A Case of Exploding Mangoes

Posted by a fan as books


I am not sure how i came to know about this book. For sure, it has got something to do with one of the google searches related to Pakistan, but couldn’t pinpoint the exact one.

This is quite an interesting book, mainly because of its satirical humor. (hmm…this made me realize why i am a regular reader of few Pakistani blogs :))

There is always a line or two which makes one laugh for every 2

A deal worth what? - I (contd…)

Posted by a fan as Uncategorized


well, i was about to finalize and publish the second post explaining the 5 points, thanks to Ganesh’s birthday, it’s a holiday for us here :) (crap, guess i am getting influenced by these stupid news channels calling Lord Ganesha as “Ganesh”,”Ganesh”, as if he’s one of their friends. ;) )

But there is a great breaking news across all channels from 5.30pm regarding Nuke Deal and Mr.Anil Kakodkar

Quayle Moments :)

Posted by a fan as Uncategorized


Dan Quayle was the Vice President of USA from 1989-1993.

No, this blog post is not about his history :)
As usual, while grazing over the newspaper entries in google news regarding Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential nominee, i happened to read Sydney Herald. In this, it was mentioned,
“Democratic strategists believe that Senator McCain has chosen a “Dan Quayle” – a reference to the

Maruti ad

One of my favourite Maruti ads…

Here is a blog entry with Maruti company release regarding the ad theme and creation.

There is also an ad regarding Fuel efficiency of Maruti, in which a kid keeps on driving his toy car everywhere and when his father asks him to stop it, he replies that the petrol is not getting over :)
A real classic one. (somewhat like A.R.Rehman’s music… one has to

A deal worth what? - I

Posted by a fan as Uncategorized


In this world of google times, one of the main problems is, we have become only news consumers. On top of that, a person like me, who takes any news articles by any journalist with a pinch of salt, it’s quite difficult to understand the truth of almost anything…

Indo- US nuclear deal is one such thing.
I hate being an armchair analyst.But i am going to leave this point aside and write a few

An intermediate result!

Posted by a fan as Uncategorized


There are days or maybe moments when one feels so elated and suddenly everything seems possible/achievable in this world. One is really bubbling with confidence and happiness. One feels really light, smiles to himself/herself. Infact this is also quite infectious.

I just had one such evening today :)

For quite a different reason though!

I remember, once when i was talking to my friend, i was

National Anthem

Atlast, India has an Olympic Gold medal winner in an individual event!
Suddenly it looks like quite an achievement by all of us, although the complete credit goes to an individual and his family :) :)

Stayed awake till midnight to watch the repeat telecast of the Shooting Finals and Award ceremony. And frankly I never thought i will become so emotional about this. But when the Indian National

Fav ad

I keep wondering why i like this ad so much…is it because of the violin music or because of the guy in the ad? :)
Still remember the day when my friend was forced to watch this ad amidst my exclaimed explanation. All she was interested, was in the violin music and the violin…after all, she was(or is?) an emerging violin player ;)

Anyway, when many ads are trying to drown the viewers with

Are we really secular?

Posted by a fan as Uncategorized


note: This is not a Polemic post. (thanks to one of my dear friend questioning me previously regarding “Polemic” posts, i am mentioning this upfront)

I had been really pondering over this question for the last few weeks, mainly after i started reading about Pakistan and happenings there…
Are we really secular or are we acting as if we are secular or are we trying to become secular by

Expectation

Posted by a fan as Uncategorized


There are many questions for which eventhough there is an answer, we can never really answer it because the answer is just not the way things work in a society. Now, it also doesn’t mean that one is willing to accept the way things work!

Friend: Tell me one thing. Why is it that a mother expects her daughter-in-law to cook all the favorites of her son and serve him? Imagine, if my mother also
