Real Chance for Love

This is the title of a local TV program. And I chanced upon it during a surfing expedition with the TV remote..

I discovered that Real and Chance (R&C) are the names of two African - American brothers. They seem to be Rap Artists and sport a variety of headgears and chains round their neck. Real is stocky and mean looking. Chance has a lean look and reminds me a lot of my erstwhile driver Mahesh in Mumbai. Some 15 girls, of different shapes and sizes are vying for the attention of the two brothers. They dress sparingly and are seen smooching and cuddling them all the time. The girls are split between the two brothers and during each episode, the brothers are shown cavorting with the babes in bath-tubs or dining at swanky restaurants .and exchanging notes with each other on which one is hot and which one is not. The girls are shown at loggerheads with each other and freely exchange expletives. So their verbal interactions are censored with the usual beep-beep.

R&C are wealthy fellows and have a huge farm house- pigs, horses, donkeys, geese, et al. One episode was about how the brothers take the girls to the farm-house to test who among them has the capability to work and live in the farm. Some girls have to catch the swine and clean it. Others had to wash the horses and donkeys. Yet others were running after the geese and hens … And the brothers were watching from behind the barn door. At the end of each episode one girl is eliminated-the brothers give away chains to the ones selected. “Babe, come and get your chain!”

What a bedlam it would cause if they aired this on the Mumbai TV channels!

I have an original theory that the worst looking guys have all the talent and wealth and get the best looking girls …

Lessons of life- from a squirrel!

As I type this I hear a knocking sound at my window and, lo and behold , there is this beautiful squirrel standing up with it’s two front legs resting on the glass. He had a brief look at me and ran away. Talking of squirrels, last week , I was driving to a store with the significant half beside me when suddenly she says in Tamil, ” Turn back fellow !”. I looked at her incredulously and she says, “Not you, there was this squirrel coming our of the garden patch and had crawled up into the road ahead and as if he could hear me, turned back into the grass safely!”. Not all have a safe trip across the roads though. You find them plastered on the road – a squash of flesh and blood. A couple of days ago, when driving to work on the highway- a six lane road with a center wall of around 3 feet height in the median, I noticed a squirrel dart across the road and climb up the center wall. I do not know if he made it across to the other side but it got me thinking. What was it on the other side th...

At Home

I walked into my home that night and felt totally at ease- everything was exactly as I had left it a year ago. It seemed like a dream scene- my father and my in-laws were sitting there and I eagerly held their hands and felt their presence with every cell in my being. I was glad to feel the firm mattress and the old familiar pillow under my head as I drifted off to sleep. The jet lag caused me to wake up at 3:00 am and I waited for the first light of dawn to see the world that was removed from my vision a year ago. We hit the jogger’s park and someone mentioned that they are seeing us after a long time- we just smiled and continued walking. Later we went off to the vegetable market to soak in the steaming sunshine. We argued with the vendors and shaved of a few rupees- we tested to check if our negotiating skills were still intact. The Auto rickshaws passed inches away from our chappals and we did not cringe. The deaf and dumb vegetable vendor opposite the Oswal Grain store was at his ...

On Golden Pond

This is a movie that will stay with me till my last breath. It touched me as no other motion picture has. Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn have made this a movie to remember for a life time! I will say no more. Just get the DVD and view it. You will never ever forget it.
