All in all Azhaguraaja

Published on June 10, 2007 in Humor, Just for Jolly and life. 1 Comment

If you are a late night or early morning TV watcher, you might be familiar with shows where people sell gem stones, change names and marriage dates, sell medicines and tips for a robust sex life, rebuild houses etc with the only goal of bringing prosperity and happiness into people’s life. People trust them all because they need instant success in life without hardwork. Last week, was watching one of these shows and there was a conversation going on between the host ( a name or numerologist ) and a participant. (The original conversation was in Tamil)

Participant : You say that you can bring peace and prosperity into life by changing people’s names, is it possbile to change country names too to bring world peace?

Host : Absolutely, it is possible. Take the case of India and Pakistan. India is in 5 and pakistan is in 7. That’s the reason for the enemity between these two countries. If names are changed to match 5 and 6, everything will go smooth.

இதுக்கு தான் ஊருக்கொரு ஆல் இன் ஆல் அழகு ராஜா வேணும்…

Ithukku thaan oorukkoru All in all azhaguraaja venumgarathu…

8th Pass vs SSLC Fail

Published on February 23, 2007 in Humor and Just for Jolly. 3 Comments

Balaji and I had a pretty short argument about the number of calls we receive in our mobiles on a daily basis. Balaji has 20 contacts and I have 250 contacts. I get around two to three calls per day whereas he gets one or two per day. The argument surrounded on who is worth using mobile and this reminded us of the famous Koundamani – Senthil joke. (Excerpt is from the movie Gentleman).

Senthil – Annae! Naan 8th pass annae. Neenga SSLC failu annae.

Koundamani – Dei naan SSLC da!

Senthil – Pass perusa Fail Perusa?

Koundamani – !@#$$%%

This put us in laughter for a while.

What a man!

Published on January 23, 2007 in Humor, Just for Jolly and people. 7 Comments

Sajeesh is my colleague and a avid movie fan like me. He is such a lively character that he makes one laugh with the jokes and one liners drawn from the films. Name a thing, he will have a joke or a scene from the movies substantiating it.
Recent one we use is the one liner What a man! from Padayappa. If you watched Padayappa, this one particular scene never goes unnoticed without laughing where Abbass quips in with this line when Rajnikanth shows his physique. If you ask Sajeesh about it, he will say that the Abbas never had the line to say in the original script and when the camera turned towards him for the shot, he blurted out this line spontaneously and the director left it along while editing. Sajeesh also goes on to explain that the director left it alone because he did not want to trouble Rajni with a retake. A funny explanation.

Now if someone does a simple thing or a gesture, he turns towards me and says What a man! .

Innocence is bliss

A month or two ago, I was there at Sabaree’s home on my way to a movie. Sabaree is a senior colleague and a good friend of mine. Spent around 30 minutes in his home and had a chance to speak with his nephew Prahalad who is a first grader. Here is the transcript of my conversation with him. The original conversation was in Tamil.

Prahalad : Uncle! Are you working with my Chittappa? Where are you coming from?

Me : Yes and I come from Ambattur.

Prahalad : How do you goto Tambaram?

(Tambaram is where my office is)

Me : By train.

Prahalad : How far is it from Ambattur?

Me : around thirty five kilometers.

Prahalad : Do you buy tickets daily?

Me : No. I buy monthly season pass.

Prahalad : What is monthly pass?

At that time, the milkman knocked the door and I tried to explain him with a simple example.

Me : Do you buy milk at home?

Prahalad : Yes. The milkman delivers it daily.

Me : Perfect. Do you pay him daily?

Prahalad : No. I don’t. I am not too old for that.

Me : (!@%$$&*) Ok! Does anyone who is elderly in the home pay him daily?

Prahalad : No. We pay him once in every month.

Me : It is the same way for the train. I don’t buy tickets daily. Instead, I pay for it once in a month by buying a monthly pass.

Prahalad : So, you come to say that you don’t buy tickets.

Me : !@%$$&*!!!!!

Prahalad : Ok fine! How long does it take for you to go to office by train?

Me : It takes around two and a half hours.

Prahalad : Do you know? It takes a week to travel to Delhi.

Me : No my boy! It was the scenario before five years. Now a days with advent of fast trains, it does not take that much time. I suppose one can reach Delhi in two days time.

He never believed me and looked at his grandfather.

Prahalad : Have you traveled in Train for ten thousand hours?

Me : huh?

Prahalad : How long will one reach if he travels for ten thousand hours?

Me : !@%$$&*!!!!!

Sabaree’s dad came to my rescue by pulling Prahalad for regular homework.

Innocence is bliss. I have experienced it with Prahalad’s inquisitiveness.

Ultimate google search

Published on October 13, 2006 in google, Humor and Just for Jolly. 0 Comments

Going through the logs for my website’s latest visitors, I was surprised to see that a person from Chennai has searched for Master of Catching Mosquito chennai in google . I don’t understand what this person was trying to search for. Is he trying to hire a person to banish all the mosquitoes which disrupt his sweet dreams? Weird!
This reminds me of a Sardar joke. Once a Sardar was sleeping like a log after a hard day’s work was disturbed very much by a mosquito. Sardar got frustrated and caught the mosquito in hand and started singing Soh jhaa machhar Soh jhaa . Mosquito slept in his hand and Sardar went near the mosquito and started making sounds like a mosquito goiiiiiiiin goiiiiiiiin . The mosquito woke up.

What’s the moral of this post?

Nothing. Remember, You are at karthickraghavan.com.

Funny cellular IVRs

Published on September 28, 2006 in Humor and Just for Jolly. 2 Comments

Tired of the default ” customer is not reachable ” or ” mobile switched off ” messages when trying to reach a cellular subscriber? How good it would be if there are custom funny messages which change according to the callers and subscriber’s moods. A bit of imagination…

A employee who comes to office late often does not turn up for two days. His angry manager tries to reach him on his mobile and hears the message, ” The employee you are trying to reach has switched another company with better perks and salary. Please try employing a fool later “.

A teacher tries to reach her truant student and hears the message “As the caller you are trying to reach is suffering from high fever, he cannot be reached at the moment. Please buy him a bottle of horlicks and grant him a month’s leave “.

A mom tries to reach her college kid and hears, ” the caller you are trying to reach is busy attending math sessions at college and has no plans of going to a movie and disco tonight “.

A PL tries to reach his TM to enquire about a project delivery which is due and hears, ” the software engineer you are trying to reach is busy playing Spider Solitaire, reading blogs and forwarding mails. Please try later “.

Have any funny messages? Pour in!
