If you are not aware of the controversy in India about the Ramar Bridge, (or Ramar bandan or adam bridge or sethu samudhra project as different parties want to call it), please go back to sleep and I will wake you after the rest of the winter is over.
There is enough serious debate with people's tongues and heads at stake. I just want to compile here some of the acute observations from our esteemed politicians.
Subramaniam Swami: If at all Karunanidhi is supporting someone, he should be supporting Rama and not Ravana. Because Ravana is Brahmin and Rama is Kshatriya!
Dude, If I understand Karunanidhi right, he is telling there is no Rama or Ravana, if a person does not exist, his caste does not matter.
Karunanidhi: People claim Rama build this bridge. I want to know which engineering school he went to.
Ramagopalan: Karunanidhi is going around telling people he built 18 over head bridges in Chennai. Which engineering school did he go to?
Tirumavalavan - (in a meeting reiterating Rama is fiction): Rama killed Ravana who is a Tamil king. We should destroy the bridge because it is a mark of shame for us Tamils.
Dude, Whose side are you on? You are supposed to be telling people Rama did not exist. How did a fictional character kill a Tamil king.
BJP is planning nationwide stir on Ramar Sethu
What is so funny about it? They approved parts of the project in 2001-2002!!!

Vishwa
Vishwanathan is the center of attraction these days. It is incredible how soon he has earned the love and respect of our gang and has become a part of our plans.
He definitely looks intelligent. I have asked Sai to to teach him MS Excel and take some load off us. It does sound selfish of me if you put it that way. But he is a cool guy like me and I like bonding with him. I am planning to take him to the city when he visits the Bay area and we are going to wear neon blue jerseys and metal chains and go bar hopping. Either that or spend some quality time together in Napa.
Sai told me Tabrez is planning to ask Vishwa to go with him on the European tour and not to be left out, Ramki is calling him the V-dog and promising him some interesting night life.
What is cool about Vishwa is, all this does not get to his head. He always has this sweet smile and does not respond much to all this worship. I know this is a combination girls will die for. Priya says his lips are like a cowboy hat and that is so cute. (Some one explain me how hat-like lips are cute) and she wants to go for long strolls with him holding his hands.
Of course, not all response is positive. Ramya thinks he is too clumsy and messy and is too dependent on on others. But that is nothing unusual coming from Ramya - I personally think she is a orderliness freak. Can't blame her too. She is the one changing diapers for Vishwa all day.

Pleasure of beep beep beep...
I spent half a day scanning. No - not the progressive scanning of data sets or the body scan in airports- just plain simple scanning of barcode. You know the beep beep beeps.
This job is incredibly satisfying. It does not involve coordinating the calendars of eight people, I do not have to drill down the pros and cons of scanning or get the buy-in before scanning the next item, (and before scanning the item after that) and I dont have to agonize myself about telling people how rotten their idea is, and where they should shove it - without using the word rotten or shove... and with the word like:) Just the pure simple pleasure of hearing the beep beep beep.
As jobs go, this one is incredibly rewarding and feedback cycle is unbelieavable. All I need is a reassuring beep to say, 'Yes. That is another task executed well... now lets move on to the next one.
A couple of hours of this and I would have applied for a position in Wal-Mart. But it was too good to last. I was fired from the job for being too slow :(
