Incredible India 6 – Great Indian Navels

This instalment of Incredible India focuses on the Indian idee fixe with navels of our women.

For purely titillating reasons, Indian movie-makers and moviegoers have been fixated on the navels of our girls for several decades.

When you can’t show the mountains above or the valley below in their god-created pristine form, what else is left but the navel in between.

In countless Bollywood and Kollywood movies, directors have flaunted the navels of our Incredible Indian belles to the lecherous whistles and lascivious sighs of front-benchers and back-benchers, the young and the old, in village tents and city multiplexes.

Much to our immense jealousy, many a hero has buried his face into those delectable crevices of many a heroine or item girl.

Now, some Mahatma, who has more time to waste than even us, has stitched all those Great Indian Navels together and put them up on YouTube.

Having watched the above video, now tell us who you think has the Best Indian Navel?

After universal condemnation and ridicule, the Vikram Pandit-headed Citigroup cancelled the order for its new $50 million corporate jet.

Hooray!


Sorry, Vikram. Not for You

Asked about the luxury jet, President Barack Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs said the President “doesn’t believe that is the best use of money at this point.” 

Besides President Obama, the U.S. Treasury Department was also not Continue reading »

We love it. Just love it.

Oh, we mean the awards for the non-Bollywood masterpiece from India – Slumdog Millionaire.

This time, the fine movie picked up the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a Motion Picture (akin to a Best Picture award).

Anil Kapoor, who plays the quiz-show host in the movie, picked up the trophy on behalf of all the awardees and did the right thing by dedicating it to the child actors in this solid entertainer.

Just keep the awards coming.

On to the Oscars now.

Yahoooo!

* Ram’s Monkeys Run Amok in Mangalore Pub.

A bunch of thugs belonging to the Shri Ram Sena attacked some girls in the coastal city of Mangalore in the South Indian state of Karnataka. Why? Because the girls were having a good time at a pub.

Who says the Taliban is confined only to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Got a Pretty Face, Here’s a Padma Shri

Back in the ol’ days, they used to give Padma Shri and Tamrapatra awards for real achievements.

Now, the Government of India has started bestowing awards merely for the accident of being born with the right sequence of DNA or right genes, which we presume ultimately decide how you look.

How else can you explain giving Aishwarya Rai Bachchan – one of the worst actresses on Planet Earth – the Padma Shri under the category of Art.

What a disgrace.

At this rate, the Government of India will soon be handing out Padma Shris to the Mumbai terrorists for population control.

Mera Bharat Mahan.

We are So Lucky to Live in India or U.S.

People often bitch and moan about how bad things are in India or that things are now deteriorating in the U.S.

But few realize how much worse things are in so many other parts of the world like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Zimbabwe or in Western Africa.

The New York Times has a P.1 story today on how in parts of Pakistan (the Swat district), the Taliban has become so powerful that they issue death threats and prescribe rules of living via the Radio.

No singing, no dancing, no cable TV, no school for girls… (Although the story does not say so, we guess that includes no watching Bollywood movies too).

Horrifying.

Here’s an excerpt from the NYT story:

Using a portable radio transmitter, a local Taliban leader, Shah Doran, on most nights outlines newly proscribed “un-Islamic” activities in Swat, like selling DVDs, watching cable television, singing and dancing, criticizing the Taliban, shaving beards and allowing girls to attend school. He also reveals names of people the Taliban have recently killed for violating their decrees — and those they plan to kill.

….With the increasing consolidation of their power, the Taliban have taken a sizable bite out of the nation. And they are enforcing a strict interpretation of Islam with cruelty, bringing public beheadings, assassinations, social and cultural repression and persecution of women to what was once an independent, relatively secular region, dotted with ski resorts and fruit orchards and known for its dancing girls.

Last year, 70 police officers were beheaded, shot or otherwise slain in Swat, and 150 wounded, said Malik Naveed Khan, the police inspector general for the North-West Frontier Province.

The police have become so afraid that many officers have put advertisements in newspapers renouncing their jobs so the Taliban will not kill them.

Here’s another instalment of Incredible India featuring some of those only-in-India incredible stories:

* This is weird. Shiv Sena, a political party in Maharashtra, is looking at selling a branded version of the vada paav snack called Shiv Vada Paav.

What next? DMK Idli, AIADMK Pakoda, BJP Bajji, Congress Mysore Pak, BSP Jalebi, Akali Jamun, CPM Rosogolla…Here’s an excerpt from the DNA story:

The Shiv Sena wanted to sell a branded version of the vada paav — made of boiled potatoes dipped in gramflour batter and shallow fried and served between two portions of a bun — at stalls run by the party across Mumbai.

On Nov 24 last year, the Shiv Vada Paav was launched as a trial basis. Two days later, terrorists attacked Mumbai. Over 160 people, including foreigners, were killed in the terror drama that lasted nearly 60 hours.

* Who says our Indian policemen have nothing but encounters (Indian English for murder by policemen) on their mind. A drunk traffic cop in Continue reading »

They are Not Our Tamils; Do Not Interfere in Sri Lanka

Stalin (the original Russian guy not the duplicate local fella) did many things wrong.

But Stalin did one thing right when he angrily yelled at Lenin’s wife Nadezhda Krupskaya that just because she used the same toilet as Lenin gave her no reason to interfere in party affairs.

Similarly, just because some Sri Lankans speak a version of Tamil (hey, even their Tamil is a bastardized version of our Tamil), that is no reason for Indians to jump to the support of Sri Lankan Tamils.

They are not our Tamils (Naan oru thadava sonna… Nooru thadava sonna mathiri).

Let the clowns in Tamil Nadu – Karunanidhi and the other bozos – froth at the mouth all day and all night, India must stand firm and not intefere in the current war in Sri Lanka.

As AIADMK leader Jayalalitha rightly said the other day, “the killing of innocents is inevitable in a war. No country is an exception.”

Let these misguided clowns issue their final appeals, hand down their ultimatums and engage in hunger strikes. India must not budge.

The war between Sri Lankan armed forces and the terrorist outfit LTTE is Continue reading »

Incredible India – 2

Here’s Take 2 of Incredible India containing some of those only-in-India incredible stories:

* Priests at an Orissa temple performed a special purificatory ceremony after the visit of a Dalit minister. There must be a special place reserved in hell for the Brahmin swines who still engage in obnoxious discriminatory practices in many parts of India. 

* Karnataka buses stop entering Maharashtra border.  Are Karnataka and Maharashtra two separate countries? It would seem so. Here’s an excerpt from the TOI story:

The Karnataka State Transport has stopped plying its buses in bordering areas of Maharashtra after Akhil Bhartiya Chhawa Sangathan burnt a Karnataka bus in Latur on Sunday.

Chhawa had torched a Karnataka state transport bus on Sunday at Latur as a protest against the Karnataka Government using force against Marathi speaking population protesting against the assembly session in Belgaum.

Karnataka buses have stopped entering bordering areas in the backdrop of attacks on them, Divisional Controller, MSRTC, Latur, R K Jadhav said.

* India accounted for 22% of global pregnancy-related deaths in 2005, according to the UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children 2009 report. Yes, India also accounts for 25% of deliveries unattended by skilled healthcare workers.

* Movie piracy is so rampant in India that Slumdog Millionaire was available on the Local Area Network of IIT Kharagpur before the movie’s official debut.

*  It’s Diwali in parts of Bihar. Some remote villages in Bihar are getting electricity because they happen to be along the route of the local Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Vikas Yatra.

* Sure, road accidents are often beyond your control but pray that it never happens to you in India. We are increasingly seeing reports of road accident victims in India being just left unattended to die.

* Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is apparently very mad over the reaction to his latest crap show Chandni Chowk to China. Why the hell is Akshay mad? The audience should be mad and Akshay Kumar should be on his knees begging forgiveness for subjecting fans to such torture.

Mera Bharat Mahaan.

Barack Obama is Here; Bush Nightmare Ends

Folks, the long nightmare has ended. 

Barack Obama is now our President.

The 44th President of the United States of America (the country, we and over a million other Indians now call home).

The First African American President of the United States of America (one cannot even imagine the pain that Blacks have endured for over 400 years).

And we couldn’t be happier today.

Barack Obama – 44th President of USA

Facing so many pressing problems, our country badly needs an adult in the White House.

We have very high hopes from Barack Obama.
