Why dont you just shut up?

That's one of Spain's best-selling (can i use that term here?) ringtones. A royal one, that too.

Follow-up: Do you want me to pee on you? ...
... was Chavez's retort.

Main Maayke chala jaaonga...

.. tum dekhte rahiyo. Definitely not a statesman.

Kyonki sirf burger...

... kaafi nahin hain.

While we are on the topic of coffee, one of my favourite 'Coffee houses' happens to be Kalmane Koffees.

Follow-up: Ab to kitabein bhi kaafi nahin hain. Am i happy or what?

Aaja Nachle

.. of a different kind. We will not Speak about it.

Whose Mine Is it Anyway?

Theirs, yours or mine?

The Naked Truth

The naked truth. No wonder they call it Down Under.

In justice?

The compensation package guidelines for acid attack victims laid down by Bangalore HC is indeed a welcome move, just for the existing victims. Is it reducing the number of victims-to-be? Is it offering a second thought to the would-be offender?
Apologies for the very inarticulate anger-spewing above.
Speaking of anger, a joke by my very good friend Hairy:

What would Ang-Lee say if he didn't get the award?
I am very, very anglee*.(* angry in american chinese accent.)

So much for the hot seat...

HOW does the press find such people? Or is it that such people find the press after they realize it?
Such ya Jhooth, gets published anyways.

Movember Maasam

Because of causes like this one, we'll stop saying Yo! Bro. Instead, we become Mo Bros.

No Laughing Matter This

No laughing matter this. Definitely not. It's my college after all.

Dressing Down

Whatay dressing down this. Huh.

Well Shakira's got a Gujarati Makeover. Her name's Anita Fernandes Sharma.
Quite a rage i assure you. She was last seen performing her famous "item" number at the launch of the SBI Gold coin Scheme in Rajkot.

“I am too new in this department”

That's what Meghalaya's revenue commissioner said when one of the tribal clans came to claim their ancestral property, the Raj Bhavan.
I am just waiting for Belgaum to be a fully functional winter capital (...tracing family lineage and property in my mind right now.)

How many of you have had your names published in BT?

Tsk Tsk dahling.. of course you know I mean Bangalore Times?
As to that question, I definitely have. And for no fault of my own. Thought I had lost this piece.

Replicas of my best friend

Was dying to go this diamond exhibition on comm st for about a fortnight now, until i read this. Thanks Ayesha, for mentioning that they 'true-to-life' replicas.
@Nikhil : WRT to your msg last night, no, there are no models wearing diamonds, and only 'trye-to-life' replicas. But for being so hopeful, there is replica of the hope diamond too. You should also thank Ayesha, if it wasnt for her I'd have dragged you today just to find out that they were 'true-to-life' replicas.

Don't you just love the term 'true-to-life' replicas when used in conjuction with diamonds?

Kaun Gress? The ones with the new dress!

The crown prince is supposedly making some major changes in the youth KaunGress, looking for a 'young' makeover and what not. Too bad he doesn't work for my company, thats exactly what it needs.
For more details, contact Mr. Gandhi, 12, Tughlak Rd. [an apt address or what...]

Kaun si chakki ka aata?

Might be just more than a metaphor, with things going this , and more recently , this way.
Of course, the shortage is for our fellow citizens in non-metros to face. Unnoticed by the obesity battling urban masses.

IT Is A Serious Matter

IT indeed is. When Gautam Gambhir's house is raided for tax evasion . For once run-out is good. Running out of such problems. While we're at IT, will he now have to pay through his nose after this? Himesh Comes Under The IT Scanner. I hope the scanner is safe and unsound. No one would want his sound.

It's been a long time comin'...

A static device used to transform the
electrical energy from one alternating current circuit to
another without any change in frequency. That's what they need.

And if it doesn't work, they might try installing this.

Street Smart

That's the name of a weekly column in DH, churning out pieces about quaint little streets and their acquaintances in Bangalore.
Do read that piece on Ramana Maharishi road for a fundae on Kengal Hanumanthaiah's descendent.

Trust BMTC to come up with something like this...

A special bus service touring the city's malls. Of course, entry isn't restricted only to mall- hoppers. If it was, BMTC would have never made it here.

Put on your testing shoes...

and get down on the floor, baby. Now will there be blood on this dance floor?
Love the term "Floor Test".
This incident now gives me a different view of that term, i.e apart from the ones we conduct here in the shopfloor at Peenya.

Well that's what Lymphosarcoma looks like in the Liver. A blown up image thankfully cause the one which shows the actual organ is rather disgusting to say the least ... Wonder if Munnabhai even realised that "blood Cancer" of the intestines is a remote possibility. I can't stress enough on the remoteness bit.
But a funny cinematic moment nonetheless. A wonderful movie overall, with its sequel being perennially in the news for advocationg "gandhigiri". I would recommend everyone to watch Lage raho Munnabhai at least twice. Its a simply delightful concept which somehow manages to entertain as well.. Gandhi bein a very touchy subject in our country, there have been widespread allegations of the film "dumbing down" the Mahatma's philosophies. Quite contrarily to such opinions i think the movie has a positive message and we should try and look for that instead of denigrating it.

Maine kaha tha na, pani chala jayega...

And that's why I always refrain from haivng a bath. Scratch.

WelcoME Back!

What's in a name? Didn't take me long to figure out this one, thanks to the two movies which etched the term in my mind first.

For starters, what would you do without a name?
