Not decided (Will name this if something strikes before I finish this blog)

I had been little late in posting an update (Fever and all that)

Aah..Got a topic to write about. Went to this kalyan hospital to consult. The doc dint even keep that thermometer on my tongue (yeah the one that every damn guy sucks and the same one which is never washed)

Gave some medicines and all and nothing worked.

Went there the next day. Another doc was there. I somehow cant digest doctors (however young and all) wearing Jeans shirts and carrying fancy bags. Man, carry yourself with dignity at least when it comes to outward personality.There is a reason for the "at least" thingy.

The damn guy was talking to me about symptoms n all that...The nurse came in running and told about this old man who has consumed poison.

I kinda over reacted by standing and stepping aside, thinking this doc will run out and attend to this dying old man.

Our jean clad doctor says" What can we do. If people have to die drinking poison they have to. We cant do anything about it.

He signals me to sit and not worry about it.

For God's sake, its not another diversion to your work man...

Be Human...or at least pretend to be, till I go out...

Gokulaashtami

Thats when Lord Krishna was born.

I share a lot of similiarities with him...I do all mischief he did...but that I can play flute the way he can't....bad way :-)


For bachelors like me, it makes no difference, as long as "Hotel Sangeetha" provides same ol dinner on this day...

But the idea of ghee dripping appam, murukku, thenkozhal...ahh..who can miss them....Probably you should start calling this day gokulaash'tummy'.

I went home this day with the north indian chukka chapathi as ever. My new neighbours so kind and so 'sweet' (and kaaram) enough, to give me a plateful of namkeen and mithai (I freaking never use these kind of words...but popular request to aviod tamil and all that)

So I am like..go..(4)..kill...ash...yummy ;-)

Had four hybrid appams (It looked like cheedai but tasted like appam...may be cheepam is what it should be called?)..some thenkozhal and some ribbon kozhal

Gokillashyummieeeee....

Dedicated to Dedicators

Dedication - Such a wonderful word. Say it in your mother tongue...Is it not a very powerful and intense word...

Now cut back a bit and switch on Sun Tv or the erstwhile SCV.

Hello vankamnga naa Uma pesren

Haiiiiyo ....ah..enaala nambave mudile...pannandu varshama try panren...ipo thaan line kedachudhe

Hye heye hne...romba thanksnga call paninadhuku...ena paatu podnum ungaluku....

Arinthum Ariyamalum lernthu "thee pidichu" "thee pidichu" paatu poduveengla?

Oh kattayama podrom....Yaakadu "dedicate" panrela indha songa?

Aaaanng..amam..enoda friends divya, umesh, ram, kavi, prathiba, amma, appa, periyappa, suresh, kamali elarukum....

umm...aprom sun tv kum uma ungalukum...uma u are so sweet

Ohh...heyhye hnn..thanks...kandipa elarkum dedicate panrom....

>............................................<

A song gets "dedicated" to the people that matter and that dont. Aimless teens and jobless folks dedicate to each other, tune in to tv, to see their "dedications".

How more can you make a word sound so trivial!!!

Hope one day, they dedicate their time to much worthier causes and dedicate the fruits of it to the near, dear and needy.

When God sees us .....

This post ain't holy...its holy crap...

What would you, me, he and she would be doing when God sees us and no one else?

Most probably

Digging nose and look at the finger tip to see if life has come along with it through nose ...(disgusting?)

Whistling songs with missed notes filled with air....(thankfully normal?)

Checking out the under arms stink index and check again in a split second....(oh not again?)

Watching TV mostly toggling between vernacular and F Tv... (Ho hmm?)

curling in the bed till you think of the next best thing to do(oh yesss?)

Going round in circles till you realize that the circle never ends after it begins(oh, you too?)

Doing some sex act till you get a knock at a door or it ends the most natural way(yeah but eeks?)

Scratching till it pains or bleeds (aaah?)

Correcta da? (Get used to the "a" and "da" after every word. Thats the way a tam speak engleesh)

Will my pyre burn without these?

Just thought of listing out what all have to happen to me, if life has to be fulfilling.....

1. Become Rich
2. Start and run my own profitable business as soon as possible
3. Be a good husband
4. Be a great Dad
5. Have good sex, till i feel like
6. Eat potato curry and curd rice whenever I want
7. Buy a car before I get married
8. Act/Compere/Make Ads atleast once
9. Own a beautiful independent house with greeneries
10. Show my mom the world, the nice things money and love can get her. Get her all she's missing
11. Work for a cause, in a capitalist way
12. Make more money than my friends and still love wearing veshti and retian my old nokia phone
13. Watch more kamlahassan flicks
14. More and more of sujatha novels

Shortest Thriller

The last man surviving in the world was at his home. There was a knock at his door !

Can you excuse me? I want to have a paralytic stroke!

I am no married...I am no stay with Family

But I know a lemon will not cost 10 bucks! May be 2 bucks?

More so I know a teaspoon of sugar wont cost 5 bucks ! May be 50 paise?

A glass of water costs nothing..well may be in chennai, I would put 50 paise. Or may be 25 paise?

Alright, if it's refreshingly cold - I swear the ice was taken from the freezer and not specially ordered from Siberia - I will put 1 Re for it.

So I lime juice can cost Rs. 3.50. I like capitalism. So lets give a profit margin of 50%? No lets take 100%.

So a lime juice should cost Rs.7.

Ok I agree its not just about lime jiuce ...its about the experience of sitting in a leather sofa (but soaked with rava dosa oil and idly crumbs)

Heck ! Take another 3 bucks for it.

Lime Juice - Thou shall not cost more than 10 rupees.

Oh..ah..agg...aaahhhh....ammaaaa...oh..I feel like fainting...call the doctor...call the docc...ttt...errrr....

Lime Juice in Chennai costs Rs 17 plus tax of 50 paise.

Which dumb ass will drink it. I did. You would have.They will. I will and you will.

In marketing there is a concept called margin of indifference. Every moth if you see the price of rin soap it will increase (ok, may) by 25 paise or 10 paise...quietly...

You will one day stand up and say - From now on no Rin soap and HLL will fall over its stomach and start crying for its mistakes.

But this never happens and never will....because these are low value stuff and you really dont bother a loss of 1 Re over a year on every Rin soap.
and
This is called margin of indifference. Marketers will reach this indifference limits and then start decresing price, giving discounts etc..

Now..come to Lime Juice...I will never buy lime juice from Sangeetha again..My margin of indifference is breached.

But you know what...We all will never mind even if it pinches...simple reason..we want to be a victim of capitalism and whine about it..becuase...whining gives a chance to self pity and thats one way of telling yourself that you love yourself

You will tell the story of steep price to 10 people and you all will collectively say "tcho tcho" and that makes you feel good for a flash second.

This is why marketing survives and prices sustain.

Yaarange...Order a lime juice..
