Hello friends.
Wish you a very Happy New Year.
I know its coming couple of weeks late. Sorry bout that!
My New Year has begun like this:-
New Year...New Work...New Project...
Wife at Home, Me in Office...
Routine? Daily? You ask..
Daily...Hmmph! Well you could say almost!
I sincerely hope that this New Year has much more to offer than the newly bestowed knack of finding and accumulating official work.
Have a Good Day..Good Afternoon...Good Evening... Good Night.. whichever suits you best!
Cheers,
Rosh

Jingle Bell Rock
He: When I say Jingle Bell! You say Rock!
He: Jingle Bell
We: Rock
This was how Billy Yesudian a.k.a William Tell started his rocking performance yesterday at our office campus. People especially enjoyed his "Cinderalla" song.
Apart from Billy, WoW (Women of Worth) band based out of Chennai also performed a few traditional and contemporary Christmas numbers.
The highlight of the show was Benny Prasad - India's most travelled musician - internationally acclaimed guitarist who performed at Sydney and Athens Olympics as well as 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Even thought I wasn't there to witness Benny's performance, I know he would have Rocked too.
I think I hear Santa singing.
Santa: When I say 'Ho Ho!' You sa 'Ha Ha'
Santa: Ho Ho!
Me: Ha Ha!
Cheers to every one! May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Priceless!
Wifey, looking at the lovely Pears soap : Why is it that the soap has dissolved from one end?
Me : Pata nahi yaar! BTW, Is that the left or the right side of the soap where it has dissolved?
Wifey, with an 'Are you crazy' look on her face : I dunno.
Me with a straight face : Left.
Wifey, with more 'Are you crazy' look on her face : Why? How?
Me : Because that is what is left of it.
Wifey , all appreciative : That was a good one!
Me, taking a bow : Thanks.
Pears transparent glycerine soap : Rs. 35
Matching Soap case : Rs. 50
Expression of wifey's face when I, finally, managed to crack a Non PJ : Priceless!

More British Fun.
There is more to British apart from their choice of choicest surnames and their tendency of naming their houses, lanes, parks, streets, towns and what-not after parts of the human anatomy (Please refer to my previous post).Scots hate them, and so do we. We all know why we hate them, but why the Scots hate them is a very funny (madeup) story.
Lone long time ago, when the Scots and Britsh were close friends, The Scottish king( For convenience and due to lack of any creative ideas, I name him King Scot) had a whim. He wanted to name all the lochs(lakes in Scottish) in Scotland. He asked his wise high priest, Mr. Wise for help.
Mr. Wise, was wiser than what his name suggested! I mean extremely wise! He told the king that he should bring in a British Mapmaker to do the job. Mr. Wise knew that the British were in the habit of conquering kingdoms and drawing maps of it. And that they were good at it - both conquering and Map-making.
It was a brilliant idea. Allowing Britishers to draw a map of Scotland, without allowing them to conquer it! The king saluted the idea. It was a brilliant plan. King Scot sent a messenger to the Queen of England; addressed henceforth as The Queen.
The Queen was more than happy to comply with King Scot's request. She asked her leading mapmaker, Mr Super Map to help the Scots draw their map.
After three days of hectic travel, Mr. Super Map reached Scotland along with the messenger. He was overwhelmed by the spectacular welcome that was arranged for him - Women, Music and Wine!
That very night, a heavily drunk, Mr. Super Map started his task of drawing the map. He started naming the lakes - Loch Katrine, Lock Lomond, Loch Ness (famous for the adorable 500 tonne Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie as he is fondly addressed), Loch Fyne, and so on and so forth till he was totally depleted of ideas.
He had 2 more lakes to name but he did not know what to call them.
Tired, drunk, and emptied of ideas he decided to name one as Lochie (Yeah! That's right! Lock Lochie :-) and the other one as Lake of Meredith.
Now you know why the Scots hate Britishers.
- What the hell is one 'Lake' doing in between so many 'Lochs'?
- And what kinda name is Loch Lochie anyways? Would you like it if you were christened Tom Tommie or worse Hank Hankie?
The story has a gruesome ending with Mr. Super Map losing his head so I am skipping the details!
But as I mentioned earlier, from that day onwards, the Scots and the British are at loggerheads with each other.
Cheers,
Rosh

In Indian Context :-
- Poonam Cootan sarees. 75% off.
- Ganesha Loandry
- Roti Land Dhabha - Cool Chilld Bear here
- Kim Herbal Beauty Porlaur
- Ashok Palace Resturant - Ashok Palace Restorunt (They put the board twice with different spellings, hoping to get at least one right. But sadly, it wasn't to be)
In British Context :- (They know their spelling all right! But what's wrong with their brains? Why can't they seem to have decent names to their lanes and streets? )
- Crotch Crescent
- Lady gardens
- Squeeze Guts Alley
- Saggy Scrotum Cross (I am not making this up. This landmark is in Kent)
- Nutter Lane
- And who can forget the famous 'Back Passage' in London
You can find many more crazy town names @ http://www.townpages.com/. I bet that once you got through a few of these pages, you will be ROFLYAO.
And to add icing to the cake, they have pretty funny surnames too- Ryan Sidebottom (Current English cricketer.. Brilliant Bowler.. Wacky hairstyle)
- Harry Balls
- Timothy Rothenchild
- Minnie Shatter
- James Schuh

Oh Bed! Oh Bed!
You may want to know the reason behind me composing such 'beddy' poetry.Oh Bed! Oh Bed!
How comfortable art thou.
Young or Old, Happy or Sad;
Everyone's welcome on thou!
Single or Married, Straight or Gay;
It does never matter to you.
You are a kind old nurse to
Anyone who comes to you.
Oh Bed! Oh Bed!
How wonderful are thou.
When I lay my aching head on you,
You tenderly sing me good nigh'
Strong or Weak, John or Jane;
You never discriminate.
You take away all my pain.
Oh sweet heaven on earth!
Oh Bed! Oh Bed!
How lucky I am you know?
Back from office, when at home,
I can gently rest on thou.
Well! I have enrolled for driving classes. I need to wake up at 6:00 A.M. .... groom myself and then walk for a good 20 minutes to reach the driving school. On top of that, even though it's just mid November but it's so freakin' cold in the mornings.
It is at these times when I long for a 5 minute more rest on the comfortable bosom of my dear bed. There is no particaular reason for this, just human nature - "When one has to wake up early in the morning, it is then, more than at any other time, that one loves to sleep for an extra minute in bed."
How wonderful are the ways of nature! When you have, you don't use it but when you have not, you most certainly crave for it.
Enough about beds, I suppose. Yawnnnn.... I am tired! You must be tired too. Such is the taxing effect of my compositions on others.
Have a good sleep.
Cheers,
Rosh
