Why man Why ??

There are many things in this world I don't understand. Attempting to find an explanation would probably the rational thing to do, but somehow I can't bring myself to do that. I'm too busy laughing my ass off.

This one actually came to me while reading V.I.D's blog. I found one of her posts very inspiring.

I and my friends go out for dinner to this really nice chettinad restaurant called Anjappar. There we are, ordering our Ceylon parota's, kothu parota's, chettinad chicken masala and our vanjaram fry's. This couple come and sit in the table right across ours. We pay no more attention than a passing glance. About fifteens later, our food arrives. We are busy digging in, gluttons that we are. All of a sudden, something stopped us from chewing on our food. We lifted up our heads in complete awe. The waiter is carrying tandoori naan and, from where we were sitting, something that resembled black dal.

We look at what we were eating. We look at the food on the table next to ours. Once we were sure that we were indeed in a chettinad restaurant, we couldn't stop laughing.

Exactly why would someone walk into a restaurant which says CHETTINAD CUISINE and order naan with dal ?? I fail to understand this completely.

You don't order tandoori food in Anjappar just because it's on the menu. That is like someone buying a hardcore porn movie because the movie has a nice plot. Good god man. Stop embarrassing yourself.

You know what else I dont understand, why people come to the beach ?

I stay really close to the beach - elliots beach. I love it. I will swear by it. If I spend any more time at the beach, I'll end up naming every grain of sand out there. Obviously, I spend a lot of time there and invariably so do a lot of other people. I don't want to talk about all the other people who come out there - just a select few "couples".

I am at the beach with few friends of mine. It's a nice windy evening, about 6 on the clock. We park our car, get out and enjoy the breeze. As usual, we are chatting about everything under the sun. Thats when we see it. This black maruti swift pulls up in the service lane. We are standing beside our car, which is also parked in the service lane. This car parks right next to ours - nothing strange about that. Closer look into the car, we notice a guy behind the wheel and a girl in the front passenger seat. They are just talking. About 5 mins later, we realise that the swift's engine is still running and the windows are not rolled down, obviously the a/c was still on, they are still talking.

Now you must remember that the weather was really pleasasnt that evening. Weather like that in Chennai is probably signs of the coming of the apocalypse.

5 mins later the car leaves. My friends and I are left wondering as to why those two came to the beach. Obviously, to sit in their car with the a/c on. But then, why drive all the way to the beach to do that. Am I being too dense or is there something seriously wrong with these people ?

I'm trying to come up with a witty analogy here, but cant seem to do better than the porn movie one I typed earlier. You get the picture, right.

Hey hey, I got another one. Yeah, I'm on a roll tonight. Check this out.

My friend and I are driving around one day and we see this girl on a bike right in front of us. Fairly good looking girl, I must say. She was wearing a tank/tube top, I can never tell the difference, they all look the same to me, and low rider jeans. Now, this girl was pretty tall. Okay, I am guessing you people know where I am going with this.

Sitting on the bike, somehow, prompted her top to migrate due north and her pants to migrate due south. She probably, literally, felt the chill on her spine and at the next traffic signal, she's desperately trying to defy the laws of physics.

Unfortunately she was going the same way we were and we had to stop right behind her. We can see her glancing at her rear view mirror while trying to get her clothing to stick to her will. All of a sudden, my side view mirrors are all wrong and I cant stop fiddling with the power windows. My friend also suddenly realises that his mobile phone needs his immediate undiverted attention.

Poor thing. Must've been the most humiliating sixty seconds of her life. What was she thinking ? Did she not know she was going to use a bike ? Did she not know what was going to happen ?

I guess she couldn't resist it when she saw herself in the mirror in the tight fitting clothes. Good when you are standing upright, bad for any other stance.

I don't always understand why people do the things they do. But sometimes it's just hilarious.
