Statutory WARNING: High Satire content


Ever wonder what kumar gaurav is doing now..? and where on earth is shakti kapoor..?? well today i shall take a dab at our forgotten celebrities (when they were celebrated) and what we can learn from them.. ya we can learn from everyone, including rabri devi..

what lessons did we learn..?

Forgotten Celeb 1

Vinod Kambli : Never cry in public , especially if you remove your helmet to reveal diamond studded earrings and a punk style bandana.. it gives an impression that you are crying because you will no longer be able to make money to embellish yourself!

Forgotten Celeb 2

Shakti Kapoor: Naughty boy.. Naughty boy, be a fatherly figure to your juniors... not a father to their offspring..

Forgotten Celeb 3

Rabri Devi: It does not hinder the process of running a state if you call up your husband in the middle of a meeting and ask how is the 3rd calf of the 4th cow doing..?!

Forgotten Celeb 4
Manisha koirala : who..?

Forgotten Celeb 5
Abdul Kareem Telgi: well some might argue when did he become a celebrity.. but there was a time when he figured on the main page of 95% of the dailies 86% of the time, and the lesson to be learnt is, you can earn a lot of fame by just saying "There are a lot of BIG people involved with me" even if they aren't.

Forgotten Celeb 6
Lakshmipathy Balaji: you can succeed at the highest level if you have a good smile (smile even if the batsmen whacks u for a 6!) and doesn't matter if you can't bowl properly..

Forgotten Celeb 7
Atal Behari Vajpayee: you can be a good speaker even if the gap between successive words that you speak is 43.6 seconds..


Forgotten Celeb 8
Abhijeet Sawant: you can earn an entry in Oxford dictionary's next edition by singing ONE song for all concerts/occassions
AbhijeetSawant: [Abhee jeeth-saw ant]
-noun
1.) to be a one song wonder
2.) to sing "Mohabbatein lutaunga" for every ocassion

Forgotten Celeb 9
Narain Karthikeyan: Having a 'Speed' logo on your car need not translate to pace on the circuit.! ayyo coimbatore macha.. watchout he will be back (no you silly, not at the back of the starting grid.! )

The Reluctant lyricist - chronicles of the Insane..

After a self imposed hiatus due to my inability to maintain a work life balance , i am back to doing wat i really like.. writing crap and spamming ppl's mailboxes to read it :) So here i am being a reluctant lyricist to satisfy the gulzar in me... Apart from a few aberrations like himesh reshamiyya, altaf raja, anu malik (non-filmi) and their kin.. hindi music has been pretty enjoyable over the last few decades.. well that just made me sound like someone who has been listening to hindi music since the 1970's .. but my knowledge is limited to as i said the blips in the last 10 years or so. I was just thinking if i can dwell on some hindi songs with a twist .. the twist being the added knowledge about good old hyderabadi lingo :) as navjot sidhu would say, u can remove anup from hyderabad.. but u can't remove hyderabad from anup ..! (sigh) Following is a refresher course on commonly used/abused words in hyderabad and their marriage with some chart busters wherever i can.

Mera Bharat MyHorn..!!

Just when you thought i disappeared from the face of the most populous city of the second most populous country of the most populated planet... here i am.. back to college after a 2 month ' weight loss ' program called summer internship! ( 4hrs of traveling in the sweltering heat and you d agree with me) Being one of the lucky ones to have been to 5 of the 6 metros (Somehow never got a chance to go to BANDHladesh ... Kolkata for the uninitiated) i thought it would be fun to compare the road manners across the ones ive have lived in sufficiently and have had the privilege to experience : Hyderabad, Bengalooru and Mumbai . Congestion on roads is a common thread that connects all these cities.. but all the misery is to end soon .. what with the Bengalooru,Hyderabad and Mumbai metros coming up within no time.. just another 11-13 yrs ! But you never know.. the mumbai metro with a super charged Anil Ambani could be completed a few days before schedule and may be we can have

Suhaana Suffer..!!

Traveling in Mumbai is an art .. err.. i think its a science .People who think its an art just sit back and admire the maddening crowd getting in and out of the trains and buses... while those who think its a science.. do what science endorses.. experiment .! There might have been around 1,85,678 documented past experiences of people's travails in local trains.. but i would want to focus on the lesser of the two evils.. the BEAST .. oh sorry, BEST buses. Although i would suggest that, if you are having a perfectly fine day and just for the heck of it want to experiment with how unforgiving life can be.. then just try getting into a Churchgate-Virar Fast local at DADAR at 5.56 pm. on a weekday . It will be enough pain,suffering and inspiration to write a book on the theme " My last few hours.. and how i was reborn ". Coming back to the task i set upon doing.. the journey in BEST buses.. hmm, well first things first. I have to admire the whole system and network of
