Why is it that in shops like Saravana Stores, they continuously keep showing their own ads on TV screens kept everywhere in the shop? Haven’t we all come for shopping there only after seeing their ads(?) on TV? What’s the logic behind this? It only causes irritation to the shoppers to keep listening to the blaring sound of the ad!

Got this as a forward:

Khushi milti hai nayi nayi cheezein karne se,
Lekhin experience milta hai same cheez baar baar karne se!
Paisa milta hai experience se
Aur paisa chahiye khushi ke liye!
It’s a deadlock!

Good one, isn’t it? 🙂

After having suffered caught in the traffic jam on Old Mahabalipuram yesterday afternoon, I thought about what could have been done by all the IT companies and the colleges on the road to avoid the jam.
Considering the fact that there was a traffic jam till only before Tidel Park, the reason for the jam was obviously, all the companies’ buses starting at almost the same time. If all the companies that have large number of buses and the colleges had co-ordinated amongst themselves and each one had started their buses after an interval of say, some 15 minutes, after another companies’ buses started, I don’t think the traffic jam on the road would have happened and everyone wouldn’t have had to suffer because of it and the Chennai heat.
What do you people say?
Forgot to add the most important point here: The buses of the company closest to Tidel Park should have started first followed by the others with the buses of the one that is farthest starting last. Couldn’t all this have been arranged in a few phone calls itself?

• When you don’t get what you desired, learn to like what you have got. Is it easy?
• One moment you are enjoying something the most, the very next moment you start finding it boring. Human mind is strange, isn’t it? (Manam oru kurangu? 😛 )

You write in your blog about missing summer holidays and having to work on all days (I mean weekdays), at a time when you don’t really have much work to do in office. Now what happens! You get more work and you have to stay back late and work on a Friday evening! The more you complain, the more things become bad, isn’t it?

For the first time in my life, I am not having summer vacation! Am missing it so badly 🙁 Having had a holiday yesterday, I am missing it even more! The next holiday on a weekday is only on August 15th! 🙁

You are sitting in your cubicle and are not aware of what’s happening outside. When you step out for lunch, you see that the sky is covered with clouds. Enjoying the cool breeze blowing, you walk to the food court slowly, have your lunch and then, come outside only to realize that the weather has become even more pleasant! It slowly starts drizzling too and a few drops of rain fall on you! And you say Life is wonderful not only there, but here too! 🙂
Just when you are happily enjoying the wonderful life, you are forced to attend a session inside a closed air-conditioned room filled with the smell of cigarette smoke! 🙁 How you wish the smokers had visited the smoking zone after the session! 🙁 Now, you wonder whether life is cruel or wonderful!

One moment you feel as though your life just can’t get better and you are enjoying every bit of it. The very next moment something that you never ever expected would happen, happens and you feel as though your whole life has got shattered. You try to accept it as a fact of life and try your best to move on. But, is it that easy? Life indeed, is a mystery. You never know what happens when and why it happens. And the worst part is when you have to accept things and carry on with your life as usual….

No this post is not about any apartment. Anjali Apartments is the name of a show that comes in Hello FM everyday which features conversations between the Manager of Anjali Apartments, Madhavan, and others living in the apartment. If I am not mistaken, the dialogues in this show should supposedly make the listeners laugh! But, I seriously wonder who will laugh after hearing those dialogues! Sample this (not the exact words of course):

Some kid: Uncle, enga veetla yaarukkum enna pidikkala
Manager: Yaen appadi solra?
Some kid: Ennoda periya akkakku rendu thangai, ennoda innoru akkakku oru thangai aana enakku mattum thangaye illa!

Oh My God! You should realise how I must have felt after hearing it! That was the last time I listened to that program. It was a week back or so. Why can’t they come up with better content!

Who searched for ‘ar rahman is not welcome in tamilnadu’ in Google? I am asking this only because I am curious to know what made someone search for this. But, look the search results for this in Google. The top two results are Prabhu’s post for Chennai Metblogs and my posts on Rahman. So, I guess this would have made whoever searched for this, know that A.R.Rahman is indeed most welcome in Tamil Nadu. 🙂
