Congrats to Sachin on his 100th century.
Being fans of this incredible athlete, we can celebrate this. For some he is even God!
But who the hell are we to tell him to retire?
So dear Sachin fans, if all of you are so good at what you all do. Why don’t you just quit and sit at home?
I could feel her heart beat. It was racing up. Her breathing became heavier with each passing moment. She held me tight and squeezed her against me.
Inching closer, i felt her lips against mine. I slipped into sweet seduction.
Ok period! This post is not meant to be of any pornographic value. The intend of this post is to announce my engagement on my blog. 
Well, apparently after reading the title and then the first two lines, someone might have got a heart attack and as i’m typing this i’m laughing out loud. Yes the repercussions of this post will be quite sour, but i like the 10sec fun at times. No its not my fiance whom i’m fearing (i’ll fear her post engagement), but its her mother. Yes my Mother-in-law
Well she apparently goes through my blog and makes it a point that she reads my twitter feeds too. So this was my way of telling her – “This is me Jerry and i’ll be marrying your daughter 
!!!”. Oh, i can so visualize her in my mind right now. The phone at my home ringing, my folks coming to know about the post and they reading it and it all adding up to the visits on my site.
The what the heck is the title about? Well i’m losing my bachelorhood and that is almost as equivalent my virginity. Have been carefree, lived by my own terms, raced my bike on roads, went on late night drives, partied all night, slept through the day. No one to ask why? No one to ask where? But now its all changing. Isn’t that an important phase. I bet!. I will be stepping into responsibilities (yikes!!!) and relations(yawn!!) and have to keep’em all my life. But to tell ya, its a good feeling. Trust me, you should give it a try. But dont blame me if u crash and burn.
Now the details. kindly read the F.A.Qs and if that doesnt answer the questions post your query in the comments and i will reply to it.
Kindly note that questions like “Did you tell her about the night that you sneaked into your ex-girlfriends bedroom and kissed her for the first time?” will be promptly deleted and wont see the light ever again. Though the answer to that will be “No!” . What! You want me to get myself killed or what? Stan , i guess you get the point!!!

There is no point in me saying – ‘most part of my life i have been a mallu’. It doesnt really make any sense. I’m a mallu and i’m damn proud of it. But over the last 4 years i have stayed more in the garden city (Bangalore, you jack-ass!!!), than at my home town Kayamkulam (we proudly say that we are from the place of Kerala’s most famed highwayman Kayamkulam Kochunni). So now i’m not a Kannadiga (yet), but has been away from home for quite long enough to notice the subtle things about my place, that i wouldnt have noticed otherwise.
1. The Beef Curry – If you are in Kerala, just drop into any of the road side hotels (as with all places, just look at the cleanliness part a bit before you settle down), order yourslef a plat of beef-curry or beef-fry with porota. Its one of the best combination of food and if have made the choice of place correct then 4 porota and a plate of hot beef-curry wont cost you more than 50bucks
2. Guys on bike – Ok here i’m talking about guys between 20-25 years. These jackasses dont know how to ride a bike and if i was here i would have ended up just like them. They start the bike, both feet are off the ground and its 10secs of front-wheel wobbling before they pick up speed and then later their balance. If anything fails in between then back to square one. They have been the biggest headache for me while driving.
3. KSRTC SuperFast Buses – The only thing red in the place other than the menacing CPM politicos are the state run public transport buses – The KSRTC. Starting their fleet from Ordinary, Ordinary Fast, Venad (white and blue), Limited Stop, Fast Passenger, Limited Stop Fast Passenger, Super Fast, Super Express (green in color) and the luxury Volvo (white). The best in line i say are the Super Fast buses. People prefer them for journey that lasts up to 6hrs because the buses make their own rules and the drivers, at any given point, are trying to do an F1 qualifier.
4. Auto Drivers in Trivandrum and Alappey – The best auto drivers are from Kozhikodu. That i dont know. But from what i know the best auto drivers are from Trivandrum and Alappey, they might ask for more, but ask them to go via meter, most of them will kindly oblige.
5. The choice of news – We prefer the local news of murder/rape/smuggling/hawala/suicide/accident/bribery/raid more than what goes on with the nation. I said we ‘prefer’, just that other news takes a backseat. We still have time to discuss about other things after we are done with the daily news analysis. After the Paul-Murder that filled the news, Sex-racket in Cochin is gaining momentum. And if not that then we will find something else.
6. Public Holidays, Celebrations and Hartal – Someone banned ‘bandh’ couple of years back and ever since its ‘hartal’ for everything. Last year my mom told me that there were 52 un-official holidays, thanks to the hartals. Hartals are treated a bit differently. The whole family is together, some good movie will be aired on tv, so it basically ends up having a semi-festive feeling about it. Hinduism, Christianity and Islam 3 major religions and hence we have 3 major festive seasons – Onam, Christam and Ramzan. Hinduism is not strict like its outside the state. The fact that has been proved with almost everyone having Beef (the meat of cow tastes better than the ox 
)
and i love it in here …
The very first twestival that took place in Bangalore was for the cause – ‘clean and safe drinking water’. Unlike other charity events where you have to bid for some boring piece of art or just buy the tickets to attend something that wasn’t of any interest for you and the only reason for you to do all that was a cause, the twestival is different. Its fun and it makes you feel good for what you did.
The last time it was for a global cause but this time its, lets put it this way, for a more localized cause. This Bangalore twestival 09 is to help organize funds for DreamADream. So whats DreamADream?
Founded in 1999, Dream A Dream is a registered charitable trust which seeks to empower children from vulnerable backgrounds by developing life skills and at the same time sensitizing the community through active volunteering leading to a non-discriminatory society where unique differences are appreciated. Currently, we enhance the lives of 1500 children from vulnerable backgrounds and engage over 1000 active Volunteers who represent an increasingly sensitive community.
So getting on with the details for the event –
When - Saturday – 12th September, 2009
Where - Kyra Theatre, Bangalore
Time - 12:30 – 4:30pm
Full Address - Kyra, 2001, Katti-ma Centre, Above Adidas Showroom, 100 feet road, Indiranagar, Bangalore
The question now is, what is happening in 4 hrs?
Just that … oh no!!! apart from that there will be free beer from Kingfisher for everyone ..
So join in … Join in for the Cause with fun or Fun with a cause
Off late there has been a lot of reports, both via the main stream media as well as blogs, about the increasing number of attacks on women. So i decided to do an RCA (Root Cause Analysis) of the situation myself. Basically i wanted to find answer to these questions -
As far what i read in the news papers and what i heard from others discussing, these attacks were orchestrated by people who say they are supporting the ‘Indian Culture‘. They call them selves as the conservators of Indian Culture. The good Samaritans who resorted to a quick resolution of the problem, attacked the women to save the Indian Culture form getting westernized, the same evil forces from which the Mahatma delivered us (they might argue so)
Hence we have our Problem Statement as : The Attack was to preserve/conserve the Indian Culture.
Analysis:
Now that we have defined the problem statment, lets looks at the analysis. Lets define what happened, what were the public reactions like.
The people who attacked women in Mangalore, Bangalore, Mysore (???), some-other-’ore’ etc. ( lets refer them for the time being as SenaPpl), just couldn’t digest the fact that the bharatiya naari (Indian Woman) dressed in jeans and T-s. Plus the fact that they were dining at a lounge, crossing-the road, waiting for a bus or even minding-their-on-business when they where attacked.
The people who were attacked (we will refer them as Victims), were teenagers and techies. The Victims all had one thing in common, they were wearing western clothes – jeans, t-s, skirts etc. If you might notice the attacks were not on women who were wearing saree/salwar/any authentic Indian dress. The SenaPpl were all men. There were no incidends of women attacking men or women attacking women. It was the XY chromosomes attacking the XX Chromosomes.
