3. A man goes to a restaurant, orders some takeout,
and sits down to waitfor his food.While he waits, he grabs
a handful of peanuts from the bowl on the counter,and as he
starts to chew, he hears a voice say, "That's a beautiful tie, isthat silk?
Very NICE choice!"

Wondering who made the comment, he looks around and doesn't
see anyonenearby who could be speaking to him. With a shrug,
he pops a few morepeanuts into his mouth.Next he hears the voice say,
"Those shoes are stylin', my man. Are theyItalian leather?

They look GRRREAT!"He whirls around to again but sees no one near him.

He glances nervouslyaround and then at his shoes, which he tucks
self-consciously under thestool. A little freaked out, he grabs another
handful of peanuts. This time thevoice continues with,
"That suit looks FANTASTIC! Is it an Armani? Verynice!"

He immediately calls the waiter over and says,
"Look. I keep hearing thesevoices telling me how great my tie,
my shoes, and my suit look - what's upwith that?
Am I GOING CRAZY??""

Oh," the waiter nonchalantly replies. "It's just the peanuts.

""The PEANUTS?!?" the astonished man asks,

staring at the bowl beside him."Yes," replies the waiter,
"…they're complimentary."

Rahul Gandhi-Youth Congress Memb. Campaign.

Rahul Gandhi who hails from the most prominent political party
from India, turned down a cabinet post in Mr. Manmohan
singh's cabinet. Later, In his attempt to prove himself as a youth
leader started the Youth Congress Membership campaign. Its not
the first first time we have seen political parties wooing the Youth
vote bank. However, this time i see a young and smart politician's
commitment for the initiative he started.

He is young, Smart and looks sincere. He made a brave decision
by refusing a cabinet post. I sincerely hope its not a political gimmick
and he turns out to be a good Leader.

Recently i read about his visits to college campuses around India.
All this was part of his direct contact programme to youth,
where he is part politician and part motivational speaker talking about
larger issues that affect our country-politics,Pakistan,Naxalism.
In a recent Report its believed that congress got 1.3 million new
membership applications.

If the report is any true, Youths are indeed realising the importance of
young and educated politician in the current political scenario of our
country. I wish Rahul success in attracting younger, smarter and educated
people to shape the future of our nation.

Review:Fruit And Nut

Genre: Comedy
Actors: Cyrus Broacha, Boman Irani, Dia Mirza, Mahesh Manjrekar.

How often do we see a group of highly talented Actors wasted on a
pathetic story? "Fruit and nut" is no different.

The story is about the Male Lead(Jolly Maker) who is nerdy and
always finds himself in the middle of a disaster. He works as an
accountant in the office of a Greedy builder. One fine day, his beautiful
and sexy colleague Monica gets kidnapped. Then Jolly Maker finds
himself dragged into the plot hatched my an insane ex-King.
Remaining movie is all about J M's struggle to get out of the mess.

All the Actors including, Cyrus, Boman, Mahesh are over the top
and hilarious.The movie has some genuinely funny moments
However, the story is a big let down.
The movie tries very hard to make you laugh but in vain.
Better script could have made it a decent comedy.

"However the movie is far more better that the mind numbing

Mr. and Mrs Khanna"

My advice, Wait for the DVD! Cant find a better movie in
theaters this weekend? Go grab a beer(or MC Rum) instead!

Review:Indian Movies this diwali 2009!!

Hi! In case you have not read my profile, I live in Gulf. Every Bollywood
movie released in gulf is like a gift to me. This Diwali yet again away
from family, I decided I would bury my sadness by watching a bollywood
movie. The question was which one?? There were 3 movies releasing this
weekend. "Blue", "All the best" & the Mediocre "Mr. & Mrs. Khanna".

So being a calculative Indian i am. I could not decide which movie to
watch, I decided lets read the Reviews. I did end up reading the
reviews for all the 3 movies. However i was confused in the end,
Each movie has a good and a bad review. Now i am left with a
dilemma which movie to bet my money on?

Suddenly I realised, All the reviews i did read was in the view
of a person whom i dint even know.I don't know his biases,
I have not even seen him?? Why would i put my money on a
movie of someone Else's choice. I am educated, grown up enough
to make my own choice. So the best thing to do was to watch a
movie of a genre i like the most. I like action, So you know now
which movie i ended up watching first? Then came " All the best"
which is not a bad movie either. I enjoyed both the movies.
There were major flaws in both the stories,

But who cares yaar? Diwali hain yaar!!

So the review of a movie just depends on one and only person,

YOU!!. If you like the MOVIE adore it!!

If you don't like it? MORE ALCOHOL!!!!!!

All the reviews you read about anything are just like you! Some like you,
Some dont!!

A Love Affair-Did it cost us dear?

The Love story between the last Vicerine of India, Lady Ediwna Mountbatten and the first prime minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru is not a secret. It is beleived they had an affair during their stay in india, and the pair might have re kindled their affair on the Ex-Prime ministers subsequent visits to England. Though the Mountbatten family denied it, Liaisons during the couple's open marriage have been admitted. IS THE AFFAIR ANY TRUE???

One of the first allegations was made made in Richard Hough's 1980 biography Mountbatten: Hero of Our Times(Source:Wikipedia). It was also confirmed they corresponded through letter.The letter has been read by both families.

I seriously don't give a flying fish if they made out or were in love. Whats more interesting are the letters itself. It is believed that Nehru sought the Vicerine's Advice on politics and governance.

So the political decisions made by Nehru been influenced by her views?

After looking further on the Internet i found some facts. In an interview with Karan Thapar, Pamela Mountbatten revealed her father used Nehru-Edwina relationship to confront some

tricky political situations. This is what she said:

"He (Lord Mountbatten) did use her (Edwina Mountbatten) in such ways. But he certainly wasn’t going to throw her, he didn’t say to her ‘go and become the Prime Minister’s (Nehru) lover, because I need you to intercede.’ It was a by-product of this deep affection.

”

When asked about the Nehrus decission to refer Kashmir Isssue to UN she Replied :

"I think it could have been. Because Panditji, being a Kashmiri, of course, inevitably the emotional side comes in from one’s own country, doesn’t it? And my father just in dry conversation might not have been able to get his viewpoint over, but with my mother translating it for Panditji and making, you know, appealing to his heart more than his mind that he should really behave like this. I think probably that did happen.”

The above facts makes me feel that the love affair between Nehru and Edwina might have influenced the political decissons made by the 1st Prime minister of India. Could our history

been have better if the affair never existed?

WE WOULD NEVER KNOW WOULD WE? !!!!

In the Land of the Sand !!!

Coming to the Gulf from India as an expatriate worker was more of a leap into the dark than i imagined. At the First Job breifing, a week before our departure, we were advised on how to live in the most conservative and closed of the Gulf states - everything from studying to shopping, driving to diving, Was the water safe to drink ? Was there air-conditioning ?
Were there power-cuts (there were, frequently)? How would one's wife be expected to dress in public ?

Stepping off the Emirates plane in UAE was like opening the door of a sauna. How am i going to tolerate the heat and humidity ?

Being an expatriate in the Gulf should be a learning experience, and to learn you have to keep an open mind, if possible. And it's not only the host culture you learn about. You see your own one - and yourself -- more clearly, too. Every day has been a learning experience. Every day has taught me the importance of living in your Home Land.
