The Revenge

Mallu Harmony Day

I remember this year at me workplace when Racial Harmony day rolled around. The Boss decreed that he was sick and tired of the old cliched, "Oh, it's racial harmony. Let's all just wear other people's ethnic costumes and turn up for work. And then we'll gorge ourselves with other people's ethnic delights and pretend that we actually care".

So, he got us to like just sit in the conference room and we listened to some cool stuff. Basically, old festivals and supersititions and notions shown new light. I mean, I do know all I can about Chinese New Year already; we actually got educated on the Hungry Ghost's Festival and the nuances that follow it. Because we don't have any Muslims at the workplace [i know.. i know...], some bigot actually went up to give a presentation on Hari Raya and the significance of korban. But his fuckin lack of class and crass jokes about our Muslim brothers-in-arms justifiably got him boo-ed off the podium and a day of "Code Red".

So, anyhow, we're not the only nation where harmony along racial lines is so hawk-eyed watched over. Check this direct from Infy, Mangalore:





And after the clock struck 5 and he punched out, he was able to charge 5 dollars a pop to watch him dance. Now that's innovative. I feel at harmony already.

Castrol Corporate Rajinikanth

Don't say I hide all the good stuff away from all youse "sick of bookmarking this motherfuckin page" KLKlanites. Rajinikanth shows how inflation and recession is an Yindian problem TOO by selling out to the corporati. More importantly, if he DIDN'T, one massive law suit which is probably gonna get stuck in the courts for the next 5 years is going to ensure.

Either way we have a good mega serial.

What I really wanna say is: I'm back. Late-ah vanthaalum latest-ah varuvomlae.

O Level Chance ruined by Girl's Home

Do you recall this tale? Took the N's and did well and couldn't qualify for the Os for the sole sake that she didn't sit for her Tamil paper?

Read story HERE.

Concerned citizen wrote in to SINDA to see if there was anything that could be done to help the poor chica. Lo and behold, the wondrous organization that faithfully deducts 7 bucks off my pay check every month actually responded positively.

Their response through e-mail:

Dear Mr Ganesan,

Thanks for your mail.

We have liaised with MOE on this matter and MOE is putting up her case to

More importantly, if you think something is wrong. Go do something bout it. Don't sit on your tushy and hope for almighty God to lend a hand. There ARE government and quasi-government orgs that can solve or at least shine light on the issue at hand.

Adieu!
