To all those guys out there..
How many times have you been dragged into a jewel shop or worse still a cloth shop by your mum or you better half or whatever and did not know how to kill those million hours when your women folk forget you exist and fall in love with those saris and those many named jewels?
Well as a kid I went around playing or chatting with the watchman but a couple of days back I guessed it would look to awkward for a guy 6 feet to inches to jog around playing catch-catch.
I sat down with dad and granddad and we spoke about this and that and the unfortunate species that is men.
This was a discussion between three generations mind you and yes there was a rich exchange of ideas. I ve always silently observed this phenomenon of trends repeating and a perfect example of it was that my grand dad and me never had a mustache..ma granddad because Brahmans should never have one and me because I thought it was cool. My dad being the slow learner that he is (CA 1st attempt 16th rank) realised this only about a week back.
Someway, the convo lead to shaving and my dad made an interesting observation. Now its a common knowledge among men-folk that the skin becomes rougher and rougher because of shaving, and CA asked me why his skin between the lips and the nose (yea you guessed it where the mustache once was) was rougher than the rest of his face. After all he had shaved it once in his life.
The experienced moustache shavers grandpa and me explained to him that the mush part of the face is a lot more hyper and grows hair a lot faster and so is inherently rougher.
We went on to discuss how its a pain to shave the mush stub as there are many a purturbations in this part which deter efficient shaving and also discussed various methods.
It was such a surprize to realise there was so much to shaving which men had not come forward to discuss, you see men seldom discuss their problems in the open and hence seem like they dont have problems at all.
Slowly some more jobless dads sons and grandpas joined our group
1)they were jobless
2)this was an interesting topic
and I was quick to point out how there was so much to discuss about beards.
In fact we soon found out how the beard made each one of us remember some particular occasion in life..ranging from a failed love affair or a particular bad shaving day or even something like....

baggy green and valour?
Aussie cricket has always been known for its exemplary behavior both on and off the field. One more aspect that stands out has been their courage.
For the ignorant, the Aussies have boycotted numerous matches in Srilanka and Pakistan "due to security reasons". Add to this a cowardly whirlwind tour of Zimbabwe in 2006.
In the 1996 world cup, the Australians did not play a single match against Srilanka because of the LTTLE problem. On the outside it might seem sensible but a little thought can show you how paranoid and crazy the kangaroos were.
The LTTLE is an insurgency problem and unlike the Jaish or Lakshar do not target "white skins". Their only attack is Srilankans. One might argue that in the ground Srilankas might also be present, but there was enough security provided which proved to be insufficient for the Aussies. It was at this juncture that (i dont know which commentator) famously asked the Australians to wear bangles.
History repeated itself in 2008 when the Aussies unceremoniously cancelled the Pak tour citing security reasons which would have made the PCB incur huge loses. What beats me is, when George Bush and Condoleesa Rice or even an LK Advani can tour pakistan without fear, why cant the Aussies? I cant find a reason why Lakshar or Jaish or any other organisations would prefer Aussie cricketers as targets over political leaders. Well agreed, there are people who hate the Aussie team more than they hate Bush (yours truly included) but no, not enough to provoke detonators.
Australias future commitments and some comments:
2008
India (away series)
There is so much inflation and that is a big security concern. No we banned logical thinking long ago.
2009
Pakistan (at home)
Mohammad Asif is a drug addict
South Africa (away)
We have many horny players and we DONT want them infected with STDs.
Ashes(away)
There was a minor burglary in rural southampton.
2010
Zimbabwe and Kenya (it no longer matters home or away)
NO WAY. havent u seen blood diamond?
USA(new entry into test cricket)
Their president's name sounds like Osama. We better keep away.
2011
West Indies
Kids no longer play cricket :(, those who play have migrated to India to play in the IPL.

whai oh whaai?
A thriving businessman was spending his well earned holiday in a secluded resort just by the river overlooking the hills far away from the bustle of the city, one with nature. And as all trendy people do he went out fishing to the river where he met a man, a peasant man, dressed not-so-smartly fishing too.
Being the hardworking guy that he was, he was irritated generally by these people who lacked foresight, never had any ambitions, never worked 18 hrs a day, never Ever deserved a holiday. All the pent up anger came out on the stranger in a jiffy. He wanted to ask a million questions. How he could waste his life. How he could not do anything worthwhile whole day?How he could be such a loser in life.
The peasant just smiled in reply. He enquired as to what his "motive in life" was. The business man oh so confident replied as to how he wanted to build a huge empire, become really successful, earn so much so that he never needed to worry about his Grey days, so he could come out on more such fishing expeditions.
The peasant said "aint I doing what your planning to do every day"?
So goes a popular story
Another one in this vein is that of a hare who saved all the nuts he earned so he could eat them all together in his old age and later found he didn't have teeth.
I do think of these crazy things time again, atleast they inspire me to not work hard and live in the present. Short as life is, my philosophy has always been to not work too hard.And yea have oodles of fun.
Always found it crazy how people go to these 18 hr a day jobs 360 days a year far away from family, with a computer to call as a buddy. Lots of parents of friends, my parents too although just sometimes. Whats the point? The ones i can think of are the following
1) it gives lots of power and (wo)man has always had a HUGE fetish for power
2)Some just work because they are afraid the society might not approve of a fun loving jolly kinda guy.
3)oh yea ambition. To get maximum out of life.
But at what cost? People do believe they are having fun doing what they are currently doing. That much needed one week with my family once in two years. That day i spent with my wife, oh was it about a dozen years back? My son's in 5th oh no 6th std, oh wait hes in boarding school, I give the best for my son :D.
Neighbours-oh those people on either side of my house
friends- i had loads back then, but being the ambitious man i am, have lost contact with most.
Weren't those people in the earlier centuries a million times happier? Having a lot more fun. Speaking to live humans.
Its a talent to balance fun and work, to satisfy your ambitions, do something useful as well as make sure there are no regrets on those lost days that would never come back.
I hope I choose an occupation where I ll enjoy myself, would probably never compromise myself for that extra penny.
I would probably earn just enough to lead a nice life have lots of fun, lots and lots of fun, trust me on those dying moments I would have a lot more pleasant memories marqueeing past me. I ll die with a smile

the autorikshaw angels of mumbai
For the chennaites: The following events are true however unbelievable they may sound.
Night 11pm heavy rains and we had to get back to our hostel, a distance of about 700-800 metres.
The rains in mumbai can have a big impact on ur head and till you get used to it you will just go nuts and not know what to do. 3 classmates of mine and me decided to take an auto.
Born and brought up in Chennai I knew I would be paying about a 100 bucks. anyway 25 bucks per person sounded fine.
We called an auto, he immediately asked us to board, and turned the meter on. I wouldnt take something as atrocious as that, and I told him in my broken hindi that I did not trust people who use meters as they are all heated up(sooduvechufied) and usually show the price of the autorikshaw. He assured me nothing of that sort was going to happen.
5 minutes later, after an eventless journey he asked me NINE rupees. I was sure that either "now" in hindi no longer meant nine or he was referring to ninety.
My friend handed a ten rupee note and that bugger hands 1 rupee back.
Dont autorikshaws in mumbai charge triple because they carry four people?
What about the heavy rains?
And comon the petrol prices have been hiked.
They might not get a passenger at my destination so i have to pay for return fare also?
Oh and what about the one-way lanes in the middle?
What about rounding off the one rupee? or even a 10 rupees above the meter?
In a daze i walked back to my room as a lot of things crossed my mind.
1)in chennai we are being HARASSED by autos very very unfairly
2)Their point that the cant afford it is utter nonsense. They charge exponential fares.
3)ITs high time we did something together, started calling 100 everytime we face this bullshit.
Please do tell me your views its not often that i write sense ;)

sheeesh am gonna die :-(
this is probably the first semi technical entry am writing and is incidentally the first time am publishing something i found out. (ok i have not found out lot of things still...)
As everyone by now knows there are no girls in my college so I was just consoling myself saying I will most probably going to France(yes EVA GREENE lives there) the next year or the year after that.
Just when I was feeling so euphoric about this a thought struck me. What if I die before this?
Sheesh I would die a virgin I would die without kids, I would die single and even without watching the third IPL.
I sat down and tried calculating the probability I would survive this mishap. The sheer monstrosity of the numbers shook me and make me rethink my priorities.
What is the chance I will survive a day in Chennai?
factors considered:
1)I live in the coastal town of Chennai hence vulnerable to Tsunami and Sea surging due to global warming.
2)I play soccer with great enthusiasm and combined with the pleasant climate of chennai might hence cause death due to sun stroke.
3)I live in CMI where food is bad and(mosquitoes) hence I might contract a lot of diseases like cancer, TB, dengue, SARS, i have started eating eggs hence i can get killed due to bird flu :(
4)Am in a college known for its rigorous curriculum and am a normal teenager so there are these oodles of opportunities to fall into depression
5)I drive my bike like crazy and i also live in T.Nagar where the devil dare not drive.
6)I support Indian team in hockey and Federar on clay and Real Madrid for Champion's league
7)
Wait lets stop here and evaluate,
Data:
5)1150 deaths in a year in chennai. Population of chennai 4.7 million of which only 25 lakh drive 2 wheelers. in there 25 lakhs only about 1% 25,000 people drive as crazy as me.
hence probability i ll die of an accident is 4/365=0.01%
2)sunstroke deaths negligible
3)death due to various medical ailments: 1,60,000 a year in tamil nadu. Implies probability is 0.005%
4)suicide rate among teenagers 148 among 1 million probability is 0.0001
adding all this gives 0.0151 is the probability i will die on a particular day. How rosy?
So the probability i will survive a day is 100-0.0151=99.9849
the probability i will survive 2 years = probability i will survive 730 days
=99.9849^730=89%
there is a 11% chance i will die!!!!!
in 10 years it increases to 43% and in 20 years 73% OH MY GOD
I dont drink nor smoke, i dont have sex and this staggering number.
There is one in a tenth chance i wont graduate. Do you even realise what it means? I would have never experienced college life like a normal teenager, agreed i would have watched a lot more movies, interacted with a lot more bongs, I will know hell lot more physics. But I would be dead.
But wait a minute I have been alive for 20 years which is a miracle by itself. So have many of my friends. Anyways am not THAT depressed because with or without driving crazy bikes, theres a goood chance ur gonna DIE.
Numbers or no numbers, our lives our such we don't know when it will end. Live life when you can have a lotta fun ;) live it like it was your last day on earth ;)

MAX's efforts in vain as IPL is a HYUGE hit
Most of you cricket crazy people have been following IPL and have of course had your moments of joy and sorrow. Its been real fun watching the games. But there's one little thing am very upset about. Its the coverage by SET MAX.
The Hindi movie broadcaster have OUTRIGHTLY sucked ever since they ventured into telecasting matches. In their formative years being so desperate and failing to match ESPN Star's (ES) expertise they stooped down to the levels of bringing the legendary Mandira Bedi to ask questions like "What is a Doosra? Will India win today? and many such things that reminded you of Tamil movie heroines' dialogues. But you could probably give it to her for being so hot at the age of 78 but it was clearly irritating to watch Charu Sharma drooling rather than presenting a cricket show.
Just when I thought I had seen the last of these bufoons comes MAX, that too to host IPL. Although they managed to steal some good commentators from ES, they still suck as much as NEO sports does.
There are different aspects to their suckiness
1) having ranjit fernando and aamir sohail.
now, I don't really know how MR. RF gets these assignments. Maybe he plays the sympathy card. I heard there is some reservation for tsunami hit countries and RF being the only guy who knows good English in the island nation
I ve hated RF right from my childhood because of the stupid shit he speaks on air. It changed to total hatred the night of the match between Bangladesh and India in the 2007 world cup. I along with millions of indians was matching the match with great agony. India was tottering with Bangladesh chasing so comfortably when RF failing to contain his amusement said "India is sorely missing someone in the likes of Chaminda Vaas or Maharoof". Yes you moron there are no better bowlers than Maharoof and stop speaking about srilanka when its TOTALLY irrelevant.
I also hate the way he pronounces "deliveries" sounds like "DAHLLIWORRIES" he keeps saying it all the time. :(( . His most useful insights into the game include
"the gameplan of this partnership is to score runs in quick time without getting out" woooow isnt that a totally creative thing to say?
kapugedara sucking big time with the bat "very promising batsman hes doing his job so beautifully in the centre" yes dude you are a srilankan but please speak some sense once in a while?
"if Chennai bats well, you never know they can win this game" i have no comments for this
"Joginder Sharma is such an experienced campaigner"
i ve forgotten many others which were probably a lot more insightful nevertheless...
i thought of some innovative stuff to stay on air myself:
"Jayasuriya Murali and jayawardene rock"
"sangakkara rocks"
"chandrika kumaratunga rocks"
"if it rains too much there is a chance the match might be abandoned due to rain"
"orange cap is orange in color"
Coming to Aamir sohail he has serious problems with his pronounciation. He says Sahwag Dallli (delhi)
Today he said Sangwan is an experienced campaigner..dude he is 17 and has played 5 matches.
One of these days they did a Doordarshan by screwing up their telecast as a result the match couldnt start. Ever heard of "match delayed due to stupid tv guys?"
Yesterday riya sen came to the studio during the ten minute break. 2 minutes ad 3 minutes the anchor who's paid max for presenting the show 5 minutes arun lal explaining the nuances of kolkattas wicket. I could see riya's face for 10 seconds :( really PISSES ME OFF :( :(
The cameras are another eye sore. Bad and CRAZY angles making me feel its better to watch from the ground. I dont seriously know how they manage such weird angles which are pretty much unheard of on television.
No Activesports so i cant catch up if i was out on a date or if my grandparents insisted on watching Kolangal serial.
And yea the worst is
these commentators saying "That is a DLF six" or "CITI moment of success"
Please give it back to EspnStar we want to watch some intelligent cricket. A humble request from a true cricket lover.

see em eye
It actually stands for College only for Men in India and is often mistaken to stand for something associated with mathematics. It gained independence in 1998 and is now fooling around on its own. Other achievements include building a beautiful monument in the great Indian desert in interior Tamil Nadu which is yet to get the boon of electricity. By this the institution has achieved what no one else could achieve- provide employment opportunities to so many drivers, cleaners, and help rake in handsome profits to the highways authority of india. Needless to say added perks for working in this college include joyful rides on the ECR and OMR everyday (wowwy) and massaging rides on the roads of Siruseri (some people again wrongly think these roads were ploughed and are ready for irrigation). In fact the Indian government is planning to introduce camels to add to the fleet of dogs and the crowd of cats and snakes here and very soon Siruseri national park will be commisioned under the auspices of APA, a reputed astro-zoologist.
I shall not comment on bongs who plague cmi (duh i need to live peacefully for the next two years) or the nutritive food got here. No its slightly better than in the sahara where they live on date palms and camel milk. We even have mineral water.
People here are of different shapes and sizes. Contrary to expectations a lot many are not geeky and many play soccer and cricket. But a few of them have lost it because of 8-9 years in the sulky environment and go the extent of using veet on their hands, growing long hair and complaining about losing screwdrivers and the smell of mosquito coil. Many think these people are gay but this is so not true.
Popular pastimes include watching Shawshank redemption and loving it, watchin pulp fiction and drooling over samuel jackson, using seminar halls for educative movies during weekends and complaining about food. Downloading movies and deleting them is the in thing nowadays. People also often go into hallucinations about non existent chicks.
People bathe everyday and dress smart. People are honest and never copy in exams, no one watches pornography.
well i can go on poking fun..BUT
however much we whine about it CMI is still close to our heart we love our college we adore the management, to put it frankly theres no other place thats half as good as our beloved....muah
I shall not comment on bongs who plague cmi (duh i need to live peacefully for the next two years) or the nutritive food got here. No its slightly better than in the sahara where they live on date palms and camel milk. We even have mineral water.
People here are of different shapes and sizes. Contrary to expectations a lot many are not geeky and many play soccer and cricket. But a few of them have lost it because of 8-9 years in the sulky environment and go the extent of using veet on their hands, growing long hair and complaining about losing screwdrivers and the smell of mosquito coil. Many think these people are gay but this is so not true.
Popular pastimes include watching Shawshank redemption and loving it, watchin pulp fiction and drooling over samuel jackson, using seminar halls for educative movies during weekends and complaining about food. Downloading movies and deleting them is the in thing nowadays. People also often go into hallucinations about non existent chicks.
People bathe everyday and dress smart. People are honest and never copy in exams, no one watches pornography.
