539. The unwanted evil called ADVICE
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 habi…

538. Kasab Kasabed
Kasabed = A Tamil colloquial word for "It is finished. Ajmal Kasab - the lone surviving terrorist in the Mumbai attacks in 2008 was hanged this morning in Pune. His hanging was kept as a secret to avoid any controversies. The Pakistan Government did not accept the letter that India sent regarding Kasab's kasabufication. Hence the Indian Government faxed a letter to the Pak Government regarding his death. Though many would say that justice has been served to the families of the 166 people who lost their lives, it doesn't mak…

536. My first Cyclone encounter.
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 work, 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 f…
535. Cyclone Nilam's dangerous game.
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 pantries are always occupied. The smoke joints …
534. The Scientific Calculator
Every one 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 "Arulanandam" 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…
533. Stripping for a cause.
These days it has become a habit to shed clothes for a cause. If you want to show your support for animals, then take home a pet animal and feed them. Stripping off your clothes and walking around nude does not help the animals in any way. I have often thought why PETA even encourages female models to strip and pose naked? How does that help animals? It only makes lot of young boys and many married men to ogle at these pictures and master the act of bating their desires to glory. (Enna solla vareinu puriyudhu illa? Arraichi pannaadheenga) …
532. Happy birthday President
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 t…
531. Dai Saavu Graaki ( Hey Death Customer)
Why such a Blog Title? You might ask me. This is one phrase that is so abundantly used in the Chennai roads. Do people actually use the phrase "Death Customer" as a swear word? Yes you should come to Chennai to witness it. All you have to do is, cross the road in Chennai traffic and at least one person will call you a saavu graaki. Why do they say that? Do they practise those lines to use it on you or did they use it just by accident? We can ponder on and on and we will never find an answer to that question. This morning I was …
530. Scanning the reservation chart.
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 college. More than 600 miles separated my home and my college and every time I traveled home , I took a train. It is a customar y 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 thr…
528. Two girls love me
Today as I was driving out of the parking zone in GN Chetty 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 …
527. Raatchasa Bandhan
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 …
526. Social Media Madness
It is always a great feeling to go down memory lane revisiting those old days, places. The joy we get when we go back to our school, college, old workplace cannot be easily explained in words. I have experienced that non-explainable joy when I visited my college after eons. I tried to do the same thing in the social media world too. Hence I opened all my old- deactivated accounts in different social media sites and in all the different social media sites, I remembered one incident or more that made me to grin. Yahoo Messenger First I logged…
525. Is Katrina Kaif dumb?
Public message to all hair removal cream manufacturers! When you advertise your product, please select a model who has hairy skin. Apply the cream on her hands and shoot the scene which shows how effectively the hair is removed. Instead if you show an ad in which a model applies your product on an already waxed skin, the viewer will only be seeing the beautiful model and will not even remember the name of your product. In the above ad, one would remember Katrina Kaif but not the hair removal cream. How did Katrina agree to act in such a dumb…

523. A Bachelor room
Many among you would have stayed in a bachelor room where you would have shared the house with 4 or 5 friends. Girls also would have stayed in hostels, PGs and you would have had room mates. If you have been there, you might have experienced the following points 1) Any bachelor room will have one lazy bachelor who always wakes up late and wears that same stinky shirt and goes to college/office. 2) There will be one person who will never wash the utensils. There will be one poor fellow who will wash the utensils. 3) There will be one person…

520. Expressions
How many of us have done this? I have done this many a times. I draft a big mail and then send that mail to a senior official at work without attaching the necessary attachments. By the time we realize that there is no attachment, the mail would have already reached the boss. If someone could capture that precise expression it would look like this. We are talented in showing facial expressions the day we enter into this world. Some of the common facial expressions are added below. Just see the following pictures and once you are done, you ca…
