All Roads Doesn't Leads to Rome !!!

My day's destination started at 09.30 a.m. today morning. To surprise it started with a heavy rain. I was quite thrilled particularly in this heavy rain to drive through city and reach West Mambalam.

Off late I had been avoiding GST road to avoid heavy traffic jam due to Metro works and using Medavakkam Koot road and reach Airport runway with ease. Everything went on well till the edge of GST road, when things changed entirely. Roads were completely blocked and was literary stuck and had no clue what to do, with only one solution left i.e. to "Wait and Wait". Rain was on Full mode to hit the ground with showing no mercy.

May be after 30 minutes, I moved further I realized I had to cross a Subway. Guys, Subwayyyyyy.
Uff, initially I thought I could zoom through the Subway but none opted to take route and everyone were taking the service lane of the Subway. I too took that route and saw an AAAWWW moment. I am sharing that pic with you.

Guess what zoom it and see, it is a Bus guys. It was literaaly stuck up inside the Subway which made an attempt to zoom through the subway. I am thinking what would have happened had I done the same.

Anyway that was the time I was thinking myself as the cleverest guy on the planet. I just thought all roads will be parallel and could reach with ease on the other side via some bridge. My assumption was "All Roads leads to Rome".

Time was ticking 10.00 a.m., I crossed the service lane of the bridge and reached Adambakkam. The traffic wasn't moving an inch too. If I would have kept a race with Turtle even that would have reached the destination faster than me. I didn't had any clue where I was and where I am heading. I was forced to follow cars before me and most hilarious was people behind me too were following me so sincerely. May be after one hour reach Guindy and finally at 12.15 reach Kathipara.

Whatta a sigh of relief it was indeed. It was priceless !!!

Summary of the story:
1. All Roads Doesn't lead to Rome i.e. our expected destination.
2. Always think before route you are going to choose during Rainy season.

Wanted to share this video, which I took during the drive. It was real fun though the initial 30 minutes of drive. Priceless again !!

Mom's Joey

This is a tale of how a Rowdy Joe turned into Mom's Joey !!!

It's been a month since I have kept on Chin beard and then went on to turn it into a Moroccan type. It suited my face to larger extent, but one person at home kept on disliking and it was my Mom.

On Good Friday she said this is guy is not my son. He is a rowdy. Unfortunately I had to accept that fact. To her, anyone with beard is a rowdy. She doesn't like me keeping even Mustache. In fact I too don't like having it too.

As told earlier, this tale is an event which happened in a span of 30 minutes to bring back Mom's Joey from a Rowdy Joe.

Step 1: All the equipment for the events were ready. Made sure I had a new blade to have a clean shave.





















Step 2: Moroccan to French Beard 
To start with Knocked off the side beard which I had been sidelining very carefully for the past one month. I had to apply very little shaving cream because of it's less density. Now this will give you a French Beard look.

Step 3: Clive Lloyd  !!! Now looked at me carefully it gave me an old man look with a strange beard. So after a thinking for 5 minutes there was a confusion to go for Chin Beard alone or to keep a Mustache. Since have kept Chin Beard many times, went for Mustache. It was little hard to knock off my chin beard because those were almost 2 cms long and dense. I had always been a great fan of Clive Lloyd particularly for his big and stylish Mustache. Thought I am not height as him atleast can keep a Mustache like him. So went for a Clive Lord Mustache look.

Step 4: Mom's Joey !! Now how does that look guys? More strange or funny??
To me it was like more of Matured kinda look. I was thinking about mom, how she will react. I am sure she is gonna say Joe you look like an Uncle !! Now already one of my friend is very fond of calling me "Uncle Joe" for whatever reasons. Doesn't want to give the entire people a chance to call like that. Finally with no other options left went for a clean shave to fulfill mom's wish. Infact with hot soaring sun of Chennai, I wasn't so comfortable with beard on my face. It was so sweating and itching to the core.

Now this is my complete look at the end of the day.

After a long research and bit by bit shaving I finally settled with this look. Mom's Joey look..
She was so happy to see me back in clean shave. Dad was like shocked and was not comfortable to see me in clean shave and was telling that my face has suddenly changed drastically. He told I should have kept like beard to give a little guy look, this looks like a kid.

Whatever the world says, To mom I am always the same chubby and clean shave Joey.

Hope I continue to be so..........

So this is tale of an Rowdy Joe turning into Mom's Joey. .

Happy Weekend !!!!!!!

A Mysterious Tale

Howdy folks !

On this #ThrowBackThrusday, want to share an incident which happened during our school days !!

The picture below may look simple but has an unforgettable tale attached to it.

From Left to Right on Cycle : Myself, Sunil and Muthukumar. Don't remember the juniors standing in our cycles except for Richard who is on Muthu's cycle.  

This happened in 11th grade of our Bell School. We guys were rock stars during our 11th grade, bcos we were the Senior most gang available for any School's extra-curricular activities. Our Senior 12th grade people were always busy with Studies.

We were a gang of only 11 guys in total and rest some 8 girls in our class.

It was our School Sports day when our Princi Renuka madam, called us and asked to do a Cycle Pyramid. We were quite excited to do mainly because the permission was granted only to us to do. So obvisously to show our #Gethu we were on it.

The act of Joint Pyramid which is in the picture was the easiest of all, we were supposed to go for one lap like this. But credit goes also to our School Juniors who were brave to stand on our Back Seats fearlessly.

Now coming to the Mystery Incident. We guys were also supposed to ride through a Pyramid shaped Wooden base. It was almost 3 feet height pyramid with two pieces of wooden attached. It was placed at three places in one lap. We guys were practicing it. Then our princi madam, insisted us to do the same stunt by taking out one of the piece i.e Half Pyramid. So it was like get on it and falling from the top for almost 3 feet. Initially we guys hesitated but practiced with the support of our class mate. We used to have long run up on cycle to get speed and do the stunt. All this was happening but two of our classmates - Noorul and Selvamurugan were not present. Suddenly Noorul came to the ground with his cycle and was ready to go for the stunt. We were actually surprised to see him and warned him to not to do that stunt since it was quite dangerous. But he wasn't in a mood to listen and went fast from the run up. What happened next, is the same which you guys have guessed. He was literary on Air for almost 2 seconds. He went out of control and crashed on the land and his cycle came flying above him and hit him. Still the memories of his stunt is fresh. We all rushed and raised him from the mud. Guess he had three stitches near his lips and severe injury on his forehead.

Ask any of my school batch mates everyone will narrate this incident with a broad smile on their faces. Such an epic it was.

Unfortunate part for us was that Princi cancelled that stunt alone and asked to with two pieces and in proper pyramid shaped structure. We guys were quite angry with Noorul bcos it was bcos of him our Air Stunt show was cancelled. We would have had one more feather to our cap if we would done that stunt.

The mystery which still lies among us what made him to do that stunt. One thing which we came to know later, it was b'cos of our class girls he did that stunt. As mentioned earlier during our practice he and selva didn't come to practice and stayed in class with our all our girls. Somebody in that girl's gang told something, still we couldn't find and get to know who said what which made him to do that stunt.

If any of my Batch mates (girls) are reading this please do reveal that mystery. I am sure it's one among you 8 girls.

We had asked several times to Noorul but till now he has neva told who it was. He always managed with a smile.

Chalo here ends the mysetrious epic which happened during our school days, without the knowing the main culprit behind that incident. Also leaving behind with expectation that we would come to know that person who tempted Noorul to do that stunt.
