in the name of security

A few interesting observations about the security system at the office gate

- It doesn't matter what a visitor enters in the security register. He could carry a bomb in his bag, write Osama as his name, put 911 as his contact number and doodle a cartoon as signature, and security will promptly give him a visitor sticker and let him through.

- You could keep a bomb in the passenger seat beside you and sit smugly while the security checked the boot and admired the chassis using the roller-mirror. No problem sir! drive on.

- You can flash any colourful, embossed plastic card as ID and sail through.

for the numerically challenged

......presenting 'lift-boys'!! They will press the button on the control panel that you tell them to. how brain-dead a concept is that? Add to that those 2 times out of 10 when they'll mess it up and send you in the opposite direction or zooming past u'r floor, as u look at the LCD display in despair. The worst is when you enter the lift to experience a rather unpleasant smell, crudely put namely 'fart-filled air'. They're human, after all. High time they're done away with

New Photo Album Updated!

Sreesanth, king of gaffes

Shantakumaran Sreesanth is all but his namesake. Where 'Shantakumaran' literally means 'silent boy', our S. Sreesanth is as depicted in the pics above. What you see are his actions on the field. What is more potent, however, is when his mouth does the talking (pun intended). Sample these

"If you are asking me, it was just an event and nothing else. I don't need to run after actresses"

this, after being linked with Priyanka Chopra post a promo event in Mumbai. Surely he should have spared a thought for the former Miss Universe. she must have been devastated!!

"Is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this imposter, moving around
nervously"

this, after beating Lara one ball. He was promptly pulled past the boundary, the very next ball. No one messes with Lara!!

"The Aussies should be worried I'm coming"

this, before the recently concluded Australia tour. Rajnikanth has competition!

There was this one time when, Sreesanth came good on a nel bowl, belting it straight over the bowler's head for six. He'd made a statement, a tremendous one at that. You're standing up to applaud when you see him perform that disgusting prolonged dance. The guy needs to develop some class!! He wasn't short of words this time either

Nel: (tapping his chest)"You need a big heart to play", I smell blood(sniffing the air)
S: (sniffing) "where, where?"
(after that memorable SIX)
S: "How was that slap and where is your tongue now?

But i still admire this guy. I think he has single handedly brought aggression into the Indian Team.
