Umm… Actually, I didn’t

 

But then, if I knew that, why exactly would it be a “news”?

 

 

P.S. Previously on unfortunate news placement, politically incorrect news.

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)?

 

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.

 

Is this what they call Nerd-vana?

I don’t know anything about Star Trek except that there’s a weirdly shaped spaceship (but then, is there any other kind?) in it called Enterprise.

Furthermore, Lost for me is what Australian cricket team did in India (yeah, that’s not getting old soon).

But, I am pretty sure any of these guys ever starred in Lost, thousands, if not millions, of nerd-heads will be bursting out of sheer pleasure.

 

scifi.com did it.

Who needs Comedy Central…

…when you have online news headlines? (And I am not even talking about unintended(?) double-entendres. Double… get it? Yeah, that was a bad one.)

So, I am getting my daily morning dose of news, when I come across:

Metro breaks through the tunnel

I click on the link, getting all my “breaking the barriers”, “light at the side of tunnel” etc. jokes, and what do I find out? It’s some news about how Metro Corporation completed some tunnel. RIP my jokes, they never saw the light of the day. (Who said “Thank God”? Stand up now)

And while we are on the subject of headlines: I know the screen space is a commodity not to be wasted, and often you have to put two headlines next to each other. But when you do this:

Now that’s just…

News You Just Can’t Make Up

From Indian Express:

After a 12-hour long power cut, … on Wednesday morning all the lifts and water pump motors in their buildings started running in the reverse mode.

In short, you are running late for office, and find out that there is no water for shower (the pumps are sucking water out of overhead tank into the ground tanks). Somehow managing that, you rush into the elevator on the way to the underground garage. You get off on the terrace.

Given the date of the news, I posit somebody had a wild night.

 

 

P.S. While we are on the topic of “making” something (up), what is the meaning of: film producer starring Zaffar and Nikki?

Did you mean: ogle

Now I know why you can't spell "Google" without "ogle" ;)

Supergirl is not Indian

Supergirl (or Super-Girl) = Kara Zor-El = Kal-El's biological cousin.

If Superman romances Supergirl, that would be the main reason the film will bomb at box office.

Also, Supergirl is from Krypton, not India.

Rated R

Rani Mukherjee "punished" in a classroom setting for "cheating"... If you think you know where that is going (don't hide that, I know most of you know what I meant), you are mistaken.

But don't worry. She did make out up with the teacher towards the end.



P.S. While we are on the subject of "news": I am not completely knowledgeble about Marxism, but isn't "Marxist Boss" kind of oxy-moronic? (You may have to go to Rediff homepage to see the headline)

Elementary, My Dear Watson

If you got less that 3 correct answers to this quiz on "Prince Caspian", that means you can't read.

Oh yes, quiz answers should be easily workoutable, but give us some challenge please.

Incidentally,

C S Lewis' adaptation of the children's fantasy series

I am pretty sure there is something wrong in that sentence.

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?

I would be ashamed...

One of the "top" 3 stories on Indian Express Movies page is:

Big B unveils Bhootnath
After romancing young heroines, Big B will now be seen with a child artist.

I sincerely hope that the movie is not what the summary implies.
