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

White snow and two dwarfs

It snowed 'monkeys and donkeys' in the east coast, yesterday. Don't get me wrong, they weren't scattered all around. Simply meant to use a different phrase, just for the heck of it. 'cats and dogs' are reserved only for rains, aren't they? Coming back to 'monkeys and donkeys', it had been snowing the whole of yesterday and Connecticut recorded an average of 10 - 12 inches. M y wife and I, kept gazing outside the whole day hoping for the storm to abate, so that we could have a romantic walk before the snow turns into ice. Atlast, it stopped around ten in the night. This was the moment we were waiting for. Both of us, fully armoured with thick winter clothing, finally stepped out of the house and walked towards the parking lot. There were heaps of snow all over the place and it took us a while to discover our black beauty, the Audi A4 , which was hidden under one of the mounds. As we started shovelling to unearth our car, we indulged in a deep convers

Anthrax

The 'word web' software on my system tray defines anthrax as, "A species of Bacillus that causes anthrax in humans and in animals (cattle and swine and sheep and sheep and rabbits and mice and guinea pigs); can be used as a bioweapon" If you really think anthrax is a bio-chemical weapon and is manufactured only by terrorists, well then you are mistaken. The photo of the person shown above is neither a terrorist who belongs to al-qaeda, nor is he an accomplice of Osama. Yet, he looks like one and also plays a vital role in spreading the anthrax. He is none other than our own desi software engineer, who lives in Bangalore. Typically, this is the attire of the working class in Bangalore. Womenfolk are no exceptions. These people are the major revenue generators of the state, who mostly still ride a two-wheeler though they can afford a four-wheeler. This class of the working society, coupled with the rest, jointly manufacture bio chemical weapons of mass destruction, call
