Shilpa Shetty is on Big Brother - the show which has participants from the entertainment industry living in a house under camera.
Frankly I'm hooked. Though I wish it could be made a little tighter... but then it's a reality show and people do get boring after some time living under the same roof, talking the same stuff...
Well news is that Shilpa-jee has been offered Rupees 3 crores (about 700k US) to enter the deadly doors of Big Brother's house... here's the link at DNA India
But Shilpa-didi can't utter a word since she's barred from talking to the press about her stint...
Shilpa joins "Big Brother" from Jan 1 and spends the next 25 days on the show. The actress ...

The mental make up... the camera of the mind views the road ahead ... it's dark, dusty and filled with full of holes... shit holes... The shitty movie "Mela" running on TV isn't helping it either... One does wish the camera of the mind could be turned else.
It doesn't. It can't. Life is the camera man over which you have no control. That asshole is gonna take it where ever he or she wants to. The title song of Mela just ended... with another song... was this movie made while the crew was smoking gaanja?
You are never there. Never will be. It's an illusion. I am this. I am that. I am happy. All gone. Snap of a finger. You ...

Just got a glimpse of the preview on Indiafm.com...
A train pulls into C.S.T. station and two young men step off. It’s their very first visit to Mumbai city. Only they are not here to visit. They have arrived with dreams of buying Mumbai out.
Poor deluded fools, you might think… but that’s only till the first time you run into them. After that, it’ll be clear enough who’s deluded and who has just been made the fool.
For this is a pair of street toughs par excellence… Jai, the younger of the two looks up to Veeru for guidance. Veeru in turn looks out for him. The pair’s loyalty to one another is absolute.
Virendra Chavan (Ajay Devgan) and Jai Ranade ...

Heard about it this morning. Then got a few emails on it. Then read it a few op-ed pieces on it. Finally landed on the Time's site to see the interesting article and the reason's behind it....
Click here to read the Time's article.
P.S.: I know I've been stealing away your entertainment time by not writing for the last two days... trust me... the time spent away from here has only been to get double the excitement, double the passion... double the movement... check out the new heavyweights on PFC... :) no no you don't need to thank me... just write "Thanks" behind the check you donate for oz... (that is if you "do" donate to have me retire from ...

These days I'm finding myself seeing movies with t! and Sumeet who without a warning drop in my house every weekend... somehow I've got Sumeet involved in the art and science of pickup and now I atleast get a breather atleast one day on the weekend.
t! is quite easy to be kicked out... I fake a meeting or an appointment or take the keys of my car and drive away...
Nah... just kidding... it's a welcome change to the alone time I spare for myself... With their coming in, I no longer go out on weekdays partying hard with friends or picking up the hottest chick in the bar or the club... I guess it's a phase of soberness ...

Thanks to VC and Muzzy for the tip... Jessica Lal's murderers have been convicted...
Good thing Ram Jethmalani's drama didn't work... Thank God for that! (It would be really great if one could have clicked Jethmalani after the judge gave his verdict)
Hindustan Times reports....
The Delhi High Court on Monday held Manu Sharma guilty of murdering Jessica Lall seven years ago at a party when she refused to serve him a drink.
Sharma along with eight other accused was acquitted by a trial court in February 2006.
The divisional bench of Justice RS Sodhi and Justice PK Bhasin also convicted co-accused Vikas Yadav and Amandeep Singh Gill of conspiracy and destruction of evidence. The other six accused were acquitted for want of evidence. ...

Bad day. Bad Friday. I wanna grab a hunter and lash the scum... it's been a roller coaster of a morning. Today is the Christmas bonus day... where bonuses will be given out to everyone at work here. It's supposed to be a happy day. 10 days before Christmas...
Rudy is the assistant network engineer. Good guy. Lazy guy. Have had problems with him a few times. But it has all be good. 4 years. For 4 years we've shared jokes, lunches, those mad mad email forwards, stuff...
Rudy is a good guy. Layed off this morning by my VP. 4 hours before the bonus checks are to be handed out. 10 days before Christmas.
The scum of humanity leaves me ...

Some of you have commented and some have emailed me about a recent post on "WANTING" a change... the principles followed there are from The Sedona Method that I've been practicing for close to two years now... on and off... not yet consistent enough... search for SEDONA in the search box, which will give you quite a few posts I've written on the method and my experiences with it.
I think this week's about self-introspection (yawn...)... but it's good... one of the things to realize is that what you can truly achieve or in other words what you can truly receive from the universe or destiny (or what ever you want to call it)... but haven't is because of your ...

Well the next time you email your resumé to a prospective employer, you may as well have to attach a sheet, that has your horoscope chart on it... well atleast that's what is rumored to be the case in case of Balaji Productions, run by Jeetendra's daughter, Ekta Kapoor, who is one of the smartest successful business women in the Bombay's Television production industry... Received this article by email from a Desi Train reader a while ago... not sure about the source...
Mumbai's biggest soap factory, Balaji Telefilms, hires artistes not on the basis of their talent or resume but on the basis of whether their kundali (horoscope) matches that of Balaji and its head honcho, Ekta Kapoor.
For the last ...

That hot ginger, black pepper tea sure does do something to your system. I have this habit of making one as soon as I'm back home from work. So yesterday I'm sipping this delicious tea... all hand made mind you... no cut open 2 minute microwave thingy here...
So yeah I'm having this delicious tea sitting on my lazyboy... which by the way reminds me that I've received a few emails inquiring what a lazyboy looks like... so here it is...
That's my recliner - all folded up. The back can tilt at almost 180 degrees and the foot rest can be brought up to be almost parallel to the floor... This is my chair... Dekho magar pyaar se...

3 in a row. I'm puzzled. For the last three consecutive nights, I wake up right at 2:50 AM. Not 2:49, Not 2:51. First night my eyes popped open... the clock in front of me showed 2:50. Went back to sleep.
Second night. Same thing. 2:50 AM. I sleeply thought "Wow!". Went back to sleep. Thought about it the next morning. Two nights in a row.
This morning. 2:50 AM. Eyes open right on the dot with the sign 2:50 on the clock in front of my eyes.
This is really weird. Kept thinking. What could it be? Is this a sign or something? What is it? An indication of an incident or an event that will happen?
Couldn't find the meaning.
Then ...

A talk about pickup. Attracting, Seducing and Dating rather than sitting on your "hump" sofa watching TV, porn, gulping your alcohol and going to bed... It's been a long time since I approached this topic and if you have been following it, but nothing has changed... My Bad... if I can find some kind of a technology that can land a fist on your face right from this page you are reading... I'll be the first one to adopt this mind blowing technology...
Well, things haven't been as active in the Pickup area. I haven't been going out sarging (approaching women) or closing the deals. DT and PFC are taking a lot of my time these days and the few times ...

One small step by the Indian Justice system is one giant breath of fresh air for the Indian Population.
Enter the 21st century. The politicians and those in power (who of course are not politicians) see the rise of a new entity. One they had never known existed ever. The Indian Courts. Having rotted the rotten system with their unbridled lust for corruption and power play... an itsy bitsy tiny flicker (not to be confused with flickr.com) of hope has taken birth in the fall of 2006 in Mera Bharat Mahaan
Although it may seem to be simple on the surface... there may have been much a political arm twisting/string pulling/dick dangling behind those teak wood closed doors on the farm houses ...
