Sambar magic(the tale of thondiraja)-part 3!(spoof)

January 9, 2009 § 9 Comments

And the voice on the other end,chirped,”yeeeeyaaa!Thondi raja!You have been selceted to perform in the Thondi Idol!”.The king,went ablaze,he jumped and he danced and started to sing,” Oh,want to have a thondi just  like this? Just eat all you have…oh! want to have a thondi just like this…”,The old man with the beard,gave a “I told you so” smile,whitened,by a secret formula,approved by the shamen and the head priest of thondi.

Ops,if you haven’t read part 2 yet then read it here.

 

The king replied to the voice,”Sure,I am honoured and since I sent away our star singer,Himesh,there is no competition for me,though there is this blogger called Vimal,ha did he qualify?”.

“Yes he did and we would be honoured,if you as the king do the thondi dance,to the song,”thondis don’t lie” “.

Even more delighted,”wow,now I need a partner..,when is it? “.And replied the voice ,all earnest and young ” You have plenty of time,oh!the world record holder for eating the most number of bhadushas(bhadushas are Indian donout,though it should be the other way about.),to put on some weight and get ready for the dance.All the best your highness,TC.”

 

As the call ended,the king turned around and thanked the smiling man with the beard.The man with the beard responded,” This is the secret of  Bush to get elected for the second term,the secret of Paris Hilton,to be so slim and Tony Blair,to lie so much and oh! your highness,this will always keep you fat! You are indeed the pride of thondi! Now I think you should go back,take a pack of Sambar with you.

“I will  also teach you the code to return here,but remember this is not web 2.0,no twitter,no stumble,no orkut,no facebook,just keep it to yourself,keep saying it until,you know it like the moves of your favorite heroine or like a kid who watched DD in the 90s,knows the dialogues of Mahabaratha and Ramayana”.

“OH! my fine old man,I understand.I will not give it to anyway,least of all NTTV and I will keep the travelling charges out of my books ,my accountant doesn’t know accounts anyway,he learned the trade at PWC and gets a hefty salary,anyway he is busy, he is appearing as a market analyst in one of those channels called NTTV Loss.And some how,the KTIAA(Kingdom of Thondi Accountants Association) don’t know what to do with him.I could have him thrown to the lions,but unfortunately,the lions,seem to be influenced by our Health minister,maybe,I should make the Rambodoc,from the wonderful blogging world,as the health minsiter.”

“Oh!king whatever.It is time to go.” The man with the beard, then again placed a stone,measured his steps,compained and hit the Ronaldo style free kick.The stone feel into the Magical Sambar river and they were back.

And as they came out of the forest,a guard came running,” Breaking news oh! king,Sathyam boss,just quit.It seems he had doctored the books.”

 ”Ha,you fine young man”,the king patted the man on his shoulder,”it is late news,if you want the full story,start blogging,as it is ,you don’t do any work,except,taking bribes from the beggars,to keep the big guards away.I tell you go,I will give you some money,eat ,get a thondi,don’t cheat and read blogs all day long.Otherwise,I will soon start being the “sources within” for the NEWS channels.”

“Oh!king,I am sorry,no,I do blog,but the feeds arrived a little late.Rather I was watching videos on youtube and forgot all about blogging.”

“Ha ,I am feeling hungry,run along”. The king turned to the minsiter who had arrived.”What happened to the Israel bombings?” 

The minister hesitated and confessed,”My brain was struck!”.

The king laughed out loud and beamed,” LOL,now that is a good minister.What a country,no wonder,we have pertol workers going on a strike etc.If we have such wonderful ministers!Now,you are going to get stuck,I am going to send you to the rehab,no comupters for five months.And remember to shave your hair.Of course we will give you a chalk.”

And so the king walked along,majestic as always.He took out his PDA(again gifted).And grunted,”Ha,this Microsoft,it is always getting hung.I thought they didn’t have capital punishments.”And at that moment,an apple,feel from the sky..

Satyam,whats the truth?

January 7, 2009 § 23 Comments

Wow! corruption,anyone? And look what happens,Satyam,boss Ramaliga Raju,resigns and cooly informing the world 

 

‘No board member had any knowledge of the real situation. Accrued interest of Rs 376 crore in books is non-existent. About Rs 1,230 crore was arranged to Satyam, but was not reflected in the books,” Source-IBN-live.

Time to celebrate people,especially if you had invested in Satyam,you just lost some money and if you are rich enough it means,you can cheat others now. 

See here for the entire letter(thanks Chirag).Reading the letter,one should also feel sad for the guy.After all he did start the company and in a bid to keep it,he had done this.I  not am sure how true,is it that he didn’t gain anything out of it.But end of the day,he has been caught and the markets go bear again.And the fact that cases in India would take forever.

Taking the fact that the I.T. industry is already in trouble and also that the world is facing met downs,this is not going to help anyone.A lot of people might again loose their jobs. 

Of course the auditors too would be answerable.How can someone,miss such large amounts? This might mean new laws,but maybe this would get them out?And the whole story doesn’t seem to be out yet,who else could be in it? Surely,a single person alone can’t engineer such a huge fraud?

And virtue seems to have a lot of value.maybe,we will be able to buy it also,sooner than later.Say Mr.X is a good person,so just pay him and his goodness will rub on to you.Who cares anyway? All these scandals reflect,is the “innate goodness” of human beings.Can’t people be truthful to themselves? And no,I am not claiming money is evil ,bad etc,Shouldn’t a person get only what he really is worth? And as far as I am aware,they still teach you not to lie in kindergarten.,so when did it all start anyway? maybe we should just each kids to lie.

Teacher:- Have you completed your work?

Boy:-yes,mam.

Teacher:-Show your book.

Ha good you haven’t done it.Now that is my boy.Keep it up,here are five stars for you.

Or am I speculating too much?

Where Am I?
