Vodka Masterplan Unearthed

Hey, last night I bunked at my married-for-slighty-more-than-three months brother, Suresh Ramasamy's apartment in the bustling Kuala Lumpur metropolitan.

Of course, his beloved wife and my often-off-balance sister-in-law (SIL) Mrs. Bavani lives with him.

Was it a day they got up from the wrong side of the bed or it just happened to be d-day when I discovered the ultimate lewd side of them - I'm yet to conclude. But one thing's for sure...the married couple sure have wild imaginations.

Their plans were spilled out by them yesterday and boy was I not surprised. What beats a brother who intends to get his sister drunk by getting her to drink rasberry flavoured vodka?

And my homely looking but not really-so SIL has a hand in it too.

Their masterplan goes something like politely requesting me to consume alcohol until I get pissed drunk and then watch what I do. Venue was not specified though. But this is only their most decent of all plans.

As they revealed further dirt, I gathered that if I turn down their decent advances of asking me to drink vodka, they will resort to mix it with wine and disguise the same in my all time favourite MILO drink or food that I consume!

Whatever means they resort to, their ultimate aim is to see me drunk and witness what I do...such vivid imaginations and they dare say it out aloud to my face! Was I aghast to say the least.

And this comes from an elder sibling who is supposed to ensure I don't drink, go clubbing or do anything that wrecks the family name - ain't it sad?

Asked why the husband and wife are resorting to such actions, came a laid back reply, “For the heck of it...simply to see what you do if you get drunk! Best for you to experiment in trusted company so that you know in future your extreme limits!”

I'm lost for words really. Their behaviour in wanting to witness my misbehaviour on being drunk sounds like some management training for higher officials in the event of a screw-up - literally!

In Respect of Mary, Mariamman, Maryam

While browsing the net as usual today, I came across this three part article which I thought is really worth sharing and blogging my thoughts on.

It is on religion to say the least, but I think the ultimate message persons with an open mind and heart should get after reading it is the fact that time and again one thing is proven beyond doubt - there is no stopping the human mind, although people can be of different faith, to worshipping a common creator called God.

In whichever form God is worshipped by his respective devotees with sincerity, prayers are accepted. And across the globe, beyond the divide in the name of religion and race - teachings of all faith are similar in preaching one to do nothing but good.

Likewise, I find these articles interesting and its definitely not the first time I coming across something with a hidden 'unity in diversity' message. My reasoning for finding it interesting goes beyond what meets the naked eye.

Reading this, I can only reinforce my firm stand as thought to me by my respected father that God is omnipresent and he is everywhere, in whichever form you want him to be. But the catch is that it takes you more than just your eyes and religious belief to see and feel his presence in the most intangible of forms.

Today, I stand more convinved than before that when one sincerely accepts God and his beautiful creations, no force can stop me from respecting other faith and their method of worship just like my own. Respecting other religions and giving them regard as I do to my own also gives me equal peace and serenity as I usually get daily after worshipping God in accordance to my religious practice.

Do good and do good for as long as you live - even if others do onto you what you'd never do onto yourself and them. I think this is the message of all religion, regardless if I'm a staunch temple-going Hindu, Church frequenting Buddhist, a Christian visiting Hindu shrines or anything else for that matter.

Read with an open mind and heart. God is omnipresent and he is right here, right now as I blog this piece.

Afterall, we are but his best and most wonderful creation ever:-)

Hey Sexy, what's your name?

Deny no more.

I bet you have posed the question of 'what's in a name?' at least once in your long or short lifetime. Depending on the circumstances under which you raised the same -the answers too, would have differed.

Personally, I too have thrown the question - most times to myself and at other times to the appropriate party, depending on situations. Often, the answers I've got range from 'Nothing. Just different spelling and pronounciation' or 'Don't know' to 'Everything!' and not forgetting the all time favourite, 'Aiya...how am I to know what's in a name?'

Given that, I was pleasantly surprised to read the following news in Reuters about the right name making you sexier. Now, now, yes I know it is exciting to find out if names make you sexier but just don't forget that when it comes to people - more than just the name, you as a person matter most when making an impression.

All the best in discovering your sexy-ness...

Cupid's spot on strike!

Love is in the air, most definately.

Well, at least for me though.

This is a very personal feat and achievement of sorts, spoken in a language often best understood by the heart of two people in love.

The little I can tell is that the one party in love is me and the other person who happens to love me unconditionally in return is my soulmate, whom I shall call in this blog as the Scandinavian Prince (you'll know why when the time comes).

Today is special and will never be forgotten since it was d-day when I uttered the three magical words meant to be said to only the most deserving and special person each of us meet in life someday, somewhere.

Cupid has struck me...spot-on!
