This is what my fav show is all about

Simpsons creator Matt groening comments that this dialogue from "The Simpsons" sums up the whole show:

Marge: Homer, it's the thought that counts. The moral of this story is a good deed is its own reward.
Bart: Hey, we got a reward. The head is cool.
Marge: Well then... I guess the moral is no good deed goes unrewarded.
Homer: Wait a minute. If I hadn't written that nasty letter, we wouldn't've gotten anything.
Marge: Well... then I guess the moral is the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Lisa: Perhaps there is no moral to this story.
Homer: Exactly! It's just a bunch of stuff that happened.
Marge: But it certainly was a memorable few days.
Homer: Amen to that!

Two movies that I saw recently.

Finally saw PAGE 3 last night. Madhur Bhandarkar manages to leave you with something more to think about...as he did in Chandni Bar. Really made me think about the Entire concept of Page 3. After all Life's all about making compromises and deciding your priorites at each step. On a lighter note, it's after a very long time that I've seen a mainstream Hindi movie where the songs don't really seem to interfere with the flow of the movie itself.

And then there's that Movie that I saw last week and i think I'm gonna 'remember' it for a long time. It's really unfortunate that My doctor is only Albert pinto and not Howard mierzwak! Wouldn't it be great to have those painful memories erased? Oh yeah, I am Talking about The Eternal Sunshine...... here. In fact, i'd even think of going a step further and be game for have some more fantastical memories implanted. (I wish)

For now though, it's back to the real world.

Do the Bartman

"No one is interested in my underpants".
Oh no, before you exercise the dirty side of your brains, let me dissappoint you by telling you that these are not my words but those of the good ol' prankster, The Bartman or Bart Simpson.
I simply love that kid. He'll give you his 'no nonsense' humor right in your face. So here some more of his all famous chalkboard writings that I just can't miss during the titles:

"I will not spank others"
"I will not expose the ignorance of the faculty"
"This punishment is not boring and pointless"
"I will not bury the new kid"
"A burp is not an answer" (My all time favourite, I must say)
"My homework was not stolen by a one-armed man"
"The Pledge of Allegiance does not end with "Hail Satan". "
"I will not Xerox my butt"
"I will not belch the National Anthem"
"I will not hide behind the Fifth Amendment"
"I will not torment the emotionally frail"

And lastly, but certainly not leastly "I will not do anything bad ever again"

Now you know why this brat just cracks me up!

Couch Potato Re Discovers India

One of the most pleasurable things to watch on TV is this entire range of travel shows that're on there. Have you seen The anchors on these shows? I mean, it's like having an all expenses paid holiday every single day you are at work. Utopia at work!(and we all shrugged it away as an imaginary concept)

Anyway, what I feel is that these shows always make a big deal when it's an episode based on India. As advanced as we are today, the world (read The west) still looks up to India as this totally spiritual or mystical land.So, it was a good change when I caught this travel show episode on Discovery Travel and Living where the anchor travelled to a host of places in India and they showed a totally new side of it. Of course, with the anchor being a Brit, there was the usual emphasis on historical sites, food and drinks (especially the spicy curry) etc. But then, in a totally surprising turn of events, she caught up with this bunch of teens at an uptown restaurant and was delighted to know that they worked for this international (Innernashional) call centre and even accompanied them for their late night / early morning Accent lessons. And boy was she impressed with the way these guys Rrolled their R's! Whoever devised this term....But I would have rather loved it if she'd have rolled her arse.So much for dedicated viewing.
