Return of crazy thieves

First Crazy Wednesday

'Crazy' Mohan, needs no introduction. His name says it all. I've grown up listening to and watching his stage dramas in several 'sabhas' in Mylapore, Chennai. Infact, there used to be an auditorium called 'RR Sabha', adjacent to my school building ,where many of his shows took place. So, it was just a hop, skip and a jump from the school's gate. I used to be so much crazy about 'Crazy' Mohan's dramas, that I would directly sneak into the auditorium with my school uniform, back pack and lunch bag, to get a glimpse of Maadhu and Cheenu, who were my favourite comedians then ! crazy kid, huh ?

Crazy Mohan's dialogues had a neat mix of satires, puns, one-liners and to top it all, confusions! The names of the characters in his plays and scripts ought to be Mythili, Janaki, Maadhu and Cheenu. He's been pretty much consistent with that, atleast as far as I've known. The interesting part about his wits are that they're constructed in such a way that while you're still laughing on a gag line, you might tend to lose out on the ones that follow -- and that speaks volumes about the writer's acumen. I've always believed that there are only three people that can execute Crazy Mohan's dialogues to perfection -- 'Maadhu' Balaji (Crazy's blood brother), 'Comedy King' S.Ve Sekhar and 'Padmashri' Kamal Hassan. Listening to their jokes, I can go on for days without bread and water.

Gallons of humour is all I need, to survive....

Starting today, I'll be posting audio versions of stage dramas penned by 'Crazy' Mohan under the space titled, 'Crazy Wednesday'. Hope you'll enjoy them as much as I'd do !

Update: Looks like this post hasn't had reasonable hits. So, i'll be discontinuing this series(as if I've already posted a dozen!) for now. I'll resume, on demand.

Presenting, 'Return of crazy thieves', a sequel to 'Crazy Thieves in Palavakkam' -> Click here to listen. If you'd like to listen to 'Crazy thieves in Palavakkam', please click here.

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

Food for thought

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

Software inside, footwear outside

Sometime in the early nineties, when I was in school, when the eight-letter word C-O-M-P-U-T-E-R was considered nothing less than a machine with divine intelligence (and they called it AI!), capable of performing tasks ranging from processing of complicated accounts in a grocery store to launching of a rocket in NASA, I remember this funny poster (printed from an incredibly slow and lowest quality dot-matrix printer) stuck outside my computer lab in school that said, "Software inside, footwear outside"; as if, the computer lab were a place of worship and the computers themselves, the avtaars of gods! Not to forget the lab in-charge staff and computer sirs/ma'ams, who were considered messengers of these gods. All this hype, for a couple of old and rickety 386 machines with MS-DOS (one of them even had Windows 95!) installed in them! Whenever we passed the computer lab, we'd see the staffs sitting in front of the computer, with their legs crossed and fingers on their c
