Have mouth, will put _ _ _ _ in

-






Hand, foot, mouth is a disease that is spreading in Chennai. When kids put their hands in their mouths they catch an infection which causes rashes all over. The doctors say that it will subside in a few days and there is no cure. That is with kids who do not understand the gravity of the action;  these days we have grown up idiots who are suffering from foot in mouth disease and they go and put their dirty shoes also for good measure.
                                 




I am talking about these idiots who are making inane comments to the media about things which they frankly seem to have no clue about but will still speak because they have been given a VIP status. VIP also means velai illatha p!@#$%^&* and every idle mind lends himself to the devil said a wise man. A spiritual leader has just joined the foot in mouth club with a statement I don’t think worthy of repeating, he was preceded by a political leader insinuating a state for throwing up rapists, another leader has clearly told everyone where he keeps the lady of his house and you know now that you can give a hate speech and holiday abroad if you are a MLA. Sadly the most memorable words spoken by a leader are the words that should not have been, teek  hai.

These opinion leaders govern the thought processes of their respective flocks and I shudder to think what will come of them. It looks like there is no process to muzzle these people and when the supposed law makers cock a snook at the law it appears that there is not much we can do.

On second thought there is something we can all do, we can simply ignore these idiots and influence those we know to do likewise. A “nobody” becomes a VIP only because the people give him importance, time we take it away and encourage others to do likewise. Will it make a difference? I do not know but it is still better than doing nothing. It only takes a spark to get a fire going…

P.S. Watch Jackie do this in style
                                     

PEACE.

    Oh Gosh, I too cannot believe all the insane comments that come from these demented minds. Wonder how they came to be in power, sad pathetic life forms.

This was a crude translation of a proverb that comedian Karunas (as pointed out by Chriz ) made famous in one movie. The Tamil original runs thus, “Kazhutha ketta, kutti suvaru” so you have the translation. I heard that line somewhere and I wondered especially having heard the translation as to what could have been the origin of the proverb. Any ideas? PS: I Googled it and did find something.

Memories of PTC bus journeys!

MTC bus today! As I was turning into Haddows road today a MTC bus whizzed by nearly missing a few people on the road as is the norm. Just when I was about to curse the bus and its driver and everybody connected to it, my mind drifted back to the days gone by when I used to travel by these buses. The more my mind drifted, more instances that have been deeply etched in the confines of my memory came out like a mental slideshow. It is amazing how at the most unexpected moments lost thoughts surface and make even poor memory people like me feel good about us. Coming back to the post I thought I will put together a few memorable ones for the record. It was in the days of khaki shorts and white shirts, the old uniform of Dominic Savio Preparatory school (I’m told it has graduated to a matriculation now!) and its bigger sibling St. Bede’s Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School (100 years now, dear school of our hearts). School was a two stop bus ride from home if you got onto a white board bus

Appa tie, Amma gown

This post was spurred by some grammar related conversations in the CBC I   went through college with the tag “Peter” or the longer “Appa tie, amma gown” . If you have not got it yet, my English was flawless and for those who could not follow what I said they thought that this was payback. It was not a fluke, my parents did not have a convent education but they ensure that my brother & I got one. It was an Anglo Indian school where speaking any other language but English meant you ran rounds around the decent sized play ground. My neighbours were Anglo Indians too, a wonderful couple who also taught for a living in my school, did i forget to mention they had two daughters who were similar in age to my brother and me ensuring that we played & grew up together for a few years. As it was English near home and in school my fluency increased. But even this upbringing may not have been enough were it not for one unforgettable instance when I noticed that the washed
