Unganisha of Life
Apparently, Unganisha means web. In Swahili.
Now, how on earth do I know that, is your question. How else, but from the man himself. Ashok Hariharan, of Unganisha.org, who had been in Madras, and whom I met on Saturday.
Kingsley who, shockingly, is a closet lesbian, the host of the gathering at Muthu’s place was accompanied by Bajji and many others. A jolly good time was had by all, especially Kingsley, who had to call me at 3 in the night (after I left for home at 11ish) for some help. The help was this.
Bleary eyed, and totally disoriented, all I could mumble was some vague comments about getting it to him the next day. Which I conveniently forgot when I woke up.
Mobile phones go awry on Mount Road
Or rather, on the Flyover, and only phones that don’t have Airtel.
Bharti Telecom, India’s largest mobile and Telecom services provider, and which is now nothing more than an empty shell that outsources its services to others, has taken over the Anna Flyover, on Chennai’s arterial Mount Road(Anna Salai) and is emblazoning its name and brands on the walls.
I am sure, pretty soon, it will put up a huge tower right smack in the middle of the flyover, and charge other cell phone service providers rent to use the flyover.
Am on Hutch. Am afraid now to go to Mount Road.
Statutory Warning
When in Madras, when riding a bike, and it is raining, don’t, I repeat, don’t ever get stuck behind a TVS moped or a scooty.
Especially, when you are wearing a yellow T Shirt.
Not when you want to get to office without any stains.
