1) Hi. This is Prabhu Pepsi: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my bank, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have LOTS of money.

2) Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll call sooner.

3) Hi. I'm probably home; I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you.

So true...!!

Psychologist and Lawyer in Library

A guy asks a girl in a library; Do you mind if I sit beside you?

The girl answered with a loud voice; I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!.

All the students in the library started staring at the guy and he was embarrassed.

After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the guy's table and said, 'I study psychology and I know

what a man is thinking, I guess you felt embarrassed right?'

The guy responded with a loud voice: What??? $200 JUST FOR ONE NIGHT!? THAT'S TOO MUCH!

...And now all the people in the library looked at the girl in shock.

Then, the guy whispered in her ears, 'I study Law and I know how to make others feel guilty'.

தலைவா... உங்க அடுத்த படம் எப்போ?

March 27 2013

இன்று தான்  சிவாஜி ராவ் கெய்க்வாட் ரஜினிகாந்த்தாக  மாறிய நாள்.

ரஜினி நல்ல நடிகரா? ரஜினி மோசமான நடிகரா? ரஜினி நல்ல மனிதனா? ரஜினி கெட்ட மனிதனா? ரஜினிக்கு அரசியல் ஆசை இருக்கிறதா? ரஜினிக்கு அரசியல் ஆசை  இல்லையா? ரஜனி பழைய தலைமுறையா? ரஜினி புதிய தலைமுறையா? ரஜினி லேட்டா? ரஜினி லேட்டஸ்டா?

நீங்கள் இதில் எந்தக் கேள்வியைக் கேட்டாலும் என் பதில் ஆம் என்பதுதான். ரஜினி என்கிற பலமான பிரமாண்ட பிம்பத்தை இரசிக்கிறவர்கள், அவருடைய முரண்பாடுகள் மிக்க நிஜ வாழ்வையும் ஏற்றுக் கொள்கிறார்கள் என்பதுதான் விசித்திரம்.

பாபாவின் தோல்வியும், எந்திரனின் வெற்றியும் ஒரே அளவு பரபரப்பாகிறது. புகை, குடி என்ற அவரின் குறையும், ஆன்மீகம், யோகா என்ற ஒழுக்கமும், ஒரே விகிதத்தில் ஏற்கப்படுகிறது.

பலமும் பலவீனமும் கலந்த அவர், முரண்பாடுகளின் மூட்டை. ஆனாலும் அவரைப் பிடிப்பவர்களின் எண்ணிக்கை அதிகரித்துக் கொண்டே இருக்கிறது. சுட்டி டிவி குழந்தைகள் முதல் என்டிடிவி பெரிசுகள் வரை, எல்லோரையும் ஈர்க்கிறார்.

ஏன் என்று காரணம் தேடுவதை விட, இரசிப்பது எளிதாக இருக்கிறது. அதனால் தான் நான் ரஜினி இரசிகனாக இருக்கிறேன்.

Why guys like me hate shopping

March 21 2013

You might disagree with the title of the post saying that many guys love to shop. Yes , that's there too. But I have decided to write an article on this topic. So shut up and read or just leave.

Twenty years ago

“Prabhu go to the grocery shop and buy some eggs”- mom would tell these words every now and then when I was a small boy. Why would she ask me to go to the grocery store especially when I am watching my favourite show on TV or when I am playing in the ground with my friends?

“Why don’t you go to the store and buy the eggs? "

Mom would immediately say that the neighbourhood is not a safe place for girls to go alone and shop. Finally I would be forced to go to the shop to buy eggs. I would run to the shop as fast as I could with hopes of coming back home just in time to watch the rest of my favourite program on TV. But when I finally reach the shop, there would be a long queue already waiting for their turn. After tackling some of them and by jumping the line, I finally would succeed in buying eggs. I would scamper as fast as I could and reach home only to find that my favourite show has just ended. To add salt to the injury, my mom would start screaming because 8 out of the 12 eggs would have cracked.  At that moment, I would go through the same emotions that Rohit Sharma goes through for not getting selected in the squad and even when selected being at the receiving end of all Rohit Sharma jokes. This is the moment I started hating the word called  “SHOPPING”.

Ten Years ago

My phone would ring. If it is from a girl, I would have mixed feelings. I would be happy to know that a girl has thought about me to call me on my mobile phone. At the same time, I would be scared of one thing. I would be scared for the following reasons

1) Prabhu, Can you please top up my mobile phone by Rs 100 ?

Why would some one want me to top up their mobile phones using my one month pocket money? I would think again and again. But girls have a power in their voices. Some times I would say No. Some times their voice would melt me. Most of the time , they knew how to melt me

2) Prabhu, Can you drop me in the shopping complex?

It would feel so good to give a lift to one of your girlfriends to the shopping complex. But it would also mean that you would have to hit petrol for your bike (using the pocket money your dad gives) and ten out of ten times you would have to wait for them and pick them back to their home. Sometimes you might mistake such outings for a date. But they are not. You would have to wait for the girl and sometimes you would have to accompany them to the coffee shop and end up paying the bill (using the pocket money your dad gives). Finally after dropping the girl back at the home. you would also get a sms  " I had a very nice time today ... Muaaah :* ". You would preserve this sms for months and would delete it from your inbox only when you see her going on a bike with someone else. That is when you feel sorry for him. Yes! I have been there.

3) Prabhu, Can you buy that notebook for me? I have curfew in home.

They would not have curfew in home when they go out for those dinners and shopping. But when they need some trivial stuff, they would say that they have curfew in home.

4) Pepsiiiiiiiii Sweetheart ( sweet girly tone), Can you pls plis pleasee take me to the new mall that is opening today?

Who would say no to that voice?

Now

After gaining years and years of experience. of dealing with internal pressures (home) and external pressures ( girlfriends), I have now come to a point where I now have a grip of the whole idea of shopping. These days my wife does all the shopping. The online shopping portals come to a great help (Nogama Nongu Saapdalaam). All you have to do is sit in front of the computer and buy all the products you need. We would  go online and do any kind of transaction with ease. But one thing that reminds of my bad shopping past is  when I try booking a ticket in IRCTC.

Living with her

Augest 4 2015

How would it feel when

1) Some One waits for you even till midnight to have dinner with you ?

2) Some One serves you bed coffee ?

3) Some One makes sure that while you sneeze in your sleep the speed of the fan is reduced ?

4) Some One makes your wardrobe look very much organized ?

5) Some One irons and keeps your clothes ready on the bed so that you can wear it after your bath ?

6) Some One wakes up early in the morning just for making breakfast and lunch for you and makes them ready even before you get up from the bed ?

7) Some One puts up with all your craziness and just admires you for that

8) Some One makes it sure that you don't lack anything ?

These questions sound so filmy right? Well, I know of a certain someone  who does all these things and I am living with her for the last 2 years. Yes, Kavi and I have lived together for 2 years

Namitha's revenge!

February 10 2013

Dengue is caused by mosquitoes. For those who read my blog regularly, I am gonna reveal a secret now. I had a pet mosquito called Namitha. She was the creator of the deadly disease Dengue. Dengue is the Insect version of Bird flu. 

How the Dengue disease spread?

Namitha was rescued by me when I found her in a pool of blood. Apparently she had tried to bite my friend who in turn attacked her with his palms. I took her from the pool of blood, applied dettol on her wounds, and nursed her and she was back to normal within a week. As Namitha was a glamorous mosquito, all the romeo mosquitoes tried to woo her. But she had loads of attitude and she never fell for any guy. Even though she tried her level best to stay away from guys, the male mosquitoes in our locality tried different stunts to get the attention of Namitha. 

Show Rock Khan was one such mosquito. He was the only mosquito with six packs. Though he was old, he  was from Africa and legend has a belief that Indian girl mosquitoes liked African Male mosquitoes. Namitha was drawn towards Show Rock Khan. I found that they were in love when I saw them coochy cooching near the window in my house. I warned Namitha and told her not to trust all guys and I also told her that all guys were after her body. But she was blinded by her love for Show Rock Khan.

One day Namitha decided to elope with Show Rock Khan. I over heard their conversation. Yes it is wrong to eavesdrop. But I was possessive about Namitha and I did not want Show Rock to misuse her innocence. They had planned to fly away from my house in the night after I switch off the light. Namitha had the habit of whispering sweet nothings in my ears every night with a koiiiiiiinnnnnggggg sound. Once she does that, I would go to sleep. That night she decided to elope after singing in my ears. I knew that was the last koiiiiinnnnnnggggg sound that I am gonna hear from her. It was heart breaking for me. I tried to control my tears, but I failed.

[Read this line with an emotional music in the background. Please add some tear drops to your eyes to prove to others that you are involved in the story. If tears refuse to come, sprinkle some chilly powder on your eyes, cos you will have to cry more and more ]

Namitha flew away with Show rock khan. He did not marry her; but gave her 324 babies. He deserted her and started living with another mosquito. Namitha found it difficult to take care of the babies. She also decided to take revenge on all the male mosquitoes. She went on a killing spree and she hired the ranguski mosquito (The mosquito which acted in the movie Robot). Along with Ranguski mosquito, Namitha went on a killing spree. She became very notorious and she became the poolan devi of the mosquito world.  In the mean time Namitha showed symptoms of a dreaded disease that was never heard of before. The disease was so bad that it even had the power to kill human beings. Later human beings gave a name to that disease and called it Dengue.

Namitha died in the early hours of a sunday morning near my pillow. She came back to me and she took a vow never to bite me (The only guy she trusted in her life). I miss that koinnnnnnnngggg sound these days. Many other mosquitoes still sing in my ears. You would have heard that koinnnnngggggg sound too. But none of these voices can be compared to that honey melting voice that Namitha had.

Today when ever I kill a mosquito with a mosquito bat, I always remember Namitha. She never ever bit me. If only all the mosquitoes were like Namitha, the world would be a better place to live in.

Note : The mosquito bat is the greatest ever discovery of the 21st century

திருட்டு மாங்கா (Stolen Mango)

February 09 2013

திருட்டு மாங்கா (Stolen Mango) is one of the tastiest fruits in the world. It tastes better than the normal mangoes. Even if you have a mango tree in your house, the mangoes in that tree stand no chance to the mangoes that are stolen from the neighbor's house.

When I was a kid, I used to wait for the summer season. That's the season the mangoes will dangle on all the mango trees. There are two ways to steal mangoes

1) Climb the mango tree and pluck the mangoes

2) Throw stones at the mangoes and pick them from the ground

Let us analyse these two methods

1) Climb the mango tree and pluck the mangoes

You should have a very good idea about the physical structure of the tree. You should also be a good climber. Once you climb the tree, there is no looking back. If the neighbor has a dog, make sure that the dog is sleeping. If the dog is awake, then the dog should be your friend. Otherwise, you are in big trouble. Make sure that you are wearing an appropriate dress while climbing the tree. If you are wearing a lungi or a skirt (In the case of you being a girl) there are chances of you giving a heart attack to the neighbor if he catches you in the act. In this method, the mangoes do not go through torture. This kind of plucking a mango is very similar to catching fish using a net.

 2) Throw stones at the mangoes and pick them from the ground

You should have a good aim. If the tree has lots and lots of mangoes, you don't have to worry about your aim. All you have to do is throw a stone at a bunch of mangoes. Make sure that there are no glass windows near the mango tree. If there are glass windows, it is better to use the first method unless and until you have a great aim. This method comes handy when you have a partner in crime. One can throw the stone and the other can retrieve the mango. The retriever should be good in running, climbing walls. If the neighbor has a dog, the retriever should be as fast as Ussain Bolt. This method of stealing a mango is like catching a fish using a fishing rod. The mango will go through great deal of pain. The mango will actually look like a heroine without make up.

After you get the mango, you can just bite it and eat it. Otherwise, you can hit the mango on a stone and burst it open and eat it. If you have the patience, you can use a knife to cut the mango into pieces. Add a pinch of salt and chilly powder and taste the mango. It would taste amazing.

Disclaimer : Stealing is a crime.

If tobacco companies can come up with such a disclaimer, why can't I ?

Krishna! You made my day !

January 15 2013

Krishna... Proof of good honest people in this world.

I was in his cab today at kottayam. 10 minutes after I got off, I realized I had left my smartphone in the cab. 

I had seen him drive off after dropping me. The phone was in the rear seat, in silent mode. I had not noted the number of the cab. 

Nevertheless I tried calling on the number. 3 times. It kept ringing. No answer.

My heart sank and I slowly trudged back to the spot I had disembarked. And suddenly there he was ! Walking towards me !

He said he had covered quite a bit of distance. Then his next passenger noticed it. And he immediately decided to drive back to where he had left me. 

I requested for a snap and told him I would post it on the net, since while we often complain about how cabbies behave, such integrity should also be lauded.

Thank you Krishna! You made my day !

Things I believed when I was a kid

January 3 2013

Many things that I did in my childhood had been silly things. I still do many silly things in life. One classic example is writing blog posts without even knowing how this blog post will end.

When I was young our teacher told us "Children you should CREATE history one day". Now a days we are doing the exact opposite of what she told ~ Deleting History. 

You might have just deleted your internet history. Your parents, friends might still think that you are clean. But you know who you really are. Even when we delete stuff on internet, some back up is stored somewhere. Today I remembered a lot of things I used to believe when I was a child. Now they indeed look silly; but during those days I seriously believed them. 

Things I  believed when I was a kid (Read as "I was made to believe)

1) I used to believe that doctors never die.

2) I was made to believe that if peacock feathers will give birth to baby peacock feathers when they are kept inside a notebook.

3) I used to run around naked inside the house and when someone comes to our house, I would close my eyes thinking that no one could see my nakedness.

4) I used to think that news readers were actually sitting inside the Television. I used to go behind the TV and search for them

5) I was made to believe that if you fart silently while writing exams you will get 100 out of 100. I never got those full marks; but I used to do my part during the exams.

6) I was told that spider man creates his web using chewing gum. I had the habit of chewing gum and pulling it out of my mouth with hopes of flying like spider man

7) My uncle used to tell me that my parents found me in the orphanage and I had a elder brother named Anand and he was studying in Ooty. I used to believe that also.

8) I used to collect HMT from the Indian One rupee coins with hopes of buying a HMT watch.

9) I thought that babies were born through the belly button. I used to close my belly button with my index finger while sleeping. Later when I realised that only women give birth to babies, my belly button was not disturbed anymore.

10) I was told that evil spirits are scared of the bible. Many a night I used to hug the big oxford dictionary while sleeping thinking that I was actually hugging a bible.

11) I was made to believe that if we sit on top of eggs, the eggs will hatch. 

Have you got any such memories? If so share in the comments section in this blog.

Did I just give an Advice here?

December 01 2012

Advice is always the easiest thing to give to anyone and the toughest thing receive from others. I have the habit of reading advice columns in magazines, newspapers and in online forums. Some advises make me laugh out loud. In today's world everyone has something to advice others and if one has nothing to tell others, they can still copy paste some one Else's quote and advice others.

Man faces the problem of advises at a very young age. How to walk? How to eat? How to talk? How to smile... I remember handling corporate eating habit seminars for professionals. Someone in some part of the world has written articles on how to use a fork and a spoon and when this is taught to professionals, they try to even use the fork and a spoon even when the food is rice and vegetables served in plantain leaf. 

The other day I was having a conversation with some pet lovers who were discussing as if human beings are the worst creatures ever to walk on planet earth. " How can he hurt that dog?" said one lady. "How can that man whip that cow with that whip?" said another guy. The conversation went on and on with everyone talking in detail about how animals and birds are ill treated these days. Finally the conversation ended and we all thought we had a fantastic talk advocating for animal and bird rights. Then we paid the bill for the food we ate and went home. [ Two buckets of chicken wings]

We live in a world where we enter into conversations even when we don't know anything about whats going on. Even if we don't know anything, we can get little bit idea on the subject from Wikipedia or Google and that will be enough for us to act is we are masters in the subject. 

Many a time we follow unwanted advice given by others and start living our life based on those advice's  I did my bachelors and masters in computer science field. Till now I don't know why I did that. Yes. I have a MS (IT) degree ; but I don't know anything about the IT field. Having a MS(IT) degree is no big deal these days. There is an engineering college in every nook and corner. The other day my friend and I were driving down the highway when he pointed to an old mechanical shop and said "That's where I did my Engineering". All this time I never knew that it was actually an engineering college. I was actually under the assumption that it was an old workshop.

How many of you reading this article is in the wrong place because you heeded to the advise given to you by someone who thought they are doing you a great favor? Everyone of us have an inner talent. We can make a living out of that talent and when we start realizing our potential and when we start doing what we love to do, we would understand the meaning of JOB SATISFACTION.

When you are about to pursue your dreams, many will surround you and say "You can't do it". Just IGNORE them. They are not YOU and they don't live your life.

Did I just give an Advice here? Oh yea! It is the easiest thing to do. Follow your dreams. Go break a leg readers.

November 28 2012

I first flunked in an exam when i was in class three.

Then it became an habit.

Cleared my computer science degree with a great base and the same effect had its implications on my MS(IT) too.

Even at work I am kicked left right and center when ever I fumble with presentations.

and when I thought it was THE END; I came across this Quote.

" I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career.

I've lost almost 300 games

I've been trusted to take the game winning shot 26 times and I missed

I've failed again and again in my life and 

That is why I Succeed."

Now I have a reason to fail.

Jokes apart!, it is indeed inspiring.

How I met my fiance Kavitha!

November 24 2012  

My mobile phone rang on one fine Thursday.

It was my chithi bhuvi on the line. 

"Prabhu!, We have found a girl for you. She is nice. Want to see her and decide?" 

" Yes chiti! I wanna see her now!"

" No beta. It is already 11 PM now. Her parents won't allow you to meet her now. You have to wait till morning" 

It was a very long night. How would she look like? Will she sing? Would she dance salsa with me? What's her name? I did not sleep that night

Friday

My mobile phone rings at 6 am. It was my chithi bhuvi on the line again. 

"Her name is Kavitha." 

My lips spelt that name again and again and It felt nice to say that name. I asked my chithi whether I could see Kavitha's photo. She told me that she has a hard copy, but doesn't have the photo online. I was disappointed. Then my chiti told me that she ll go by bus everyday for work. As soon as I heard the word, I got into my car and the car zoomed to that bus stop. I scanned the entire bus stop for Kavitha. I did not have a clue on how she would look like. The only details I had about her was her name and her bus name(its a private town bus). I could not find Kavitha. I was disappointed once again. 

I had a disappointing sleepless night.

Saturday.

I opened my eyes and my chiti had told me that her sisy is on the way with her hubby to see me in my chithi's home with the subject line : "they all liked my photo" 

My mom told me that they liked the girl's family and the girl and they were just waiting for my confirmation. I told her that I wanted to see Kavitha to talk to her.

November 24th - Saturday Evening.

It was my dad and chithapa (chithi's hubby).

"Son! You can meet Kavitha  today after 6 o clock at her house"

I was happy now. That evening, I found myself in the best hair salon in town. The hair dresser tried all creams, gels on my hair and when I emerged out of the hair salon, I looked like Malinga. 

My uncle and aunt agreed to accompany me to Kavitha's house. My chithi and mom also agreed to come along with me to her house. So mom, chithi, my uncle, aunt and I went to her house. I was made to sit in the front seat. I drove the car. The car reached her house. I was given strict instructions to follow my uncle and aunt while entering their house. But it fell in my deaf ears. As soon as the car stopped at her house, I walked briskly to the door and I was greeted by Kavitha's dad and her sisy. Her sisy looked at me and then looked at my  family and greeted us with a big smile. 

We sat in the guest room. Kavitha's sister talked with us. Her brother in law also started talking with us. But Kavitha was not to be seen. I knew that they had hid her in one of the rooms. Will she be in a saree? Will she serve coffee like how they show in the movies? Thoughts started flooding my head. A little kid switched on the TV. 

Suddenly she appeared. She slowly walked and sat in the sofa opposite to me. I, being a homely innocent Indian boy put my head down because of the shy feeling. Slowly I lifted my face and tried to catch a glimpse of Kavitha. She smiled at me. I immediately put my face down again.

My mom asked me if I wanted to speak to her. I said Yes. I ll  The next moment, I did not look in her direction. I was sweating profusely and my palms were soaked with sweat. What happened to my conversation skills? I couldn't speak a word. I tried clearing my throat only to sound like a cat. Then after five minutes of complete silence, she opened her mouth to my mom.

I lifted my face and smiled at her. She took the smile for a "NO". Then she went on talking and talking and she talked about her marks in +2 and about her job. I did not know what was happening. Thoughts came flooding in my mind : Does she know about me? Did I brush my teeth? Should I change my Facebook display picture?

I smiled again and She was happy with that smile (I guess). She must be having the knack of reading minds. Then my mom said  "OK". Then Kavitha's family told that they ll see tomorrow morning discussing with their family astrologer. My family nodded their head in agreement. 

My Uncle asked me whether I liked her. I said Yes. He handed me his hand Kerchief and asked me to stop drooling.

Every Monkey that holds a camera is calling himself or herself as a photographer these days. Gone were those days when there were specialists in that field.

If you have not become a famous photographer till now you can adopt the following steps and become a world famous photographer.

Step 1 : Click a picture with any camera (even mobile phones with 2 mp camera will do)

Step 2 : Change the original color of the picture into any shade of your choice (even your dog's choice doesn't matter)

Step 3 : Add a water mark " X Photography" ( X = your name)

Step 4 : Upload the photo on facebook and wait for likes/ shares/ comments

Scientific Calculator

November 6 2012

Everyone would have used the object shown in the picture. I was introduced to this brick like device when I was in class 11. 

My mathematics teacher "Mudali Appan" made an announcement in class - "Tomorrow all of you should bring a scientific calculator to class". We obeyed him religiously. 

We felt like scientists when we carried the scientific calculator. During those days, if a person owned a scientific calculator he was called a gadget freak. 

Days went by and few of my classmates became efficient in using the scientific calculator. I was only comfortable with the bottom 4 rows of keys in it. I could  do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using it. But when it came to integration and differentiation, I had great difficulty. 

The top four rows of keys seemed like rocket science to me. In exams we were allowed to use the scientific calculator. But when the exam invigilator came near us to see what we were writing in the answer sheet, I would press lot of buttons in the calculator and would scribble some number in the answer sheet. Once the invigilator leaves, I would give a sigh of relief.

Days went by and I entered college to do three years of computer science. Soon we were asked to use the calculator to do Laplace, Fourier series applications. Chits and bits with answers were hidden inside the sliding cover of the calculator and they helped a lot during our exams. But after using the calculator for 5 long years we did not know the real use of it. 

I can see many readers telling me "Why Blood? Same Blood!" as they read this article. 

Moral : Even if you own half the world, if you do not know how to use it, it is no different from a person like us using a scientific calculator.

Note: I used my scientific calculator now to add two numbers ( 32 and 43) and I got 56 as the answer. GENIASS indeed.

Should I file an FIR?

November 2 2012

Cyclone Nilam was indeed powerful and it was my first ever cyclone experience. I drove my car when she was at her ravaging best in Chennai. My car looked like it had a mud bath. The trees were dancing to glory. On some roads, the trees decided not to stand on their feet and hence fell down prostrate and slept on the middle of the road which resulted in traffic jam.

When I reached home from my office, I found that there was no power at home. The coconut tree near my house was behaving like a drunkard. It was not steady at all. It was about to fall any time. The movie 2012 flashed across my mind. All the Christian Preachers who would use this as an opportunity to promote themselves saying " I already prophesied this" also crossed my mind. 

But my first thought was the clothes that were left to dry in the mottai maadi ( terrace ) . I immediately ran upstairs only to find all my clothes on the floor of the terrace. My banian and underwear (jockey 500`) went missing. "Should I file an FIR?"- I thought to myself. But another thought reminded me that it would have reached a home where it would be used by someone who might actually need it. Then I entered my house. As there was no power, it was dark inside. 

The power came back at 11 pm. Things turned back to normal with missing my banian and underwear (jockey 500`). The mosquitoes were swatted out and we slept in peace.

What about the poor man on the pavement? If you happen to see any poor people, please help them. Don't wait for others to help. You be the change you want to see in others. I am not gonna tell what I did; but I have a old man in my mind. 

Nilam as Chandramukhi

31 October 2012

Cyclone Nilam is on a rampage in Chennai. The school kids are happy for her because schools are closed. The poor are not happy because Nilam has made things worse for them. Those who live in the pavement are not seen these days. I do not know where they have gone? If you see someone on the road, please give them a shirt to wear.

In the workplace, the tiled floors are filled with mud. The men walk around with wet pants, people sneezing now and then. The atmosphere is not really healthy. The nearby bakery are always occupied. The smoke joints are smokier than ever before. Coffee looks like a divine portion. 

The real faces of many people are unearthed by this cyclone. Girls who apply atleast 1 inch of paint on their faces are unrecognizable. On other days you can even hammer an 1 inch nail on their face without hurting their faces. But on days like this, they look like Chandramukhi Jyothika.

The men walk around with wet pants ; some of them with their pants folded and it looks as though they are walking around in three-fourths. It gives me the feeling that I am in a beach.

When you drive on the road, you get to splash water, mud on the faces of people. Sometimes it is funny and sometimes you feel sorry for them and when you are on the receiving end its not at all funny. This morning I splashed water on many people without any intention to do so. Some of them just did not react and some reacted with some gaalis. Now that I am used to it, I moved on.

When I came to work this morning, I heard my friends telling me that many offices and shops are closed because of the news that Nilam might strike Chennai big time. Suddenly they all turned to my direction and looked at me. Some giggled and Some turned away. I did not know why they all did that. Then my  assistant electrical engineer sent me a text message. When I opened the text message it read "Pull your zip up man". You should have seen my reaction.

I remember pulling my pant zipper up when I got ready this morning. But how did it come down? It must be Cyclone Nilam. Yes! Now I believe that Cyclones can do crazy things.

MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING.

October 28 2012

Today is the day my best friend got married. Crazy right?! If all weddings are like this I am totally in! Ramesh was the easiest and most laid back groom I've ever been seen. I am so unbelievably happy for Ramesh and Sakthi and I wish them nothing but the best!

For those of you who asked, (more specifically my blog friends who are curious) here was my speech… enjoy

Hi everyone!

First of all I’d like to thank Ramesh and Sakthi for including me and everyone here on their special day; I could not be more thrilled to be here. Also, a special thanks to Senthil for making this all happen.

Three Musketeers 

I’d like to credit his mom, and Ramesh for our friendship. When we were younger and we quickly became friends. Growing up with a best friend who live in your town was easy and allowed for a special bond between the two of us that we still have to this day. I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when my best friend started to date someone who lived a quarter mile from my house.

Some of my favorite childhood memories with Ramesh include crayfish hunting in murder creek, walking to Senthil’s to get our candy cigarettes and 25 cent bullet bags full of our airgun.

But out of all the activities to choose from, one of  Ramesh's favorite things to do was mimicry. He would play multiple voice's. For those of you who knew Ramesh growing up, you know that this is no exaggeration.

Sakthi, I’m sure it comes as no surprise but you make Ramesh the happiest man in the world. I hope you take care of his like he did his family and friends. 

I’d like to toast to the bride and groom – Sakthi and Ramesh, the new Mr. and Mrs. Best romantic couple.
