India’s Funniest Blogger

If you do a search for “India’s Funniest Writer” – OK so don’t just rush off to do the search right now – you will come across a site called http://ouchmytoe.com. It is run by this delightful writer called Jamshed Velayuda Rajan. In the interest of the mental health of the masses, he has allowed himself to be called Jammy. He explains in this post

Call it my father’s patriotism (which comes from spending 32 years in the Indian Army) or my bad luck but my name represents four prominent religions of India – Parsee, Islam, Hinduism and Christianity. Jamshed is the Parsee & the Muslim bit. Velayuda is the Hindu part and Rajan, a Mallu Christian name. Am glad my father never forced me to wear his name ahead of mine. Otherwise, would not have written entrance exams for – PM-PD, AFMC, JIPMER, IIT-JEE – for the sole reason that the slot for the candidate’s name on the forms had only 28 squares but my name would have had 29 alphabets.

But the piece I loved and am recommending that you read is this one on Maggi Noodles. If someone from Nestle is reading this, then you guys should be paying Jammy (… ummm and me ) for this. Click here to read the piece.
