Kabul Express - A cinematography delight


After ages I saw a real bollywood movie which I can truly say is visually breathtaking. The trecherous, barren lands of Afganistan, which reminded me so much of Ladakh landscape have been captured beautifully in this movie. Laced with dark humor, the film traces the story of two indian journalists who land in post taliban period to get hold of any remaining taliban guy whom they could interview. Shot & narrated in a travelogue mode, the movie belongs to Arshad Warsi. His comic timing is awesome and so are his one liners - at times ironic but suits the situation and mood of the scene. Btw, there are no songs in the film (and the film doesn't need it also) and the duration of the movie is 2 hrs only. It's a must watch movie, infact I am planning to go for it again.

Justice for Jesica. What about others?

The entire media went berserk when Manu Sharma was convicted. No doubt it was a victory for those who had lost faith in justice but the fundamental question that I want to ask is - had Jesica Lall been a Dalit or from backward class, she could have got justice? This brings me to another topic - is justice, no matter whether it is delayed, is reserved for people from upper class or influential people? To a certain extent, I feel the media also has to be blamed for this. Justice For Jesica and similar forums were created after media highlighted the cause. But what about the Khairlanji gang rape & murder of Dalit mother and her child? I don't get to hear any word about it on any channel now. Shouldn't the media take the responsibility of keeping the issue alive so that the society pressurizes the govt to take action against the guilty quickly?

Condoms, Sizes, measurements

Read a recent article in TOI that a survey was conducted on Indian male penises and it was found that the condoms that are available in market are over sized as the average Indian male penis size is a centimeter or two smaller than their counterparts in the West. The survey concluded that the condoms made in India are according to international sizes and should be customised. But more than the survey, what I found really amusing and hillarious was the way through which the survey was carried out. Dicks of all shapes and sizes across all segment (metro, rural) of the selected participants were photographed and measured. Initially digital photos were taken and through a software the size of penis was arrived upon but it was felt that this mechanism was inaccurate and the best way to measure the size of the dick is the old fashion way - with a tape/scale! If at all this method was used, I could imagine the poor guy who had this 'huge' task of measuring dicks of all toms, dicks and harrys around him!!! (pun intended). The poor guy with a tape in his hand yelling "next"..."abey seedha pakad"... measures it..marks noting... "next"...:-)))

or Imagine his kundli & marriage bio data goes to a prospective father in law. ladka kaam kya karta hai? Jee...woh........dicks measure karta hai..." :-)))))

or..what could be the worst gaali that you could give him? ma ki/behen ki? Naaah..those are passe. DICKHEAD!!!! :D :D :D


Last but not the least the trauma that he would be getting when he finally he gets to see his own dick while making love with his wife and starts thinking about how short or long his dick is ;-)

Ok..back to work now.
