I was in a meeting with some UK Nationals today and this Indian [North Indian to be more specific] was talking about the Indian market. This person goes on to mention which are the Tier one cities in India and includes Chennai in the tier two list along with Bhuvaneshwar, Chandigarh and Cochin. I was like, what the hell? Since when did Chennai become a tier two city? It is a metropolitan city, damn it. And what is this with the North Indians, they seeem to think India ends with Maharashtra. To them the south is never of significance except when they want to holiday in the beaches. Chennai is one of the most important cities in India in my viewpoint and contributes tons to the Indian economy.

Ignorance about your own country's resources is really sad. And to pretend that it is not significant is sadder.

Chamathu, anyone?

I never stick to my words. So here it goes: The Tamilian people can be classified into different categories. This classification is based on their character, virtues, educational qualification, skin colour, length of hair, size of nose...ok you now get the drift. I am only going to talk about one category at a time. Today is the one which people are scared of falling into, it is called the 'Chamathu' category. As you age, you might like being classified as 'Chamathu', but as a kid, it is a dreaded category. Ok now let me explain what 'Chamathu' is. Lets start with the guy, because I am a woman and would love to give the first chance to men :p A Chamathu guy is one who oils his hair regularly, recites his slokas at appropriate points of time during the day, makes earnest conversations with 80 year old thathas who spit more than they talk, goes to the temple regularly [Note: going to the temple everyday would make him a 'pazham*'], does not talk to girls u

What is this thing about men and sports? Why do they get all possessive about their love for sports? And finally why do they have such a big problem if women show some interest in any game? Two weeks ago I was at the eye doctor’s clinic in the evening. This was a time when people still believed that India could make it to the Super Eight. Bangladesh was playing against Sri Lanka that day. Since there was no television at the doctor’s clinic, I called up this guy friend of mine and asked him the score. This is how the conversation went- Me- hey wats the score? He- wat score? Me- today’s cricket match score, u fool He- India is not playing today Me- I know, I’m askin about the Bangladesh n Sri lanka match He- Wat? Y? Is there someone next to you and you are just showing off? ??????? Probably not all guys are like this but most of them are. Do they think its only a man’s territory? Do we get irritated when a man gets a facial? I jus don understand men!
