Gong Xi Fa Cai!

This video seems to be the most talked/circulated about, this Chinese New Year season!

Its so damn funny. Its a pity that I cannot understand the lyrics. Any kind soul out there wants to translate it for me?

The Animal

We have all had instances where we hear the lyrics of a song or a dialogue in a movie incorrectly. Some of them sound silly, some are hilarious, some are ridiculous and then there are the ones that sound downright embarassing. Let me tell you about one such embarrassing goof-up by yours truly!

You may have watched the hindi movie Aitraaz. Its a Indianized version of the english movie Disclosure. Anyway, there is this scene in the movie where Priyanka Chopra is trying to seduce Akshay Kumar (and is almost succeeding). At this precise moment she utters a dialogue in a very husky voice.

What she says: Show me you are an animal Raj, show me you are an animal.

What I hear: Show me your animal Raj, show me your animal.

My reaction: WHAT??!!! :O Did she actually say that?? She calls 'it' an animal?? How how... corny, kiddish and ridiculous. How did PC even agree to mouth such a dialogue and who even wrote that dialogue??? Yikes!!!

Hey! In my defense, the audio wasn't very clear and her voice was all husky.

Hee Hee

Got this in a forward.

I can so empathise with this guy!

Ha Ha Ha

Last week, when I went to the salon for a haircut, I saw that they had renovated the place. The old salon was gone and in its place stood two salons - one for the men and the other for the ladies. Any guess what they had named the two salons ?

The men's salon was called as "Abhishek Men's Salon" while the ladies salon was called as "Aishwarya Ladies Beauty Parlour" :O For a second I did not know what to say and then I burst out laughing loudly on the road :)) Jesus christ!! People and their thoughts!! They had even put up posters of the stars on the respective salon doors.

Blade Baira
Dabba Rathni

Kaddi Kallesha
Mental maja.. Daridra nanja
Tikkalu Timmanna

The last one was my favourite =))

F.R.I.E.N.D.S Stuff

I am absolutely crazy about the TV sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I have seen the episodes so many times that I remember almost all the dialogues. Just a clip/picture from an episode and I will be able to recognize from which episode and season that is from. Infact, couple of my friends call me a talking F.R.I.E.N.D.S dictionary. Its true.

Being such a huge fan, its quite obvious that I like to collect F.R.I.E.N.D.S merchandise. So on my recent trip to Singapore, I came across the original DVD's of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and purchased the Season-5 DVD set. Due to financial reasons and other intended purchases, had to restrict myself to just one set. Else I would have definitely purchased the DVD set of a couple of other seasons too.

I just love to purchase music and film DVD's. Its so tempting. Since I started earning, each time I walk into a music store, I chance upon something that catches my eye and end up buying it. Initially, I was not at all aware that F.R.I.E.N.D.S was available on CD's and DVD's. Once I discovered it, there was nothing to stop me. Not that I brought all of them at once, but have been purchasing and collecting them over time. I have only seen the CD's of F.R.I.E.N.D.S in India and that too the ones from Saregama... not the Warner Bros one. Right now in my collection, I have the complete Seasons of 8, 9 and 10 on CD and Season 5 on DVD. I plan to buy the remaining seasons sometime soon. But I do not want the CD's. I want to purchase the original Warner Bros version DVD's. So when I go abroad the next time, I definitely know what I will be spending money on.. :D

The other F.R.I.E.N.D.S merchandise that I came across was the book "The One With All Ten Years, F.R.I.E.N.D.S ...'TIL THE END" by David Wild. Chanced upon it at Crossword. That too at 60% off. I immediately picked it up. Paid around Rs. 500 for it. Certain people were shocked to hear about it, but then who cares!! I have been wanting to buy somethng of that sort for ages and was not going let the price tag stop me. Its an amazing book. Its got lots and lots of awesome high resolution photographs, trivia, episode guide and interviews with the cast and crew. Its definitely a must have for any F.R.I.E.N.D.S merchandise collector. If you are a F.R.I.E.N.D.S merchandise collector, pick up this book at a bookstore now!!!

lol...

I find it so amusing when I get these mails which compares men and women and tell who are better or luckier people... I dont mean to be a sexist, but some of them are so funny... Here are some snippets from a mail I got recently and it tell as to why men are Happier people.

1. Wedding plans take care of themselves.
2. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
3. Car mechanics tell you the truth.
4. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
5. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. [ :)) ]
6. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
7. You almost never have strap problems in public.
8. You only have to shave your face and neck.
9. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
10. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
11. You don't freak-out when you go to a party and see another man wearing the same shirt, instead you become buddies.

Hee Hee.. :D

Tremors in Bangalore !!!

Yesterday, we felt tremors in office... I did not realize it immediately. Couple of my colleagues told me so and after that was able to feel the steady vibrartions.... Was stunned... Earthquake in Bangalore ?????????? Oh My God !!! Immediately went to rediff.com, ndtv.com and checked if any news was there about it... There was no news....

They were like steady tremors..continuous. I did not know how to react.. and the best part is no one seemed to be bothered.. Everyone was like, Can u feel the vibrartions ??? and then nothing... they went back to their usual routine.. For a second, got little scared. And then thought, what the hell !!! If an earthquake was intended to strike bangalore, there is nothing I could do about it. Its all fate.. Thinking so, got busy with work.. and kinda forgot about it...

Later I came to know that those tremors were not because of an eathquake. Infact the road infront of my office is being completely relaid and a fresh coat of asphalt was being applied.. I feel like a complete fool now.. :D (in my defence, I have never experienced an earthquake/tremors).

(Ring)ing Experience

U must all have seen the movie "The Ring". It came out about 4 years ago. A few of my friends happened to watch the movie in the theatre and raved abt it. It is this scary movie which really spooks you out. The movie is about this videotape, which if anyone happens to watch, will get killed. One more characteristic is that the moment you finish watching the tape n switch it off, you get a phone call which informs you about your impending death.

The concept seemed very interesting and since I could not catch the movie at the theatre, I got a VCD of the movie from the local video store. As it happens there was no one at home that day. I popped the CD into the PC and saw for about 20 mins of the movie. I could not continue further as there was a power failure. The moment the power went, the phone in my house started to ring. I was like, "Oh Shit!!!!.. Dont tell me". It was a quite scary momemt, inspite of knowing that it was just a coincidence... Now that I happen to think abt it =)).

The call turned to to be from one of my friends, who was feeling bored at home, so happened to call up. :)

An Encounter

I had a kinda wierd experience while coming to office a couple of months ago in the morning. Now that i think of it, feel like rolling on the ground with laughter.. Anywayz here's wt hpnd ---

I ws on my way to office on my faithful activa.... was about 300 metres from office, when i saw this string on the vehicle left handle(near the brake).... it looked like a shoe lace... I ws like, “how the hell did a shoe lace come there”... I then observed that the “shoe lace” tapered towards the end... now that’s kinda weird.... all this was while I ws still driving... I then observed that the string started to move and ws quite sure that it was not because of the wind.... Well.. the string turned out to be........ “A Rat’s Tail”, Yikeeeeeeeeeessss!!!!! God knows how it got into my vehicle... I then had to drive for another 300 metres with the tail hanging from the handle( the rat ws inside the handle).... parked my vehicle in the parking lot, rushed to the loo n washed my hands thoroughly with soap n water.. phew!!!!.... In a way I am glad that I did not notice the tail earlier.. U ask why ? cause, in case I did, I would have to drive all the way to office with the rat in my vehicle n it tail hanging or I would have to stop the vehicle, pull the rat out with its tail (wooaaak!!! >:p)
