slumDOG Millionaire .. Who let these DoGs out ???

another movie about destitution, gluttony, corruption, exiguity, injustice, irony, deceit, conceit, prostitution and host of other wrong doing which exists in Bombay, in India, in Asia, in America, in the world..

so whats the USP of Slumdog Millionaire ???



A White man playing his favorite game " Mock the Brown " or closer home Indians !!

Since its a very popular sport of the influential few, it finds it self winning Golden Globe and being nominated for Oscars.

No wonder "Lagaan" dint make it big on the Oscars or Golden globe front as the story there was of us, the underdogs, bashing some white asses along with the white ego !! Touche !

What really surprises me is not the director's cheek but that of anil kapoor's (the senility of it has hit his head !) , who plays a callous, pompous and arrogant host of KBC. His professional life off late has been a bitch and this role must be the dream one knows will never come true (Shahrukh Khan knows better that even if the dream comes true .. it is red .. read as low TRP). You do stand as the strongest contender to "The Wanna BE celeb of the year" award. So don't whine .. even if you don't win the oscars, (oops you haven't been nominated) but you do win my special award.

Amitabh Bachchan had set an unreachable president of an elegant and endearing host of KBC. Through KBC he again established the fact that his is the true Super star of all times with his distinct charisma, humbleness, wit, aura, well i could go on and on. He won over million hearts again by his courtesy, humane approach,demeanor and respect for each of the participants which came from with in and cannot be faked through the tv lenses.

This surely is an insult to him. His discontent is more than justified.

I quote ABs comment below

“projects India as [a] Third World dirty underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots”.

No wonder he is the man with million hearts resonating his name.


Well the moral of my story here

We Let the DOGS OuT !!

If we Indians cannot contribute towards making India a better place to live then

Stop being part of Brigade "Defame India!"


BTW this is my reaction to 15 mins of divided view of the movie between my popcorn, my orange juice and comfort of my couch ,, which by the way all of a sudden became more interesting.. (for those white guys reading this, we do have couches in India !!)

So those who have seen the movie.. Poor you !! and those who haven't seen it, please read the book "1000 ways to utilize your time in a better way" or go for the movie Luck by chance !

movies i wanna c now r seven pound, marley and me, delli 6, Dev D .. big list eh .. leave me your comments on them ..

nik send me this link and i loved it .. hope this one throws in more light

Driving .. me Nuts !!

my life was beautiful.. almost perfect.. and then i fine day i joined the driving school!!




the most sophisticated vehicle i had driven so far was a hero cycle, so the moment i hit the road, it was like da whole world is conspiring against me & will hit me before i blink.. my reflexes have always been slow, and now was time i was cursing it the most. i am a very reasonable person but my driving teacher would really rile me with his insensitive remarks. so ya in shot the whole world truly was conspiring.

got my driving license like a piece of cake. that was when it hit me that its the easiest thing to get in India and what lay ahead freaked me even more.. any demented loony could be on the same or other side of the road waiting to attack me !!

Nothing really prepares you for hitting the road alone the first time, i had taken lots of advice from my friends and the advices were remembered and applied depending upon the years of driving experience of my buddies. As expected Murphy 's law worked not just once but twice .. i banged twice in a gap of 20 mins.. my life was rocking.. literally.

after that it was from a series of mistakes i learned how to drive safe.

i now fear only other cars, bikes, suvs, trucks and buses.. no longer scared of cycles and scooties.. ya i have come a long way..

earlier i would sit beside my friends, hear them swear like crazy and from my high pedestal reprimand them for using abusive language.i have graduated there too.. now i use the choicest of swear words that my father refuses to go on a drive with me..
so guys i totally empathize with you when you abuse.. these dumb @$7^ers so deserve it !!

i in past would hate to get my way around the world by using the fact that am a girl. now i blatantly abuse that fact. If a smile guarantees help in parking it right .. then what the heck why not?? if that helps in not getting a ticket.. sure it warrants a sweet smile.. hell i dint know the power of smile.. untill now !!

well once i master the art of driving the smiles will of course disappear.. my faithful grunge will be back .. untill then say cheeeese :)

men and their vanity !!

a dear friend of mine said he smokes to reduce weight !! i was really appalled on hearing something so vain from a man whom i thought was very logical, sensible, intelligent and above all NOT frivolous. I guess i have to welcome myself to the men of 22nd century as vain as they come.. mask it under the even more vain name "metrosexy"




i still remember when we were in school, a bro of my friend used fair and lovely and that was his life's closely guarded secret which our entire gurl gang knew thanks to his sis and we would make pathetic gags on him. but today thinking back, he must have been one of the earlier member of the brotherhood called "metrosexy"

my bro spends like almost an hour to decide what to wear for a party (its my blog and i can exaggerate a bit here .. am da gueen) , my family friend uses chapstick. well i could quote more eg.. but i guess you must have got the flow of things by now..

Ok am not crazy.. i would like my man to follow personal hygiene but getting so messed up bout one's look to such an extend is totally another ball game.

come on guys, we really don't care how hot you look, how well your brows are plucked, how you maintain your nails or the flex your bicep, tricep and whateva more ceps you have. Its whats inside you that matters. If you are compassionate, thoughtful, loving, trust worthy, not a hypocrite and understanding .. you win hands down the most desirable man title. so drop da metrosexy shit and get real ..

b a man

:P

Me Sleepy now.. so buzz off :P

Indian Female authors.. you rock gurls

I love to read, earlier i was more into international authors like Jeffery Archer, Charles Dickens, Enid Blyton, Dan Brown ( well he seriously disheartened me.. first two books awesome next two beyond awesome disasters)

But off late i have started reading indian authors, and am finding them real good. My romance with Indian author started with Chetan Bhagat, five point someone was awesome, what really made me feel more excited was he had left his email id to post comments on, I very enthusiastically and earnestly put in my thoughts in a mail, not that i wanted a reply but one acknowledgement would have been good. There came none, neways read his second book and commented, same fate when his third book was released he sends in a mail to all the fools like me to put in a word for him.. sure buddy,, as they say any publicity is good, so he did put me off him by his callousness and even worse with books to follow.



then i read indian female authors, zoya factor by anuja chauhan, almost single by Advaita Kala, finger puppet by anu jayanth, piece of cake i fogot the author.. real nice books and the humour, the choice of words, the sentiments, the thoughts, all i could relate to. But what is more nice is the interaction. All these authors are open to communication, they interact and are passionate about what they write which is so heartening.. I dun wanna sound sexist but i guess what they have in common is being a woman.. hence more sensitive, creative, empathatic and what i liked was the humour which i always thought men were better at.

Great going gurls, you rock.

but when am on Indian authors, do have to mention suketu mehta for maximum city, very well researched book, and the white tiger by aravind adiga awesome narrator .. hmm men too are gettin good at writing ;)..since we show them how to do it..

I dream of writing a book which finds more than one reader .. well someday for sure.. untill then have too many books to read..

Humanity .. an extinct trait

Today Ma and me had gone to apna bazaar, well that in itself is unusual coz i never go there, neways there was a 90 year old elegant man behind me in the queue, I offered to hold his bag and drop him home. He was so grateful and happy for doing something so trivial made me really think that we have become so selfish and self obsessed that we have somewhere stopped living and started existing.




Its like gadget, you exist, you perform as per the program your mind fixes, heart is dysfunctional, greed has enslaved all feelings,more greed, more horse power, if a part is faulty, replace it, no more fixing it right, whip it to max, find a bigger better meaner one, drop this one.

Now feelings, thoughtfulness, care, selflessness feature in a fool's dictionary. Well so be it i still am a fool, i care, i get hurt, i recover and i move on, stronger, more human and alive.. not existing but living every moment and relishing most of the moments.. morons are there to suck away some of the moments.. rest is good ...

distance makes the heart grow fonder .. dunno ...but mind go berserk.. fo sure

been almost the whole month out on tour, i was so tired and cold that sleep kinda deprived me, and my brain got hyper active. been into a lot of self analysis during this time and into reading this book called finger puppet by anu jayanth..



initially was cursing my " i can judge books by the feel of it, if not just cover" thing i have, but gradually the book got me gripped in at times to stop my hyper mind n other times, the story kinda related to me .. i all of a sudden thought i am like the villain in the book, we shared similar trait, shot temper.. the solution out there in the book was turning into vegetarian.. i am the kind where there is no other type of people other that non vegetarian n the other types are called goats.. not funny any longer but that was a silly gag we non veggies shared..

neways so i realized to live a fuller happier life turning into vegetarian was a experiment i had to indulge into. i also looked around n found my more calmer friend jigna is a vege, my volatile gas nik is non veggie.. so i knew the key element here was veg it is..

came back and the whole bunch had a laugh at my conclusion, and i all of a sudden developed urges to hav chick tandoori, kabab, tikka masala and what not.. ma made prawn curry and i fogot all bout this romance i was gonna indulge...

but today i am again thinkin bout da veggie thing and thinkin of controlling my short temperedness which is justified considering the morons that invade earth ;).. i rather control my mind.. food shdnt be dat difficult .. what say !
