Being a hedonist. .

;Enjoyment sans committment"--is the motto of hedonists. Come November-December, streets of chennai will be witnessing "bitches-dogs ka milan". Even cannine clan faces abysmal sex ratio. Thanks to castaration drive initiated by the authorities some parts of the city experiencing "scarcity of bitches" and other parts experience "scarcity of dogs".
In my area, there is a lonely bitch( I take the pride of exterminating the dogs population by informing the municipal authorities) as a result I've earned the wrath of that lonely "bitch". Everytime we meet on the street, "she"snarls at me and I take a stone as a precaurionary measure.
The dogs from the neighbhouring areas make a beeline to "befriend" her. In that procress, there will be a " dog fight". All these activities take place during night time. They simply disturb our sleep. Hence, I take up the role of a snipper. Using the cover of darkness, I pelt stone at the "visitors". Because the "visitors" motto is to fill it, shut it and forget it. All dogs are hedonist by nature. By the way, the " bitch" in our locale is spayed. Again, I take the credit of making her "barren". In that case, she is a hedonist too.

Everything is justified

Why you remain a unique personality? When everyone is following the same policy. There might be one or two stray incidents don't magnify it too much. When you've set the bar high you ought to withstand the pulls and pressures of that level.. Always set your eyes on the target. If you don' t do your assigned tasks. You will be relegated or pushed back by your competitor. There is no logic in analysing the sin factor. The sin factor should be kept out of the purview. By harping harping on the subject of  sin factor you are not only wasting your time but also other's. Be prepared to do anything.  In case, you can't reconcile your conscience gulp two pegs in tge night.

Needs or Wants: Revisited

Once you know the art of savings, your unwanted spending will come to a naught. Because when you are goimg through a gala period of your life you will not be bothered about the inflows. The moment, you witness a sudden slump in your cash flows then you realise the importance of money.
Distinguishing the wants and needs is the first step in taming the crisis. At any cost the needs has to be fulfilled. Whereas, wants (not all)  can be either wished away or procastinated forever. This cannot happen immediately but, a sustained effort could fetch a  desired result.

I wish I had him in my list

In havan ( sacred fire) we offer ghee as ahuthi( offerings)  the moment ahuthi is consigned to flame. The havan fire glows brightly. It is because of give-me- more attitude.
Likewise, the desire factor in women is unlimited. When draupadi came to know that the eldest of the pandavas is karan not yudhistra her expression was " I wish I had him in my list of husbands".

Namesake gatherings

These days even an ordinary interaction seems to have taken a beating.  you receive invitations from relatives, near and dears to attend their domestic functions. As a matter of courtesy, you attend the functions. The moment you enter the function hall you will be received by the "receptionist" (in most cases, 6-7 year olds girls with " paneer" sprinklers in their hands) at the most, one or two faces gives out a plastic smile. That's all. Then, you ought to take a position in front row (if you find one) or.wherever the seats are available. To be frank,  none of the visitors to the function,  are interested in watching the event for which they have come. Meanwhile, after occupying the chair, we pretend to relish the music to show off to others that we are connosieur in the music field. By this time, the pangs in.the stomach will be greater its time to "cool" it.  we take soft drinks.  After gulping two-three cups, again,  back to the music.world. Around this time, one should start loosening the calf muscle because the event for which we have come is nearing its end. No sooner,v it is over we should sprint to the dining all to experience the first-come-first - taste.
In the entire episode, neither the organiser nor the invitee is intersted in the event. The both parties want to flaunt their swagger. 

Is your face a right choice?

In the field of advertising, retention of product is the success of a good advertisement. whereas, in the field of cheating, your face should have a "less recognizible" feature. Otherwise, there is every chance of getting pilloried by the general public. Poor memory is the key to success. In order to make your face less recognizible learn the art of camouflaging. Because it will come handy in a crisis period.

New scent in old bottle

As a commerce graduate, my acquaintance with commercial law started with a doctrine called Doctrine of caveat emptor-----let the buyer beware. This was prevailing in the 19th century much before the consumer friendly enactments were being made.
In chennai, there is a place, where consumers are ready to be taken for a tide, called burma bazaar. In the 70's and 80's the craze for electronic goods like colour tvs and two-in-ones was immense. During that period,  we indians had limited exposure to consumerable goods because of license raj. Apart from electonic goods, chennaites (then madrasis) had a penchant for " scent"(perfumes) . Remember, chennai's climate is hot and humid. The moment you wear a " scent" (read perfume) it will last long and long really long as said in a car battery ad.
Sensing  this fad, shopkeepers, henceforth, called as manufacturers started producing IMFP (what confused gwith abbrevation?) Indian-Made-Foreign-perfume. In the back alleys of North chennai,ramshackled sheds were converted into  manufacturing units to produce IMFP's. Once produced, they were stuffed inside the empty bottles of the foreign perfrumes and sold it to  consumers as " foreign scent". In those days,the people were ready to buy these goods, as their " foreign exposure" was almost nill.
Oblivious, or rather pretending, the customers in chennai buy this scent and flaunt it before the near and dear ones as if it had been an imported one or the one which was presented by "foreign chithhappa". And there were a group ready to believe this kinds of stuff.
