My sympathies. All this sounds quite horrific- including the Dileep movies bit. Plus, isn't Onam a veg festival? Egads!

hey, sids is back in form... a very good post...enjoyed reading it completely..n yes one should really watch kalyanaraman, but then it is a bit difficult to translate all the double meaning comedies in malu movies to someone else, somehow it does not sound so funny after translation...good work sids, keep it up....

ans to smitha's question, well poove poli poove is the start of a famous malu onam song... 'poova' or 'poove' in this context means flowers and it is a ritual kind to decorate your doorstep with flower patterns for onam

tatyana I and II [or shud that be III for bronze?!] rubbed anju's face in the dirt. she shudn't be worked up. after all, she did achieve her personal best, which is commendable.. pity her hopes n' our prayers that the other competitors wud experience F-1 G-forces, weren't answered.. but didn't u know she did get gold in the end?! courtesy ALUKKA's. HAHA! n' u didn't comment on abhinn shyam gupta's perf. in baddy. fought to 11-15 n then yielded the next 0-15!
yea n' lets all indulge in some dileep-bashing. i can't stand the sight of that fatfraught comedian. n' i wish de others wudn't comment on the quality of ur posts.. as i said once before, "Illegitimi non carborundum"

Finally... ur back.. Short stories and all are fine... but this post brought back the laughter into my Sedentary life ..btw..the sports guys would do much better if they were given a couple of lakhs by the MNC's to lie in the sand and drink colas...on the other hand..that still hasnt helped our cricket team

I'm convinced that the sports ministry should invest on the one sport where we could have a great chance. I propose the "Synchronised Swimming" Singles Event.
And of course a small matter of not letting anyone else compete.

The best strategy to win a gold is to hold the olympics in India , introduce a totally new game like long boat racing ( Onam fame) or bullfighting .. of course we have to fight the spaniards but not much competiton there. We can then win an olympic gold!!! Arun
