Love might be blind but it certainly can smell!

You must have selected your guy/girl based on a thousand reasons.. Maybe,he's funny..he's cool..smart. But, here is the truth. You have selected your partner for reasons that you can't even understand or putting it otherway, you are just following your brain's interpretation of chemical compatibility.

Pheremones are odourless chemicals that are released through sweat. Nose has this special gift to smell Pheremone and send signals to brain. The brain interprets the smell and reads information about the opposite sex's immunity system. The brain will then compare your immunity system with the opposite sex's and will decide if you should "Love" him/her!!!By doing this, it makes sure the offspring can have a strong immunity against more number of ailments!.

A research conducted by a team of scientists in Switzerland confirmed this. They selected 4 women and asked them to smell unwashed T-shirts. All the four women seemed attracted to the smell from a T-chirt that emitted Pheremones that had contrasting immunity system than theirs'.

Well, that's just one in few hundreds of harmones that determines how you should feel about the person. Another chemical called Dopamine is secreted when someone falls in "love" and this harmone also is sectreted when someone is on cocaine!. Answers from where you get the "Kick" right?. Every minute reactions such as "guts" till even "divorce" are influenced by chemicals and harmones inherently controlling human emotions. For instance, serotonin is responsible for the "fun" element when you are with your lover. When serotonin levels are lower than 40% of it's usual level, you lose interest in the relationship or it's gets depressing apparently for no social reasons other than chemical or harmonal imbalances.

For those people who were breaking their heads to understand why they always fail in chemistry practicals, it is probably because your brain had always been simply obsessed with Pheremones and was not willing to look at copper suplhate. Well, this also explains why guys who got Copper sulphate right are now single. Yes, Me :(

Fear of humans?

I once assumed that snakes are totally evil and completely dangerous to deal with. But on the contrary they are an amazing species and mostly harmless(even most deadly ones).I call snakes harmless, because they never intend to hurt human beings. The most they try to do is escape from human beings and if it bites it's only because they are cornered and scared. They say "Snakes don't bite anything they can't eat".Human beings are a too big a meal, I guess. Snakes go through so much stress when handled by human beings that they can even die out of it. I have personally seen 3-4 vine snakes die because of such stress while handling them.

I owe my change in perspective to my friend and herpetologist, Showkath with whom I spend countles hours discussing about reptiles. Snakes have more reasons to fear us that we to fear them. Feel free to give us a call at 98846 13677/99 if you find one of these most mis-understood creatures in your living room instead of killing them.

I wanna sue google

I am planning to sue google. I just realized that I have been all consumed by google's services. Gmail, Google.com,blogger, orkut, Picasa and all cool crap google has been tempting me with. I lost my interest in anything "non-google". Remove time spent on google products in last 2 years of my life and all you'll have is an empty disk. I blame google.

I heard google is working with scientists on DNA data mining. I am thinking loud about what kind of technologies these crazy geeks might comeup with. If my vision is right, they are working to findout how exactly to use mouse clicks and generate human eggs which can be stored in a remote server as bits and bytes. Later when the baby is fully grown, they compress the baby with a winzip like software and deliver it to your computer. Then you can use a google-printer to take the real baby out of the system(hard copy). For having costed our social lives, I think they are liable to create such a technology. One of my "virtual" friend said he can relate more with google than with his neighbor.

Google boys, what say you??

No. It's not a cannon.

Why is Bollywood goin north and kollywood goin south?

Time and again I have been disappointed trying to catchup with an entertaining Tamil movie. I shouldn't have been in that theatre playing "something.somthing".The movie is really "nothing". To me , the whole movie was a story of a cowdung. Different types of cow dung. How it smells when it's fresh, semi-dry and completely dry. It also in depth covers the volume of shit cows can produce at any given point. and then there are few experiments like " If you have a sample of 50 cows at a place, how many times can the cows poo the same time".. Man, the movie is all (about) crap!. How much I wished the movie had atleast 50 intervals. The best moment of the movie was when it actually got over.

Diva, a noted scientist in our circle conducted an experiment and is gonna submit his findings to "World's best scientific experiments being held in LA during Dec,2006".He dropped the "something..somthing" DVD into the tank(out of frustration) and accidentally discovered the DVD produced more bio-gas than 10,000 buckets of cowdung. The entire village now runs 500 MW plant with "something..something.." DVDs.

Now, I hate everything about cows. Even milk. My doctor says my brain has become extremely allergic to anything cowish.. He says the only cure is to watch another movie based on horseshit!

And he continued to say, " Don't worry son. Kollywood has a cure for these kinds of problems" by which he means horseshit is on the way!

Jackass - Review

7:00 PM. Heavy traffic.a tired walk . You are opening the doors and turning the lights on and you see something 10 foot long in your living room - An Aligator!!!. I am not hallucinating. This is one of the scenes from the movie "Jackass(part-1)". The movie is more like series of "bakra"s and some shocking stunts that might cause a nervous breakdown for the weak audience. Part-1 was pretty good. But part-2 and 3 have become completely obscene and not enjoyable.

I am thinking of investing into a venture like this and make a decent bakra series. BTW, Muthahar is very good at fooling people. He once called the telephone dept and spoke like an American telemarketer asking for an order. He almost got arrested for his attempt and makes a sure prospect for my movie.

Then we have Jose who is a gifted director though his movies gets aborted before it reaches the screen.He's also unfortunate that all his ideas are somehow mysteriously flicked by American directors before he gets to direct them. Everytime he watches a great movie, he comes back saying something like this "Remember, this story is mine. Andy Wachowsk stole it from me and made Matrix. " All of us whom he claims have heard him telling the story before suddenly experinece temporary amnesia and have never recalled him doing so. This upsets him time and again. rip off all the jokes and you still have a great director in him whom I can use.

Madhu(daddy) can do some dirty dancing. He's the only one capable of handling some obscene scenes without a fuss. Vj will hopefully gather us some audience in UK with Sam.

I can give myself a chance to compose music and ofcourse use Showkath as a lead-stunt artist (hopefully his recent aerobics can do some good).

Love marriage or Arranged marriage..is it like asking "Suicide" or "planned murder"?(Pun Intended*)

In Indian system, things are all scheduled. If you are 23, you gotta have a job in hand, at 25, gotto earn some decent bucks and if your tummy starts showing up, it's marriage time!!.

I might be a nerd, but I wonder if I am alone in thinking that "time for marriage" marriages sucks!.

I think if someone has not given a thought for marriage or hasn't found someone to spend their forever with , they probably are better of to be left alone. Seldom does a guy understand the dynamics of happy marriage. A guy who has been single throughout his life before marriage will soon find himself trapped in a new world where "logic" hardly matters. Imagine a nerd who cathes up an arguement with his wife..There are 2 things he can do. being rational OR just accept the fault(in most cases which is not his') and make promises so tall that would make eiffel tower look short. I speak from my observation and careful case study friends - option one is not "That is correct". As tempted as you might be in following your logic, Refrain!.

So, quit thinking you are better off with a great career. Ignorance is for sure not the bliss in this case. You are no better of than well-fed healthy goat fully grown for a divine sacrifice! .

and guys who think they are women experts, remember the application of Murphy's law "If there are 1000 types of women and if you have mastered 999 types, your wife will most likely be the 1000th type". In short, You are screwed anyways!

Open or Closed?

The board that's keeps the counter closed says "Open Here" . Place: Gangothri(chat point) in Anna Nagar!. Don't let their foolishness overlook the taste of their bhel poori.
