Powar out of Power
After the ODI World Cup finals awards ceremony, the Aussies shoved Sharad Powar out of the podium. What would you term this ignominy?
‘Powar Play’ed

If Mice Were Aunts
What will you call your aunt if she is a mouse?
Mousie?
PS. Knowledge - How to Tell if a Mouse Is Male or Female?
PPS. More Knowledge - Shabnam Mousi
Shabnam Mousi is a campy, action-packed Bollywood film about a kickass Indian hijra who, after being falsely accused of her adoptive mother's murder, goes on the run. Saving young girls and battling slimy villains, she uses song, dance, martial arts and a sly wit to fight her way to the top...of Parliament! Did we mention this is an actual person? Shabnam Mousi, now well-known in her country, was the first hijra to run for political office in India. Here, her life and fight for self-determination are given a full Bollywood makeover, complete with hilarious fight scenes, singing assassins and melodramatic village dance numbers. While the story does stall occasionally, the film's madcap delivery and Shabnam Mousi's fierce rise to power will leave you cheering in the aisles.PPPS. Kickass Indian Hijras. My foot! No, their feet. Suffering at their hands is suffering enough. Why their feet? Nah baba nah!

Save Paper - Save World
This simple advertising stunt is extremely effective in passing across the message as to how the rain forests of Amazon are being depleted by our thoughtless usage.
This is what Saatchi & Saatchi, Denmark had to say:
To make people realize that saving the planet starts with them saving paper, we took a standard paper dispenser and made a simple modification with green foil and the silhouette of South America. This allowed us to prove that the survival of the forest is directly connected to what people consume.

Chunari Ke Neeche Kya Hai?
Absolutely wrong it is, when Jayanth says I want to become a filmmaker. I do not want to, I've already begun working as one. What better way to begin than arriving at possible names for the movie. Inspired by Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, here are the possible names -
Gaaya Chunari Se Raag
Ghusa Chunari Mein Naag
Plot, cast details, item songs, songs with the heroine dancing drenched in a white saree, rape scenes, props for songs - balls, balloons, flags, bikes are all open for your imagination. All suggestions are most welcome.

Scared, Really Scared Electronics Engineers
Would XORcist be the most horrifying movie for an electronics engineer? Maybe. Maybe not. Aw, that's even horrifying. Not being able to answer with a Yes or a No. Ah, Or is another gate again! Horrifying, definitely not. For this electronics engineer who's crossed the GATE.

Hips don't lie
After we covered the assets of Celina Jaitley and Dia Mirza, we did the natural thing.
We wondered, why Rakhi Sawant rolled her 'arse'?
After much investigation, we find it's...
...because her American accent trainer told her to roll her 'R's.
Well, can't blame her for trying to improve! We wish her all the best.

Help thy enemy
We have always thought that competitors in market will do anything to kill each other off. I guess we in India will never be the true capitalists...
Here a couple of example that I came across:
1) www.airtel.com : Expect Airtel's website to open up...
2) Try booking a ticket online at IRCTC i.e. Indian Railways.
Looks like Spice Jet is the only one that takes Lalu to Patna :)

Of Mice and Men: The Stuarts-- Little and Broad
Stuart Little has been made into a Broadway play.
Logically, (and especially so in this blog), what happens next?
Stuart Broad in a Broadway of course. The crack of the willow hitting the leather for six consecutive sixes was the sweetest sound that around a billion Indians have heard in a long time.
Bakwas, I know. Just shaking off the rust.

Hip Hop And Music From Other Body Parts
For this, Bangaloreans should mind their Black Eyed Peas and Queues.

Bankers, the interesting types
What did they call the nymphomaniac banker?
They called her a f---'ING Veshya'.
Heh! like she cares. She is out there selling selling herself to the bidders. TCS, Wipro, Infy, Capgemini are all in the race. And she seems to have an eye for wealthy Indians too.
IT Is A Serious Matter
IT indeed is. When Gautam Gambhir's house is raided for tax evasion . For once run-out is good. Running out of such problems. While we're at IT, now will he have to pay through his nose after this - Himesh Comes Under The IT Scanner. I hope the scanner is safe and unsound. No one would want his sound.

Sreesanth and the taste of India
I am a fan of Amul, as are most of us here. They have this way of coming up with deliciously funny hoardings, they call topicals.
Acting how he does, Sreesanth was bound to get some screen time from them.
After praising his dancing skills (after the six against South Africa)...
...Amul now, tells him to stay calm!
Though many would agree with Amul, they would also accept that this report goes over the top(much like Sree himself), when it says this!
"If Andrew Symonds wasn't such a gentle fellow, India's Shanthakumaran Sreesanth's nose would probably be plastered all over his leering face.In other news, he is writing songs, acting in music videos and is being offered movies. "After that, if I have time I will practise bowling", he says. Ok, I made up the last line.
The Hindu and occasionally Christian bowler can thank all his gods that the secular Queenslander is a man of peace and tranquility."

Bapuji Zara Dheere Chalo.
