Sivakasi

You've got to be really stupid if you dont know where Sivakasi is.. And, if you don't, GOOGLE it. But, what i can say is, its a blooming one horse town. Do not even think about coming here.Well!! This is coming from a person who has lived her whole life in Sivakasi. We.... the Sivahasssians,

  • eat BROTTAS  ( for all you city kids, its PARATHAS) and CHAALNA (which is an oily curry, concocted with body parts i cannot name... Google HAGGIS and you'll know). It is pretty delicious though and addictive. People actually drink it like soup here. But i do suggest an orange pill after some fiery SIVAKASI CHAALNA.
  • sleep
  • work ( we dont have weekends. Don't mistake us for workaholics. It is just that we do not have anything else to do )
  • gossip ( which usually centers around "who is seeing who, who is doing who, who should be doing who, who was doing who and is not doing anymore"...
  • bitch.. I don't even want to get started on this...
  • booze ( cock-ey tails which look like mock-ey tails)
  • little escapades to the big bad city 
  • go for weddings (which happen all the time)
  • drive swanky cars on roads made for dirtbikes 
  • orkut 
  • are hypocrites ( the women pretend to be nuns and the men pretend to be saints)

We do all of the above, not neccessarily in this order. I am guessing you get the general drift here...Sigh!!

And for all you PEOPLE ( I am talking about the fraction who cannot and will not live survive without a neighbourhood coffee shop and your pasha's and dublin's, the " i can't imagine life outside Madras" and the inquisitive dimwits who pester me with asinine questions )

  • YES, Sivakas is a GAON
  • NO, we do not have barista or mocha (both of which i detest).
  • NO, we do not have malls or spencers (Sivakasi is the size of spencers)
  • NO, we do not have clubs
  • NO, we do not the have ECR ( we have Sunset boulevard which is used as a communal comode )
  • NO, we dont have raves
  • NO, we dont have Thai food
  • NO, we do not have ANYTHING!

Lacking all of this doesn't make Sivakasi a shitty place. At the end of the day, with all the bitching and the whining and the complaining, I love Sivakasi! I know, i am a walking, bitching , contradiction. Sigh!!!
