Bunty Aur Bubli

i watched the new abhishek bachan-rani mukherjee flick this afternoon. considering the fact that my hindi, over the past five years, has deteriorated to next to nothing, i did have fun. Abhishek Bachan is Eye Candy and if there is one thing going for the movie, that is it!!!
the movie is cute and abhishek bachan and rani mukherjee make one of the cutest couple i've seen in indian cinema. apart from these two, there's the big b who plays the only other significant role and there is aishwarya rai in a song. and the song of aishwarya's in the movie is one of the best!!! the woman tries to seduce old man amitabh in the process making a fool of herself and there is abhishek bachan who is the cutest cutest and most good looking hero i've drooled over in a while..(oh and shah rukh in his new movie 'paheli' is real cute too...the mustache does wonders for the man)..

on the whole...the movie is good fun...but i enjoyed the aishwarya-abhishek-amitabh song the most throughout the movie, of course thats the same way i enjoyed the g-u-j-j-u gujju song in kal ho na ho, the most in the movie. though i have to say bunty and bubli as a movie has a lot more going for it than kal ho na ho did.

the only saving grace of kal ho na ho was saif man....him and his comedy...and i got dragged to that movie twice!!!! seriously...

getting back to bunty and bubli...amitabh is just ok. and he looks so haggard its unbelievable...maybe thats what they aimed for in the movie...
the last movie i watched in that theatre was a shahrukh and rani mukherjee movie that was horrid!!! they only cried throughout the movie. and it was set in greece!!! and shah rukh cried more than mukherjee did...i'm all for guy's showing their sensitive side and crying once in a while but that..that was overdoing it royally...and compared to that movie bunty and bubli is a winner all the way!!!

the UNSC seat and india's worthiness???

ok...this is pretty much the talk of the town...literally...so maybe its time i put my thoughts down..

i believe India deserves her place on the UNSC. lets not get too scrutinizing here...then those on the SC should be subjected to the same...and well they'd be squirming... we need to have representation and better india than china anyday... as a country, i believe, we are more forthcoming with help, sympathy and a shoulder to lean on....and maybe this is my patriotism speaking...but, i'd vouch for india on the UNSC over any of the other developing nations...

now...the conditions of the people of the nation, the states over is pathetic and there are no reasons to justify such apologetic conditions. But lets not blame the center for that...at least not target them first. it is the state goverments responsibility to care for its people, thats why you have a separate govt for every state, if not we could have just done with one govt up there in delhi.

each state has ministers delegated work.and there are those at the centre with the same portfolios.why cant we leave the honchos at the centre handle our international ties and start targetting the lazy ministers at each state??
i mean, the whole govt set-up is that parallel to any industry. the main guy at the top, the comapny's face to the world. then the various ministers to take care of the various hitches within the company. like say a car company with numerous factories manufacturing each part to make the ride of the customer that much more comfortable and enjoyable. and each factory has its own head, its own personnel to deal with the varied everyday problems. why cant the indian govt be a well oiled and smoothly running operation as are so many companies in the country itself?? truth be told, the comcept of red-tape-ism is such an excuse as never before...its disgusting to know that theer are men and women out there who promised to make life that teeny bit better for you and then once they got elected, turned around for a nice big snooze with you paying for his air-conditioning,food,big car and flight charges through your taxes.... i mean seriously...

i sometimes that nothing short of dramatics like in mani rathnam's ' aayitha ezhuthu' can give this country its much need shot of energy....and i'm game.... i mean what could be better than educating the ignorant and helping the country grow as one??? i know that sounds pretty corny...but wht the hell!!! i mean it man...and i think anyone who does actually care enough to debate on india's UNSC chances has pretty solid views too...

its , to say the least, endearing....very...maybe we should form a youth-for-india group or something and make miracles happen.....and miracles no less they have to be....

what is right and what is not??

How do you know if your advice is right for the situation? how do u know how it is to be in a specific situation? and are you perfect enough to judge anyone? do we know what the other person is going through? how can we know thoughts of theirs?? how is it, that we judge another by our morals? are our morals right?? isn't it true that 'one man's bread is another's poison' ??

these are just random questions that popped into my head when a couple of us were discussing a friend of ours. she's nice and smart but there seem, to me, to be innumerable faults that just so shadow the good...see...i'm making a judgement here...and all of us have always passed judgements on her and her behaviour these past couple of years...

she went away to study,study abroad. now, she's coming back...and i dont know if i want to meet her....i dont know if i'm being a bitch here, for she has never done anything to annoy me or get me to hate her...but there are things she has done... to people i know and general things.. i don't think i respect her too much really.... but then again who am i to say if what she did was right or not?

maybe that is her way of reacting to incidents and happenings...all of us react in different ways to different things... maybe more complicated ways... and for her defence i'll say this...she's not had enough tragedies in her life... more than most people ,me included, can handle ... and i admire her for that.... for actually being able to get on ... though it has never been that simple for her to move on...

i just dont know... i like her...but there are also things i could never forgive or accept.. and yes these are my morals(values..whatever) talking....
its simple enough to forgive...but forgetting isn't so easy and more often than not...the thing that needs or wants forgetting is something big enough to modify your perspective, of the world and all its accompaniments....

well saying all this doesn't exactly resolve anything... but i think i'll go meet her anyway....she's a friend and she's got more substance than some and we all know that nobody is without faults.... isn't it about overlooking the faults that make a relationship???

Holi-Holi-Holidays

Exams just got over today...and i did well....i actually got 4 out of 5 sixteen marks right!!! and the feeling is so so so good!!! i mean its so rare for me to actually walk out of some exam and say hey i did that well, i'm expecting a 90...i think my parents would have a heart attack!!!!

it was like unbelievable that all my answers were right!!!!man u know how good that feels???anyway let me not go on rambling about my exams, now that they are over...until the results come!!

so.....its the holidays...i dont have to do anything remotely as killing as studying.....and it feels great to have that off my shoulder(like i did a load of it anyway!!!!)...
i think i've got the next one month mapped out though.....reading ,exercising ,maybe a stint training at some company lucky enough to have me, preparing for the almighty G-R-E....and catching up on some movies...and well....i guess anything else that comes my way and takes my fancy and maybe even roll out a couple of papers in the mean time and shock my HOD....hmmm...now thats a thought that makes u wanna move ur ass!!!!

anyway...i think i'm gonna catch up on some of the shut eye i missed while studying hard for my math paper...so...

OH MY GOD!!! she's wearing...she's..wearing..

Seriously haven't men in madras seen a pair of legs before?? haven't they seen women wearing shorts??? and i mean shorts man!!! it not like i'm wearing a bikini and strutting around town am i??

Its gross...its disgusting...i mean seriously...wearing shorts and walking around in madras turns SO many heads and its to lech..
and i swear that if anyone gives me crap about 'then maybe you shouldnt be wearing them', i'll whack them twice as hard as i want to whack the guy on the road...

but sometimes, i accept, its flattering...when u actually know that you can have that guy eating out of your hand.....gives u the hey-i've-got-u-by-the-ear feeling....

but its not just men either...women look at u like ur commiting a crime...pattis on the road avoid looking you in the eye and this morning at the airport,while dropping daddy off, two women there looked at me in my shorts and my doggie t-shirt and were looking and whipering till i drove off...its unbelievable!!!
you'd think i was some convicted murderer or something they recognised off television!!!

but then again no one till now has had the guts to do anything more than stop and stare at me...seriously man they are not gonna mess with a woman who'd actually walk around the city streets wearing a pair of SHORTS!!!!! it takes too much attitude....more than they can handle anyway...

for all the nice people in the world...and especially...

well...what can i say...this afternoon had me in one of my weirdest moods ever. i mean seriously. for no apparent reason i was all down and irritated and annoyed and bugged(i'm trying hard to find words to replace 'pissed' here).and it didnt help my mood that the blog i was typing then just went poof..and got lost....an hour's precious work. and then the fact that i should be studying and wasn't. add to that an email account that evades opening for you and when it finally does...gives you nothing new !! so all in all it was afternoon that was bad! and then came along our man. sweetie that he is....sat and listened and took all the crap i said for the next hour or so...i mean seriously, he didnt have to. but he did. and am i glad he did. he just hung around and made me laugh and cracked me up and well...he was being such a nice shoulder to lean on and blah..

i was so wound up that i know, that had i spoken to anyone who went around saying 'wht happ sweetie' and 'tell me whts wrong' and had let me whine..i'd have cried..i know it...and i feel so much the better for not giving in to that.

it was a pretty novel way actually....getting at each other and then actually being nice and then his advice on nuts!!

i know this is somewhat a senti-senti blog and all...and i might regret putting it up later...but what the hell!!! btw the sweet heart was archan!!!(i kinda hope i'm embarrasing him actually!!)
:)

indian women rule!!!

this is a mail i got, forwarded by a friend....they first part really turned me off...and i wanted to whack the woman.....but then there was the reply ....and it rules....seriously the guy needs a hug....a big one!!! and can u imagine it actually motivated me to write my blog....something i havent done in months!!


This letter was written in response to an article:

Dear Editor:

I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Indian male readers.
I am a White female who is engaged to an Indian male, good-looking, educated and loving. I just don't
understand a lot of Indian female's attitudes about our relationship.

My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Indian women
were slim to none. As he said they were either too fat, too loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage.

Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by Indian men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world

If Indian women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't they look at themselves and make some changes.I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks when we're out in public.

I would like to hear from some Indian men about why we white women are so appealing and coveted by them. Bryant Gumbel just left his wife of 26 years for one of us. Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Sydney Poitier, Kofi Anan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes...I could go on and on.

But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is why I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us White women because so many of your men want us.

Get your acts together and learn from us and we may lead you to treat your men better.

If I'm wrong, Indian men, let me know.

Disgusted White Girl, Somewhere in VA.

The Response:

Dear Editor:

I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White Girl.
Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old Indian man. I graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I consider myself to be among the ranks of successful Non-White men.

I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want to set the record straight of why Indian men date white women.

Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why Indian men dated white women was because they were considered easy. The Indian girls in my neighborhood were raised traditionally. They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls.

Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of Indian males date white women because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of Indian men, because of insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our Indian women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many Indian men look for a more docile woman. Someone we can control.

I have talked to numerous Indian men and they continuously comment on how easy it is to control and walk over their white women.

I just want to set the record straight. I want A Disgusted White Girl to know that not all successful Indian men date white women. Non-Whites like Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, Morris Chestn!ut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Rock all married strong Non-White women. And, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, who openly or secretly desire Non-White women over white women. Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few.
I just don't want the 'Disgusted White Girl' to be misinformed.

Stop thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when Non-White Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs. Read your history!

It was the Non-White woman that taught you how to cook and season your food. It was the Non-White woman that taught you how to raise your children. It was Non-White women who were breastfeeding and raising your babies during slavery. It is the Non-White woman that had to endure watching their fathers, husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail.

Indian women were born with two strikes against them: being Non-White and being a woman. And, through all this, Still They Rise!

It is because of the Indian women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I could never date anyone except my Indian Queen. It is not just the outer beauty that captivates and draws me to them. It is not the fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and shades that I love them. Their inner beauty is what I find most appealing about Indian women. Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and their determination to succeed and reach their highest potential while enduring great pain and suffering is why I have fallen in love with Indian women.

I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy and envy than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin. If you are so proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale skin? Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with unnatural and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous? I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have what the Non-White woman has.

BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can walk over and control, I would give you a call. But, unfortunately, I am looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife and mother to my children. Someone who can be my best friend and understand my struggles. I
am looking for a soul mate and; unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill.

No offense taken, none given.

Signed,

Indian Royalty.

well...doesn't it want to make u give his highness, whoever stood up for us ...a nice kiss even!!!
