Nama Sutra: Two of a kind.

http://namasutra.blogspot.com/2015/05/two-of-kind.html

Thursday, May 14, 2015. Two of a kind. Try visualising twins. Most people of my vintage are likely to imagine a bowler hatted, walking stick wielding, black suit wearing, moustachioed imagery of two comic detectives who go by the names Thomson and Thompson. Now here’s the kicker: although they appear identical and have near-similar names, the fictional fact is, they aren’t at all twins! Can you see the games the mind plays? A cursory look at Bollywood and Kollywood will reveal the extent of predictabilit...

Nama Sutra: Panty And Friends

http://namasutra.blogspot.com/2015/03/panty-and-friends.html

Thursday, March 19, 2015. Panty is a very coy word. At least in India. It’s not to be bandied about in public. But if you’ve ever been to any of the IITs, chances are you’d have heard the boys talking about Panty excitedly as if it’s their chaddi-buddy. That’s because anyone with the surname ‘Pant’ is often addressed with this nickname! Another chap had a hairdo that resembled a porcupine which incidentally sounds like ‘Porukki Payan’ (or rascal in Tamil). From that day, his hostel mates ...A Gem of a St...

Nama Sutra: Rotten Apple Syndrome

http://namasutra.blogspot.com/2015/05/rotten-apple-syndrome.html

Thursday, May 28, 2015. What comes to your mind when you think of Veerappan? That sandalwood smuggler with the handlebar mousch, right? And what visuals fill your head when you imagine ‘Lewinsky’? Most hot-blooded men are likely to see a ‘buxom intern’ and ‘Bill Clinton’s cigar’. Let’s take one more question. If you travelled with a bloke named ‘Godse’, which historic incident is likely to cloud your worldview? The assassination of a much loved old man, no? Don’t you get what I am alluding to? Fortunatel...

Nama Sutra: Origin of Languages

http://namasutra.blogspot.com/2015/06/origin-of-languages.html

Thursday, June 18, 2015. A 1965 movie ‘Panchavarna Kili’. Is still etched in the minds of millions of Doordarshan viewers. Who can forget the epic sequence of KR Vijaya’s quivering lips over-emoting the ‘Tamizhukkum amudhendru per'. Number penned by poet Bharathidasan. Along with a liberal glimpse of the actress’s rubbery jaw and her pearly-pearlies, the song also gave us a hint of the meaning of ‘Tamil’. There are at least 770 more dialects to cover. If you lend me your ears, will be glad to leave y...

Nama Sutra: The Gender Benders

http://namasutra.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-gender-benders.html

Thursday, July 2, 2015. Bruce Jenner was the ultimate male icon. At least during the 1976 Montreal Olympics. He bested the Soviets in Decathlon and was celebrated as an American Hero and even billed as ‘the world’s greatest athlete’. Cut to 1 June 2015. Jenner smashed another record. This time as a woman. She became the fastest to clock one million followers on twitter (FYI: 4 hours and 3 minutes)! Ramesh Venkatesan would have been yet another web designer had he overlooked his urge to start dressing as ...

Nama Sutra: Being Poles Apart

http://namasutra.blogspot.com/2015/06/being-poles-apart.html

Friday, June 5, 2015. Every time someone tells you they know nothing about Poland, point them to the word ‘Schmuck’. The pejorative for a douchebag cum moron is derived from Yiddish word for the male genital organ which in turn comes from the Old Polish word ‘smok’ (meaning: grass snake). To be fair to the Poles, there’s a lot more to them than Schmucks and the stale old Polish Joke Books. The Wachowskis are a great advertisement for the country. The creators of The Matrix. The Polish language is widely ...
