Month: May 2009

It has been ages since I updated you on how my married life with Rekha has been progressing. Let me break the streak and come up with a post on how “blissful” the marriage has been.

As you are already aware I am not a fan of this institution called Marriage. Perhaps, because of what I heard at the Sri Anna Poorneshwari Temple in Cherrukunnu, two seconds before Rekha and I got married.

While adjusting my silk dhoti, I heard a 10-year-old boy ask his father: “Father, why is Chandran uncle giving Rekha didi`s hand to Rajan uncle? Why are they holding hands?”

Sometime back I had written that after Rhea`s birth (my two year old daughter), Rekha (my God-knows how old wife) and I had started fighting for different reasons. If you missed that, you can re-read the blog post here.

So, last Friday we fought again – after 2 months.

Before leaving office at 8 p.m., I called up Rekha.

“Rekha, I will be late. I am sorry.”

“Everything fine… right? With all this recession, one can never be sure.”

This was a little like summer of 69 – when the sex was dirty and the air was clean. Back then, I was young and energetic and didn`t need to eat two capsules of Spirulina (try it!) just to stay awake. Just in case you are wondering, I eat five tablets of Spirulina when I am meeting a girl in the evening.

Anyway, lets stick to important things…I have been a little busy of late and hence couldn`t come up with an article which can be claimed as ‘funny`.

What does a failed writer do in such circumstances? Does he go to great lengths to please his readers? Nope…being a sissy, I also opted for the easy way out.

You all know that there was a time in my life when Television was my friend, philosopher & guide.

You perhaps also know that Rekha and I once used to fight for the Television remote and now fight over different issues.

You have also read how my life has been influenced by television. If no…you should read my life`s Maggi story.

Television being such an important part of my life (not as important as it used to be when I was 15…but important, alright)…it was a milestone achieved when I appeared on NDTV 24×7 last week.

When I left Yahoo in just seven months, I had sent out a farewell mail to all my Yahoo colleagues. Today, while going through my old mails…I saw this and I have to admit that I was impressed with the farewell mail I had sent out.

Thought why not share it with you. If you want to read the funniest farewell mail ever written, you will have to click here.

Here goes the farewell mail I wrote on June 14, 2007. I have to admit that I was a creative person before the heavy work at ibibo took its toll. 🙂
