Sunday. The only day in the week when the buses are not crowded to the brim and you can indeed catch a corner seat in a bus and watch singaara Chennai. There were about 20 passengers inside the bus and it was a boring journey for everyone including the driver.... Until...she arrived.
She boarded the bus and looked around. Every passenger's eyes were fixated on her and she too knew it, but walked unawares. The surprise in the eyes of everyone was because of two reasons. One..was seeing her in the bus and another reason was a child in her hand. "She? Married?" That was the question that sprang to everyone's mind. The kid in her hand and an ugly guy besides her seemed to answer their queries unknowingly.
She got 2 tickets and sat on the right hand side corner seat with the so-assumed husband. Everyone was still staring at her and she still didn’t react. She had become used to it for all her life and she was no longer bothered about it any more. She still remembered the surprise of her parents when they first saw her and the hara-kiri that was caused in her neighborhood. Now she was married and she didn’t want to think about it anymore and live a peaceful life....if these people do let her do so.
But then being an EUNUCH is still considered abnormal in our country......

Like good old days.....
After a lot of pestering my friend Nithy(a) Nandoo started to write a blog. A statuory piece of warning for those coming here and about to go there...if u r weak in tamizh..u can very well close the cross marked devil on the right hand side of your screen. Nandoo is one Tamil nuttie and is awesome when at his best.
What a fantastic weekend!!!! For a few minutes i had to make myself believe that i was in chennai and not cherapunji. Had someone photographed me on Friday night, my company's shares would have plummeted to Indian politicans honesty's levels. With a bag in my right hand, a pant up to my knee and a shoe pair in my left hand, i did present a pitiable sight.
After having watched all the news channels and all interviews cursing the government about its lack of readiness u must be having a gloomy picture of the rains in chennai. So for a change i will give u a whole fresh perspective of the rain in chennai and the positives out of it. Water flooded mine and my friends room and obviously there was no power. We slept friday night among chennai's fav and habitual kosukadi and woke up to a boring saturday morning. My friend called up to enquire my well being and informed that his parents had gone out of station and offered us to stay at his house. And that is where the fun begins.
Imagine 11 bachelors in one room watching tv!!!A horrendous site. Usually saturday and sunday guys just go out somewhere to either beach or cinema or mostly office with the last one being the most prominent. After a long time so many of us were together at one place and for so long. Everyone kept pulling the others leg and needless to say that the guys were in great form. The only affected creature in the whole process was Nithys 60 day old labrador dog. The poor creature could harldy figure out who the hell were we occupying his kingdom. The best part of the 2 days was when we had dosai and uttapam prepared at home for all the 11 people. One batch kept eating and another kept preparing till we ran out of the dosai maavu.
The only time one realized that fun was over was when monday morning dawned and everyone grew duy consious and were back to their responsible self. Hmmm....i am not surprised why we all hate Monday Mornings!!!!

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
We all love our country and i truly believe that we all are proud about it as well. But there are moments when we feel shameful to be part of this whole lot crowd. We all must have read and heard a lot about this whole commotion raised about this KHUSBOO issue and her views. Come on guys, this is a free country and anyone is free enough to voice her/his opinions unless and until it hurts some individual.
We Indians gave KAMASUTRA to this world. We are the second most populous country on earth. And still talking SEX is taboo in our country. You, I and the ones standing outside her house with the broomsticks are products of harmony of a man and women and i believe that we didn’t fall from trees. Khuswanth Singh is correct. We Indians are the biggest Hypocrites in the whole universe..possibly solar system. The most painful thing is the mileage given by the press to this whole issue and making a mount out of molehill. I presume that most of you reading this article have friends in your opposite sex and have a nice relationship with them as well.
Today’s youth I believe, know the boundaries in relationships and barring a few odd people everyone is conscious of their limits. Had a male told the same about pre-marital sex he would have been termed as bold, visionary and ahead of his times. And when the same is uttered by a woman, all hell breaks loose and there is a cloud of doubt on her character. Why double standards? Are people stupid enough to realize that this whole issue has been blown out of proportions by opportunists to make their presence felt in the society? Ultimately pre-marital sex is every person's individual interest and opinion, but what’s wrong in saying that it can be practiced safely.
Sadly and truly, Freedom of Expression exists only in the Airtel ads in our country :-(

Fat boy slim....
"Motu","Haathi","Takkali","Gunda","Yaanai"....these are some of the few words that i was addressed with when i studied in school. First i used to think that there was something wrong with my approach towards food, but later i realized that it was in my genes as all we cousins were blessed with some extra few kilos and harry potteresque spectacles (Thaatha enna sottu vechutu ponnaru nu kaetta ida thaan sollanum).
All throughout my school life i wanted to be slim, athletic and have a Arnold (Not russel arnold!!!)type figure. Infact it also presented me with an inferiority complex about my physique and hence i never got well along with girls (ippa mattum enna vaazhudu!!!). Infact i weighed so much in my 9th standard that even my seniors used to fear me just for my size. Perhaps after GODZILLA, i realized that SIZE DOES MATTER :-)
I managed to reduce my weight in my college days as i was away from home and also i hated my college food and ended being starved for most of the time. Whenever i used to go home i ended up eating like a native of Somalia. But still i managed to pull my weight down by my personal standards. Half of my relatives hardly recogonized me as they had never seen this downgraded version of mine in their span. Just when i thought that i had almost become a normal person....boom....i join the IT industry...i hardly do any physical activity..and i my weight has shot up.
The best excercise someone recommended i received for weight reduction was "Turn ur head left, then turn it right, now repeat the excercise for about 10 times and make sure you do the same when someone offers you yummy food."
Any suggestions???

Rain Rain go away....
"It’s raining men...hallelujah..." Geri Halliwell was crooning loudly on the CD player. Chandru, aged 8 was dancing to her tunes and was watching the rain from his balcony.
Watching the rain was a joy and even more joyous was getting wet. Of course the trouble of catching cold was always there...but then who cares. The whole area around him seemed to have turned into an island and there was water everywhere. It seemed to him like the scene of the movie WATER WORLD where there was no sight of land anywhere. He had a small fishing net and he was fishing standing on the wall just a few meters away from his house. Life is full of fun...or so Chandru thought.

Suddenly there was commotion all over. His mom came and asked him to pack his clothes. He wanted a reason and no one gave him one. After a few minutes a few policemen came in boats and asked them to get into the boat. His parents and his neighbors alighted into the boat with some sobs and it seemed as if he was the only one who was happy at the sight of rain. He wondered why elders despised rain so much when they got to be thankful for it.
Then he remembered that he had left his favorite cycle in his house and asked his mom if they could return back. His mom already angry and furious slapped him hard and Chandru was left crying alone. Out of rage he jumped out of the boat and tried to swim. But the tide was high and he found himself drowning...drowning...drowning.....
"Chandru...Chandru..wake up. I should not have allowed you to watch that stupid flood on TV. Wake up. You are getting late to your school".
Chandru, woke up to face a new rainless day to his school in a 'desert'ed Rajasthan city.
P.S : Happened to see a boy fishing standing on a wall near my company.

Murder
"Oh My god!" he yelled.
It was unfortunate and he knew that he should not have done that.
There was blood smeared in his palm and it was disgusting to see it.
He did not do it intentionally,but was forced to do so as he had been irritated.
He saw around and went quitely to wash his hands.
Still his conscience was not ready to accept that he had killed a mosquito.

The Grudge
He saw her in a coffee shop and was shocked. It had been 10 years since he had met her and only then he remembered how he too had aged since these 10 years. Seems nature had a graceful way of making people look old. She too saw him, but didnt react as he thought she would. They had resided in the same city for these 10 years and still avoided seeing each other.
After checking out that she had come alone he went to her table and sat without asking her permission.
He :"How are you?"
She:"Yeah fine..and you?"
He :"Yeah..How is your husband? How many kids do u have?"
She:"He is fine. One boy and a girl.How is your wife?"
He :"Yeah fine."
There was an awkward silence in between them and both knew that it was out of guilt. They parted with a Good bye like old friends.
Walking out of the coffee shop he realised that even after these 10 years he could not forgive his only sister for marrying against his wishes.

The king rocks Chennai....
Ilayaraja. If some stranger were to look at him, he could mistake him for an ascetic with respect to his serene face and attire. But Raja is one single force which has changed Tamil music industry and perhaps india's as well. This show was a small tribute to the man who rose from a small village to reach the heights of the philharmonic orchestra.
The evening began with "Janani Janani" by Raja and hearing it u feel jealous of this man whose voice has not aged for ages. SPB followed suit with "Mandram vanda tendralukku" and the crowd went wild. But Raja requested the crowd to be silent when the songs were rendered which is quite the opposite of what the rest of any musician might have wanted on his show. Shreya Goshal picked up "Kaatril endhan geetham" from Johny. She wrongly pronounced the word "Thedude" as "Thodude" and when she did pronounce it rightly the crown applauded.Chennai kusumbu!!!
Raja sang "Naan thedum Sevanthi poo" and the crowd went beserk. Everyone asked for Once more and the king responded suitably. Some of the best songs of the evening which the crowd really loved were "Sundari Kannal oru seidhi" by SPB and Chitra from Thalapathi, "Shenbagamae" by Mano and Sadhana. Vaali and Raja shared their malarum ninaivugal of the same. Chitra was as usual at her best in "Paadariayen padipariyaen" and as a bonus also sang Mari mari and delighted the crowd. Personally i felt that we all missed the versatile S. Janaki. Her absence was felt when other singers rendered her timeless classics as "Kaatril ethan geetham", "Senthoora poovae", "Aasaya Kaathula" and still felt short of her standards.
Raja sang "Thendral Vandu theendumbodhu" from Avadharam and really if u were to close ur eyes and listen to that mellifluous voice i promise u could feel as if on heaven. In between Bharathiraja, kamalHaasan ,Suhasini, Vaali made entry and paid homage to the king. We expected Kamal to render "Unnai vida" from Virumaandi but he dissapointed and it was even more dissapointing to here Tippu render the same. Sadhana Sargam gave her best in "Paatu Solli" from Azhagi and she is perhaps the only breed of the North singer who sings with minimal mistakes. Parthiban kept the crowd in splits with his gundaka mandaka dialogues.
Infact the crowd enjoyed the 80s song much more than the ones which were recently recorded. "Maanguyiale" from Karagaatakaaran ruled the crowd more than one from Oru naal oru kanavu released recently. Still there were songs which we thought could have been rendered as "Ilaya Nila","Poomalayae","Raakamma","Amma endrazhikkahda","Paartha vizhi", "Sangeetha megham"...the list is endless. Whats ur list of Raja's best?
The last 15 minutes belonged to the versatile Siva Mani and he showed why he is the best drummer around. He had Drums and sticks in all imaginable sizes and played them effortlessly. Raja also sang a 3 swaram song comprising of just sa ri ga and leaving out rest 4 swaras ma pa dha ni.
Some of the yuppie gen felt bored as there were no hip shakers..but then people....this was one of the few occassions where the body took backseat and the soul took precedence. For those who miss it too much....the idiot box is always there.

Vaali and Raja shared their malarum ninaivugal of the same. Chitra was as usual at her best in "Paadariayen padipariyaen" and as a bonus also sang Mari mari and delighted the crowd. Personally i felt that we all missed the versatile S. Janaki. Her absence was felt when other singers rendered her timeless classics as "Kaatril ethan geetham", "Senthoora poovae", "Aasaya Kaathula" and still felt short of her standards.
Raja sang "Thendral Vandu theendumbodhu" from Avadharam and really if u were to close ur eyes and listen to that mellifluous voice i promise u could feel as if on heaven. In between Bharathiraja, kamalHaasan ,Suhasini, Vaali made entry and paid homage to the king. We expected Kamal to render "Unnai vida" from Virumaandi but he dissapointed and it was even more dissapointing to here Tippu render the same. Sadhana Sargam gave her best in "Paatu Solli" from Azhagi and she is perhaps the only breed of the North singer who sings with minimal mistakes. Parthiban kept the crowd in splits with his gundaka mandaka dialogues.
Infact the crowd enjoyed the 80s song much more than the ones which were recently recorded. "Maanguyiale" from Karagaatakaaran ruled the crowd more than one from Oru naal oru kanavu released recently. Still there were songs which we thought could have been rendered as "Ilaya Nila","Poomalayae","Raakamma","Amma endrazhikkahda","Paartha vizhi", "Sangeetha megham"...the list is endless. Whats ur list of Raja's best?
The last 15 minutes belonged to the versatile Siva Mani and he showed why he is the best drummer around. He had Drums and sticks in all imaginable sizes and played them effortlessly. Raja also sang a 3 swaram song comprising of just sa ri ga and leaving out rest 4 swaras ma pa dha ni.
Some of the yuppie gen felt bored as there were no hip shakers..but then people....this was one of the few occassions where the body took backseat and the soul took precedence. For those who miss it too much....the idiot box is always there.

To do or not to do...
He was afraid. His felt a knot in his stomach at the very thought of it. The letter in his hands which might have weighed just a few grams felt like a ton. His first reaction on seeing Gauri was to run away from the scene with the letter. He had heard of people before who given letter to Gauri and how she had shred them to pieces along with their aspirations. But he had to do it and do it NOW.
After praying all his deities he handed over his leave letter to his project Manager and hoped that she would spare him a day’s leave.
P.S : I am going to my hometown. 5 days ensooooiiiiiii.

The PowerCut
Darkness. Mankinds greatest fear since evolution. Most people deepest fears evolve in darkess and hence mankind despises it to extremes.
Yesterday Velachery came to a standstill when it was made to suffer in darkness. The moon looked prettier than usual but unfortunaltely not many were ready to share my enthusiasm or poetic sense at that point of time. Literally i could feel the meaning of PowerCut as everyone seemed to be deprived of power and people behaved as if without electricity mankind never survived. The powercut brought me memories of my childhood and college days.
As a child i used to hug my mother out of the fear of darkness after i saw some stupid sitcom where a character got killed in a power cut sequence.I remember times when power cuts were as regular as Ganguly's batting failures in test matches. It happened every saturday and i remember how everyone would finish their samayal activities earlier on saturday.
The college days powercut are cute to remember. Immediately after power cut we used to play hide and seek. Nobody enevr knew what or who hit them and it was damn fun for everyone ...except the sufferer. We used to play Anthakshari where everyone singing talents(or the lack of it) came to lights (!!). We used to walk along the road in the moonlight talking about everything from Bush to babes. Most of us used to stare at the Ladies hostel and wonder what they must be thinking at this time:-)
I particularly loved power cuts during exam times. It was a good pretex to keep the book down and avoid studying although there were pazhams who studied under candle lights. Otherwise even if u dont want to study you had to force the ritual after watching the rest do it.
We seem to be pampered by technology. When i told my 8 year old niece about how i got lost in my childhood, she asked innocently "U did not have a cell phone to call?" She talks as if people lived in rock ages before cell phones came to existence. Powercuts are the rare times when people listen to radios and i could see it that every house in the locality had Suriyan or Mirchi shouting at the top of their voices. Also it was a relief away from the idiot box as we all friends chatted endlessly till everyone fell asleep tired of the days chores.
My roommate seemed so much pissed off that he decided to go to his company and sleep in the dormitory. Another friend of mine told how the dormitory in his company got filled after employess living nearby realized that power was not to come at the earliest.
Have we become slaves of technology? People did survive before us without these luxuries, then why do we behave as if we would be dead without them?

Runaway Marraige
Scene 1: (Color) Outside Central jail
Ravi walks out from the jail. He watches the outside world with a bewildered look and anxiety. 10 years is a long period and he knows that the world around him might have left him back in the crutches of reality and has progressed by leaps and bounds.
Ravi was anxious to meet his mother and sister after long time. His father died soon after he went to jail out of shock. But the first person he wanted to meet were Kamal and Devi. It all happened 10 years before.....
Scene 2: (Black and White) Outside registrar office
Kamal : Can we do this Ravi?
Ravi : Dont worry kamal. Come what may we are there to rake care of whatever comes across.
Kamal : Will Devi arrive on time?Or will she change her mind in the last minute?
Ravi : Dont worry. Out friends are waiting outside the Mandap and will escort her safely.
Kamal : I am worried like hell. If her father and brother know about this we are all doomed.
Ravi : Come on man. U and Devi have been in love for the past 2 years and everyone in the college knows that. Still her father decided to get her married against her wishes. Legally u can get married in any court of law.
Kamal : Still this could be a trouble. How glad that i have such nice friends as u all.
Ravi : Oh come on Kamal.Lets get this done and everything will happen fair and fine.
Devi and friends arrive in a car outside the office. Just as the wedding and formalities complete Devi's brother storms in a car with his goons. There is a long fight between them and Ravi and friends.
After a long fight in one heat of moment, Ravi grabs a big Arivaal and attacks Devi's brother. He falls in a pool of blood. It looks as if time had stopped for a moment and everything had come to standstill. Ravi was arrested by the police on charge of murder. While he walked to jail everyone around him cried, but Ravi smiled as he knew that there was a purpose in his actions.
Scene 3: (Color) Kamal's house
Ravi : Kamal?
Kamal : Oh my god. Ravi? U could have called me once. What a big surprise.
Ravi : The first people i wanted to meet were you and Devi. Thats y i bumped in.
Kamal : Sit down. I will bring u some coffee.
Ravi : No thats fine. Where is Devi?
Kamal : (hesitant) We will talk about it.
Ravi : No. I want to meet her. Where is she?
Kamal : (sadly) We got divorced.
Ravi : What?Why?
Kamal : There were differences of opinion between us and we couldnt solve it. So one kid remains with her and another with me.
Ravi : (mumbles)This is not fair.
Kamal : I know that how shocking it could be for u. Ravi wait....
Ravi walks outside the house. Had he himself proposed Devi a day before Kamal he could have been with her and could have lived happily with her. Now he had lost her, his valuable 10 years and also his family's love. For the first time, tears rolled down his cheeks. (fades to black and white)
P.S : I happened to see a runaway wedding in a registrar office recently.

Salaam Namaste
Bolywood factory has found a new market...NRI market.The formula seems simple. Throw a nice cool dude hero,a cute dudette heroine mixed with a foreign location, add a dash of Arshad Warsi, stir it with some nice hummable songs and garnish it with some emotions and smooches....and voila..u got a Hiphop Yuppie multiplex film and overseas hit.
Salaam Namaste is a feel-good and coming of the age bollywood movie. The surprise starts when the characters are introduced in colorful montages rather than yawny flashbacks. There is not much story to write about here. Just in short it is a story where Nick(Saif) meets Amber(Preity) and he asks her to move in with him. He promises that they would live under one roof and wont do ANYTHING.
Comeon guys grow up. Pakaatu roomla Paravai muniyamma irundaalae nama pasanga jollu viduvaanga...and he promises Preity as such...and she falls for it too.As usual the inevitable happens and then the trouble starts. She wants to have the child and he doesnt and so begins the problem. The rest is how they unite and it is all Subha mangalam.
Saif is a revelation. This guy has come a long way since DCH and now he is a star in his own right. He looks good, has a nice build and his comic timing is good. Preity looks cute, dresses between vulgarity and sexy and shreiks so hard that u could fix an appointment with ur family doc to get ur ears tested. Arshad Warsi is the friend in need tho u miss him in the same form as MunnaBhai.
The surprise package is the Multitalented yet under utilised Javed Jaffery. His Crocodile Dundysque comedy brings the house down and u yearn more for him to appear on screen.Vishal Shekars music is nice and hummable and "My dil goes hmmm" lingers to ur hearts. Since the film happens in Kangaroo land i neednt tell u that the locations were eye candy and u wish u were there.
But there are loop holes. We are never given a clear expl as y Saif has an affinity for kids and blood. Donno in which city Chef and RJ can manage such a nice looking beach facing house with a soooo wide TV. Also u have watched this situation before and still it has been packeged nicely.Watch out for the climax where u will be surprised by a grand entry by a star.
Overall...this is a perfect movie to go on with ur date. For those as much single as me...Friends hai na.

Paasakaara Pasanga 1
What is most desired after months of heavy work?
Quarter...Biriyani....Company of gals....or an outing with friends??
Yep...Outing with friends.
At last, we managed to gather all our friends for a mini tour to Munaar and Thekkadi. The very fact that there were 15 of us made the whole atmosphere charged up and it was total Blast. We boarded the train on Friday (26 Aug) at 7.30 PM. It was oturadu and kaala vaaruradu right from the word go.
We reached at Dindugal at 3.45 AM (somehow we woke up..there were a few gilma incidents which we witnessed on train...they will be revealed soon in this blog). From there we caught a van and reached Munnar at arnd 10.30 AM. Boy...enna azhagaana idam. Chennai la veyilla la sutti sutti Brian Lara range kku aana naanga ellarum inda cool climate a paathu asanduttom. Enga paathaalum mega mootamma, mappa, gummu nu irundudu.
Apparam after lunch we continued our journey and went Speed boating. Mazhaila Speed boating pora anda anubavam Matrix Maadhiri. i.e It cant be told, u have to experience it for urself. It was fun and weird to see people who command great respect for their technical expertise (enga goshti ila irunda makkal thaan) in their companies being turned to children on the sight of rain and cold climate. Echo point la poi oruttan inorutan aalodu pera solli katti galiju panitaanga. Gap la evano namitha trisha pera solli ellam kattaran. Thirundunga pa!!!

Chennai la veyilla la sutti sutti Brian Lara range kku aana naanga ellarum inda cool climate a paathu asanduttom. Enga paathaalum mega mootamma, mappa, gummu nu irundudu.
Apparam after lunch we continued our journey and went Speed boating. Mazhaila Speed boating pora anda anubavam Matrix Maadhiri. i.e It cant be told, u have to experience it for urself. It was fun and weird to see people who command great respect for their technical expertise (enga goshti ila irunda makkal thaan) in their companies being turned to children on the sight of rain and cold climate. Echo point la poi oruttan inorutan aalodu pera solli katti galiju panitaanga. Gap la evano namitha trisha pera solli ellam kattaran. Thirundunga pa!!!

What is Opposite Sex?
Definition : Opposite Sex
The sex which does exactly opposite to what the other person wants to do!!!!
Stupid na? Well..can u answer this query of mine? Who on earth suggested this absurd quotient of 33% reservation for Women?
Now u must be wondering why this guy is hell bent on a topic which the Lallus and Mulayams of our country are keen to quash to death. Well, today morning i saw something that i had only read before in magazines and papers. A WOMEN BUS DRIVER. I had seen female conductor in Bangalore before, but a women Driver was something i saw for the first time before my very own eyes. This triggered the queston of the 33% reservation in my mind.
First i dont understand the logic of asking for 33% reservation. Why not 50?(Adu sari 33 kae anga vazhia kaanum...50 kku engada pora nu neenga kaekiradhu enakku puriyudhu).Lets admit it that women are no longer the weaker sex. They are now as much independent as men and they have made their presence felt in every walk of life. Be it board exam results (when was the last time we had a male topper??), any profession, Charity work, sports, cinema..anything...everything.
Why do women ask for a meagre share of 33% when they can successfully run a house, a government (namma Amma thaan) or a nation? The fact that an idiot(naanethaan) is trying to emphasise it is in itself a shame. Look at the other side. There is a young girl who is raped by her father in law and the muslim body asks her to marry her father in law for that crime.
Where is this counrty heading to? Is justice dead?
Women liberation ngaradu summa pearukku thaana???
Someone please answer this.....
