THE MOST WASTED DAY OF ALL IS THAT
IN WHICH WE HAVE NOT LAUGHED !!!

One of my friends is in the marriage market. She has been registered in a number of bureaus. Her father had started registering her on a few matrimonial sites, though I’m not sure that has been completed. Relatives and friends far and near have been informed that her parents are on the lookout for a match for her. And “if you know someone who you think will fit her”, they are supposed to inform them.

Now, thing is that my friend drinks (alcohol, i mean). While most of you might assume that there’s nothing abnormal in that, fact is that Brahmins (she’s a Maharashtrian Deshastha Brahmin types or some version thereof) are not supposed to drink. It is considered to be a major sin. And for Brahmin women to drink is even worse, in the eyes of the “people”. Even if you drink, you are not supposed to talk about it, and are supposed to take the stance that you don’t drink and drinking is evil.

I’m not trying to say that no Brahmins (apart from my friend) drink. I’m sure the proportion of people here who drink is fairly large, maybe just a little less than other communities which don’t socially ban drinking. There are enough people here who drink. Just that they try not to tell their families about it. Parents usually find out, but don’t tell other relatives about it. “Out of shame”.

Coming back to my friend, her issue is that since she drinks, she wants a husband who also drinks, and who will let her to continue drinking. As I’d mentioned earlier, there is no question that the market is quite big. There are enough and more people (in our community) who drink and who will want their wives to drink. Communicating this, however, is an issue.

It needs to be put across to the counterparty clandestinely. You can’t write “want a partner who drinks” in your profile at marriage bureaus. The bureaus might put moral issues and strike your name off their records (a large number of these bureaus are run by mutts). The bigger problem in advertising that you drink is that relatives will come to know, and the social status of you and your family will go down. So you can’t even put “drinking: yes” in shaadi.com.

However, when it comes to sealing a deal, you are supposed to make sure that you and your possible counterparty agree on this matter. How do you bring it up? Especially if the counterparty looks like the “sadhu” types? How do you communicate it only to the “right people” that you drink? It seems more complicated than I initially thought.

Recently my friend gave a negative recommendation for a guy because he “didn’t like to eat out”. People deemed this to be a frivolous excuse. Especially for “such a nice and disciplined boy”. I think the real reason was that he doesn’t drink. And this was the best “proxy” that my friend could use.

Right now this is all a lot of fun for a third party observer like me, but it doesn’t feel so good when I realize that I’ll also be out in the market in a short while...

Most cricketers, who are not comfortable in conversing in English, go prepared for some standard questions that are asked to them when commentators chat with them during the awards ceremony. Inzamam was once asked a different question after Pakistan won the match, for which he was not prepared. He always used his standard response to the first question after winning.

But this time.....
After Winning the Match

Tony Greg : So Inzi, that's fantastic, your wife is pregnant
for the second time and u must be happy!

Inzamam : Thanks Tonyأ‚آ…! All credit goes to the boys.
Everyone work hard for it, especially Afridi.
It was tight situation when he went in.. Also Bob Woolmer
was keeping close watch on progress and giving instructions.
It's all team effort. Insha Allah, we all will work together as
a team, put in big effort and deliver good result all the time and
will be able to REPEAT the same result..

Tony fainted!!!!!!

I seem to be looking out for “double meanings” in everything. I’m reminded of that seen in the seminal movie New, where the director SJ Surya reputed to be a master of double meanings, and he has an assistant whose sole job is to point out the double meanings that some of the dialogues that he writes imply.

So earlier today while chatting with a friend from college I said:”Can you do one help?” I know it’s completely ungrammatical but this is the way I used to talk back in college when my English was fairly pathetic and my language was mostly influenced by law school slang. A couple of minutes later I realized that “help” can also be a noun. Such as say “domestic help”. And so there was the double meaning.

A couple of minutes back, I chatting with a friend. And in my hurry to type, and given that my fingers usually don’t talk to each other, I put the space in the wrong position. The comment reads “can bed one once the road is expanded”. And in a minute or two, I’d noticed the double meaning. And here I am telling you guys about it.

Then, a few days back I was talking to this friend when she felt sleepy. Again my left middle finger played tricks on me and I typed “sweet creams” instead of “sweet dreams”. Only after she’d responded with at “thooo….” did I realize that there was some double meaning here too.

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
'Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through.
So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen!'
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate,
Awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
Took it to the cleaners
And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
Went grocery shopping,
Then drove home to put away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced the check book.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then, it was already 01P.M.
And he hurried to make the beds,
Do the laundry, vacuum,
Dust,
And sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework.
Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper,
He cleaned the kitchen,
Ran the dishwasher,
Folded laundry,
Bathed the kids,
And put them to bed.
At 09 P.M .
He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -
'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.
Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.
Amen!'
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.
You'll just have to wait nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night.'

I  wish  to  inform u all  that  the event Photos  are  uploaded into the  Albums of  Our  Website " www.ilaignarbajansamaj.com". 
 

A 26-year old decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he told me he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but instantly the water in the cup 'blew up' into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face, which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as: a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is however a much safer choice to boil the water in a teakettle.
General Electric's (GE) response:
Thanks for contacting us. I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds before moving it or adding anything into it.
If you pass this on ..... you could very well save someone from a lot of pain and suffering.

Being a corporate lawyer, Indian Contitutional Law isn’t really my forte. The other day I was thinking of the concept of the Uniform Civil Code and how the lack of one such is causing “religious arbitrage” (the most famous example being Dharmendra converting to Islam so as to marry Hema Malini). I was thinking of the BJP which is trying to establish one such code, but all parties that have a significant number of Muslim voters being opposed to it since monogamy is against the tenets of Islam. So I was thinking about this issue from a completely libertarian perspective, and this is what I have.I think I best do it in bullet points.

•Any pair of consenting adults can have sex with each other and the state has no business bothering with it. The only excuse for the state to get involved in this is if one of the “pair” accuses the adults of rape.

•Children in the backseat can cause accidents and accidents in the backseat cause children. Despite condoms and i-pills, there is a good chance that a random pair of consenting adults might produce kids.

•Any man or woman can have as many sexual partners (long or short term) as he wishes. The state has no business interfering in this.

•A pair of sexual partners might choose to live together, and make babies together. Society might impose conditions on them that they be “married” but the state need not know. The state is not supposed to bother about the fact that this pair is living together, apart from recognizing the same postal address for both of them.

•A citizen might choose to live along with several of his/her sexual partners, assuming all of them consent to the arrangement. Again, the state has no business interfering.

•So when should the state be concerned about this institution called marriage? I argue that the only reason the state should be bothered about “marriage” is because of property inheritance principles/laws.

•From the point of view of property inheritance, multiple “married partners” can be messy stuff. It can lead to extremely complicated cases, especially when the graph involves cycles. Hence, I suggest that without loss of generality, for the sake of easy legal redressal, any person cannot have more than one legally wedded spouse.

•This, mind you, doesn’t stop people from having illegally wedded spouses. For example, it is well known that M Karunanidhi has 3 wives, but I’m sure that he’s legally wedded to only one of them. When he dies, his property will naturally go to only his legally wedded wife and his children with them. The rest will get nothing. Nada.

•However, clever financial structuring can be used to overcome this discrepancy. For example, a man might offer to pay a woman extra pocket money so that she become his illegally wedded wife rather than his legally wedded wife. I think concepts of CDS (credit default swaps) pricing can be used here in order to figure how much more the illegally wedded spouse and resultant children should get as “illegality premium”.

•Given this framework, people of no religion need to fear the loss of practice. If Muslim society allows a Muslim to have four wives, he can as well go ahead and marry four women, except that in the eyes of the state, only one of them will be legally wedded to him. The rest will need to negotiate appropriate premia on pocket money.

•This “maximum of one legally wedded spouse person” can be used to legalize gay/lesbian marriages also. All that it takes is for the law to not specificallly mention that the spouses should belong to different genders.

•Not having a uniform civil code can give room for religious arbitrage which needs to be discouraged.

•Hence, having a uniform civil code makes eminent sense. It wont have much impact on most people’s lives. And it will simplify a lot of laws and just make implementation better.

I understand that my views might offend some or be hard to digest for the older generation. Nevertheless, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

This year Ilaignar Bajan Samaj have launched their own WEB SITE  : www.ilaignarbajansamaj.com.  The Interesting feature is  the  WEB SITE WAS LAUNCHED  BY  HIS HOLINESS PUJYASRI  DAYANANDA SARASWATHI SWAMIGAL. 

Once Pope made a visit to U.S.A., he was given a VVIP treatment and they gave a costly Limo car with driver for his journey there.

For a quite long time Pope wanted to drive limo car himself. He thought this was a good time to do it. So, he asked the diver to be seated by the side and Pope drove the car.

Pope was very happy to drive the limo car. He drove the car at a very high speed.
On the way, the traffic inspector (police) saw the speedy car and he chased the car and saw that the Pope was driving it. He was shocked and then he informed his police chief, “Sir, I had to book (suspend) a car for over speed, but he was a "VVIP".

The chief asked him, ”who was that vvip? Was he the President?” with laughed at him.

The inspector said,” No, sir. He must be a vvip. He should be greater than the President. Because, he had engaged the great respected Pope as driver.

Saarang is the annual cultural festival of IIT-M. Spanning over 5 days, 40 events, 50,000 people, Saarang is the biggest student organized festival of India. ( That means No profs or experts!). The tradition of Saarang has always been Classical Nite, Music Night, Rock Show, Choreo Night. This year Nokia, Lakme, 5 Star, Coca Cola were some of the sponsors. Adding to that we had loads of companies sponsoring us. Classical Nite saw Dr. Balamurali Krishna singing for us at O.A.T ( Open Air Theater). The Music Night had Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy singing with some surprise guests like Singer Karthick, Uni Menon. Hammer Fall and Hurricane Bells were there for the Rock Show. Skid Row were scheduled to come but they backed out due to medical reasons. Hurricane Bells replaced them with some beautiful classical rock. :) Choreo Night is the dance competition where every college gets to put up a ten minutes show. This basically includes some themed as well as non-themed performances for medleys.

Apart from this there was the world music festival organised by Saarang, where bands from all over the world performed. Some of them were:
1) Hammer Fall - Sweden
2) Hurricane Bells - U.S.A
3) Ziskakan - France ( Mini Pro Show)
4) T-Raumschmiere - Germany ( Mini Pro Show )

There were also few lectures from renowned celebrities like Arun Shourie, Kamal Hassan, Gautam Menon, Kavita Seth, Sabu Cyril and few others.

Since Swetha asked me about kamal's lecture, here it goes :
Lecture at 9:00 am
6:30 am - Alarm Rings
6:30:35 am: I wake up drowsily after a two hours nap.

6:31 am- I sleep again.
6:35 am - I finally manage to open my eyes fully.

6:45 am - I rush to the bathroom ( to brush! I dont bathe at such early hours :D)

7:15 am - Off to my mess for breakfast

7:30 am - I am at the auditorium were the lecture takes place. ( A small auditorium where about hundred can fit in, other guys must sit in the other auditorium for the video of the same lecture)

7:30:12 am - I am Shocked!!!!
7:30:12:15 am - I realise 80% of the auditorium is filled!!!

7:31 am - I manage to find a seat.

wait till 9:00 am.

9:01 am - Thala enters. Standing Ovation!!

9:02 am - Thala starts speaking. ( Thala here is Ulaga Naayagan and not Ultimate Star :D)

The lecture is a random topic about his movies, and how he loves IIT. The sad part is he was concenterating so much on his accent that he misses out on what he talks. Some people asked him few random questions which he answered.

9:20 am - He leaves.

To sum it up, Saarang was a total Kick ass!!!! It was one one the memorable moments of my life!!!!

Cheers!!

I don’t know if I’ve ever told you about Manshri’s before. Manshri’s is about two or three kilometres down the road from my college. It’s a at a cross between Law College & Karve Road - it’s a sweet and chaat shop on the ground floor, and a (vegetarian) fast food place on the first. For the benefit of my non-Pune readers, Manshri is a sweet shop (Indian sweets, that is- for the benefit of my international readers), and is a local fast food joint renowned more for its ice cream than for anything else.

That dispenses with the introduction. Moving along.

Manshri’s first floor is manned mostly by Nepalians, but during lunchtime, a lady handles the cash register. When paying for lunch at Manshri’s I call this lady aunty, meaning, of course, nothing more than to show respect for someone so obviously more aged than me.

But today she called me uncleji.

I’m a bit flabbergasted. My father was called uncle by a twenty year old when he was twenty-six, and this sparked off a chain of circumstances that eventually led to him getting married- the most important outcome of which, of course, was that I was born, and you are now reading this. I’m twenty three, and I’ve been called uncleji by a woman in her forties. I cannot even imagine the eventual outcome of this.

Then again, this incident could be completely meaningless.
