The author originally had some stuff in here, but then quickly realized that most of what he wanted to say was already available in the column to the right of this section. So in the interest of world peace, he requests his reader
s to shift their ocular lobes 15 degrees to the right if they are interested in knowing a little more about the anti-social philistine who authors this blog.
The Avatar Chronology
July 25th, 2008: After a traumatic period of darkness when I lost access to both my gmail account and my blog, WordPress put a smile back on my face by restoring access to my blog.
July 21st, 2008: Nature decided to attend its call today. It was pouring for most of the day in Toronto, thus forcing us to stay indoors. So I finished Portal, and really felt bad for my weighted companion cube. But I did kill GLaDOS.
July 16th, 2008: Niagara Falls from the Canadian side is an amaklamatically spectacular sight to behold. It will remain etched in my eyes forever.
July 9th, 2008: Off to Toronto, Ontario, Canada (pronounced in the local tongue as Tronto, Onteiryo, Kuhnayda). For the uninitiated, the two characters in the glasses are Terrance and Philip.

I love your writing… your article on your business trip to Mumbai made me LOL!
Awesome blog! Love the writing style.

@Ramsu,
That subject deserves a blog of its own. I refuse to trivialize it by pontificating on it in a mere comment
um can u please delete that first comment?
never mind. i have no idea wtf im doing today.
brilliant post that on chennai autos ! Keep going.
Just noticed that you’re featured in the “The Best Blogs in India” from India Blogs 1.0. (http://www.labnol.org/india-blogs/indian-bloggers.html)
Then noticed that you’ve been placed under the “Music” category. While it does say a lot about how much the selectors understand the blog content, it is nevertheless a pleasure.
Because you see, your blog posts are always music to my ears!
Mahendra,
Noticed that. I was wondering why, especially when the only other blog in the music category is pretty much seriously into music, while I just use it for humour (well..attempted humour) purposes
Krishashok –
I took the time to listen to some of your recordings. Transient is particularly…evocative.
And I always love stumbling upon people who make me laugh, keep it up.
aikaterine,
Thank you
pattya kelapunga. the new set of avatars- awesome. though ‘Matter’ and ‘Gilma’ looks similar, i like the idea of visual taxonomy. ‘Jalsa’ ranks the best.
One of the best blogs i have seen. Humorous, witty and at the same time conveying your views across. Keep it up.
Ashok: Thank you very much doc
Ipdiellam naa nariya comment panren. Onnuthukkum reply a kaanam. Seriye illa idhellam.
Respect. That’s all I have to say at the moment
More detailed comments by email after getting back from office tonight. Thanks for the comment on my site.

Very nice blog.
Could I add you to my blog roll?
Ashok: Of course

I need to know how to convert your photos into vector art.. can you give me a link to a tutorial ?
u write too good. Lots of thinking going into even simple things.
thalai kalakiteenga ponga!
Best about page I have seen till date…still rolling down..great blog you have here..and wonderful writing style!..its good to see you are from chennai..
Awesome!! Cool blog you have going.
You’re a hoot. Just added you to my website. Hope you’re not offended by the name i gave you – it’s actually a compliment
Ashok, Is blogging your full time work?
If I were to write the way like you do, It would take two days for each post.
Amazing work…
Ashok: Actually, I am a part-time, but full-souled blogger, just as I am a full-time but part-souled IT consultant
Your’s is the best blog among all i’ve seen.
Really excellent and enjoyable.
Keep Rocking..!!
Jus started reading ur blog…it jus rocks chennai ashok….let me finish and then comment
cant really think enough to say anything new after all said above…your writing style is awesome
perfect in what you are doing.
i thought why not you put this
magnificent creativity into
creating something to society,
like finding an idea for mosquito
menace, garbage disposal,etc.
I know that i am not person to
delegate you and also i would be
the first person to lose a well read
humorous chap when you stop
doing this. so if you can manage
both…..
Hi KA,
It’s only people like you who keep this world going. I’m happy to see an Indian who can laugh at himself and make others laugh too! (Can’t say that for the majority here!) Do be in touch. Will be interesting to hear from you.

kumarsplanet.blogspot.com
Awesome!
Stumbled onto this blog purely by accident….And haven’t worked since the last hour and a half…sitting in my cubicle and laughing my head off…
Stumbled across you by accident and now I’m hooked. You, my friend, are ridiculously brilliant. Or brilliantly ridiculous. Yes, that’s better
Great maaannnn..!!!
Hey krish,
Im expecting an article…on iphone release in India……..?
howz tat works?
You’re bored listening to this by now, but I can’t help but marvel at the ridiculous work of art your mind is!!! I am so glad thoughts like this exist!
You are my constant entertainer when my work looks monochrome. Don’t stop writing!
Hello, Krish rembr me, once I visit ur blog and post some links regarding one site named netglimse?
Ashok: Um. Yes?
ROFL!
If u dont then …we can start it from the scratch again..what say??
Terrific Blog.. Keep it going !!
You know, I just noticed the About section to the right (after months of regular visits to your blog). The entire thing is written in the third person, except for the last line, which reads “I think I am slightly better off at doing the latter.” Making it seem like there’s another guy trying to make a fool of himself before your wife.
Really like your blog…very hilarious. I have added you to my blogroll and feed reader.
Ayyo! Wonly two avatarz aa? Put up da British sightsu mariyu Chen Igh Unreal Estate sightsu kooda.
u are awesome…i am in such a horrible pjt that the only break i tak eis for ur blogs…i was in canada too same time….why dint we meet

Terrace and Philip …lol… are you a fan of South Park?
dude – stumbled on your blog sent to me by my cousin…did you by any chance spend a couple of your schooling years in VM, myl?
Ashok: A full 6 years in VM, Mylapore
‘Ola, stumbled here. Had a real good laugh. Am not a blogger and hence will be bookmarking you!
Also, the little
on the almost top right corner is pretty cute, me thinks!
Nice blog. If I may ask, what exactly does “Doing Jalsa and Showing Jilpa” mean??
Ashok: It is explained in the Glossary section
It’s very difficult
NOT to become a fan of your blogs
and that comment was genuine one
not for appraisal thing ..
Wonderful. Hilarious. Entertaining. Thought provoking. How do you manage that in every single post of yours? Brilliant man…
hey.. coollllllllllllllllllllll

I nearly died laughing when I read your post about Madrasi in New Delhi…
)
bayangara tamashana style of writing…reminds me of vennira aadai moorthi and thengai srinivasan style of talking
Terrence and Philip ??? Wow Great to know you are a South Park Fan . Die hard fan of the Uncle Fucka song
.
I think you shoulf change your name to Gilpa that would sound better
My customer satisfaction index with “Ashok” is comfortably in the “happy” section, so thanks but no thanks
A very creative “About me” page
Well done…
Hei, Nice blog, What an extensive vocabulary, did miss the word “silphons” tough.
Have been ROFLing away due to your blogs for many months now. Amazingly, consistently funny. I too have now started to try my hand at this. You may want to check out http://www.rameshsrivats.net/2008/11/ramadoss-meets-devadoss.html
nuthin more to say after reading ur posts…I am a FAN !!
Krish,
I read your blogout to the kids this morning..about yourself , the radio ads and the punjaabi violin with a pseudo tamil accent….and they and me were howling and falling around till their father came to enqiure about the riot by the comp…and joined us , then and there, to listen to your three tracks, I like trancience best…[ I love cold play madly]and we had a moment of family bonding there…..The really big attraction that drew me to my husband in the first place was that he could keep me laughing from morning till evening without effort….a bit of history lesson there…just keep at what you are doing and your wife will glow every time she thinks of you….hope you are a distance runner. Dude absolutely loved your blog…its our[ the kids and mine] favorite blog though I couldnt get the jalsa and jilpa bit being a non Tamil south Indian. keep updating me on your latest nonsense[pronounced tanglishly]
Ashok:Thank you
fantastic!! the way you using tamil language with english in all the post is nice. i like your way of writing style!!!
..added to blogroll…
smiles
what is jilpa doing jhalsa dear?
pliss explain ..kindly.
Hi Ashok (or is it Krish?),
Absolutely amazing blog you’ve got goin’ here! Been enjoying everything from your kick-ass sense of humor to your musical creations for a bit now, but for whatever reason, only just found the disp. to stop lurking and start commenting!
Must be the new year or somethin’…
Keep up the great work!
Cheers
Ashok: Thanks. It is Ashok, although the last name-first name confusion between south india and the rest of the world has introduced some confusion over the years. So at the moment, I dont really care, Krish or Ashok is fine. My online gaming handle is “SirDinglyDang” so that’s fine too
I just wanna say……….happy fun
keep smile
god night………brother
I notice that you have a small smiley mysteriously embedded in your theme at the top right corner (Please add scales so I can add the latitude and longitudes here).
I’m not the owner of this theme and am thus not gonna sue you for any modifications, but, all i want to say is… nice…
PS: I dunno if the zillion posts have noticed it already, cuz i didn go through em, because of the limitations of effort-rewards relationship…
@Nikhil: Thatz a Universal WordPress Smiley that you’d find in almost every WordPress.com Blog embedded somewhere (differs acc. to the theme)
It is put there by the WordPress Stats plugin…the one that tracks visitors to the blog.

Hey, I liked your post about swamijis and science. You and your readers might like this video that a friend sent me. It’s a Bollywood version of an iTunes spot. Keep up the good work reporting!

I love reading your posts.. They are creative, witty and extremely hilarious! You are always on a roll! Keep posting!
I’m highly amused. Writing and the colours.
Maybe I’m easily amused.
Or not.

Just wanted to make you aware about The MovieManiax Awards initiative to recognise ’08 Hindi movies, idea is to take blogosphere opinion as much as possible.
http://moviemaniax.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/votin…
Please vote and have your say. More about the same initiative on the same MM blog.
Hi Ashok,
you have got a great blog… sema witty, sema humor…
gr8 work with photoshop too..
I loved the Graphjams.
Why the decision to not play Carnatic, I wonder? It isn’t such a bad form of music, really.
Hi I really enjoy your blog. I am big fan of tamil penn and stumbled on your blog from there. I have added you on my blog roll. I hope that is ok?

not being blessed with perfect ocular what-nots.
Love the name of your blog! Looking forward to reading all of it!

Hi Krish,
Dunno if u remember me.. we were together in MIS and did play a bit of cricket together.. Was reading ur article in cricinfo cos i ‘m bit of a cricket buff like most indians so i follow the cricinfo website regularly… got ur web address from there..
I liked ur article.. fairly well written i have to say… keep up the good work matey..
if u are who i think u are… keep in touch chap…
so long…
Yzudhamanyue Sarkar
I do vaguely recollect someone with the surname Sarkar, but the Russian sounding first name escapes me
ahhh well… no worries buddy… seem a lil bit strange that i remember u with a common name such as urs and u dont remember me with a russian name like mine..
u were in my section too (E) and were the quiet type back then anyway…
i never saw u play cricket though cos i was the captain of the class team… funny considering u write about cricket as though u played it fairly well… anyway keep up the good work..
hope u go well in life bud…
ciao
Upto now I thought blogs were written by people who nobody wanted to read and the web was this monstrous creation that enabled them to reach out and inflict unspeakable damage on the sensibilities of those who had no escape. Tenk you for restoring my faith in humanity!!!
You go bonkers, absolutely crazy! kindred soul to David Seadaris ?
Keep on blogging.
hi! would you be interested in writing articles for a men’s lifestyle magazine? Pl mail
You are awesome dude..way of depicting things rocks. Liked the bit about PMSMT, Rules. Too good.
A fan.
I read your post about the Cricky the Goose, nice and thoughtful…I totally agree…I had a similar opinion which I posted even at the beginning of the last IPL season (I call it the IBL)…hope you find it interesting too: http://indiaeveryday.blogspot.com/2009/05/indian-betting-league.html
What a blog! And what a fan following! Adding you on my Reader rightaway!
Oh and you are a passout of DCE? Me your faithful junior!
Whats Original from you? If you dont have anything to say its absolutely fine. Its piece of cake both of us share.
In an offensive sense: A product of Nehru. A product of complacency
Hi KA,
I love your blog. Its just fantastic. I was looking for some articles regarding “hatred towards Chennai” and thats how I got to your blog. What you did about the LP article was fantastic. I am adding your blog to my blogroll and hope to become a regular visitor on your site. Keep writing

Anyway, please continue the jalsas and the jilpas.
Hi there Kirsh… just bumped into ur blog while randomly surfing the net…
hope u remember me … i also do hope you are the “right krishashok”
Hi Ashok
First time I am visiting you .. and thoroughly enjoyed myself.. would I be mistaken in sensing a Wodehousian streak in your writing style ? Positively hilarious stuff reminiscent of PGW !
Kaushick

Impressive vocabulary, ‘Gilma’ is missing.
