Politically incorrect...please excuse!
Disclaimer: These statements are not intended to harm anyone's feelings or background. Be proud of who you are...you can't possibly change your heritage! Take this with a pinch of salt and a whole lot of humour! I don't want death threats after you read this! Ok... as you have possible guessed from the title, this post is about all the politically incorrect, derogatory things people say about (individuals or communities). Now while most of you make not agree with this I think its damn funny and just had to jot down all the nonsense remarks people have passed (read: my friends, acquaintances and moi). Strangely (?) Biharis seem to be the brunt of most of the remarks! - Bloody Biharis...spitting pan everywhere!
- Bloody North Indians...don’t have any brains!
- Bloody Up-ites...populating like rabbits!
- Bloody Biharis...populating like mosquitoes (the person behind this statement - who doesn't wish to be named - was later informed that mosquitoes have a very short life span and after much debate and discussion later modified her statement to...)
- Bloody Biharis...populating like white mice (apparently white mice populate as quickly as rabbits)
- I think that the four southern states should separate from the rest of India. Anyway we are the ones with all the brains!
- Bloody North Indian capitalist b******s!
If you (or anyone you know) have ever made such statements or overheard such statements being made add them in the comments section...lol...again I stress... 'Don't take these statements / remarks to heart!'

?
ok....the reason this post has no title is coz i could not think of one that encompasses all that this post has to say...
of late i have had some really REALLY bad experiences when dealing with my editors...(will not mention names or organisation for fear of getting caught n fired!)
anyway there are certain characters who say 'hi baby' when they call u to give you an assignment...and the worst part is that they are people who are the same sex as me...the same said people also send messages starting 'Yo...wanna blah blah blah'...i mean really...talk bout extremes....strangely this does not happen with div n lak....i wonder why? its not like i give out 'oh so what if ur a girl come hit on me' vibes....do i?...well considering the fact that i study in an all girls coll n havent experienced anyone say 'hey baby'...yet...i guess it means i dont...so really what gives?
then you have other characters who when giving u an assignment refuse to explain clearly what exactly they want you to do...and in light of the fact that you have done a similar story in the past, it makes things quit confusing...grrrr
and then the coup of all coups....being told to profile people who have done absolutely nothing worth mentioning in 200 words let alone in a 450 word story for the sole fact that they have pushy moms' who call u at 8.45 in the morning and ask you if their son needs to do any 'homework' for the interview...i mean really woman...get a life!!!!
well thats all for now....eyes think they are faucets and leaky ones at that...thats what happens when u get a really really bad cold!
all ideas for a suitable title are welcome as well as ideas for further posts...if u feeling generous!

practical VS vanity
Disclaimer: This is my first post after almost 2 months...so if i seem rustic and not so funny please excuse...i promise to practice and improve!
anyone who has ever known me knows that i am a complete shoe-holic....really...i loves shoes....all kinds....high heels, flats, jooties, chappals, anything...as long as they appeal to me...
most often i decide my clothes depending on what shoes i am wearing...and that gets decided based on waht kind of function it is....really, there are different shoes for different occasions and u dont, just DONT wear the wrong one ever!
this however leads me to the purpose of the blog...how some women wear the stupidest shoes ever...really...i know i am sound like a snob and a bitch but be that as it may...i just dont understand how someone can wear high heels to college day in and day out...really!!!
i know that even if i do wear HH to coll it would prob be coz i am wearing a saree...but with jeans?to college? that to an all girls college? jsut who are they trying to impress?
honestly when i see such creatures who are willing to suffer needless pain (believe me wearing HH after a point kills ur back!)....considering the fact that students are not allowed to use the life i think waling up and down 4 -5 flights of stairs in HH is insane...thats why u end up seeing girls suddenly triping and fallin...
and the way they fall......really...i wonder how they manage it...when i try and replicate it to show ppl (thats me being a B) i jsut cant...there was once this girl who wore this amazingly tight skirt to coll with HH...now walkin down the stairs she fell...but didnt go rolling down...oh no...instead she fell forward...so her feet were on one step and her knees were 2 steps down...ouch...that must have hurt...
then there is 'the chick' of the coll...she always dresses up and acts all stylish...and always always wears insane shoes...like roman style tie up to coll...when u have to keep removing n wearing ur shoes to go to the lab....non sense
and whats strange is that most of these 'unique' creatures end up being in Vis Comm...boy am i glad that no VC gals read my blog...u never know what might happen to me in coll...i might jsut find myself falling down the stairs wearing sneakers!!!

BNP
lifted from divya's blog coz i was too lazy to type it out again...and it would have made no sense considering we are both sayin the same thing...
On a serious note, i'm sure most of you'll have heard about the Blank Noise project, and more recently it's Blog-a-thon. Those of you who don't, please visit www.blanknoiseproject.blogspot.com.
Well Jamseen who conceptualised the entire thing was in Chennai yesterday and a few of us(that's about 5 in all) met up with her. We've planned an intervention on the 24th, Saturday at around 5 outside Ispahani Centre. So if you're interested, please join us, or contact us or whatever's convenient. We'd love to have as many people as possible.
The last intervention at Chennai was on 28th May at besant nagar....Do get back to us at the earliest if you're interested and you support the cause.
PS - and if you have been against eve teasing all along do come...talks cheap...do something!

the city of mithai
Disclaimer: This is not the most riveting piece that was ever written so if you are in a blah mood, don’t read! Also if you are a bong (Bengali) don’t take offence. This is just my take on the city. If you feel that you will most likely take offence then don’t read!
If you ever thought that driving in Mumbai was maddening then you definitely have NOT been to Kolkatta! And trust me i know what i am talking about...coz that’s what I used to think too!
This was the first time that I was visiting the ‘city of joy’ (should really be called the city of mithai) and it was a bit of a shocker. The traffic there is maddening (to be said like phoebe)! People have absolutely no driving/traffic sense. Really...Chennai auto drivers are angels at following rules when compared to Kolkatta taxi drivers. They drive over the tram tracks, on the other side of the road and don’t move until the tram is almost upon them. I really pity the tram driver. They can move at a decent speed but because of the unruly taxi drivers...well lets just say if you had to walk you would reach before the tram!!
Another really irritating thing is that half the roads in that city are one-way roads. I mean really you want to go to the next lane you will have to take a tour around the city to get there. Also two-way roads become one-way roads at a particular time and vice versa. Talk about confusing.
One really cute thing about the city however are the cops. They just look too adorable in their uniforms. They haven’t been changed to the khaki ones that the rest of the country wears but white. It’s damn neat!
But enough about bashing the city. i just loved the mithai! Not the mishti dahi however. I just don’t get how people can eat sweet curds! But the rossogolla.....ohhhhh......I’m lovin it! I ate so much mithai (went for a friends wedding – an irani girl marrying a Punjabi boy and the wedding in cal....how totally secular is that?).....anyway ate so much mithai that I kinda feel sick...but it wasn’t my fault...me swears!!!!
There were about 10 of us from the girls side and 350 from the boys.... anyway we had to give them 21 boxes of mithai and vice versa.... now they could finish all that among them themselves...but us? 21 boxes? No fridge! So what do we do.... eat mithai.....lol....
Anyway i went on a tram and a hand cart.... was loads of fun.....and i had nice fish!!! Lots of fish!!! Yummy fish....
So all my BONG friends...eat your hearts out!!! ;)

The art of distorting, faking and outright lying
It ruins people, destroys relationships and breaks that fragile thread of trust forever. But people still continue to lie and lie even after seeing what it does. I would know!
I have lied a lot in my life... some small things, some big ones. That I finished my homework (as a kid), that in did not eat the chocolates in the fridge, that I did not cut my hair when fevicol got onto it (after my mom repeatedly told me to tie my hair up).... basically stuff like that. Stuff that I considered harmless.
But then there’s the big stuff as well. The important stuff. Things for which I should have told the truth but was either too scared or just blurted out the first thing that came into my mind and then couldn’t go back on later. At times I have either confessed later and got yelled at or I have been found out (much worse!)... At times like these I often wonder why people make a big deal out of it, why they just don’t forgive and forget and move on, why they want to ponder on the unpleasant thing... I have at many times thought that they were just over reacting and that if i was in their shoes I wouldn’t. But I just realized that maybe i would have done just the same. That coz I have never been lied to in the past but have recently. And it really messes with ur head...
But why do people lie? Why do I lie?
I don’t know and I don’t think I will ever know. But to all the people who i have lied to...i am sorry
And all the people who have lied to me...well I will try to forget but it’s really hard.... am really messed up in the head right now so it may take a while...
Ah life....it really knows how to bring you down when you on a high!

Sleep - O' Elusive Sleep
Disclaimer – This is not meant to be read by anyone who takes politicians seriously! They are my own views so don’t go sending shitty comments or threatening to kill me! It wont work....
Politicians are the bane of my existence (along with teachers and exams).....actually they are the bane of all our existence, but mine especially....now I have no lost love for them even though I have one for a neighbour....maybe its because I have one for a neighbour!!!
Anyway before I deviate further.... recently they have started to interfere with my life again and be a royal pain in the butt... the person in question...one mr. mahajan
Shot by his bro for some reason that no one really knows why [some say it was for property others say it was coz he was sleeping with his bro’s wife ;)].... the dude is currently in hospital with most of his organs failing.... now its not nice to talk bad bout the dead.... but since he is not yet dead.... well.... he he....
Because of this dude I was forced to stay late at office last night.....why?....because the big bosses thought that he might kick the bucket any minute....really....how kind...
Anyway.... all of us were so thrilled that we could leave at the usual time and then we were informed that we had to stay till 11.30pm ..... After that statement everyone (director, producer, intern, etc) started praying that if he wanted to GO at least be considerate enough to GO after midnight...that way we would be home with our phones off and it wouldn’t make a diff....
Well....he did NOT pop...in fact he still hovers...(some think he is dead but they waiting for a good time to let the cat out of the bag....)
well what ever the truth may be....please PLEASE don’t let it out at like 9pm coz then i have to stay late again.....SOB
# in the past 2 weeks i have stayed late for so many breaking news – mahajan getting shot, sebi scam, boardrooms, mahajan going to die......#
