auto pilot mode....

just one piece of advice my friend...just one piece...

dont question anything...they think its a fantastic idea to have shehnai playing next to the DJ...heck it is....they think that you cant meet her entire next week till the actual wedding day...so be it...they think flowers on the ground will look better than flowers on the table...oh you bet they would....they think getting a kashmiri singer to sing for 6 hours and paying him 13 grand is all fine...yes it is..

...they think they know better...ofcourse they do....

...just be in the auto pilot mode...drive...dont direct....

so be it....

am off people....marriage is knocking on my door...and the parents of all single women in this world are hosting a global party to celebrate the occasion..

everyone's invited...

catch you in november...

yeh to bada toin hain....

belive me if you wish to...but this is actually the motto of our new project...! its a tough piece to work on...data is as scarce as images of rakhi sawant hiding her assets and instances of bappi lahiri adressing himself as bappi lahiri and not Mr. Bappi Lahiri...

so basically...yah...the project bada toin hain...!! i am sure you are not one of who those doesnt hv a friggin clue of what i am talking about...

which brings me to a few ads that i have seen/heard lately...and hv got me questioning the fundamental of mankind. ok...whatever...not as far...but definitely questioning some fundamental...lying someplace...

1. Laxmi Chachi

some dude told me that its Reema Lagoo in there....and i was like....bullshit...get out of here....she is like...mom dude...she is Mother India. there is no way in hell that she would be seen on national TV stretching panties...

but holy friggin shit its true...its really true...

i mean why....why woudl anyone....anyyyyyone...do this..!! it couldnt be possibly money....especially not reema lagoo...she is friggin mom everywhere...! omnipresent....! jst like himesh bhaiya...! u think of celluloid moms (why doesnt this sound right...?? nevermind)...and you think of her..! and here she is...going through rounds of elasticity to such gory details...!! eeessshhhh...in utpal dutt style....

2. Ravi Nursing Home

so..i admit...i am a convert....! from believing that indian radio sucks real BIG TIME...i hv atleast started dedicatig office driving time to Fever 104...and quite like the channel and the RJ lokesh. but no..it wasnt his ad...

i believe it was world heart day sometime back...and i hear this marvel of an ad on radio...

"celebrate the world heart day with a 20% discount on bypass surgery at the Ravi Nursing Home. SMS heart to 5 something something"

WTF..!!!

so lemme attempt to enter the mind of the patient here...and gather his internal response on hearing the ad

"oh wow...20% discount...awesome shit...i have to get that long postponed bypass surgery now...darling chale???"

"toooooooo much...20% discount...joy to the world...i better cancel my apollo hospital reservation and check in to the ravi nursing home. consumer is the king..."

"OMGGGGG...i mean...OM friggin GGGGG....i had to hear this right on the day after my by pass surgery...here i am ...wasted all my savings on a stupid operation...and this gem of a deal comes and goes bham...!! right in my head...shit shit....shitttt....a..aaahhhh...aaahhhh...mera dil...koi hain...koi hainnnn....dil mein dard...koi hainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

moronic material man...moronic..!! my to-do list before 30 has another item...meet the creator of this ad...

any other masterpieces from the indian land...??? please share...
