My Pug Marks

Sehwag ko MAYUR pehnao Sachin ko PEPSI pilao Dhoni ko BRYLCREAM lagwao Ganguly ko CHAVANPRASH khilao Dravid mein CASTROL baharwao Yuvraj ko malai marke LASSI pilao... Lekin "KUTTO" ko cricket mat khilwao... The post world cup disaster, doing rounds on orkut..nice :P And I wonder, how dumb of the Advertisers, but they can't help it, can they???? Take this scenario: Dhoni gets to the pitch. Our last hope, if we got to qualify for the next round. And he gets out. And suddenly, the new 7-UP ad pops up on screen, saying how dhoni became dhoni...nice. People will definitely go n drink 7-UP...

Nandigram burns again. And this time around, it is even severe. The news says that policeman had to "resort" to firing at protesting farmers. Well, even if they had to "resort" to firing, did they really have no other option??? I am not getting into the controversy that surrounds Nandigram.

I really don't know how "colors" got involved with the celebrations, but an intelligent guess would be that next day, people ran amok throwing colors at each other... Holi's prominence in the contours of Indian society can be judged by the immense patronage that it receives from the Bollywood, being o...
