There's a morcha outside my house. All the Adult Video Rental Stores want to ban me from visiting any Desi Video Store and Desi Theater for Bollywood Movies. Their main beef is that I have stopped visiting all of them to rent or buy porn videos ever since I discovered Desi stores/theaters in California. The result being the sales of all Orange County Adult Videos has crashed. The porn industry is shaking in its knees. I suspect they have secretly sponsored this oz Roko Aandolan.
But I will fight this morcha till my last breadth. It is my fundamental right to give more preference to the pimples - flattened - with - pancake face of Udita Goswami than to porn star ...

Clappity Clappity Slap. Nobody points fingers at Humpty. Make this mistake and your cheek goes in for a bake. Armed with a slap faster than lightening and a tongue sharper than Chappan Chooree, Mr. Humpty while driving his taxi sulks at every moving thing on Mother Earth. Life will be better in my Next birth.
Dumpty-jee on the other hand has his life slipping at bullet speed from crore-pati to sadak-pati. Courtesy dead Baap, who transfers all wealth to best friend Grumpy–jee. Reason. Son never gave Baap a puppee. Dead Baap. Dumpty cries what is my paap?
Dumpty-jee in his last chance to win back “jaeeedaad†hops into Humpty-jee’s cab. Humpty can’t stand Dumpty. Dumpty-jee can’t ...

There are a few things in life however hard you try, you just can’t let go of the nagging feeling that some secret hidden forces are in play, forces that make certain things in our lives appear or happen in the way they do. Not many may notice it, but those who do, end up becoming investigative journalists or bloggers.
And because of this nature to notice the unnoticed, have I noticed that there maybe secret-undercover powers who may have conspired with other dark hidden forces to see that ALL men living in the United States end up wearing a certain type of underwear.
Walk into a typical American clothing store. Target. Robinsons May. Macy’s. Nordstrom’s. Costco. Walmart. K-Mart. Whatever ...

Update: This is F-ing INSANE! Apparently Rakesh Menon read this post and emails me with this info: BMW is soon coming out with the "Auto Park" feature in some of their models in Europe. The Car does not only park by itself, BUT FUCKING HELPS YOU FIND A PARKING SPACE!!! Apparently its much more advanced than the Toyota Prius in Parallel parking, wherein the Prius you have to have your feet on the brakes but in BMW you don't touch a thing except your ass on the seat...Here's the video at New Launches... Unbelievable!!!
* Original Post *
This is so advanced, it's fucking sick!!! Toyota some time ago had introduced a computerized assist parking for drivers in Prius Hybrid ...

Sorry about India, Jessica. Sorry about the Indian law which can be kicked in the gutter by the forces - to which the Indian population is enslaved to. Sorry about you having to bartend for someone at an upscale party. And sorry that no one informed you that in India it is NOT OK to refuse serving alcohol after closing hours to any politician, or the politician's family - near or far. Sorry that you had a gun pointed at your face when you refused to serve alcohol to a person who ...

Sexy Svelte Sweet Hot...One look at her at the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Club and I feel head over heels in love with her. My eyes are still popping in and out @-) How could they be so cruel not to let her in the US, but have her landing in Europe and perhaps India and the rest of Asia.
Somebody pleaseeeeeeee tell me when is she coming to the U.S. and who is gonna be hooking up with (sigh!) her...

There have been increasing requests to start podcasting posts on Desi Train. For those who aren't aware what podcasting is (like me 7 days ago) - you will get a few DT posts in audio. So for example Chocolate - Mahesh Bhatt has a competitor will have you hearing me in full anger & frustration (as if the text wasn't enough)...yep me in all glory expressing frustration over the movie. Or me kicking Sanjay Gupta's ass over the revelation that Zinda is Old Boy.
Email requests have been especially heavy for podcasting the Movie Reviews. There have been talks about Desi Train on radio (web/air waves), but I'm unsure about making this a full time thingy. On the other ...

You are interviewing candidates. Resumes flow in and out. Guys stumble in your office and a few minutes later are sent flying out. And then you see a resume wherein the candidate's Bollywood movie achievements are mentioned as: Kachche Dhaage (1999), Chori Chori (2003) and Deewar (2004). What do you do?
Well...if you are Mr. Ramesh Sippy, you pour money into Luthria's new movie project $-) Now why would "anyone" do that? Kachche Dhaage at best was a barely bearable movie, that is if you could escape the indigestion caused by the truckloads of chane-chole you had trying to stick it through the end. One may argue the movie had a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slight uniqueness interms of the ...

Almost spilled my Darjeeling tea ~o) over myself when Rohit's post popped up on my screen . The beautiful Sheetal Sheth featured on Maxim and Rohit publishes her pictures :o. Luckily I survived the onslaught of the cutie's pictures. Damn she is beautiful. Though the pictures are tame according to Maxim's standards...hey its Sheetal Sheth!
Abhi from Sepia Mutiny had somehow managed to get a picture clicked of him and Sheetal together at a function. He carried that pic on his cellphone. Damn!!!!
Frankly I haven't been a fan of the movies she's done so far, but I'll admit I watched them cause she was in ...

The first email this morning was from my cousin informing me that our youngest cousin had met with an accident in India. I call up home right away and query about the incident, they assure me that he's fine with a few minor injuries. I'm relieved. I put the phone down and walk over to my boss's office for another round of marao-ing. [Hinglish: Royal Asskicking]
But ofcourse, if I was a certain hero from a movie called Family, I would have collected all my staff, friends and anyone I could get my hands on, on my way home from office. The team would consist of an egghead from [Identity of egghead's country censored], my ultra ...

Done re-engineering (quoting WB). No more of this designing stuff again. Only time DT changes its design from now on is when I'm bored or one of DT's readers offers me tons of cash (checks accepted too)...I'm beat...After 4 days of (ass) grinding I'm so done & beat. Back to blogging...

Actress Nadira is no more. Here was an actress with spunk which sadly none of the actresses today have. A personality which could flatten the towering of egos into jelly, Nadira had "the attitude" which others try to emulate but end up looking like cheap clones.
As Mahesh Bhatt remembers here...
When she was shooting for my film, she was very temperamental, and emotionally unpredictable. She had her highs and lows. She was very naughty, amusing and articulate. She lived her life on her own terms.
And close friend, Tom Alter points out her attitude towards life...
She was alone in life but never lonely. I wish her the peace in death that she always sought in life
Rediff pays tribute ...

U call yourself a movie/TV fanatic? Take this test:
1. Can you kick your wife out of your apartment?
2. Can you turn your apartment upside down...and rebuild it again?
3. Can you max out all your credit cards in rebuilding your apartment? (That is if you have any credit cards and further if they have any any value)
4. Can you emulate your entire apartment on the lines of the Star Trek Enterprise space ship?
5. Can you declare bankruptcy after remodelling your apartment?
Nah? Aparently Tony Alleyne has all the qualities of a movie fanatic. Saw his story at Uber-Review. After bankruptcy, Tony tried selling his apartment on EBay. No luck. ...
