  • Eye of the Beholder

    Me: D is going to the eye doctor today
    Alec Smart: Hmm, i can see why. But you’ve been married for almost 4 years now. Isnt it a bit of a late reaction?
    until next time, eye for an eye, i say 😉
  • Options

    Not the kind thats given in KBC, more of the kind thats given in mobile handsets and computers.. Both of the above, at the time of purchase, are loaded with a set of features that the manufacturer feels, are enough for the model to give its user a good experience… But of course, the user doent exist in a static world. he sees other people around him with models that are loaded with features, perhaps the same model with better downloaded stuff. and so, even though his model might be giving him a good experience, he tries to better it by downloading stuff and installing more features.. some of these do help him get a better experience, but some of these end up spoiling the set or the comp totally..maybe, the manufacturers have seen all this happen before, and therefore they have a little option given in between all the features, that says Default Options… and all is back to the way it was before…
    Perhaps we live life the same way we use the devices too, unfortunately, the manufacturer in this case doent believe in resetting to the default options… however, it is possible that he has left enough features for the user to get back to default options..

    until next time, no locking the options….
  • 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
