"Hey Nandy, unnaku evalo ஈ ?"


This is something which Thirukumaran and I came up with, when we were at our peak joblessness. 

First watch this video.





With immense empathy for people who dont have decent internet to view the video, I post a snapshot of the single most important item of the video.




This is one of the parts of this film which according to me is irritatingly annoying. Nevertheless, it was based on this part that I decided that there has to be a unit to quantify that emotion which was specifically designed to overwhelm logic and reason. The apparatus shown in the clip above is so silly that at times I wonder how a director like Shankar can come up with things like this. Well, if there can be an instrument to show love, so can there be an unit to quantify it. Based on that kinda reasoning, here I present   .

Had Cheeyan known our idea, he would have mostly probably asked, "Hey Nandy, unnaku evalo  ஈ ?" :-)

I attribute 50% of "concepts" in this blog to Thiru and it is he who came up with the symbol and also half of the idea about this blog. 
So, Thiru, I have given you enough credit. Happy ?

Please read this chat:

It is there, right within.

-Dedicated to someone who needs this the most now:


He is able, who thinks he is,
Things are stable, nothing is amiss,
Everything that you feel about the future,
Am sure is on its natural way to suture.

Regret - rest it like a dead egret,
Guilt - drown it like dry silt,
Agony - throw it like spoilt honey,
Fear - dispose it without givin' it an ear.

Feeling dead and burnt in pain ?
Be assured it is going to rain,
... happiness, pleasure and bliss,
because it has closed - the abyss.

Everytime you slip, it takes just a moment to brush the dust off,
Everytime you trip, it is nothing but a momentary layoff,
Why bother when events poles asunder,
Try to rip you, forcing surrender ?

Fight, dont give up !
Battle, dont let go !
Focus, dont let blur !
Push, dont retreat !!

Let the world turn its back towards you,
Let the sky not dawn to eclipse light from you,
Let the wind stop blowing to suffocate you,
Let the water stop flowing to dehydrate you,
I promise to lend...
a helping hand,
a supporting shoulder,
and a listening ear.

United we stand, Divided you will still stand !!!!

My seniors..Their Farewell Lunch.. and Everything that doesn't always matter @ workplace :-).


I am more than contented to have immediate seniors at work who were philanthropic enough to invite me to the farewell party they organized for the few stalwarts of their seniority, who decided to 'get a life' (read quit). That, I would have in any case gatecrashed is something I do not want to talk about at length now considering how nice they have been to me.
The lunch had one of the best of spreads I have ever seen and I painstakingly noted down each menu item just because I would love to read what all I ate yesterday may be 10 years from now. :-)

  1. Chicken manchow soup
  2. German veg potato soup
  3. Hawain chicken salad
  4. Mutton dhum biriyani
  5. Egg fyung
  6. Mutter Paneer
  7. Mirchi ka Salan
  8. Veg Kali Mirch
  9. Veg dhum biriyani
  10. Papad
  11. Rolls
  12. Salad
  13. Chutney
  14. Buddha Delight
  15. Veg Hakka Noodles
  16. Veg Schezwan fried rice
  17. Steamed Rice
  18. Rasam
  19. Sambar
  20. Aloo fry
  21. Semiya Kheer
  22. Gaajar Halwa
  23. Butter milk
  24. Curd Rice
  25. Pickles ( 3 varieties of them)
  26. Papdi Chaat
  27. Breezer ( This is supposed to actually be in another list. But, we were all too full to drink.)

My Loo-mate*

I do not know how many of you will know what it is like to be "living" in a room that is right there. I mean right in the middle.

Right in the middle - in every sense of the phrase. ( Downtown proximity, commercial centre proximity, workplace proximity etc).

Rents in such areas generally tend to burn a hole in your pocket and hence it is not too sensible to look for luxury. However, after a lot of Googling I was able to manage a sexy room for a mere Rs 2500 pm right in the middle. ( This happened almost an year ago..!. )

But as Morpheus puts it - Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.

I had to share my loo with another homosapien. Sadly, he only biologically can be classified under this species mainly because he does not know how to use the loo.

Flush is a word that is not present in his lexicon. Neither does he know the verb form nor does he know the noun form. (adjectives ? Yes, he is such a flush.! I wouldnt mind using that on him. )Or may be he just doesnt want to. Or may be he just does not care enough. Or may be for him all that matters is his room and not the common loo !.

Most of my mornings the first thing I get to see is something that is shunned from the human body. May be I should have included me seeing a clean loo in my "A marvelous morning" blog.

Anyways...Was in my friend's house and just did not know what to do when she (Heparin) was studying 's'edulously, so that she can do an MS. Hence this entry. :-)

PS:- This by no way is a lament. I loveee my room and I have no problems with it at all. ( It's all about the loo... aint it ? :-) .. )
______
*Term coined by Heparin! - I have No intentions of plagiarizing that too when 'plagiarize' is one word which has affected her life so much :-|. Heparin, if u ever read this, you better comment !.
