Intertemporally Yours

Been getting tons of emails and the site counter has been zooming along famously. Long lost friends have been mailing in. But amidst that I again got a few mails/comments from people who said the post was trash and had factual errors and belittled northies. The Customer, alas, is king. So I confess everything. Yes dear world, I was trying to be funny, yes yes I got the castes of some of the names wrong. Yes in Tamil it is an “appalam” and not “poppadom”. Yes, I was trying to bring a little joy and cheer into the world. Yes (sob sob) yes I was exaggerating the truth, noone would throw their children off a window after naming them. DEAR WORLD I HAVE SINNED!!!

So shoot me.

(P.S. Currently working on a post on success in the workplace for new recruits and first time employees. I am trying to cut down the humour and bring it more true to life. It wil be co-written by a close personal associate, Miss Pinky, a ballet dancing elephant from Jhumri Thalaiyya. She is very good at reality checks.)

    The amount of mails that the post in question has generated is awesome. Mes part of numerous groups where I hv seen this being forwarded. I was obviously curious to know who wrote it and now I know :) Let me assure you that being completely oblivious of the nuances in question, I found it enjoyable. I am by your definition a northie and I think that while u were kinda broad in ur categorisation of us all, must say that the article was a good read! ciao

    You cut the humor out and I'll cut your balls off.

    What the? Poppodums or Appalams, as long as they crackle and crunch in our mouths machaan.
    (Pappadam, btw, isn't it, in mallu tongue)

    Anyways dude. Thanks for that post. I havent laughed as much since I dont know when. Oh BTW - My site traffic went up since the day I linked to the entry? Co-incidence maybe?



    Thanks

    Oh BTW - No, Indonesia doesnt have a thing for fat mallus. But I know one set of people who do. (This is the other fat mallu)
