Only Crapping!!!

Links of Interest (hopefully, to u)

Before any formal/informal greetings, let me warn you that this is the site of a severely demented dement!!

My friends and me actually formed a club called 'The Lounge' - it is a serious club for the seriously jobless! If any of you think that you are innately unproductive; that working and u can be objectively called opposites, then u have friends in me and my fellow loungers! We are proud of our pedigree - so much so that we have a lounger named 'Dog'!

So much for that load of junk. Let me move on.

The First Spark of Madness

Note: In earlier versions of this site, I didn't introduce Kumar Alagappan a.k.a. The Dog. He is the very pride of our group, and I see it as an extreme affront to the group on my part for having omitted his name during the formal introduction. For some of his classic literary works, refer to 'Scribbles of 'The Lounge'.' 

It so happens that on a historic day (sometime in May 2004, I think), my fellow lounger - JAKS (embellished with the title of CASANOVA recently) came up with a brain-wave. A really super idea! Why not give the lounge a virtual existence? In five minutes, he was done with the new site; primitive in its appeal - had a grey background with a couple of lines of beautiful prose and a faulty link to some photos of 'yet' another lounger PS ('piss' for articulatory convenience).

I was forced, for the sake of the dignity of our esteemed clique, to tell Jaks (note, CASANOVA is an honorary title) that the site was almost perfect; but to achieve perfection, he would have to make a few refinements. Jaks heeded my advice, and in another few hours came up with a totally different/new website. So different was it in character that the original pristine appeal was to be replaced by THE COW (the lounge's symbol of wisdom and true knowledge) and forum which seemed to have entries ripped from another forum - obviously, by this time, u should realise that we support the free-software revolution - in fact, we support anything that is free!

Then came the much dreaded question of actually filling the site with content!! We were stumped! And today, another historic day (er, 6th June, 2004), I came up with a simple solution. Why not have a website for each member of the lounge, and then use the others' sites as links and other variations! This way all the sites can look full and busy, and the parent site 'THE LOUNGE' can be filled with the 'milk of human kindness' - after all we have to look after our mother, THE COW!!

HAIL THE COW!

There remains a small matter, I don't think I have mentioned my name anywhere above. How typical! Once the COW-worship starts, we loungers forget all else; including the mention of our own names as is patently obvious!

The name's Durvasula...Karthik Durvasula. Sadly, I have no lounge nick, though some loungers (one) do think that I have different modes of existence - 'the godzilla' and 'the chimp' mode.

Other important lounge members are RAGS (yep, his is a rags to riches story! he shifted to amriga, and now wonly got into GAtech, wonly), and another ASHWIN (also goes by the nicks chandu, canada boy, plump Casanova, troll... - he is Canadian by passport, but Indian by the shape of his belly - as pot as pot can get!). Btw, ashwin is the reason our symbol, but that is another story. And, there remains the mention of at least one other member without whom this list would be incomplete - THAMBI - his undying thirst for water is paralleled only by his undying curiosity for finding out all he doesn't know - his true greatness lies in knowing nothing in spite of all his thirsts - he is a true lounger!

For all the others who claim membership, I offer u my apologies. I have some hope that u will never be disappointed by this website - if u were a true lounger, u wouldn't have reached this far!

Me before dementia. I prefer calling it demention - sounds more English.

Me after demention.
