He is watching Times Now. Lots of women, in the name of fashion are skimpily dressed. And they are suggesting that by taking bath in phenyle, the body remains cool and no bad odour arises. He is drooling at those women
She: Inniku rama navami. Ramar eka patni viradhan. Innikavadhu indha joLLa mootai katti vakka koodadho?
He: Appo Krishna Jayanthi anniku gopikas kooda jalsa pannina unakku okay va?
She:!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Srirama Navami. Beat the heat. Drink Panagam
Actually am seriously thinking of moving to Hosur, and commute to bangalore daily from there.
Positives
1. Damn cheap cost of living. You get a spacious 2 Bedroom apartment for 2500 Rs 
2. Less polluted, good roads
3. Petrol costs less (47 Rs per litre, as compared to 51 Rs per litre in Bangalore)
4. Sambhar or for that matter food is not sweet
5. Broadband etc available at almost same rates of bangalore.
6. Can afford to buy a huge house at 1/3rd the price of what is available in bangalore.
Negatives
1. Would need to travel 80 kms every day. (But if I buy a car, this should be ok)
2. Most of the travel will be on highway. Risky!
3. Very far from bangalore airport/railway station. Connectivity not as good as Bangalore, ofcourse!
4. No Hutch 
Airtel and other service providers GPRS is pathetic!
Hmmmm? Is it worth taking a risk since I might end up saving around 8 to 10K per month?

Yesterday, I saw an ad for Binary Watches at the Forum. Binary Watches? I got curious, googled and managed to find this information at Wiki. Though wiki has information only on Binary Clocks , there are lots of shopping portals like glowgadget,buy.com etc featuring Binary watches. And I was amused to find a Kerala Trance binary watch. And it costs 80 pounds. Gasp! By the time you decipher the time, it would be a different time. Or would anyone spend so much time, to decipher the time?
Ok, looks like this wardrobe malfunction in some fashion show is creating the news. I was watching TV sometime back and this was the main news item in CNN-IBN, Times Now, NDTV and Star News!!
Taking this further, Machi TV brings to you exclusively a breaking news.
Youth Arrested for Wardrobe Malfunction.
Bangalore. April 4. Subramani, a Software engineer was residing in Koramangala, Bangalore. Mr Subramani has the habit of wearing lungi at home. It so happened, on the 2nd of april Mr Subramani opened the door of his house in the morning to collect newspaper. At that time, his lungi malfunctioned and fell down. This was spotted on google earth by some people. The media rushed to Koramangala within a minute and caught subramani lungi handed just sporting Sudermani undergarments.
This started creating waves in India, with MMS clip of lungi malfunction spreading everywhere. Within 15 minutes, the moral police landed in bangalore and rushed to Koramangala, shouting ‘Shame Shame puppy Shame. Subramani, Shame shame puppy shame’. CM Kumaraswamy rushed to the spot and ordered a CBI Probe in the area(Koramangala I mean)
Radio Sudermani..err..Radio Jockey Vasanthi, announces this on Radio City 91 FM and asks listeners to send in a sms with latest updates.
Planned Incident
Meanwhile, in a separate development Mr Thangamani CEO of Sudermani undergarments is being interrogated by the police. They are trying to find out if this was a stage-set show, to promote Sudermani undergarments. Interestingly the police found that Mr Thangamani himself was wearing Jockey undergarments!
Political Developments
The moment this news started trickling, the political parties in TamilNadu were immediately cashing on it. DMK has made a last minute adjustment in its election manifesto. They have promised to give free Belts(Green Color) to all people wearing lungi, if elected to power. Communist party of India, expresses its support to Subramani since he was wearing a desi underwear that too red in color.
Lungi Idle
Times Now is coming up with a new series called Lungi Idle, to capture the untapped potential in the indian youth. Industry watchers say that this program will provide a tough competition to indian idol
Blog Impact
A group of enraged bloggers, were upset that this was infringing on their lungi space. And says every one deserves by birth right, freedom of air. So they have got together and are contemplating on a group blog called as lungipundit, showcasing the best of lungi sphere(?)
Religious Impact
RSS chief Sudrashan issues a statement saying that wearing langot is hindu culture, and hindus should refrain from wearing western under garments. Meanwhile, the secular leaders have requested people to remain calm and hold on tightly to their lungies and came up with a mission statement ‘Lungi chaddi bhai bhai’
Meanwhile, if you have anything to say on this please be our citizen journalist and send your message to 69 
Will update this post accordingly 
Dear Colleague,
If you want to replace your desk phone, please raise a call with the admin and get it replaced. Desk phones are not like slippers in temples/wedding halls. Someone takes mine, so I take someone else’s! And, what have you done to this phone? It looks like a TV Serial actress without makeup?
Remember by taking away my phone, you have encountered my wrath. You don’t know my track record. My curses(no, not the blogger) always come true. May you be flooded with calls from credit card companies, home/personal/car loan folks, country club sales guys. And if at all someone with a nice voice gets to call you it will be a wrong number, and they will disconnect the call before you try to engage in a conversation. The display on your cell phone will be scratched beyond recognition.
Your Colleague
P.S. Atleast you could have just taken away my phone. Why did you insult me by placing this phone?
Checklist for a person to be called as a chennaiite.
Vishwanathan Anand accumulates more than 2800 ELO points. And this I get to know from a Cuban article.
He is the most successful Indian Sportsperson ever, and he hardly gets any attention.
The Mumbai cop who raped a minor girl has been sentenced to 12 years by the court. 12 years is too less for this crime!
And there is no news on the call centre incident that happened in bangalore, sometime in early december. Wish that fellow is sentenced to death!
Friday 31st march
By evening I suddenly got a doubt. If there is a master conspiracy behind this vodkathon. Whether people will actually turn up, or I will end up the biggest fool(not that I am not a fool).
Saturday 1st April
06.30 AM:
Ravages calls me and informs that he missed his train, due to work load. And he is doubtful. Uh-oh
07.00 AM:
Chenthil sends a sms, that he is on the train. Good. Atleast one more person
11.00 AM:
I get a webcam from Maverick, and mock test the connectivity using my mobile.
02.00 PM:
Chenthil sends a sms, he has reached bangalore. Hurray!!!
06.00 PM:
Chenthil reaches my place. No sign of anyone else. Ravages drops out
07.00 PM:
Like going for a business meet, we get all ready with laptop, charger, camera, mobile, webcam, USB cables etc etc
07.30 PM:
We call shyam, and we are greeted with the voice mail. And Muthu doesnt pick up his phone! Newton(without the apple) sends a sms, he is coming. Good. So including MadMan 4 people in total
07.55 PM:
We reach Shiok, and at same time Shyam and Kris call up confirming their attendance. Great! Muthu calls up and enquires, if we are making a fool oh him 
08.00 PM:
We make a blog post, that vodkathon is on! And we start with the 1st round. If am not wrong, this was the only round in which we ordered something on our own. MadMan(the official bouncer for the party) ordered for us, in the remaining rounds. Needless to say the cocktails MadMan ordered were the best
08.15 PM:
We shift to a bigger table, since we all had an intuition more people will turn up. We are through with our first round and go ahead with the next one. Newton(without the apple) calls us saying that he is waiting below Shiok, and asks us how to get in????Luckily he finds his way and gets in soon Actually there was ample opportunity for us to rag Newton, but we saved it for some other day Anita sends a sms, if she needs to bring a bottle of vodka. And she said she will reach in another 30 mins. Industry observers say 30 mins in Anitas watch can mean anything between 45 mins to 1 hour
08.30 PM:
Muthu enters with a huge water melon. Till now I havent understood the significance of Water Melon at a vodka-blog-cocktail meet And much to the our surprise, he says he has quit drinking, smoking,flirting, snoring and what not. Critics say that Muthu will be shifting to Hrishikesh/Haridwar pretty soon and change his name to Swamy MuthuGoneAnanda. By this time we suddenyl realise that we were supposed to make blog posts after every round. So in a hurry Chenthil comes up with his pakeezah post. Hic!
08.45 PM:
Anita makes a grand entrance. And asks for a screwdriver(For the atheists, thats the not spiritual ones, Screwdriver is a cocktail). Shortly we are joined by Geetha, Boony,Murali, Rajiv Poddar and his friend! Geetha and Rajiv get into a discussion on the significant differences on the appearance of a vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Newton meanwhile is busy categorising what drink is a girls drink, and whats not. Kris says he hasnt had sex on the beach(For dummies, Sex on the beach is a cocktail). Ahem! Meanwhile Chenthil keeps gulping round after round. He is 1 round ahead of the rest!
09.45 PM onwards
Connectivity goes away, since the laptop is low on charge. So we put it on charge, and get back to what we were doing. Anita and Madman take lots of PC Sriram type pictures. Madman fools Anita by saying that, he is the bartender for the Bar Camp. And Anita actually believes it
We talk(i.e. make fun) about lot many bloggers, blogs etc. A mini round of introduction happens. People didnt believe when Chenthil said he was a potato seller. And geetha a chartered accountant, told us that she was not good at accounts and maths :O We had enough fun, and vaguely remembered that we needed to blog too. As expected, we forgot about it
11.00 PM:
Much to the relief of MadMan, we finally order for dinner. And the logistics of getting back home is briefly discussed. And some more rounds of leg pulling, photos, cocktail gulping etc etc happens!
Sunday, 2nd April
12.15 AM:
Vodkathon declared a grand success, and future plans of wine-a-thon, basic-instinct-2-a-thon,whisky-a-thon etc is planned. Anita drops us(Me and Chenthil) at home.
12.45 AM:
We reach home. And chenthil is majorly sloshed. And he had a train at 6 AM in the morning to catch. Luckily, he wakes up at 4.45 itself in the morning and catches the train on time.
Special Thanks to MadMan, without whose help this event wouldnt have been a grand success. And to all the participants. Cheers! And a big cheers to Sudhish and Darshan, for virtually joining us by spirit!
Sorry readers. Couldnt post that much, since we were too busy gulping and chatting
Click here for pictures
As per schedule, Vodkathon is on! Those of you who want to plug in online, message me in yahoo messenger. prabhu_ferrarivodkathaon@gmail.com.
Update at 09.00 PM
Seven guys in total. Chenthil, Newton, Sathish, Shyam, myself, Madhu and Muthu (on juice). Anita and her friend are expected to join in pretty soon!
Hic!
Conclusion after round 1. “All IT guys are not bloggers, and all bloggers are not IT guys!”
Update at 09.43 PM:
After round 2: Sathish admits that he hasnt had sex on the beach. Ahem!
And Chenthil got reminded of some girl’s foot. Err. check here…
After Round xxxx:
The vodkathon, as expected, is going well and things have reached newer heights.
A few secrets have already been spilt. Including Sathish who refused a ‘Sex on the Beach’ (much to our amazement) because he wants to do it first before he drinks it! And Chentil, who admitted that he has made his millions (or lakhs anyway) being a potato seller! Chenthil is also on his nth drink, thus proving again that people who sell potatoes have high threshold!
Newton in the meanwhile is trying hard to be anonymous because he is still waiting for someone to chuck an apple on his head to reveal his real name. We’re looking for an apple seller now.
Meanwhile contemplating throwing out Muthu from the gathering since he has given up vodka for his woman. For his woman! Do guys do that anymore?? I seriously want to meet his woman, I say
Our shadow blogger, Geetha has made an appearance and being a Tamil, all the other Tams (read: all of them!) are very excited about this new appearance on the block.
A few more people have joined in and we are finding it hard to identify them. Prabhu has promised that he has not called all of Bangalore, but will reveal all when he is sober and recovered tomorrow morning!
This is me, Anita, hijacking his blog for now, saying cheers, over and out!!
Update at 12.43 AM:
Me again! The Vodkathon was a grand success folks. There were 13 people and it was a grand success. Sorry we couldnt update very frequently. We were too busy enjoying here, we actually forgot about blog you see You can expect some updates in the next few days. Those of you who joined us online, thanks a ton! Hic!
Good Night!
