  • Saamne yeh kaun aaya, dil main hui hulchul

    Every major city in the world has seen this as part of its lifecycle, a large number of people flowing into a city because of its potential to grow and accomodate.. and not just accomodate, but create chances and opportunities for the people who flow in… Bangalore is in such a state now..
    Some of these people justify their decisions totally, and equal the heights to which the city grows.. i dont have a problem with them.
    Some of them just about manage to hold their own, living in an unfeeling, ambivalent way, i dont have a problem with them either.
    The worst cases are those who fail to even hold on, and end up not even having a chance, idont have a problem with them at all..
    And then there are some from within the last set, who, in their state of despair, choose to end their existence..i dont have a problem with that too..
    i have a problem with those who choose to do the above in front of my kinetic honda, every day!! it has come to a point where i believe its a conspiracy to get me to their state..
    until next time, driving me crazy!!

  • Hu mour?

    Who would have thought that i’d be writing a post on the Chinese president’s visit to India, but all the possibilities below,and the ones that you’d come up with encouraged me to write this Who’s Hu post!! Of course some sceptics would call it chinese torture..
    One fine morning, Manmohan Singh wakes up to the ringing of his doorbell. He opens the door and is shocked to hear a smiling Oriental sing
    ‘Jaanam dekh lo, mit gayee dooriyan,
    Main yahaan, Hu yahaan, Hu yahaan, Hu yahaan’
    and so the conversation starts

    He: Who are you?
    Hu: I am the president of China
    He: No, Hu is the president of China
    Hu: I am Hu
    He: Thats what I have been asking! who are you?
    after a while, once the identity issues have been cleared
    He: Who says Arunachal Pradesh belongs to China?
    Hu: Yes, Hu says Arunachal Pradesh belongs to China.
    He: I am glad you agree, but who can resolve this?
    Hu: Yes, Hu can resolve this.
    For now, i shall stop this line of thought, and let you guys add on, and draw your attention to all the other possibilities..
    Jackie Chan suing Hu for the title of his autobiography ‘Hu am I’…
    Pepsi bringing back the campaign ‘Hu Ha India, Aaya India’
    Maruti Esteem launching in China with the line ‘Hu’s big car is this?’
    okay okay, dont create a hullabaloo now..
    until next time, who wants to add on?

    Die Another Day (2002)

    until next time, shaken not stirred

  • The Wonder Years

    No, not the show that used to be on air quite a time back, and which gave so many wonderful and quotable quotes and got us involved in the life and times of kevin arnold.. that edition of the wonder years ended quite a while back…this is of an ‘oops i did it again’ kind and a kevin who has just reached the end of his version of wonder years..
    yup, he definitely had a wonderful time, as he piggy backed the humongous success of his wife, becoming a kind of celebrity himself, appearing on reality shoes and wwe, all culminating in his own album… and its a strange coincidence that its titled ‘Playing with Fire’.
    Which brings me to question the entire arrangement, its downright surreal.. like a carefully staged show… right from the time they married, to the kids, to the PR stories on how all was not well between the couple, and to the time when Britney said that she was fed up…
    britney gets the additional mileage even when she has no album or a popular song running on the airwaves, kevin gets his claim to fame, and the kids, well, hope they at least get a life… and for all you know, this could be part of the plot too, and kevin will patiently wait till she says hit me baby one more time…

    until next time, so who really got speared?

  • The Sick Gentleman?

    while that may be popular opinion, and the internet had a big hand to play in the entire Jessica Lall case, i quite agree with some of the statements he made about the media in this interview…
    until next time, hey ram!!
