Bereft of ideas, I have been 'inspired' by Overheard in New York.
Overheard in Bangalore [well, actually somewhere between Delhi and Bangalore]
Boy #1: Eminem se zyaada smart lagta hai Enrique.
Boy #2: Bon Jovi dekha hai? Akon bhi sahi hai, kaala hai bas.

The ceremonies had all the usual elements of a traditional marriage including a sumptuous feast.No mention again of what the frogs ate.
The frog princes were tied to long sticks decorated with garlands for the marriage ceremonies.Well that's kind of understandable with the groom being a long-jumper and being forced into an illegal marriage.
As for the terrified frogs, they are thrown back into the temple ponds after the ceremony.Tsk. Tsk. They weren't even given a chance to transform into princes.
The villagers threw themselves into the ceremonies with gusto.I can almost imagine the frogs getting bored of the whole thing and hopping away [alongwith their sticks like tiny little stilt-walkers] and the 'relatives' throwing themselves at the frogs with "gusto".

It has been a long time since this blog saw any activity. Who is to blame? I could blame the paucity of time in an MBA student's life. I could blame my own ennui. But it's just that... do you even care?
Anyway, enough with the yes-i-am-back-to-blogging statements for now. The whole point of this rather bleak post is - I thought of this really bad joke after reading this article by Paul Krugman.
If only love were this easy. Imagine a guy telling his friend -
"Oh! So you guys broke up huh? Don't worry dude. Just remember, in times of depression an expansionary monetary policy won't work. Don't try to give her lots of gifts and money to buy her back. Instead, try an expansionary fiscal policy, take more 'interest' in her and you will reach your true potential!"To which a fellow MBA student replied... [Needless to mention, she happens to be a girl]
"To reap benefits, you said fiscal policy is best. Right? Then increase the autonomous investment expenditure. Splurge on her! Then only the IS curve would shift and you'll reach equilibrium."Somehow geeky humour doesn't have the same punch when the geeks happen to be economists.

I wonder what Amul's target market is? Are they trying to appeal to the latent Joker-esque tendencies in all of us? Heh.

He talks to himself. Wonders out loud. Ponders about life in general. Has surreal experiences. Is completely disconnected socially. Yet, Jon manages to smile at times.
While some may not seem as funny at first, but when you take a second look at it, and you can't help but smile.
I wonder, what if Jim Davis or other cartoonists knowingly started doing this. Take all but one character out of the strip and it takes a whole new meaning. Imagine the possibilities, the layers of depth that can be hidden in something as harmless as a comic strip. I also wonder, if now I compare two Garfield minus Garfield strips from years apart, would it seem the same?

CAT is officially my favorite entrance exam now. Not that I'm an entrance exam veteran or anything but, I have had my share of exams. It all started with the IIT-JEE, CEE and AIEEE. I got an IIT rank of 1983 which might have been good for many but personally, I just couldn't spend four years of my life doing something I didn't want to, just to be in an IIT. That was what I thought then. I had a slightly more respectable rank of 197 in CEE and ended up with Electronics at NSIT. A decision that I still regret a bit since I always wanted to do Computers but after much discussion and dilly-dallying I decided on Electronics. And thus, I ended up doing something I didn't like too much for four years, anyway.

A man has married a dog to atone for his 'sin' of killing two dogs 15 years ago.At first it only sounds mildly amusing but if you think about it, it's just disturbing on so many levels. Doesn't anyone else see anything wrong with this? I mean, in India, where marriages between two humans is considered illegal. If they happen to be of the same sex, that is. By the way the last to last line is a perfect example of some really bad punctuation. Heh.
While the bridegroom and his relatives had a sumptuous meal the bridal dog was given a bun.Seriously, where are the Animal Rights people?

Ever since the trailer of Johnny Gaddar was released on Passion For Cinema I have been wanting to see it and once I did, I wasn't disappointed at all. Right from the opening credits sequence, to the music and the in-film references Johnny Gaddar is one big Tarantino-esque tribute to the movies of the 70s, to Dev Anand, to Amitabh Bachchan, and to the novels of James Hadley Chase.Akram, Jis par upar wale ka haath ho usko unglee nahin karte.And the absolutely amazing -
It's not the age, it's the mileage.
