10 things that were sorely missing


  1. The word ‘white’ from the monkey chants directed to Symonds – ‘White Monkey’ chants would have leant more substance to accusations of racism.

  2. AB, baby and bahu from the Om Shanti Om title track.

  3. SRK’s normal amiability – first stating he’d be the last to quit smoking after watching a movie with this message; then taking a lit cigarette to a press conference. What man, Shahrukh… John se jalan? Sirif cigarette hi nahi jal rahi, shayad. (Eeks, I am very ashamed of my newfound talent as the stereotypical sneering yellow journalist)

  4. Dhoni’s flowing locks.

  5. Devotees – from temples other than those dedicated to Devi Ma during the navratras – a Hanuman temple looked so sorry and empty and bedraggled compared to the nearby puja pandals!

  6. Style – seems to be an alien word for Sonam Kapoor. Girl, go take a leaf out of daddy’s book.

  7. Priyanka Chopra’s memory cells – if gossip rags are to be believed.

  8. Manmohan Singh’s iron hand – all we get to see is the velvet glove. (We know Sonia and MMS are hand-in-glove.)

  9. Vultures – they are fast disappearing from the Indian skies and Indian cadavers are probably sighing in relief? Naturalists, hurry ere you worry.

  10. Style – from my hair. These days its looking like Harry Potter’s broom that got electrocuted. :(

Oh, dint know abt Symond's colour..as usual thanx for yur correction...but I still dont understand how calling even a black man 'monkey' should be racist...even more interestingly, did the guys arrested for racism know that symonds aint a white before launching into the monkey chants? So far as i think the angst against Symonds was coz he was beating the hell out of our bowlers!

and my comment regarding Sonam was not because of her image in the movie...take a look at her in the public appearances shez made so far...even if one wears fully-covered salwar kameezes, there is a certain thing called 'cut' tht seems to be missing from her outfit. And yes i agree her modesty in dressing is very becoming and a rara avis these days.

i know deeps.... comments agnst that moneky wasnt racist... i really doubt those guys even knew symonds is black.... they were just tryin to make fun of him... nd that got transformed into racist one...even past oz grt like mark waugh n allan border felt that this is something that wasnt racist... nd they evn asked symonds to back off......

n regardin sonam...well i will so badly want a wife/gf like her..... stylist or not......i dont care....

nd u know deepti.... a frnd of mine always get sentimental when he sees symonds on tv.. his comments being......

"

5 things that missed the missings.

1.No.4 has become defunct.Dhoni is sporting a crew cut now.Tell you looking fabulous with that mean look.

2.No.5.Indian custom,"Athithi Devo Bhava".Let our resident Hanuman take a back seat and allow Durga take the lime light for just four days.

3.Bless that child Sonam with her unpretentiousness.So rarely found these days.

4.Priyanka Chopra??Does she have gray cells?That's news to me.

5.Show the naturalists the path that leads to Orkut.All the vultures are flocking here sans their lethalness.They've undergone
gene therapy.All of them have become resident jesters of Orkut.

Once again a Cool Blog Lady.
