At the age of two, Bhaskaran cracked his first joke. Asked if the auto rickshaw could go in 'reverse', he replied in all innocence, "No, it can only travel on roads."
(rivers, if you dint get it !)
The number of activities that Bosskey is involved in, is mind-boggling.
Cartoonist Madhan spotted his flair for humour and gave him a chance to write jokes for Ananda Vikatan. (Around 15,000 have been published so far !) .
The 'Mirchi-Sirchi' comic slot that he's been presenting on Radio Mirchi is more than a year old now.
He also anchored the live cricket programme, "Poova Thalaiya," for 40 days at a stretch during the World Cup series.
He's also done a couple of films.
And that's not all. He is a model too. His stage play "Oho!" and his latest comic caper "Left,Right" both had a successful run. I've been to this "Left, Right"! Simply, just too hilarious !
I remember one joke from this play.
One guy falls down while a photograph is being taken.
When asked why, he replies, "Photola naan nalla vizhanumnu neenga dhaane sonninga" ! :D
There's still more to come. The man is an employee with Indian Overseas Bank too. Sample this : A customer walks in asking for change — "Tens-a kudunga sir". To which Bosskey's standard response is, "Tense-a vendaam, Relaxed-a kudukaraen." :D
In his Hari Giri Assembly, he has interviewed nearly 700 people, all face-to-face, where several celebrities found his brand of humour a little difficult to swallow !
I remember him presiding as the chief guest for our school culturals when I was in 12th std. We kept roaring with laughter as he came and spoke for about some 15 minutes. It was then I realised how powerful this tool of humour can be ! They say 'Laughter is the best medicine !'
I can recollect one joke that he cracked during his talk.
"Be always positive. In whatever thing or work that you do....
except one...
you should never be positive in this one alone !
yeah, HIV ! "
Eavesdropping on two auto drivers, this is what he heard. They were talking about James Cameron's Titanic. After a lively discussion in typical Madras baashai, they were convinced that the celebrated Hollywood director borrowed the idea for his movie from P. Vasu's Chinna Thambi ! After all, both movies spoke about a rich girl falling in love with a poor boy!
