Gurbani Gurbani
December 22, 2006
Last week while browsing thru the TV channels I happened to halt at MTV with ‘RODIES 4′ playing on it. I somehow usually never bothered even to check what the show is about, but that day there was nothing else worth watching and so I stuck on to the show.
This show isn’t much different from the many other reality shows aired these days. But I found that it was one participant who was making this otherwise usual reality-game-show interesting. It was Gurbani Judge aka Bani, a really ‘Hattke’ gal from Chandigarh.
She with her ‘Don’t mess with me’ attitude makes you either go crazy about this 19 year old or hating her especially if you are a female (All females in the show hates her). She is less feminine by her attitude but surely not by her looks. I was greatly attracted to this girl, may be her attitude does the magic.
Attraction apart, it would surely be a bit difficult to always have her attitude around. I mean in real life having a Girl friend with such ‘wonderful’ attitude might be,just a bit diificult. BUT why bother when I am at a safe distance from the TV and can change the channel whenever I want to. As long as she is within the walls of my Idiot Box, I love this girl and would feast on her attitude and equally gorgeous eyes.
Say whatever, the fact is GurBani is ‘DIFFERENT’ and has got the charm.
She surely is the show and would end-up winning the game. And I believe the MTV guys have already taken note of this lady and maybe she could be the next host for Rodies 5.

I have been getting Max hit for this perticular blog about Bani.
The Rodies 4 has finally come to an end with Anthony being declared the winner and Bani the runner up.If the entire show is ’scripted’ like the WWF,as some claim,hats off to the script writer.Atleast its better than some of our bollywood movies these days.
I don’t mind admitting that I have been taken over by the show and that when I saw the finals, wished Bani and Anthony were together rest of thier life.From what was shown on the show ,they are made for each other,they actually seem to complete each other.It may sound like wishing ‘Raj’ and ‘Simran’ (DDLJ yaar) to have twins………..
Here are few links to the Rodies 4 vedios:

Media Power !!!!
December 21, 2006
Finally the verdict given-Manu sharma found guilty of murder and has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Delhi high court for the murder of Model Jessica Lal in 1999.
This was a case that explained me the meaning of stuffs like ‘Power of Media’ or ‘The Public Opinion’.This was a case in which Manu sharma and others were earlier acquitted due to lack of evidence. It was luckily also the time when the competition between the English-news-channel giants CNN-IBN and NDTV was heating up. And with this acquittal making news, the channels, with what ever the intentions, took upon themselves the responsibility to generate public opinion against the Verdict.
And with the cultism of ‘Rang De Basanti’ still in the air, Candle marches, Signature & SMS campaigns were organized. Even I persuaded many of my friends and relations to join the SMS campaign. Though there were some articles written about the kind of money these channels along with the mobile operator were reaping, these did have their effect of successfully coercing the Delhi Police to appeal against the acquittal. And maintained the heat until the justice was finally done.
Whatever was the real intend of the media it did wonders in re-establishing peoples faith in Justice. Finally we have something look with hope when except the doors to god everything else seems closed.
This would surely mark a refreshing change in the Indian temperament, with media attaining the power it never had in the history of Independent India!!!!
Ahista Ahista
December 11, 2006
This weekend I happened to watch the Abhay Deol starrer ‘Ahista Ahista’. I always wanted to see the movie ever since I read about it somewhere. I somehow felt the movie would be a well made one, something I even felt for ‘Chori Chori’ & ‘Mai Aisa Hi Hoon’, though both bombed at box-office, were nice movies. Ahista Ahista is a movie by a Gods-own-Director Shivam Nair. Though its nothing path-breaking nor the theme novel, its treatment has been nice. The characters are down to earth and viewers could relate with them. Abhay Deol has done a decent job within the limitations of the Character.
After seeing the movie I searched the net for the reviews on the movie, but was shocked to see that the ‘great critics’ have rated it one. But felt relieved that at least the people who commented about the articles felt the other way. The film did bomb at the box-office, but that’s no measure of a movie bozo films like ‘Don’ & ‘Dhoom2′ do well at the Indian box-office where as the movies like ‘AA’,”CC’ & MAHH -gud movies with less know stars – bomb.
The tastes of people would change for sure, but may be ‘Ahista Ahista’
Ustad & the Divas
December 1, 2006
These days they are airing ‘Leja Leja’ From Ustad & the Divas album on the MTV
The video has a interesting theme.It has been well choreographed and enacted. Though a mushy stuff it looks nice and syncs well with the song.
That’s all for the appreciation for the video that made me droop the remote for some time.
Today found lady P’s scrap informing me of her wedding. This was a one of my childhood crushes (-That reminds me another of my child crush is also getting married soon, “God!! Am I lucky or what!!”) .It would date back to the start of 90’s.
She was a pretty little girl from Kerala , settled in Vizag then. And I was as good as am now and that makes me lousy with girls. Though I looked damm gud (tats self hypnotism…its makes u confident) but it somehow didn’t attract the female species.
So as a matured person (yes!! at the age of 10…it even surprises me at times) I realized that it was not my age to bother abt attracting girls and decided to keep it for my ‘later years’.
And now I never even bother think wat happened in the ‘ Latter Years’
My case can be titled ‘Ustad & the Divas’ ,the only thing is that The Ustad knew the Divas but Divas never knew who the ustad was.
Jumping back to the present:
I got her number from Siva and called to congratulate her on the find of her life.
She was nice and spoke well. We spoke for about 8 min (that’s a pretty long time considering my standard)
I enquired abt her’s and she abt my family and other usual conversation stuff. Though she was one who suggested ending the conversation. It was altogether nice. Although it didn’t generate in me the so-called ‘NOSTALGIC ENZYMES’ when I was in conversation with her, it did make me feel good.
