This Iyer is a little funny ...

Mani decided to take a walk out of the house as these frequent power cuts and non-stop opera by the mosquitoes pushes him off the bed and adding to that the summer heat makes sleeping next to impossible. He may forget to take his house keys while he steps out but not a pack of cigar and a lighter. He put on a torn t-shirt which had an inlet for air, just below his arm-pits and 2 of the three buttons were missing, he adjusted his hair and made sure that it does not look ugly as though he is gonna be photographed by the paparazzi at the middle of that night. It has been 6 years since he moved into this mansion at triplicane, and nothing has changed in his life since then, it’s the same warden, same room mates, same shabby restrooms, same food, and same job less life. Mani sucked hard and managed to bring down that full cigar to half in that one sucking and there goes circles of smoke in the air and Mani managed to put a straight line of smoke inside one of the circle and smiled to himsel...

Image from: http://www.justsachin.com If there would be one man in this country who is being discussed by a LKG going school kid to a man waiting at the door steps of death, it gotta be Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Good or bad, appreciation or critics, this man is dissected beyond recognition by every greedy INDIAN, it is not easy to live in a world where everybody wants to have a pie of your life, every move, every action of yours is being put under the microscope and  blown beyond proportions. It actually gives a sick feeling when you have to think a million times before even you keep a step, it is not always easy to avoid a billion eyes staring at you and that stare is always greedy and demanding and puts you under pressure to perform all the time, it is more like "You should not make a mistake", We all know that it is easier said than done. "I am a die-hard fan of Sachin", to me this is one of the most redundant statement an INDIAN can make, because there would...

பணம் கணவன் சம்பாதித்து தந்த முதல் ஐந்து ரூபாய் காசு டீத்தூளும், சக்கரையும் வாங்கணும் மாமா ... இஞ்சியும், மிளகாயும் வாங்கி தொவையல் பண்ணு புள்ள முதல் சம்பளம், இனிப்பா இருக்கட்டும் மாமா, காரமா வேண்டாம் அது பிணத்தின் நெற்றியில் இருந்து எடுத்தது என்று எப்படி சொல்வது ? வேலை படித்தது அனைத்தும் நினைவில் நிறுத்தியபடி விரைவாக சென்றாள் பூங்கொடி, தேர்வு மையத்திற்கு வேலை கிடைத்தால் மட்டுமே வீடு திரும்பும் எண்ணத்தோடு கால் கடுக்க சுட்டெரிக்கும் வெய்யிலில் காத்திருந்து கருகித்தான் போனது அவள் கூந்தலில் குடியேறிய பூச்சரம் அவளின் பக்குவமான அழகு, அமைச்சரின் கண்களை உறுத்தியது கேள்வியே இல்லாமல் தேர்வடைந்த காரணம் தெரியாமல் குளிர் பானமும், குளுகுளு வண்டியில் ஏறியதும் நினைவில் நின்றது ரத்தம் கசிந்த அவளது ஆடையும், அடிவயிற்றில் ஏற்பட்ட வலியும் அவள் தேர்வடைந்த காரணத்தை ஆதாரத்துடன் உரைத்தது. கேள்வி கையில் வாங்க மறுத்து, கண்கள் பார்க்க மறுத்து மேனி வருட மறுத்து, உச்சி நுகர மறுத்து, வாரி அணைக்க மறுத்து, முத்தம் பதிக்க மறுத்து, தோளில் சுமக்க மறுத்து, மொத்தம் முழுவதுமாய் வெறுத்து, தூக்கி எறி...

I am deeply hurt and angered by this recent attack on the CRPF jawans by the Maoists. I just cannot digest those heart wrenching facts which are getting leaked in the media and it is a shame that our INDIAN government is treating those jawans worse than dogs. I seriously don't know where my tax money is going if it is not being used for the welfare of jawans who guard our boundaries, the kind of sacrifices and hardships they undergo for making us feel secured and safe is beyond words for us to even explain. I am fed-up, I am frustrated, I am irritated also I feel helpless that I being a citizen cannot do anything to stop all these mess, our entire constitution is so bloody corrupt, all fucking politicians are corrupt, all fucking government servants are corrupt, no fucker is caring for the nation or to service the public and adding more salt to the wound, our countries top men the jawans were ill treated, what as a powerful voter you and I can do to stop this?? How long we all are ...

The devil is back to haunt you all with these One Minute Stories ... Still Smile ... Little Rohan got out of his school bus and rushed towards his mom screaming on top of his voice "Mom, I have won the first prize" and he showed the cup and other certificates to her and he was super thrilled and excited about that. He knows that his mom will not like him being shabby after coming from school so he rushed to his room, took a neat bath and changed his dress and he took out all the cups and certificates and arranged them inside the cupboard, his mom Vasanthi likes things to be kept clean and neat. Rohan was all excited and he had more fun stories to share with Vasanthi, he opened the refrigerator to see a bowl of pudding which was made for him and his excitement doubled. He started telling the stories of how he fell down while running and hurt his elbow and still managed to gain the momentum and then win the race, he also told her that after winning the race he spit a ball o...

I have been off blogging for more than a week and the reason is there were so many things happening / happened on the personal front. Life throws surprises at you every now and then and all we can do is just to accept those surprises. I was always hesitant and timid to take the next step in my life and that is me getting “hooked” up with someone and starts the second innings of life which is called "marriage". I know I am a very conservative person when it comes in taking risks in life, though many of my friends gave me mixed responses about marriage and married life, I was debating within myself whether to go or not to go, yes, I am serious. I was actually debating whether to get married or just be single, but every time in my life incidents have proved me that I am not the one who is going to call the shots when it comes to deciding my future, it is the super power who takes calls on my behalf and I am a mere string doll in his hands... I had been to Chennai last week wit...

How should I start this? Should I say that I am proud to be an INDIAN or should I say that I am not fit to be an INDIAN or should I say I am not a responsible INDIAN? Being in the IT industry for more than 13 years, I felt that I did not know or learn anything about my surroundings and I was happy to be ignorant as I was place inside a closed vacuum balloon which did not show me the real picture of this country. I have lived outside of INDIA for a long time, but not even a single day I felt that INDIA is bad, I always wanted to come to INDIA and be in this great country, but with the current situation, I don't think INDIA is improving, it is decaying beyond recognition and we educated fools are waiting and watching for this great country to rotten ... Let me share my horrific experience in Regional Passport Office at Chennai today ... of course, it’s not my personal problem, but as a citizen of this country, I was humiliated today... I know going to a government office without an a...
