A lovely line from the movie 'Dor'

सोचता था भगवान ने तुझे बनाया क्यूँ कर, अब तो बस शुक्रिया अदा करता रहता हूँ उसका

What camera do you use?


This one is dedicated to all my photographer friends ...

A photographer was displaying his pictures to his friends when a lady friend asked him "What camera do you use?". The photographer said, call me for dinner and I'll let you in on my secret. The curious friend immediately agreed to the deal, considering the small price for his curiosity and the photographer' secret. On the agreed date the photographer went over for the meal. He generously appreciated the food to be very tasty and delicious. Then he followed-up with a question to this lady "What cooker do you use?". Thus he answered with a witty question back to the curious fan.

It's like asking Federer or Nadal about the make and model of their tennis racquets OR asking Beckham about the shoes he wears ...

I know we all are tempted by such stupid ice-breakers but it is such a cliche. I should confess here, I am guilty too of this very crime. Inquiring people's intent of visiting a restaurant or a hospital when we meet them all of a sudden, despite the very obvious answer mocking in our faces. Anyways, some of them can be forgiven - the rest become a good joke for others ... ;-)

I hope this will leave a smile or a smirk on your face, the next time you hear this question. :D

Satyamev Jayate - Thank you Aamir !

Thank you Aamir Khan for coming up with 'Satyamev Jayate' ! We know your public appearance is very rare but always worth the wait! Watched the first episode of Satyamev Jayate on Star TV today and the respect for you has more than doubled. Like the straight, direct and to-the-point approach on a such an important social topic for our country. As always and as expected you are a perfectionist and  true intellect in the every sense.

Thanks for NOT putting us through another game or music show wasting an hour of our beloved Sunday mornings, instead giving us the worth of our time with a reality show in the true sense.
Thanks for NOT endorsing brands that you personally do not believe.
Thanks for NOT making formula movies that you personally would not watch. For focusing on quality, not quantity. We eagerly wait through years for your film to be released as they are always worth it.
Thanks for believing in the maturity of your audience and NOT selling any masala.
Thanks for taking a candid stance on a controversial issue and hitting in hard - right on spot. Most importantly being factual about it, being balanced in your opinion on this hard-hitting reality.
Thanks for using your celebrity status and access to millions of hearts for a social responsibility, not just commercial success.
Thanks for once again showing that you are a true Indian before everything else.

The list just goes on and on and on ...

Love you, God bless you. Sunday mornings are dedicated to you ...

Keep on making us proud ...
