My dog…Gopal

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005
I always wanted a pet, a dog in particular when I was a kid. Nope, would always be the reply from my parents. But the interest to get a dog rose again, when taking the early morning jogs, I would see people with their lovely dogs jogging by the coastline of Socal (Southern California). Damn I need a dog. Being single, living in an extra large house with a backyard the size of four basketball courts, I thought it was the right time to get a dog. Plus EG – my best American friend, acted as the devil (as he always does), to put me on to the path of finding a dog. The research online took ...

Lunchtime, rains, dosas and Hritik

Friday, February 11th, 2005
It’s raining again in Southern California (SoCal). Lunch time. “Wanna go out for Thai?” asks my boss over the phone. I look out, its raining…once upon a time I would call it the perfect weather for romance, clean white sheets over you, hot coffee by your bedside and passionately holding your love in your arms. Bite me – she would say....pulling myself back to the present, “I have some stuff to finish, you guys go ahead” I reply, and put the phone down. It’s raining, it’s raining cats and dogs, and that’s how people objectify the rains here. For any Bombayite, it’s a pathetic shadow over what they have experienced in our dear old Bombay rains. I’m hungry. I take ...

Faking an Orgasm- tips for tormented Adults Only

Thursday, February 10th, 2005
What? What the fuck? Are you nuts? How dumb would a woman be to not know that? These and other questions are bombarded on the table by friends when I talk about this subject. But when I slowly reveal the details of my story, there is an eerie silence all around…the patialia pegs are gulped down in fraction of a second and requests for another peg keep coming from all around the table. Then the nodding starts, slowly turning into smiles and then the occasional jokingly said “you lucky bastard…” are thrown around. Well, why did I do that? Fake an orgasm. And being a guy – doesn’t that mean losing face in society? Nope. If women have been doing it ...

Gems: Movies that will never age..Concluding Part

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005
6. Buddha Mil Gaya (1971); Director: Hrishikesh Mukherjee What’s missing in suspense thrillers of today? Come to think of it, there is hardly any suspense thriller made now. The few that were made in the last few years, have the movies concentrating hard on misleading the audience on who actually is the real killer, shock the audience with a sudden attack from behind on the hero or heroine, loud music, loud creaking doors…Again the story and art of telling the story to us - these factors have been completely ignored in these movies like all others. Buddha Mil Gaya shows the wide range of skillful story telling by our dear old Hrishida. How can someone who gave us ...

Gems: Movies that will never age

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005
Gems…movies which will never age. Movies which have and will often be copied but their freshness will never die and the copied/inspired ones will never make a dent on the original. Gems…movies which were enjoyed by our parents and elders in the family, then by us and in all possibility will be enjoyed by the future generations. Timeless, ageless movies. They may or may not be classics, but they will never miss striking the right chords of our hearts, each time…every time. 1. Anand (1970); Director: Hrishikesh Mukherjee “Babu moshai” – who can forget that loving call of Rajesh Khanna to strangers and specially to Dr. Bhasker Banerjee – a young Amitabh Bachchan. Directed by one of the ...

Rog: Cure for Insomnia

Tuesday, February 1st, 2005
Question 1: Is Mahesh Bhatt a genius or someone who had one or two great ideas which resulted in Naam, Arth, Saaransh, Janam? And then his brains froze and it can only make scandalous, shocking statements or milk money based on his above few movies.? Question 2: Does the Bhatt family really think we are fucking idiots that we would fall hook line and sinker for this movie just cause of Ilene Hamann?(she's beautiful no doubt about that) Question 3: What the hell is the talented Irrfan doing here?   ? Questions, questions, and ofcourse the snoring of my roommate who couldn't take more than 30 minutes of this pathetic movie. The story: A woman is murdered. people ...
