Doc Vs Mechanic

A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon in his shop, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come to take a look at his car.The mechanic shouted across the garage,"Hello Doctor!! Please come over here for a minute."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic.The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this will work as a new one. So how come you get the big money, when you and me is doing basically the same work? "The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic.....He said: "Try to do it when the engine is running" !!

Beware of coconut trees !

Kitcha thatha's love for coconut trees lands him in trouble !

Some days ago kitcha thatha had noticed that his favourite coconut tree (the one that reaches the terrace) is leaning on the terrace in such a way that there is a dent created on its trunk. He felt bad for the tree and wanted to provide it some padding as protection from the terrace. While waiting for his favourite tamil serial (Enge Brahamanan) at 8pm in the night, he decided to check out the tree and explore the feasibility of a padding.

He went to the balcony with an old tyre, with the intention of using it as a good padding between the trunk and the terrace. So when the tree swayed in the breeze, he quickly inserted the rubber tyre in place.When the next breeze blew, the tyre fell down - Now he quickly tried to protect the tree and his fingers got stuck between the tree and the terrace - and was unable to get it out - he patiently waited for the next gust of wind to swing the tree away - and when this finally happened, he managed to extricate his fingers, but his middle finger was already bleeding and the other fingers had turned blue-black.

Pranav, the dutiful grandson, came to his rescue and rushed him to the hospital - where the doctors had to not only stop the bleeding but had to do some sutures on the middle finge, with local anaesthesia (on all the four fingers !) And in all this thatha was forced to miss his favourite serial !

Thatha is now recovering ... in good spirits and still looking forward to the actual implementation of the tree-protection program in the near future !

What else clicked

While Rachna's family had come to 214 for the formal fixture of the wedding plans, Lalli patti was at her 'connective' best !!! She had conducted the usual '20 Questions' game and in probably ten mins flat, had all the connections well figured out ! By the end of the session, the following connections had been firmly established :
1) The JP connection - Mathuma's friend JP and Rachna's aunt are cousins !

2) Lakshmi mami connection - Lakshmi mami's cousin and Rachna's mom are related !!

3) Here's the one that took the cake - the Sarama connection - (yes - the same German Shepherd of 214 ! ) To give you a background - Sarama was born to the dog owned by Sreesha and Rajashree (Sreesha was Baku's baseball friend and his sister Rajashree - Jana's collagemate. Sreesha and Rajashree happen to be the nephew and niece respy, of Mr.KN Srinivas (the architect who built Devi Paradise). Now, knowing that Rachna's father is an architect, Lalli patti promptly figured the architect connection and discovered that Mr.Srinivas and Rachna's dad are good friends - Hence the new connection came into effect - Sarama had come to the 214 family from Rachna's dad's good friend's house !!!

While to us, mere mortals, this seems like a miracle, the 'supercomputer' was busy computing all possible permutations and combinations and shooting off all the relevant questions. Until now I had always thought that patti's 'connective' best had been when she had met Harish (my cousin's batchmate from IIT) for the first time at our Delhi house, and in less than 10 questions had established the fact that Harish's athai and Lalli patti were 'marble-playing best friends' when they were 10 years old ! But the sarama connection now takes the lead !
So while Pranav was in a state of trance, patti had already done the needful and clinched the deal - the wedding bells had rung !!

PS- an honest confession - the author of this post had great difficulty in comprehending the depth of the connection (esp the sarama connection) and required a min of 3-4 repetitions from various sources, before comprehending it in its entirety and getting the details right ('connectively' challenged :( )

Introducing Pori Tapori Rachna

She wakes you up screaming...She wrecks your day and tells you how bad it's really going to be...She pokes fun at you, prods you and completely psyches you. And to top it all, she cracks her trademark 'worshtest Pjs'. And then she dares you to go live on air with her when she calls you’ goes Radio Mirchi’s campaign for its newest offering- ‘Pori Tapori Rachna’ on the new morning drive time show ‘Hi Bangalore’. And RJ Rachna is quintessentially all that.Rachna, who was born and brought up in Bangalore, worked for a regional television channel for five years after which she decided to try her hand at radio jockeying. And this decision has borne rich dividents. Today, Rachna is easily one of the most popular RJs in the city.

Natural choiceHaving been a motormouth in school, Rjing seems to have been a natural choice for her. Her confession about her dislike for the regular jobs which she terms as a monotonous affair justifies her description of her job. Says Rachna, “Rjing offers a platform for being creative, voice your opinion and throws a new challenge everyday.” According to her, there are not too many qualities that one requires to become an Rj. “One just needs to have a reasonably good voice, a fair command over language, the confidence to talk and justify what you are saying. You should be able to prove that a crow is white if you have made that claim.” Most importantly, you need to be yourself and definitely have a sense of humour,” is a point this popular RJ asserts. She agrees that Rjing is a more difficult task compared to veejaying and reasons that an Rj is expected to do more than just talking unlike in television where there is one person behind every aspect of prodution. Rachna also predicts an upward trend in the availability of job opportunities in the radio sector owing to the ever increasing number of radio stations. She feels that this growing number promotes a healthy competition which inturn promotes the urge to work more efficiently.Speaking about her job, Rachna refuses to believe that her job is hectic. “You treat the show as your own and that somehow brings with it a sense of responsibility. “You want to give it your everything to make it a success.” She admits that a lot of background work goes into making a single show as it is unforgiveable to goof-up when the entire city is listening to you.On Kannada music She expresses joy at the drastic improvement in the quality of Kannada music and partly attributes the change to the music of the hit film ‘Mungaru Male.’Shahrukh Khan is one person she would love to get on her show though that appears unlikely as Mirchi is a Kannada-based channel.Rachna has been working for Radio Mirchi for the past one-and-a -half years now and has thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ask her about her show and she quips enthusiastically, “‘Hi Bangalore’ is a fun show which is all laughter and no logic. Laughter is addictive and when you serve it on a platter, anyone will buy it.” Show timingsThe show which is aired between 7 am to 11 am from Monday to Saturday includes programmes like ‘Tapori Take’, ‘worshtest Pj’- an on-air classroom that teaches listeners one really bad joke, ‘PT Pada’- a daily dose of Kannada lingo, ‘PT Time’- a health tip a day focussing on food, exercise and more and ‘Horror Scope’- a funny take on horoscopes and faltoo predictions. Listeners also get an opportunity to co-host the show with her by paricipating in a contest. All in all, Rachna is as much fun as her show and the station she works for. Like in her words, “life is all about having fun at Mirchi.”

LIVE on TV

The founder of VSR Travels (yours truly) has now taken on one more key responsibility - as PR spokesperson (self-appointed) of the eldest daughter -in-law in the family - Mrs. Subha Vaidyanathan (since otherwise, all such news/events pass by, unannounced within the family) !

A few hours ago Subha Ma'am was LIVE on TV on Podigai for 1 hour ! And most of the family remained blissfully unaware - it all started when Rama had called her MIL and told her that "appa" had told her that Subha was LIVE on TV. Amma then remembered that the previous night Subha had lightly mumbled something about a TV program to her, but had completely forgotten about it the next morning. So she called appa and asked him why he didnt inform the rest of us about it and told only Rama. Appa was completely taken aback - he said it was three days since he spoke to anyone on the phone ! Rama had meant HER appa - but amma had assumed otherwise. So amma was reeling under this confused state and finally sat down and proudly watched her D-I-L LIVE on TV !

Ma'am spoke for an hour, about Dyslexia , and that too in chaste Tamil !! Her niece (Vasu) was completely awestruck by her mami's eloquence in Tamil! Ma'am's hubby got to know about this much later and was completely bewildered as to how come he was not in the loop at all - I guess Ma'am has decided to leave it to the media, to do the talking (about her work. Its still remains a mystery as to was his informant, since the entire operation was a pretty closely-guarded secret !
