@Aak Thanks Aakash. it was fun writing it! You need to change your job twice a year - and time it around the 2 FFCs
@Wizardprince Slight correction on 3c) above.
Naturalization can happen by becoming an RCB Fan on this site and being a regular visitor & contributor. Just the way you are. You are already naturalized :-)
But if you are single, you are most welcome to mingle with the fairer gender amongst RCB Fans here! With their permission, of course!!
@Natasha Looks like this youngish crowd here has 2 important needs: a) Romance b) Jobs
Maybe you should consider setting up separate tabs for these two!
I can't help on a) but I do need a good DBA -Oracle 10g or SQL Server 200X
Lemme know if you can help!

@Natahsa That's a nickname given by Nidhi. I gladly accepted that till I found out that there is only romance and no honeymoon associated with that nick :(
@Natasha Thanks for your compliments! My daughter is a media student and for having taken a dig at media pros, I am scared to tell her about this post! Luckily cricket is not her craze and she hasn't visited the site for sometime now.
Enjoying Peace@Home
@Natasha Read the beauty pageant analogy in your blog. I honestly believe the most beautiful don't participate in pageants! Take our own Deepika Padukone for example

RCB spider eh? why is that his nickname? explain again??
natasha@RCB on 27 Jul 2010, 03:04 PM
@natasha He never applies for things, but accepts any invitation coming his way. The only way to get him writing as a chief blogger is to ask RCB management to invite him to write :) If i were a blogger, I wouldn't mind having no blogger category because Raghu owns it! We call him the RCB Spider for no other reason :)

Raghu!!! this is awesome!!!! Why arent yu applying to FFC?? YOur imagination is amazing!!! DO you have your own blog too?
natasha@RCB on 27 Jul 2010, 01:22 PM
Dear Raghunath,
You have put me in August company :P (SoniaG, Jayalalita, Rajnikant).
There are a lot of unnaturalized RCBians, who are the most fanatic fans :). I guess Bangalore's team, is not just Bangalore's team anymore :).
Btw, I won't mind naturalizing in Bangalore by the 'marriage' method. :)

@Disha Thanks - it took 2 hours to write last night and was fun writing it!
The girls don't know about FFC3 yet - looks like they haven't been to the RCB site for sometime now!
@maddydravid - Different people have understood this post differently. Not understanding is 'another shade of understanding'.
You have to follow the 'seasonal undercurrents' and next time you'll understand!

Interesting comments to see on a Monday! Makes Mondays easier to bear :-)
@Sumanth - Thanks. Oh, there is no dearth of brides and grooms in this world for anyone. It is the meeting ground that has to be found or created.
@Kunal Thanks. If RCB FC can be compared to Dimple, I am like Kamal Hasan in Saagar! Want to but Can't, want to but Won't, want to but Shouldn't, want to but Will I? want to but Will She? I will however try to join the "O Maria" chorus and pick up the hankey without getting my hands under anyone's dancing shoes!
@Wizard - hehehe ... everything is seriously said, in the backdrop of a landscape created in jest!
@dravia - Brilliant observation. I have copied the Indian Citizenship rules - which isn't unfair anyway! SoniaG has been given a place in the hearts of a billion people - because she knows how to earn the place (by a combinationof 3c and 3d above), keep it and be respected for it.
See how well Jayalalitha, Rajnikant have all carved a niche for themselves in Tamil Nadu - who in TN bothers about their Bangalore roots, so long as they are loyal to TN.
Or WizardPrince for that matter - I appreciate the way he stays tuned to RCB.
If you are in too much of a hurry to "get accepted" as a RCB Fan, I suggest you find a female RCB Fan and marry her! You automatially get it!!

Nice piece of banter Raghunath. Like I've always said give FFC a shot. :-)
And I second Kunal,your girls would be proud.

Dear Raghunath,
I admire your writing skills, which you have amply demonstrated here. However, I hope it is written only in jest and no part of the maverick's suggestions, are your actual beliefs. I say so, because quite a few of the suggestions are actually ill-tasted and miserable.
Regards,

Where have these posts been? Love the introduction, three brides looking for three grooms :) Sirjee, I'm a fan!
So are we going to see you register for FFC this time atleast? I'm sure Anil and Ray would love to have you in their ranks. It's only for 16 days, I'm sure your clients will understand, and your girls would be proud! :)

Great article ..but if the rules are implemented then the brides will never get married...

@maddydravid
Sorry dude, you got up too early (before the censors did) and got a sneek peek at this. This post may be slapped with a "A" or "UA" certificate soon!
You need to be above 18 to read this. If you are, I'm sure you're pretending!

The King of Great Times is again looking for 3 grooms for his 3 lovely daughters. And like in the folklore tales we’ve heard of and grown up with, the King wants to leave the choice to his daughters!
After two not-so-successful “relationships” with brilliant men, Team RCB, RCB Management and RCB Fan Club, the brides, are looking for 3 prospective grooms with the promise of an unforgettable honeymoon in an exotic location! And not to repeat the mistakes of the past, this time they are looking for 3 men from the common people – “hoi polloi” as some would put it – who will pamper them with their time, love and affection, if not wealth.
You don’t have to be rich as in bank balance but you do have to be rich … but in what … is the million dollar question!
Passion for RC? Passion for Kingfisher? Passion for Bengaluru? Or just passion for writing, clicking and talking?
I thought it would be nice if RCB Fans, the prospective “Guests” at this wedding, can suggest the kind of grooms the RCB brides should look for!
Here are my maverick suggestions:
1. Don't look for anyone "employed" in IT companies - for their employers, 100-200 manhours have been lost and @2-4 extra manhours per day, it will take out all their energies. You can rest assured that they've kissed goodbye to RCB Fan Club, save the summits for more awards, adoration and adulation. I don't blame them but their employers (and jealous bosses who have been to Paris a dozen times but didn’t get time to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa). But it does upset other fans.
2. Don't look for anyone "employed" or on the verge of "being employed" in the media industry – their employers will never let them contribute again to RCB site because 'every ounce of creative juice belongs to the employer', to be sold at a price. The juice neither belongs to RCB nor can it be given away, free!.
Sorry Aneesh, not directed at you personally, but you know, it will be interpreted by many that way! Maybe if I am provoking you to wake up from your slumber, it may be good for you! Like you, I enjoy writing, and this time I am pre-qualifying my statement so that there is no hard feelings between us!
3. Don't take anyone whose RCB-loyalty can be doubted. Like citizenship, RCB loyalty can be attained:
a) By Birth (where else but Bengaluru and Karnataka and Andamans and Goa and etc etc but not Chennai or Hyderabad or Mumbai or Delhi or Jaipur or Punjab or or Kolkata and now add Kerala and Pune
b) By Descent - ie Dad or Mom was born in Bengaluru or Karnataka or in places other than those mentioned above)
c) By Naturalization - by living in Bengaluru or anywhere else in Karnataka or in any other place than those competing places mentioned above for a period of (how much ... 24 hours? 24 days? 24 weeks? ...)
Remember, one of the jury may ask a simple question: "Nimma Maney Elli" ? Dont say "Kannada Gothilla". Just say "Basavanagudi" or "Jayanagar" or "Banashankari" and you would have scored a few runs, though not the winning runs!
d) By Registration - via marriage to, or romance with, anyone who qualifies under a), b), c) above. Here marriage, romance etc does not necessarily mean of one human being with another; it could also mean of one human being with a 'lovable entity' (like RCB
Pre-planned flings, one-night stands do not, however, qualify as romance!
4. Don't look for professionals in the respective fields – if they are looking at you only for sublime perks and no hard cash, how will they take care of you after the honeymoon?! They can't - and that's why they will leave you!
Note:
a) Polygamy is not allowed
b) Multiple relationships are not encouraged
c) Those who had married (once or more) and have “abandoned their love” are not eligible, though we shall not stop them from trying – we know, the attraction of honeymoon in an exotic location is irresistible
d) Those who have abandoned their love because they feel 'it is they who have been first abandoned by their love after the last honeymoon' also cannot apply - the matter will be referred to a higher court and judgement can be expected only after the general public have forgotten the case. Public memory in the RCB Fan World, unfortunately, is very long!
e) After two 'not so successful marriages' (or was it just a 'relationship'?), they must have learnt their lessons! The traditional order of “Romance, Marriage and Honeymoon” will be replaced by “Romance, Honeymoon, More Romance, More Honeymoon”
Yes, if a couple has decided to not have kids, a long live-in relationship is probably more long lasting and cherishable than a prison called “marriage”.
5. Conclusion:
This effectively means Sandeep, SivaAN and Yours Truly are the only 3 who can qualify! Yours Truly would love to, but can't! He’s married and not looking! Loyal and faithful too.
Over to you all to throw your hat into the ring.
6. Tailpiece:
Wanna watch Janbaaz with me?
But I'm no Anil Kapoor, nor his fan and in fact a diehard fan and sympathizer of Dimple - yesterday, today and tomorrow! She is Grace Personified - every inch and step!!
PS:
The author has been having a very satisfying and successful live-in relationship with RCB Fan Club for the past 18 months. No romance, no honeymoon, but the relationship is definitely intact!
