Mylapore to Mandavalli via Miami was the first satire from tinmoorthy that appeared in an Express Paper, long time ago. Tin also did the drawings for that piece (otherwise nobody would buy that MSS). The lead man appeared like (Sir) Richard Burton and the heroine Liz Taylor -- (only those caricatures were readily accessible!) The readers liked that stuff -- mainly because their palates had never been treated to such tastes before

How a Script (for a film) is Made -- was outrageously hilarious, developing naturally -- to the epic of Shakuntalam -- from a boy-meets-girl vein -- through a generic formula. Ready to use Correspondence threw readers on the floor rolling with laughter. It almost threatened to dismiss the snail mail

The art of inflicting suspense to an otherwise mundane (mega) serial formed the theme for yet another number. Mythological Endorsements featured in another piece

Fortunately you will not see any of them in this collection -- mainly because they have not been rendered machine-readable yet. This collection has a mix of articles that are either intellectually hollow or pseudo! Many of them appeared in a Hindu Daily or in the Telematics Magazine of India. The content relates mostly to one flavor -- that of communicating -- in its evolutionary phase, in a subccontinent.

If you enjoyed going over them please do drop a line
