TV news???
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… ;)

Aadmin hoon Aadmi se oops logon se pyaar karta hoon
I remember i was discussing my credulity with a beautiful girl that how easily i trust people. I cited two lines of a famous Hindi song Aadmi hoon aadmi se pyaar karta hoon (I am a human being and love fellow human beings). And she immediately broke into laughter saying ab pata chala (now i know) why are you single? I was immediately classified as a case of gender bender.
In India, you quite often come across people in full blown mascara and foundation talking about their son and wife. In one such instance, i congratulated one of my acquaintances when her ooops his wife delivered a baby boy. I said, "family ka pehla mard mubarak ho (congrats for first male member of family)." It's bad - isn't it. It's a kind of stereotype our society is victim of.
I subjected my friend with mockery because he could not lead the life he wanted to। I became subject of mockery because people still find it difficult to swallow that being a gay is not fashionable or a choice. It's natural.
