The angry don, Gyanendra Yadav, decided to teach Chandrika a lesson and called the police to book Chandrika and his four-year-old son Mukesh. The cops, [...]

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments

So finally Mr. Bachchan has a blog. The blog seems to be up for a while and if he is really blogging, it is really cool. But I believe that it may be an flunky of him writing for him.
He talks about his involvement in politics in his blog and why he got out of [...]

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I finally took this trip to Kanha National Park and Tiger reserve. I avoided this for so long because I am one of those characters who wants everything to be really well planned before I embark on any adventure. I really can not bring myself to start any travel unless everything is planned to the [...]

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Themed Restaurant

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments

If one visits the restaurant in The Forum mall called “Sahib Sindh Sultan, it is themed like a railway coach. Themed restaurants are always interesting concepts.

But while on my visits to Bhopal, I ended up in this restaurant called Shaan-e-Bhopal (शान-ए-भोपाल). The restaurant was inaugurated on 17th March, 2007.

These guys have actually used a real [...]

Love hate relationship between BJP and PM

April 16th, 2008 · No Comments

BJP and PM seems to have an strange love hate relationship. Yesterday, BJP jumped to the defense of PM.
Rubbing salt on Congress’ wounds, the BJP on Wednesday alleged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been “insulted” because of the “make Rahul Gandhi Prime Minister” chant by a section of the ruling party leaders.

बिग बी को गुस्सा क्यों आता है

April 16th, 2008 · No Comments

आजकल बच्चन साहब को गुस्सा बहुत आता है। अब यहां ही लीजिये। खेल मंत्री श्री एम एस गिल ने ऐसा भी क्या कह दिया। उनका तो इतना ही कहना था कि ओलम्पिक एक खिलाड़ियों से संबंधित आयोजन है इसलिये ओलम्पिक की मशाल की दौड़ में नेताओं और अमिनेताओं को शामिल नहीं हो ना चाहिये।

Morons and parenting

April 13th, 2008 · No Comments

I always believed that people who are morons should decide for themselves and opt out of being parents. Today this belief has become more strong.

Pot calling the kettle black

April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Hindi film industry is well known for plagiarizing but this is clearly the case of pot calling kettle black. After Mr. Roshan “got inspired” from the tunes from Mr. Ram Sampath, he sued them in Mumbai High Court. The high court judge gave a judgment against Mr. Roshan. Now he is claiming that Mr. Ram [...]

चोरी और सीनाजोरी

April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

हिंदी फ़िल्म व्यवसाय में चोरी तो बहुत ही आम बात है पर राकेश रोशन साहब तो चोरी और ऊपर से सीनाजोरी की कहावत तो सच बनाने में लगे हुए हैं। अभी उनकी फ़िल्म क्रेज़्ज़ी - ४ के संगीत को लेकर उनको मुंबई उच्च न्यायलय ने दोषी ठहराया तो उस पर उनका जवाब था कि राम [...]
