MunnaBHAI thinking about BAHENJI...Manyta is worried

Find out why Manyta is unhappy...

Amartya Sen lacks sense of humour....

I just couldn't help sharing this. Times of India (April 21, 2009) Front page just below masthead one of the lead stories:
MULAYAM'S PROMISE TO BAN ENGLISH LEAVES AMARTYA SEN FUMING

It's a cracker of a story Amartya Sen either lacks understanding of humour or he lacks it completely. At least in this case, he completely missed the joke of our reverend leader Dharti putra (the son of the soil or shall i say soiled son) Mulayam Singh Yadav.
(Visualize: on his left his right hand man Amar Singh thinking about the next Bollywood star in his party and on his right Big B not this time it's Jhappi-Pappi Sanjay Dutt).

Mulayam Singh cracks this joke before every election BAN ENGLISH...BAN COMPOOTER, and gets votes because of his sense humour. And poor Nobel laureate Amartya Sen started fearing that Nobel Academy might ask him translate all his work in Hindi because of Mulayam.

Sir ji – No worries…it was a joke. Sada (our) Mulayam is quite mulayam (soft) on this promise in his election manifesto.

TV news???

Can you find the acronym TV news for me???

Over the period of last three months I have not viewed much of Indian TV news. But whatever I have seen I can derive one Taleban Views News.

All our reporters know more about Taleban than our intelligence agencies. I even suspect Taleban knows less about themselves than our own Deepak Chaurasia, Sumit Awasthi, Rajdeep Sardesai, Sagarika Ghosh, how can I forget Barkha Dutt…I owe one post in the honour of our own the one and only Lioness of Kargil, Gujrat, Gulf...Barkha.

If anyone can offer something better and authentic for this abbreviation TV news I will be grateful. Like Tootay Views (broken views) News, Tadkeywale Vichar (spiced up views) News…Punchline for news channel will be tooti khabrein bikharte reporters (broken news scattered reporters) - ODTV.

Feel free to let your imagination fly...waise bhi ham feel hi to jada free kartein hai…In any case we feel excessively free. Don't you trust me??? Look at our roads all the streaks on walls and puddles at footpaths will tell you the tales of our freedom.

I think I am lost in the freedom of expression… ;)

Delhi 6 - It's easy to HATE...difficult to LOVE???"

Delhi 6 is pin code, you no longer use, of Chandni Chowk, old Delhi.

Film critics (big intelligent people) say it’s not bad I say it’s good.

Characters not to be ignored: Gobar, Jalebi, Fakir with a mirror, Hanuman devotee Muslim shopkeeper, and of course Mashakali (pigeon)…Kala Bandar (Hate)

The movie is full of metaphors and brilliant narrative of internal turmoil of characters. As a people we are not free. And to get freedom what all is at stake, family, culture, values, society, religion and our eternal propensity to hate (KALA BANDAR (monkey) in the movie).

Lessons: The character Gobar (mean: duffer) was a common household help but with uncommon intelligence. Ordinary people (Jalebi and Gobar) possess extraordinary understanding of issues. Their questions are better (any time) than so-called well educated / elite and especially better than our politicians who get money to ask questions in the parliament.

Question: why it’s so easy to hate, find difference and disagree and so difficult to LOVE unconditionally?

What is he saying...there is some truth in it?

The first President to...

Soon-not-anymore American President George W. Bush ruled his country for eight years with ease, fun and quite humorously. He completed his father's agenda of finishing Saddam. And he had a lot more to his credit in every year of his rule.

But he will remember the year 2008 as a terrifically successful year. He rescued American giant AIG. He attempted to rescue the failing economy of the US. He bombed Syria.

And heads and shoulders above any other achievement was the distinction of becoming the first American President to be attacked by shoe…not once…but twice…double mazaa.

Can anybody tell…why is he not happy after the incidence? Because of the disgrace it brought...no not all...because he missed the opportunity to become the first American President to be beaten by shoes - while in office and in public.

And a congress committee, enquiring the issue, held top FBI official and president personal staff who failed to fathom any such scenario which could have fetched him opportunity to become the first.

He sacked his medical team because they had kept him so fit that his quick reflexes enabled him to evade the shoe.

I am not sure whether exactly any such thing happened but quite confident something similar must have taken place.

Neighbor turrrrrrrning Fidayein

Our next door neighbor has turned Fidayein...i m talking about Pakistan. It's committing suicide what we can do to prevent it.
I can see a belt lurking sheepishly from it's shirt. But the danger is that this belt is strapping not a normal bomb around it's waist. It's nuclear bomb it possesses. Can we give love to those who hate us?

Christ said, "Offer the other cheek once slapped." Do we have two Indias to offer?

Gandhi ji said "Being non-violent is the biggest courage." In this penultimate round are we ready to show courage...or we will show cowardice?

Mannu the brave heart

Manmohan Singh today said in Shilong he hoped that Pakistan would handover the terrorist involved in the Mumbai attacks.

Isn’t it like jumping in a lion’s cage hoping he/she is a vegetarian?
