  • Random Excerpts from Very Interesting Experiences this Week

    Soap Opera
    Can i get one Cinthol soap please – no, since the powers that be have decided that to be totally cleansed, i need not one, not two, not three, but four cinthols – ‘not to be sold separately’.. haha, other soaps? go on, all for one, one for all, thats how it goes…
    ****
    Dhoom
    Went to GK Vale to get D’s photo taken, and since there wasnt a ‘ek lo ek muft lo’ offer, i sat and watched someone play a motor racing game on an xbox console there.. and i have to hand it to the Bangalore Police.. as soon as the guy crossed the speed limit, two cops came in…. nah, just coincidence, come on, its Bangalore police we are talking about remember?
    ****
    Masala-e-ishq
    (careful, spoilers ahead)
    eh? yeah, i meant salaam-e-ishq, watch out for-
    the relay- first john abraham runs, then anil kapoor runs, followed by john abraham again (he incidentally prefers to run between towns) and then akshaye khanna.. the only thing that stops running once in a while is govinda’s taxi..
    the brits being beat at their own game – after sue in RDB, stephanie tries to massacre hindi by speaking hindi in her british accent… but our very own salman saves the day and beats her to it by speaking hindi in a US accent…
    Tear jerker- As the rhyme goes, Johnny Johnny, yes papa…. kiss the girls and make them cry.. yup, Thats what John Abraham does, makes poor Vidya Balan cry and then drinks her tears.. Poor Vidya Balan desperately needs hits and it shows, as she gets hit on by John, and then Akshay’s car.. she didnt want to take chances and tried to get hit on a train, and unfortunately succeeds, thereby losing her mammaries (sorry sorry, but i suddenly remembered a dilli friend who used to pronounce it that way)…:)
    spoilers? yeah these were only the things that spoiled the movie, else all okay 😉

    until next time, wanna tear me apart? 😀

  • Bade Bhaiya

    Is what i wanted to write about
    But after all this, i am left in no doubt
    That all that i would’ve said
    Would sound a bit jaded

    But though it places me in a quandary
    I have to admit, I am racist, i love ferrari
    And in between all the stunts for publicity
    lemme not forget to say ‘Happy Republicity’ 🙂

    until next time, can it get verse?

  • The Original Axe Effect

    until next time, lazy weekend effect 🙂

  • Genetics, i say

    A long time ago, my mouth used to be a regular venue for the cola wars, until the time i realised that the venue’s infrastructure was suffering a lot of collateral damage in the bargain.. and since then a search for a good non corrosive drink was in full swing.. and since i really didnt like the tropics and nothing else was real enough, a lot of stuff that got released in the market, also found a place in my diet, but nothing took a permanent place..that was until the time i saw the ad and decided to try ‘a cool drink to hang out with’ and liked it better that any i had tried till then… but, of course the campaign stopped in a while, and therefore the distribution suffered and i only managed to get a few and that too, once in a while…
    and so, a few weeks back, since my dad and sis were visiting, i decided to stock the fridge with one of the more than easy available family pack of colas.. since it remained in an unopened state even by the end of the visit, i was prompted to ask the reason for it.. my sis let us know that the cool drink to hang out with had also become a favourite with my dad… and though the product itself can take some credit, i believe i can safely say that the genes also had their hand to play in placing it in both our favourites’ folder 🙂
    i like denim too, but of course, some genes dont get passed on 😉

    until next time, what exactly does gene hackman do? 🙂

  • Despair

    is perhaps when life slips by playing its part
    and you slip by without playing yours..

    until next time, no time to spare
