Wasteful Inquisitions Part II...

The enquiry into wardrobe malfunctions should be quite entertaining. My only wish is please let me be there!! i can help i promise! This could be my place for internship for the month of May!! (Paul and Sharmishta please take notice).

Since page 3 is deeply involved why can't the inquisitors be Simi Garewal and Karan Johar? Not only would we know the 'real' story behind the incident but get some good sets and snappy clothes. 'So tell me darling, what were your thoughts the second your dress decided to fall off?' or even 'Lets start with you, Carol, for the rapid fire round: Who do you hate the most, Bela Sehgal or the Indian media??' could be question number 1. We could end with a 'Knockers with Karan Gift Hamper' for the one who inspires most sympathy. And let's not forget the pristine white clothes... Or the signing of Koffee mugs... Hell, this event could attract more eyeballs than the Lakme Fashion Week did all week...

Or we could simply let the babus handle the situation. After watching Carol bare her breasts continuously for three months and taking many 'toilet breaks' they will realise that she is not to blame for the wardrobe malfunction. Now we'll switch to the designer. After watching the boob show for 3 months more with more toilet breaks, they'll decide 'Well the designer shouldn't be blamed for this accident.' Next they'll pick on the organisers. Meanwhile their wives will wonder why is my husband so exhausted from work. Well, madam, he is working on a matter of GRAVE NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. More important than onion farmers committing suicide. More important than a 4000 megawatt electricity deficit. More important than a 5% growth rate reducing every year. More important than cops raping minors...

Hell... i don't think i'm laughing anymore...

Wasteful Inquisitions...

Woke up in the morning to what seemed quite an uninteresting day. But the powers-to-be wished my day start with a big laugh. A few column spaces below 'Dirty Cop sentenced to twelve years' there's 'State government plans enquiry into wardrobe malfunction'. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! i don't know what i'm finding funny. It's power crisis time in Maharashtra and i'm already itching to know how many hours of power cuts i'll have to face. But no, the government would rather let us know how the velcro on the dress came off (duh!). Onion farmers committing suicide in Nasik... ummm that'll have to wait. You see, a little bit of nipple seen in a private gathering is of GRAVE NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. The state's laggard development can wait too...

TV...

First Sunday in more than a month i wasn't in college working or at home working. AD jury was bad. Hate myself for not fighting when arguing is something ive become infamous for. Nodded my head like a cow when the jurors ripped my concept apart. Anyways u win some u lose some i guess...

Saw TV without work interruptions. Watched absolute crap all day without hatching/rendering/lettering/pasting models etc etc etc. Three things are big this week apparently: one, Carol Gracias top falling off; two: India winning another one-dayer (which should make us forget 100 all out at Mumbai just a week and half back); three: all kinds of Sufi music inhabiting all music channels.
From Himesh Reshammiya's apparently Sufi inspired dog-yelps to Kailash Kher's intoxicating 'Teri Deewani', its become BIGGGGG. Add to this a number of Paki bands which are basically selling the same Sufi wine in a new bottle. Makes one think: if all those Muslim fanatics find out that Sufi actually started from 12th century Islamic devotional songs, what would they do? In fact, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (who must probably be the first guy to popularise this music form) used original Sufi songs and simply changed the addressee. Afreen Afreen with the hot Lisa Ray is actually a song in praise of Allah...
Well, i cannot continue without hot topic number 2. How many times has this happened? We lose 3 million matches in a row and then win 1. Just 1. And then the hype starts flowing again. ive read one journalist who one day calls us 'contenders along with Bangladesh and Zimbabwe for worst team' and then says 'this team is surely the favourite for World Cup 2007'. A mercurial team in a country of dal-badlus.. quite befitting wont u say?
Hot Topic Number 1: Carol Gracias' Wardrobe Malfunction.. poor girl! Now she's in the same category as the DPS girl and Riya Sen. Blame wars going all around. 'The designer shouldve designed better', 'The model shouldve checked the dress', 'It's all because of media hype'... OH GOD! GROW UP!! This 'wardrobe malfunction' was not Janet Jackson's top getting ripped off by Justin Timberlake. This was equivalent to one forgetting to draw up one's zipper after using the bathroom. i haven't seen a single MMS of that!

Star...

i have lived too close (ok, not that close) to Amitabh Bachchan's old house not to know what fanaticism he evokes. Even after he moved a few years ago, there would be people queing up at exactly 6 p.m on Friday. i swear that the traffic actually seemed to be considerably worse every Friday. And apparently, he waved from the terrace of his house (without being there for oh, about 4 years).
Anyways saw another bit of madness a week back, this time near his new house. i was walking along the pavement opposite to his house and this guy is walking in the opposite direction seemingly normally. A second or two before we cross paths he suddenly does a goofy dance (some kinda cross between a drunk ballet dancer and a duck with vertigo) with clicks and whistles and claps. Having been exposed to enough madmen on the roads i ignored and moved away. One cursory glance later i realised he was putting on his performance FACING one of the balconies of Amitabh's house! i so fervently wish he was seen by his intended audience...

The 20 day itch...

Aaaahhhh! It had to be like this!!! When i have time theres nothing interesting to write about. And when i don't the universe conspires to come up with writable topics. The media blitzkrieg over Jessica Lal, new type of diplomacy, the mill lands case finally settled, the Indian team doing so well, if nothing else then atleast the state of road construction opposite my road... so much to write... seems my resolution to keep off the blog till all work's done is a failure. And i will write about one of these things one of these days...
