The Actor or The Snack...

...which one do you think came first?

Perhaps this explains why I heard some ladies talking about Om Puri(/di?) being tasty recently (and they were not so old either). Phew!

Things CID Need...

1. An interrogation room: Sitting the criminal or suspect in the office with everybody standing in a circle around him/her? Invest in some two-way mirrors.


2. A new interrogation technique: It may be possible that a "kheench ke kaan ke neeche ek" is common interrogation technique for Indian Police, but can't you think of more psychological methods (as opposed to physical ones), at least in fiction? (Can't you "get inspired by" US shows in this aspect as you do in stories?)


3. Some new gestures for ACP Pradyuman: He looks like an aspiring Kumble, trying to practise spinning a ball. (Err... some may think of some lecherous scenarios, but this is a G-rated blog.)


4. Intelligent officers: Which police officer gets angry at the medical examiner when the proof does not match his "theories"?

What exactly does Siddhu drink?

Have you ever wondered that?

I don't know if it was the "wrong logo at wrong place" thing or a censorship thing, but this is what was seen in the last episodes(s, the friday and saturday ones) of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge.

I sympathize with the editor whose job was to go through the entire episode and make sure the glass was completely fuzzed out.

He must be extremely jealous of the editor who gets a similar job after every clothing scandal.

Cue the hate comments...

First off, let me say that every Indian should celebrate Abhinav Bindra's gold medal and pat himself on back as much as we do every time Sachin breaks a record. After all, we had equal contribution in both.

And Chintoo sums up my feelings* nicely (as he has been doing for years).

But till someone explains to me what Abhinav Bindra's connection to Maharashtra is, I maintain that ET filed this news correctly under "Politics" section, and not under "Sports".

Let the comments calling me an unpatriotic regionalist begin...

Update: Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Coroprations join the bandwagon with Rs. 10 lakh and 5 lakh respectively. (sorry, links in marathi). Am I missing his Puneri connection? Somebody please educate me about this.



*Translation of the comic for those who don't know marathi:
Chintoo: I have decided which sport should I make my career in. I want to be like Abhinav Bindra. Of course, it will be confusing if India wins more medals. But I will like to be confused like this.

Who's Your Favourite Potter Character?

After (Harry) Potter and (Peter) Pettigrew, I think it's time for Miss Snape. Or will it be Mr. Granger next? Who are you rooting for?

The Marauders are missing a Miss Lupin and a Miss Black, too... Maybe they will get their chance.
