Everything Clichéd

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.

2. It’s the thought that counts. (Ya rite)

Okay, now I may appear as slightly shallow here but really the above quote I think is nothing but a line of crap invented by those who are in all probability stingy buggers.

The deal is, if it’s birthday….especially if it’s my birthday I want more than your thoughts. I want to see your thought (hopefully a pleasant one) in action. I want a freaking gift.

3. Tip-Top 24/7

Mostly All Ekta Kapoor heroines (except Baa from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabh Bahu Thi) are decked up in every bloody frame. For example – They almost always wake up with their hair and makeup just right, as if they have just been to the salon. How come, well it totally beats me?

barrymore_l 4. Women in Horror films.

The equation here is fairly simple and it goes something like this,

Blonde Chicks + Horror Film = Must Die Bitch. (Applicable mostly in American flicks).

5. Cats are for Women & Dogs are for Men.

Utter bullshit. I am not fond of cats and I can never get enough of poochy-lovin.

fk 6. Historical Monuments and Bedroom Windows.

Again this is TV/Movie related but have you ever noticed how popular landmarks are so precisely visible from the hero/heroine’s bedroom. Examples,

The Statue of Liberty can be seen from any window of any building in New York. And the same goes for Eiffel Tower in Paris and Opera House in Sydney.

And last and absolutely the last,

7. Walk-Talk like a Man

Just because a woman is all tom-boyish this doesn’t make her a lesbian and vice-versa. I mean seriously, grow up people.

[Ps – just to set the record straight, regular posting shall resume from tomorrow.]

“The Statue of Liberty can be seen from any window of any building in New York. ”

That’s funny, do they show it clearly visible from the window? Actually, I’ve seen Liberty island from Goldman’s office, where the statue itself is quite small. And you really can’t go much closer than that from NYC. If the Statue of Liberty can be clearly seen, the episode was certainly shot in New Jersey ;)

Nice post, made me smile
and yes, even I have wondered how all the heroines [include baa here ... look closely she has very light make up on, lipistik!] are always “decked up” as you say.
Raat ko sone jaate hain to bhi jewelry pehenke, uthte hain to bhi hairdo intakt!

heheheh I’ve always wondered this too – Ekta Kapoor shits me yet i am continually fascinated and drawn to her warped storylines and of course – the fashion.

What is more weird than the heroines waking up with their makeup mystically done is why do people watch all these serials despite knowing it is “manufactured factory garbage”, so as to quote Eminem….

Yup there always has to be one dumb chick in every kind of horror film. Good stuff Sakshi, as usual.

About Ekta Kapoor’s shows, or any soap on hindi television, every family is well to do, dress designer wear, live in bungalows and seem to have spent millions on interior decoration. How many houses in Bombay actually look like that!

Nice, but aren’t most things in this life cliched. Even calling them cliches is a cliche

Its difficult to find a ‘hatke’ thought :)

the ghost/bhootni one and the statue of liberty/eiffel tower thing – totally agree with that one too.

As I noted earlier, black is new white for modern ghosts (at least in TV serials).

But a ghost(in?) wearing clothes designed by Govinda would be a real treat. Would you wear the famous newspaper dress?
