'Pulled hard'

Gere kissed Shilpa.... HAYLA!

Star News does something (what the hell did it do?) that has some watch guards of our pure Indian society going to Star's office complex with hammers and beating the shit out of the cars in the parking lot. I love what these watch guards are doing... I wish they could also have performed a mujra on the ...

Creativity has also been the ground for clashes between the artist and the society or atleast certain sections of the society.
We in India see it happen almost every week. Protest against portions of movie. Violent campaigns against an Advertisement. Political "morchas" against books and paintings... to such an extent that this form of protest is seen as a useful "publicity" tool by political parties, atleast those in India.
But here comes an ad from Dolce and Gabbana that has provoked such wide spread protests that the company has withdrawn the following ad from the country of Spain...
The fashion design duo behind Dolce & Gabbana (oz note: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, hailed as ...

News flash, courtesy striker. Anna Nicole Smith has passed away.
If you remember, she was the former playmate who married a 90 year old billionaire... and then after his death had been involved in an ongoing court battle with the billionaire's son for the wealth he husband had left behind.
It had been a roller coaster ride for her since then. She put on weight, appeared on reality TV (The Anna Nicole Show), dropped weight drastically, got back her slim trim figure and was back hopping around at award shows and celebrity parties.
It's been just a few months since her son was found dead in a hotel room.
According to MSNBC
Anna Nicole Smith, the former Playboy playmate whose bizarre life careened ...

A tragic cloud of sadness rests in some corner of my heart... I just read this news a few minutes ago...
Multi-talented entertainer, writer, and author Sidney Sheldon has died at age 89 of complications from pneumonia.
To think that just this morning, as I woke up and was making tea, standing there waiting for the water to boil, suspended in that vacuum of zero-ness ... when a thought slid in "Sidney must perhaps be the most read fiction writer in India, from the US,... atleast he must have been during my college days, a decade and a half ago..."
Strange. And a few hours later, I sit here reading the news of his passing away. Though such things do happen ...

Home renovators looking to bring life to the smallest room in their home now have the chance -- with a toilet that doubles as an aquarium. The Fish 'n Flush is a clear two-piece toilet tank that replaces a standard toilet tank, with a see-through aquarium wrapping itself around a conventional toilet tank. (Yahoo via Handout/Reuters)
The report furthur quotes Devon Niccole, marketing director of California-based designer AquaOne Technologies Inc. which has just started to selling the tank "We wanted to develop a product that had a dual purpose - to serve as a proper, fully functional toilet and also as a source of entertainment and conversation,"
So is this all... ahem SAFE?
Apparently yes... According ...

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.

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 ...

There are some news that I absolutely fall in love with. And specially in America where the mind bounces on either side the thin line dividing the highly imaginative and the absolute craziness.
About a year ago, in Tempe, Arizona, a new kind of a fast food joint was opened. It's called...
The Heart Attack Grill
The slogan? "Taste... worth dying for"
Yeah... you would hardly feel any damn taste in your mouth while sitting below a large sign painted in red "The Heart Attack Grill"
So why is it called the Heart attack grill?
Dear Reader... let the menu of the place do the talking and convey to you the exact reason for calling it by that name...
Menu
