Cousin: Look dear, we have so much of dreams for you, and you are....

Funny incident at house

2010-10-18T19:22:00.000-07:00

Hilarious incident @ my house:
Older nephew(3 years old in another 2 weeks & talks broken tamil) and younger nephew (became 1 yr old a month back & can utter few words) are fond of bike rides. When both are on the bike it becomes responsibility of the elder to hold the younger one safely.

The other day when I was ready to go for a bike round; the elder one immediately dressed up and then was mentioning this to the younger one, "Chittappa(i.e. uncle) is taking me to doctor who will put injection...so..."

The Legendary Lungi - (Received this Fwd 4m a Mallu Friend)

2010-08-24T12:55:00.000-07:00

Just as the national bird of Kerala is Mosquito, her national dress is 'Lungi'. Pronounced as 'Lu' as in loo and 'ngi ' as in 'mongey', a lungi can be identified by its floral or window-curtain pattern. 'Mundu' is the white variation of lungi and is worn on special occasions like hartal or bandh days, weddings and Onam.

Lungi is simple and 'down to earth' like the mallu wearing it. Lungi is the beginning and the end of evolution in its category. Wearing

something on the top half of your body is optional when you are wearing a lungi.

Lungi is a strategic dress. It's like a one-size-fits-all bottoms for Keralites.

The technique of wearing a lungi/mundu is passed on from generation to generation through word of mouth like the British Constitution. If you think it is an easy task wearing it, just try it once! It requires techniques like breath control and yoga that is a notch higher than sudarshan kriya of AOL. A lungi/mundu when perfectly worn won't come off even in a quake of 8 on the richter scale. A lungi is not attached to the waist using duct tape, staple, rope or velcro. It's a bit of mallu magic whose formula is a closely guarded secret like the Coca Cola chemicals.

A lungi can be worn 'Full Mast' or 'Half Mast' like a national flag. A 'Full Mast' lungi is when you are showing respect to an elderly or the dead. Wearing it at full mast has lots of disadvantages. A major disadvantage is when a dog runs after you. When you are wearing a lungi/mundu at full mast, the advantage is mainly for the female onlookers who are spared the ordeal of swooning at the sight of hairy legs.

Wearing a lungi 'Half Mast' is when you wear it exposing yourself like those C grade movie starlets. A mallu can play cricket, football or simbly run when the lungi is worn at half mast. A mallu can even climb a coconut tree wearing lungi in half mast. "It's not good manners, especially for ladies from decent families, to look up at a mallu climbing a coconut tree"- Confucius (or is it Abdul Kalam?)

Most mallus do the traditional dance kudiyattam. Kudi means drinking alcohol and yattam, spelled as aattam, means random movement of the male body. Note that 'y' is silent. When you are drinking, you drink, there is no 'y'. Any alcohol related "festival" can be enjoyed to the maximum when you are topless with lungi and a towel tied around the head. "Half mast lungi makes it easy to dance and shake legs" says Candelaria Amaranto, a Salsa teacher from Spain after watching 'kudiyaattam' .

The 'Lungi Wearing Mallu Union' [LUWMU, pronounced LOVE MU], an NGO which works towards the 'upliftment' of the lungi, strongly disapprove of the GenNext tendency of wearing Bermudas under the lungi. Bermudas under the lungi is a conspiracy by the CIA. It's a disgrace to see a person wearing burmuda with corporate logos under his lungi. What they don't know is how much these corporates are limiting their freedom of movement and expression.

A mallu wears lungi round the year, all weather, all season. A mallu celebrates winter by wearing a colourful lungi with a floral pattern. Lungi provides good ventilation and brings down the heat between legs. A mallu is scared of global warming more than anyone else in the world.

A lungi/mundu can be worn any time of the day/night. It doubles as blanket at night. It also doubles up as a swing, swimwear, sleeping bag, parachute, facemask while entering/exiting toddy shops, shopping basket and water filter while fishing in ponds and rivers. It also has recreational uses like in 'Lungi/mundu pulling', a pastime in households having more than one male member. Lungi pulling competitions are held outside toddyshops all over Kerala during Onam and Vishu. When these lungis are decommissioned from service, they become table cloths.

Thus the humble lungi is a cradle to grave appendage.

Intelligent, Beautiful...minds

2009-12-14T02:52:00.000-08:00

My friend had three snaps in his photo's section at orkut.

First was of Albert Einstein, titled "Intelligent Mind".

Final one was of himself carrying a title "Never mind".

Don't read others letters

2009-12-04T03:48:00.000-08:00

At my friends house I picked an old marriage invitation letter which was lying as rubbish in hall and asked him, "what is this letter addressed to another friend doing here at hall?".

My friend immediately replied, "we do not have the habit of reading others letters. For that matter we do not even read the 'Letters to editor' section as well".

Where is Pluto?

2008-04-14T10:46:00.000-07:00

I was teaching this little friend of mine studying in 5th Std. We were looking at Planetary System chapter. In the list of planets we found that Pluto was missing.

Our little friend, asked me "Do you know why they do not have Pluto listed now?"

I vaguely tried to recollect the news where they said Pluto has been removed from the planets list because of its size...etc.

My little friend disagreed with me and said, "You saw Taarae Zameen Par? Ishaan for multiplying 3 into 9 breaks the 9th planet pluto with earth, right? Thats why!!!"

Do u smell smoke ???

2008-02-07T10:22:00.000-08:00

My colleague sitting next to me said "Do you also smell smoke?"

Me: "yes"

Colleague: Where is it possibly coming from?

Me: May be its the 'Fire in the belly' here", pointing at my stomach.

When he started lifting his finger to cover his nose, did I realize what I had just blurted out.
I had to then clarify that it was another PJ, and no problem with my stomach.

For Mara Tamils...Vadivelu dialogues in real life

2007-12-06T02:51:00.000-08:00

Vadivelu dialogues have more or less become part of life and is a rage these days in Tamilnadu...the instances I have come across make me ROFL. Here are few...

@my cousins wedding
My two lovely niece studying in 1st/2nd standard were standing before the reception area, and were bowing to people coming in and at their top of their voice would welcome with (this vadivel dialogue)...
"Vanthuttanngayya Vanthuttanga"...

@my friends regret
Friend aged 26 had eagerly started bride search in websites. To his dismay, his parents have told him that "Going by your horoscope, you must not marry now. As you are gonna be unsettled and shuffling place of residence for next 2 years and marriage would break if you marry over this time".

I tried to cajole him with some nice ideas and suggested, "Why dont u start searching now, get engaged to some nice girl and marry after this 2 years. Have you suggested this to your parents?"

His (vadivel dialogue) reply was "Aaniyae pudunga vendamnu sollittanga..."

@my cousin to her sister-in-law
Cousin: "Why haven't you gone and had lunch at that hotel?, food is very very good and its next to ur place of residence..."

Sister-in-law: "I was waiting for your brother to take me there till now."

Cousin(used the Vadivels dialogue): "Aaahhaaaaaa! Aaahhaaaaaa!!! Ambuttu nallavangalaaa neenga???"

@regarding my future marriage plans
Whenever someone asked me about my marriage plans, I used to reply, "Nowadays my affection to hindi is increasing day by day...so who knows...??"

Cousin asked "Have you told this to parents and got their approval???"

Eventhough my parents said they wouldnt mind since this (Vadivel dialogue) quote was appropriate I just replied, "Hmmmm...well their reply was 'Pechhu! Pechhaa thaan irukkanum!!!'. "

I am ...

2007-12-06T02:39:00.000-08:00

My colleague SK mentioned after a days work, "I am 'tired'."

My another colleague VJ immediately replied, "I am 'Vimal'."

Misbah-ul-Haq forgot 1 important fact

2007-09-27T09:47:00.000-07:00

As told by my mallu friend...

On the 1st 20-20 final, When Misbah-ul-Haq hit the ball thinking its deflected to no-man's land he forgot one important fact, can you guess that important point?

That there's a mallu in every corner of this world!

What do you call a person...???

2007-09-11T11:05:00.001-07:00

My neighbour cubicle'r was writing an essay for his MBA application to an university abroad.

He very seriously asked me "PK, what do u call a person who is thinking ahead of his time and identifying problems and escalating it? Actually, I have to describe myself here from my managers viewpoint"

PK: "Whistle-blower!!!"

Something Fishy

2007-09-09T09:04:00.000-07:00

VR called my next cubicle'r SK to come to his desk. When I asked "What for? Should I also join?"
VR replied back "No only SK, this is about something, Fishy!"
This prompt reply was rather unexpected by them then, "ok SK carry on, anyways I am a Vegetarian."

Great Heights 2 - Come down

2007-08-25T05:43:00.000-07:00

When I told this previous joke to my friend, he said; a similar funny reply was got by one of his relative in Military(he was 6ft and more as the previous person).

This relative had gone to a petty fast food outlet and ordered an omelette.
Teenage kid there had taken an egg for making it. Relative had stopped him saying the egg looks very small.

Kid had immediately replied, "Its big only, come down and see."

Great Heights

2007-08-25T04:56:00.000-07:00

My ex-boss(6ft 3 or more inches) had a fractured hand and he had curious look from everyone in our 100 odd people office.

He sent out a mail informing that he had fractured hand because of a fall. He also added that he had inquired the doctor why a simple fall had caused a fracture.

Doctor had replied to him "when you fall from great heights, you risk fracturing your arms."

Made in Australia???

2007-08-25T04:51:00.000-07:00

My friend had a project assignment for 6 months in Australia. He took his wife and kid along.

Once he got back he said he is expecting his second kid in 6 months.

2007-07-27T12:54:00.000-07:00

Went to my friend's (he is my room mate) wedding reception function last month. As my friend cooks most of time for both of us, I told his sister, "He was cooking nicely for me, now I am going to miss it".
His sister gave a laugh and said "Go tell this to the bride on stage and ask her, How can she do this to you?"

On the podium when I mentioned this statement to the couple, my friend quickly replied, "Dont raise any cooking related topic now, for a while(since their engagement) we have been debating over phone who is gonna cook after marriage..."

My friend is looking for a house and someone gave him a broker's(a sardar) mobile number. Friend called him up and conversation between the two were around the requirements and area and stuff...

2007-07-21T22:04:00.000-07:00

A very familiar question from Credit Card call center trying to sell Credit Cards.
Colleague: Yes, I do use Cards.
CC Girl: Which card do you use sir?
Colleague: Ration Card.

Call ended immediately.

Pity the sales girls in Call Center. Wish to know whether anyone really gets to sell thru this sales campaign. If only they had skills of persons who can sell ice to eskimos or sell Infrastructure bonds to Bangaloreans(2nd example was lifted from http://poomanam.blogspot.com/ very funny blog ...indeed).

Demos are always bewitched

2007-06-21T22:05:00.000-07:00

This happened to my cousin who works for a finance company with a large customer base in rural India. He works in marketing department. One of the Directors had come down to his office. After some usual office meetings had asked for a demo of how they market the products on the field.

He had taken the director to a nearby village and having him aside he approached the nearby elderly man in his sixties. He introduced himself as a person working for this company and had started marketing the companies product. All the while, the elderly man had kept nodding his head.

After some 5-6 minutes of this campaign, the elderly man has said, "My child, I see that you want to tell something to me, but my left ear does not hear properly, can you come over to my right and explain it."

My cousin still gets a good laugh from everyone over this demo embarrassment before his marketing director.

How does a newborn look like???

2007-06-18T00:34:00.000-07:00

Recently I was at my friends house to see her new-born(just a month old).

On the question of how does the baby look like? I replied, "I never had a clue on how people could tell resemblance of the baby with either of parents at such a young stage of their growth".

Uncle in their house replied, "neither can most people, just that they say it with all confidence that baby looks like mum/dad/grand-relations etc. Best answer on this question we have heard so far, is from one of our relations on her grand-kid."
On this question, she had replied "Top half (above hips) looks like mom, bottom half looks like Dad of the kid."

There is a problem facing me here!!!

2007-05-25T12:01:00.000-07:00

My friend was looking at the desktop and was deeply engrossed in debugging his code. He called my name and said "I have a problem facing me here..."

He lightened up on hearing my reply, "Why dont you turn around?"

Explaining 'Sardar'ji jokes ...

2007-05-16T10:48:00.000-07:00

This happened to my ex-colleague. He during a team luncheon had told a sardarji joke. Manager was an expatriate(a blonde in that) and so she had difficulty understanding sardarji genre jokes.
Now he wanted to explain her about this category of sardarji jokes and in a hurry uttered,
"Sardarji jokes are like 'blonde' jokes of the west."

Thankfully she had not got offended by mention of blondes in this context it seems(as he had survived to work an year under her after this).

Life's ups & downs

2007-05-14T11:30:00.000-07:00

I am scrapping with this friend who is in Chennai after some 3-4 years. On her question on "Hows life?"

Her reply scrap: Yup, with lots of ups & down here as well.
My reply: I didnt know that Chennai roads are as bad as Gurgaon roads?
(I am residing in Gurgaon for some years now. Now, after this scraps exchange, she is not replying back to any of my scraps)

Short of Vision as ...

2007-05-14T11:23:00.001-07:00

RS, had earlier described to me a business opportunity which IMHO did not exists.
PK: Business plan that u r suggesting, at any day is not implementable by a third party.
RS: You need to have vision to implement this.
PK: Yes, as I am short on vision, I am indeed short-sighted.
(Just FYI, I wear specs for short sight.)

Be careful abt spell check correction in outlook

2007-05-05T22:45:00.000-07:00

My colleague in UK had accepted all corrections suggested by Outlook mail and sent the mail to his manager(Anil).

Later did he realise the mistake of accepting all when he read the 1st line of the mail as
"Hi Anal, "

Tamil PJ (to be enjoyed by S/w Enggrs)

Ab Bahuth Hogaya!

2007-05-05T11:31:00.000-07:00

My colleague narrated this incident that happened to him with his son.

Once he and his wife had a heated discussion on a topic for some time. His son(may be around 6 yrs old then) who had been listening to the whole fight suddenly intervened. He had then said "Ab bahuth hogaya! Mein shahdi nahi karunga!" ("I had Enough of this stuff! I will not marry anyone!")

Innocent jokes by Kids

2007-04-28T22:13:00.000-07:00

This happened to my brother's neighbour. Neighbour a lady was trying to feed her 4 yr old kid some rice dish. Kid was refusing to have it.
Neighbour wanted to coerce her Kid and mentioned, "Dont you remember what the Doctor had asked you, 'Didnt he ask you to eat well?' ".
Kid had an innocent question, "Did the doc ask me to have the food even when it doesn't taste good?"

Buy an ATM...
My cousin's kid had accompanied him to ATMs quite often.
When the kid had asked for a ship toy, cousin had replied
"Dad does not have enough money this month, lets buy it after next
month's salary."
Kid had immediately replied, "Why dont you buy an ATM machine dad,
we can take money whenever we need it..."

It will go for a toss...

2007-04-21T09:05:00.000-07:00

2007-04-12T06:19:00.000-07:00

As we are doing bridegroom search for my sister, am having a tough time with horoscope matching experience. In a fit of frustration mentioned to my cousin that horoscope is like 'horror'scope with even the nicest prospects.

She replied,
"I used to believe in future forecast but now I don’t even believe in weather forecast!"

How much I Wish, I could just change my Dad's perception on horoscope matching.

How mobiles let everyone be fooled about location

2007-04-09T07:47:00.000-07:00

During a chat my friend was saying how a fellow passenger in his train was ballantly bluffing that he had reached Faridabad/Gaziabad when they were still some 10-15 minutes away from that place.

Surprisingly we were discussing the same topic(how mobiles let everyone be fooled about location) when I was returning back to Delhi in train. In one incident, the other person had bluffed that he was coming to a planned destination and he is already in his car. The person who was chatting immediately had asked him to "Blow horn and show!". Obviously couldn't escape this simple test.

So next time your friend is informing you that he is well on the way as planned try to get some simple proof like this.

Thank God! Breathing is involuntary
