What is the biggest news today? Shah Rukh’s “My name is Khan” has been boycotted by some saffron wielding party. Mr. Khan never knew what he was getting into when he decided to air his views on Pakistani cricketers not bid for IPL or on the contrary, did he know? Was it planned?
However, the media is happy now. Its getting all that it needed, prime time hot selling news. NDTV leads the pack. Barkha Dutt milks SRK to come out the choicest of statements. Some of the famous ones being
- SRK: I am more Indian than Mumbaikaar
- SRK: I may not have the same ideologies as the Sena but on the question of me being a patriot, I don’t think there should be any confusion
- "Karan Johar tweeted, "Crisis can truly be an eye opener...you know who stand tall with you and realise those who don't...so much I have learnt today...miss my dad."
- Barkha Dutt: But why can't you take a political position?
- SRK: Because we can't. On a Thursday or a Wednesday political positioning is the weakest part of the film industry, principle is the weakest on these days and that is the truth and it does not make us cowards. Wednesday and Thursday is not the right time to tell me to be brave. Ask me on Monday I am very brave.It is day for the film release, it is the day for entertaining other people. Nobody is a coward in the film industry, whoever it is who has said what they have said. I thank them but nobody is coward...

Now what do you call this? How opportune a moment for these things to happen right when a movie of SRK is getting released?
Lessons learnt from this episode:
- How SRK’s daughter asked him that “should they be leaving India because of Shiv Sena”? and how he choked in front of the press- ( Milk the emotions of the Indian sentimental public.)
- How to ring a bell in NASDAQ? (What’s happening? When did film makers ring bells in Stock exchanges? Simple: if you can’t get Oscars, ring bells in NASDAQ, NASSCOM, NYSE, NASA……..)
- How to tweet on “Tolerance”? Ya, the new age Mahathma Gandhi roams around in huge Limos wearing Armanis, Tommy Hilfigers, Ray ban sunglasses, tissot watches and returns to Cliched Indian buzzwords of Tolerance, Nationalism, patriotism whenever his movie is due for a release.
- How to get the Bollywood back into limelight when its movies are bombing big time? You have “Amit ji” commenting on this “unfortunate” incidents. Soon to follow Akky bhai, Sallu bhai, “Padma Sri Saif Ali Khan”, The coffee boy ‘Karan Johar” and who can forget the hotties- Cool Kat, Hot Karrrreeennnnaaa, aging Kajol (I loved you Kajol, why are you doing this sob! Sob!), curvy Shilpa………
- Above all, how the hell do you get media to give free publicity for a movie that is “infinity%” sure to go bust at Box office? Reasons- Aging Kajol, The aging King Khan, an Indian movie set in America (what an irony? How can they do that? Simple- bring in the sentiment angle. Add lots and lots of tearjerker scenes in America. That’s Indian cinema. No!!!!! that is Karan Johar Cinema. He does it always, K3G, KANK!!!!). The most important reason that this movie will bomb in India is Karan Johar. So, if you can’t make money, how do you market it or distribute it? Simple, use the bollywood dialogues in real life and feed the publicity crazy media. Now, if that is not enough, there is the Saffron party which is the easiest bait. As always, they are ready to pounce on silliest of things when there are people in Mumbai dying in slums due to goondaism, hunger, diseases, poor parents unable to feed their kids or finance education.
So boyfriends, girlfriends and others, the above is a very important lesson for your life just in case some of your become star actors and actresses.
That again has become a remote possibility now with actor families ruling filmdoms be it Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood, Jollywood, behind the wood, woodpecker, woody allen, Touchwood, …..
Oh sorry I got deviated by the wood.
Anyways, What am I doing thinking off all this? Let me get back to my world of sql queries, server restarts, database refresh, P2 ticket, Appraisal, Change request…….. That doesn’t appeal to me either.

Dude,
How are you doing? I know you are enjoying out there with all those Menakas, Urvashis and all. You know what? The world has gone to dogs and you better send in an Avataar of yours before people mistake James Cameroon’s Avataar as your next Avataar. This time be quick and swift in your action rather than spending time with gopikas or spending time in forests.
Most importantly, since and if you will be visiting earth for sometime, I am sure there will be a vacancy created. So, let me in there, till the time your work is over. It’s been a long time since I had a vacation and I am too afraid to go to any of the getaways here for fear of those Pak militants blowing away the place where I go to. Moreover, with rising inflation and my company not giving enough money, I am not able to afford any of the places out here. Anyways, I don’t even have a girlfriend who would pester me to go for holidays.
So what do you think?
Yours faithfully, truthfully, thankfully, loyally, devotedly, truly, Bruce Lee,
