Disappointed & Wondering??

Sometimes you wonder are people really that busy in life that they cant have a few drinks or are they plain lazy or is it something much beyond that??

I wish I knew the answers....

Sprit of X'mas @ I.C Colony.

Here's are some of his shots..

Back in Bombay - Delta Update

Its been lil over 3 days back in the city some things that I noticed :-

 

Speaking in Marathi still is the sure shot way to  super fast  custom clearance

Vada Pav has increased to 5 Bucks outside Dadar Station

Churchgate Borivli Railway pass is still 585 monthly.

BMC is still laying water pipes in IC Colony.

Few People shit on the western Express Highway must be the fast cars and better MMRDA roads.

Mid-May mate now has some stupid caption everyday.

Hijras Basti on Tulsi Pipe has been demolished.

Chicken Chilly seems more rocket.

PS2 Games are 100 bucks here :)

 

more bakwaas laters..... :))

 

 

 

Mumbai Aamchich - Wonder if it will be released ?

I wonder if this Anti- North Indian marathi movie will be relaeased after the BMC elections.

“They have ruined the quality of life in Mumbai. They are dominating us Marathi people, who are the original inhabitants of this city, and are taking away our opportunities. I couldn’t remain a mute spectator, which is why I decided to produce this movie,” says Bansode, who wrote, produced, directed and acted in the movie.

What Bansode is doing is wrong, but at times I wonder what would be the reaction of locals in Kerala, TN, Karnataka or West Bengal when they lose out to people from other states of India in jobs and other opportunity.

Will we have local version of this movie in every state of India by every angry local??

India needs to create to alteast 5-10 more Bombay's to solve this mega migration from UP, Bihar and other poorer parts of our country,

Bombay, Apun aarahela hai ...

Moi will be reaching home on 18th Dec.

Feel freel to drop me a mail, scrap me on Orkut or buzz me if you know my number,

Looking forward to meeting my loved ones and usual suspects.

cheers

India's Gold Hunt.

Paes-Sania beat Satoshi Iwabuchi and Akiko Morigami of Japan 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 to win the Mixed doubles GOLD!!
Also Leander & Bhupathi survived 7 match points in the Doubles against Thailand to win 5–7, 7–6, 6–3
But apna Sania lost her final against China's Zheng 4-6, 6-1, 1-6.

To watch a match in the stadium in an electifying atmosphere in itself but to hear the National Anthem and the Bhangra music in a foreign country gives you the goose bumps and bloats oneself with pride.

Some pics of the games.. Click to enlarge it.

Sania & Shika Mania @ Doha 2006.

Vashundra Raje - Kiran Shaw Lip Lock at CII

 

 

I dunno whats the miss fuss in the media with the kiss

Besides I think its a bad Camera angles thats giving the wrong idea.

 Arabs here greet each other by kissing each for centuries , no big fuss or morchas...

 

I think after Jadoo ki Jhappi its time for Jadoo ki Puppy... Lets kiss all Indians ...Spread love and puppy :)
