The truth behind Reality Shows ...or is it ?

5 min ago, a friend and I were discussing reality shows - and he suddenly said that Ms. Palak of MTV Roadies fame, was actually an actress ...who had appeared in Singh is King !

Curiosity got the better of me, and I went to youtube to check this out -

Indeed - he was right !

and then of course google threw up the following result -

Funnier reading was the so called great Mr Raghu's statement that it did not make any difference to him or the show...

Isn't that a little weird ?? Shouldn't the participant have been checked for any previous acting experience or appearance on TV ? Why was this conveniently overlooked ?

Perhaps, reality TV is not so real after all - sorry Dezadd !

Speechless !

A random thought occurs...let me compile a list of quotes from the news, which would leave one speechless..

Today's quote is from IBN Live -

"Close terror cells in India: Pakistan parliament" -

Tell Me How...

Tell me how I should say it..

how do I make you understand..

You are the one, the only one..

That's the truth, and so let it be..


Why do I feel about you, the way I do..

Is something that I really don't know...

Perhaps, I like it when you smile..
..because I'd do things that would make you...
and feel happy about it in turn...

Perhaps its because I care about you, and
would hate to see you hurt..

Perhaps I want to protect you from this big bad world...
.......
.......

Perhaps its all of these...and some more..


Perhaps its love..maybe that's why...


Love is not what the movies may show..

It is not what the novels may write..

It is a feeling that no one can describe..

A mix of feeling complete..happy..content and at peace
with the world...

or... maybe... none of these...


This is all that I had to say...


...I Still don't how to tell you...

Let's hope things remain that way...

The Pulp Fiction dialogue...

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Museebatein Bata kar nahi aati...

A tongue in cheek look at an ad for an insurance company ..

1. Opening scenes establish that the lady of the house entering home sweet home, post a shopping expedition.

2. The lady calls out for her husband..and starts to panic when there's no response..(she has already confirmed his presence with the domestic help)

3. Lady walks out to see the husband sprawled on a deck chair...

4. Cut to lady---shocked expression --thinks that the worst has happened...

5. She walks up to the man, puts her hand on his shoulder-- VO says "Museebatein bata kar nahi aati" and the man wakes up startled from his sleep !! Truly..this Museebat did not inform him before she came [:D].
