Indian Team Victory? Don't get carried away....

"The King is Back"
"Their [indian team] walk had a tinge of unity" [Y just a tinge i wonder..]

"The Wall has shown that he is a down to earth person and has all the makings of a great captain..blah blah blah.."

After the victory,

The Wall received a call...Boss says "dada is very much there - Don't get carried away",
The Wall received a call...Living Legend says "dada is the greatest captain - Don't get carried away"
The Wall received a call...The King says "Tennis Elbow still not cured - Don't get carried away"
The Wall received a call...Pathan says "Dunno how i did it, can i repeat it - Don't get carried away"
The Wall received a call...Dada says "I could've added another hundred - Don't get carried away"

The Wall rumbles and mumbles "Don't get carried away"

"Don't get carried away - Says the Wall.." [Sudden APPLAUSE..]

He has is head on his shoulders, the statement proves it, gushes a beauty on tv...

Moral Policing at its worst....

Read the remarks below by elected representatives and curse yourself for electing morons...

'These women who are opposing the ban, we will make their mothers dance ... .' (The comments have to be translated into Marathi to gauge its impact.) During the campaign we had been asked, 'Will you send your daughter to dance in a bar?' But on the floor of the House, the situation had regressed, from our daughters to our mothers! They sniggered: "Isha Koppikar ... she is an atom bomb, atom bomb ... " This evoked great deal of laughter and cheer ... "The dancers wear only 20 per cent clothes" ... More laughter and cheering ... "These women who dance naked (nanga nach), they don't deserve any sympathy". A round of applause.

An esteemed member narrated an incident of his friend's daughter who had committed suicide because she did not get a job. He said it was more dignified to commit suicide than dance in bars. And the House applauded! The message for women is clear: If you happen to be born in a poor family, you are better off dead!

Govinda Tapes

For nearly 2 hours, i saw govinda valiantly defend himself on TV.
The Tapes though a good find for the Intelligence Bureau, has nothing new to show.It's common knowledge that actors were bullied by underworld and made to attend shows and work in their films.
In fact what has been established by this interviews is that govinda was used by the criminals than, and now is being used as a pawn by the politician and the media.
Amarsingh requested him not to come to UP to campaign [the so called powerhorse from samajwadi was afraid of govinda...??].
Ram naik has the cheek to ask govinda to resign, i think we can cite many reasons for him to resign from an active life in politics.
Rajat Sharma does not think twice before threatening govinda live on tv "Hamare Pass aur bhi aise tapes hai aapke...hum chaahe to...", what journalism is this?
Instead of just presenting the tapes couldn't they have contacted the authorities and asked them whether they knew about it or atleast brought one current serving authority on TV along with a lawyer so that the public could be enlightened about what is criminal activity and what is not?
Bollywood is a soft target, show some guts Mr Rajat Sharma and show us tapes of Politicians and Police too who we know are not totally clean.....

Rape....by the Cops....

The police commissioner of mumbai was at pains to explain on tv abt what the police dept is doing to relieve the cops of stress by introducing them to yoga classes, counselling, mental relaxation courses such as art of living etc etc....

1. So does that mean that stress can be the only reason for a person to commit rape and that means he is different from other criminals or rapists and deserves a lenient approach.
2. If the above courses can be thought of and introduced by the top brass for the department, can it be made available to the prisoners too.?
