A couple of days ago, Raghu called me a COP. Apparently, it stands for Chennai's Ozhungu Pillai.
I don't know what made him get such an idea, but I guess he was probably swayed by my general stance against piracy or sticking to road rules to the max extent etc.
So, he was naturally offended when I told him about my intention to watch Sivaji with the ticket price costing me Rs.350/-.
Unfortunately, I think he is under the impression that I bought a "black" ticket. I better clarify to him that its not the case.
Actually, I am only buying the tickets at a premium, and the cost also includes service charges. I am being given the tickets in the office tomorrow and from the theatre to my office, its at least 60 kms. So the guy has to factor in the cost of delivering the tickets to me.
Its just like the earlier days when we used to have the travel agents book railway tickets for us.

We had an accomplice in our earlier life, who lives in the US these days. I want you to recall his face moments after you make the statement about agencies and transportation. The word I am looking for goes, "mmMMaHUMMM" with an extremely prejudiced twist of the lips to micro-millimetres from either the left or the right ear.
