HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT !

September 26 2012

Today is our President's 80th birthday. I wrote a status message to wish him on his birthday. A friend corrected me saying that he was actually the Prime Minister and not the President of the country. It was a puppy shame feeling for me. I covered my face with both my hands and my heart pounded faster and faster and I came with a feeble come back saying if only he had opened his mouth, I would have known that. Talking about Presidents of the country, after the dynamic Abdul Kalaam's tenure, I seriously do not know who and all became the presidents of our country. Such were their presence in this country.

Manmohan Singh has single handedly given a scare to the Japanese Robotic industry. The Japanese are racking their heads to find a better and sophisticated Robot. After Manmohan Singh became the prime minister of our country smiley central introduced the following smiley

On this wonderful day, I take this opportunity to wish our wonderful man a fantastic 80th birthday and as faithful citizens of the country, let us celebrate it with silence. These are some of the photos that were taken by our special reporter when rulers of various countries came to wish Manmohan Singh on his birthday.

One friend of mine Adarsh just made this amazing statement - " Prime Minister Manmohan has been our role model in our Viva and internals during our college days".

A HR Manager's Love Letter!!!

September 12 2012

Ever wondered how a HR Manager could write a love letter to his girlfriend?

Dearest Ms. Anuska 

Sub: Offer of love!

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since the 20th of October (Thursday). With reference to the meeting held between us on the 19th of Oct. at 1500hrs, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent.

Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take! up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Wish you all the best!

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours sincerely,

HR Manager

A chat with myself

September 9 2012 

I chat with prabhupepsi today(yes its me, myself). Although I had some ideas he disagreed with about civilisation and the like, he said I was making good eye contact, smiling, and able to listen to him.

And he didn't pour cold water on my life plans like everyone else has, saying that I need purpose and structure in my life. I've just got to stop the cycle of depression. Since he thinks mental illness is caused/made worse by stressful triggers that can be identified he's keen for me to write a daily diary so I can better learn to identify such triggers, because it's not something I've proved good at. Quite often I can find no reason for a mood change at all, yet he insists there is one. I don't know what I think about this.

We talked about the life. A safe way of doing things. Eminently sensible advice. So why can't I take it? Why I am stubbornly kicking against it? Why am I still planning to continue the reduction on such a rapid schedule?

One of the reasons is my loneliness. I've since lost a love and have another love to go to get back to where I want to be, the place where I actually like the way my life looks and feels. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. Maybe that's unhealthy but I can't imagine going to past and doing all these new things I'm planning unless I've lost this love. And I can't wait to get off it and for my life to return to normal. 

I feel I'm strong enough to cope with anything and this time will be different. But it could all go disastrously wrong and then will I wish I'd listened? Oh I don't know. I know what I *should* do but I don't know yet what I *will* do.

Why do boys scan the reservation chart ?

August 27 2012

Remember the train journeys? Many young, single men could relate with this story. Many married men also fall in the same category.

It was the summer of 1999. I was in +2 ( final year in school ). More than 500 kilometers separated my home and my college and every time I traveled home , I took a train. It is a customary practice for many boys to look at the reservation chart that is pasted outside the compartment.

Why do boys scan this chart ?

The following are the different reasons .

Boys go through the reservation chart to confirm their seat number.

Boys go through the reservation chart to memorize the names of all their co passengers to test their memory power

Boys go through the reservation chart to promote world peace.

Boys go through the reservation chart to find if there is any terrorist in the compartment

If you had picked any of the above options as the answer to the question, then you have not understood humanism at all.

Boys scan the reservation chart for only one reason - "Girls"

If a boy sees the name of a girl in the reservation chart, a small smile erupts in his face.

If the girl is a teenager or in her mid twenties, the smile broadens.

Immediately after seeing the girl's age, a boy will scan for the adjacent seats to find the probability whether the girl is travelling alone or with her folks. Careful primary analysis is done to also find if she is single or married.

If the girl's seat number is closer to his seat number, his smiling face is accompanied by a slow musical background score in his mind.

If there are more girls in the compartment, he feels like a king.

The boy would then memorize the name of the girl/girls and will use his memory power to search for the same girls in social networking platforms with the the hopes of making Abdul Kalaam's dream come true.

I have learnt many a lessons from my train journeys. I want to share those lessons here. You can take a leaf out of my experience and you can build a nest out of it and you can even hatch your plans in that nest.

If there is a girl in the same compartment, she will never have her seat next to yours.

If the girl is beautiful, she will be accompanied by her strict father who has a big mustache.

If the girl is extremely beautiful she will be on the phone with her boyfriend throughout the journey.

There will always be a newly wed couple who will emote public display of affection and will make you go mad.

Finally when you still attempt to add that girl on facebook, this is what facebook does to you.

Yes, it is an unfair world.

PS : The girl in the picture is some one I met in a train 5 years ago. Her name is Anuska ( I think she is an actress now ). Now don't you dig my friends list on social networking sites with the hope of sending her fraansheep requests. It is still an unfair world indeed.

Two girls are in love with you

August 25 2012

Today as I was driving out of the parking zone in Adayar, LB Road, a fortune teller approached me and said

" Thambi, Unga kai regaiya paakalaamaa?" ( Can I read your palm?)

"Venaam, Adhula nambikkai illaingo" (No, I don't believe in that)

"Thambi, Oru nimisham naan solradha kelunga, Unga Moga raasikku innum 5 monthsla neenga foreign poveenga" (Brother, One minute, listen to me. You will go to a foreign country with in the next 5 months)

I grinned at him and he immediately thought that his marketing skills had worked on me and he tried to make me listen to him with some more juicy words.

"Thambi ungala rendu ponnunga love panraanga" (Brother , two girls are in love with you)

" Yov! Oru ponnu love paninathuke vidai theriyalla ithula inum rendu veraya?! " (I don't know any answer for my first love itself you saying another two?! )

"Summa sollaadheenga thambi..." (Don't lie brother)

He thought that I was lying and he tried to market harder. I just drove off from that place.

How many fall for such words? Many great sales pitches that win great business deal is done by such guys.

The best time to say no is right at the beginning.

Rocking with depression and restless

August 19 2012

I'm now on depression. I can't wait until the poison is out of my body completely. I don't think I'm getting high. I am however agitated and angry.

I keep having fantasies about being back in Pollachi  and FIGHTING.

I wish I'd fought harder to keep my self, to keep my soul.

I am angry with myself for willingly taking a depression that made me dull and flat, stupid and dumb.

I am angry with myself for being depressed and not recognising that that was one of civilisation's ways of trying to kill me.

I WILL NOT LET THEM KILL ME.

In the end it's all about meaning. You could say I was hallucinating or you could say I'm seeing a reality most people are blind to. 

I'm only just realising how much power I have. The power to influence the universe. I *am* connected to the earth.

Oh I'm confused! huh?.

Everyone thinks I'm getting high and taking risks. 

All  are very sensible. I can see that. But the last couple of weeks, coming off the prob's I have felt like I am waking out of a coma. My thoughts and dreams have had deeper resonance, I have felt renewed creativity and started to be interested in things again. Every one suggests me that I 've a balance where I can take enough patience to be stable. Maybe they are right.

It's just that I feel that all the breaking thoughts and confusions and visions -  may be important for me to find a path through, and important not just for me but for the universe. My dreams make it clear I'm dealing with some pretty ancient energies. 

I feel all on edge and full of doubt after talking to every one. But I am being sensible.  rite! what you say?.....

Because of me!

August 18 2012

've grown so much. I’ve gotten stronger. This is not because of depression, it’s because of me.

I've also made a lot of art…

Few relations are never old.....

August 16 2012

Ten years seem a long time. Memories start ditching us if we try to remember even schoolmates. But sometimes, time isn’t strong enough to cut chords drawn between hearts. Some names are written in a special ink; decades cant fade them away…….

May be it wasn't that long back, at least it doesn't seem to memory, unless I try calculating the number of calendar years that passed in between the two Rendezvous. The last time I met Adarsh, he was twenty three, yes one year younger than me. Not that he looks any older now, but his impeccable beauty does make me feel that perhaps I am a little too old to create ripples!!

You may be miles apart, but at times, shadows are solace to a longing heart. He took me back to our years of togetherness. Our everlasting moments when talks just wouldn't end! Two teenage boys had all the burden of the world to handle! From what to wear, to which song to dance on, to whose mother was stricter (!)...to those teenage crushes which occupied the largest chunk..

As life grows, situations change and we change to adapt to them. But something within us remains the same. 

A little gesture, a little visit, a little remembrance, and perhaps a little note like this, makes us remember that from inside, we are still those teenage boys overburdened with the world’s most difficult decisions!

Yes, may be it really wasn't that long back.. because to heart, it still is the closest phase of life.I didn't have anything to gift your birthday. But the silent tears flowing through our cheeks as we hugged after ten years, told both of us that the bond we relived yesterday, is one of the best gifts anyone could have given to you.

Anxiously waiting for more such moments to come Adarsh.... This time with you...... So as to feel... That I am really living!!

Birth Day Wishes To My Little Sweet Bro Vicky

Rakhi (Raksha Bandhan)

August 7 2012 

The one day that millions of Indian men dread about is Raksha Bandhan. That is one day that girls take advantage of many innocent boys around the globe. Just by tying a piece of twine on our wrists, the girls will adopt many brothers in one single day. To add insult to injury it has become a habit for many girls to expect gifts in kind and cash from their newly adopted brothers. These days girls are demanding RS 500 for every piece of twine they tie on a guy.

Usually girls target all the baddies in college to tie rakhis. The mokkai paiyans who don't fall into the dude category always become victims of rakhis. If the guy looks like Virat Kohli or Ajith even if he extends his hands the girls won't tie a rakhi on their hands. This is an universal truth.

For the rest of the guys, The Guys are requested to remain indoors to avoid such emotional blackmails from so-called-sisters. Tips to avoid being tied down by the raksha Bandhan.

If any girl approaches you with a rakhi,

1) Act as if you had a heart attack and faint immediately.

2) Hug her tight and tell her that you always like hugging and kissing sisters.

3) Cry out for help and plead loudly " Don't do this to me"

4) Call the police and file an FIR against the girl

5) If you have a gun, shoot her.

6) Hide your hand inside your shirt and tell her that you lost your hands in a road accident the previous night.

7) Tell her that you would accept it only if she knows the history behind raksha bandhan.

If nothing works the following can be tried.

1) Lock yourself in your house and switch off your mobile phones.

2) Don't go to school, College, Office. Tell your teacher, lecturer , boss that you have dysentery. If your boss is a male, he might give the same excuse to his boss.

Even after reading all this gyan, many guys still fall prey to the killer Raakhi. Not everyone are lucky like Powerstar.

I will not let them make me numb

July 30 2012

I'm now on 200mg of  failure. I can't wait until the poison is out of my body completely. I don't think I'm getting high. I am however agitated and angry. 

I keep having fantasies about being back in my business and FIGHTING.

I wish I'd fought harder to keep my self, to keep my soul to prove me.

I am angry with myself for willingly taking a procrastination that made me dull and flat, stupid and lazy.

I am angry with myself for being depressed and failure and not recognising that that was one of civilization's ways of trying to make me numb.

I WILL NOT LET THEM MAKE ME NUMB.

In the end it's all about meaning. You could say I was hallucinating or you could say I'm seeing a reality most people are blind to.

I'm only just realising how much power I have. The power to influence the universe. I *am* connected to the earth & you.....rite?!
