Part insanity and part boredom with a dash of (definite) entertainment, my dahlings I present to you my list of Clichéd quotes, beliefs and thoughts.

1. The color white & desi-bhootnis

So yesterday I was driving back with a couple of friends thru the dingy roads of Arey Milk Colony, when one friend started with how she & her friend (thought) saw a lady ghost one night while bike-riding via the very same route. And that’s when it struck me, even kinda annoyed – why the bloody hell all desi-bhootnis are observed wearing white color sari with gravity-defying hairdos? I mean really, don’t they want to stand out, at least in the afterworld. Or are they waiting for a Yash Raj film Holi/Rain dance moment.

Anyhoo, I have made up my mind, when I come back as a ghost (yes buddy, you can count on that) I will ONLY follow ex-Hero Number No. 1 aka. Govinda’s dressing code. Period.

What’s the best way to kill a man?

Put a naked woman and a six-pack in front of him. Then tell him to pick only one.

[And guess what? I totally agree.]

Cutting a long story short – I found Ashutosh Gowariker’s interpretation of a historical love story, Jodhaa Akbar, just to be an average Joe’s flick. Attention worthy only in certain bits and pieces otherwise a tad too boring and bloody hell too long.

On the positive side; the leading pair has given a decent performance and needless to say, Hrthik Roshan (despite the flaring nostrils) & Aishwarya Rai Bachchan both look nothing less than a priceless work of art.

For a detailed review, I recommend reading Meetu’s post on 2008’s first big budget Bollywood release.

Now moving on the lighter side; here are some (bizarre but related) thoughts which in many ways helped me stay glued to the cinema seat in the otherwise tiresome film.
