Chalakudi is the new Trivandrum

Russia is at war with Georgia and whenever I hear about some border skirmish or unrest , I open up a map of some sort to figure out the geo-political situation and the resultant socio-economic impact :)

So I opened google maps and while studying the Georgian boundary line, my eyes wandered to India. I was pleased to notice that Google has correctly marked all the important Indian cities with their poiltically correct names like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru and CHALAKUDI!!!

To me, Chalakudi is a small railway station to get down at if the ticket collector did not wake you up at Trichur and the irate passenger whose berth you are sleeping in nudges you out of your slumber. But apparently, to Google, it is the most important city in Kerala.

Another idiot guy attempting the same!

Same day , second guy.

What do you when you are in a public restroom, aiming to pee and you see somebody's pubic hair on the seat? (I am not going to get into the lifting the seat before peeing argument now)
Here are the options:

a.Blow it away
b.Use some tissue and slide it into the pot
c.Ignore it
d.Pee on it so that it goes away

Usually I go for option c. This one time I chose option b. and when I walked out I saw that my friend's wife was next in line. I missed a Larry David moment by letting go of a chance of having to explain that the pubic hair on the seat was not mine.

I am glad I missed it.
