Ajay Shroff (a friend of mine) and Nanette (a friend of his) have thrown into the cauldron called Internet two ticking time-bombs. You don’t want to be the one that didn’t enjoy the blast…so rush for it now: www.suggestamovie.com&www.suggestabook.com
I am surprised these domain names were available for Ajay. It is quite an interesting concept…go give it a shot. For all you know, this could be your ticket to publishing your own book or taking your own movie
Meanwhile, both Rekha and I are traveling together to Kerala for the …

Some children are not as lucky as I have been. You could blame it on their parents.
While my father and mother taught me some damn nice things, I think there are various kinds of parents out there who would teach any darn thing to their kids.

Currently there are two (or too?) many twins in our family. One of our relatives – Sandhya from Rekha’s side –gave birth to boy twins a few days back. Wonder how she is going to manage.
And today morning, I got a funny message from my younger sister -
A sardar had twins, he named them Tara and Sitara. After a few years he again had twins and he called them Peter and Repeater. When after two more years his wife gave birth to another set of twins…a little upset Sardar tried …

It is 11.41 p.m. and I am just back after meeting an interesting couple from Rekha’s past.
It was 8.00 p.m. and I had just walked into the house from office, when we got information that two college seniors of Rekha, who would eventually get married, were in Chennai and wanted to come home. At 9.00 p.m., Rekha got a call that they couldn’t get out of Saravana Stores in time and thus wouldn’t be able to come. Rekha was visibly upset.
“Are they important to you?” I asked.
“Yes,” she replied and …

My brother-in-law. i.e., Rekha’s sister’s hubby is a layer…oops lawyer. And like all lawyers he is quite an interesting guy.
He and his family paid us a visit a few days ago. It is only ‘payment’ they have made us. During an after-dinner conversation, I sought my brother-in-law’s advice regarding a case I was fighting against the Govt. of India. Here is how the conversation went –
Me: Just needed your advice.
Brother-in-law: Regarding?
Me: I am involved in a case against the Govt. of India.
Brother-in-law: Ok. And?
Me: I want to know if I …
Blogging, My Family & In-Laws »
I decided. I searched. I found the place. I mingled. I drank the coffee (?!). I left.
This is exactly how I would describe Sunday’s Chennai Bloggers Meet ….in 16 words. If you give me more elbowroom…maybe I can spice it up for you.
[Whatever I say after this line needs to be read with a pinch on salt on one hand and some pepper in the other]
I am not much of a guy for Blog Meets. And it was for the same reason that I didn’t visit the Bangalore Bloggers meet …

You don’t marry a girl. You marry her relatives.
While some agree that that marriage is the fastest way of transferring funds or bringing in a change of management, I believe that it is the quickest way to insanity.
I recently visited Bangalore for I was invited to a marriage in Rekha’s family. Being a first-hand experience, it was quite a handful. I wouldn’t have gone…had I not watched an episode of ‘Who dares Wins’ hosted by Mike Whitney on AXN.
I told Rekha, “Come on…I feel cocky..let us go to the marriage.”
“What …
