55 worder for the petrol price rise

“Hurry up, let’s go”

“Where?” He asked, sipping his evening tea

“Petrol prices are rising, we need to fill the car”, she was wearing her shoes

“How much will we save” he grumbled

Bright smile and a reply “One more movie this month”

He smiled, tiredness forgotten as he fell in love with her again

My tribute to the gay march

DISCLAIMER: On a personal level male homosexuality makes me a tad more  uncomfortable than  lesbianism does not.  Possibly because I studied in all girls hostels and that was something I saw and dismissed with a shrug!  However I defend their right to live and love.

Gays do have a right to live free and with pride.  Its not new and definitely not unnatural.  Check out these quotes from the ancient world which seemed to be more tolerant than ours towards .

“Homosexuality,” Plato wrote, “is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments just as philosophy is regarded as shameful by them, because it is apparently not in the interest of such rulers to have great ideas engendered in their subjects, or powerful friendships or passionate love-all of which homosexuality is particularly apt to produce.” This attitude of Plato’s was characteristic of the ancient world.

“Zeus came as an eagle to god like Ganymede and as a swan to the fair haired mother of Helen. One person prefers one gender, another the other, I like both.” Author unknown

Plutarch wrote , “No sensible person can imagine that the sexes differ in matters of love as they do in matters of clothing. The intelligent lover of beauty will be attracted to beauty in whichever gender he finds it.”

In ancient Rome gay men were not thought to be less masculine than straight men and lesbian women were not thought of as less feminine than straight women. Gay people were not thought to be any better or worse than straight people-an attitude which differed both from that of the society that preceded it, since many Greeks thought gay people were inherently better than straight people, and from that of the society which followed it, in which gay people were often thought to be inferior to others.

This tolerance in the times which we consider as barbaric?

I am glad that stupid law that persecuted gay people is under fire!  The cops have one less set of people to bully.

New York …. Why?

new-york-poster

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 ………

Pam Ayres: Poetess with a sense of humor

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!!!
