Speak up - Its in your DNA

Recently I had noticed a number of posters in the city - there were photographs of people whose mouths had been covered with a grey tape. Something to the effect of restricting what they wanted to say. It was a curious sight for quite a few days. But recently they've removed the tape from their mouths and it seems that they have something or the other witty to say. The ad is actually of a newspaper (I guess) called DNA - Daily News and Analysis. It has the tagline 'Speak up, its in your DNA'. It is from the Zee-Bhaskar group and I've heard that they've already got involved with the Times - Maharashtra Times group regarding some legal action.
Anyways some of the comments are quite interesting, including my favourite - There's this man who has an uncanny resemblance to the singer Sting who cheekily proclaims "What is BMC always digging for? Gold? Oil? Fun?", and another - an old lady who looks like the headmistress of some school saying, "I want to meet Shakti Kapoor" , probably to give him a hiding. And just today morning I saw the one with an old man, retired, saying "Bring back Negar Khan."

Forgettable experience

Well, as usual we were getting bored sitting at home on the weekend (with the landlady pestering us all the time). So we made a plan to go for some movie at some place where it was cheap. The problem was that last week there wasn't any good movie showing. Also the usual problem of agreeing on which movie to see. As I said they were no good movies on and I don't know what made us select this movie.
well, if u bothered to click on the link and see which was it, u must have groaned and recognized the movie. It was one of the tackiest and sickest (if there is such a word) movies I've ever seen. No story, no talent, no nothing. It was as a famous movie critic said 'a soft-porn'. What was the director thinking while making such a movie? And the tagline proudly proclaims, 'The shocking reality of the casting couch.' There was hardly any reference to the casting couch episode except a badly inserted part which was probably done as an afterthought.
We walked out halfway from the disgustingly boring movie. Should have rather stayed at home and watched something on TV. Jo ho gaya so ho gaya (What has happened, has happened), but that'll teach me not to go watch such a movie again, ever.
But then after the movie, we caught a train to Marine Lines, and then sat for sometime on the famous Marine Drive walkway. We were hoping to see the sunset but it didn't seem to come down at all. Tired of waiting for the sun to take a dip in the ocean, we walked to Churchgate and then to the Fort area to browse through the famous book stalls lining the footpath there. Bought The FountainHead for a cheap 70 bucks. But already there's a waiting list for me to read.

The Positive Approach

"You are made of love; when your thoughts are judgmental and resisting what is, then you can recognize that is not the real you. So my advice is: if it's not love, STOP, gather yourself in the moment and reconsider."

This is one of the interesting lines I came across in this wonderful ebook by Peter Shepherd, called "The Positive Approach". It can be download from
The Positive Approach. Whenever u get a chance, do read this book.
