I have been bad mouthing “Slumdog Millionaire”. Maybe it is an amazing movie. Maybe the music is great. Yeah so many maybes. But you know what I liked the most, the song at the end of the movie. That’s what a film about India should be like. Why do they wanna make an Indian movie without songs and dance sequences.

I hope Rahman does not get an Oscar for this one. Yeah, right I hope he does not. This is not his best work. I am still wondering how these things get selected for all these awards. And Those questions Anil Kapoor asks on the show are so simple. All 20 of them

Earlier yesterday I was watching NDTV news and they actually had a video of two policemen beating up a POOR 5 year old girl for stealing. Now will she get a shot at being a millionaire or did she already get her 15 minutes. How does it matter if she was poor. So many 5 year olds get beaten up everyday in this country!!!

Someone told me “Nothing sells like Poverty, No Nothing at all.” I am starting to believe it. And about the Title for this post. I think everyone is getting richer everyday. It all depends on where you are in the Social Chain. Be Happy and get Rich with Poverty!!!

As the day ends I have looked back at the past and looked into my life. It has been a bumpy ride. Real bumpy one. But I have taken risks gone against what people have told me to do and I have survived. Oh Sorry I was just shitting you with a bunch of nonsense.

Morning arrived by Chennai Mail from Mumbai. The Mail Trains in our Country are the worst things to travel by. They like stop whenever somone asks them to stop at a station(I am glad it is only at stations) So Yeah I reached Chennai at a decent hour this morning. (0500hrs is absolutely a decent time). Oh Yeah I was in Mumbai on work and I got to attend Blog Camp Mumbai. Met some interesting Bloggers from Mumbai. Anyhoo as any decent Indian would do I did invite them for our meetsin Chennai. Who knows they might even join us.

Anyways, there is so much hype about Obamas swearing in which happened in Washington and the Pied Piper of Mandaveli wanted to know who the Vice President of India was? And smart fella I am told him it is Kalignar Karunanidhi. (The greatest Staesman of our Times) Apparently he says I have won an all expenses paid trip to the Carribean. Maybe I should be living in a chilled out country like the Jamaica. I find India and Indians too hot to handle.

Anyhoo I am the thinking Blogcamp should be an initiative by just the bloggers and corporates should not be brought in as sponsors thats exactly what I told the organizers at Blog Camp Mumbai. When you put someone like me inside Microsofts office in Mumbai with an event sponsored by Ibibo(They apparently paid for the Pizzas) I don’t feel very comfortable and Microsoft has corporate policy. Which is you can’t take cameras inside their office.

Well, My dear policy makers @ Microsoft do remember that I fucking hate you guys. I think you have shitty security because there were people who got cameras inside and took photographs too.I hope you guys have a good security policy and a better security officer in place.

Mumbai is a place with so much happening while  was there and I find Mumbai bloggers to be very focussed and they seem to be on the right track unlike me who has nothing to say except for ranting out and shouting out at the world.

But Yeah I am so glad to be back home. More snippets from Mumbai coming soon.

Have been excited about the food walk happening on the 10th. Just wondering if there will be anyone who will get that plate of mollaga Bajjis. Anyhow after a long meeting today (no there will not be any specifics about the meeting) a few friends and me decided to go drink some coffee and maybe eat something. The closest Coffee day was the one in Purasawalkkam. Cafe Coffe day Purasawalkkkam was were I used to frequent before I joined FindNearYou.com NO one disturbs you and Ganesh the guy who works the evening shifts would just keep refilling espressos. Some good memories there.

So a visit to CCD today was NICE!!! Ordered some Sandwiches polished them off in minutes. It would have made the Earl of Sandwich proud.(Don’t ask me how!!!) So my greedy stomach wanted to have some more to eat. So we called this guy who serves us there and I asked for a Sandwich while another friend asked for a Wrap. (How do they come up with such names for food) 

The guy who should have taken the order, simply said “Sorry Sir, There is just one piece left” I was like “So what’s the problem?” and he says “No Sir if that part of the food display counter is empty, our manager would be a very unhappy man and might even take me to task” I was dumbstruck to even say anything. Must be one helluva DUMB Stupid Moron Manager. Why would I not wanna sell what I have? I am clueless at the moment. if anyone from the Cafe Coffee Day Management or CCD enthusiasts wanna answer ‘why someone would have a standing order like that?’ Please lemme know my mind wants to know.

Well, I was wondering how I love to eat so much food? I am just fattening by the day and the Doctors have threatened that I will have all kinds of diseases and die a dreadful death. But I really give two shits about what doctors say. (I think I am like a grandfather of mine. He really did not bother about what doctors told him.) If something tastes and smells good it should be tasted first and if you don’t die immediately you should savour and eat lots of it.

Anyways while we were at the last Blogoholics Meet (6th one to be precise) We found that all of us loved to eat not the Chips made by an MNC or the drinks which are nothing but sugared water. We loved what Vasant Govind got for us. Udacha Kadalai Muttai does not have an equivalent in English and it is an awesome snack.

Anyhow since a few people wanted to go eat street food we @ Blogoholics Anonymous decided to have a Blogoholics Anonymous Food Walk. The Idea is to Walk, Talk, Eat and most of all Blog. I will even tell you some humourless jokes. (Yeah I Love them, Sathya will tell you that) You can RSVP Here. or you can mail me here aravind@aravindkumar.com Incase you have issues getting to Mint Street you can call me on +919894312787

SO on January 10th 2008, Saturday @  1730hrs in  Mint Street some of us are going to be walking talking eating.(I will be Live Blogging) If you think it sounds good and that your mouth is dripping like a leaky piece of plumbing  please do join us. And for those of you who love molagga Bajji I will treat you to a plate if you answer this question. 

Why did the Sardarni Keep Staring at the Pack of Orange Juice???Leave your answers as a comment.

Did you know : That the Color RED sends a signal to the brain which in turn let’s your stomach think you are hungry. (My Mouth is Watering as I write this. Off to lay my hands on some sweets)
