When I saw the trailor of Jungle Book 2 on Star Movies, it brought back nostalgic memories of my childhood. Collecting the pictures of Jungle Book characters present on the inside of the bottle caps used to be one of life’s important activities then. I would gulp down innumerable number of ‘Gold Spots’ (aerated soft drink) so I can get the bottle caps. I would even go to all “bunk shops” I can lay my eyes on and request ( read plead ) the owner for the caps. The reason for hunting the caps is to collect the pictures of Mowgli, Baloo, Kaa, SherKhan and other Jungle Book charater so that we can exchange the whole set for a comic book version of Jungle Book. At one time, this craze even beat the stamp collection craze. The only thing that came close to Gold Spot collection was from Thumbs Up which had the caricatures of the 1983 Worldcup winning cricket players.

You know Agni Natchatriram (the extreme heat wave) has started when you step out of the shower and start sweating even before you dress up.

Ever been to Khadims, the chain of footwear stores? There’s something amazingly unique about this place. Every shop has a mezzaine floor or atleast a prominent attic which acts a storeroom for shoes. There is a guy who is permanently positioned at the mezzanine floor. When a customer asks for a particular type of footwear, the attendant on the floor shouts to his mezzanine colleaque who in turn picks the right pair and flings it at high speed right back at him only to be snatched up with amazing accuracy. And I notice the same style of functioning in Khadim’s store in Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad and I assume its similar in all their stores across the country. I always am fascinated just looking at these high energy workers. I have a feeling that the owner of this chain must’ve been inspired by the Pike Place Fish Market in San Francisco Seattle where the workers keep flinging the fishes.
