Indian P League

Like the NRIs shown in Johar/Chopra movies (I m not an NRI technically but since I am not residing in India as of now I qualify), I am very passionate about India and Indian P(Power, Politics, Paisa, Page 3)s. I do a lot of patriotic stuff like read all news portals blogs follow celebrities on twitter and then sit back and comment.It certainly helps that I dont have much to do except get my paycheck on the last friday of every month.

So I open NDTV, IPL is the most important national issue now that Shoania is married. So that no one loses interest 7 teams are still vying for 3 Semi spots, and hopefully till the last match. And then closely following is the THODI - who-is-the-bigger-jackass-contest. And then finally one line about the Storm that killed 100s in Bihar & Bengal. Who is interested in a Storm after all or in real news for that matter.

Itz all about Entertainment boss ! And the Indian P League is a consortium of everything mentioned above. I am not sure if Modi understands the differenece between a googly and yorker but for sure he understands the E value of all the Ps.Which is why he borrowed the most promising E idea from Zee and turned it into an amalgam of all the Ps. And to think he removed the C not just from the name but from the game and replaced with a P and made it a B$ DLF maximum - Sit back n enjoy the Karbonn Kamal times of Sreesanth and Bhajji. Of Angad Bedi and S Mallya and IPL nights. That of Item Numbers (and Item No Cricket), Rakhi Sawant's Swayamvar, Phir mile sur mera tumhara and Size Zero Values. Not to forget Behenji and her statues.. Be Grateful to the citi moments of success - the first ODI double hundred hit by the most deserving person .And that of Dev D and LSD. Not to forget that Bihar is registering 11% growth.

To hope and sense that prevail even in these blimpy times, but May the E never die !!

The limited man..

We did not act early. We allowed it to fester for nearly 10 years. We underestimated the gravity of the situation.

She(Mamta Banerjee) speaks to me on a number of subjects.
I think she wants...she'd like the Bengal elections to be brought forward...but I don't think there is a connection between the two.
Who am I to bring an election forward?

The security forces, the Chief Ministers want it. The CMs of West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Orissa asked for air support. They are the men on the ground.
Barkha Dutt: Why can't you convince the government?
P Chidambaram, Home Minister: Well, I will try.

The man sure is limited, and unfortunately is the home minister who, even more unfortunately still seems better than his predecessor (not just looks n angezi).
Where do we go from here.

A Hyped Kite !

Ok he looks awesome.. and he can dance (even in biscuit and mobile ads). But please I can no longer bear to hear about Hrithik Roshan's immense (over)acting talent. Agreed he has more expressions than Kaif/Padukone/Rai combined. But seriously acting talent, overacting may be. Even dance is beginning to bore. In 10 yrs if Jr AB's could do tolerable, can't Roshan learn a few new steps.

I couldn't see much of acting talent even after watching all of his movies. Yes, I have watched them all - thankfully not many. Except the Zoya Akthar movie - Luck By Chance can't watch any of that again. And yes as anyone in teenage during 2000 I was also crazy about HR. Phew! Kaho Na Pyar Hai, see that's proof that I have matured.Then followed all the disasters except Lakshya. But coming from the director of Dil Chahta Hai - not acceptable. Koi Mil Gaya and Krish - further doom. To say least a pathetic copy of Speilberg's ET. Dhoom 2 - a movie much like Hrithik - all style and no substance. And then came Jodha Akbar, Well after Lagaan and Swades, Gowariker came up with a mega serial with the near perfect looking protagonists. After Life In A Metro, Basu gives Kites with Roshan.

I am beginning to worry for Zoya Akthar. But Abhay Deol gives me hope.

PS : Today I unfollow Rajeev Masand (read his kites review). And never again I will follow anyone from bollywood except Rahul Khanna. For some serious jokes take a look at Roshans twitter.

Pak Revenge for IPL Snub?

Open ndtv ibnlive rediff, n Surprise - IPL is no more the most Important Primetime News Item (IPL Item number cricket). The honor goes to Indias latest dangerous liaison with Pak. Sania Mirza - Shoaib Malik wedding ! Well considering they are not even planning to settle down in Pak, this could be a tragic loss for Indian Tennis as, in all probability she would continue (really!) to play for India till second round and then proceed to recover from injuries. Oops - i meant she will continue to recover and in between play till second round.

The noble always-there-for-celebs-when-u-need-publicity Shivsainiks decided to help only to be left in awe by the sheer brilliance of Pak plan. An alleged first wife from the same city!Sena happily backed out - see they just wanted to help. They have only one principle - live and let live. Publicity for us & publicity for u. After all, page3 people too deserve to be on Page1 especially when a film is about to be released. Wannabes - Dare to think beyond page 3!

Well played Shoaib, That sure was a googly!
