0n contact, contacts and more contacts!
<chennai was freezing cold and constantly raining, when i landed. hence decided to call off all other engagements for the next couple of days, till the weather situation improves! - what other excuse do i need, to stay indoors, comfy and warm?>
initial idea was to share some thoughts on 'contacts building' with a fellow monger via the pm (yes, the monger gets one contact with potential to turn into multiple contacts!). then it was decided that it can as well as be a posting, if some n00b can get the 2 cents worth from this. (another chapter for monger's handbook!)
getting the first p!mp contact in chn (or for any location in the world, for that matter!) is always the easiest - locanto, craigslist, the n-number of advt/escort websites, from the friendly auto/taxi walah, where you carefully craft your conversation, starting with the climate, to massage parlors and to some reliable p!mp contacts operating out of safe and nice location (yep. you have to insist on the keywords - 'safe' and 'nice' - upfront, to make it clear to the driver that you have a 'reputation' baggage to worry about!) or even from the room boys.
[b]step-1[/b]: in majority of cases, the p!mp will be operating with contract gals... and the reality is that none of these gals can connect you into independent local contacts, who will give you quality experience, without setting your wallet on fire (you have to have the cake and eat it too! - tough, but, possible!).
however, if you have a keen understanding of the business model, you will realize that the contract gals often stay with multiple p!mps during the contract term, before they return to their native place (with a fistful of rupees!), and they will be the first step toward building an often light-on-wallet-damages p!mp contact list. (make sure that the gals do your direct intro to the p!mp, rather than giving you a dud number, or you having to go thru a pretty complex introduction yourself, when you call the p!mp directly - been there, done that, many times! - sometimes, with sweat running down the back of my spine!).
[b]step-2[/b]: it starts with the realization - how long will you hump the contract gals, even though they come in all size, color and shapes? - the basic quality of illiterate and from being a very economically poor background is always an understatement with contract gals!
once you have couple (half-a-dozen or more!) of p!mp contacts, you would quickly get an idea of the p!mps 'reach', after couple of runs (they often brag!). drop a hint (or you can be upfront with your friendly, customer-oriented p!mp) , that you are interested in local gals. put additional pressure on the p!mp saying, you will do the regular feature in ind!an parl!ament (a.k.a walk-out), if the looks and spec are not good. the p!mp will always increase the 'probable damages' for the local gal; just agree to it, as it can always be neg-ed back to your comfort level, once you see the "gem" or "coal" in person.
[b]step-3[/b]: ask for an introduction to her 'friends' with the local gal(s), after doing some basic checks (listen carefully to her story for disconnects in the narration - it is often a skill that will not come overnight!). it might also cost you an additional lunch or a dinner, if the gal is not a pro. (she will also be cross-checking on your wallet heaviness, and you being a gentleman, true to your word).
now, your probability of getting gems are much better than when you started in step-1. (caution: be ready for some nasty setbacks and surprises - like walking into very traditional looking families, getting intro into some society ladies and clubbing (not the medical condition!) gals, - but all these will require time, money and effort, your restraint in not to start trading your contacts with t, d and h, as soon as you get them (keep your close mongering friends informed!), and the ability to 'bolt' away, almost as fast as 'u bolt', at the slight hint of trouble). - and yes, just like in real life, for the monger side also, the well groomed, power dressed and athletic looks, always changes equations in your favor.
[b]step-4[/b]: it depends on how well you understand and connect step-1 thru step-3. :)
@fellow senior mongers: any other insights or other 'patented' standard operating procedures?
Good Resorts in Chennai / OMR
Hi,
Anyone can suggest good resorts in Pondy / OMR.
How will be the celebrations in Chennai for new year. Is there any places for good cultural programmes on the occassion of new year.
Cheers.
So, here is # 2000 for Madras, hurray!
Let's see, maybe with mine being # 2000, may I suggest that we invite Maggie and her pals for lunch at the Raintree Restaurant, discuss their extensive work and then take things from there? Plenty of Madras champions to join would include you Peter, AllSaints, King Prawn, Andana, and fellow Bengeluru folks like Oorvampu, Bangind to name just a few. Good counting, Maggie. Thanks.
[QUOTE=Margaret Brown]Madras will soon hit the 2000 mark. Are you guys going to celebrate this landmark? [/QUOTE][QUOTE=Peter Patros;1101236]Should we? If so how? Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
Congratulations AllSaints
Well done, dear Sir. Your contributions have been very good, even for people like me who look at other aspects of this very old social activity. Further, let me assure you that you will not see me stand as a prosecutor anywhere for this activity because as an ultra-Liberal I do believe I human freedoms and the chance for every human being to realize full potential, and frankly I am all for making this legal for all consenting adults.
And Peter, you are right about the many places that you can get excellent South Indian fare in Madras. I was only commenting upon the recommendation already made by Slo and my view about the Raintree's ambiance.
[QUOTE=AllSaints;1101611][B]And here's post# 200! [/B][/QUOTE]P. S. : We all know how the Courier Font got into your post, don't we?
Ah, the Lion City resident
Welcome back, my Village Gossip. Yes, that would be an interesting study if it was not for the simple fact that the business is fully legalized in the Lion City state. The "November-March" pairings that you see around (as older men with very young women are called) is due to one strange fact about Chinese women in South-east Asia. For them skin color is a big deal and the kinds of guys you see take full advantage of that. Factor some amount of "kiasu behavior" into the mix and you have the study complete.[QUOTE=Oorvampu;1101875]Ms MB, you might want to study that as well. And I have seen may by 60-70 year old Caucasians roaming with some local looking chic who look just 20-25, holding hands, hugging spanking, not just one or two but hordes of them. This is an experience for me as I never saw such things in my travel to the US, Europe and in India.[/QUOTE]
P. S. : Respond to this and you will reach the 100 count mark. Congrats!
