Dream Girl

Poison and Silverine are the culprits for the insanity you gonna read now. This tag is to list down 8 points abt the ‘perfect lover’ I have in mind. Damn serious business with some rules and regulations including but not limited to saying three ‘Hail Mary’s before starting and many such... I liked Poison’s serious approach but I have decided to liberally use the license given by Silverine, yes, the license to dream.

1. She should know how to manoeuver an automobile. Check out third of my 'Seven-things-you-plan-to-do-before-you-die!!' stuff for another tag. Mastery of a cruiser bike will fetch extra points.
2. Its my dream girl, let her be as beautiful as Aish. Please allow me to wish for a face that will make my day, for, every time I look in a mirror, I get a mild heart attack. There was a standing joke in my class about my face being slightly ‘smoother’ and ‘better looking’ than an old worn out aluminum pot.
3. I have mentioned this somewhere else. She should be girly/feminine when it comes to small things and at the same time matured and capable of handling big things in life on her own.
4. I prefer an engineer. Not to have those pseudo-intellectual technology discussions post supper, but because only a girl whos been through the portals of an engineering college will be in a position to take my monkey tricks in the right sense and appreciate em.
5. Deep down, I am a typical Pala achayan, so all those feminists, lets call truce. I am not looking for a work sharing formula. Like we all know, whats life without 'Beef Ulathiyathu', Chicken Roast, and all the other typical central Travancore dishes. So me lookin for someone who can feed me, as I am a novice when it comes to cooking. For washing, lets have a pact with IFB. And for ironing, I don’t mind letting her decide what I need to wear to office, and making sure it looks good. I guess I have covered all the major points about day-to-day life.
6. What abt one who knows singing and dancing? When I start singing, people around me suddenly start thinking of migrating to nearby nations. So it’s a good idea to have the company of someone who knows the art. I have some hidden motives behind that dancing bit. In parties, when I start dancing, (most of the time) others pick up their dishes. So if I have a partner who dances well, I can just tap my feet occasionally, pretend as if I am a great dancer, and then boast to my friends that she first fell in love with my dancing and so on and so forth...
7. I am a football/party lover. So if she is fascinated about some indoor hobbies like reading, knitting, bonsai-ing etc etc, I guess it will be a perfect balance. You know what I mean, ;-), right?
8. I love body massage.

Me passing this to Venus, AF and Flash. I am sure Flash will make a mess out of this :_D

Nostalgia

I am happy that my Training Morons triggered a deluge of mails in our group. 72 and still counting as I write this. Our group took a trip down the memory lane.

"the training time, monthly treats, 56 kali, leg pulling sessions, the various trips, vellamadi parties, onam celebration, cooking, marine drive, bombay hotel, bandra band stand, ganapathy bhavan, different chechimar and god knws wht all." - Munna

"sherikkum kurachu samayam nammude pazhaya kaalathekku poyi oduvil oru vyarthamaaya neduveerppumittu thirichethi ..... "breaked for tea" vaayichu chirchu chirichu vattaayi ..." – Saabriman

"Those days were golden days . Dont know whether any time would come to beat that. To be frank even don't know whether we ourselves can play that part, in case we all come back together again. Every one might have changed a lot." – Sam

"a lot of things have changed in the last four years. well, they have to. but one thing that amuses me a lot is that though we are scattered across the globe, we are still in touch with each other in one way or another. though we are missing important events in our lives like marriage and all, we are still updated abt each others. donno hw long will it continue, but hv to agree that there is certain warmth in the relationships we have and i kind of enjoy the warmth so much that i dont feel good to welcome a change." - Munna

"too good...missing all those lovely moments...a lot of memories started rushing in :)..." - Ikka

And then somebody remembered about our old mail chains. Jack had started writing a 'Guess Who' series, in which he described some of us in his inimitable style. I have got em published here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. (Shall get the first one soon). One of em is about me. Then there was a tit for tat reply to that list, in the form of another mail which Nero and Pusher published describing Jack himself. Another famous mail was the one which was supposed to be a next-change billboard at the CET Theater.

I Know this doesnt make any sense to the outsiders...But for us, each of these sentences has associated stories piggybacked. This is for us, the 14 CETians, to have a hearty laugh each time we go thru this. I know this is not the end of the journey. Three cheers to the ongoing spirit!!!

A Tribute to "His Highness Mandan"

From: Nero and Pusher

The person whom i'm going to introduce to you needs no introduction...He's the (below) average indian foolish joe. It is hard to describe this unique phenomenon...But here we make a brave attempt.

Acid tests are not enough for this brave soul, for he went a step further for his favourite mobile...the Urine test...which ended in three stages OH! S***! F***!

This person owes a lot to the MP3 file format without which he may not be here with us today. His mentor and master Mr.GB was so impressed by his talents during exam, that he couldnt bother taking eyes off this maestro in action....and after the exam this person couldnt lay eyes on his mentor ever again...probably due to respect.

His encounter with the PCS computers could be well summed up in one line..."Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind" for he believes firmly that his computer is an alien and he can talk to it...results are just a matter of using the right word with the coumputer.

His antics in the first project led him to the next project within just 1 week...probably because of his success in fixing stuff under the table...or probably because of his exploits in java/jsp or may be just because he was the only soul kind enough to help his team mates (read ex-) in times of trouble.

He is a true conversationalist for he does not allow even his sleep to come in between his conversations...not even a hen, for that matter.

He has cheated death many times...once with the help of an injection too...his body is a testing ground for all kinds of antibiotics for it is here where they get tested before they hit the market.

Once his daily diet included 4 kgs of cork and 1 sandwich....that was before he begged for the mercy killing which his doctor refused...but now it is now reduced to largely a diet of fresh leaves.

This explorer is often creditted for the discovery of "Kairali Mess" but the truth is known by a couple of his true friends.Like Columbus who proclamed he had discovered India on the shores of America....he claimed to have discovered some medical shops instead of "Kairali Mess".

His endeavour in climbing the tallest of mountains (Mt. Khargar) cannot be outdone by even Tenzing Norgay or Edmund Hillary...for they climbed the mountain with Shoes which our hero didn't bother to bring along(which was the sole reason for any lack of pace...if there was any).

He is truly the Back Stroke Swimming (make that kicking) champion of India...ask Sujith who stood testimony to his path breaking kick.

Say phone and this person rings a tone. He is not a product of British Raj but come a phone call and his official language changes to English.

All said and done we cannot do anything but admire this unique feat of nature...this serendipity...this avatar...Mr. J

...in the end we leave you with a extract from his favourite quotes (any resemblances to certain movie dialogues is certainly unintentional)

enthokke keetindu nigal Manduvine kurichu...

java chodichappol mp3 file kuduthavan Mandu,

sql connection engane open cheyyum ennu chodichappol ariyilla ennu paranjavan Mandu,

Guess Who 6

From: Jack
Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 10:55 AM

This is the sixth mail in the series and this is about a person who is credited with the invention of the neural time machine.This invention forced his parents to change his name and his new name stuck with him for 4 yrs of college after which a new addition was there to his name and that was "KUNDAN". This name was gifted to him by another employee of the software company where he works, and the story of how this came about is very interesting.

One day the character of this story was undergoing training and he sat near an employee during the class. He saw that the employee was wearing a pink shirt. He was interested and he told the employee "GOOD SHIRT". The employee hearing that said that he belonged to "KUNDAN" gang and that was why he was wearing such a shirt. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He saw his opportunity and he said "I TOO HAVE SUCH A SHIRT. IT HAS BEEN MY LIFE LONG AMBITION.CAN I JOIN THIS GANG?". The employee glad to have a partner in the gang accepted him. His induction into the gang was quick. He learned the special noise the members of the gang make as they see a person. He learned how to approach a person. How to recruit a person etc. Suddenly others heard of his new nature. Men kept away from him. He denounced marriage for other reasons. Here ends the story of how he got his name. At times he is called by the employee to do him favours which he kindly carries out.

Weekdays he is busy at work and he is not able to carry out duties for the gang. He is free on week ends. He makes up excuses that he is going to his relatives house. He uses this time to carry out his duties for the gang and do favours for the employee.

Nowadays he is very desperate. It is because the only girl he loved has left him. She has gone to madras. When she left him he has turned more to this new gang for comfort and support.

Another characteristic of this person is his battered face. He has received many blows on his nose especially. Mainly due to activities carried out by the gang and slaps on face with shoes by men. He is careful nowadays. One day when he went for medical check up the doctor asked how many broken bones. His reply made the doctor faint. The answer was 30. This explains his characteristic walk. He has to carry so many broken bones in him.

He spends a lot of time chatting with his gang members through the net and phone. He spends at times about 50-60 rs a day on local calls for carrying out duties and fixing appointments.

As usual sorry for any resemblances to any living person and even if there is any resemblances it will be only to an unique person.
