New York …. Why?
WARNING : SPOILERS AHEAD!
I don’t know what Yash Raj movies wanted to say, and I dont know why they wanted to say either! I think this movie had a poor script and even worse casting.
It is about these three very “with it” dudes studying in New York.
As it happens in Indian movies, no one is actually seen doing anything but romping around the lawns and racing around buildings. Not one scene even mentions the courses they are taking.
Khair, that is how Hindi movies are ……
John and Katrina look too old to be undergrads. I say this with a qualifying “if” because abroad you have the sovereign right to continue educating yourself till you are 35, but dudes you are Indian.
Neil looks like an undergrad, but other than that ….. he looks like a wuss!
They are buddies, just because Neil has the hots for Katrina and John does not know about it! LOL!!!! Any way 9/11 happens, John gets arrested by FBI as a suspect and gets tortured.
Neil has already left and does not know.
John and Katrina get married and have a kid.
The torture scenes were a bit hard to believe. Did Human Rights go on a vacation? Was there no reaction?
And later on in the movie John heads a Terrorist Sleeper Cell!????
Any one who heads a sleeper cell is a suspicious bloke! Cant say why he did not get it that his best buddy loves his wife.
Neil is roped in (coerced, framed etc etc ) by FBI to re-enter the lives of his pals to spy on John. Only Irfan and his boss know about this sleeper cell and this plan. Hello?!
Actually Irfan as the ciggy smoking pasta hating America loving desi was good. He’s married to an Italian and hates pasta and cheese. Nice touch.
Neil looks too comfortable spying on his pals. John looks too gullible. Katrina looks hot – the only good point.
This movie could have been a thriller – but it was boring.
I was laughing when John was planting cellphone bombs on the outside of the FBI building disguised as a window cleaner, in broad daylight
Seems like FBI is a group of chumps
Human Rights went on leave …..
So did the brains of the story writer …
Please guys, we’ve been starved for movies since the PVR strike. Dont give us bilge-water!
Calling all spammers out there!
I dont know how much spam you all get on your blogs!
On a good day I get 250 approx! One a slow day about a hundred!
You can call me crazy, but I check out each and every one before deleting, because some friend or fellow blogger may have commented and the spam filter may have snagged it. I dont wanna treat friends like that. So, feeling very virtuous I check each before deleting. It is my good deed for the day. Makes my halo shine! Angel Ritu to the rescue! :P
That gets me to the crux of it all. Does spam actually work?
Somebody from a blog named benefitsforhormones(dot)com wrote this comment on my blog entry titled “Planning a career our style”
Thanks for this. Bookmarking your blog.
Why? To send more spam my way? Besides what has that blog entry do with stuff you are plugging?
I write a poem to my non existent waist and Car rentals from Mexico wants to sell cars on it. I fail to see the connection. ….
My elder son’s wedding blog posts have attracted spam from a whole lot of valium and other sleep inducing medicines
Dudes! Well, if one sleeps through the night, one has no wedding! Some one please eductate them!
Abhi toh I havent even got into the Free Animal Sex and other pervy stuff that comes on various tags like the self help category :lol:
Have to admit that I do see a connection there …….
Porn spam does focus on tags, I guess. The rest, specially the medicine ones are so random!
One die hard optimist is this one
I Love the way you write…thanks for posting
Comes from various mail ids to almost all my blog entries …….. Persistant fella
And the one that says
I did not know that! Thanks for the information!
The only reason I did not fall for it was it came on posts that were NOT informative!
Yaara, chodo na! Nakal mein bhi akal chahiye should be changed to Spamming mein bhi akal istamal karo
To translate this : You need to use the brains God gave you, for cheating as well as spamming.
Leave me and my blog alone please!
You know its too hot when
1. You have to stare hard at the fan to confirm that its working, since it does not produce cool breeze at full speed
2. When you start seriously wondering if you should apply a paste made of mint and coriander on your face before cooking for the cool effect (I am sure it will do wonders for the skin too!)
3. When the best item on the menu is kheera raita with bits of ice floating in it, closely followed by chilled water
4. Your idea of a good time is to read a novel soaking in a bath tub full of iced water
5. When you are working out in the morning and Micheal Jackson’s death is announced, you dont know if you are wiping tears or sweat
6. When you think its a jolly good idea to sell all the airconditioners in the house and buy coolers since the voltage to run the a.c.’s is not provided by the Powers That Be
7. When you actually look forward to coming to office, reason being at least you get to sit in air conditioned ambience without power cuts
8. When you sleep on the marbled floor of your bedroom because the floor is cooler than the mattress on your bed (My back hurts but its worth it!)
9. When you seriously wish you’d retired and pushed off to the dream cottage in the hills (so what if you havent bought it yet?)
10. When you make lists like this ………

Oh, I Wish I’d Looked After Me Tits
By Pam Ayres
Oh, I wish I’d looked after me dear old knockers,
Not flashed them to boys behind the school lockers,
Or let them get fondled by randy old dockers,
Oh, I wish I’d looked after me tits.
‘Cos now I’m much older and gravity’s winning.
It’s Nature’s revenge for all that sinning,
And those dirty memories are rapidly dimming,
Oh, I wish I’d looked after me tits
‘Cos tits can be such troublesome things
When they no longer bounce, but dangle and swing.
And although they go well with my Bingo wings,
I wish I’d looked after me tits.
When they’re both long enough to tie up in a bow,
When it’s not the sweet chariot that swings low,
When they’re less of a friend and more of a foe,
Then I wish I’d looked after me tits.
When I was young I got whistles and hoots,
From the men on the site to the men in the suits,
Now me nipples get stuck in the zips on me boots,
Oh, I wish I’d looked after me tits
When I was younger I rode bikes and scooters,
Cruising around with my favourite suitors.
Now the wheels get entangled with my dangling hooters,
I wish I’d looked after me tits.
When they follow behind and get trapped in the door,
When they’re less in the air and more near the floor,
When people see less of them rather than more,
Oh, I wish I’d looked after me tits
I wish I had written this one!!!
On AstroGyan
I am in a funk!
Once not so long ago, in an attempt to make sense out of my life …. remember I don’t plan and just meander through life?, well in an attempt to make sense out of my life I started learning astrology.
Astrology is just as cheerfully vague as me, so I felt right at home with the “can probably”, “maybe” and “if” atmosphere of the subject.
I even got a Jyotish Visharad in the subject. No one can say I am academically inept. My early education ensured that I can memorise or “ghota lagao” anything!
Now comes the problem.
My kids regularly ask me to read their charts for them
Sigh!
I hate it. Dammit they want results! They want facts! They want proof!
All I have is “can probably”, “maybe” and “if”
Calling all you people out there ….
Do you know of a good astrologer?
I need answers …….
Help please
Family that eats together …. chews each other up
The only time the Phoenix family has with each other is at the dining table at night.
Normally there are two boys each equipped with a PSP playing some intense game and totally incommunicado because they have head phones attached to their heads. I swear I am so used to saying absolutely insulting things about them to their face and getting away with it – if they retaliate, I’ll faint with shock!
DIL and I have laptops open in front of us and we are either surfing the net or doing something else.
Yeah there is some dinner ….. and it is normally eaten while we are busy doing other things, i.e. unless I have cooked something sinfully fatteining or exotic.
Tonight was sandwiches and salad, since I had deadlines.
DIL had some major office drawings to do and wanted to eat anything that was boring since (said in OMG I am about to die tones) I have work Mom and my boss will kill me!!! I dont want to fall asleep right after dinner!
The boys had already eaten pizza so they could not have cared less!
DIL : Babe my autocad has gotten corrupt
Kid#1: Baby what would you do without me?
DIL: (In the I have to humour him tone) Babe tabhi tere se shaadi kee na!!!
Kid#1 (Preen Preen)
Kid#2: Yeah I know! Bhai can we start the game soon please?!
DIL : (The tone was pure distilled menace) You know you guys would have married each other if you werent brothers!
Kid #1 : Tactful smile : No baby
Kid #2 : Eewwwww!
Me : Another sandwich any one?
Total ignore from the family
Sensing a golden opportunity I quietly went to the kitchen and sliced a mango and opened a can of condensed milk. I thought they could eat each other while I quietly had an awesome desert.
Just as I was pouring the condensed milk into the bowl, I looked up! The whole damn brat brigade was standing and watching me accusingly.
Sigh! There went my desert! I did not even get one spoon!
Nah that is exaggeration. I was rationed …. yes rationed 2 spoonfuls.
Eye Candy – Male – My Dil goes MMMMMMMMM
So I did a list for you boys …. and you all went drool! Well honestly the post and the bevy of hotties awakened the bi in me. But I am a die hard hetero
I love em all, the browns, the whites, the blacks and the Chinks. I dont discriminate. Young guys, older guys, brunettes, blondes, Bollywood, Hollywood, Television , Sports… they have to be hot, have an attitude to live life by, and my Heart goes MMMMMM for them
Well my list is zara hatkey …
But then so am I 
Does anyone remember David Boreanz – The guy who played Angel in the Buffy series and had a series of his own called Angel
He was the vampire with a soul. He is hunky, and he’s got attitude. Also he has bad taste. Falls in love with the vampire slayer. I loved him. I wanted to give his soul a break and take him over, bad taste and all. Can you imagine, the dark rooms, the deep soulful looks, the clinches and more …. yummy. Yup I’d like to get cozy with that vampire!
Pete Doherty
Voted the biggest gamble in a relationship, totally unreliable, totally addictive. He would keep a woman off balance all the time. Exciting, wild and dangerous. Would drive me totally insane! He’s spicy and utterly reckless. Can you just imagine such an attitude in an intimate moment. You just dont know what comes next! I love those eyes
Russel Brand
I like men (specially bad men) wearing kajal. He is awesome! He is sexy and he is over the top. Totally right for a swinging exhibitionist night!
Brad Pitt
Hot, handsome with the most mischievious smile. That smile should be declared illegal! Dammit I could kill Angelina Jolie for taking such hot stuff and converting it into a baby sitter and nanny! So damn unfair. He should be sitting my babies! Nah! Should be sitting me!!! Whateva!
Colin Farrel
Oh why oh why did he have to sober up and get responsible?! That Irish hellraiser is still saucy and still damn attractive. I do love a reformed rake. He makes me think there is still hope in this world for the likes of me!
Russel Crowe
Bad Ass Aussie, Fiery temper, rugged looks! He will never go out of style I think. He is edgy to the extreme! Just imagine him and a beach and nothing in between!
Ashton Kutcher
The ultimate Mr Naughty! Demi Moore has all the luck! He is funny, talented and hot!
Johnny Depp
Another hot stuff with kajal and trinkets!
His kajal, his ringlets and his attitude! Yeah Pirates of the Caribbean would not be the same without him. Though I think he looked his hottest in Sleepy Hollow. Too artistic to be bad or to be Mr. Dependable. But dammit who needs a Mr. Dependable for a wild night on town?Though I think foreplay would be great … the actual event would be a wash out! He is too artistic to be much of a person who would get down and dirty. But he’s hot!
Hrithik Roshan
A gay poster boy I think! He is a hunk – alright and so he goes on the list! But he’s too goody goody to tickle my absolutely bad taste buds
Arjun Rampal
Dudes, I dont care what people say. I’d pick him every time over the Abhisheks and the John Abrahams any day. He is a thinking man, intelligent and interesting. Some one you’d want to hang out with even after the passion and sex has fizzled out!
And here comes the beefcakes
John Cena, Vin Diesel and The Rock
The Rock aka Scorpion King
Yeah I know I have sheer bad taste in men! Small wonder I spent most of my life single.
But they should be beefy, bad ass and interesting. Otherwise what’s the point. No excitement, what!!!?
And if I were a man!
Indyeah gave me rave reviews on her blog! Thanks girl!!!!
And she tagged me to think like a man; and compile a wishlist of the lovely ladies I would eye lustfully lovingly.
Well I know how men think! I have two sons who are frank and think I am buddy. They say anything in front of me!
So for all intents and purposes for this blog post I am a man!
Sigh! So many ladies I would love to get intimate with!
*Scratch my ahem … butt and settle down to list em*
And here’s my wishlist, compliled ever so lustfully
What can I say? Never did understand size zero obsessions! A guy does like his hands full. Them tits are awesome! Drew Barrymore really fits the bill.
Angelina Jolie
Those lips were made for kissing! Plus she is athletic. A guy would love a romp in the hay which is dirty, passionate and athletic! Angelina would be the perfect choice.
Preity Zinta
Just look at that balcony! She is a busty girl, and that is soo nice. Cleavages on girls is an emminently desirable thing. Plus Mommys dont object to nice girls with dimples. Best of both worlds what?!!!
Kiera Knightley
Just picture the girl on a rope, just picture the rope in a bed room, just picture the swinging night ….. I think you get the picture! ;)
Catherine Zeta Jones
What can I say? Latino, sexy, hot!!!!
Jessica Biel
This is one drop dead gorgeous babe, one would love to love and never ever get into a fight with – that is – if you did not want to be punched in the …..
Hard core fighter, in your face, hot!
Scarlett Johansson
She has oomph! Athletic, most definitely has the stamina of an ox!!! So she goes on the lust list
Penelope Cruise
She is sensual, sultry ….. and Oooooh! She can cook! Unbeatable combo
Anne Hathaway
She makes it into the list because she has kissable lips. So does Angelina Jolie. Heyyyy wait a minute, so does Preity and …… Oh forget it – whateva!
Saved the best for the last
Michelle Rodrigues
The bad girl a guy would like to do bad things with!! She can kick ass, she can play fast, she can be downright dirty. In short she can drive a man insane!
Phew!!!
Done the tag !
Hope my sons dont read this post!
Just Like That
Did you know that styes can be cured by drinking dandelion tea?
Funny, all Ithought dandelions were used for was to blow them into other kids faces to piss them off!
Or that there is a place in Sydney called Madonna’s Bra?
You got to hand it to the Aussies. Anything and everything has to be brashly done – naming places, racist attacts etc.
Moreover, I also know the rates of property in Merida Yucatan and Stilbaai, Cape Town
No, I am not preparing for any upcoming Kaun Banega Karorepati! This is just some of the stuff I have learnt while freelancing.
Yup, I bit into the freelancing world and it is threatening to swallow me whole!
But it is fun. I open my mail box in the morning to check for assignments and I have plenty.
Today’s fare is Snowmobiling, How to recover data from hard disk crashes, the Loch Ness Monster and Osteoporosis. Quite a mix isnt it?
I love the exercise this is giving my brain.
However, now I have a wishlist! Godji are you listening?
1. A browser that speaks to me. I mean if I am gonna spend the rest of my life with the browser, the least it can do is tell me it loves me and I am terrific!
2. A software that types as a speak. My arms and shoulders would thank me for it. I mean churning out 15 articles a day is …. taxing
3. Maxine’s in your face attitude for certain clients
4. Rita Skeeter’s enchantingly devious and nasty mind and her Quick Quotes Quill that works with her thought signals
5. Phoebe’s or Luna Lovegood’s intuitive knowledge about all the useless (to me) stuff in this world
6. A good cook! I know this is off the subject but I just thought of putting it here
7. Patience
Victim Mentality
Indian Home Maker posted a blog post on a conversation she heard at a beauty parlour. The ladies were talking about a man beating up his pregnant wife while the wife’s brother stood out in the balcony.
It really disturbed me. No not because the man was behaving like a beast and a coward, and the brother opted out of the fight and stood outside – which means he kind of condoned the behaviour. It is cheap I agree – but is there all there is to it?
It points at a deeper malaise in the entire scenario.
It points at society sanctioned violence
It points at women being conditioned to accept this violence
It also shows that women are not respecting theselves and being confident or desperate enough to walk out of this situation.
It disturbs me because I was there some years ago. When relationships break up, it leads to hatred, and it degenerates into violence, it I can understand how helpless the woman who is carrying the child from that relationship must be feeling.
People will stand by. They will want you to compromise, so that all is right with their world, and you dont destroy their pretty picture of a perfect happy family. People will even bully you so that you stay put in that violent atmosphere, and they can keep sympathising with you and let it continue.
I think it is up to the woman to make a decision. I have a friend who is in one such relationship. She is a PhD and lives in a small town where every one knows her and her husband. He locks her up and goes out to work. He sets her children to spy on her. Now the kids tell tales on her to her husband, and watch her getting beaten up. It is how they have been brought up.
She did not respect herself …. she did not value her own worth, and now she lives among her own people who have become the enemy. She did not walk out when she could have taken the kids and moulded them to be better.
Now she does not know any better, neither do her three children. This is the home they have built. Its ugly and sick.
She rings up often asking for sympathy.
Strangely (and I am sorry but not ashamed to say this) I do not have any sympathy for her.
Even God helps those who help themselves.
I am just a flawed human being.
