ORGANIZING RANDOMNESS

Joyfulness. Bliss. Stress free. Beauty. Love. Peace. All of us long for the above. In all our pursuits, we finally want to be happy. The journey of life is to unwrap this gift happiness that lies somewhere. But, where is it? With my girl friend? With my grades? With my 6 digit income? Does it lie in our hands? Is there a guide who can reveal this secret to us? Do we need a guide who can show us the path? When does it happen? Has it happened already? Do we experience it every day or once a week or now and then? Can it be scheduled? Is it spontaneous? Is it something gross or tangible? Is it a subtle emotion? Is it an emotion? Can it be taught? They and many other queries arose in me. The thing that bamboozles me the most is the fact that irrespective of what we do in our lives, one fine day, the appointed time does arrive. Yes, it’s the stipulated time to face Lord Yama. He doesn't spare anybody. You may have all the wealth k...

So, is it a comedy piece? Is it a melodrama like the countless yesteryear classics? Is it a Gautham Menon fantasy ride on the Indian Railways? [Gosh, only he can come up with such stuff] Well, I'll go ahead and call it chaos. At some point in time, our minds tend to find some order in randomness. And well, I want to share one such incident. Now that I am 'jobless' and/or 'unemployed' for the next six months, I've decided to attain individual salvation. Yes, I've decided to become part sanyasi [not inspired by Nityananda :P] ; the first step being to flee from Chennai. So, I had to catch this train at 10 50pm to Pune this Wednesday, and by all means, I reached there like an hour early. After a few phone calls, I finally became idle only to be abused by a Bihari couple for no rational reason whatsoever, in what seemed like Bhojpuri slang. Frustrated a bit, I could think of only one thing that could cheer me up - Saravana Bhavan's Pure Filter Coff...

Things have finally settled down a bit after a rather hectic 45 days. So last Saturday, few of us decided to go for the 2nd show for Oru Kal Oru Kannadi[OK OK]. There is nothing special about the film. It's just another mediocre effort, mediocre script, an awful hero, and a brilliant comedian. But, it's not the movie that I'll remember. It's the after effect, which was rather bizarre that day. There are 3 important things one has to remember when going for a Night Show: 1. Carry your documents along.  2. Don't throw away your movie tickets.  3. Wear Helmet. So, I strictly adhered to the above points. The theater was about 12km from my house. I had almost reached home, and surprisingly, there weren't any cops en route. But then, I was wrong.  I was stopped by them, along with another dude. He was returning home after his office party, and was little drunk. So, they dealt with him first. He didn't have any documents, no helmet, and w...

Of late, My Mother has been worried and also active! Now, when does anyone get affected with the mentioned symptoms? Is it some sort of stress disorder? Some Allo pathy side effects? Some Homeo pathic  bullshit? Menopause? Wait! Maybe, it's the Venkatachala pathy effect! Well! That wasn't the case!  She's been on the hunt for some girls!  I was shaken!  "Amma? I am off to Hydera bad only! It's not ' bad',  ok!! Rombo over ah illa??" Now, she was shocked! "I am not searching for you Eruma Madu! Chi Kalambu!" Now I was disappointed.  Cha! WTK? You don't want your parents to fiddle around with your personal life! It's just not cool. But, when you find out that they aren't actually bothered about it, you get the creeps! You begin to wonder.... A slap on the face! My intellect intervened! Life's is not always about you! So, just shut up and analyse! So I did! Many of my relative...
