The Anthill..

Once upon a time there was an ant-hill. In this ant-hill, there were hundreds of ants, each as insignificant to the larger happenigs of the world as the other. It was in this ant-hill that the ants learnt the lesson that unless they all joined forces into making their ant-hill strong, they would all not survive. Some leant this lesson faster than the others, but ultimately they all learnt it.

It was in this ant-hill that the ants got to know the others much better. Some ants started to like some ants a lot, while they detested some others. Yet the entire ant-hill had some sort of a harmony in it. Each ant had a role to play in the ant-hill, yet none of each ant's contribution was significant to the larger scheme of things!

Then one day, one ant ventured out of the ant-hill and found that it could do more useful things outside the ant-hill. It walked away from the ant-hill and laid a path. As is common with ants, they like to follow one another. And so, a stream of ants followed this ant. Some ants, though they liked the ants that left, did not follow them as they wanted to do different things in life. They ended up losing their "precious" ant friends for life!!!

Ultimately it so happened that all the ants moved out of the ant-hill and went out in different directions while a totally different set of ants took over the ant-hill. The initial set of ants dont keep in touch anymore.

You call it an ant-hill. I call it an Engineering College!

And for the last time...

READ MY LIPS!!!

There are four South Indian states and we are all NOT Madrasis! For that matter, even Madrasis are not Madrasis anymore. They/We are called Chennai-ites.

The name of the state is Tamil Nadu and NOT Tamilnad. Were you taught the letter "u" when you were in LKG? We dont go about calling ur state as Delh or our country as Indi, leaving out the last letter, do we?

The name of the language is Kannada and not Kannud. The word is made up of 3 syllables and NOT 2. And no, Kannada is not the same as Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam. And No, the scripts dont look alike!!!

Just because the crow is the most abundant in our country, not all birds are crows. And NOT all people speak hindi.

"Kyun Ki" and "Mathlab Ki" or any other Godrej Key should not find itself in a proper English sentence. How would you like it if I added "vaa da" or a "po daa" in every line of English I spoke!?

We wash our hands before eating as it is considered hygenic. We wash our hands even if we eat with a spoon. And NO, you cannot eat a dosa with a spoon.

For Christ's sake, if someone asks "What is your name", please reply saying "I am Rahul" and not "Myself Rahul"!!

Coconut oil is good for the hair and Brylcreem is NOT. If u want good hair, use Coconut oil!!! Go Mallus!!

Paneer Butter Masala is not the only food in the world!!

Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam are NOT difficult to learn. "Yeshtu" is as easy to pronounce as "Kithnaa". Make an attempt to learn the language. You are in Karnataka for Pete's sake!!

South Indian names are not tongue twisters. Even Vangipurapu Venkata Sai Laxman isnt a tongue twister!!!

"Manmadaha Raasa" and "Appadi Podu" are 'masala' songs and we love them. "Babuji" isnt the only masala song in the world!

Talking about dances, there are dance steps where you dont have to lift both ur arms and show "six signals" like an umpire does! Phuleez, learn some new steps people!

Diagonally stripped shirts are NOT cool!!!

DONT wear sun-shades inside the building. There is a Tamil saying about an "alpan" (loser) and an "umbrella". You remind me of that!!!

Follow this, and Bangalore will be a nice place to live in. Atleast for the south indians!!

;)

The BOSS is back!!!! :)



The boss is in Bangalore on Feb 5th.. Wohoooooooooooooo!!!!

My favourite song of his!!!


To really love a woman,
To understand her,
You've got to know her deep inside ...
Hear every thought,
See every dream,
And give her wings when she wants to fly.
Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms ...
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's the one.
She needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever.
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman,
Let her hold you,
Till you know how she needs to be touched.
You've got to breathe her, really taste her,
Till you can feel her in your blood.
And when you see your unborn children in her eyes ...
You know you really love a woman.

When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's the one.
She needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever.
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?

You've got to give her some faith,
Hold her tight, a little tenderness.
You've got to treat her right.
She will be there for you taking good care of you ...
You really gotta love your woman.

And when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms,
You know you really love a woman.

When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's the one.
She needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever.
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?

So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?

Kadalai...

The etymology of the word Kadalai:

The basic concept of the origin of the word Kadalai comes from the sea. In the south Indian language of Tamil, the sea wave is called Kadal Alai. A phonetic concatenation of these words would give us Kadalai. That is, Kadal + Alai = Kadalai.

Now, at the same time, it was found that most of the people of TamilNadu went to the beach to flirt. That was their basic hangout. On research it was also found that these couples who flirt, generally buy groundnuts from the boys selling the same on the beach. Hence, the forefathers of the land of Tamilnadu decided to dedicate both a noun and a verb towards the sea waves (kadalai)

Kadalai (n) : Groundnut
Kadalai (v) : The process of flirting.

;)
Whoosh.

Berikaa..

The United States of America has declared India to be a Terrorist State, on par with Iraq, Afghanistan and Korea. "They are harboring terrorists", said George Wacko Bush in a television interview at the White House, today. The US Department of Intelligence identified extreme Weapons of Mass Destruction within India. US officials were tipped off when a telephonic conversation in Chennai was tapped. "Naan innikki naalu vedikka porein" - the caller had said. Shakt E Maan, a specialist in Asian Languages at the MIT, translated this to "I will be bombing four places today".

Spy satellites that have been photographing various parts of India have identified active terror cells in the small South Indian town of Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu State. Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) have also been found in the same area and have been transferred to Area 51, Nevada for further analysis. The following photo of a WMD has been given to the Press...

"The range of these weapons are unknown. Intelligence reports claim that India-backed terrorists test fired these weapons successfully in the first week of November in various Indian cities", an official who did not want to be named, quoted.

Child Terrorists

The United States of America has also found that many Indian Children are being trapped into the net of violence. Children, at a very early stage are being taught to handle various kinds of pistols. "This is a very very unfortunate scenario", the US Congress observed. Ammunition for these pistols are also cheap and easily available in India.

Senator Scooby Doo added that all steps were being taken to apply pressure on the Indian Government to dis-arm its weapons. "We will take on India in war if it comes to that. This is the war against terror!!", President George Wacko Bush said.

China has also expressed its shock over the current revelations. Chinese External Affairs minister to the United States, Mr. Gan Koo Lee, called for world wide condemnation of the atrocities being carried out in India.

Motion Films to Spread the Word

The terror cells have produced motion films to spread their ideas into the minds of the Indian people. A recent motion film that was titled under the same name as the place where the WMD was found, contained scenes where a single person is shown fighting an unimaginable number of people, contaminating the minds of the Indians. Psycologists say that such films would successfully make the terror cells more active in various Indian states.

When quizzed about the protection being offered to the Indians in America and America in general, Vice President Billilaadha Gates said "We have made arrangements for the Indians in America to feel safe. Any untoward incident that happens to any Indian in American soil would only be in the interest of homeland security". We have moved the terror threat level to "Red". We are also looing at the idea of adding more colors to the threat level indicator. We are debating whether fluoroscent green would be a good option or not. Until that is confirmed, we will be oscillating the colors on a daily basis. This is done more so because CNN needs something to display on its network.

We would also like to advice the American population to not get confused between the colors of the traffic lights and the threat warning colors. Please note that the threat warning colors can change more often than what the traffic lights can. That would be a good indicator to differentiate between the two.

Latest Intelligence Findings

In information just coming in, it is rumored that 12 Indian terrorists have just entered the Pakistani territory by air! The leader of the group, Rahul Dravid, had said in a television interview just before leaving for Pakistan "Our attack is good. Our batting is explosive and our bowling is ruthless. We are sure Pakistan can be defeated". The United States are keeping a close watch on the movement of these terrorists.

Stay tuned to One Crush for further developments!!

The Memo:

Idhu en friend CK kku nadantha oru kadhai. Ivan Chennai-la irukkura oru software company la 2 years aa vela paakuraan. Konja naal munaadi he got "released" from a project and he received a memo stating that he would be put under another project headed by a one Mr.D.

CK, indha D a pathi munaadiye kelvi pattirukan. This D is supposed to be a very "ferocious", "cunning", "strict", "unfriendly" sort of a person and CK kku indha aalukku adila velai panradhu suthamaa pidikala.. So, he replied to the email that he received stating to the effect that "Enakku indha aalukku adila velai panna ishtam illai. Avan oru *****, avan oru $#$#$, avan oru ^^$%#%#" and all the other bad adjectives that come to your mind. Further he added "Ivanukku adila velai panradhukku badhilaa, naan indha company a vittutei poiduvein". After typing this, he pressed Send.

What he didnt realize was that instead of pressing "Reply", he had pressed "Reply All" and this Mr.D was in the CC list of the original mail. So, this D also got CK's reply. Appram enna? Govinda Govinda dhaan!!! :)
