In Oblivion


It’s again hazy. Again, it’s blur. Tiptoeing and balancing on the edge. You start thinking for a moment and then get lost in ponder. How?When?What?Why? These questions pop up and scale big on you. You gaze. You stop. You blank out. And then, live again.

Andrew *Sigh*monds in Big Boss


Today, as my fingers were busy scampering on the remote control buttons, I stumbled upon Colors while it was airing Big Boss season 5. With a random mindset of just staring at the TV for no reason in my half-sleep mode, I decided to watch the entire episode. 

Ok Ok ! to be honest I wanted to catch a glimpse of Sunny Leonne in the house..Btw she does look cute man! *tsk tsk*

Ok ..now let’s shift focus from Sunny Leonne please and get back to what I am suppose to talk about. Andrew Symonds, the brawny Aussie cricketer is the latest entrant in the house. And the poor guy looked so out of place as if he was some Jaadoo from another planet who has landed amongst the humans. 

The lad cannot speak and understand Hindi and therefore can't talk with anyone as the general rule of the show is to communicate only in Hindi. For his rescue,an ex house inmate has been allocated as his translator who has re-entered the house.This will kind off also save the situation of Andrew misinterpreting other house inmates.What if someone knowingly/unknowingly utters 'Maa ki' in front of him...*laughs*  However, that translator chick seemed to endorse herself more than being a tongue and ear to Andrew. I suggest Bhajji should replace her and become Andrew's translator.

But look at the irony, the poor fellow is actually in a situation of a 'monkey' stuck in a cage amidst people where he can see, hear ,walk, eat but can’t communicate much with them.
*sigh*

Slapstick Saga: Harvinder Singh – He’s got the Pawar!


So here’s the plot. You are the Union Agriculture Minister of the country and have just finished attending a function at the NDMC Centre in the capital city and heading your way out with the security escorting you. A belligerent young man makes his way through the crowd and out of the blue before the security guards could even sniff, lands a thunderous chamaaat on the Minister’s face. Shocking. Scorning. Amusing.

Harvinder Singh, an infuriated Surd did the impossible by slapping the Nationalist Congress chief, Mr.Sharad Pawar in public. This bizarre incident gave the news channels and the media the right kind of meat which they can deep fry, richly garnish and serve it as yet another entertainment snack on the platter.

I am quite sure, that the number of times the slap footage was played in loop on all TV channels would have come close to that of the footage of Dhoni’s World Cup winning hit at Wankhede. After all both are so synonymous. ‘Phataaaaak’!!

Even the hugely popular number ‘Kolaveri Di’ had it’s new version on internet  called ‘The Chamaat Song’ featuring Sharad Pawar feat Harvinder Singh…Below is the link for you to enjoy this hilarious piece


Nonetheless, I am sure that this gutsy Singh’s stunt though obnoxious have instilled a sense of pride to some extent in the heart of every Indian. For all the facts that we know,  Mr.Pawar got a share of his due, which he really deserves.

Well done Harvinder Singh, you actually demonstrated the true meaning of “Saada Haq,Ithe Rakh”..

Humka Peeni Hai...Naam,Jalebi Bai...Munni Badnaam Hui..Sheela Ki Jawaani...NOW THAT IS HOW WE BID GOODBYE TO OUR LORD??!


Yes indeed. It is no more a Visarjan, it’s an item song brigade on the roads. 
Riding my way back home on the 7th day of Ganpati Visarjan I came across the festive mood in the city, the beautiful Ganesh idols marching on the streets, the obvious traffic; but what really turned out to be a shocker was the way the processions of Visarjan being carried on with the so called DJ Dhinchaak music playing on.

Now firstly, it is not some on-the-go disco party on the roads where the police dispels the traffic so that you continue your obnoxious dancing on these outrageous item songs.
This is suppose to be a religious, sacred and joyful fiesta of Lord Ganesha where He arrives in our homes and the city to spread his charm all over. In response we are at least suppose to be equally courteous by worshipping Him wholeheartedly and celebrating His stay.

No doubt you have full license to rejoice and exult during the procession, but for Lord’s sake, when you are bidding your Bappa goodbye, please don’t humiliate the very essence of the festival by getting drunk and dancing to the glory of not the Lord but to these notorious item numbers.

Where have the beats of the classic old Nasik dhol, the delightful Ganpati songs, the chants of ‘Bappa Morya’ gone? Can we please have them back and reinstate the ‘real Ganpati dance’ instead of this fancy cheap hoedown.

Good Lord! Please come back soon next year...
Ganpati Bappa Morya..Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya...


The picture of the Ganpati below was clicked at Girgaon Chowpatty on the last day of Visarjan this year. 

The gulal on His face gives a sensational look to the divine Elephant God.

Koshish ki seedi chadne se tu kyun ladkhadaata hai,
Jo Chahta ha, uss taraf kyun kadam nahin badaata hai;
Dheere dheere waqt khud tujhse keh raha hai yeh,
Ki chan paison ke liye tu kyun apne sapno ko bech aata hai....

Caught on the Wrong Foot


Just Dance is the message Hritik is spreading to aspiring  dancers though his new show while Just Dance in a Decent Way is what the Mumbai Police is advocating the youth to do.

The recent detention of 31 youngsters for dancing indecently at a Malad lounge has caused an outrage in the city. The police justified their action on ‘moral grounds’ stating that the way in which the youngsters were dancing was vulgar and indecent. But many in the city consider this as yet another case of ‘moral policing’. Many legal experts infact are of the opinion that such a raid by the cops on youngsters who were not doing anything illegal is a violation of their privacy.

Aren’t the cops having better and more important work to do? Instead of grabbing hold of youngsters and moral policing them, they are suppose to grab hold of criminals and gangsters. What is more ridiculous to understand is, who are these cops to decide and take a call on indecency in dancing. Are these cops the law makers, the masters of the art of dancing, choreographers or judges of dance reality shows to do so? Is there any sensible justification for such irrational action.

One also cannot drive away from the possibility that the same bunch of cops who arrested the youth might have at least once themselves done an obnoxious-lecherous-style dance seeing videos of Munni and Sheila. And if these guys are so good at defining decency in dancing, then why haven’t they raised similar questions on the latkas & thumkas & pelvic thrusts done in cinema and other dance shows for such a long time. 

It's time that we enforce the right laws at the right place and start enacting on issues that really matter. I would like to end this post by leaving a short message to the Police who try to moral police   - Naach Na Aaye Angan Teda…..

Bachann Productions presents - PAA 2 ; Introducing: Baby B ka Baby Producers: Abhishek Bachann, Aishwarya Rai Bachann Director: Amitabh Bachann COMING SOON

Now close your eyes for a moment and actually visualize this - 3 Bachanns together on screen doing the trademark ‘Pa’ dance promoting the sequel.*laughs*

Breaking News! Aishwarya Rai is Pregnant. Now what’s so earth shaking about this that it has to be featured as Breaking News on national TV. Every woman gets pregnant at some point of time in her life.Is mein koi jaadoo nahi hai. Unless and until it is ‘*Jaadoo*’ who is responsible for Ash getting pregnant and as usual Abhishek has No Idea about it.

So now, very soon Bachanns would be available in 3 variants. Big B,Medium B,Small B. Medium B in comparison to his Baap has not created any ripples in the market attributing a mediocre and sub standard Bollywood career.However,the launch of Small B would be interesting to look forward to. Possibilities for the Bachann child are endless. Once he/she is out of the mother’s womb, he/she would be in a cradle of endorsements. The star studded family might soon start their home production soap ‘Kahani Bachann ke Ghar Ki’. Saala yeh Bachann toh Bachpan se hi star ban jayega/jayegi.

As I said before possibilities are endless . All I can foresee is the amount of media coverage the royal Bachann kid will get once he is he/she is born. 

Aur yeh toh sirf trailer hai,puri picture toh nau mahine ke baad dikehgi…..
