Tamil-o-meter...

Furthering the Tamil cause - whatever that may be- babies that are given Tamil names will get a gold ring. But they have to be born in government hospitals.

Wonder who will decide the Tamilness of their names? Next thing is to budget money to draw up a list of 'Tamil' names and then some idiot can get their 15 minutes of fame by objecting to the non inclusion or inclusion of some name. We could even make Tamil named babies a special status group like SC/ST. And all of us Tambrams with Sanskritised names should consider heading to the gazette office and changing our names. Maybe they can give us silver rings for at least having 'Indian' names.

I dub thee...

The cse leddies have a new name, an alias - it is decreed that they shall henceforth be called

Our Ladies of the Phone

You know, like Our Lady of Velankanni or for a more international example - Our Lady of Guadeloupe.

And so they shall be known while they continue their illuminating conversations:

Hello? Hello? HELLO! Poonam talking here. POONAM. HELLO? Can you hear me? HELLO. Who is this? POONAM talking here.

And so on....
