This was more fun to do than I thought.

Shamelessly copied from 's journal, I found this ...

Shamelessly copied from 's journal, I found this quite interesting:


Go to google and search for "your-name is". Here's a selection from what I found:

1. Madhav is the founder of Pratham, which was initiated by UNICEF in 1994
Maybe thats why this was the first search result - Pratham ??

2. Madhav is none other than the husband of her sister, Hemangini...
Now both Sindha and her sister would have a problem with that

3. There's an Interpol red alert out for him but, for the moment, Madhav is well underground. ..
Yeeaah ! You seek me here, you seek me there...the elusive scarlet pimpernel

4. Dr. Madhav is not home and it is revealed that Dr. Madhav had premarital sex with Rekha and the kid is Dr. Madhav's son. ...
I swear..the kid is not my son (do moonwalk, squeal "oooohh")

5. Backed by his nearly 20 years of trekking experience, Madhav is always willing and ready to make your holiday an unforgettable adventure. ...
Yeah, right. I just love to trek !

6. Madhav is dead!
Do you see dead people ?

7. Madhav is a college hero who basks in the adulation, admiration, and aura attributed to him
Excuse me while I bask a while

8. Madhav is working with indigenous missionaries in India who are training him to become a missionary to the Nepali people
Good position to be in, eh ?

9. Chintan's father Prof. Madhav is a magician of good repute.
Chintan ?

10. When Madhav is not at home, Rekha with her kid visits his house and reveals that Madhav had an affair with her and fathered a child.
This is getting to be a habit...ole adulterous me...

11. madhav trusts: none yet. madhav is trusted by: none yet
tell me about it

12. Surely not. I have not seen Madhav. Yet what I know about Madhav is that he possesses a Hitlerite moustache
That was old hat. Now I have an Osama moustache

13. Mr. Madhav is involved in many cases and was an active member of the Guerilla Squad of East Godavari
Maybe this is why I am wanted by Interpol

14. Such a sparkling source of ethereal pleasure lovely, little Madhav is!
awww...shucks, gee..what do I say !

15. Madhav is a flea infested mongrel
sigh...the perfect ending

A few more professions I am involved in - sales executive in a pharmaceutical firm, eye specialist, lawyer, signalman in the armed forces, sun certified java programmer and in the us doing masters (sic).


Other news:
- I cant believe that Sindha will be home for good in two weeks !! Her last exam gets over on July 9. Woo-hoo !!

- I had bought a James Herbert and an Ed McBain at Chennai. Forgot to bring them to Bangalore, hopefully my cousin Pavitra will get them when she comes to Blr next week.

- Need to call the Fiat guys and do some ass-kicking, like quaintly put it

- Invested some money in Equity Mutual funds for the first time. So now I have cash tied up in Debt and Equity. Fingers crossed.
