Do you know Matt Harding ?

Well, apparently you should.
Matt Harding is a big ’star’ on Youtube, thanks to the spread of his viral videos, which shows him doing a short, weird, jiggly dance routine in various places around the globe - from Mumbai to Timbuktu. He has three of them so far with the latest being released just last month [...]

WQOTD

Occasional re-readings of good old Plum’s extensive output can work wonders in perking up the depressed soul (second only to the restorative effects of a w. and soda brought to your favorite armchair by a trusted, brainy butler) .
Should be a mandatory prescription, or something.
No matter how many times you have read it, lines such [...]

Possibly useful trivia….

Offered in response to this story, which seemed to have caught the fancy of several on the desi blogosphere and specifically for those more familiar with the US lingo: in the land down-under, thongs does not refer to the undergarment but to a pair of flip-flops/chappals/sandals.
So if you ever hear an Australian girl say she [...]

The groan heard around the world…

….(well at least through the hallway of our floor, or more exactly by the two people in adjacent cubicles)… was me venting after having read this.
I suppose I should grin and bear the pj, having heard worse in my lifetime. But I feel a sense of indignation; after all, people seem to be getting upset [...]

‘Arey… Gorpar-er lok moshai… Hindi ki keu sadhe bole….!?’

A wave of nostalgia induced by this post, led to an youtube-hunting session with a desire to revisit what is possibly one of the most memorable - not to mention comic - scences ever created in the history of Indian cinema :the meeting of Jatayu with Feluda and Topse on a train while it stops [...]

“Drabheed is the sinister…..a demon”

This has made my morning, day and possibly the entire two days left before we fly off to Kolkata.
Via J. A. P., a Bong vents his feelings on ……who else, Sourav Ganguly (and his removal from the team two years ago).
BONGULY (its not in Bong, so everyone can enjoy).
[is there any way to d/l from [...]

The Knight Riders are coming…..

I am positively excited; brimming - nay, overflowing - with anticipation and gutted by the intolerably long wait. I am figuratively salivating …………
……..because, ladies and gents, the greatest thing to happen to my old, beloved city since Parnab started gracing the quiz circuits, is here:
Yes ……. the Kinght Riders are coming - no nothing [...]

Regular programming….

…..such as it is, will resume soon. As in posts/rants/reviews on topics other than cricket.
As the all-mighty Lord (apparently prodded by the Dictator, who for some peculiar reasons thinks much too highly of American Football) pointed out, this blog has been possessed by cricket in recent times.
Should we blame the partisan Aussie media? Should we [...]

Harbhajan Hilton

Heard on ABC Radio last night:
Comm1: ” Has Paris Hiton and Harbhajan Singh ever been seen together in the same room  ? “
Comm2: ” Dunno, why ? “
Comm1(trying not to choke laughing at his own PJ) : ” I always see Harbhajan shopping……I believe he is Paris Hilton in disguise…”
Comm2(giggling like a teenaged girl on [...]
