Err….

Govinda ji speaketh,
They say you didn’t give enough time to your constituency.
No one should comment like that. I stood where no one could and I did this. I will also say that I stood the ground when everyone was running. So don’t ask me how much I walked and why I didn’t run.[link]

Rain Rain!

According to the ICC, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) were unable to provide a guarantee during a teleconference on Wednesday that there would be no rains in Colombo during the tournament which runs from September 24-October 5. (emphasis mine)[link]
I wonder if SA board can provide a guarantee that there wouldbe no rains in SA during the [...]

Who Will Pay me?

Hey, I do all my work too!!!!!
The daily grind of looking after their children and families, albeit with no remuneration, has led housewives in Kerala to form a trade union, demanding that the government pay them a fixed salary and old-age pension for the services being rendered.
Celebrating international Women’s Day on Sunday, they said a [...]

I like Intellectuals

Such as we have,
That’s precisely what this girl is known for – speaking her mind. She says she wouldn’t do an item song if she’s offered one, either. “I don’t like item numbers in the first place, and I don’t know how to dance. Why should I even learn to dance? These latkas and jhatkas [...]

Line of the Day

From TOI,
The film produced by Red Chillies Productions, partly owned by Shahrukh Khan had to be renamed ‘Billu’ from ‘Billu Barber’ after some barber associations objected to use of the word “barber” in the title.[link](italics added)
Hmm

Hmmmm

Asked whether she would contest the elections if Sanjay were not able to do so, Manyata said, “He has to take the decision. I take permission from him even if I have to go for coffee or dinner with friends. My priority is my family. He will decide if it is right or not right [...]

What’s in a Surname?

Opines our celluloid Gandhi,
That’s a message not just to my sisters, but to all girls who hang on to their parents’ surname. It’s become fashionable these days. But I strongly feel that doing so disrespects the person they’ve married.
If the guy not adopting the girl’s surname does not disrepect her, why should the other [...]

Chandni Chowk to China

From Raja Sen’s review,
Sample, if you will, this early contender for the year’s most bizarre dialogue: Kumar has been trained in Kung Fu, his arms turned into lethal weapons using something called the Iron Forearm technique. Soon he’s folding Deepika Padukone into these aforementioned steely arms, and saying [I translate, roughly] ‘I have Iron Forearms. [...]

Yes!

Let us control the media – why they always talk to much and question everything and have no respect for anybody. Who they think they are????? Indian tradition is to be respectful of authority and other important peoples, no?. Why Pakistan and Saudi and Russian media so patriotic and why Indian media so talking too [...]

Oh Dear

Dear Rajiv Shukla,
I interrupt my attempts to write a 20 page paper within the next 24 hours to ask you a very important question: What the hell is a very ”prestigious nation”?
Thanks

Not the Financial Crisis!

A report in the The Telegraph claims that ”American financial crisis has claimed an Indian family”. This is in reference to the tragic case of Karthik Rajaram who shot his entire family to death.
Now, let’s get this straight: It is not clear if Rajaram took the extreme step because of financial crisis. What is clear, [...]

On The First Presidential Debate

So who won?( And its Friday night and I am drunk)
The debate was divided in two parts.
The first part was concerned with economy and specifically the bailout plan. The second part was on the topic of the day: foreign policy.
Economy: Obama did better. He made the right rhetorical noises about helping the guy in main [...]

Can People be This Dumb?

Why? Because the world created in film is even more sexist than the one we live in, and when a man and a woman talk the man’s world is the reference point for their conversation. His thoughts, his ideas, his conundrums, his desires. In The Dark Knight, Rachel has conversations with Bruce Wayne about his role [...]
