Whacky Thing of The Day (23rd March)

Watched DD National for half an hour.
A serial titled 'Shohrat'.
Complete episode shot on Ekta Kapoor's weekly pocket money at the age of seven.
Script with Hindi that could beat Jodha Akbar's urdu.
Costumes such that the nukkad natak company employees had forgotten to change before the shoot.
Acting prowess of actors from ramlila.
But the pluses:
Story volume equivalent to one season of Star Plus serials covered in one episode.
No back ground score, such a relief.
Constant grin on my face for thirty minutes.

In 2040,when mommas want their babies to eat up all their veggies, this is how the threat is going to sound like "Munna, you better eat up all your veggies, or else I will make you watch Ekta Kapoor's show"

Sick PJ but man, she is one creepy bird!

Nice blogs dude , but never knew that one has to develop a taste for scotch. May be older the better , so seems like it might take years after maturity to unestand you better .. he he he ;) since you are like a sctich ( self-proclaimed)..Just joking ...Didn't like that idea ( might have wrote something better ) though but apart from that nice blogs .... cheers..
