Watched an advertisement on TV with saif khan and rani mukherjee going mind blasting about 400 times. What on earth is mind blasting? I can understand mine blasting, which is why they shut a few iron ore sources down, I can comprehend mind blowing which we all do capice. With a little imagination I can figure out what mine blowing can mean and I think I like that concept. But what on earth is mind blasting. who got paid for coming up with that line. And in that list one could also add oye bubbly. There cannot be a more nauseating tag line. Even yeh dil maange more was better.
That minor catharisis apart, the times (the local one) has been coming up with interesting editorials. One about how blaming doctors for poor health care instead of a system which is inherently warped may not really help and another on the concept of wealth and an increased GDP actually tricking down to the poverty stricken masses. This of course would need to be streamlined in the years to come.
Then the paper ruins that little bit of hope by devoting space to a macaw that flew out of some pet shop in shivajinagar, for those of you who know it, well and good. Looks like the bird is back. For those of you who don't find safina plaza and turn in soon after that. look for a long closed live band/dance bar and focus on the shop next to it.
Saw a string quartet perform.... Quartor Neemrana. No havent even bothered looking up the name for an explanation. I understand one of the words which can mean anything from the minimum amout of chicken in empire and usually the amount of alcohol required to devour the bird in the shortest time. Nonetheless they played schubert. Brilliant stuff. They did this violin version of kaho no kaho, i will survive etc.
More on life later.
