Bhau.....hey 'paradox' kai asta?

We should thank our stars (not the ones living on Bandstand) but the ones that are missing these days thanks to the pollution...atleast I dont see them. Hey SRK, lets have another round of Yeh Tara Woh Tara...Har Tara.

Isn't it silly that one of the premier standards agency of India and the alleged conspiring intelligence agency of our neighbour are both named ISI?

Needless to say there may have been some horrible one liners or deranged versions of sidhuism (Even I am called Sidhu in my society!) on Qasab....like the obvious...Yeh Qasab to ISI mark vaala terrorist hain...which would mean he is fit as per the Indian Standards Institute to carry out all his activities...(just imagine!)

Speaking of paradox in the layman's terms....its when Obama gets a peace prize and then declares additional troops to Af-gan-is-taan as he eloquently pronounces it. Another example of how he loves to "change" his stance.

Our neighbours seem to be affected by a syndrome worse than that suffered by Sanjay Singhania from Ghajini....They first disown, then accept and then claim they are victims of ISI mark vaala terrorists! operating freely in thier country. I shouldn't harp on the ISI jokes to much or our neighbours may pounce on us saying ISI is an Indian Intelligence Agency! Haha!

Anyway as I come to the end of another horrible post on this not so good blog...I once again wonder why I take the effort...especially considering I am Garfield's understudy...hoping to be like the Cool Cat himself....(I was gonna say be as famous...but I am sure Ill be as fat as him!)

P.S: I cant wait to hear a terrorist/singer from the other side singing....Pocket mein Rocket hain!

Sayonara freaks!

Doca Moad Doca Moad......Docaaa Mooad!

I hope you get the bad joke coz these days many of you guys n girls living here in Maharashtra dont understand a word of the language and still seem proud of it....that too Manse (I wanted to say Dil se but then thought another bad joke wont hurt!) (Doca is 'Head' in Marathi and Moad I presume means break in Marathi)

This mobile service ad is probably the most irritating tone I have heard since the 'Aiwa....Aiwa' jingle hit the idiot box more than a decade ago.
But this time I really feel like breaking my head when the 'DocaMoad' ad arrives...especially the one where the chorus sings it proudly in a train that definitely seems to be heading for a dead end. (Was the background the imagined Chan-gai....which Vilasbhau wanted Mumbai to become...dream on!)

Then you have the "yum yum yum yum....how dum(b)" burger ad with a guy making a mockery of the sanctity of the word 'yum' in the southie culture. Time to call the real 'Yum (Raj)' (no not that Raj silly!) and then the guy wont be loving any bit of it!

Coming back to language row....I remember a certain AB Jr. playing a Marathi mulga back from the US of A (aila) and becoming the next Sarkar....but 'donihi chitrapatat toh melya Marathit ekahi vakya naahi bolla' (great job AB Jr. you really played the part of a hot blooded son of the soil (bred on american soil...hehe!)

But then why single him out...that was a film....and I dont want to know if he knows the barakhadi....but I hope for the love of Maharashtra that he isnt one of those disgusting kind who makes fun of the culture and the language.

Not knowing Marathi these days is become a status symbol in Mumbai....now that certain governments want Mumbai to become a Cash cow for the Outsiders.....n I dont mean the Kasabs, Atifs and Samis.....I mean those Indians who in other circumstances would want their rituals and language preserved but care two hoots for us locals.

I am not a hooligan....coz I am to lazy to be one.....I am not an activist either coz as the name suggests it involves a lot of activity.....but I am a proud Maharashtrian....as much as I am a proud Indian.

I love the contributions made by the King of wit...Shri Pu La Deshpande....who floored us all with his amazing comic timing.....I am a fan of Shivaji Maharaj.....a king who respected men and women for who they were as individuals.

Whats more irritating than the 'DocaMoad' advertisement is the apathy of today's youth towards Mumbai and Maharashtra . I may speak some horrible variety of Marathi but I will keep speaking until I get perfect at it....coz I live in this city and I love this language!

Lets preserve it and respect it so we dont have to see some men using it as an excuse to get a few hundred votes in the next election.

Garvane Boltoy....Mee Marathi Aahe!
