There are some patriots left (Part One)
No one had any high expectations from Mangoville’s sellout media and thugs like Rickshaw Rowdy who have quickly jumped ship and joined forces with the invading aliens. Our poor Supreme Leader is caged in a dungeon by the beer swigging alien lord who seems to be getting increasingly comfortable here. With their superior technology and…

Fruity Farookh opens a restaurant
After I won entrepreneur of the month award, Mangoville State Bank offered me a loan to start a restaurant, even when I didn’t ask for one. They said “take it, we don’t even open accounts for anyone until they perform 108 surya namaskars in front of us and here we are at your doorstep with…

Mojo Mahalingam answers tough questions
I want to put all speculations to rest. There has been a lot of talk about Mangoville being hostage to crony capitalism, that it is an oligarchy or a plutocracy. I don’t understand any of these terms. Writers keep coming up with new ones all the time and it is difficult to keep up. Aunty…

AI in policing: Macho Murugan steps up
Supreme Leader is after my life. He wants to know how we can leverage Artificial Intelligence to create a better policing experience for citizens . I don’t know what he means by that. Using so many complicated words in a sentence when I am just B.A. pass. People don’t want to experience police. They want…

Before Professor took charge, the department was infested with fools who promised economic management but their policies led to disaster, one by one, with each policy resulting in the exact opposite of…

Job hunt lands Susie in trouble
Ever since I helped Macho Murugan rescue Baby Malini, I have been flooded with congratulatory messages. And marriage proposals. This is what our resident Five Rupee Troll had to say: Oye Sooji, I am your biggest fan. I am liking dashing women like you who kick ass of Rowdies. You are definitely my type. I…

Saving the environment
I have been alarmed at reports indicating a sharp rise in the average carbon footprint of the citizens of Mangoville. The extremely high IQ and analytical folks at the Bureau of Retrofitted Statistics have alerted me that we are among the worst polluters on the planet and soon Mangoville will be unliveable. They go on…

Growing up by eating out
My earliest childhood memories of eating out without parents is that of eating Samosas at Chandu Sweets. To be specific, eating two Samosas with two types of chutneys at Chandu Sweets, which was a nondescript, blink-and-you-miss hole in the wall about 10 minutes walk from my house. An open gutter flowed alongside the shop (to…

Rolling in Kodaikanal
Dear Chechis and Chettas, Since I was a child my wife Aliyah has been telling me to take her to Kodaikanal. I am not exaggerating. We were not married that time, in case you are wondering. She was my neighbour in Champakulam village, Alleppey district, and we also went to the same school. Now you…
