He: Ha ha ha.. Darga illa Durga
She: what? i did not understand.

He: leave that. So,.. how are you Ginger?
She: I am fine ToughGuy


What is this all about. If that is what you are confused about. Stay confused. This post is for a selective set of audience.

For one last time, Sourav Ganguly was seen in the cricket field today. Bye Bye Dada. Here are my Ganguly favorites.

Favorite ODI innings.
183* vs SriLanka in 1999 World Cup at Taunton. That innings was a real massacre. After the match Srilankan bowlers would have thought that wearing diapers next time they bowl to Ganguly wouldn't be a bad idea after all.

Favorite Test Innings.
144* vs Australia in 2003 at Brisbane. If not for that innings, India would have lost the match.

Favorite Shot
Ganguly coming down the track and hitting a spinner for a six is the best sight during a cricket telecast only next to cheerleaders dancing and Sachin's straight drive.

Kodak moment

Ganguly is the best
when it comes to slogging in the final overs of an ODI, its no Sachin, no Lara, no Ponting, its Sourav all the way.

Somehow, i find this dialogue very cool and catchy. I don't know why, but i wanted to use this in one of my conversation and i did it today. After seeing the reaction from the other person, i no more find this dialogue catchy or cool or funny.

P.S> this post was in my drafts for a long time. I don't know why i posted it now.

I saw this post in one of the blogs. Try solving

Here is a small C/C++ code snippet,

int n = 20;

for(i = 0; i < n; i--)

printf(”Hello World!”) ;

First try to find the answer to this program. It will obviously be an infinite loop or memory over flow or … The question is to make this snippet work and print the “Hello World!” 20 times correctly as if the statement i-- would have been i++.

The restriction however is to change only one ASCII character in this code. This means you can change, replace, move, introduce only one character to this program and the program still remains a valid C/C++ code. There are three possible ways I know to do this. May be there are more. If you find two then you are good, if three you are brilliant and if more than extraordinary

No more foreplay, the real action begins tommorrow. India Vs Aus test series, the series that is gonna decide the fate of the fab-4.

My prediction is India wins the series 2-1.

Saroja
The movie was good. The problem is that the director has tried to make each scene look funny which has resulted in some serious mokkais. Premji takes the honors for most of the funny scenes and also most of the mokkais.



Raging Bull.
Awesome movie. Yet another Martin Scorsese-Robert De Niro-Joe Pesci movie. The movie is about the life of a self-destructive boxer(Robert De Niro). The movie has no story as such, it focuses on the personal life of him rather than his boxing life.

"The saree looks good on you" said Anand. "Is it?. you know what, I hate wearing sarees. This is the 3rd time i am wearing a saree in my lifetime. I always wear t-shirt jeans". By now, Anand got used to the pattern. Another balloon goes off. Anand is one such old fashioned guy. He is allergic to girls wearing modern dresses.

Anand know that his 5th condition too is shattered, but he just wanted to confirm and so he asked "Roopa, you always talk a lot like this, don't you?". "yeah, i talk a lot, infact i talk more than this. My mom asked me to talk very less today, that's why i am not my usual self today", Roopa replied. Now, with official confirmation, goes off the 5th balloon with "NOT-a-CHATTERBOX" written on it. They chatted for some more time. Just before leaving, Anand said "I will say my result after 3 days. I need some time. Will you wait?". Roopa replied, " Not a problem. I will wait for your call. Evvalavo pannitom idha panna maatomaa?". Anand thought to himself, "not again. sorry baby, the movie balloon is already pierced".

With all hopes shattered, Anand's family was returning home in the car. Anand's mother was immediately into damage-control mode, "Sorry Anand, we will be careful next time. We will enquire everything before ", said his mother. "I decided to marry this girl mommy and i came to this decision at this very moment", said Anand to everyone's surprise. "What???", both father and mother exclaimed. "You even rejected girls who met 4 out of your 5 conditions right. What happened now?". Anand didn't answer.

"Anand, would you care to give us an explanation", his mother said. Anand responded, "yes Mom. Do you know this story. Once there was a rich guy who was in love with 3 girls. He gave Rs. 25000 to all the 3. he decided to pick the right girl to marry, based on what they do with the 25000,. First girl gave all the 25000 to an orphanage. This guy was touched. The second girl bought all the things that the guy likes and gave it to him. He was more impressed. The third girl bought shares for 25000, made it 50000 and gave 25000 to him and kept 25000 herself. He was much more impressed." .. "So, did he marry the 3rd girl", Anand's mother interrupted. "No, he married the most beautiful girl among the 3. See, that's how most of the men think. Roopa is the most beautiful women i have seen till date. So, i decided to marry her" said Anand.

"So what about your 5 conditions then", asked his father. "Damn them", replied Anand and pressed the cars accelerator and increased the mp3 player volume to max to cut further conversation.

story over.

Makkale!!! bear with my attempt at story-writing.

Anand owns a job consultancy. He is tall, handsome, single and 29 years old. Anand, his mother and father were sitting in the waiting room to kill a few minutes so that they can start in the good time as their astrologer said. Anand's mother broke the silence, "Anand, this is the 17th girl that we are seeing for you. We can't go on like this for ever", she said. "What shall we do for that", came the answer immediately from Anand. "Can't you reduce your number of conditions", said his father. "Is this Diwali discount or what?? ok, do whatever you want", said Anand with a sigh of relief. He came to this conclusion in the 13th attempt itself, but he couldn't let his ego go in front of his parents. Now that he got a chance, he accepted immediately. The family decided to bring down the number of conditions from 5 to 4. The whole family started on their operation Gajini.

They reached the girls home. "She is my daughter Roopa, she works in Indian Express", said the girls father. Anand's usual imaginary movie started running in his mind. He sees 5 balloons hanging above him. Every balloon has one of his 5 marriage condition written on it. The girls father pierces the balloon that has 'HOUSEWIFE' written on it. There goes his first balloon. Now he comes out of the imagination and understood why his father was so particular about reducing the number of conditions.

After the customary conversations, Anand and Roopa were left alone in the balcony for them to talk and know a little about each other. Anand started with "So Roopa, what do you do in your free time". When Roopa was about to answer, her cousin passed by that way. She introduced him to Anand, "He is Santhosh, my cousin, he is a software engineer like Dhanush in 'Yaaradi nee mohini'. His siters name is Maya. She is my best friend. Me and Maya are like Rajinikanth and Mamooty in Thalabathy", she said. Santhosh leaves after a while. "What did you ask before Santhosh came", Roopa asked. "Never mind, i got the answer. You watch a lot of movies when you are free, right", Anand asked. "Yeah, i love movies. I even applied for my transfer to Page 3 section and it is still pending you know", said a worried Roopa. Anand hate movies and its one of his 5 conditions that his wife shouldn't be a movie-addict. Anand's second balloon was gone.

"I am very religious and god fearing person. what about you, are you an atheist or theist" asked Anand. "Neither, I am an opportunist. I pray when i have exams", replied Roopa smilingly. There goes Anand's most important balloon with "VERY RELIGIOUS WIFE" written over it. It was pierced, penetrated and punctured.

I had totally no work when i left for vacation last week. Nothing has changed after i came back from vacation. I am still jobless. So, here goes a page filler...

I am fed up of this question "Enna kannu ipdi elachu poita??" . My athais, paatis, maamas, please note this, for the past 2 years my weight is on a increasing pattern, a steep increasing pattern i must say.

I think Coimbatore is the only place where you find two strangers addressing each other as "anna" irrespective of who is elder and who is younger and no one feels odd about that.

I no more find it odd to wander for 2 hours in singanallur(my home town)after smoking, just because i should not smell cigarette when i return home.

Kudos to my uncle who never gets bored of asking me whether i visited the Salar Jung museum in Hyderabad even after i said umpteen times that i am not interested in museums.

I was very hesitant to listen to Sakkarakatti songs again after first hearing. But, now 'Taxi Taxi' song rocks. You must have seen the applause for this song in theater when Sakkarakatti trailer was shown.
