very nice! high five!
ever had one of those failed high fives? where your hands miss each other completely? or worse, your thumbs meet and get locked together…
if you think you have a bad time, ryan seacrest had it much worse when he tried high-fiving a blind guy on american idol last week.
and to celebrate the occasion, a blind-guy joke:
q: why does stevie wonder sway his head from side to side while singing?
a: he’s trying to find the microphone.
dedication is all it takes to be a reporter
i hear ndtv’s looking for a replacement for barkha dutt… the terrorists were complaining that she didn’t repeat the details of the operation often enough.
this man’s capable enough, i tell you.

let me be, please.
i wish rabble-rousers would wait until the whole bombay issue is sorted out before they start sms’ing me that i should vote for them. and if you really want my vote, get your spellings right.
this morning, i get a message from jg abrol ( i don’t know who he is either) that we “can no longer afford a week government.” i’m with you on that. but we don’t really need another two-week government, either.
keep me out of this whole thing, will you? i’m not registered to vote, even. i’m just a malayali.
it is better to die than to be a coward
nepal’s answer to bob marley: dharam gurung with his hit single gorkha soldiers.
sample lyrics, with accent:
you’re the gorkha sholdiers
you’re the ishtrong sholdiers
you’re the great warriohs
you’re the brave sholdiers
thoujands of you way preejoners
thoujands of you way eenjored
thoujands of you way meeshing
you never lose your day-ring
thanks to pg for giving me a reason to blog.
airtel and net neutrality? dream on.
okay. i’m not a fan of airtel’s ethics. i think we have that established by now. they, obviously, are no fans of mine either.
but this time, they’re just being arseholes. isps across the world have gotten flak for it, but airtel decided to jump on a bandwagon that’s been tipped over several times already. do they not do their research?
rant being over, here’s how their latest rubbish works… when a user types in a web address that doesn’t exist (i’m using AirtelIsRunByRetards.com as an example), your browser should take you to a page that says the web address can’t be found. what airtel has done is this: they take that page and chuck it out the window (ha ha! pun!); and show you their own page, with their own ads, run by a company called “on speed.” well, the r&d team at airtel is definitely on something, but i’m guessing it’s a more malicious drug.
nice work. what’s next? insert their ads into search results? net neutrality, scumbags. look it up.
disclaimer: i don’t normally use internet explorer, but a screenshot about crap deserves a crappy browser. get firefox.
what goes around, comes around
i’ve said it time and again… and here’s solid proof of bad karma coming back to bite you in the ass. delhi is way too over-run with gypsies, tramps and thieves, and we keep getting conned by them, repeatedly…
and this season’s assholes: the agency responsible for this fiasco had it coming… what were they trying to scrimp on this time? the 5k that it would have cost them to hire a half-assed doctor?
yes.. it’s to do with (yet another) client ripping us off.
someone once mentioned that my bad-mouthing lousy clients on my blog would deter potential clients. i don’t think so. honestly, i don’t give a fuck. we’ve made it ample clear that we’re selective about who we accept as clients. even at the cost of not getting as much work as we’d like to. it’s better that way, than to workfor people who turn heel overnight. and run at a loss in the long run.
and if a “potential client” is threatened by the thought of being written about, there’s definitely a lot of dishonesty lurking in his mind. we don’t need that breed of client, thank you.
snap my picture!!!
anyone been watching utv world movies? there are certain things about it that bug me to no end… conceptually, it’s a good idea. international films, 24 hours a day. with a bit of hollywood thrown in.
but really, 6 movies a day, including repeats? and a name that’s a rip off of two rival channels? and unnecessary censoring? and english subtitles on english films? and incorrect ones, at that?
i was watching scary movie 2 the other night, and there’s this one bit that’s a spoof on charlie’s angels. you know the bit with the prodigy’s smack my bitch up. that’s right… censored lyrical subtitles: snap my picture!
icontrol: the tv is your masseur
mtnl has just launched its version of tivo, called icontrol. with a slogan that is typically sarkari in more ways than one: “tv is servant.” and what does this servant do? besides recording your programs, it even offers maalish services.
that’s right… dth and regular cable guys don’t give you that, do they?
