My Aunty's Pooja room, every mallu in kerala has puja rooms in their house.

I am not surprised why Kerala is called Gods Own Country.

Chaiwallahs in Kerala are damn cool they will stir and mix your super kadak Kanan Devan Dust Chai in this amazing ritual of tossing it from 4ft into a tiny glass without spilling a drop.

I wish they served Whiskey n Soda like this :)

No one lives here anymore, as all my cousins are out of kerala and after my Grandfather expired there is no one to take care of it.

I hope am able to restore it to a better condition and relive the memories that are attached to the house.

Puke of the day

 
Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi said that theirs was ‘a jail bharo andolan similar to the one led by Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle’.
 
The mob — reportedly protesting the proposal of setting up a special economic zone (SEZ) in Raigad district — attacked people and their vehicles.
 
Joshi himself has bought a property worth 400 crores to build a mall and complex in Dadar.
 
Read da mayhem report
 
 
This shit reminds of my friend Nilesh, a loyal shiv sainik, who always fought for the right of the Marathi manoos all his life many years ago he was taking his sick aunty or someone to Jaslok  hospital and the shiv sena mob broke his car window shield and nearly bashed him up. 
 
I wish all the idiots who participated in the mayhem get a bigger punishment as I doubt any of these fuckers have cars.

Just Pondering

Is it right to expect friends to take leave and travel to attend your events, Or I guess its asking to much in today's rat race..
Or maybe I'm from a different school of thought...

Anyways WTF somethings I personally don't subscribe too and can't surely not expect others..

but then there are exceptions to it too...

Orkut celebrates Indian Independence


One more reason to love Orkut :))

Chak De India


ChakDeIndia, originally uploaded by Bombayite.

The film is based on Mir Ranjan Negi. The goalkeeper of the Indian Hockey Team which lost 7-1 to Pakistan in Asian Games Hockey Final, back in 1982 who later came back to coach India to Asian gold in 1998 and the womens common wealth gold in 2002.

The movie is well directed by Shimit Amin whose earlier movie " Ab Tak Chappan" which I also liked.

SRK and the all the hockey girls have played and acted well, the patriotic scenes do really give you the goose bumps.

I wont tell you all the story but its definitely worth watching and the timing is just perfect for a great Independence week.

And yes more people will play hockey and support hockey.

I give 4/5 Points.

Funny Ad in HT Yellowpages today :))

Parzania

parzania

Cast:
Naseeruddin Shah, Sarika ,Corin Nemec , Parzan, Pearl , Directed by Rahul Dholakia

Based on a true-life incident, about a Parsi couple searching for their son who has been missing since the Gujarat riots.

This movie hurts you, pains you.. makes you wonder if you are living in the 21st Century.. What drives people to do such mayhem and pogrom.
Fundamentalists on both sides Hindus and Moslems kill innocents on both sides, The government plays puppet and no justice is done.. I doubt whether it will ever be done.

parzania1

Gujarat riots was the first televised riots and hence the memories and images are still fresh in the minds of the people, Bombay and Delhi riots were not televised but mere reported with censorship ... Victims there also are yet to get justice...

At least now people on both sides somewhat realise that they are just mere tiny pawns in the big game played by politicians using each ones imaginary friend.

At times I think The Commies are a zillion times better at least they fight for real issues Labour, Land Reforms, Foreign Policy etc not for some Temple or Rath Yatra.

I pray we celebrate the 60th year of Independence with the hope that every Indian no matter which religion or caste or colour or ethnicity is protected by a Government who doesn't shy away from its Raj Dharma and the Army is given the freedom to protect its people in case the government fails to do it

Having said that, I still believe India is the greatest country and I still have faith in our young democracy and am bullish that it will prevail.

Jai Hind..

The movie is banned in Gujarat and was never released there.

HawaBaan Harde


HawaBanHarde, originally uploaded by Bombayite.

Have you guys eaten this??

It looks like Rat dropping but its an amazing addictive thing.. a zillion times better than Hajmola or Chatpat :))

I used to eat a lot when I was a kid, managed to get hold of a packet this week at the local chemist.

Great products never advertise.. think Yahoo, think Starbucks, think Google, think Skype... think Hawa Baan :))

Eat one Goli to an amazing chatpata taste..

Caution : Hawaban Harde is the ulimate blasting WMD's to tackle farting gujjus whom come return from Goregaon-Malad to catch seat in Borivli :))

Cash 2/5

Cast:Ajay Devgan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Zayed Khan, Arjun Rampal, Esha Deol, Shamita Shetty, Diya Mirza
Direction:Anubhav Sinha

The only reason CASH is watchable for the Glam Babes and Decent Stunts & 2 good songs... baaki da movie has no major plot and drags a lot even lacks background score at many important scenes.. even the animation is a major bore..

Watchable once juss for da glam babes & Stunts... 2/5 points

Dance steps for Ganpati Visarjan

Mobil eMule - A Downloader's ultimate tool

EMule

My Friend Bhatta has just discovered a cool feature on Emule, he was ecstatic the whole evening yesterday on his eureka moment.

read on ...

Hi Satish,
Some findings about eMule P2P client installed in your system and Mobile Interface for the same.
Sometime back i have downloaded eMule p2p client. It has the option to enable WEB and Mobile Interface. So whatever downloads request you have made it will get reflected on web as well as mobile client. You can also initiate a new request again by searching either through mobile or web client and then finally get reflected in your system.
To do this you have to go to Options->Web-Interface->Set password for everything except for Guest login. Apply the settings.
If there is any error while applying, like eMule.tmpl cannot be loaded, then search for emule.tmpl into the eMule application folder "C:\Program Files\eMule". If you find that file, copy it into the "C:\Program Files\eMule\config" folder and then try to apply the settings again. Doing this will enable Web and Mobile interface.
Try to connect any of the server listed. Once you connect you will get the clientid, this client id will be your reference, when connecting through mobile.
Once you launch your emule mobile application, you will be asked for ClientId and Password. The clientid is the id you get while connecting to the server from you eMule client installed in your system and Password is which you have set while enabling Web Interface.
Now you are done. This is cool way to control your downloads while you are on move.
Regards
Pranab

Makes Sense ...If you still haven't got it, Lemme try explaining it in a simple manner....

Imagine you don't have net at home or you have fuckall super slow internet at your house and you wanna download all the MP3, videos, software, pondy but cant do it , Enter Mobil Emule using GPRS on you mobile you can control a pc with high speed internet (preferably office pc with broadband) , you can start, pause and end download while commuting or boozing at your local waterhole.

Happy downloading, share and do the good Karma!!
WTF is Emule --> Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMule

Partner!!


partner, originally uploaded by Bombayite.

Do you wanna partner.. partner .. do you??

I assume that all you guys know that this movie has been flicked from Hitch..

yes, its a damn fucking good flick, Even if you flick something flick it in style, Thats what David Dhawan has done.

Govinda's dance moves and dialog timings are just superb.. In the contest of the Tapori and Cool Dude, Tapori wins hands down.

As they say in Bombay "Govinda ne pura picture mein Salman ko khaya hai".. well not in gayish sense but by his superb paisa vassol performance which overshadows Salman who has given an average output.

Beauties Lara and Katrina also stand tall in front of Govinda and Salman who have worn heels to stand upto them ...

Rajpal Yadav performance also is timepass...

In short go and enjoy the timepass movie and laugh loudly :))

If you an intellectual please stay at home or wait for Gandhi my Father, releasing next Friday.

I give 3.5/5 Points... Definite Dekko !!
