Those who are at Chennai, kindly check this out and those who are not at Chennai, please book your tickets to Chennai and check out the Rebelz. I can guarantee you that your money will not go wasted. Moreover a friend of mine is acting in one of the plays, I am not going to name who she is, as I don’t want to be whacked if she doesn’t act properly.

24th April 2009 - 10:00 A.M.

I was sitting in my office as usual waiting for my clients to pay m

e the fees when my secretary called me and said,

“Boss we have a new client and he insists that he has to meet you perso

nally”

“Are you sure he wants to meet me?”

“Yes he insists”

“Did you show him the sign board?”

“Will I miss it? I need some forgiveness for the sins I commit with you” (Read this in a non sexual sense)

“Alright send him in”

(Knock at the door)

“Yes come in”


Enters in our Karthik, phew, I thought its someone innocent who has become a victim of me, now that its Karthik I know its going to be easy. “Yes da machan, what do you want”

“Machi I am in love with a girl da”

“Is she in love with you?”

“That’s what I want to know, Can you help me?”

“Anything for you da, shoot”

“Can you write a love letter to that girl?”

“I wont mind doing that da, but are you sure you want me to write it???”

“Yes Please”

“Alright leave me the address I will draft one and send it to her”

“Ok here is the address,

Ms Emma Watson,

No. 6 Vivekanandhar Road,

London Main Road,

London Cross Cut Road,

London – 0 00 000

United States of Kingdom.”

“Are you sure this is the address? It looks like an FM ad”

“I am dead sure da”

“Alright you go then – will send the letter and send you the

acknowledgement”

“Ok Bye”

“Bye”

He left.

27th April 2009 - 10.00 A.M.

The letter is drafted and is lying on my table which reads:

6th May 2009 - 10.00 A.M.

Karthik enters in.

“Machi is that ready?”

“Yes have a look” (he reads. Read the next line after 3minutes and 23 seconds)

“Thanks da, its awesome, can you send it on my behalf?”

(With a glee in my voice) “Me??? Are you sure?”

“Yes”

“Sexy da, Will do”

“Ok da I have to go and click the ads in my blog page – got my ad sense approved”

(Still with the glee in the voice) “Ok da bye” (he leaves)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You know what I did? I sent the notice with this stamp at the back side of the envelope.

The rest is history. Cheers.

~~~MORAL OF THE STORY~~~

Never use a lawyer to convey your love

Arjuna’s Presence of mind…  

Posted by Lancelot in ,

This is a new series in my blog – about my theatre days. Actually these days starts right from my 3rd standard when I started acting in the school plays like the Three Kings who brings gift to Jesus Christ, Panchali Sabhatham (Draupadi Vastra Haran), Little Peta Rabbit and so on. I am going to tag this under the head AVALON DAYS named after my theatre group Avalon Theatre Productions. There are several funny incidences on and off the stage during the plays, short film shoots and cast parties. Everything will be penned down here. Hope this will put a smile on your face, to start with let me tell you about Draupadi Vastra Haran drama.

This is the play we did during my 6th Standard at School. Most of you know the story where the Pandavas play the game of dice with the Gauravas and they will lose everything they had and finally pledge Draupadi/Panchali and lose her as well, then she will brought to the courtyard and will be stripped by the evil Dukshadana. What happened was, as it’s a boys school (yeah unfortunately I was put in a boys school from 6th to 12th) the Draupadi role was played by a girl like boy who was very thin, the Dukshadhan character was played by a very rough and tough boy. I played the role of Arjuna, I am always given an ordinary role, one in the corner with just one or two lines of dialogues. During the rehearsals we didn’t had the saree tied on Draupadi so it was just an air action then. On the day of the play, the primary school teacher brought two sarees in the same color and pinned it and tied it on the guy who played Draupadi and mind you he had his uniform shorts inside it. She also strictly warned the guy who played Dukshadhan not to pull the saree with force and told him to over act and does it slowly till the music stops (the background music was from some old movie). So everything was set we were on stage. Let me give a live commentary on the specific incident;

Fast forwarding the initial scenes we are now at the scene where Draupadi is in the court yard and us the Pandavas all having our heads bent, Dukshadhan starts to pull the saree and Draupadi calls for our help, and we are not helping her as we were slaves ourselves, so she calls Lord Krishna and Lord Krishna appears (he was my class leader hmph). So Dukshadan started pulling the saree bit by bit, we can see it going and going but unfortunately the final pin was not intact with the Draupadi’s shorts that the saree came out fully and Draupadi was standing there with shorts.

The entire school started laughing. The guy who played Draupadi was so embarrassed, that’s when our Arjuna came to the rescue with his presence of mind, he stood up and said, “Hail Krishna, the mighty lord, you are simply great, you have given shorts to Draupadi to protect her modesty, Jai Sri Krishna…” the whole college burst into laughter and claps and whistles were on my way. After this I always got the plump roles…

Happy Birthday to Think Adroit  

Posted by Lancelot in , ,



Four years back there was this guy at Chennai in a law school, who was Mr No One. He can’t speak good English, he is not hip, he doesn’t know what is the difference between Pop- Rock- Hip Pop, he doesn’t know who George Clooney is, and he was Mr No One. No one in the college trusted him, no one believed him, no one thought he will be a success story, in fact Mr No one himself thought he will be no one after his law school. That’s when our Mr No One met Mr X and they became house mates. Mr X influenced Mr No One to a great extent and made Mr No One as Mr Some One. Later Mr Some One met Mr X’s friend Mr P who was equally motivating Mr Some One. The best thing in life was to be believed and trusted by someone who is nowhere related to you by blood, who is nowhere indebted to you by any means, who just see you as a person of some substance, who appreciates you for what you are, that alone will motivate you to go higher and higher. Mr X and Mr P are such persons in Mr Some Ones life. Mr Some One had also some financial hicks as he was a student but Mr X and Mr P understood it greatly and always took him out to good hangouts at Chennai, never left him in alcoholic meetings, though what Mr Some One was able to contribute was his presence. So Mr X and Mr P are a great reason for what Mr Some One is now. Later on their friend Mr J came into the scene and he was nowhere less than them, he helped in polishing Mr Some One’s Statement of Purpose to UK universities.

Now these guys Mr X, Mr P and Mr J all worked in a Call Centre, ONE NIGHT AFTER THE CALL CENTRE, they thought enough is enough to be a stereotype and decided to set paths to others and wanted to be their own employers, and they planned and started their own company at Chennai. During their planning, their execution Mr Some One was a spectator and for being a spectator Mr Some One was given the post of the Company’s Legal Counsel- Mr Some One’s first job, first clients even before completing his law degree- yes because they trusted him and for this Mr Some One will be grateful to them till the end of the world. Now the introduction scene in the order of appearance:

Mr No One/Mr Some One – Lancelot Arun

Mr X – Xavier


Mr P – Prasanna

Mr J – Jude

Single Tea with Siluvai…  

Posted by Lancelot in ,

Dear friends, I am not allowed to write in my blog today. Some of you know my alter ego “Siluvai”. He usually appears to comment in Kartik’s blog and now he and Nattamai has joined together as copy cats and have started blogging “here”. For the purpose of their copy cats blog both of them were learning English and Siluvai failed in his English exams. In order to practice his English he is blogging here today about various things like Introducing himself, narrating his love story (like how he met his wife Munimma, how they married etc). So, I pity you all and pray that you should not forget English. Let me give way to Mr Saltkottai Siluvai.

“Single Tea with Siluvai”

Ladies and gents, good morning. Me name is Siluvai, I from Saltkottai. I good look. You doubt see pixture this. No face because I show late. That pic I wear is name Lungi.

I know you question, “Who Munimma?” Munimma my husband and me his wife. Munimma good figure. I first meet in Church on Sunday not in the afternoon, not in the evening but the other time. First meet I shy, she shy, everybody shy. Next meet tsunami. She, I Tsunami hit and put in tree, she catch me I no fall, she life my save. I fall not from tree but fall love in Munimma. But I no not she love me, so I tell her no. One month after I go to tea shop, she come to shop to buy bonda (for non tamils – bonda is one round straight shape eating with hole inside, this hole full of sponge yellow color, with onions, chilli, put in oil, fry eat, tasty good) I see she, she see I. Eye, eye meeting, I tell tea owner, “Sir put bonda well, she my close friend” She smile, she say she go church in evening, I understand she call me to come. Evening I put new underwear, baniyan, lungi, shirt. I go church, she wait church backside, I see she see, we go beach, we sit by the ship. We no talk. It start black sky, moon no, sun no, stars only yes. I see she, I romantic my lips join I go front.
