Proof that I'm a genious (sic)

I knew the first headline when India failed would be "Ooh! Aah! Ouch!"

On a related note: there goes the World Cup. Enough preparation, enough of the camps, enough of "flexible" batting orders. When it comes to the game, we (Team India) still haven't found answers to the same old questions that have risen once again. It's been a constant struggle to get both the Batters and Bowlers to play well and, more importantly, play well together. And the worst part is our own pitches caught us off guard!

t3h prof0und~

Why is that even when I move in triangular pattern (in my own axis) my head still spins in circles?

SET Max sux0rz

Stupid SET Max with its stupid SET Max coverage of the ICC Champions Trophy! Not only do I have to watch the dumbest pre-show in history, I have to do so with a running nose and sore throat. Mandira Bedi is slutty as ever, the other TV doofus is irritating as hell and Charu Sharma was always a waste of picture tube space. Navjot Singh Siddhu's charm has run out, and whatever dark force convinced Ian Chappell (one of my favourites) that this was a good idea must have been the left hand of God!

To top it all off, we have the dumbass Tarot Card reader lady -- Mandira pulls out 5 cards with to predict the result. What does the future hold??? *Cue suspense music*

Tarot Lady: Virender Sehwag will do very well!
Mandira: Woohoo!
Tarot Lady: Oh wait! Tendulkar will do better!
Mandira: Woooohooo!!
Tarot Lady: But England will be faster...much faster. I think England has a slight edge.
Other Guy: Goooo India!!


Wrong, idiot. Well, yeah Tendulkar did do better, technically. I hope the whole set (pardon the pun) catches fire and dies.

Cheeseballs

Have this sudden hankering for cheeseballs. Don't know why. Not that I'm a huge fan, but I could bite into a whole "big bag" right now. You know, the kind that collapse in your mouth like bubbles but stick to your molars for days. The kind you try picking with toothpicks and won't come off. Speaking of cheeseballs, anyone know why the packs are filled with air? Who the flying fluff is going to get hoodwinked into believing the pack is filled to seal with balls?

*~^~*Diwali*~^~*

5-day holiday, baby! Not to mention new clothes, sweets, and of course...firecrackers! Don't care what people say, I still enjoy waking up at 3, 4 in the morning (most of the time) and announce the same with the first saravedi.
But one thing I don't look forward to is pseudo activism during this season: if it's not child labour in fireworks factories, it's pollution of some kind. Sometimes it's noise, otherwise it's general air pollution. Of course then there's "oh no! what about the dogs?!"
I like kids, and the environment and dogs in general, I really do. But what I hate is these doofuses who pretend the actually care for these things -- albeit fleetingly -- especially during this season. Well, if you're so damn passionate about child labour and related causes then why don't go to your nearest tea shop and rescue said "suffering children"? All one's gotta do here is pick up the f*ckin' phone and dial 1098 (thats ten-nine-eight).
If you care so much about the air getting polluted, stop driving your car!
Same goes for your concern for dogs.

I've been celebrating Diwali this way since...ever. And I don't intend on stopping because you care all of a sudden.

Work on a Sunday

What kind of a person asks another to work on a Sunday? Why is it that it's always someone asking you to work on a Sunday and not vice versa? Oh yeah, I'm not a "boss".
It's not longer a weekend, its a week-rollover. And your whole day is f*cked because you wake up thinking "oh f*ck I gotta work today, a Sunday!" and once you're done working you end up thinking "holy s*it! did I just waste a whole damn Sunday?!"
Now a Sunday is a post-hangover, sit at home, watch a movie, sleep more kind of a day to begin with. To expect one to work, and get the work done as well is outrageous. I propose we find the Sunday work-givers and use tweezers to pluck their pubic hair.

Peter Sellers...

...is t3h mayne. The man absolutely owns everything. In case some of you wonder where Kamal Hassan gets his comic inspiration from, look no further than the late, great Peter Sellers. I just some more "Pink Panther" on DVD, and the guy reminded me why I was on the floor clutching my guts from the pain caused by the preceding laughter most of the time when I watched these movies as a kid. The accent, Cato, the "beumbs and phewns"...everything. Not that one should go only by the Panther series -- "Dr. Strangelove..." is just as brilliant. It was initially bizzare thinking Kubrick and Sellers actually worked together, but in the end it made sense. They're mad!

And if you're a Sellers fan, watch "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers". Geoffrey Rush does an impeccable job.

Rang De Basanti

In case you didn't know, read this.

On a much more humorous note, RDB is also (apparently) the 48th most funny film ever -- or at least the IMDB people think so.
