Ek,Do, Teen,Chaar & a PUNCH :)

Image
I was born and bought up in Chennai ,though I studied in KV the only hindi word that time I or most of my friends   knew was “Jai Hind” and only hindi song we knew was “Jana, gana, mana...”.  Many years later only I came to know that even that was not hindi.  We started liking Hindi after   Tezaab movie I was 10years old then. That’s when almost everyone in Tamilnadu would have learnt one, two, three in hindi ek, do, teen...When we saw madhuri dance, all of us immediately understood that Hindi was the best language,Hindi humara mathrbasha hain J _ !  How we wished Madhuri to be our teacher! She made learning so easy … J Before Tezaab happened, we used to watch a hindi film only on a Saturday evening which will be shown on Doordarshan.And also some hindi we get to hear were from black and white news reels played in the theatres before every movie.  I was told that screening them was compulsory in those days.Mostly Gandhi ji used to walk in fast mode in those reels .

A 'cooker' (i)n me !

Image
      Kitchen is the most important room in the house. Our lifespan is decided here. A right portion in wrong quantity or wrong portion in right quantity can rest you in the restroom for the rest of the day. I have a dubious record of setting fire to my house ,twice I did when I was less than 7 years ,since then I was never allowed to even light a match box at home, I was even barred from entering kitchen, however,  my love for Jaggery and Horlicks couldn't stop me find my way into the kitchen . During the course if anything was broken, I was the one who will be  invariably summoned. If the stove didn't burn, my mother will look at me like  its  you???. ..So much so that even if  a fire engine entered near my area , ..my father would ask ..Got anything to say????  So I never got a chance to cook anything ...apart from stories ;).... It continued till my first marriage. ... I mean my only marriage!            Some of my friends cook a bit but talk a lot...

Link your Aadhaar with Aadhaar !

A day spent well,successfully  linked my bank account ,insurance policy, mutual funds,mobile number ,paytm etc... even linked my Aadhaar number with Aadhaar number ... :) My friends where saying that supreme court will extend the deadline and we will get more 3 months ,but me knowing me very well decided to complete the task before I will become the real me :) Iam sure you will know that there is a case against this in supreme court ,asking Aadhaar not to be made Mandatory ,but what iam not sure is if you know that ,the advocates who are arguing the case need an Aadhaar to even pursue the case ... cant believe ??? let me explain The Bar Council of India has made Aadhaar compulsory for all the members who register with it.,as we know registration with the Bar Council is mandatory for practising as lawyer.. This means that the advocates who are arguing the case to make Aadhaar not mandatory, have to mandatorily give their Aadhaar registration to continue arguing in the case

Katrina Kaif  ,Emoticons & Bitco(i)ns

Katrina Kaif  ,Emoticons & Bitco(i)ns This week I read a news item which said emoticons will change the way we communicate & Crypto-currencies will replace current form of money in future .This intrigued me and I decided to do an epic research on these two (which lasted less than 10 mins) , so that I can sound more intelligent during my conversations with friends and colleagues …who I know will be least interested in me or my so called being intelligent  J When reading articles on the both the topics I had to tackle a lot of written ‘hi-jinks’ and understand what the hell they are trying to say…then I  remembered that  writers /bloggers operate on one principle that is to find words while they write which does not make any sense to average people like me … they resort to this whenever they want to show off…. JJ so now you know why  I used the word hi-jinks here  J J ok..ok...I am coming to the topic …emoticons has become such a rage across the world that by just using

Button Idly and Nirav Modi !

Yesterday I was travelling from Bengaluru to Mumbai and had to take an Indigo flight. I had  completed crash courses in Karate,Kungfu,Taikonde,Kalaripaitu,Silambattam  even in Mujra never know which one will come handy ... J  As I was entering the airport first I had to show my ID proof and ticket to go inside the airport. Then I had to show my ticket but not ID proof to stand in a line... At the counter the checkin staff wanted to see my ID proof and ticket to give me a boarding pass. Then the CISF person wanted to see boarding pass but not ID proof, this is point I was thinking  if only PNB did half of these checks Nirav modi would have been still around.... J  Since I skipped my lunch wanted to have quick bite, ordered for Button IDLYs and bottle of water,for this I paid so much money that had decided to keep half of the idlys in a bank locker so that it can be used   in case of any family emergency :) Then at the boarding gate saw few passengers who are dedicated

Epidemic called Marathon !

Disclaimer :This is based on my own experience and any remote connection in anybody's life is purely coincidental . :) Epidemic called Marathon! I guess Parliament should immediately convene and pass a resolution on this running fever that is spreading fast in this country should be officially declared a dangerous epidemic... Ask the non runners  how alarming the situation is? I will tell you... My wife & daughter inspite of last years experience  of pushing me to run ..oops! participating in a Marathon event near our neighbourhood  got me registered for this years event as well -4KM FUN RUN(or hell run).  She knows very well that I  must not have covered a sum total of 1.2 km of running in my  life . ... :) I tried my best convincing her explaining the perils of running on a chill February Sunday earllllllyyyyyy morning(6.30am) ,the impact it will have on my sleep(er)-cells :)... well ..you know that had to be only ignored .. I saw dragging myself towards
