With the first post in my column, I would like to start with news from back home (India)
There are always two B’s making up the news mostly, (other than the Big B) and they are Bollywood and Bihar. Though the order is not the same! And order is usually missing in both of these!
To start with, let’s go alphabetically. So first comes Bihar. There is a case reported in here http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/feb/02bihar.htm The title says “Hundreds of law students in Bihar went on the rampage on Saturday after being denied the use of unfair means in their law examination”. Students demanded their RIGHT to cheat in the examinations as it is a very common practice in Bihar and as the students put it forward, they weren’t taught anything in the class to help them take the exam. These students talking about rights, rights and wrongs are law students. ! I don’t think we have a law against cheating in the exams, but if these students are persistent, we might have a law against not cheating!! So don’t be surprised if in future someone files a case against you because you did not appreciate the urgency and need of cheating and you did not cheat.
Now if this piece has put you in dizzy..then here is the next one from Bollywood. Himesh Reshamiya is now starring in a movie (NOT AGAIN!!!), one of its kind as far as the title is concerned. The movie is called KarZZZZ !! No its not my keyboard pressed for long but the movie’s title actually has 4 Zs. This movie is a remake of the old Hindi blockbuster Karz, and Himesh Reshamiya is going to play the role of Monty, played by Rishi Kapoor in the original version. Now after HR’s performance (shocking..in some way) in “Aap Ka Surroor: The Moviee: The Real Luv Story“, well I would not comment on his acting skills as I don’t know what to say! But the big thing is that he also wants to sing all the songs by HIMSELF! Now he wants to be known as a singer who cannot act and an actor who cannot sing too!
With no offense to anyone, I just have to say one thing, we all should realize that Himesh Reshamiya is a (atleast) good music director, Sonu Nigam is a very good singer and Ajay Jadeja was a better cricketor!
PS : If you are a HR fan, apologies to you, and to HR too. I hope you get a free ticket to his movie moviee.
