When I lived in Chennai, I used autos a lot and a place I needed to go to a lot was ELLIS Road. ELLIS. ELLIS. ELLIS.
Anand, who took a special interest in hailing my autos for me, INSISTED on telling the auto driver that I had to travel to ELVIS Road.
ELVIS. Like the singer.
Not ELLIS. (Ellis, like the road).
I tried many times to correct him but failed, and ultimately gave up.
Then suddenly, a few months back, I remembered he used to call Ellis Road ELVIS Road. Why did I suddenly remember this? Because I'm simply that awesome.
I said to him, "You used to always say Elvis Road instead of Ellis Road."
He said, "Yes. Because that SHOULD have been its correct name. I mean, atleast everyone knows Elvis. But Ellis? Who the fuck is Ellis? And anyway, it's Alice. Who the fuck is Alice. Not Ellis."
