The World has Orwell... V have this guy !
Even after considerable thinking, I m not able to come up with blogs that will b understood by everyone :-(. This blog again ll attract and make sense to readers who ve read George Orwell's Animal farm.
Animal Farm, according to me, was written to b read, understood and enjoyed in a small different universe of its own. There are a million things i love about that book, right from its brevity to its innate biting yet humourous sarcasm. However, I ll elaborate about a minor but attractive feature - "irrelevance" here.
The whole blog is based on just one dialogue in the book. There is a donkey by name Benjamin in Animal Farm. I love Benjamin. He is known for his obscure replies. Consider this conversation:
Other animals: Are u happy that animals drove out humans and conquered the farm ?Benjamin: Donkeys live long. No one has ever seen a donkey die.
Isnt this irrelevance epitomising human fallacies ?
----------------
Jumping from fiction to reality.......Now i have(had ?) a friend called Sriram Moorthy(motta). He has finally won the battle against Orwell's Benjamin in giving irrelevant replies. Though there have been various instances to illustrate his victory, let me start with his most lethal blow against Orwell that made him win the "Most Irrelevant living soul" title hands down....
Friends: Y do u wanna do Masters in Financial Engineering ?.?
My dear Motta: I just wanna charm snakes.
To those of u, who find this not funny, I m sorry, there is a fundamental flaw in the enzymes that trigger laughter in u. But i empathise a Bit cos u must know this guy to know how he is irrelevance incarnate.
Others have no option but to become lunatics when they listen to him... cos
a)If they r sane enough, they ll /should probably laugh their way to insanity.
b) If they don laugh hard enuf, they r already insane....
---------
Other instances.....
a)In my testimonial he wrote in orkut, he mentioned that i told him the following line:
"Pain travels to one eventually thro' her instincts....."
Honestly i never told him this and I ve no clue if that makes ne sense. (periya JRR Tolkein nu nenappu sir kku !! )
b)in school:->
Chemistry class-Ma'am was teachin gold purification in full swing. Motta sir, calls me that night at 2 am and tells me.....
"Her ore itself is hundred percent pure.. but the goldsmith does not know where the gold is.. "
Note:'Her' refers to his school time crush....
I m a fan of this line and will do all i can to get a cover story written in TIME about this. A brain capable of spawning such phrases must be capable of understanding linguistics in a different domain altogether..... What the Hell ? y do ppl praise Fritjof Capra for his - "Tao of PHysics"... I m soon thinkin of writing a "Motta of irrelevance".....Believe me the book will beat even Harry Potter series in sales. The book, even if written by a person who is not comfortable in any language, is capable of generating revenue equal to or greater than that generated by Lord of the Rings, HP and Spiderman put together.
:-( :-(
I remember so less abt his undocumented irrelevant statements now.... His NIT-W frnds can defintely co author the book with me and help us show to the world how languages in general can be understood, interpreted and conceived. The 'architect' in the matrix movie described the oracle as a person whose mind was less bound by the parameters of perfection. Our motta's mind is less bound by the parameters of perception. :-)
B4 i conclude this blog sumthing struck me.... a paradox may be... think abt it...How can one give an analogy for an irrelevant situation. An analogy inherently signifies relevance to a situation. Is relevance to a irrelevant situation the right example of irrelevance ? No... so wat is it ?.. I feel its like this- Want to give an analogy for how irrelevant a particular statement is ? - then make sure u r irrelevant enuf in ur analogy. You may argue that analogies r supposed to b relevant.. but when minds such as Sriram's exist, science and english move aside and give way for certain complex conception processes to remain eternal.

I have heard/read the initial Orwell part a well over thousand times courtesy you, but everytime I read that I am catching my spleen!@#!#
A fitting write up on Motta grossly inadequate though.As for co-authoring a novel I wld be more than willing to contribute to the scheme.
Some suggestive chapters/annexures that could be added are
1.Motta and one liners/compositions
2.Motta and the Yankee accent.
3.Motta and crossword solving.
4.Motta and Mottas Appa !@#@#!@
i would love to give instances but on thoughts we anyways gonna publish aint we??
And heres my penny for an analogy to irrelevance.Not sure if it understates irrelevance though. But sure it is funny.
Teacher to student: Yen pa lateuu??
Student : late aichu saaar!
I the Anon would like to highlight on one matter.
"Pain Reaches Everyone Eventually Thru Her Instincts"
I would like to point out that this has been taken grsolly out of context and a very good one liner has been made to look lousy.
incase U still genuinely dunno wat that means here is a typical THC clue that leads to the same answer.
Pain reaches everyone eventually through her instincts initially to be Loads daaavu (5)

@RAMDU:
Dei... I m so glad abt ur spontaneity in comin out with the chapters. WOuld love to make this an wrk of unparalleled humor and that goes beyond question cnsdiereing the person v r goin to talk abt is a DieHARD Moron by birth
@Anon:
"PAin.....instintcs" accordin to me carries no meaning and still i find all that glitters far better:-)
@Motta:
Otha ur reply epitomises a typical GS T-paya reply. Did i talk abt ur valant robbery of ur present girlfriend from her x BF ? did i talk abt ne particaluar character but u with name specified..

Ive read animal farm and i feel sorry that i dont see how much ur blog connects to the book, it seems to talk rather more abt a certain tonsured individual (who is rather ironically -->and disgustingly hairy) which might in a way be apt as he seems to be givin animal names to people
that apart, the analogy is lost on me..unless it was intended at being irrelevant
@haritha:
the blog was not intended to be about animal farm.. the title itself says that na. :-)
and u r right abt the tonsured individual
"Even after considerable thinking, I m not able to come up with blogs that will b understood by everyone :-(. This blog again ll attract and make sense to readers who ve read George Orwell's Animal farm"
u did not state that knowing ur dear tonsured friend as a prereq to udnerstand ur blog.
hail ur love for ur dear tonsured friend and this most undeserving tribute u seem to have given him/her
@haritha:
seringaaaaaaa
