Obama in Maraimalai Nagar

Had been on a visit to Maraimalai Nagar recently. Saw a shop named

"OBAMA OUTFITTERS"

Another Thought:

If the US President starts a military housing colony, what will he name it?

Obama's Barracks

Language Barriers

M.K.Stalin has urged the people of Tamil communities to keep their children's name in Tamil.
So, the names of Tamil children can either be Marat/Marimuthu from now on, but not Monish !!!

Absent Minded

I've been getting extremely absent minded of late. Too much preoccupation . Been to two shops recently and found the shopkeepers running after me asking to make their payment.

In India there is a practice, when the 2-wheelers' indicators don't work/exist, we normally raise our arms and show whether we want to go left/right. Today, I was walking back home from the bus stop when I had to cross the road. So, promptly I raised my arms and indicated that I wanted to go right. Only after a few baffled onlookers stared at me did I realize I was not on a 2-wheeler.

Ode to an Indian

Was reading this article by Rob Steen on the spate of retirements in international cricket. I was, am, will be an unabashed fan of Sachin Tendulkar. Reading such articles really sum up the endurance of the great man. I know this post serves no purpose to anyone. But I want to keep coming back to ensure I will never ever forget one of the greatest influences of my childhood.
