OH... MY… GOD… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTFness has scaled new heights. I refrained from writing about Slumdog Millionnaire so far even when my blogger friends made it perfectly clear that not writing about Slumdog is like a crime in blogosphere. But UPA has forced me to. Of all the people who would want a piece of Oscar, our government was the least expected.

"In an unmistakable resonance of the previous NDA government's `India Shining' slogan, Congress floated the idea of an `achieving India' and listed among the milestones the Indo-US nuclear deal, Chandrayaan, near 9% growth and the total sweep of the Oscars." – TOI

But of course they are right; if UPA was not there, could we have sustained the poverty on which they could make a movie? Duh….. I mean aren't our politicians at least adults. How could anyone make such comments I simply fail to understand.

Apparently someone also said it is "a film of India, for India, by India"?!?!? Gasp! Gasp! Cant take more WTFness…

    Ha ha ha, never mind these are not new things. When Rehman won the Oscars all the ppl wanted to take a share of the pie. Good that Congress is thinking to fight the election on development and progress plank, coz certainly we are nt blind and we can see progress and developmnent only in terms of minority appeasement, inflation, recession and terrorism.

    Need we say more?

    come on Mr. Sreejit, Did BJP govt make any contribution to the development of society?? Did ever any oscar winning movie came out in BJP times!!! Be practical.... you have slumdog, gandhi all during Congress Times and links to Congress basics. Congress definitely has to win..... it is the govt of sufferers and suppressed. Taking care of the suppressed is not appeasement. The other factors mentioned by you has nothing to do with the govt. all the three factors werewell handled by Congress... thats why congress won Delhi...

    @GOD, or wotever,
    Its higgly illogical to argue with u, since one have an argument with a person at same mental level.
    For yr kind info, Sonia Gandhi, MMS, PC Laloo werent the directors of SDM. They were neither the actors nor did they do the music direction. And noone of them have no affiliation the Nehru-Gandhi fly, which is the biggest criterion to be a COng person.
    So how does Congress contribute to SDM. By making sure that slums are preserved so that the Danny Boyle's of the world can show them to the larger audience in the WEST.

    Comment if u must, but then make sure u have yr facts ready. This is not a space for you to clutter with your shit comments.

25 Random Things About Me

So I have been tagged Ani . And I need to list 25 random things about myself. It's funny that this happens just after I start the 'faboddity' section. So here it goes. Let me start with the one that you already know. I like grocery shopping more than shopping for clothes (I am a girl!) My world is black and white. Most of the times I can work out binary logic to everything. I don't like the grey areas. I hate conventions. I hate traditions for traditions sake. My favorite show during childhood was "I dream of Jeannie" and I almost believed that one day I might find a Jeannie of my own. My favorite blogger is Greatbong . My recent favorite movie is Gulaal. I am completely floored by its music. I am completely in love with Piyush Mishra. And I hate people who admire rubbish of a movie like Slumdog and can't appreciate an Indian movie like Gulaal. On a scale of Slumdog Oscar, Gulaal would win 100 oscars. I work out only to be able to eat fatty food free of gu...

Sibal’s Super Solution

Congress is just too good at this. Can't solve the solution of providing quality education to everyone? Because that requires allowing private investment in education; that requires more institutes; more courses; more teachers; more infrastructure. So what is the solution? Let's just scrap the damn exam! That ought to reduce the stress!! What his foolish supporters do not understand is that it's not the exam that's causing the stress. It's the lack of opportunities available after the exam that's causing it. Seats in good colleges are only sufficient for the students with 95%+. It's a do or die situation. Anything less than 95% and u can say good bye to your dream colleges which in most likelihood would be handful of colleges across the country. I am not really opposing the grading system. But I just think there are bigger issues at hand that need immediate attention rather than this populist measure.

What a ridiculous IDEA, Sirji!

I always thought that IDEA's television ad was irritating at some level. An IDEA can change your life. What relevance does it have with the product? What is so innovative about this service provider? Its public image is no more than a second fiddle to Airtel. The whole "what an IDEA sirji!" is even more irritating. And the fact that they use political revolution as the backdrop for selling a sim card can only be described as self delusion. As if their marketing concept was not irritating enough, their new ad harps on how socialist and poverty driven our economy is. There's a contactor who proposes to the Mantri (minister) to build a shopping mall in khet (agricultural land literally – but I guess they are referring to village as a whole). Here the IDEA man Abhishek Bachchan suggests that janta needs to be asked about their opinion. So he sends sms to all the janta (using IDEA!! Voila!!!) for their opinion. And as if to pacify the communists in India, all the poor fa...
