Tongue in cheek humour

It does not get better than this

Cheeky humour… apply personal discretion.

Hint: Pay attention to the captions… repeat them once or if need be twice, to get what it means.

Aur phir….

Kehte hai jab kisi afsaane ko anjaam na de sako, to usse ek haseen mod pe laa kar chod dena chahiye.

Ankhon se door door,
Dil ke paas paas
Har lamha judai ka gham
Har lamha milne ki aas

Casino Royale : Latest Bond flick

Friday, November 17th, 2006

Ohk so the new bond Daniel Craig does manage to look yummy !! :P

But what I was really disappointed in was the way this movie became oh-so-predictable for me. If you have seen hundreds of hindi movies and watched a few TV series, you can very easily guess the script of this bond flick. Some over the top action sequences, austin martins being driven, add to that few gorgeous gals, of which Eva green (Vesper) managed to look pretty only when she was sans makeup in the loo !! The first one, the italian chick, looked old. I just caught her on Tv giving some interview and she looked far more younger. Dunno what went wrong with the cinematography. Judi Dench was at her usual best.

Here are my few observations about the movie:

  1. Why is the villian always perfect in his moves, be it in his jumps, running, firing, watever. While our very own James bond goofs up somewhere or the other. Tch tch.
  2. Why is James bond such a womaniser? There is this dialogue in the movie where this female lead says “ You consider women as disposable pursuits than meaningful posessions“. But then I guess, since its in his fate to get ditched by his female counterparts, you cant really blame him. Can you? (BTW I guessed it before hand that the girl wasnt to be trusted!!)

Anyways, it kept me entertained, for the jokes I made of the horse riding scene used for the introduction of the Italian chick. So all in all, I would say its a piasa vasool movie.

Not a good habit

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I have come to realise that, I, more often than not, lose control over what I speak when I am angry. I use words and sentences that are bound to hurt people at the receiving end. And the worst part being that I am not ignorant about this fact and nobody needs to point that to me. I am very well aware of this fact. Infact I almost always realise it right after blabbering it out of my mouth.

Some people from my close vicinity bear it, while some dont. And I dont know how long will the ones who bear it will stand it in near future. I dont intend to hurt, But I do end up hurting. I dont intend to insult but I do real well in doing so. I dont wish to ruin it, but if the state of affairs remain the same way, its bound to happen.

Is being consciously aware of your mistakes enough? And if you are aware of it, does that amount to doing it intentionally? What if you got no control over it as of now?

But, I think, I better make ammends soon enough, before its too late….

Mallika I hate you- Tring Tring version

This is the most fundoo song I have ever heard. I remember hearing it for the first time in a friend’s car and I enjoyed it so much that it was repeated atleast 5-6 times during that drive. I ended up taking his CD back home with me for this very song :D

Thank god for letting me get my hands on it, or else I would have missed this amazing song.

Conflict of values

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

*As a matter of principle, I avoid blogging about my workplace or my boss or colleagues. This post is in no way directed towards them. After having read my so-called statutory warning, you may continue reading.

There is a thought that has been bothering me for a while now and I dont know how important or relevant it is for survival in todays world.

What happens when you realise that your personal values are in conflict with the organisational values? Doesnt it then become difficult for you to continue working in such an environment? Or is it that it needs to be taken like a pinch of salt and be ignored as if its none of your business. Does it happen that ways, that you work, you get paid. Period? No one’s hired you to do moral policing for them so you shut your values crap?

John Denver’s Annie’s song

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

I think this is one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard. A soothing number which almost always relaxes me and manages to bring a smile on my face.

I think its a must have for a romantic evening with your loved ones. Its bound to help you in woo-ing your loved one with ishtyle.
Wine, dine, and this song… deadly combination… matlab… katal-e-aam :)

A confused soul

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

When I thought love was important, I was told its money. Now when I think money is important, I am told its something else. I am sure by the time I will believe its “the other” thing thats important, they will change their view point.

Whats the point in confusing a confused soul? :-P

Bored beyond belief

Agle janam mohe bitiya na kijo

Friday, November 10th, 2006

This is the only song that I have liked from the latest Umrao Jaan starring Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. After hearing the reviews of the movie, I dont intend to waste my money to watch it. But if at all I end up doing so, it will be only for this soul stirring song. Strong awadhi lyrics combined with Richa sharma’s powerful voice leave an impact and a feeling that lingers on long after its over. Read the lyrics of Agle janam mohe bitiya na kijo and you will know for yourself.

Jo ab kiye ho daata, aisa na kijo
agle janam mohe bitiya na kijo

Humre sajanwa humra dil aisa todin
O ghar basa-in humka rasta ma chodin
jaise ki lalla koi khilona jo pahwe
dui char din to khele phir bhool jaave
ro bhi na pahve aisi gudiya na kijo
agle janam mohe bitiya na kijo
agle janam mohe bitiya na kijo
jo ab kiye ho daata aisa na kijo
agle janam mohe bitiya na kijo
