What's in a name ?

-


It's time for some general knowledge. 'Asin', a budding South Indian actress, is the latest heart-throb of both unmarried and married men today. One such unmarried man and fan of the damsel gave me some 'gyaan' about what her name actually meant.

The following are some of the valuable points-to-ponder discovered in the due course. Please feel free to get enlightened!


The Myth

'Asin' is a Muslim.

The Fact

'Asin' is a Mallu-Christian.

The interpreted meaning

'Asin', I believe, is a person who is sinless - As in, sin, Asin, miss, amiss, moral, amoral, that way. Antonyms. You get the point? Frankly speaking, even am trying hard.

The Dictionary meaning

'Asin' means, the seventh month of the Hindu calender.

(Please, for heaven's sake ! Stop brooding over her name !)

The Co-incidence



Jyothika's name referred to the sixth month of the English calender in her recent flick - 'June R'. Surya played Jyothika's boyfriend in the movie, who just appeared in the last scene.

Incidentally, his latest-and-not-so-good-yet-a-runaway-hit
film was titled 'Aaru', referring to number six ! My 'sixth sense' tells me that apart from having a good on-screen chemistry, it looks like the pair also have a good on-screen mathematics !!

on screen mathematics ...
OR
Numerology.. The in-thing...
Personally... I don believe in it.. but whatever...

And as for the meaning of "Asin".. I think Asin herself once said it means without sin.. blah blah.. something abt a fusion of mixing the west ("sin") and east("a" which in sanskrit mean without) Actually.. now that i think abt it.. I'm pretty sure she said something of the sort...

My God! Too much of analysis!! this explains what software engineers do when they are on bench!!

But one thing, this post of yours reminds me of a numerology program on TV (Could have been Sun or raj or jaya or DD or .. the list goes on) which my mother regularly watches (God knows how she has the patience to watch that and that too without losing her head) and I used to watch it for a good laugh!! According to one of the so called numerology profs - "Sri Sri Aboorva Jyodida sigamani prof.kirukku Rajendra"....oops that was Murukku Rajendra..., males born under the sign of "Virgo" in the year "Monkey", usually end up as "Software engineers" with either no brains or one that doesnt work the right way!!

By the way Im a software engineer too, but luckily I was born in May!!!

What you're about to read is an actual resignation note (unedited version) that my manager-friend received from one of his team members. "Hello, I will not cum in office from today onwords.I fell down in the road last friday while returning from the office near madivala flyover. I right leg and right shoulder got little damage. As per the doctor advise I have to take 30 to 45 days rest to recovar campletly. Since I going to Australia far MBA in feb last weak I Can't join the job again after my recovary far shart period. So I decided to dis-continue my work from today onwords. I really sorry far the inconvenience caused to resigning my job. Tanks for the great suport and copration from u r compayny. I yum resign." Atleast, 'I will not cum in office' was pardonable to a certain extent, since it gave my friend a hearty laugh. But, 'I yum resign' was the last straw to break the camel's back. After reading that last sentence, my friend felt like

It is beyond my doubt that whoever wrote the following 'gems', must've been helplessly inebriated, or had an extremely important errand to run, or lost control over one's bladder, or skipped at least one square meal before he/she actually wrote it. I mostly think it must've been one of those chappies working at the restaurant, for I believe chappies have an innate tendency to shut their minds off and drop their jaws open instead, when they encounter delicious, lip-smacking and mouth-watering food -- Take me, for instance -- Show me a plateful of echt Bhel-Poori and a woman-full of zeal and oomph -- you can never buy me for the latter! Anyway, coming back, thanks to Sarvajnya for capturing and sharing these precious writings, directly from the buffet table of a desi restaurant in Amreeka , whose name I don't wish to disclose! I don't know if the cuisine in this restaurant hydrated the eaters' tongues, but I can tell for sure that the following caption

Token of appreciation

It was more than a ritual in my friend's ex-company to offer on-the-spot gratuities (really hefty ones) to their employees who made outstanding contributions to their respective projects. One such competitive employee, in spite of having exhibited his profound skills, was neither apprised in a just manner nor given the due credits. By due credits, I mean the impromptu gratuities I was talking about in the first line -- I believe, these were termed "Bravo awards". The frustrated employee, who was no longer able to endure the injustice thrown upon him, once poured out his indignant feelings to his immediate supervisor, stating that the supervisor better honour him with at least a "Bravo". The supervisor, who was a new hire himself, did not know what "Bravo" meant; neither the true meaning of the word nor the company's lingo. Obviously, the employee meant the latter. Ignorant of these facts, the rookie searched for the "synonym" of the wo
