so I believe in doing things differently

and it was also very happy that the

program has started on time but if you

want to know what the difference is its

start from the look this is the

difference because when I was doing

school somebody said you’ll definitely

shine at the top so I am literally

standing on the top now and even when I

had a surgery then the doctor said that

don’t worry there’s nothing insane I

told you my news is long back I knew

that there was nothing inside there

anyway coming to this punctuality

effector I was so happy that it started

on time here in India what I found was

because I’m more into satire comedy and

all that this is a total waste

they say waste of time it’s actually a

waste of watch in India everything they

say on the way so where is the gist is

on the way can I get some coffee on the

way now I’m not talking about gloom

generally so I’m very happy everything

is going according to time here and all

this discipline and punctuality

everything radge waited only for my

school days I studied in a school called

sim beats as an Anglo Indian school

actually if you get angry you say what

the bloody hell but that everybody says

what’s your bloody area where is Johnny

he’s standing under the podium with the

nail mummy that’s how they stopped the

strange way of talking so this English

fear was always there but I have thanks

in bits for the discipline although

because they started the cricketer there

a three C’s associated with me as when I

do the anchoring of shows or when I

present the panel discussions three

primary things are cricket cinema and

current affairs I deal with all this

whether it’s radio or TV or Internet I

am into all these three but the main

thing main difference this it’s always

the undercurrent is human because every

time I start something somebody

demoralizes me discourages me so the

society is always in different life I

always try to be different that’s the

reason and first in sin beads now I told

you about the anglo-indian stuff from

there I started my career as Alec

spinner

you know why I had to be different there

because the moment I went to the

selection camp I saw only fast bowlers a

fleet of fast bowlers and off spinners

so you have to be different then I

thought why not try and explain because

leg spin is a very

it can win the match for the team or for

the operands is a very rare murat bowing

of googly is a total trick is a totally

new trick so I thought let’s resort an

expense oath rule explain i came i arose

to the national level and you won’t

believe I played for South Zone universe

he’s an Indian schools ahead cuz

Shrikant as my captain most positive

captain I’ve ever played under Chris

Higgins was my captain as our Dean used

to go one Don moment a 13 West Zone

captain was Ravi Shastri we had a great

time and triggered an 81 I almost came

to the level of playing for Indian team

but unfortunately 81 March are able to

by March or April I saw all these

players other than Ravi Shastri Singh

and everybody was playing for India and

I was playing in India it was very

unfortunate something happened I goofed

up in my leg spin action probably grew

three or four inches taller

it affected my action I was not able to

raise my hand like this and ball so last

mile explain boost up the whole thing

but fortunately by God’s grace Indian

all seas Bank was kind enough to give me

a sports quota job so I entered India

knows his bank so that’s what at the

moment I entered India knows his bank

started interacting with a lot of

customers there has a banker so I also

developed my speaking skills and also I

developed the confidence in addressing

in English you know way I met an

accountant there who was worse than me

in English one day he had come along

with his wife to a cinema hall and he

had seen me there and he wanted to

address that in front of everybody in

the bank hall and he said what’s key

please come yesterday I saw you with my

wife are you guys the water what does it

mean yeah yeah yeah yesterday I ate my

weight oh you came with your wife when

you saw me there all penguin the next

week is wife gave birth to a second male

chill and that he wanted to convey in

English she came rushing to me and said

baki please congratulate me

what for I become the second father so

all these things know this English

comedy in all that was working out in

the bank then I told you I cooked up in

my licks and then I didn’t know what to

do so I just can’t do something with

this humor so brought out a joke book as

boskie jokes

I called the customer Terrace recon to

inaugurate the function he released the

first book and it and in literally I

used to go and stand in theater halls

with a stall with a joke book stall

selling each joke book for four bucks

way back probably in 94 95

and I see shaker the great dramatist he

used tunnels on the mic that you can get

boskie’s jokes and all that I used to

sell joke books fortunately for me by

God’s grace that came before the eyes of

a very great cartoonist for mr. mother

must have heard of him a fantastic

cartoonist he doesn’t need any narration

just The Strokes will make you love you

love to glory so this man saw that Joe

Coogan is Aquarian to drea right for

Arnaz a bigot and I said okay fine I’ll

read but who is going to recognize me

I’ve been writing for the past three

years not a single Joker’s appeared but

he said you just say the moment he gave

me that encouragement I started writing

and you won’t believe you know probably

about 10 to 11 years I wrote about

17,000 jokes in another world that’s one

of the most popular weekly magazines

that focuses more on humor I wrote about

17,000 jokes but the best part of it I

submitted one like jokes

the rest were rejected only 17,000 came

in another so then he grew me into film

reviewing into writing this Madras Basha

whom you must have heard of this Madras

version and Niobe reeking that’s a

normal Tamil yeah now my main idea

so wherever is opportunity not at all I

wanted a column with a that’s how they

talk that’s a Madras but that’s why I

specialized in that started writing

articles on that then I became a

columnist for an English news daily

which is called again Chronicle they

carried out my caption day-to-day

captions every day with the photograph

for six years daily that was phenomenal

something like very similar to watch

what war all that you watch on this amel

holdings so I had a lot of you for

example they introduced three eggs in

the known Meal Scheme the government’s

known mill scheme had only two eggs per

meal but they introduced three eggs so I

brought out a caption saying known Mills

came but I had three O’s in that null so

tried trying to bring about a lot of

difference here and there then as I

started writing jokes I got the offer to

do stage plays wrote about ten stage

plays also did the made main role in

those states list the last of which was

named Dada Dada I thought of something

very different

why not bring in all the dawns of cinema

for example when uniter of noggin then

Barcia Rajinikanth Barcia then the

original dawn Amitabh Bachchan then this

onion split personality supposing all

these dogs lived in a particular family

what happened so I did the role of onion

has a split personality I used to come

as

mr. Burton in the climax and conducting

the scone Banega Crorepati is called

uber Nega I’ll go potty every time you

give a correct answer you will get

Marisa or Dendi or Bombay will gift it

to you so questions used to be very

funny like in the letters ABCD up to his

head which is the first letter a a BB CC

or DD can he go for 5050 option so it

goes like that then the capital of India

is Delhi it’s located in which country

India B India C India or D India so he

used to do all the satire then I had

some offers from the advertisement field

also the great phenomenal

cinematographer PC serum offered me

three for modeling assignment so I did

hundred eyes meant also modeling also I

did and then was a big breakthrough came

in 2000 man Jaya TV was kind enough to

offer me a show called harakiri assembly

that was the show where I tried to be

different man and normally in an

interview you ask only serious questions

I thought why should an interview always

be serious why not be humorous and

satirical normally if an actor comes

they are sir which is your first movie I

used to us which was a first and last

movie sir they used to get pissed off so

one guy said I do a lot of novelty new

innovations in cinema you know what on

the screen if I show you a rose flower

you get the entire Hall is filled with

rose fragrance you get rose fragrance

everywhere I asked him do we have any

toilet scene sir so you got pissed off

so every time they used to judge so if

you spontaneously ask some question

that’ll bring out the best so I thought

why not

interview differently in this manner

then I started stand-up comedy in a

channel Vijay TV a star I did that

stand-up comedy making fun of actors – I

went to such an extent where all the

actors all the heroes assembled and they

passed a resolution saying that is

boskie steps in to the TV channel we

will not give interviews they passed the

resolution and I countered when they

asked me from the press I said supposing

all of us public we are going to bring

out a resolution saying that only smart

people can come as heroes in movies we

can never watch movies at all so this

stuff was going on and down on stand-up

comedy one side then advertisement

modelling then r.j. so every time RJ

guided about 3,000 to 4,000 shows and

stand-up comedy on Sun TV daily

breakfast so I did for about four years

that was also thousand that high degree

assembly yourselves in shows this was

also thousand short but every time I

tried something people used to

demoralize and describe me I’m going for

cricket I’m going to play a match you

won’t come it won’t come for you you’ll

also face all that you tries organizing

something one big queue will stand

high-waisted you won’t come now I’m

going into our jiaying no no you have a

natural tone it won’t come then I did

4000 jobs won’t come cricket played up

the national I’m going for acting no no

you can’t act you’re too tall for a

comedy I did about 15 movies of which 11

100 is its so again I’m going into

writing no no no column your English is

bad you can’t you won’t you won’t

Karachi what are they which means in

Tamil

it won’t come so never bother the

society will always be indifferent other

you’ll have to go like how on Buffalo

goes drenched in the torrential downpour

how I will you can’t look back so that’s

my idea do keep the only thing that’s

the best so instead of garlanding people

who encourage you and all your sponsors

keep garlanding the guy you always

straight to team always and discourage

you your arrest

thank you I will click in this field

again one guy will say ah no that won’t

be possible sorry do it take it as a

challenge so always be different because

the society will always be indifferent

to you so nowadays you know what I

present these film reviews it’s called

catch I’m with both you one friend is

also saying I love your reviews you know

how the review happens sometimes have

two movies first day first show the

moment the show is over I am before the

camera I like to address and talk about

the film but everybody does serious

reviews but I do comically for example

that link orogeny is famous film it was

about the British period about the

building of constructing of a dam you

know what was my punchline for that film

I said I thought it will be a damn good

film but it was a good damn film so they

normally they can’t tolerate nobilis

criticism they can take one guy asked

why does this guy know about cinemas

he’s just like that dripping all the

films what does he know about cinema I

asked the guy supposing you are given a

doctor’s role do you go complete mbps

and come back oh no no no you just put

on your doctor’s coat and I make one

stethoscope hang around your neck

that’s also you don’t need knowledge so

coming to the final point you know what

it’s a rajagopalachari was the first and

last Governor General when you

the days during the pre-independence

period a British lot wanted to put down

all the Indians in front of him so he

comes to the to rajagopalachari

comes near him and says mister

rajagopalachari I notice a very funny

feature among your dirty Indians you

know what you look at all the Americans

all the Americans look uniformly fair

you look at all the blacks all of them

look uniformly black look at the Chinese

and Japanese they all look uniformly in

Lewisham complexion but only you dirty

Indians I find somehow fair some are

dark and some are ten why is this ugly

difference among you wretched Indians so

rajagopalachari doesn’t get angry it

comes to the mic and says mr. Lord what

a fantastic argument let me give you an

example if you take the case of horses

you find horses are of different colors

white horses brown horses and black

horses but if you take donkeys all

donkeys are the same colors so that’s

this all these applause goes only with

such Oh goes to mr. Rajah because that’s

the advantage of instant weed you don’t

get angry so the last final it’s not an

advice because they say the best advice

comes from the worst people it is just a

suggestion every time they try to

demolish or discourage me I used to

bounce back I am sure that you would

have taken a leaf out of this book

because I am in too many fields I had to

rush through all this so in future when

I get an opportunity I will go in in an

elaborate manner thank you so much for

joining us and wish you the best success

under dr. baurel Chandler’s leadership I

think every year a new world is created

every it’s always hated with the

difference so hats off to all the heroes

and heroes and the future geniuses

always be positive in everything being

negative only in one thing in HIV don’t

be positive in there thank you so much [Applause]
