On a Movie Binge; Meryl Streep, Heath Ledger, Vijay

Since binge drinking is verboten to us, we’re gonna engage in another (less harmful) form of excess, a movie binge. 

It’s Wednesday.

So we trooped over to RedBox for our free fix of Hollywood movies. We picked up Meryl Streep’s Oscar nominated Doubt. Besides Meryl Streep, the movie got four other Oscars nominations (but failed to win any).

Meryl is one of the all-time great actresses, a colossus if you ask us, and always a pleasure to watch.

Yesterday at our local library, we picked up the late Heath Ledger’s Casanova. Continue reading »

Crush the LTTE; Sri Lankan Army’s Finest Hour

Never in the battle against the deadly scourge of terrorism have so many owed so much to so few (thank you, Churchill).

Today, thanks to the brave and valiant soldiers of the Sri Lankan Army, LTTE, one of the most cruel terrorist organization the world has ever seen, is facing annihilation.

Although the LTTE’s certain defeat has been late in coming, it still comes as welcome tidings.

India has seen at close quarters the folly of  providing succor to these LTTE monsters.

On a dark night some 18 years ago (May 21, 1991), the LTTE terrorists aided by their quislings in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu killed Indian leader Rajiv Gandhi at an election campaign meeting in Sriperumbudur, 30 miles from Chennai.

Emboldened by contributions from the Tamil diaspora (in Tamil Nadu, Europe and Canada) and drunk on the crime of Rajiv’s assassination, the LTTE followed one vicious and murderous attack upon another until the determination of the current Sri Lankan government and the island nation’s army took hold  – to come what may end this evil mob and excise the cancer that was eating away at the country.

Ayan at U.K. Box Office – Ayyo, Embarrassing

These are hard times for Sori Padam Surya.

Close on the heels of a ho hum reception for Surya’s Vaaranam Aayiram comes a poor response to his latest crap show Ayan.

Ayan, a most crappy movie, grossed a pathetic £37,771 in its opening weekend at the UK box office.

On an average gross basis, Ayan did worse than even Vishal’s piece of junk a.k.a. Sathyam. And that is so disgraceful Continue reading »

Great Dumb Lines – From the Scriptures, Of Course

 Religion  20 Responses »

Some of the dumbest lines in literature come from the scriptures, or the religious books.

Ask not which religion.

For it matters not, which religion. For they are all the same in their nonsense.

Let’s take a look at some of the most hilarious nonsensical lines from the various scriptures starting with Christianity:

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you. – Jesus Christ, Sermon on the Mount.

Was Christ serious or was he high when he told his followers that they were blessed when persecuted!

For sure, religious nonsense is not the monopoly of Christianity alone. Hinduism, the major religion of India, is replete with drivel. Here’s the most popular verse from the Bhagavat Gita: Continue reading »

Incredible India 21; Our Poor, Poor Netas

 Incredible India  2 Responses »

Here comes Incredible India – 21.

Nearly 40 years after Indira Gandhi took on Morarji Desai, Sanjiva Reddy, Nijalingappa, Kamaraj and other members of the Congress old guard with Garibi Hatao, the Congress (R) slogan in the 1971 elections, India’s politicians have managed to accomplish that herculean feat, albeit only for themselves.

So what if India is still a poor country. At least, India’s netas (political leaders) are no longer poor.

Here’s a look at the assets of some of our prominent Indian leaders:

* Orissa may be a poor, backward state. But Orissa’s leaders are anything but poor. Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s assets comes to about Rs 7.98 crore.

*  Nationalist Congress Party leader Supriya Sule (Sharad Pawar’s daughter) has declared assets of Rs 52.73 crore (includes assets of both Supriya and her husband). God, how can people make a living on such meagre assets.

* Our heart goes out to Congress president Sonia Gandhi. The poor Italian-Indian bahu has neither a car nor a house.  Continue reading »
