What we call ‘Progress’ is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance. - Havelock Ellis (1859 - 1939)Ouchmytoe will soon be moving to a domain. The first steps have been taken - designing of the website. While most conporates prefer their launches to be surprises…Ouchmytoe thinks otherwise. It lets you be part of the change.

In one of the most far reaching welfare schemes implemented in recent times, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy today distributed laptops to farmers from the Guntur, Medak and Karimnagar districts.
When this Ouchmytoe correspondent, who traveled with the Chief Minister in the State helicopter, wanted …

 can’t say that this post is not inspired by Rekha. If I did, I will find myself walking to the court the next minute.
If you are 20 and below, I would suggest you stop reading this post. If you are above 20, and are married, please don’t tell your wife that you read Ouchmytoe. I could be trouble.
According to the scriptures which are yet to be released to the public (and are currently being guarded by the knights of the temples), headaches have been there since the days of Adam …

On Friday I flew back to Chennai. The cheap airlines might have brought ‘flying’ to the masses but they have also taken off the royalty built around flying.
At 5 p.m. on June 9, I walked up to the pretty receptionist at Kamat Lingapur Hotel in Hyderabad and said: “Hey, check me out!”
She almost swooned but managed to say: “Ohhh…I must say that you are handsome.” Eventually the Hotel manager interfered and conveyed to the girl that I actually wanted to check out of the hotel.
I asked the bell boy to …

The biggest advantage of traveling across cities as an IT professional is the bath tub you get to use in the hotels.
I have been alive for 31 years now but have never lived in a house with a bath tub. The closest I have come was when we had a 300 liter overhead tank over a concrete slab in our kitchen. I think that was way back in 1985, when I was ten years old.
I remember once taking bath in that tank. I bruised myself while getting in and out …

Now it is the time to answer my own question “Why am I telling you about my airplane high-jacking incident?”
Answer: I have arrived in life. I have booked a ticket in Spice Jet.
Living up to their expectation, Spice Jet handed me a print out with some haldi stain on it. When I asked what it was, they said: “True spice, sir.”
Some History
Before I take you along this article let me tell you why I am so excited at having bought an airplane ticket.
The Rajans have always been middle class people …

I promise.
The first time I tried, they said I shouldn’t sit ON the plane. The last time I tried, they said there were no vacant seats available.
I remember, in one of my attempts I was arrested by the Nepali Govt. I remember being tortured by the Nepali Police officials for close to five days who then dumped me at the Nepal-India border (do they have one?). As luck would have it, the Border Security Force picked me up and sent me to the Red Fort in Delhi. I would later …

They say traveling makes one a broadminded person. In my last 3-4 days in Hyderabad I have gained a lot of broadmindedness.
First and foremost, never ever empathize with the locals. Here is why – Before I left for Hyderabad a colleague told me that Hyderabadis pronounce ‘Satyam’ as ‘Satcham.’ I kept this in mind when I boarded a call-taxi to office on my first day here.
“Take me to the Satcham office in Hi-tech City,” I said.
“Satcham?”
“Yes, Satcham,” I said. I was visibly proud that I had struck the right chord …
