god has now come to 'sree veeraraaghava perumal thirukkovil'... We are darshaning...

huge crowd has gathered a lot now... Still god has not come...

huge crowd has gathered a lot now... Still god has not come...

hundi has come... God will follow in some time... We have prepared the diya for puja...

my cousin Ramesh L Geddi has come from paramakudi which is 75 km away... My in-laws who are within the city are yet to arrive...

we are now sitting in a mandabam near vandiyur perumal kovil... Soorya already slept in sasi's lap...

i see a little crowd, 23 balloon vendors, 51 sugar candy vendors and 163 beggars... I think we neared the temple...

govt cleaners are tidying up the roads... People will be getting ready by now to dirty up for the whole of today, in entire madurai...

tea stalls r filled with people, t/coffee, news paper and gossips... btw, SURA is going to be released tomorrow...

i declared that i will not take bath this early, that too in cold water... my mom declared that i will not be provided breakfast... I bathed and now sitting in auto...

we got up today by 5 am... We got ready and now in auto, towards river for soorya's tonsure function...

NURAI (kavidhai) shampoo pottaa thalayil varuvadhu; paambhu pottaa vaayil varuvadhu...

i reached home... Mom and dad yet to arrive... So sitting outside the gate... On compound wall...

dropped sasi, soorya and shri shri mother-in-law the great @ their home and travelling towards my home in auto-rickshaw...

we purchased 2 sets of dress for soorya... Then we had dinner @ 'modern restaurant', one of the oldest restaurant in that area... (what an oxymoron?!!!)

now we have moved to 'kishkintha' ready made shop for babies... Purchasing a dress set for soorya's tonsure ceremony to be held day-after-tomorrow...

i'm surprised... Sasi managed to get a woollen bag, a plastic bag, a plastic box and 2 plastic fans from the jewel shop, for free...

oh my god... Now they r fighting for the small plastic jewel box... And free purses...

they reduced the wastage from 21% to 16% They also reduced the making charges from 200 to 150 rupees... Total cost is Rs. 4800... Operation 'golden ear' is a success...

if the shop ppl are sure that u r going to buy, they will come and ask for a refreshment - tea/coffee/juice/cooldrink... I prefer a saridon...

they have selected a 2.5 gram ear ring... With a small whitish purple stone... Now they are bargaining on the rate... Its a ritual to bargain on rates... Whatever it may be... Paper or aeroplane...

they have zeroed in on two ear rings... Hope they will select among these two in next 20 min...

all izz well... all izz well... all izz well... ...

they are showing me on CCTV... that too LIVE... i should become famous anytime now...

gold is sold @ rs. 1584/gram today in madurai... The gang is planning an ear ring for around 2.5 grams...

soorya, my son... Ur dad is drained of his financial property... Its high time u wake up and make a ruckus... We all can go home then...

we r now in 'thanga mayil jewellery'... soorya is still sleeping unaware of the happenings around...

alas... They selected nothing here... We r moving to another store...

'cigar makes man look manly' = 'golden jewel makes women look beautiful'

ECSTASY: A feeling you feel when you feel that you are going to feel a feeling which you have never felt before. Anyone dare to object?

that MRF blimp will be given to Man of the Match of IPL3... he has to keep it floating above his house till he can hand it over to Man of the Match of IPL4... it will serve as rolling trophy... Relax... Just a rumour...

second class local is much more congested... but i always get to squeeze in some seat... maybe its because i'm thin???!!!

after repeated attempts, soorya today finally broke the remote of the dish tv... you should have seen his victory smile...

everybody sweating equally in this hot weather, especially in mumbai local... is this called 'sweat equity'???!!! mba and finance grads pls explain...

debate with an intellectual... u'll always win... but if u debate with an ignorant moron, u'll always lose...

i asked for a coffee a few min ago... in return i was scolded and asked to shut-up... Who scolded me??? Come on man, i am married... Who else it could be?

SURA promo ad is relayed in tv... the song is going to be a hit... Soorya is watching it religiously... Every time...
