Blogging ....... all the way!!!!!!!!

I recently came across an article in the TOI, wherein an employee of Google was promoting the advantages of blogging to a passer-by. It was a good article .... worth readin.

I feel blogging is the best way to express your thoughts, share your ideas about anythin ..... and its the new trend among all the tech-savvy ppl like me ;) ......

So I would suggest everyone to create their own blogs and start blogging ....

Way to go Google and 3 cheers to such free blogging sites ......!!!!!!!!

The "Much Awaited" Screening Test ..........

Hailing from a typical Hindu family, one of the most hilarious incident's that we actually come across is the "Bride/Groom Selection Process" and thus thought of penning down the same.... so enjoy ur ride ....... !!!!!!!

After a string of phone calls and adequate matching of horoscopes and lot of consultations with the astrologers regarding the match, the D-Day finally arrives when the guy and the girl meet formally and what i call as "The Screening Test". A typical such meet would have the room filled with at least 4 elders from either side, the grooms younger brother, brides elder sister and a few other people whose presence at that moment is thoroughly unwanted, undesired and yet mysteriously inevitable. More often the conversation would run something on these lines:

-----------------------------------
The "Groom" arrives escorted by his courtiers.

Bride’s dad is trying to find the Groom among the courtiers .....

The groom is already having a tough time sitting among the crowd unlike his privacy in his cubicle. And of late he realizes he doesn’t even know half the people he has arrived with.

The Bride's father not knowin as to from where does he have to start the conversation, begins like tis ........

" Ah! It’s getting so hot/cold/damp/dark/sunny these days. This city is not what it used to be 15 years ago".

And the conversation takes new diversions right from maintaining roads to Politics.

The bride’s mother enters with the refreshment. She motions the elder sister to serve and the Groom is still panting for breath among the crowd.

And now its time for the Bride to enter and suddenly everybody's eyes are on this poor gal who is havin a tough time managing herself in the 6 yard cloth. She suddenly feels like an exhibit thts bein inaugurated midst a curious audience.

She is asked to sit among the curious lookin audience.

The Bride's father now speaks to the Groom about the Company inwhich he works for and appreciates him for bein a part of tht Organization. The Gal feels all the more demotivated ... " As if I am not into a good organization and this piece of nerd is tryin to impress evryone here".

And the Groom says "Yes"
The Girl's parents then ask the Boy to ask the Girl anythin.

And the next inmmediate thin tht he can think of would be " A Date".

The Boy would then ask her about her college riding high on his IIT credentials.

After such highly irrelevant questions, there is suddenly a lull all over again.

The Divine Messengers from the groom side"so is the month of August suitable for you to arrange for the wedding sir? "

The Bride and Groom are still confused as to when did they agree to get married.....


But the Groom's parents propose a later date for the proceedings.

And finally "THE END " of the Screening Test ......

-------------------------------------

Is it that we Indians are still in the closet of Arranged marriages where it says " I know what is better for you!!!!!"????

And the question remains unanswered .................

A few lines from my fav song ......

Here are a few lines from my Fav song "Nerruu Illaatha maarum " , Film: Pudhiya Mugham, Music Director: A.R. Rahman, Lyrics: Vairamuthu. These are my fav lines ....

கடவுள் இல்லை என்றேன் , தாயை காநும் வரை
கனவு இல்லை என்றேன் , ஆஸை தோன்றும் வரை
காதல் பொஇ என்று ஸோன்னேன் உன்னை காநும் வரை

Murphy's Laws revisited

I suppose this is somethin which everyone of us come across in our daily lives. So, thought of publishing my own share of experiences with these laws.

I start for office at around 9 AM everyday coz i need to report sharp at 10 AM and it easily takes me an hour or more to reach office. Couple of dayz back when i started off early to office thinkin I would get late coz of the heavy traffic jam ..... to my surprise there was no Traffic jam and i reached office about half-an hour earlier thn my usual time. And again there was a day, which was supposed to be a public holiday, I started off a bit late thinkin i would reach too early. To my surprise I got caught in a heavy traffic-jam, it was worse thn the normal dayz and I reached half-an hour late.

I have experienced this very common law: The queue in which ur standin would move slowly when compared to the other queues and when u try to jump to the other queue, ur previous queue starts moving ahead of the present one. Tooo funny :))

There are again times when u come across people whom u really donot want to meet that particular day, :)). I mean times when ur Gal is with u and ur mom gets to see u both holdin hands and in a very cozy position .... gosh ...... end of the Kahani!!!!!!!!!
