hrithik refuses to move
We point your attention towards this outstanding story in today’s Bombay Times. It is a symbol of all that is great and good with journalism that has been paid for by a PR company.
The article is about Qazi Touqeer, that man who won Fame Gurukul, who became famous for having the highest scoring name in Scrabble. You know, if you could use names in Scrabble. Sure you remember him? No? Ok so let the TOI do it for you:
When Kashmir’s 19-year-old Qazi Touqeer first appeared on television in the music reality show Fame Gurukul, viewers couldn’t help but comment on the boy’s Hrithik Roshan look. His longish hair and lighteyes did have some resemblance to the Krrish star.
Yes. They were very very similar to Hritik Roshan’s in the sense they both have hair and both eyes.
Two years down the line, Qazi is set to take on Hrithik Roshan himself! Well, the boy is ready to set foot in Bollywood as an actor. His first movie Take Off is almost ready and Qazi’s very excited. “It’s got dance, romance, a lot of scope for acting. And, I’m also singing my own songs,” says the 21-year-old, who incidentally is not a trained singer.
People of India: WE NOTICED!
The movie is produced by Nasim Rizvi, the producer of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, who was in jail for alleged underworld connections. Ask Qazi about this and he says, “It’s a fantastic script and that’s all that mattered to me. Nasim Rizvi is a sweet guy.”
A sweet guy who perhaps smuggled a leetle bit of cocaine and such like.
From a lanky lad, Qazi’s come a long way. After he was declared winner on the reality show, he took a break, gained weight and worked hard on building his physique.
So does he really have a Hritik Roshan hangover? “When I was on the show, people said that. I was glad because Hrithik is a good-looking, hot guy. But no, I don’t have a Hrithik hangover. I am Qazi Touqeer and I’m happy being that. And by the way, people now compare me with Sylvester Stallone. Of course, I have no idea why,” he smiles.
Clue why people compare: CANNOT ACT.

hum itne bure toh nahi hai…
You know Orkut no? That social notworking thing.
Well they recently did a survey to find out how people from different countries ranked themselves on looks.
Women from Mexico are most likely (29%) to describe themselves as “beauty contest winners” and the least likely (2%) to describe themselves as “mirror-cracking material”. Men from Tonga tend to extremes, with the most (23%) claiming to be pageant winners and an equal number (23%) claiming to be mirror crackers. Uruguayan women are most likely (58%) to consider themselves average, as are 58% of Paraguayan men.
Indian junta, the ever dependable, humble people that we are, have proudly said that we are butt ugly. We have scored ourselves abysmally low. Not insulted enough?
Pakistanis think they’re better looking then we think we are…
THIS IS WAR!
For full full information read the entry on the Orkut blog here and get the full data here. Remember: higher the score, lesser the opinion we have of our looks.
Of course I did not rank myself on this poll. That might have changed things. Anyways I need to run for a Brad Pitt look-alike Orkut group meeting now.

haathi mere tully
Six Asiatic wild elephants were electrocuted as they went berserk after drinking rice beer in India’s remote northeast, a wildlife official said Tuesday.
Why do we even need to read joke books or see funny movie when life itself is so bizarre? MSNBC has this intriguing story of elephants who went nuts after tippling on barrels of local liquor.
And within moments everyone’s favourite funny blogger, Scott Adams of Dilbert, writes up a rib-tickling blog on the incident in his very own style.
My first reaction to that story was, “I’ll have what they’re having!” You don’t get to use that joke often, and I don’t like to miss an opportunity.
I’m no marketing expert, but if I were the farmer whose beer they drank, I’d start calling it “Shocking Elephant” and I’d design the coolest beer bottles ever. They’d be in the shape of an elephant with his trunk straight out, and that’s the part you would drink from.
How come none of our media swooped on this one? Hmm…

Read more...a terrible idea
Most people still flinch when one mentions the entire Nithari killings episode. Monindher Singh Pandher rapidly became the face of pure evil on TV and in print media all over the country.
While the case, I believe, is still sub judice, a rag tag bunch of ambitious movie makers have decided to make a movie of the whole imbroglio. And going by the Press Release and photos we received at JAM recently it all looks like a TERRIBLE idea. I will let the press release speak:
"D – 5" Nithari’s Cruel Reality on Screen
Every Indian stunned when they heard about sexual abuse and killing of innocents childs at ‘D-5′ Bunglo in Nithari. Producer Sanjeev Kumar Medh and Harish J.Gupta are presenting this blood chilling reality on screen with writer - director Yogi. The most negative roling master Raza Murad is playing Maninder Singh Pandher. The main accused of the Nitari case, Gopal Sing (Trafic Signal Fame) is potraiying Surinder and new comer Aleka playing Payal the call girl & victim. Ali Khan is playing Inspector Rana.
While speaking on his role Raza Murad told that he was very much felt thrill to play such a devil’s role and also exited though he was absorving keenly the original accused right from the start he did not know that one day he would be offer for to play this role. This is a very much eye opener films to the all parents towards be awareness for their childrens safety.
The film is very soon going on to the floor and will completed within two months to release early in the next year.
WTF! Childs? Negative Roling Master? Very much felt thrill? Absorving? Childrens Safety?
Call it for what it is dude! A soft porn flick! Currently this ranks as the leader in our WORST PRESS RELEASE OF THE YEAR contest.
Added bonus were the pics, one of which I will display here:
Something tells me this movie is going to be a must watch for the entire family!

So when did you learn to drive? Or did you just ask that friendly fellow at the driving school to get your thing in exchange for one or two Gandhi notes?
Leave comments and tell us.
In the meantime this boy in the US of A decided that age would be no barrier! And his parents encouraged him to it seems.

No Smoking -
I like Anurag Kashyap.
I love Vishal Bhardwaj.
I can’t say, when it comes to ‘No Smoking’ (directed by Anurag Kashyap and produced/ music directed by Vishal).
The gist of the film seems to be: John Abraham is a chain smoker. He signs up for a program which says (and this is from the CD inlay)
“I hereby agree to do whatever I am asked to do in order to successfully quit smoking…
IF YOU DISOBEY
Touch a cigarette with the intention of lighting up and your car will be blasted out of existence.
Too bad if you’re sitting in it.
Light a cigarette and your asthmatic brother will be forced to inhale all the cigarette smoke you have exhaled all these years.
Light a second cigarette and you won’t have anything left to hold that cigarette with. We’re talking about your fingers.”
And so on and so forth. You get the picture. Now this could either be a brilliant film or an absolute dud. I would hope it’s the first of the two but seeing the way RGV’s burnt out you never can tell. Even with the most talented types!
One thing you can definitely steer clear of tho is the soundtrack. It has all of 4 songs (2 are repeated, as is the norm these days). And all of them - literally - revolve around smoking.
1) Jab Bhi Ciggaret (Jazz) by Adnan Sami. Yes, that’s as horrendous as you would have suspected!
2) Phoonk De - the item number song playing on TV. You know hot-cold, high-low, Beedi Jalaile-Phoonk De. The thing is this can’t even be called a song - it’s more like mumbling with your mouth full of paan. To a background beat.
3) Kash Laga - Sukhwinder Singh, Daler Mehndi, Vishal Bhardwaj. ‘Kash laga’ translates to ‘take a drag’ for you non-Hindi types. The song is a drag too.
4). Ash Tray - yeah there is really a song like that
5) Phoonk De by Sukhwinder Singh
6) Jab Bhi (Trance) - Sunidhi Chauhan
There is one faltu poster of John Abraham without his shirt in the CD but we’ll give you a much much better poster very soon. So fuhgeddabout that.
All in all a complete waste of Rs 149. Or even Rs 59 (digital version). I am still hopeful about the movie tho!
P.S. The stupidity of it all is that John - who had quit smoking - restarted because of the film.
“Oh man, I’ve just been smoking and smoking for every shot, and I have to inhale the smoke too. I can’t just pretend to be smoking, it would show onscreen. I’d rather not do this role than fake it. “
Sigh!

Caught a bit of the Radio One College Radio Champions (http://www.radioone.in/) yesterday evening.
Chetna institute (the degree college? MBA college?? not clear) was on air. This was either the final or the final round.
But here’s the thing: this so called fresh and young talent sounded EXACTLY the same as the regular RJs. Chirpy chirpy. Cracking recycled jokes. Playing the same five songs (Om Shanti Om, Johnny Gaddar etc etc).
What is the point of the contest? Mimicry??
