KWK returned yesterday, ie; Feb 11th, with Karan, and the usual junta. There was Sharukh, Kajol and Rani. Shahrukh was flanked on either side by the two second cousins, but that didn’t stop the man from letting loose his ad-libbing tongue. He said stuff to this effect : Karan : What would you do if […]

When I cry
My kids are singing this song. And I’m singing it with them – we sort of get all high-pitchy and operatic when we get to the “when I cry” part. The song is from one of the SpongeBob episodes, and Squidward sings it. When my tearducts get issue,I can’t use just any tissue.I need four-ply,Four-Ply,Four-Ply,When […]

It’s the end of the year. Imagine that – a whole year went by and it feels like we were just celebrating the end of 2005 ! And since I’m in the let’s-review-the-year mood (see my Top 5 films of 2006), here are the Top 3 hindi comedy shows on TV : 1. Naya Office […]

Some days back there was a voice message on my answering machine. In a male Indian sounding voice it said, that now Direct TV viewers had free access to Doordarshan India. Imagine that !

I’ve been hearing obout the brouhaha over the clothing slip-ups (pun intended) at Lakme India Fashion week.

I’ve watched a couple of episodes of “Men Maange More” on Star One, and its hosted by Yudhishtir (or Yudi as he calls himself) a former Channel [V] veejay. Touted, I think, as the metrosexual man’s guide to gadgets, gizmos, fashion and all things hip, it elevates superficialness to an art form. The latest plasma […]

You go out shopping, you go out for any reason, and what do you see ? Gawkers, people with ostensibly no purpose standing on the roadside, gawking. And you see them everywhere. Amazingly on every Indian street-corner, so many people with nothing to do, with free time on their hands. So, I guess trouble-makers have […]
