Can anyone get dumber than this

Read this one:

...people are calling up the actor to know which team to bet on. After all, Emraan does play a bookie in the film "Jannat".


I mean, really? What next? Calling Aamir Khan to drive your taxi around?

What's in The Name?

There are some books you wouldn't want people know you are reading. I mean, you wouldn't want to show people that you are reading "How to Murder a Millionaire", would you now?

Think of all the questions...



P.S. I am NOT reading that book. Not now, not in foreseeable future.

Life Imitating Art

Yesterday, while going for lunch, I saw a swimming pool sharing a fence with a cemetery.

Now that's the stuff horror films are made up of :D

Hair-raising Déjà vu


Just saw the latest hairstyle sported by Aamir Khan. Where have I seen something like this before?

Oh yes, got it...

What's in The Name?

For all the Harry Potter fans out there, here's a million dollar question: What is this Lord Voldemort's weird obsession with names?

Born as Tom Marvolo Riddle, he wanted to change his name. I can understand that. The only reason he escaped getting beaten every day at school, was that he was such a powerful wizard.

So then, he goes and changes his name to Lord Voldemort. Still not pretty, but since he wasn't aiming for beauty, we can forgive him that.

But why go to all these lengths to get an anagramic name and all, and then prevent everyone from saying it out loud? If he wanted to stop people from saying his name, he could have easily kept his old name, and put the taboo on it, right?

(SPOILER ALERT:) Not to mention, he died getting called "Riddle". Talk about wastage of effort.(END OF SPOILER)

I am sure someone somewhere is writing a fan-fic about what would have happened if Lord Voldemort would have stopped obsessing over his name, and would have invested that time learning about things he didn't know.



P.S. OK, you didn't actually think I was going to pay a million dollars if you answered, did you?
