Congrads CHUCK !!!

!!!!



Arun

But I certainly don't understand,people's obsession with this F word :eh:
What good does swearing in its name do?
Does it make things any simpler for you?

Smiling tears, I agree with thee
F word is cheesy and used many a time inappropriately,
Come on, Had You scored my Score in CAT,
You would ve used the F word straight from thy heart

F word comes for free
For the soul that is frustrated, bruised and pissed
And that seeketh the right word to let go at right time


And a groan is what the man recieves for his melancholy
Shakespeare never knew the word, Alas had he..,
The literature would have been full of Fs
And I all I get is a groan

Hope Hopen

So What If I lost the war
I aint a warrior, Just an actor
My Stage for the next Act is all set,
To Move on is the best bet..




And..
Will be back preparing VA, QA and DI
Crack the bloody exam before I die

Post CATastrophe

Lost the battle, lost the war
what the F is this life for?
To Build again my fame & name
I aint F'in game

My grouse is against people who've used these glitches to create the political space for themselves; and against media who are always aplogetic on these issues. It's become a tool for such people to potray India as a regressive society. .............of "But BEFORE we Indians need to clean our own mess". Are we to just always be on the defensive?

True. D'accord. But Plumber, I aint being defensive here. My worry & issue here was the way our news channels work. The way they blow something 'relatively trivial' out of proportion( yeah when we compare it with the ghosts we are facing within. Period. ) and bloody hell these reality shows are perfectly orchestrated. I wouldnt be shocked if someone told me, this entire thingy was all fixed and went according to a script. And what a killer speech Shilpa gave after her victory " I am proud of my colour. Am proud of my origin...". Nonsense. "I made India proud." Crap. She is a millionaire now. And that is precisely why she went there. A b grade actress in search of name and fame. Good for her.

And I think a show such as ' Big brother' can never make Indians proud. Come on, Indian representation in Big Brother which is essentially 'cheesy voyeurism' wont do any good to the nations cause. I always feel If India are to prove their worth.., They better do it in academics, arts or sports. Even Oscars, for that matter, they aint a yardstick to measure goodness of Indian Cinema. There are many brilliant movies that miss out on oscar. At the end of the day, Oscar is all about the marketing and the money the producer has.. and how he could market it to the jury members.

An Indian winning an olyimpic medal, or inventing a vaccine or say when Pandit Ravi shankar performs at the UN. well that is something more heartening. Dont you think so Plumber!!! ( and hope I dont sound dramatic here)

The news channels are behind the 3 Cs .. Celebrity, Crime and Cricket. Of course we do have some amazing journalists like Rajdeep who 've some idealism left in their eyes and words! Otherwise, its all market driven crap.

True, India is poised. India is shining. It has never been so good. Perfect. And I think this is the right time to address and work on few of our issues as well. When you look at our matrimonial ads 80% of 'em want a "Fair. Good looking girl who is intelligent." ( Oxymorons eh ;).. Kidding! ). We have racisim here as well. Now that we are on verge of becoming the Big guys. World leaders. We musnt behave like We are an inferior race and say "London fellas called us names etc etc". We are giving the weat too much credit here. And to be Big guys we have to fix our issues as well!!!


And remember Shilpa issue pushed Nithari killings from the headline. On the contarary, I thought Shilpa was on the defensive mate. She could have come out of the house when jade was delivering all her 'goodies'. And Chuck, I beg to differ with you here dude. :P

Chal anyways...
And Chuck like how you told us abt the Viv Richards event. I have one about Cyrus Broacha and yep it was related to racism!!!

The event was ICC awards ceremony held at mumbai, a few years back. All the teams, team boards, ex- cricketers were present at the ceremony.

Cyrus Broacha & Malaika Arora were the MCs..
And Cyrus in the finishing stages of the awards distribution announced
" Ladies and Gentlemen We have a new award this year. It is called the best Visionary award"

The audience went silent. They were never told about this new award afterall !!!

Cyrus continued
"And the award goes to Darren Lehman. Come on guys he has an amazing vision. He knew difference between Black and White. He called Murali a Black Bas****""

While there were few laughs around. One couldnt help but notice the look at Australian team members faces!!!

Boy I have typed something long here. Plumber, no issues. Am sorry when I asked if you had been to villages. Hope u understand what I have been trying to say.

Cheers mate!

dear mr.plumber..


well i aint a dalit activist. but have u ever gone past the Page 3 in the news papers u read?? or for that matter ever been to a village?


Trust me dude. I am not India bashing here. But do u have any idea of how much discrimination we have in our own society?!!! And u do not know that because the news channels never told u that.

And do u know India is the preferred destination for all conflict management students worldwide. We have so many communal and caste problems..


And chuck!! Shilpa wins 100,000 pounds in addition to the 3 crores.. is gonna act in a hollywood movie, host a cricket show, will get paid for all her tabloid interviews.. and yeah someone's gonna write a book on her.
She must be thanking Jade Goody now

and btw Plumber, Racism, please learn the definiton, kindly google and you'll learn that its not just about colour of the skin.

neways!

Hey Chuck, I think We Indians are the worst racists. To be honest, All these 24 hour News Channels need to look 'inward' and realise that we have as much dirt to clean up in our own backyard.. We have the worst forms of racism.We still have so many villages in India where the lower castes still cant consume the water from the same river the upper castes drink. Where the lower caste shouldnt look into the eyes of the upper caste.
Even in urban places, we dont treat our servants with respect and dignity, Do we ?!

Let us ask ourselves this question. Do we treat every human we meet everyday with the same levels of respect?

BTW the recent Neo Sports ads for the Ind Vs WI tourno ( Made by O&M;) are highly racistic in nature too.

Shilpa issue is mere sensationalism. TRPs! That is all the media cares for.
And Shilpa, shamelessly stays on. Any person with some pride would have abused Jade back and returned back home. Well She is behind money. That is all She cares for.


And Chuck I agree with the fact that, Shilpa is Hot.

hey is it a tagline or mission statement?

One mission statement I admire a lot is Coca Colas; it is To have 1% of market share of water!

My suggestion would be to have something like "To ensure every marriage happens in heaven"

think abt it.

Father idea is good :)
