http://ashwiniyer.blogspot.com/2013/08/no-no-lungi-dance.html
Saturday, August 10, 2013. No No Lungi Dance". Further to my previous post. On the Chennai Express, I still fail to understand why SRK had to add a "Thalaiva tribute" at the very end. Is it because:. 1) The movie is named "Chennai Express"? 2) He is simply making fun of the Phenomenon? 3) This is actually an earnest tribute gone wrong? 4) None of the above. The song goes as follows:. Moochon ko round ghumaake" (Now, when did Rajini do that? That can be done by " Gaptane. Standard male south Indian name?

Saturday, May 15, 2010. Three types of people inhabit Gurgaon:. 1) The ones who work in the myriad DLF offices in Gurgaon, and for whom concerns merely involve managing traffic jams in their cars (NOTE: Motorcycles and Autorickshaws in Gurgaon are myths, which people may have used to lead you into a false sense of security. Don’t believe it). Anyways, some anecdotes from this place:. NOTE: Point 3 is not an anecdote, it is a tribute). As mentioned earlier, Gurgaon does have a water crisis, and, on a pers...

MY e-PENSIEVE: November 2014
http://ashwiniyer.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. A couple of mornings ago, I woke up to the social media platforms abuzz with the trends #264, #RoHIT etc. 264 runs in an ODI? Let's take no credit away from Rohit Sharma, who played some really good strokes, but (1) Robin Uthappa was only too willing to let him hog all the strike, and (2) You can't score so many runs without the bowling attack being downright pathetic. This is amazing. Despite 350 scores piled up with ease over the years, the bowlers being battered into sub...
