2011- A quick review
Politics and world news:
There was man who refused to eat mum-mum. And the prime minister who, as always, kept mum.
So many Dalits continue to starve. Rahul Gandhi ate their food.
Too many people went to jail for the 2G scam. Only influential people get a jail admission these days(harder than PSBB admissions).
Jayalalitha reverts everything. Converts males to females, libraries into markets,...

Nice masala film
When I saw inception, the first thing that came to my mind was “Poda. This and all one movie eh”. I mean, a dream within a dream within a dream. Stupidly frivolous stuff. This was when I decided to write my own script for DiCaprio. So here we go.
The first thing that the audience gets to see on screen is Dacaprio’s name coming out of the water, in all watery font and stuff...

Characters
Ram - Calm, composed guy. Teetotaler(Except when he tasted Vodka once out of peer pressure). One woman man.
Laxman - Hyper enthu guy. Too much respect for his brother. Wannabe hip-hop guy. His Facebook account reads his first name as “Laky” and last name as “Back with a bang”. However “Back with a bang” is definitely not his father’s name.

Driving and Thriving
Our Indian 2-wheeler driving test is pretty much ridiculous. A simplistic 8 offers you no harbinger of the things you get to face on an Indian road, or rather the lack of it. Let me brief you on what you get to see generally on Indian roads.

While most people talk of the emerging upper middle class and their tremendous progress, most of us forget to talk about the Thuppar...

Good education for make benefit glorious nation of...
As I dumped my FIITJEE books to scrap, I noticed a few termites walking out of them. They seemed to appear knowledgeable and pedantic having consumed papers from IIT math, physics and chemistry books and were strutting out of the books with aplomb. As I saw this, it brought memories of my own IIT preparation.

Poda! Gym is a lot of strain
The moment your paunch is in the nascent stage, people starting reacting differently to you. The ‘end of conversation hi-fives’ are replaced with punches to your stomach(Some people punch with a “Dish Dish Bush Bush” bgm). This is when you realize your inchoate paunch is in a precarious position, enclosed in a dangerous world, filled with Mike Tysons who have a desire to...

Saar! Auto?
“Is it a bird? Is it a plane?” is what your mind questions as the Chennai auto whizzes past you transgressing any form of existing traffic norms in the world. “Kaide (chennai tamil for donkey), its my auto da” would be his response had he heard your question from the renowned Superman franchise. Adorned with a khakhi shirt that goes over a purple t-shirt with the image of a...

You and your DSLR
When Manmohan Singh opened up the economy, little did he know the ramifications of it. Yes, we have great plasma TVs, IT jobs and foreign cheerleaders in our tournaments and calendars. But it has brought in some side effects as well. As I browse through my Facebook feed through various tinted photographs of poor people and crows making out on a high tension power line, it only compounds my...

Cleverly tackling a South Indian meal
I get nettled when I see people getting stuck with a South Indian thali looking clueless. It pains me when I see a north Indian at Sarvana Bhavan ordering extra rasam in the form of an insinuation i.e “Get me that maroon coloured liquid with low viscosity”. The waiter promptly gets a bottle of coke in response. To relieve you of all this delirium, I have now set upon a task of...
