My first Novel Attempt

One of my wish when I started this blog was to write a story, actually a novel that runs into several chapters. After long thinking sessions, I have come up with a theme and a good story out of it. This story will have most of the elements of a novel like Senti, Romance, Horror, etc.

Planning to post one chapter a day. As of now I do not know how many chapters this novel will run to, as this is my first attempt in writing such a big story.

I request all the 1 million readers & visitors of my blog(!?!?!?... too much da… ithu unakke over-a theriya???) to read the chapters regularly and provide your comments then and there.

And so in my next post my first Novel "In a Different World..." starts... Be ready to receive it...

NOTE(Nov 12, 2010): Due to un-avoidable reasons, novel attempt is post-poned for the time being.

How to identify a newly married Guy...

Having written about Girls, now its time to write about newly married Guys, just to maintain the balance:

(1) Bracelets... Most of the guys wear this on the day of their marriage for the first time in their life. If a Guy appears with new bracelet, chain and rings(probably on both the hands), for sure, he is a newly married guy.

(2) Wrist Watch... I wonder when this tradition came in. Definitely the in-laws will get a new watch for the Guy. And some Guys protect this watch more than the Girl they married. In earlier days, the Guys should have got a good HMT winding watch. A couple of years back, a good Titan watch used to be the standard and normally it will be a Gold colored one. But things have changed now... I was surprised to find that the cost of the watches got for the Guy runs to several thousands of rupees, and sometimes several tens of thousands. And those watches have all the features that you can think of. It has a thermomter, pressure meter, altimeter, speedometer, ammeter, voltometer, tachometer, auto-meter, taxi-meter and any other meter that you can think of :). I even have a doubt that the father-in-law sometimes even set a small chip with a transmitter in the watch, which keeps sending signals and messages to him through which he spies his son-in-law(Proof will be provided on request). I have 2 questions related to this:

-1- Why only analog watches(watches with hands) are given? Why digital watches which can accomodate even more features are not given???

-2- In this electronic age, where every gadget shows time, why still wrist watches are given to the Guy. Why not an i-pod, or i-phone, or a ultra-modern mobile phone???

(3) Coat & Suit... The guy will get have a coat&suit (probably the first one in his life and the only one for many in their life).

(4) He will always be roaming around with a foolish smile...

(5) These days the Guy gets a bike during marriage itself. His old, if he ever has one can be exchanged for perichambalam (dates). Most of the father-in-laws hand over this bike with a the condition that the pillion should always be reserved for his daughter... And the transmitter in the wrist watch will send a message to him, if he ever happens to dis-obey this request(or order).

(6) The Girl... Wherever he goes, a new girl will be accompanying him. He will be happy and proud to have such a company. As time passes, time will teach him, that this company is the source for most of the troubles in his life...

Disci: Readers are advised not to get serious about the points listed above, especially point (6)...

How to identify a newly married Girl...

How to identify a newly married girl (applies mostly to south Indian girls only):

(1) Whatever be her original skin complextion, now it will be yellow with due to the turmeric paste that was applied during the marriage.
(2) In addition to the normal bindi she normally has, there will be an additional red turmeric bindi on top of the forehead. I guess this is a newly adopted culture from north India and I doubt whether my grandmother or my mother ever wore such a bindi.
(3) She will be a bit more fat, and continue to grow fatter exponentaially for the rest of her life from the day of marriage.
(4) Sometimes people will mistake her for a Model doll kept in the showcases of the Jewelery shops due to the quintals of Golden Jewels that she will be wearing.
(5) She will be wearing a mangal sutra. (I brought this point to the last position, since these days Girls sometimes dont wear it (or) dont wear it when they go for work (or) they conceal it when they go for work.)

Thats all I can think of. More are welcome in the comments...

Engagement means Endless phone calls... part (2)

Hmmm... Nothing great... One of my colleague got engaged recently. Contrary to normal engagers, I never found him with a mobile phone stuck on his ear. And no other feature which I have normally seen among people who got engaged. Unable to resist the temptation, I many times thought of asking why he is like this... But since I felt that that might be a intrusion into his privacy, I didnt ask.
But it made me understand that there are still some engaged couples who are never like what is written in this title of this article...
