Whats that smell???

-
You walk into a party and the person next to you smells of Hugo Boss but you like Sauvage, you actually cannot stand Boss, what will you do? Remember you do not know the person well, nor do you have any care for his well-being. It is just that you are sure that your Sauvage is always superior to his Boss. Would you then…

-         Probably go and tell him have you tried Sauvage? Or why don’t you try Sauvage because of its merits?
-          Probably gift him a bottle of Sauvage for an upcoming event so that he can try it for himself and see the benefits?
-     Probably call people together and say everyone smell his Boss and my Sauvage and tell everyone which is better? It better be Sauvage.
-          Probably go and tell him, you will not wear Boss because you think that Boss is not good and more importantly Boss offends you?
-     Probably just grin and bear it
Probably move far away where Boss does not offend you so much because the guy is not worth it? 
Probably go and ask him what made him choose Boss and try it our for yourself?
-          
If you do any of the above and it works for you congratulations, you have superior olfactory and people skills. If none of them work and the other is still using Boss, it is high time to get a life and work on it. Work on YOUR life.

P.S. Read the post again and replace Sauvage and Boss with your preferred food, language, religion, habits. It may still work.
P.P.S I don’t use perfumes I am told that Boss and Sauvage are among the top perfumes for men.

    Clement, I read Sauvage as Sausage at first....! :D Also, don't about these two, if you ever decide on getting a perfume, try Issey Miyake for men (or women, for D) - it's my goto for K's birthday presents!

      I am allergic to perfumes and so I am not too much into it. Google helped me with these names. My doc has strictly warned me off them as they give me a massive headache.

    Ashika, bcoz he is allergic, we don't do mosquito repellents, perfumes and deosprays for the both of us. So I have at least three bottles of perfumes gifted by various people untouched!

    Clement you are sort of losing your touch, i guessed whats coming, maybe the side effects of longtime co habitation🤣

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
