Best way to propose

Came by some interesting ad at youtube. Suits the Valentine day just passing by.

Vday problems??? Simple solution...

Feb 14 in India saw a lot of protests from "activists" such as Bajrang Dal. Cards were burnt, flowers were thrown out, lovers were humiliated and some were smeared with black paint. Did I miss something??? Oh, I guess lot. But I am not writing it here to protest about it.

Bajrang Dal has nothing against loving each other. It is all about the day that makes it so special for them. You can go around the whole year publicly displaying your affection, even in front of these "active" people with little or no consequences. Yet on exactly Feb 14 even if you dare to walk out with your sister, you better be prepared (along with your sister) for the worst. So we can sum up that like a lady has periods, this Bajrang Dal people have also got periods, except it comes once a year and that is on feb 14.

Since all they want is not celebrate Valentine's day cause it is not in our culture, why don't we just shift it??? Shift it to a day like October 2, Gandhi Jayanti. Gandhi was a patron of peace and love (even though he was a failure in his own love life). By saying shift it, all I mean is withhold the celebrations till the other date. Or finding a still better date, let's celebrate it on Children's day. I think Bajrang Dal will be too busy in other activities on these days, to look into other matters.

So, it was just a suggestion. Bajrang Dal, you simply suck! I hope you guys never marry and die your entire life protesting against love. And by the way, guys do let me know on what date you settle on.

Second thoughts :- What does the VHP stand for? "Valentine Hindu Party".

30 Days of Night


After having a long vacation, and as many of my friends thought, retirement from blogging, I finally decided to come back. This time around I thought I would write about movies.

30 Days of night is a good movie if you are an an insomniac and haven't slept for 30 days. Frankly, I am not much interested in horror movies, cause the plots don't get to me. But this one was a little different you can say. I liked the idea of having a realistic place of action at Barrow, Alaska, though there was little or no resemblance (as the pictures looked to me). I doubt people out there will live quite that peacefully after watching this movie.

Moving from the plot, the screenplay was ok types. Since it was inspired from the graphic novel which became so famous, it was bound to be good. The vampires are no good if you have watched a lot of other horror movies. They all seem like the rest. You get an idea about what's going to happen as the movie moves along and for me there was little or no suspense. The movie probably drew crowds cause of Josh Hartnett and Charlize Theron. Acting was good by them and the side actors.

So, if you have nothing to do and just got a lot of download limit left, go ahead and watch this movie. It will do you no good though. It is one of those movies which you shouldn't buy but rent if you really watch to watch.
