Won a War? So what? Did you win a reality show?

Not dissing the dead, but what has Ishmeet Singh done to earn a State Funeral? Somebody please tell me that that's a mistake, because they had to make an exception even for Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.

So Unfair

After this, this is just so unfair.

Incidentally, I think those two inventions will never go together.

And I have already copyrighted "Got a charger?" as a pick-up line.

Also, "My cellphone is little low on battery".

Here endeth my attempt at writing cheeky posts.

AB is for Ayyar B

You may have already read my comments on Chandrakanta the novel (if you haven't, there's a not-so-subtle link in there). But still I believe, ironing out the "dated" parts, any movie or TV serial can be made very interesting if it remains loyal to the storyline (which the original TV serial did not).

Why did I bring this up? A new movie from Vidhu Vinod Chopra starring Big B is coming up. But I will reserve my judgement till I see it.

Because the movie is "inspired by Chandrakanta", and not based on it (the trailer confirms it, since the novel doesn't have any direct "wars", neither does it take place in english-speaking world).

Because the last movie from VVC with Big B is "Eklavya".

And then, there's the trailer:



I rest my case...

Sabr Ka Phal...

Those who have been reading my blog for some time should probably sit down. You may need to have smelling salts (or chappals, as your taste may be) handy before you go on.

Now that you are ready, you should know that I haven't owned a copy of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in almost a year since it came out. Till today...

And now, I am a proud owner of a Deluxe copy, with full color artwork and hard slip-cover.

Not to mention, it cost me less than a normal hardcover copy, and 80% less than normal price (paperback is due this month). Needless to say, I am as happy as anybody can be... (And a long weekend is a day away)
