KLK Visits Utsav 2006

That's KLK in handsigns, you blind bat!

The KLKillahs decided to visit Utsav Deepavali Street Parade 2006 last weekend and through our avid members of the KLKlan and KLKonning talents managed to snag an exclusive invite to the backstage portions of the event. Here we produce our KLKlandestine Invite for proof [all images were uploaded in a tiny size for readability, feel free to right click and open in new tab / new window to view them in their original dimensions]:


This was not the only KLKoup we manged for the night. More of that later. For starters, due to our penchant for YIndian timing, the KLKillahs arrived on the scene a good half an hour after proceedings had begun. The good seats had already been taken and the crowds had thronged the fronts of the barricades to catch a glimpse of the early items. By good seats we don't mean invitation only stadium bleachers and tentages but balancing precariously ontop of barricades, on the roof of lorries and other elevated vehicles and from the windows of the surrounding residential units. We were very depressed that many foreign workers had already procured such VVIP seats but still we didn't let that dampen our mood.

What we couldn't figure out was if the barriers were meant to keep out human beings, what the hell was this 2-wheeler doing there? Keep out a bulldozer? Or some crazed maniac attempting to ram the barriers down with his Bajaj Pulsar to get to his equally crazed KLK girlfriend because "Good kudumba kuthuvilakkus shouldn't dance in public"?


Nevertheless, KLKillahs attempted to utilize ah_neh's height and Praba's ability to locate lobangs in the crowd to snap a few mugshots of Veerapandiya Kattabomban.

As we proceeded on our recce of the area, we also spotted a few good Samaritans who are doing a good service to the YIndian society by filling their stomachs and quenching their thirst. First up, the Utsav Food Stall run by volunteers from Mariamman Temple.

Next, presenting the oasis in the desert, every KLK events front-running sponsor, Tiger Beer. Tiger Girl not included free with every can purchased.

Tiger Girl turned her back on realizing we were capturing them photographically. It worked out for the better because her back was much more attractive than her front. No wonder there was no queue at this outlet.

We decided to show off our photography pan-the-KLKamera techniques by showing you the lighting that spans Race Course Road. And of course, due some insider tipoff about a bullock cart being featured in one of the items, we went to look for that 4 legged slave that would be pulling the cart. The picture was taken just before Praba went for a joyride on the featured bull. Needless to say, twenty stitches and three pints of blood loss later, he won't be wanting to "ride" anything or anyone anytime soon.

We are always on the lookout for new talent. And these three sisters dressed in matching outfits were swiftly recruited into the KLKlan. They gamely prodded us to take a picture of them although we were more interested in the stilt walkers before us. Still, for the sake of that devilish diva on the extreme left, we had to. She had flair, that young wun.

We weren't quite sure where we had seen these old Chinese men complete with cowboy hats and band instruments. Though after a few minutes of inspired discussion we were KLKonfirm - chop - guarantee they definitely had ample experience to perform after all the Chinese hearses they've followed behind playing.


To avoid keeping you in too much suspense, KLKillahs is proud to present its second KLKoup of the night. Yes, this blog has had much viewership with all youse lusting over our precise, surgeon-like incisions on the whole Miss Vasantham saga. Miss V finalists also had an item in Utsav and we were most interested to crash the participants' holding area to ambush the contestants using our procured invitation.

What they didn't know prior to our arrival was that we had 1 KLKillah sitting, schmoozing and observing each and everyone of them upclose and personal. Yes, the KLKillahs had enough foresight to send in our very own Eshvanya to lead the contingent in their parade. Esh and KLKlan ally Shini, under strict confidentiality agreements, managed to infiltrate the contingent and serve as their fore-runners by holding the banner for the contingent. As the KLKillahs pride ourselves on being masters of irony, behold the photographic evidence, we are ALWAYS two steps ahead [literally too]. What can we say, we love to lead the way.

The back shot. Race Course still has no idea of the KLKillah invasion.

Shini with hands on hips going "WTH, start la start la!".
Esh going "Damn that ah_neh, make me hold banner, it's time to KLKick ass!"

However, we would like to thank all the Miss V girls for gamely posing for this group shot. Whether or not you knew we were KLKillahs, it was a nice gesture and we thank you. Praba of course managed to un-flash a flash-equipped KLKamera and thus we are only left with this one good shot. Enjoy.

The Miss V girls were also hot property with the crowd. It was wolf-whistles galore.


To view the rest of the photos unpublished here, get to our Flickr HERE. We also have videos of the Miss V girls getting it on for the crowd, get to our YouTube HERE for Part 1 of 6. Use, search user's videos to get to the other parts. Each part is only a coupla seconds long because some members of the KLKlan, not us, conveniently forgot how to work high technology like a 3G phone.
