Current Affairs

I know it's been long since the last blog post. Just shut up and read.

Who's gonna be the next President? Big Deal!

    Nowadays on Facebook, lots of people are posting about how they would love to have A.P.J. Abdul Kalam as the next president of India. I saw posts which depict the awesomeness of Kalam through various punch lines, etc. At the same time, there were posts of how other president-nominees are not competent (if at all one needs to be) enough for the presidential post. In a particular post, Pranab Mukherjee was seen sleeping, I am guessing in the Lok Sabha. And apparently that makes him imbecile! What Bull! Everybody sleeps when everybody else -- barring their wife/GF -- gives a lecture! And I bet there's an AC in the Lok Sabha. :D

    But that's not the point. The point is: what the heck does the President do anyway? All of you must, at least should, know that in the Indian Constitution the President is a Nominal Head. Now, according to me, this means that the President doesn't have ratti bhar ki power to do anything. Indian presidents have been rubber-stamps since ages. Even if he refers some bill back to the Parliament for reconsideration, he is forced to accept it after it comes back "reconsidered". Maybe in case of an emergency somewhere, he has to do what Manmohan Singh does now. But that's the limit of what an Indian President ought to do.

    So, basically, it is just a matter of making public appearances. And I don't think Kalam looks any better than Pranab or anybody else. Actually, if you ask me, we should appoint someone like her as our president. At least then, we can have a gala time whenever the president goes public for giving the Independence Day speech, or for hugging malnutritioned children, or through whatever stunt she might choose to please the Indian people, if you know what I mean. ;)

    As far as I am concerned, I don't give a shit. And I think you shouldn't too. Stop liking and sharing all those non-sensical, and sometimes highly politically biased, posts. Seriously.




Hunger Games - the book: a big joke!

    I read the first book of this trilogy a month back. It hardly took a few days. And I almost agree with Wikipedia when it says: it is a young adult novel. More young. Less adult. Good mature concept. But very ordinary language -- I had to look up the dictionary only thrice during the entire book! The plot is far from gripping. You wait and wait and wait. And wait. Till the end. You think it's coming. So you wait. But all you get is a very Bollywood-ish ending. You are like, "Don't tell me this is going to happen!" And exactly that happens, forcing you into a facepalm situation. Did I say the book is predictable?

    Go see the movie if you wish. At least it will have some sound and video effects to aid the literally girl-ish plot (No, I didn't mean figuratively). I don't know how many "scenes" are shown in the movie as they are described in the book. But then, it's a PG-13 movie. So don't expect much... violence, I mean! It's not gory -- that's what I want to say, you nasty minds! (By the way, if you search "Hunger" on DC++, you might be surprised. Courtesy: Sagar)

    Whenever you don't have enough masala to write about something, Google comes to the rescue. This pic perfectly describes my emotions:




500 days of Summer

    A great movie, very instructive. A must watch for someone who thinks that his girl is not a bitch, that she is the one for all times to cum (Oops... stupid autocorrect!).

    Zooey Deschanel is, without a doubt, hot. You fall in love with her, just like Tom. But then she breaks your heart. Tom always wants to know what exactly is their relationship. "Casual" is the word, she says. And just as casually, she leaves you and Tom in the deepest despair. His faith in true love is shattered. Forever. If you are Forever Alone but still want to taste break-up, or if you are vouching for a girl and don't want to get friend-zoned, this movie is for you. :)

    This particular dialog, by Summer, in the pic below describes the movie completely. Except for this part: Tom doesn't give up even after being thrown like the peel of a used banana. He gets Autumn. Pretty intelligent, huh?!





"Females" on FB

    This topic is dedicated to all my stalker friends. Cheers!
    Most of you must have come across girls' profiles which have a un-clickable DP of the girl, and some cover photo that has a teddy bear or at best, her pic with her friend-zoned friends. The most frustrating thing about such profiles is that the Info section says only one thing: Female.


    Dear Female girl, we can figure out from your DP that you are female!! Tell us more about yourself, baby! And then, there are cases when they have the very very annoying Info which reads: "Works at Jobless." I mean, seriously! Am I supposed to laugh?

    Some girls cross the limit of frustrating innocent stalkers. They have some cute childhood pic as their DP. Come on baby, even we looked cute and beautiful when we were children!

    Some girls raise our hopes only to smash them in a draconian way. They have some N cover photos, and we are like, "Nice. Let's see what we have here." But all you munch on are photos of teddy bears and/or infants and/or similar supposedly cute shit. Dafuq! Here's an example:






IPL of India

    It was fun while it lasted. Period.
