There was an episode of Friends (God I hate the mushy stuff but it was really good in season 3 and 4) when Joey tells Chandler that babies are chic magnets. Well maybe. It signals that the guy is caring and appeals to the deep wired evolutionary tendency to pick good fathers for their kids but it is lame you will have to admit. For one it is too obvious. Second anyone can do it (it has been done to death).Third and most important by doing this trick you are leveraging on the good emotions. But as star wars and lord of the rings are any evidence then forces of darkness are always stronger than the forces of light. Ok fine, forces of darkness are only stronger in short run and in the long run light prevails But scoring chics is essentially a short term endeavor. continue reading…
I recently read two reviews of my name is khan on open magazine that filled my heart with joy (links above). I wrote on this blog, about main hoon na khan the day after it was released. Next day when all the critics in the media were heaping praises on this sorry piece of I don’t know what , I was left wondering, is it possible for Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar to bribe all the “critics” in the national dailies ?! But later, I was thinking if millions of people enjoy bollywood melodrama – what right do I have to crtiticize it. Who the fuck do I think I am ??![Chetan_Bhagat_Anusha_2_States_thumb[2]](http://getupdated.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chetan_Bhagat_Anusha_2_States_thumb2-150x200.jpg "Chetan_Bhagat_Anusha_2_States_thumb[2]")
Bhagat was in news lately and again for the wrong reasons ( or maybe the right reasons according to his publisher). He wanted 5 lakhs to be endorse twitter tweets for some lakme or wills fashion week. Why not – I have quit my job – my books are cheap why shouldn’t I ( said Chetan). Jesus – he could not even come up with proper choice of words to put forward his point that if ShahRukh Khan can demand 5 crore to endorse a 5 day event , he can ask atleast 5 lakhs. He should have said some thing ,nothing, any thing better than – my books are cheap. So how come someone so awful is so successful.
One day after all the TV channels and newspapers were filled with praises for the little master and declaring him GOD, there were TV channels trying to innovate highly illogical conclusions in order to gain differentiation in this undifferentiated world event. And what amazes me is the reasoning which they gave as to how they have deciphered the hidden secret that Sachin will play the 2015 world cup, one can’t just stop laughing 
. I don’t want to name the channel but you might guess.
