Aadi is Coming!

Here is coming the season of Aadi.. The mega sale season. This is the period when all Shopping streets in chennai becomes colorful with massive discount announcements over all kind of items A to Z. And with such attractive discounts one cannot stop the temptation of creating a shopping list and making full use of the weekends.

Added to my shopping list this Aadi
1. Fancy Cotton Sarees - 2
2. Cotton Churidhars - 5
3. LCD TV
4. Bedcovers
5. Curtains
6. New set of Pillows

But with this great season comes a problem for one specific community of people called "newly married" and girl's parents. Now why is that because, its a tradition in all tamil communities to separate the newly weds and send the girl back to her maternal home town to live with their parents. Added with this comes an indirect Dowry system to give varisai to the girl with some pounds of gold plus plus many other items which could swallow not less than a 20K easily. Now why I am telling this at this time is, because I am also in the same community of newly married groups. And my parents are the through the same phase. Leaving the varisai part apart! living away from the spouse, when you are just married, is such an insane thing. Now there is another big problem if the girl is working and her hometown is far away from her working place. Affording a month's leave is not such an easy thing. Forget a month, its so difficult to get even a week's vacation when you are in IT. Now the question is to how to keep the girl away. Such a big confusion is running over at my home. I suggested them that i will stay at my friend's home, but they are not ready to make me stay there. Now another option is to stay with my sister at her congested women's hostel which is worser than living in a doghouse. That hostel is good for her because, she doesn't stay there all time, it would be just 2 to 3 days in a week that she goes there, otherwise she always keeps moving between friends places(She has a big circle of near and dear friends). With all these confusions next week my parents are coming to take me home. I am thinking of commuting all the way from my hometown kancheepuram to my office on OMR. Lets see how it goes. Any suggestions are most welcome.

P.S. Heard from my inlaws that more than keeping the girl and guy away, more important is to not let the girl see her mother in law. That makes me rofls.

My first Post

This is my first post on blogspot, though I am blogging on my company's internal blogging site and rediff blog site. People move on to where there is more crowd, like how we ignore the shops around our town and go to dishydashy crowds of Renganadhan street, like how I moved from my beautiful large home in my village to a small house hidden inside the n number of turns and twists in the concrete jungle of Chennai. Now if you stumbled on this post accidentally , then a thanks to you and if someone introduced you this, then it is a big surprise for me. Now I am starting my blog site not with the intention to become a famous blogger, but this is yet another poor soul, who wants to dispose all that feelings good or bad to a place where people sometimes hear and dropby to scold/shout/appreciate/or just plainly comment. Blog is such a nice space.

Here is a self Welcome.
Welcome Revathy!!!
