Dear Mr. Ridley Scott

Dear Mr. Ridley Scott
I was there to see the debacle of 'Prometheus' today. I have always associated your name with great movies like Gladiator, American Gangster, Black Hawk Down, Thelma & Louise, Alien.....but it seems something has gone really wrong this time. I am completely disappointed with not only the story (you really paid some guy for this story?), but the editing and screenplay as well. Was there a deadline for you to make a sci-fi in 2012?...don't tell me you believe in the Mayan calendar!
Au revoir

The saas-bahu serial hate post

My total abhorrence for all the saas-bahu serials is very well known to the ppl who know me. I've had to endure numerous hours of unsolicited captive torture at their hands coz this is what is showing at dinner time....ALWAYS. Will delve into the social repurcussions in a later post...first start with the titles.

These are the ones which I run into mostly...

Is pyaar ko kya naam doon: You gotta be kidding me. For the rest of us its been pretty easy to name it. I have a feeling..you don't just look dumb..

Ye rishta kya kehlata hai: OK....Soooo...lets see this again. You're married to this guy...you have a kid....and u're still wondering ki ye rishta kya hai..? Advise for your hubby...lucky dude...RUN!

Mann ki awaaz Pratigya: Listen all girls! Its OK for sadak chhap romeos to blackmail you into marrying them. We assure you it'll turn out well finally. (What bakwaas!)

Diya aur baati hum - This should have been titled 'padh likh ke dehaati hum'. Woman, if u can be tricked into marrying someone like this, u sure spent your years dreaming...and u deserve what happened.

Sajda tere pyar mein - (Even though Devlina tells me please don't comment on this one) Motto: Praan jaye per akal na aaye

To consider it as life..or not

We do not acknowledge or register life until a human being is born....we do not record the date of conception, even thogh it can be pointed out...we ask for a date of birth instead..so for all practical purposes, there is not individuality assigned until we are born...

Kyon poochte ho

kyon poochte ho ki aaj bhi mujhko
wo mela kyon yaad aata hai
kyon wo mucchchad choodiwala
reh reh kar awaaz lagata hai
sochoge kya hai us pal mein
jo laut hamesha aata hai
mano ya na mano main bhi
thaga sa reh jata hoon
jab bhi wo lamha mujhko
aise guhaar lagata hai
aasmaan se chhan kar boondein
jab bhi girne lagti hain
har baar mujhe bina bhoole se
wo chehra yaad aa jaata hai
hari ghaas per bahut door tak
ghanton chalna mere sang
fugge wale dahi pakode
bulbule yaad aa jate hain
tak taki bandhe meri aankhon mein
sochte muskurate poochte batiyaate
chamakte khelte sahejte bhatkate
wo naina yaad aa jate hain
gar yaad hamesha yoon hi aati
to bhi shayad achcha tha
per ye bhi uske jaisi hai
har baar dang kar jati hai
na jane kyon koshish kar bhi
saansein tez ho jatin hain
jab bhi ab bhi kabhi bhi
wo chehra yaad aa jaata hai

We're outrageous

Heard Muthalik and his henchmen are scot free...and the bugger has the audacity of making his intentions known that he wants to sue the 'Pink Chaddi' campaigners. By this time, someone else has allowed an FIR against Renuka. This isn;t just ironic, but unjust and outrageous at the same time? The villians who we shld charge with disrution of law and order, molestation, assault, infringment on human rights, threatening, intimidation and if I may add threat to life - are sitting outside and planning th same stuff for others? How can we allow this to happen? If they feel so irritated being called the Indian Talibans, then they should rethink of what they are doing!!!

The look in the eye

I was watching 50 first dates da other day...Adam Sandler..Drew Barrymore. Towards da end...on da boat..she comes up after she's watched her refresher video. And then the look in her eye when seh sees her daughter for da first time.. isn't tht how we're supposed to feel when we see a loved one..?? But we lose it sometime along the line and blame it on other distractions. We all know we live only once, but we see so few living it like tht. We all love someone, but some of us take so much time to realise what they actually mean to us.

Mat poocho...

mat poocho ye kaise hua hai
mat poocho ye kyon hua hai
ye bhagya ka khel hai
ya fir taaron ki maya hai
mat poocho

mat poocho kya hone wala hai
mat poocho kaun jab aane wala hai
kya dega tumhen aayega
ya fir jo hai wo bhi le jayega
mat poocho

mat poocho ishwar hai..ya nahi
mat poocho kya bhoot dekha hai kahin
kya sab kuch sirf maaya hai
ya fir kisi ne khel rachaaya hai
mat poocho

mat poocho ki yaad kyon aati hai
mat poocho ki kaise neend aati hai
kyon main sab bhool nahi paata hoon
ya dil ko samjha nahi paata hoon
mat poocho

gar poochna hai to ye poocho
yaadon ki dharohar to bator li hai
per kab tak ise sahej paonga
rishtey..poore...kuch adhoore
kya jode rakh paonga
vaade....chhote..bade..sache..jhoothe
kya main nibha paonga
sach-jhooth achai-buari ki aankh micholi mein
kya khud ko zinda rakh paonga
jo raat chin li maine usse
kya kabhi use wapas de paonga
