Mrs Menon in Train

December 24 , Covai Express , 12:30 PM

"Hello , Am i speaking to Pheno Menon" ?

"Yes , who is this ? "

"Sir , we have an opening for network engineer in Chennai, are you looking for a change"

My eyes wide opened - The little girl sitting next gave a nodded response to my smile.

"Oh .. yea , ofcourse .. please go ahead "

"This opening is for network engineer with a reputed MNC in Chennai .They are looking for network engineer with experience in routing , switching , and knowledge in MPLS , you would be sent out to US for a few months of training and .. "

"Wait , which company is it ? "

"Well , this is for XXX Corp sir "

"Hmm , i am not sure whether i would be really interested "

"Why sir , i can guarantee you that they are one of the top companies in India "

"Really ? Then , i dont think their employees would have registered in your portal for a job"

"Sir ... what you mean"

"It means that i am working for them "

"Ohh .. ohh.. Sorry sir ... in that case why dont you refer someone you know " ...

"Well, in that case , why should'nt i take the referral money from my company ? "

"Ohhhh , ha ha ha .. true true sir .. Ok , nice speaking to you "

"I know , its always nice speaking to me , though i am not sure whether its the same the other way around"

I disconnected my call and took a deep breath . Whats more worser that my own company recruiting from all around the globe , but i wont get the right chance ?

Well, Mr.Phenomenon , its always been like that for you , isnt it ? I tried to smile at myself . This time i avoided the girl next to me and instead , turned right .


She smiled back at me . I dropped my smile .

"Hi " She said in a soft voice .

"Hi" . I had to respond

"Are you from Chennai ? Going where ? "

The train has passed Erode and the next stop is Covai . I cant go to California in this train (Thats where all others in the new project would be going to ) . Fuck off old lady .

"Yes , from Chennai to Covai "

She gave me a broad smile . I tried to concentrate back on my book .

"Are you working or studying in Chennai ?"

"Yes , working , at XXX Corp ,as network engineer" .
Not as great as it sounds , all i do is suck some American dicks .

"Ohh .. thats great . Are you malayalee ? "

"Yes , i am from Palakkad " I gave the answer to avoid the next probable question .

"Where in Palakkad? " Her eyebrows shooted up showing her anxiety .

"Well , we were settled in the town , near Manapullikkavu , now we moved to Nemmara"..

"Ohh , is it .. thats so great . we are also from Palakkad " She pointed to the seat in front which was crowded with so many old women .

"Oh great ,. where are you in Chennai? " I had to ask something .

"Well , we are settled in Chennai for about 30 years now , now we are going to Alathur , you know Alathur right ? Thats where my 'tharavadu' is . From there we will go to Thrissur . My younger sister's , daughter's son is getting married " She said in one breath .

"Oh ., thats great"

"I knew you were a malayalee" She smiled as if being a malayalee was the best thing on earth .

"Malayalees can always recognise each other , there is some sixth sense between us"

No one needs a sixth sense to identify a fair , curly haried guy in a Covai express as a malayalee . But still i gave an expression as if to appreciate her sixth sense capabilities .

'Hasili Fisilie rasavadi , un siripilum ...'Girl next to me increased the volume of her China made mobile . Now no one could even hear the train's sound . I felt better so that i can avoid the conversation now .

She patted on my back . There is no stopping a old lady from continuing a conversation.

"Tamil people , no manners , right ?" She gave me a bad face .

I didnt know what to say . I am stuck in between two far ends of a very confusing species called as females . I smiled , which i have learned as the best way to deal with a woman .

"Well .. what is your parents doing ? " Next question

"My father is no more , he was an advocate . My mother retired as Joint director of education and my sister is a lawyer " . I pressed the buzzer and gave the perfect answer in one go .

"Ohh, thats great " She looked excited . I gave a puzzled look

"I mean , i am sorry about your father . These things happen to all good families " She looked down depressed .

Who the fuck told her that ours is a wonderful family ? It just sounds so great.. thats all ..


"And your sister ., she is married , right ? "

"Yea , my nephew is 5 years old " I knew where this was going .

"Thats so great , so where did you study "

"I studied in Chinamaya VIdyalaya "

"Chinmaya ? Which one ? In pallavur " ?

I nodded yes .

"Ohhh wow .... Do you know Bharathi teacher ? She was a principal there ? "

Volcanos erupted inside my head . Do i know her ? Well , she sill never forget my name . I remember the day when she was crying like a little kid in front of all the other teachers and the 5 of us inside the Principals room . "I will never forget you , or what you have done today " I still remember she telling us , with a trembling voice .

For all those who thought that those words have come out of joy , please correct yourself . It was completely the other way around . I will write a different post on that story later .

"Yea , i do " i said softly to my female pal in train .

"Ohhh wow .... " She jumped towards the seat infront of her to catch her relatives . She wanted to tell the whole world about her discovery called as ME . Surprisingly , she stopped on half the way and came back to me .

"Btw , what did you say your name is ? " She sounded really serious this time .

"Pheno" I said

"No no , your full name "

OK , so that was it . I knew this was coming . Malayalee - Palakkad - Unmarried - Well settled family - Good looking (Although most of the factors except the locations are not entirely true in reality)


I looked at her face. She looked like a little kid awaiting permission from her dad to go for playing. This was the last and the most important thing that she wanted to know .

"Menon - Pheno Menon"

"Wow " ... She burst in to joy . She jumped two seats in one go pulling me in her one hand , and we reached right in middle of the entire family .

"Meet PhenoMenon , Bharathi's student , computer engineer " Everyone looked at the new arrival .

I prayed no one would ask about my salary . I kinda enjoyed the attention that i recieved , let them think i am like the other engineer brothers who earned a lakh a month .

" You know we Menon's all understand each other so well "
Another woman who is more older than my pal , took my hand and said . May be Manoj Nite Shyamalan was inspired from this family while making 'The Sixth Sense' .



The events that followed , included me being introduced to each of the family members , and their history , and how we are all distant relatives , and how similar i looked like Santhosh (Ok , i suppose he is some guy in their family) . I finally managed to leave without a family phone number exchange . Thanks to the universal 'i wana go to the bathroom' excuse .

I never went back to my seat , i just stood there near the door . I could see them chatting and pointing at me . I hurried out as the train stopped in Covai .

I wondered whether i made a mistake by not giving the number . The last thing that i want will be a enquiry about me to Bharathi teacher.



Well , the moral of the story is that , if you have to choose between two estrogen filled tanks , go for the youngest one .

New year wishes and resolutions

Wish you all a very happy new year .

My new year party is going to be the same as it always has been , getting drunk with my friends and staying inside home - Terribly boring ? Yes , ofcourse , but i dont have another choice .

May be i could have gone for a party outside , but then , my room mates are not interested , will have to spend a lot of money , will have to drive at night and so many other things .

I am not interested in going out with a girl or something , i would rather be with my friends .

I have never really partied in my life , and the saga continues . Im kinda sad , but there is no other way than being happy with what i have .

I sincerely hope all you guys out there enjoy and party this new year to the max .

I am not keeping any resolutions like 'i wont smoke' or ' i wont drink' . I think i have got my last year resolution worked out which was more about my 'virginity' :P.

However , this time ,i am going for things which i really wana do , like

1. Double my salary .
2. Make another short film .
3. Get my stories published/reach a bigger scale .
4. Work and make c&b big .

At this point , on December 30 , i am feeling pretty very much down . My life is not currently exciting , and i am trying my best to keep the spirits high . Philosophies are all good , but when it comes to my life , it is really difficult to pass through difficult times . I am feeling like a loser in all senses , with my job , with love and all .

I hope next year would be better . God , if you are listening to this , please make my life better next year . Thanks in advance .

Again , wishing you all a very happy new year .


PS:I dont want anyone to come and tell me 'Oh ! What happened , let me console'.
After all , no one give a fuck about others , right ?

Missing Items .

Well,

As usual i have been sitting back and thinking too much (Not literally , i think when i walk , talk , shit etc . Truly multidimensional thinktard* ).

I figured out that there are certain items that had been missing recently .

1. Not writing stories .

Causes :
1.Do not have time
2.Too much bothered about business
3.Too much bothered about studies
4.Too much bothered about a girl
5.Too much bothered about future
6.Too much of thinking
7.Lesser concepts

Analysis of above points :
1.Rejected ! What the fuck are you doing for 24 hours ?
2.Accepted ! Tone down 10%
3.Accepted ! But do not tone down till you find a better job .
4.Accepted ! Cannot think of a resolution . Lets hope you turn gay .
5.Partially accepted ! This is also a future for you .
6.Contradictory ! Thinking is necessary . Just shape it to the right directions.
7.Rejected ! You are PhenoMenon

2. Less humor .

Causes :
1.All of the previous statements
2.Too much of a proffessional approach to life .

Analysis
1.All of the previous statements
2.Accepted ! This ca .....


Wait a minute .Thats it ! Look at the freaking manner in which i am writing . What the fuck is this ? A case evaluation report to my manager ? Oh my ... So thats it ..

I been listening to one of my alter ego's 'Menon' a bit too much these days . I should get back in to the 'pheno' ways soon ...

Hmmmm ...

Ummmmmm ....

Mmmmmhmumhmmm** ...









*Thinktard - Someone who keeps on thinking for a long time . 'tard' has been used to give it the 'bastard' effect .
**The last few crazy letter combinations are used to make you understand the sound effects that are created inside my areola when i have realisations .

10 million Fireflies !

I have decided to start another tag , just for songs . As far as i am concerned , the lines of a song are more important than the music or the voice .

Read this , listen to this , most importantly ,think about this . If you have time , come back and tell me what this is all about . Its interesting to see how different people have interpreted this .

"You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seems"

Blogging in a Indian train .

Been sometime since i have thought of writing when i am travelling . And finally , here i am., leaning over the window of Korba express , protecting my screen from being smashed by people walking across.

I am travelling from Palakkad to Chennai. Went home for a short vacation . The vacation however turned out to be pretty bad , as i fell sick as soon as i reached there.

I love travelling . And i hate travelling .

Seriously i am not sure which one to give preference .

I hate trains .However, A/C coaches are better . I must dedicate this post to the A/C ticket i managed to get . The normal sleeper class totally freaks me out.

Why on F'ing earth are people littering all over the place ? Its HIGH time that Indian railways do something about it .Give proper waste baskets everywhere in the train, and empty them at constant intervals . I know that people would still do crap , but it can be controlled to a good extend.

Eating inside the compartment . Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhh .. I dont know why i hate this , but i simply cant stand this . People bring all sorts of things from home and starts eating as if they are on a 5 star hotel restaurant . Pleeeease ... lets have a dining compartment . Increase ticket charges for this . Lets travel with a pleasent smell.

What should be done to get the toilets proper ? Why cant they clean it at every station ?

This is why i prefer flights . Less time , more cleanliness , and ofcourse air hostesses .

But unfortunately , i am no way closer to be rich to take a flight every time i want to travel.

Now coming out of the train sufferings , there are certain things which make train journey interesting.

You can get to see a lot of people .., rich , middle class and poor .The way they live , talk and behave .As usual , i try to get in to them and imagine myself responding to such situations . Then i wonder about how they would be living , what is that they want in life and stuff like that . I really love learning people.

As with most other things , i prefer to be alone when i travel . But these days , the thoughts of having a girl next to me is getting bigger .But she should not nag me all the time like the hot bhabhi sitting opposite to me . (No , she is not nagging me but her husband).

Music is another important ingrediant with travel . Music doubles my imagination , i can be totally lost in my thoughts . Wow !!!

There is a old man sitting next to me who is peeking in to my screen every now and then.There are only 2 reasons for this .He wants to know if i am watching porn , or he wants to go to sleep.

I shall respect the second option . Catch ya guys later .

The simplest definition of life !

You cry for no reason ...

You are angry for not getting that pink colored doll ...

You are shy because she is looking at you ...

You are afraid because you are making love for the first time ...

You are the happiest person in the world because you have a child ...

You give her the best kiss in the world - your daughter has passed with flying colors ....

You feel like being the best man in the world , her happiness is our happiness ..

You are the best grandfather in the world ... Doesn't he look like my wife ?

You feel tired , but her hands give me a lot of support ...

You know its gona be over soon....





The moment of life ...


I lived a fucking great life ... i loved every moment that i lived ...


I loved my life ... It was so great !!







The simplest definition of life - "I loved my life"

The Blank moment

Have you guys ever experienced the blank moment ?

Blank moment : A terminology invented/discovered by PhenoMenon at about 7:34 IST , Oct 12 , 2009 . Its a time when the time vanishes .

Its 7:00 PM on a monday evening . You check google calendar , the to-do list . There are several things to be done , like buying books , studying the rapid spanning tree protocol , look for a job abroad , look for short film festivals , look for screenwriting courses ... ohh! there are many things to be done

My friend wants to use my PC - That makes 70% of the to-do activities in-valid.

I gotta get ready and leave to office at about 8:30

90 minutes . What shall i do in the next 90 minutes ?

It has to be productive . So ,take out the options of watching porn or TV

Read a book ? Ok , lets do that from 8-8.30

Now there is 60 minutes left . Now what ?

Look at me in the mirror . I am a good looking man , oh yeah . Who is that model in 'Indian Terrain' ? Diya told me that i look like him .

Whats that asoles name ? Its not Ranbir Kapoor . , something else

Rannbir Kapoor has got a beard these days , and he says he is not yet committed to Deepika and all that bullshit .

You know what , now that reminds me of doing something . I gotta shave

These days i always shave in the saloon . May be i should but a new trimmer .


There is about 50 minutes left .





"Sorry sir , romba busy a erukkaen , 30 mins appram vaanga sir " .



Go translate that , the only clue i can give is that it is tamil .


45 minutes ???


Let me stand on this corner of the road . There is a big cut-out of actor 'Jai' to the left of me .. and the 'cigerrate shop' to the right .

Cigarratte shop has a husband and wife . They have a son who is studying in 9th standard , but poor boy is bad in mathematics .

Why am i wasting my time thinking about them ?

Now what ? 35 minutes ?

There is nothing in my mind now . There is nothing i go to do now . My life is on a complete stand still .There are vehicles going on , there is a very bad looking woman walking past me , there is something and all . But i cannot think about anything ...

The Blank Moment .

Let me look up . Sky . Stars .

I dont believe this . There still exist Sky , and stars . Oh god .. I really did forget about them . I have never seen them for , what , lets say , 10 years ?

When was the last time you looked at a star?

There is not just one , there are plenty . Plenty of them . Man! This is amazing ., i feel so good . I mean , i just realised that i am a man , a human being , a animal , or some stupid biological creature .

I wanted to be an astonomer when i was a kid . I was in love with stars . I always wanted to discover a meteor .

How did i miss you all these years ??





People are staring at me . They saw a man staring at sky in the middle of the road.



I suddenly realised that its almost 7:55 now . Where did the time go? Oh god , where did it go ?





The Blank moment .


Trust me , its a amazing experience .

What should i do with my Life?

Tell me what should i do ?


1. Be a network engineer , go to UAE , earn well , marry a wealthy beautiful girl , have 2 good kids , bring them up well , go for old people associations , and die with your family and friends near you .

YUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK ............... I would rather die now than after wasting 50 years like that .... Oh god ,not this , not this one please.



2.Go to US/Europe/Australia , study Film making , work part time as network engineer .Come back to India , make beautiful movies , write beautiful stories

Wow .. sounds a lot better .But in reality , very very low chances of this happening. Why ? I am not rich like you :)



3.Stay in Chennai , i already have good contacts with film industry . But i dont know a damn thing about film making . So join as a assistant director , and study things , go on to make a movie at 30

Easy ? I have 2 Lakhs of debt to be paid off ! And how would my family react ? Throwing away a good career in engineering for nothing ? Also comes the very good chance of being nothing and lost in life !


4.Go to UAE , make some money come back and get in to film making

Well , at what age ? 67 ?


5.Stay normal , be network engineer , find another better job here in Chennai . Stay connected to films , hope that you will get a break some time in the future

My mom already asked me about marriage , and how long should i wait for this so called 'break in life' ?I thank God for giving me a healthy and good life . But the fact of the matter is that , i have never got that ' break in life ' which i believe is that factor which makes up a life for a person .



What should i do ? Does any one else have any other ideas ?

Letters , Words ,Aimlessness ,Confusions and Love

What happens when someone starts writing something with no aim , no plans , no ideas ?





I love a girl , but I cannot be with her . Why ? I don’t know .

I like network engineering , I like talking to Americans .

I am in love with cinemas ., nothing gives me more pleasure than making films .

I am the most confused soul in the world

I go for jogging everyday

I get stomach pains whenever I get tensed

Past one week was the most disturbing time in my life in recent times .

I was a happy man till I fell for her , I was even more happier when I was with her , now that I decided to break up with her , I am shattered .

Don’t worry Menon , you will get over this .

I know where it all started , that was when I told her that I want to break up this relation .

My tears stop at the edge of my eyes , I cant cry . Its been ages since I have cried .

I am thinking of all the dirtiest things possible about her with the misconception that I would hate her eventually

I feel there is nothing better than her in this world

I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOVEEEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUU …. I feel like screaming …..

I am a fucked up Devdas

What is that I want in life ?

I don’t want to go to UAE . Please mom , pleaseee , don’t force me

I want to do Film making course in LFS. It costs around 32 L, INR . I realize that it is just a dream , it will never happen .

The most important thing in this world is money

I realize that she is going to get another man soon . With her charm , beauty and smartness , that will be very easy for her .

God , please let me cry … please

I cant blame her . She is not like me , she is a very practical person .Why should she stay committed to a assole like me ?

I need to understand something here . No One in this world can understand Menon . I don’t expect that to happen .

What does love mean ? Does it mean , understanding someone truly ? Why cant she understand me ?

"What you expect Menon ? How can I understand you ? How long I can wait for you ? You were never bothered about me . I didn’t want to screw my life being with you , so I decided to be with this person . He is nice , normal man , who loves me , unlike you ."

Do you guys think I am mad ?

What is that I want in life ?

I think i am mad.

I want to be a film maker , I want to make many beautiful films

I want to write beautiful stories

I want to be rich and powerful … Oooooh., nothing is better than that

If you have money 80% of your problems are solved

I miss you my dear , I will never forget you . I LOVE YOU , I really do , right from the bottom of my heart ..

I can live without you , I can live as long as I have my dreams

But still I love you

I want to go abroad and study the best in the film making industry

The song Bas Ek Pal , is repeating for atleast 12th time now .I am not bored. I am not doped .

Menon , I told you many times not to fall in love . You cant handle it . All your manliness , all your strength all your everything , just fades away . Still you took that chance . Its your mistake . You should have never tried that .Never !!

Letters , words – They are magical . When your fingertips touch the keyboard , it’s a beautiful feeling . Can I just keep writing till the end of my life ? If some one asks me , what is that aspect that you are 100% sure in the world . My answer would be instantaneous . I love writing . No no , writing is in love with me .Unconditionally . I can feel it , everytime , in MSWord , in that A4 sheet or even the bedsheet or wall where I scribble random things .

I want to write , I want to write till the end of my life .

Thank you Sindhu Teacher . Thank you for calling up my mom , and telling her that her son in 7th standard is a wonderful writer . If you have never said that , i would have never wrote any more , i would have never felt this happiness .



I don’t want to stop here , I want to write more , please ., why is that there should be an ending to every writing ? Pleassee …. Let me write ….

Love - Pain in the a$$

Yet again , i am worried , confused and drunk .

Let me come straight in to the point , i kinda like a girl these days . When i say like , i am not sure if i am in love or anything ,may be because i dont really believe in it .

The thing is that , she is pretty awesome . Hot,intelligent and smart ! Whats more ,she is younger than me , of my same caste/creed and has similar attitude towards life . So we were going out pretty happily for past 5-6 months .

Now , there is a problem . She has left India , and probably we wont be seeing for next 1-2 years . Oops !
I am pretty happy that she is happy down there (well,i am bit jealous as well , as i have never been outside India) .I would want her to enjoy her life and have fun .

BUT . I feel bit uncomfortable these days . I feel that she would go on to find some one better , some one who would give her a lot of surprises and gifts (which i never did) , and ultimately , she would have physical relationship with him !!

I am acting like a Fucked up , old fashioned Indian lover boy ! Damn it !!!

I am heart broken . , and i am like "Why does the bitch have to doooo thhaat??? "



Ok , wait a minute . She is a good woman ., and she is not that bitchy kind .Why am i overdoing things here ?

I never proposed her , though i always knew she would accept it . I did not do that coz, i never believed in long distance relations . As my friend 'lineproducer' told me yesterday ,-"Out of sight is like Out of Mind" .

And there is another reason why i did not propose . I wanted to have sex with many women before i marry.

So look at me now . I really like this girl , but i am afraid of getting on to commitment . And more over , i would want to give her that time and space rather than taking a hasty decision . So i am not committed , and i dont worry about her .

But its not like that .Coz i am thinking about her a lot these days . Fuck it ! Moreover , i am not really feeling like going out with another girl !! In short , everything is screwed !

Sighhhh.....




Ok , my decision is correct . Let her live her life , and if she finds a better guy , let her be with him .It would have been worser if that happened after we got committed . Btw , lets pray she never finds anyone better .

I am not going to try some other girl(atleast for now) . I dont feel like doing it ., im fucking getting old , and i have a lot more important things to do in life .

The simplest way that a man can be happy , is by having a unconditional relationship with a woman .You dont lose anything by loving some one .., despite what she gives in return .Go watch Forrest Gump today .

There are lot more things happening in my life these days . Will let you know .

I feel so very better after writing this . Nothing gives me more pleasure than writing .

I am going to reduce my 'profanity' (interesting word eh? ) Let me change some alphabets to '$' symbol !

Finally , after several nights and days ...

One Night Stand is over !

Thats right , my short film 'one night stand' is completed .It took around 4 months ! Ohhhh .. Thats just for a 12 min short film . I cant imagine what will happen when i make a feature film !

And i need to thank several people (and almighty)here . If i start to list them , i am sure i will miss some one . So if you are reading this and if you know that you have helped , please take my sincere thanks . I would not have reached here without you .

I am thinking about how to proceed . I am financially stuck ,so i would need to wait till next month to make proper DVD copies and stuff . , but before that i will have to send copies to all my well wishers .

If you ask me whether i am happy - I am . It was my big , long time dream . But then again , i am not satisfied with the film as such . I have made several mistakes and frankly , its not an impressive movie . I dont know why i am degrading my own movie , but whats the point in over hyping it just like all other film makers ? Black is black and white is white ,even if you defend it .

But having said that , i think this is an impressive effort from a person who have absolutely no experience in film making . I have really struggled in the making , of all sorts , and i am happy its visible .., some how .

Confusing post ? I am a confused man . So live with it !

Scared of laziness

I wrote half of this post before 2 weeks and was so lazy to complete it and post it .
Now start reading .


Everyday i sit back and say to myself ., DONT BE LAZY -THIS TIME WILL NOT COME BACK.


But still , i feel i am getting lazy . Well , i was always lazy ., i was never that hardworking geek .. But that cant be an excuse now , i am already too old (going to be 25 this september - thats another thing that scares the shit out of me) , and i am nowhere near my targets (Thats not true , i am somewhere in the picture) .

So i need to start several things
-Utilise most of the time in productive purposes (Reading, Blogging,Film making ,Studying)
-Reduce the time spent to watch/read porn (I have promised my galfrnd that ,post marriage this time can be utilised for more 'productive' purposes )
-Sleep the right amount of time (Sometimes i sleep less , sometimes too much)
-Exercise every day
-Join a Yoga class or more preferably a place where they teach Bhagavad Geetha
-Reduce smoking

Many more things , but as always, i dont remember them all .

Achumama is complaining that i am not posting much in my blog , so even though i know that this is a boring post , i am posting it .

Muaaah !!!

The Struggling Film maker -

Before 2-3 months ,i was on a chat with my friend 'invent' ( ofcourse all about films and film making ). I told him about one of my stories 'One Night Stand' and before i finished , he told me .., "Lets make it , i will share half the production cost " .

That's how it started , and here i am 2-3 months down the line , with almost 70% of the film done.I'm happy that i have reached so far , and i am sure that i will go ahead and complete it no matter what comes ahead ., but still i feel a bit down due to all the unnecessary yet inevitable delays (contradicting eh ? let it be ).

So here i go , i am going to share with you on all my experiences till now and what happens to my short film ..(whatever may it be ) .

Episode 1 : The Beginning - Script , Screenplay and DP

To start with , i consulted a few of my friends who have experience in film making , and asked them whether i am capable enough to direct a short film . And with all the confidence they gave , i decided to give it a shot .

Me and Invent went to visit a studio which he knew , and then discussed about the cam and other costs . We planned the whole thing and our cost came around 15 K . That's great ," i can spend 7.5 K ", we both said together ...

OK ,now i had the task of writing script and screenplay . It took me around 10 days and about 150 cigarettes to complete a 14 page screenplay (may be the font size was large) . But still i had a proper screenplay , with even cam angles !

Now the next task was to find a cameraman or DP or cinematographer or whatever you call that man who look very serious on set . I again went through my set of friends and saw a lot of profiles and checked out their works , . Thats how i came across CamSat . He was introduced to me by one of my friends Vicky . I arranged a meeting with CamSat and called up another friend ModAr , and we met up on one fine evening . I showed my screenplay to them . When ModAr , as expected was more into the production costs and the marketing stratergies and other things about how to sell this 'product' , CamSat sat back and quietly read the script . I kept looking at him , but he never looked at me , which made me happy ,as i knew he was still reading it .

Finally , he kept all the papers inside the file , and looked at me and said . "Thats interesting plot , lets do it " . I smiled , and ModAr shook his head .

When CamSat left , ModAr asked me a very important question . "He is a proffessional ,just completed a feature film as DP., doesnt he expect something ?I mean financially?" ... That question left me worried . I knew he was the guy who can do it , but my budget plan do not have a space called 'remuneration for cameraman' . I nervously called up CamSat and asked him politely . "Do you expect anything , ehh.. like remuneration" . He laughed for sometime and told me "Dont worry , lets do it , then if you find anything left in your budget , let me know "

I didnt know how to thank him ..,even at this point i dont know how to !

I was Busy !

Long time , since i have written anything in here , but seriously , I was very Busy

Do i have another post just like this one ?Damn !

Ok , alright ., so as you would have read in the previous post , i had been behind that goose most of the time . And fuck , she hides well (If i make the goose a 'he' , i may sound gay) .

I started making a short film , after that long wait . But it is still incomplete . I will write another big bloody post about all the struggles and fun and diarrheas that i had to face in the process

I am wondering whether i am becoming normal in my personal life . I no longer spend days and months thinking about how to flirt and have sex (though i have hardly succeeded) . I recently went out on a date with a gal , and gosh! ., i was so bored . The same dialogues , the same places , the same style . I am seriously bored of this ..

There is another romantic part that is developing in my life . Fuck , i dont understand why these things are happening to me !I was not like this last time i wrote a post in here .
Did some one do
an Illunga surgery on me ? Or is it just that i am getting older ?




Anyways , as my editor always says , lets keep it short ! I will come back with other great stories later :)









PS: There is nothing called as IIIunga surgery , i just used the toughest word in english so that you people would go crazy about it !

The Wild Goose Chase


I am sitting in my office , 5.30 AM in the morning waiting for my shift to end.I am back to night shifts after what they call as the honeymoon (training) period .

Oh did i tell you that i am finally on to a new project ? Its a different thing from what i have been doing for past 2 years , but i am happy that i at least have a job to go to .

So coming back to the topic.,I am wondering what all i want in life . The dreams are big and many . I want to be very very rich , i want to make wonderful movies , i want to tell beautiful stories , i want to be a good network engineer , i want to blog ,i want to have sex with a european woman , and finally i want to discover a meteorite which will crash on earth and we all get fucked !

Many people tell me that i am in a wild goose chase . And i agree .I am chasing a wild goose ., not just one , but many . And i have two explanations why i do it

1.I believe life is all about Karma Yoga . I dont want to lead a normal life and then when i become 60 , look back and think how stupid it was not to follow my passions when i was 20 .
2.Wild gooses are chase'able . All you need to do is a couple of months of jogging practice.If you don't trust me check this out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylag_Goose .

So let me continue wild goose chase .(My only worry is whether Menaka Gandhi and co. wouldfile a case on me . )

PS: I am not able to change the font of this post !

My Story in passionforcinema

My story got published in passionforcinema .

http://passionforcinema.com/hmmm

I know its not that much of a BIG deal , but , it still makes me a lot happy to see my article among authors like Anurag Kashyap , Nasuridheen Shah etc . And more over , i think it is the first story to be published there .

I wrote this story , on a chat session with my friend Aishu . She just wanted me to tell her a story , and since i was jobless at office , just went on writing . I think she stopped listening after a while , but i didnt :P . And thus the story 'Hmmm' was made .

Check it out !

Jade Goody and the fact of life

I usually dont write about people , especially celebrities , but the story of Jade Goody is not yet another masala entertainer , it just teaches the cruel fact of life .

Called upon as the stupidest women ever to be a celebrity , hated by most sections of the intellectual western society , shock of a slumdog who became a millionare overnight, and most importantly , the Shipa Shetty issue and the celebration by Indian media .

Jade is among one of the most searched celebrity , has a billion dollar bunglaw , married to her teenage sweetheart , has a collection of finest dresses in the world , wonderful and healthy sons(4 and 5) , she has even been talked about in the Parliament ., but is going to die with in a month .

Jade did not know that it would be so soon , when she boarded the flight to participate in Indian Big brother show ., but that is the unfortunate and cruel truth of life .

Every day i see the British Media giving front page news about her , celebrating and making money out of the ' dying celebrity' . They give space for everyone who once abused her to come back and sympathise , give live updates of her literally devastated pictures , and take interviews of her friends , relatives or even the gardner . I have seen people in Tamil Nadu celebrating post death , dancing and crakers , they believe that they want the soul to go happily to heaven . Now , the Western society , known for its 'forward outlook' towards life , takes one step forward , and is celebrating death , before the person is dead . Here is a few headlines


I am not here to sympathise for Jade , but i want to appreciate her for her courage , to dress up as a bride with painkillers in the pocket , to come out smiling and talk to people , and finally to accept the fact of life and death at the age of 27.



God bless Jade and her sons .

Female blogs get unfair attention !

God.. i cannot take this any more , i am jealous of all the hot girls in the world .

Im gona fight against this injustice shown against all guy (not gay) bloggers ! Im here by starting a Sena for all male bloggers who get zero readers . Its called as

Sri Purusha Blogger sena !

Our primary targets are

#Get 33% reservation for all Purusha bloggers

#Invade blog discussion rooms , drag all the Sthree's and beat them up


Further updates to be made after upcoming brain storming session .


SPBS ki Jai !

Valentines Day thoughts

Ahh .. Valentine's day . This time its a Saturday , wow! Thats great news !

Whats the use of a valentine's day if you have to go to office , call your partner every half an hour , tell her how much you miss her and then in the evening , go out tired with her , doze off in between that 'valentine's day dinner' and go back home and complain yourself how sick the day was .

No worries this time folks , its a Saturday .




Wait a minute , why am i so excited after all ? :O

It will be the same old Feb 14 for me , as it was for most of the past 15 years (I am not taking my love life before 10 seriously) . These are the things that i would do this V day as well .

#Expect that some strange girl would call me
#Expect that some girl would come and talk to me
#Expect that the girls who are giving me looks are thinking of proposing me

And at about 9PM in the evening , when none of the above happens , i will feel bad , wonder why there is no girl in this whole world who would want to be my valentine . Then i will think about one or two of those valentine's days that i have actually celebrated , wonder how much i miss her and related shite thoughts .

At about 11.30 PM , i will be glad that i am still single , that i can drink , smoke and do what i feel like doing without any one pissing me off every now and then . Now thats a wonderful feeling , better than the 'feel of love' .

OK, alright ,i am not going to spoil the valentine's day mood , so i am gona give my suggestions for all those boyfriends/wanabe boyfriends .





*When you meet her , look at her eyes for about 8-10 secs and tell her 'You are looking so beautiful' . Trust me guys , there is no girl in this world who would not fall for that .

*Do not look and enjoy her body in the begining of the day , i will tell you when you can do that . Try to make her laugh .

*If you are eating lunch , eat well .Do not show formalities here , else ,you will get tired for activities later in the day . Make sure that you care about what she eats as well

*Tell her that you love cooking and learning different languages , but never got a chance till date .

*Make her feel like she is a smart woman,even though most girls are dump .

*If you are in for a movie , you can hold her hands or put your hands around ,but dont overdo things now . Most girls wants to feel that she is secured and loved and cared .

*Take her for a long drive in the evening .Tell her that she has got wonderful hair

*Take her to a dinner to a crowded restaurant and tell her that you are gona kiss her there ,then watch her get upset , and then tease her as far as you can , and kiss her when you are about to leave , preferably at the exit door , and give tips to the smiling watchman.

*Tell her that it would have been great if everyday was like this ,and how much you love her .

------Optional - Do not try if you are not sure -----------

*Ask her if she really wants to go home/hostel tonight . There is a late night party at a near by restaurant , which would be wonderful . (Now hold your breath and pray )






"Now what the hell was that menon ? Oh cmon ,you just have one intention , dont you ? Sex Sex Sex "


Alright , i didnt mean that . I am sure , even if she rejects and goes back home ,if you really love her , you would have enjoyed the day , and will definitely keep dreaming for the rest of the day .

So all valentines , enjoy the day , but drive safely :) If you need any kind of advices or tips ,do email/message me ,i am mostly jobless.

Alright , let me go and decide what i am wearing on saturday , i need to Google and find out what those colors correspond to !

Fever realisation

Fever realisation



I have been recently hit by a very bad viral fever which knocked me out for over a week .

God ! That was some really bad experience. I am basically a very active person , and to stay in
bed eating biscuits and bread , just made me go nuts . But bloody , i don't have a choice when i got fever.

I have always been a 'Fever Boy' . Fever Boy is someone who often gets Fever . I remember those cricket fields(i cant call them grounds ,coz they were mostly , rice fields converted to Lords and MCG ) , where i always had to wear a long sleeved shirt , to manage a nose running faster than me .

My mom was too caring that she never allowed me to go out early in the morning , or late in the evening , or eat ice creams or cold food .I could not even take bath in the ponds or stay in the sun for a long time . Though i violated most of those rules , i somehow ended up disliking ice creams . Even now , i am the 'Strange man' , because i do not eat ice creams . (That has a problem ,Cute Girrlls lovvve ish creams , and they hate guys who hate the gods own dish.)

Well ,when fever was a nightmare for me,there were this group of guys in my school , who loved getting fever . They said they do not have to come to school and could always sleep . WTF ! I just cannot understand people who loves to sleep for long hours . I usually get upset if i sleep too long . These people even used several tricks to get fever , stuff like , keeping onion underarms overnight ! Huh !

Taking too much of care of any disease could also be a problem . If it is a common cold , dont take pills . Let it stay , your immune system is good enough to prevent it .

Im worried whether my smoking drinking habits are affecting (is it effecting? bloody i always confuse these two words) my health . In the past 8 months i was hit twice by very bad viral fevers . I did a thorough blood test , thank god everything looks fine .

When i was lying down sleepless for long hours ., i just realised that our health is the most important thing in our life . There will be zero fun with bad health.When we all move around joking at everything , have we ever thought of those who are sick? Not just a fever ., but some bad diseases ? If a bad fever can bring such sadness to me , think about them .

So guys , yes , we all joke, drink , and fuck around a lot ., but everyday , stop for a second and thank that unknown someone , who has given you good health for one more day .
