Dedication: To all the "All-in-all azhagurajas"** in my peer group and to the only such person we know: Madhu
"Take it easy dude. I'll solve your problem" is the favorite line of the all-in-all azhagurajas. No matter what your concern is, they have a suggestion. Sometimes they do give wonderful suggestions to their peers like "Try out Coorg* for an adventurous outing. It is a good place" and "Don't take the bus route between Mountroad* and Guindy* today, there is a procession. Take the suburban train". What is best about these people is that they pro actively contact you and give you a few tips with their vivid imagination guiding them to do so. For example, one day Madhu, my cousin called me at 6 a.m.. I woke up from my sleep and took the call with a sleepy hello. I was kinda wondering when he said "Charge your mobile phone..It's battery is going to drain".."how the hell he is saying that when we live at least 15 kms apart and haven't met in the past 1 month?" and to my surprise the phone was indeed running out of battery charge. We cousins kinda keep making fun of Madhu all the time and also conferred the title "Ellam Therinjavan ( the guy who knows everything)" on him. So whenever we have a problem we call him. Like the other day, Madhav, another cousin, had lost his wallet and was searching for it for about 5 minutes. Suddenly he realized "why take the pain?" and called Madhu to locate the wallet for him :)). Despite all the fun we make of Madhu, he is a sport and never tries to underplay his habit of sharing knowledge with others. Hats off to you Madhu.
* Coorg, Mount Road and Guindy are towns in Southern India
**Note: "All-in-all Azhaguraja" is a phrase which defines a person who is adept at everything he does.

1. Check every posiible news site starting with MSN, Times of India, Indian Express, BBC, CNN, Yahoo, Google, Hindu, NDTV,...
2. After one hour of browsing and pretty much the same boring news on all the sites, start at the top again, its News, there ought to be something new
3. Check India's cricket score in one site.
4. Check the next site knowing very well it will have the same score
5. Repeat step 4 until you accept India lost
Hi Ram,
that was funny. I believe this comment is intended for the post " Thou shalt not sit in front of the computer".
