Mah 1st Week in chennai!
wassup... my faarst blog in the land of tsunami. many ppl call it many things but i get to call it home. had a good experience in my stay here and am continuing to learn new things. some of the things i noticed/expirienced in my first week are:
1. The love for the colour GREEN. i mean damn this city is filled with that color. not that it exists anywhere else or anythin but here its just being used like therez no other color. the buses are green, the interior of the bus is green, the railings r green, the fukkin flyovers are green, the shop hoardings are green, the ppl dress in green, the houses are green, almost everything is green here.
2. the love for the colour YELLOW. if its not green, then its yellow. the autos are yellow, the hoardings r in yellow, the bus number plates r in yellow, the sign boards are yellow etc.
3. RED is MAROON.
4. ORANGE is MAGENTA.
5. Actors and actresses are worshipped and ppl consider them beyond god. u cant notice a street without a hero/heroin pic in it.
6. if its not the actors thingee, then the fat woman's cutout stands proud there in everystreet. lucky i recognised her and dint ask if it was an ad for VLCC or somethin.
7. u sweat thru the day irrespective of watever u do. i mean i used to freeze my balls off after 6 in blore. now i feel like i m in a steam bath r somethin. gone case it iz.
8. u can be eaten alive by mosquitoes. its a proved theory.
9. u r considered a wierdo if u say hi to the ppl u recognise.
10. talkin to a gal is considered prestigious. leads to a lot of talk when u aint arnd.
11. if u travel for abt 15 kms or somethin, u r still in the same part of the city r somethin. in bangalore, 15 kms from any direction would take u to the highway.
12. things r so early here. city wakes up at 5 am and goes off to sleep by 9. if u want to eat dinner at 10ish, cook at home.
13. u have to be an billionare to travel in an auto here.
lemme stop at 13 now. :D
this mornin, i saw somethin that made me think of karnataka again. when i was travellin in the bus, i saw a flower in the middle of the main drain. guess wat i thought huh huh?
the drainage is called "Kuvam" and flower is called "Poo" in Tamil. so i assosiated those two and made of "kuvempu". chindi na. JAI KARNATAKA. :p

Moonspell
You're Moonspell! You have a very weird style of singing, but people are intrigued by you. Your music is like a drug, and everyone wants to buy it after they've tried it a few times. People can never get over how strange your music is, and that's why you're well liked.

Its still early ... join the Tamil movie industry and become a star. Rajnikant is gettin too old and the time is ripe for an actor/comedian. Thanks to your sex appeal I am sure you will be a hit. Soon we will all see cut outs of you in and around Chennai ... that will be the day!
You have already half cracked that nut house where having no sweat glands make you King, dont give up now.
14) The flower selling kiddos at the beaches, who'd abuse u real bad if you dont buy stuff from them
15) the super expensive autos and the HOURS of arguing before you can get into one.
16) The zillion sari and jewellery stores
17) The women screaming in the buses, construction sites, water queues, in the hostel kitchen... EVERYWHERE!!!
But then, it has beach. And blore doesnt :(
@bluflag: dead poet??? i m startin to worship the cutouts as well. i m changin my name to trisha's pet slave. :p (OMG that female sux ass. want to kill her a.s.a.p)
@anon: good call. ill become an actor. wear of full on chamki clothes and run off. then u ppl can come watch 1st day 1st show of my movie. u can see me dance, fight and give comedy scenes in the same movie. since the story writer cannot write too much of dialogue, i ll cover the movie with moving sumos and explosions all over. major hit its gonna be.
@psyche: i covered pt 15 in pt 13 onlee. i thought of mentionin the women in bus and other places. slipped my mind. very true. damn ppl. but the beach roxx. i went to this kuppam beach last evenin. rocked. was clean (dunno y the name).
@loonie: ya p much lovin it here. but the funny part is since i m busy the whole day, i dont have time to sit n think abt it. actually the place aint bad at all. chennai has like everythin to enjoi. too bad the ppl hre dont live up to wat the city offers. makin full on use of it though.
There is a stinky river in Egmore caled Buckhingam Canal. Do check it out if you ever wanna stock up on those toxins. Just standung near it will bleach every hair on your body orange.
But the roads are widea dn traffic well behaved. I liked the city. It sort of grows on you :)

I have been there like ONCE. And that ONCE gave me the visa to USA. So, I can't say I don't like it. the beach fukin rocks though. But I hate the smell in and around the railway station. Apparently, all the shit of chennai passes from nearby. Oh well...good luck and all. and of course, nice blog. Visit my jampad sometime.
rOcKoN!
When Loonie says people are "Stange" it sounds kinda right. I mean doesnt it sound like a word for "Strange stench" ... I bet Dalda smells kinda stange at the moment. :)
Of course there should be no reason why I should be smelling Dalda ... eh ... Fuk ... glad I am anonymous :P
yappa! dalda, you have bcome me when i was in chennai! i was considered a hippie coz i smoked and wore jeans to work adn a scarf on my head coz of the heat. i was working for the hindu in may. can you beat the heat and scary uncle/aunty characters? yuckkk!
@silverluu: ya da the city is good and it grows on u like a creeper. therez loads of untapped resources for hanging out. all of u shift off from blore nyways. we shall have fun here.
@drpissee: jai jai.
@anon: i guess its u wally, biatch! super idea bro. smell me and get me a Deo. :p
@ladypara: super ya. smokey life. one of my friend smokes here and every1 were lookin at her in a wierd way then went arnd tellin ushoo ushoo. luckie that i dont work in place full off uncluus and aunties. would have drove them crazy.
Well, yeah, Chennai was never known for its sophistication. But I wonder why the Hi-Fi Tech City, Bangalore is under curfew just because some actor died yesterday. And no, he wasn't 30, he was 78. Surprising, eh?
