The SEVEN RUPEE GUY..

In life,we have come across a lot of strangers n of course we will meet a lot of them in future..
Very few among that million leave an impact in us,with their lookz.. actions... whatever..
And we will not be able to stop thinking about them at least for 2 days bcoz of that impact they left in us..

I came across one such guy this saturday and I feel its worth writing about him here..
I'd like to call him the "SEVEN RUPEE GUY".. (Alas.. i dont know his name...) You will get to know
in a while as to why i call him so...

Well.. Myself n Nirmal (my buddy.. for those who dont know him) were walking on the sidewalks of Chennai Central in search of a good hotel for our dinner.. We were damn hungry n he had a train to catch @ Egmore after dinner.. We were kinda desperate coz there was not even a single hotel on the side we were walking..

Then came a guy walking towards us. I thought he was just any other stranger.Never cared to pay any importance to him.Suddenly he stopped near us n started saying something. He was definitely talking to us only bcoz we were the only people walking on that pavement at that time..

He wanted us to listen to him n we were quite in a hurry.. We reluctantly said ok n he started.. asked if we knew hindi,english coz he dint know tamil.
"English", we replied n he continued..
He said he is from Bihar n doing EEE in a college in Chennai (well i know which one.. lol). And that he drained all his money drinking.. To make us believe he asked us check his pockets n stuff.. Too strange a behavior for a stranger to ask another stranger to checks his pockets.. I was perplexed.. Wanted to see what he actually is doing and what he wanted of us..

He also assured us that he is no kidnapper.. lol.. (Well what is he going to do kidnapping me and him?? naanga andha alavukku ellam worth illingo...). He wasn't drunk either.. He was very clear in what he was speaking had no sign of a drunkard at that time...


Then he finally answered a few of the questions which were lingering in my mind ever since he stopped at us.. He said wat all he wanted from was "seven rupees".. not a paise more.. not a paise less.. (god knows as to why he wanted exactly 7) He dint compel us. We could go if we dint have any change..

We ran through our pockets n purses n gave him 8 rupees.. His reply was the most astonishing.
He asked us why we gave 8 rupees when he asked just for 7 rupees, as if he was some strict "Mr.Red Tape" and we were trying to bribe him.! We had no time to reply. I said, have a "bubble gum" n started leaving..He wanted our mobile no so dat he wud recharge our balance for this favor.. We dint reply..

And thats where our very short meet with the "seven rupee guy" ended.. Bt still I do wonder why he wanted seven rupees and seven rupees only...

Well,all I can do is convince myself saying this,
There are some mysteries on earth which have no explanations n which even when explained lead us nowhere..

Wish I get to meet him again in my life before i forget his face... lol...

The Fever is on....!!!

It came into existence 2 years back n was a grand success straight away... n then had to be in exile for a year n now its back to its homeland again.. in a more supercilious way....Yes...The star-studded IPL is back n it kick started in a very majestic fashion... with stars from n outside bollywood performing n adding charm to the grandeur of the opening ceremony...


When it comes to IPL,one forgets what patriotism is.... You pick your team n enjoy n laud the fall of another Indian star who naturally would ve become a hero in any international match... Such is the nature of IPL.. But still its one month full of enjoyment n fun.. One gets to see all his favorite stars in action at a time.. And on top of all,its a feast for all those who love balls(strictly cricket.. lol) thrashed in all direction for boundaries.. Its going to be a heavy shower of runs..


Its a good pastime for all, mainly for students like me who don't have any work for the evening (though they have a lot).. lol.. :-) :P



So wat r u waitin for? Choose ur side n start cheering... After all IPL happens once a year only...
