Rajini mania May 07 2007

Rajnikant is a South Indian legend, we know that. But this Rajini-fetish which every South Indian has is something we can not understand. Firstly, he is called the "Superstar" instead of Rajnikant. Secondly, go to any tamil site and most of the songs which are picturized on him are known as "Rajni songs" and are credited to him rather than the singers!

The guy is ordinary looking, a noted over-actor, has style which should suit a 300 pound black man in Jamaica but not a tamil fisherman or whatever he plays in these movies....and on top of that, the only reason he ever gained this much popularity are the remakes of Amitabh Bachchan movies done in tamil. One of these days I am gonna get my servant, dress him up in a pink tuxedo, make him smoke three cigarettes at a time, teach him how to say "Bloody rascal" and send him in a box to Tamil Nadu. I reckon they'd be calling him a legend within half a decade or so.

Afridi kicks Butt May 06 2007

When we put up stuff like this, you know it's been a slow week. But here it is: according to a PCB spokesperson, Shahid Afridi was asked by a team manager to get up from the front seat (in the team coaster, Sherlock) and make it vacant for the vice captain, Butt. Seeing that Afridi has been in the Pakistani team since the age of 4 (He's 28 now according to the PCB), he shouldn't have to make room for a junior like Salman Butt. Apparently there was a tussle between the team manager and Afridi. Afridi was well backed by the other team members, including Butt himself, who said he had vacanted the seat himself for Afridi. You kind of feel for the team manager in this situation. This is the equivalent of being a British soldier: for 2 months you hide in Iraq, defeat an army of 50 infidels all by yourself, you cut them off from the neck and take their heads back to England in ol' glory, only to find King Edwards getting up from Namaaz with a loud "Allah-O-Akbar". Now you know your in deep shit.

India's shameless HIV campaign May 06 2007

Chee, Chee, Chee. The most common ads these days on Indian television are the government funded public service announcements regarding HIV/AIDS. The message is basically the same: don't be embarassed to tell your kids about AIDS and don't hide it from them as if it is a taboo subject. Now I don't know about you, but being a very humble and self-respecting human being, I find it embarassing watching these advertisements even when I am alone. Okay, so I find them thoroughly entertaining, especially thinking over the fact that the same ad which I watched has provided so much uncomfort to millions of households around the world. Wow, television is powerful.

Just a case to be put out to the people behind these ads, the only thing achieved from these public service ads is that the people who get embarassed from discussing this issue with their kids will get embarassed furthur. Your not really solving a problem. Don't try to to change human nature, it's impossible. Just ask me, my girlfriend still can't stop scratching her legs in public. It's human nature. Here's a video from one such ad (it's titled 'the cricketer')

Amitabh Bachchan to act in Ridley Scott film May 04 2007

According to sources, Amitabh Bachchan is all set to play a Jordanian in a upcoming Ridley Scott film. Alright! Now we're gonna get to see Bachchan kick ass in his Alien costume! Wait, oh yeah I forgot, this isn't part of the Alien line of films which were directed by Ridley Scott...shit, which means it's probably going to be some crap melodrama. Adding to the excitement for bollywood fans is the confirmed rumour that Big B will get to act alongside Leonardo Dicaprio. And for those of you who clean their ears with toothpicks and eat rice using earbuds, that's the Titanic guy. It looks like Big B's life has a few more turns ahead before someone hits him in the head with a brick for being so damn old.

Hrithik Roshan seen shopping in Dubai May 03 2007

Hrithik Roshan was seen hanging around in Dubai, still celebrating his Dhoom 2 success from last year. Hrithik was also seen in a shopping mall with his wife. Apparently the Roshans resort to window shopping, cause they didn't have an ounce on their shoulders. Judging from how Hrithik looks these days, and with all the money he's gathered up in the last few years, what he needs to do is buy a tire inflater and pop it into his mouth. That should restore some signs of what is supposed to be a human face and not what appears to be a banana peel after being crushed by a moving cargo truck. Cut down on that excercise, mate.
