Good Mornings 02122011

Day in and out the neo Indian intelligentsia have been tweeting and retweeting about ‘much needed economic reforms in India’. ‘The parliamentarians seem to be stabbing the growing India by not debating’. I find it strange that the government passes a crucial, face changing bill and then brings it to the floor. The whole process of democracy looks quite irrelevant here.

The new generation Indians too suffer from a strange case of memory loss. The nuclear bill that had been passed hastily without much discussion and lots of noise catapulted the PM to an exalted position winning him the next election. But I hear no news of it. There have been no plants as promised. But retailing is going to be different and we are going to see lots of changes in Indian landscape but hope there is a debate prior to it.

Sardesai and Tharoor have been quite busy on twitter and so is the financial analysts. But except for some vague expression of job generation, only thing assured is some low cost consumerism. I engaged in a debate with a guy on twitter. He spoke passionately on opening up economy at ‘lower levels’, now whatever that means I asked him a couple of questions:

1. Shutting out competition- is it safe in the long run?

2. How is the small landholders going to benefit

3. Speaking about job generation- why cant these honchos generate jobs in USA and UK?

What followed was a single sentence- we are going to get goods at a low cost. So that’s what is all about-plain greed and ugly consumerism.

I am on leave today and am going for ‘Dirty Picture’ :D a sensible thing to do in these times

Good morning 01082011

Hey everyone, I missed a few good mornings! One of the reason being my internet balance ran out. Well, you know yours truly have been doing a few downloads and you can take a guess!!!

For the past few days BJP is busy saving its face and Yeddy his ass. I have learnt to sympathize with Indian polity. A government who is busy corrupting themselves and the system. Just when we think there are going to be fireworks with the ammunition gathered by poor journalists against the government, the opposition will shoot itself in the foot. Thankfully we are a race with never ending patience. Just as Dravid goes on batting, we are ready to wait for centuries for some change.

And no matter how mammoth and modern the technology becomes, there are simple techniques to avoid detecting the edges. Apply Vaseline over the bat. Thank you Vaughan for spreading the secret.

Talking about technology, we are seeing huge changes in China. This time it’s not another invention. An anchor spoke publicly over the TV, ‘Grow slow China or else you will leave the souls of people behind’. I hope an impending revolution wouldn’t see a western stooge in it’s place. China being a huge country the unrest can cause turbulence down here too.

Last of all guys, Months ago I watched a movie attracted by its name- Bedazzled.

I have never seen a worse movie with Fraser in his typical self of overacting and Hurley doing her underacting. She was the Satan in the movie- but this time Satan was too sexy and skimply clad to ignore and Satan was busy trying to teach Fraser all about Love.

Sounds weird, right! Well I read a weirder review yesterday eulogizing the philosophy of the crap.

S***** Exhibition

Now for some masala news.

Two guys were arrested yesterday- both for nude exhibition. And that too in India!

One guy decided to showcase his wares to a school kid and the other in front of a ladies’ hostel.

The Indian men are growing less and less confident on their sexuality. The most advertised products today are the boosters, muscle builders and ofcourse the penis enlargers!

One reason could be the overuse of porn films as a material for sexual education. Sadly we fail to see the making behind a porn movie. A one hour movie is shot in a span of days and they use steroid sprays to maintain erection for hours! Well the star with long enhancements wont be able to use his blessing except for in a movie.

Hope I spiced up your day.
