Amitabh Bachchan's Blog

Amitabh Bachchan's Blog: http://blogs.bigadda.com/ab/

-

Today I read in the media that our dear Amitabh Bachchan is also blogging nowadays. He is blogging since April 17, 2008 - 10:39 am. So http://blogs.bigadda.com/ab/ is his blog and what I belive is he has created his own blog to let his views out to the people. He might have seen media distorting his views and thus a rift is being created between him and the people of our country. So through this blog, he can put forward his views clearly to the people.

I would like to Congratulate Bachchan-Sir for his new blog (if it is really his blog) and would like to wish his All the Best of Luck for his blogging life. He is a Great Man, with enormous talents. I salute him.

Still what I fear is soon our Khan Dada (SRK) is also going to start a blog of his own as he likes to see himself in the footsteps of Big B. I would love to read both their blogs in future.

Vaijayanta-logy Part 4

1) The more good person you are at heart, the more amount of pain you are bound to get from the people around you especially your near and dear ones.

2) Most of the Indian girls are constantly pressurised by their respective mothers to do things the way their mothers want.

3) If you talk to a any person (known or unknown) in a good manner, the person is bound to reply you back in a good way and vice versa. I can say this confidently from my own experiences.

Eden Gardens from my home terrace on the First IPL Match (without camera flash)

These are the views of Eden Gardens Kolkata Lights from my Home Terrace. It is amazing. I took the pictures today (on the 20th of APril, 2008) when Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders took on Hyderabad's Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders won the match. SRK was present on the ground when the snap was taken by me. Hope you like the snap. SRK (Khan Dada), Sourav Ganguly(Dada) and Kolkata Knight Riders ROCK !!! I want SRK to see this photo if he gets time from his busy schedule.

What? If …

What would happen if some of our famous films ended in a different way?
Hindi
· Kal Ho Na Ho – Suppose, SRK had faked his death in Kal Ho Na Ho. Actually he deliberately disappeared from the lives of Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan because he hated that Preity (the fat lady, who sucks) like anything. He might have gone to India and married the hot Sonali Bendre only to return after 25 years to see that Saif and Preity had a 24 year old girl child. Then he would have told them about his plot. LOL.

· Kuch Kuch Hota Hai – Suppose SRK at the end of the film confesses to Kajol that he realised after his marriage to Rani, that he was actually in love with Kajol and to get her back in his life, he had got Rani Mukherjee murdered by Salman Khan and for this he paid Salman Khan few crore rupees. He also made Salman woo Kajol back to his life and made him marry his daughter Anjali (that child actress) so that SRK and Kajol can life happily ever after. LOL.

· Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna – SRK was married to Preity and Abhishek was married to Rani. SRK falls in love with Rani and they get married. Abhishek also falls for Preity and again both get married. But no, they do not happily live ever after. They again feel for their original partners and again come back to them. Again after a year they feel for their fake partners and again go back to them. Then all the four sit in a round table conference with Karan Johar, Big-B and Kiron Kher as the jury members. Thus an agreement is signed where swapping of partners is made legal and a Rule is made where SRK and Preity can stay together and Abhishek and Rani can stay together for a year. Again in the next year SRK and Rani can stay together while Abhishek and Preity can stay together. Seeing the adultery of their children Big-B and Kiron Kher plans to stay together with SRK and Preity’s child by claiming the child as their own. They child seeing so much adultery in such a young age plans to marry the daughter of Big-B and Kiron Kher or the daughter of SRK-Rani or SRK-Preity or Abhishek-Rani or Abhishek-Preity which ever comes out first. Thus the child looses all his senses. LOL.

Bengali Year 1415 on 2008 - 2009

This Nabobarsho (Bengali Year 1415), we (Gaurav and me) had planned a long walk from my Home to Shyambazar. We did as planned. We started off from my home at 10.30am and as we walked through Amherst Street, Surjya Sen Street, Bankim Chatterjee Street and finally Bidhan Sarani. As we arrived at Bidhan Sarani, I took a snap of Presidency College Gate. After that as we walked towards Shyambazar, we took pictures of all the Heritage Buildings on that road (I am going to post these pics later here) like the existing portion of College Street Market, Lahabari, , Arya Samaj Hall, Hardinge Hall, House of Swami Vivekananda, Bethune College, Scottish Church School and many more.

There was a big mela (fair) going on at Beadon Street. We had a good time there at the mela. Again we took Bidhan Sarani and proceeded towards Shyambazar. At Hatibagan we took a snap of Star Theatre and I charged up myself with a Thumbs Up with Gaurav sitting idle because of his sore throat. At the Citi Mart, I bought myself a Bermuda short and Gaurav helped me with the payment as I was short of money. Finally we took a snap of the Shyambazar tram depot before taking two big snaps of Netaji on a horse at Shyambazar Crossing. With our long journey by walk coming to an end, we took a bus to Bank of India at 1.30pm.

That evening I sat idle before our television talking cute snaps of beauties on television. Mummy had gone to fetch Bui from her friend Gouri’s house and daddy had gone to give his tutorial classes. Mummy even treated us with momo and chow from Momo-Hut, Salt Lake for dinner. It was a wonderful Nabobarsho 2008 for me and was the best Nabobarsho till date. Shubho Nababarsho to You All.

Nano Effect

Question
By the way what is this Nano Effect?
Answer
It is a condition of Indian Roads where: -
1) Indian Roads filled with Nanos only Nanos. There is no space for any car to move.
2) Number of Nanos are more than number of Bicycles.
3) No place for pedestrians to walk as on the footpaths there are Nanos parked everywhere.
4) Every paanwala, coolie, sweeper owns a Nano each. They go to their work in the morning on a Nano.
5) Rich dads gift their 10 year old kids brand new Nanos on their birthday.

and many more ..........

Chow or Momo?

Today I asked a question in a forum at rediff.com: -
I said:
"My suggestion to all Indians: Between China and Tibet whichever country you support, you should do it based on their food. Which food do you like more? Chinese food or Tibetan food? Chinese food consists of Chow and Tibetan food consists of Momo. If you like Chow more then go for China and if you like Momo more go for Tibet. So you have the full right to choose between the two."

Answer I got from an individual called messengerfromHell:
"sorry . I select based on the babes . Chinese babes are stinky and not cooperative @ ...
Tibetian babes are very pious and down to earth .....and good @
.... I vote for Tibet ."

It became an issue after that and messengerfromHell was answerd by another individual called chetan kotur:
"how do u knw chinese babes are stnky and not cooperative??"

Again messengerfromHell answered:
"I think you are just born. When you are 21 i will tell you the place where to go and find out ..."

It stopped there. I thought it would go on and on but it did not. Thank God.

Stop Global Warming

I have just come across this website which says Stop Global Warming.
It gives us many tips to stop the phenomenon called Global Warming.
The site is http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/sgw_actionitems.asp (Read them here)

Out of the long lists 3 measures I can take from now on are: -
1) Plant more trees at our homes. As a tree gulps 1 ton of Carbon Dioxide in its lifetime.
2) Use fluroscent lamps rather than normal light bulbs. Thus Save 300 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $60 per year.
3) Shut off my computer when not in use, and save 200 lbs of C02

So what we can see that Carbon Dioxide is the main villain (just like Gabbar Singh) here in creating and increasing Global Warming.

Fun-jayanta 00001 - Some Jokes

1) What would you call the male version of Ma hi ma Chowdhury?
Ans) Baap - Hi - Baap Chowdhury

2) There was one politician who couldn't understand why every footballer was fighting for the same ball. So he suggested that every player be given a seperate ball for the match. LOL.

Sibkhali

Conductors of the local buses in Kolkata nowadays say “Chole ashun, chole ashun. Sibkhali, Sibkhali”. Initially I was very confused and thought. “Like New Town, is there a newly created place in Kolkata called Sibkhali?” I thought very profoundly, “Where can I find the place on the map of Kolkata. Even I thought the place might be somewhere in Bengal. I knew there was no such place in the Eastern part of India. So I tried to make a google search but I found nothing.

Later I found that every bus conductor shouts these few words at the top of their voices when the bus stops in any stoppage. Then I came to know that they actually say “Seat Khali” meaning “Seats are empty”. So the whole phrase means “Come on up. The seats are empty. Fill them up.” So from now on any bus that has empty seats in it must be called “Sibkhali”.

New Weekly Holidays at DBPC

Don Bosco Park Circus has changed its weekly holidays from Thursday and Sunday to Saturday and Sunday from this year. This is a matter of concern for the students who will have to drag themselves and their (tour luggage type) bags to school for 5 days at a stretch.

Previously the boys had to go to school from Monday to Wednesday. Thursday was a weekly holiday. Again Friday and Saturday was school days. Again Sunday was a holiday.

Students gained a lot from this technique. They did school for 3 days and then they would get Thursday to refresh themselves. Again they would go to school for the next 2 days and got the time on Sunday to refresh. The school rules have changed. Now they will have to drag to school for 5 days at a stretch and on Saturdays and Sundays they would refresh themselves so much that they would feel lazy to go to school on Monday.

So I would prefer the earlier rule to this new rule according to the famous proverb "Old is Gold".

April Fool To All

The statement that I had made last day was not true and was made keeping the April All Fool's Day in mind. I dont know how much I have been able to make fool of others. In the process if I had hurt someone then I am sorry for that.

While trying to make fool of others I have found that with such a prank I have succeeded in making a fool of myself.
