O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala!



Oh the wonders of the Indian delicacy PAAN... Paan is a chew made out of a betel leaf and varying fillings, but is generally fillex with a mixture of spices, fruits, and sugar. Some contain betel nuts or tobacco which turns your mouth red when chewed. It is seved at the end of a meal, at weddings and other cerimonies for hospitality. It serves for a wonderful mouth freshener and it is believed to aid digestion. If sliced bread was older than paan, I would surely state that paan is the greatest invention since sliced bread, but more correctly: sliced bread is the greatest invention since paan (except its not greater).

...O chhora ganga kinaare wala!

I don't care WHAT you say because socks worn with sandals is DEAD SEXY

Care to disagree? First, you might want to reconsider when you see this groovy man.


Still disagree? What about all the cute children who do it? And don't give me any nonsense about the kid's being cute and not knowing any better because quite obvioulsy the only reason they ARE cute is because they are wearing SOCKS WITH THEIR SANDALS!!

Nishabd

Yesterday I went and saw the all talked about NISHABD starring Amitabh Bachchan. If you look at my previous post you can get a sense of what it's all about (also you can resort to google). I'm going to start off by saying that this movie didn't have a single song, and that lowered its rating in my book. Although, the topic was too serious and a song wouldn't really have fit anywhere. Right before the intermission, the 18 year old kissed the 60 year old, and we were left for 10 minutes on that note. And that's why the Indians don't like it: 1. KISSING on stage = BAD 2.it was a kiss between an 18 year old and a 60 year old. During the intermission we stocked up on delicious fresh mitha paan. Let me tell you, that paan was AMAZING! After much anticipation, the movie begun again. Now I'm not going to sit here and tell you what its about because you will have to see it for yourself. That movie was basically like watching my life (as told by Ronika). So in conclusion, I really liked that movie, but it could have been much better (especially with such a weak ending).

Aviators

Aviators are now officially Indian accessories. As seen worn by :
Shahrukh Khan,


old Amitabh Bachchan,


young Amitabh Bachchan,

STRESSED.DESSERTS

I was just thinking... you know how they say "STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS!" implying that desserts are wonderful and you should eat them if you're stressed or something along those lines? Well, what if I told you that DESSERTS spelled backwards is STRESSED! What would you say then, punk?

I love my fat rat boys.

The Indian squat. What is it and why do we do it?

Today I was cleaning my rats' cage and I was hosing it down when I found myself squatting... like an Indian. What is an Indian squat? Well, its a way of sitting that Indians do and can be seen in the fallowing pictures:


Now, I'm not positive as to why Indian's do it, but I can sure as hell guess. First things first. Indians are so bloody lazy. That's why they're always late to EVERYTHING! They're just wasting time... If that's the case, then my guess is that Indians stand around a lot and when they're out on the town and need some place to sit so they take the most comfortable position without touching the dirty ground- the Indian squat. As to it's development, I'd say that because Indians (particularly those in India) tend to work using the ground as their surface most of the time, this way of sitting comes in handy.

She is १८... and he is ६०?



Here we have your typical Bollywood movie. As far away from reality as possible, right? WRONG. In this movie (which I have not seen. Yet) an 18 year old girl and a 60 year old man fall in love. Attraction between two people is natural, despite an age difference. And that my friends, is why the Indian public is not ready for this movie. HENCE the NATURAL. Bollywood films usually have some crazy love story that you would only find in your dreams or fairy tales. Let’s face it, we’re still very orthodox and conservative about certain issues. You all know it, this 18 year old and 60 year old thing (... maybe not that old, but still) is completely realisitic, but the Indian moviegoer is probably not ready for this sudden shock of the CRAZY side of reality. I admit it, its crazy; a 42 year age difference is QUITE a lot. Although, think about the history of most countries and what is still going on in parts of India today... young girls were married off to people twice, thrice, 4 times her age! So what do i think about this? Sure, 42 years apart is a bit too much... but SOME people just need to think about that the next time they see some youngins who are only 13 years apart.

Let's Play कौन बनेगा करोड़पति!!




Have you ever just wanted to win 2 crore rupees (roughly $440,000) but didn't know how to do it? Well, शाहरुख़ ख़ान (Shahrukh Khan) is here to help. Previously hosted by the legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, Kaun Banega Crorepati (roughly translates to "who will become the owner of 10 million") is a way to make your dreams come true. Not only will you go home with X amount of rupees, but now you also get some of Shahrukh Khan's love to take home with you too. Don't be fooled though. At the start you may be thrown with some questions you think you know the answers to such as "Which of the fallowing body organ comes in a pair? A. Liver B. Splein C. Ovary D. Stomach (that was a real question) You may just think you know the answer, and I would reckon that you do too, but there are many questions that only an Indian would know the answer to. It's probably safe to say that you're most likely not to be headed home with 100 lakh rupees. So the next time you tell Shahrukh and his Computer Bhai to "freeze it" stop to think what you have just done and next time try out for Who Wants to Be A Millionaire: Canadian Edition.
