| Twilight Fairy March 16, 2005 04:19 AM PST that's some jetti conversation going on here !! :) BTW I have also spent at least 3 hours per day for 5 years in travelling up and down from Delhi to gurgaon.. sheer waste, read books, but never tried 'listening' to them.. .. | ||
| Zoheb March 6, 2005 11:56 PM PST Hawa mein udta jaaye Jetti less lungi !!! I have to stop before my imagination kincks in !!! | ||
| GratisGab March 4, 2005 05:46 PM PST HAH! must be bangalore love...anyways likely that he listens to everything but me yaar (read my blog; sorry for shameless advertising) | ||
| alpha March 4, 2005 05:30 PM PST D, Gratis: Are you guys getting some commission? Can I get a share? I like this kind of advertisement...put your stuff up and say something nice about the blog author. (Hear Jammy of cricket blog fame) I am such a sucker to praise that I am going to start distributing flyers in intersections. actually if you observe carefully, same people with different names come here. sometimes I put in some 3-4 comments to boost my ego. Gratis, what doesn't your hubby listen to?! he amazes me...from folk songs to Chopin. lungi people, keep 'em flowing! hawa mein udta jaye..mera checks lungi cotton ka..ooo. | ||
| GratisGab March 4, 2005 04:29 PM PST I agree D, my girl here is famous. For someone who doesn't wear lungis herself (nor does she sell them. And Pi himself is a shorts man), look at how much interest she has stirred up!...My hubby mentioned this band too...everybody go check it out!!! | ||
| D. March 4, 2005 02:53 PM PST Way off topic, but... check www.thermalandaquarter.com out. A bangalore based band -a good one. These guys were featured on NPR radio just the other day. They have their whole album available for free on their website. Thought i should post this here alpha, since everybody..EVERYBODY seems to come here.:) Again, thermal and a quarter aside, I think you have a wicked sense of humour. | ||
| hyderabadi gentleman March 4, 2005 01:01 AM PST Yeah..wearing cheddi (= jettis in tamil) and while wearing lungi is like trying to have sex with your pants on. Yeah! | ||
| Madrasi Fisherman March 3, 2005 01:59 PM PST Lungis, similiar to the Scottish kilt are worn without jetti's, jettli's or jetta's. Please consider my word law on this matter. Kind regards. PS: Alpha, did you want pomfret or tilapia for your curry tonight? | ||
| m March 3, 2005 10:01 AM PST you forgot to add married before the older......they do call me eccentric and nutty you know. | ||
| m March 3, 2005 10:01 AM PST i didnt get to be called eccentric and nutty for fun you know....... | ||
| the fillerman March 3, 2005 07:06 AM PST Aiya Zoheb... I am cracking up at the image of Pi in a Lungi! Alpha: Lungi with Jetti provides excellent ventilation. A traditional Jetti is a Boxer like item... good airflow. | ||
| Zoheb March 3, 2005 01:51 AM PST Arrey alpha. Pi has been fooling you. Jetti is necessary with every lungi!! Cheee cheee Pi. | ||
| alpha March 2, 2005 07:53 PM PST fillerman: not bad. lungi people also read my blog. wokay pardon me, I was also wondering why people were asking my opinion on lungis. jeez! But me thought ventilation being key function of lungi, jetti hinders those very prospects. | ||
| the fillerman March 2, 2005 07:23 PM PST Christ! Yogu my man, Jetti always accompanies Lungi. Don't take the uninformed opinion of Alpha's randy mind. As a former Lungi wearer, an "awakening" or "unraveling" (the latter happens while sleeping in Lungi) is not pretty. Jetti is ALWAYS recommended except for the functions Apha had in mind. | ||
| GratisGab March 2, 2005 04:36 PM PST Aaaah! It comes back....yes indeed as a mini...when hairy-legs are in... | ||
| alpha March 2, 2005 04:09 PM PST gabby (I like Ash's nic for u): There is a talent for lungi tying without belt and undies. You could wear it as a long skirt or minis..convertible types. yogu: when men are in lungis, the women generally walk around in nighties..so awakening ka sawal hi nahin paida hota. babita: hey!! New momdom keeping you awake I see! good to see u. | ||
| Babita March 2, 2005 02:54 PM PST That last was by me. Forgot to put my name. See what lack of sleep does :D | ||
| Name March 2, 2005 02:53 PM PST Jetti, Jati :-)). Thanks for the wishes Alpha! | ||
| Yogustus March 2, 2005 02:32 PM PST You don't wear Jetti under lungi??? What happens if there is an "awakening"? According to my unassailable logic, the lungi should unfurl. | ||
| GratisGab March 2, 2005 12:35 PM PST alpha, is that true? i thought jetti,belt everything is needed..? | ||
| alpha March 2, 2005 12:03 PM PST yogu: No jetti when wearum lungi. bery=Bihari not Tamil. Toinksy: yes yes..sure it was support. Hey record Hinduism? Ainks? Wandy re, ki hal hai?! You try it..it's fun. Now I have started taking them to the gym too..only problem is I dont have a disc man, so I sit in a the gym parking lot till my workout time elapses. | ||
| Yogustus March 2, 2005 10:51 AM PST Note in Yogustus' Tamil dictionary... Jetti=Stinky Underwear. New Gaali= Jetti kaheen ka! New Song= My shirtum bery sexum, my lungi double sexum, my jetti super sexum re! | ||
| toinks March 2, 2005 12:08 AM PST Why dontcha record a lil something about hinduism? And uhm... tanx for all da support extended on aiaioh's blog. Support extended to me that is. That was support right? | ||
| wandy March 1, 2005 07:01 PM PST Never tried any ~ always thought they would be a little weird!! guess not! know a lot of people who listen to them while driving... the last bit is hilarious....:-) take care!! | ||
| alpha March 1, 2005 04:15 PM PST grati: :) chill..everything is under control. I can see the blog now..for a while I didn't see much. Thought you ran away. m: You must be the only mom I know setting up your son to an older woman. I guess me and PC will surely get along. Zo: If you hate me, tell me directly. I'll bardash it. | ||
| GratisGab March 1, 2005 03:59 PM PST Help Help.!!! Why can't you see my blog Alpha????? | ||
| m March 1, 2005 03:11 PM PST pc and you have one more thing in common- both love audio books.......hmmmmmm | ||
| Zoheb March 1, 2005 02:05 PM PST Why go for audio CDs? Try reading a good book when driving. Life is much more exciting that way. | ||
| Observant observer March 1, 2005 12:43 PM PST They are two different Ash's... | ||
| alpha March 1, 2005 11:54 AM PST Ash, (again? hmm..why question someone's absentmindedness and old age): It's really cool when the narator actually changes his voice to depict other characters.I was freaked out at first, but you get used to it. It's like your dad reading you a story all the way home. | ||
| alpha March 1, 2005 10:57 AM PST amit ji, e-books nahin, they are audio books. That is my plight. anything to save me from torturous drive. Actually you ought to give it a try. Gratisgab: Thanks thanks..if I hadn't seen a mean comment afterwards, I might have given you a third thanks. Phew! That J wasn't me in your blog. I was almost going to run and get a haircut at Dahlia's. PVS, Pallavi, Ash: jetti amused you so much, you should listen to the freakin tape man. Ariens (like in people born in April) drank Monday and brought in underwear and wind. Till then I used to think the Aryans drank soma rasa and brought to India 'Jati' and 'Varna'. I am utterly confused. Sam Sara are not 2 people, it is samsara (as in life's struggles). Phew. I am afraid of his students now. Lee: Do u have a local Library? Try Islam. Smiley: 5 hours is not a big deal when you think about the millions you make. But you know my salary? They had better let me work at home, in my bed! Patrix: You know, I will look for it. saaley kameeney... calling me kanjoos! As if you will pay for my kid's education. typepad actually looks better with all that space for pictures. will look into it. I need space..not really concerned about the looks. I compensate for that in person. | ||
| Ash March 1, 2005 10:53 AM PST Hey, cool idea :) I love reading and I cant imagine an audio substitute, but hey, its a good way to kill that road tedium. | ||
| GratisGab March 1, 2005 09:45 AM PST patrix hit the nail :-)...yes the paying part might be a bit of a deterrent for alpha...but I SWEAR it isn't her I've been ranting about in my blog today... | ||
| Patrix March 1, 2005 09:14 AM PST I dunno if such a thing exists but you could subscribe to a Netflix-like audio library...but you have to pay..ah-ha! forget, you aren't gonna do it :) | ||
| :-) March 1, 2005 04:28 AM PST Sweeites, if its any further consolidation of consolations, I just drove five hours to attend a meeting in Hyderabad, only to learn that its cancelled. Oh, did I mention that I have to drive back now, to sign a document. Yours, ever smiling smiley. | ||
| Leela March 1, 2005 01:31 AM PST Sweetie, if it's any consolation, I spend more than two wasteful hours in traffic myself! And I thought my travel woes had ended when I left Bombay. If you hear of some serious road rage incident in the Middle East, you'll know who started it. >:-( | ||
| ash March 1, 2005 01:21 AM PST wow... didnt know listening to a book would be so agreeable.. heh nice one abt jetti :)) | ||
| pallavi March 1, 2005 12:43 AM PST hahahah Jetti and Jati !!! LOLOL hey I never tried out audio book when I was driving... must try this out !! goes for a lot of entertainment I must say.. cool !! | ||
| PVS March 1, 2005 12:41 AM PST That one about Jetti was ultimate. Had me smiling for a long time!!! | ||
| GratisGab February 28, 2005 10:45 PM PST Hee Hee :-) Omigod, the Jati line cracked me up girl!!! But please keep listening.....to anything....anything to keep you driving back and forth safe and sound...minus tickets and what-not... | ||
| AmitL February 28, 2005 09:19 PM PST LOL...Twin,I was wondering whether u were referring to movies of these books..But,no,u refer to e-books.:).Can't imagine getting the same pleasure by 'listening' to a book,as you get by reading it.And,when u get books like the Hinduism one by a foreign author,all the Jettis and Varna's are bound to create a furore (of laughter,I'd think)..:)Happy further reading,err,listening. | ||
