The making of Balram Halwai

Filed under: Personal

This story seems to be out of the booker winning White Tiger.

A drunk bechara baba smashed his car into couple of parked vehicles in Bandra and then their faithful driver took the ilzaam on his head. Baba ne kuch nahi kiya na, but afsoos some perstering reporters were hanging around and clicked some snaps of the real driver.

Thoose damn bleddy baskets cant mind their own bijness, baba ko pareshan karte hai.

Billu Barber ya sirf Billu

Filed under: Movies

What the heck is wrong with the word barber?

All I knew was that its an English word till the pundits at the The Saloon and Beauty Parlours Association pointed out that it was casteist. WTF !!!!!!!!!

Wikipedia says that “In previous times, barbers also performed surgery and dentistry”

So now these guys would want themselves to be called doctors !!!!

Wow log mileage ke liye kuch bi karte hai they just piggyback on anyone.

I think what Shahrukh and company did by changing the name of Billu Barber to Billu was completely wrong.

They shouldn’t have buckled under the pressure of such associations, next they would demand that the word barber should be banned

Lately it has become a trend.

If I don’t like some thing then all I have to do is gather some goons, do some thod phod if required which would surely give me added brownie points all under the umbrella of some stupid organization.

What Shahrukh has done now is given them an identity by accepting their demands, something they never had. Unko sirf ignore marna chahiye tha.

This would definitely give a booster shot to all the other similar assholes out there.

Why do we have a censor board?

The sculpture(s) :-D

Filed under: Personal

Wifey got bit by the artistic bug after being served curd in a small khullad during a train journey and raided the Hobby Ideas store at Inorbit Vashi.

The house was filled with white M Seal and paint.The virus had to eventually pass on to me and this is what I made.

 

Its frog prince and an alien. Kind of messy when you make it but its fun.

The the pots below done by the missus (not the pots but the extensions on them and the painting). 

Forgot to add one of them has been transformed into a scented candle.The black one is recycled its the one which is found below bouquets and the candle one is from a Bengali restaurant where they serve curd in such pots (why do they do that?? it all started like this).

More snaps here:

One more date

Filed under: Personal

26 / 11 . One more date to remember that we are not safe in our own country during peace time. Hoping that the count of such dates wont go up but the pessimist in me doesn’t say so.

We are so indifferent that after all this gets over, our politicians would be back to the dirty work they do.  We would be fighting which region/religion/caste/language is better than the other. We would shamelessly forget that we are one nation.

Its the biggest security failures in a country which spends a huge bomb on defence every year. A bunch of bastards take a boat cross international waters and hold the financial capital at ransom.

Like Ratan Tata said we have not learned anything from our past mistakes.

I’m hoping people would wake up and take charge.

Fashion ka jalwa

Filed under: Movies

Watched Fashion yesterday. It took me back to a situational leadership workshop attended couple of years ago. The trainer told us that animals have only two reactions to an unknown stimulus fight or flight, but human beings have an extra negotiate.

Thats what the three main characters of the movie do, Meghna Mathur played by Priyanka Chopra fights, Janet played by Mughda Godse negotiates  and Shonali Gujral played by Kanagana Ranaut flights.

The movie is typical Madhur Bhandarkar realistic genre, like his previous movies it tells how certain individuals sell their morals to get on top and how most of them falls on their face, but who the hell decides whats moralistic and whats not?

Although Priyanka is projected as the main protagonist of the movie I liked the role played by Kangana Ranaut.

Its worth a watch but a long  one.

Diginity in defeat

Filed under: Personal

McCain urged all Americans to shed their differences and cooperate with the Illinois Senator to bring the country out of the "difficult" times.

                                                                                                                                                                          source:Rediff

This statement by John McCain very clearly tells us the difference between American and Indian politicians.

Such a statement would have never come out from any defeated leader  of any political party in India irrespective of the margin.

Here the defeated person would have cried foul citing 10000 stupid reasons for the defeat and never accept that the other person has won.
