Power Laugh 5 - Fictional

The time is 2:00 AM, I am on the verge of a deep sleep when the phone rings ...

Me : Hello
Iyer: Hello Rajesh? Hey naan dhandaa Balaji.
Me: Mmm. solludaa (with thooka kalakkam)
Iyer: Ennada sogamaa irukka.
Me: Dei, rathiri rendu mani daa.
Iyer: Enna daa poi sollara. Inga 1:30 madhiyanam. Velila vezhil adikudhu.
Yenda poi sollara.
Me: Illa daa Balaji. America la rathiri rendu mani daa.
Iyer: Pesa ishtam illeynaa, phonea vechudu.
Adhukaaga ippadi appattamaa poi pulugaadha.
Me: Nejamadaa.
Iyer: Slams the phone hard.

The next day Iyer calls back and says "I verified from my friends and they said that in America it is night when it is morning in India. How is it possible?"

Me: Dei, Earth rotate agum bodhu..."
Iyer: Ennadhu Earth rotate agudha. Yennada gunda thooki podara.
Sun and Moon dhaaney, Boomiya suthi varum?
Me: Illada.
Iyer: Ennadaa enakku edhuvum theriyaadhunnu kadha vidarayaa.
Me: Dei, Sun is stationary daa.
Iyer: Slams the phone.

Iyer is yet to call me back after that incident. If any of you happen to see him or talk to him, just let him know that I was not telling a lie. Also buy him some third standard Geography book. I shall reimburse.

We dint start the fire......

Yeah guys, i'm back after a long break to share some of our lovely star'ly experience. Oh Oh...the topic isnt matching....if that what you are thinking, i guess you are wrong.

Last saturday, as usual we all gathered in my house to have a ball. Ram was well ahead of time and happy as ever and had made no signs of going back to his house on the week end. Sottai and his friend Hulk subash were present. I was around with them and we were quietly having beers and pulling ram for some of his not so popular comedies.

Then came milli and yanu. After they decided to play carrom, ram was extremely thrilled. They played carrom all night and then the night or rather early morning came to a stant still.

The next morning milli noticed that our balcony walls were burnt and ashes were flying all over. We hadnt noticed this the day before as confirmed by sottai prasanna until 2 in the morning. The papers and rubbish in between the balcony walls were burnt and a lot of that stuffs had fallen into the house below making the entire place look miserable.

I wasnt up until after 12, so i am out of it. Prasanna and subash dint smoke after they went to sleep at 2. Milli and yanu dont smoke at all. The only left over in the gang had no choice but to agree.

He agreed that he smoked a cig at 3.00 in the morning BUT he doesnt agree that the fire was caused because of him. Maybe he lit the cig in rajinikanth style and threw over the match in the balcony OR as usual he smoked the cig and just dropped it in the ash tray without putting out the fire (he did this in my study table draw...can you believe it).....no one knows the truth, but we have a nicely burtnt balcony wall, which all you guys can take a look when you come home.

If you guys can get it out of his mouth, i'll be gratefull :).

But, blaming apart..... the idea here is not to blame anyone, but i am begining to feel how easy it is to bring about some accident like these, while we sleep without even knowing a thing about it.
I guess we guys should start taking things like this more seriously and exercise a bit more caution in your own homes and others home as well. Using gas stoves for instance, is risky when people are around and you forget to turn it off. Accidents like these can kill people, so lets be a bit more serious in what we do.

I'm not able to get this damn thing outta mind....have been having bad dreams as well.

Dr. Mookan BPT MS MBA

This was the closest someone from the Star Gang got to becoming a medical doctor. So although mookan is not a doctor technically, I took it on me and awarded him a honorary Dr. title. The next closest was Lawyer's short stint at Veterinary College before the Loyola college and Madras Law College which ended his search for the right degree.

This happened when Mookan was in the fifth year of his four year BPT degree course. For those of you who didn't know MBBS was a five year course. Our mookan did BPT for five years. Such was his ambition to become a doctor. I invited Mookan as a Doctor to have a look at my mom who had for sometime been complaining of acute leg pain. Mookan with his Aravind Swamy look obliged and quickly asked her to place the right leg on the teapoi and started investigating the areas of pain. He gently knocked on my mom's leg asking "Inga valikidha... inga valikidha" till he zeroed in on the right spot. He applied some pressure as my mom shouted in pain. Mookan got up.
I was anxiously waiting for Mookan's review of the situation thats when he shook his head as if to say "Engalaaala aana ellathiyum naanga pannitom. Inimeltu kadavul dhan kapathanum". But instead he patted my shoulders and said "Oru nalla Doctor ta kaatu". My mom laughed so much that her pain vanished.
Mookan is the best physiotherapist and laughter is the best medicine.
Now Mookan is in reckoning to become the next PT for the Indian Cricket team after John Gloster.
