Ghajini would be great in politics

Following one more shoe-throwing (and missing) incident, this time aimed at our PM, Congress spokesman said,

It (such incidents) reflects the kind of bad governance and law and order situation in the state.

He also wanted BJP to apologize to Congress for these incidents.

So, I am guessing Congress already apologized to itself for incidents in Delhi (P. Chidambaram) and Kurukshetra (Navin Jindal)?

Puzzle me this

I am not sure what’s more sad here:

screenshot That my tastes don’t match completely with myself… or that I am my best soul mate?

Engineer Here

So, I was just looking at the TI site, as I am prone to do when bored, and I came across this:

which I found to be an admirable suggestion, given that I am an engineer.

So what I didn’t develop laptops, MP3 players, cell phone or something like that. You can always thank me for this.

 

 

P.S. No, I am not anywhere in that last video. But…

I don’t have any words for this

All India Congress Committee general secretary B Hariprasad said that Congress party believes in tradition and heritage of India, and said:

The culture of a person, society or nation is measured on how they treat children, women and aged people.

He went on to say,

First he should dump Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the oldest man who is in hurry to become Prime Minister L K Advani in the Arabian sea.

I never knew that dumping our elders in sea was the Indian culture.

Ye Dilli Hai Mere Yaar

Dilli (or Delhi for the English readers out there) for me, till now, is just a stop on my way to somewhere: An afternoon spent at the bus station on the way to Manali, a night and half-day spent on Hazrat Nizamuddin platform on the way back, when we missed our original train(It’s a long story: our bus was slow, and then the cops caught us for speeding. And that was just 2 events). And then an evening and night at the Indira Gandhi International airport when my flight to Paris was delayed by 6-7 hours. (Do you see a pattern here? Not sure, just checking…)

Not to mention the annual reports of airport closing due to fog, and the heat in summer.

So basically, Delhi 6 was a revelation for the ignorant me. Apart from many other things, I learnt that Dilli is a mehfil and a mastaanon ki basti (I should agree, if only from a foodie point of view. That aloo paratha and lassi was…).

But then I had another big surprise waiting for me today. Half-asleep, I plugged in my iPod in the bus, and the song started,

Iske baayein taraf bhi dil hai
Iske daayein taraf bhi dil hai

Never knew Dilli was a Time Lord. Now where’s that Doctor guy?
