7.00 P.M.

A dubukku fellow with his attu-figure girlfriend sitting side by side in a rather empty bus. She lies down on his lap, he bends down and kisses her. She follows suit sooner than expected. He feeds her a bun and takes a bite himself, pinches her cheeks and leans on her shoulders.

Tamil Cinema Rape Scene

Mind you, I have put down a censored version! I am still not sure if watched just the A rated parts of probably XX rated scenes. Such things happen because people have not understood what true love is all about. There are a set of cinema defined symptoms which are blindly believed to indicate that a person is in love. These myths need to be done away with first.

For one, if you are sleepy but not able to sleep, then its not necessarily a love bug thats bitten you. A mosquito bite can have similar effects too. So get a good mosquito repellant and most importantly, take bath. We have a tropical climate and for all you know it may be your own stink that's disturbing your sleep.

Secondly, if you are hungry and not able to eat, sarakku adichuttu padu!

Third, if you get the feeling that there are a thousand butterflies flying in your stomach, it may be indigestion. Eat Gelusil, a couple of bananas and ease yourself in the morning.

Fourth, if you are ready to cut your veins to prove your love, it by no means suggest how deeply you are in love. You can just call yourself an "arivu ketta moodhevi".

Fifth, if your mom/dad burns your love's photo and you mix it in your drink...you will have this thousand butterflies in your stomach feeling. You know what you need to do.

Finally, if you always have thoughts running in your mind only about that girl/boy, get yourself a job. Highways-la bommai vithaalum ok.

Beyond all this, if you still have the feeling of oneness, then there is a slight chance that you are in love. If you just are not able to do anything in front of that girl, then you have found your match. You are doomed for the rest of your life.

Those who wander about in beaches and parks expressing their love physically would be in one of the six categories. The light anaicha kavunthu padu group. I wonder what prevents them from having certain basic decency in public places. They need to be taught a lesson somehow. I was urging my friend, during the bus journey, that we go sit behing them and clap/laugh loud whenever something happens. But that idiot was afraid! Just in case any of you spot something similar, try the following...

• Clap every time kisses or hugs are exchanged.
• Count loudly, the number of kisses.
  
• Moan when they get closer.
• Try saying this aloud, "Hey, andha bit padathula vara maadhiriye illa?"
  
• Seat yourself in front of them, turn back, keep your hands on your cheeks and stare, preferably at the girl.

If they still don't move away, its better you do, to save yourself some respect :-)

Err...actually you know what struck me first when I saw these scenes? Aiyo, en pondaatti ippadi irukka koodathey. Yup, I was thinking what IF my wife is one among this group?? :-( I have been praying ever since that she isn'nt. Please join me for the prayer guys, please!!!!
