What's more territorial than a pride of lions?

A pair of a mother and daughter in law... :(

The Hangover...

It's just about the craziest movie you can imagine. One wild situation after another, just as you think it can't get any worse for these poor guys. Instant classic. I was chuckling or laughing right through. Very, very, funny movie. Don't miss it!

Terminator Salvation

My one sentence review... Not worth the effort. Sadly. They leave the franchise open for one FINAL film. Let's hope that one's better.

RIP MJ

I just cannot believe it. DANGEROUS was the first album I ever bought.. I was heartbroken when I lost it. It's been a while since he'd made music but I Don't think his songs will ever get old. Shock. The greatest performer of the 20th century and someone whose music i've grown up with.. is gone. :(

Ooooh my poor tummy! :(

Joe and I ate a great meal last night at Desi Vibes, a restaurant in sec 18, in Noida.
We started with the chef's special murgh akbari.. chicken breast stuffed with veggies and mild spices.
Then came the dal deara and rara murgh.. Delightful.. Just delightful..!
Trouble is, we were already quite full by the time we'd finished the starters.
But we'd been brought up well. Food must never go to waste (particularly food that tasted this good!)
So we soldiered on... And finished the meal after about an hour. As a result, we could barely move and just had to sit down for a while.
Then came the regulation jeera to help digestion. But our waiter sensed we'd need something much, much more powerful and so very generously provided us with hajmola digestive tablets.
Even that didn't help. I felt miserable going in to anchor this morning. My stomach was gurgling and bloated.
BUT it's the price you pay for a good meal! Desi Vibes... Highly reccomended if you're looking for good food but have the courage to down some seriously generous portions..

A horoscope for a very bitter person...

(According to this, I'm a pimp, my girlfriend is a whore, and my sister who just happens to be living in China, is 'nothing but a goddamn Communist').

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You have an inventive mind and are inclined to be progressive. You lie a great deal. On the other hand you are inclined to be careless and impractical, causing you to make the same mistakes repeatedly. Everyone thinks you are a jerk.


Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
You have a vivid imagination and often think you are being followed by the FBI or CIA. You have minor influence over your friends, and people resent you for flaunting your power. You lack confidence and are generally a coward. Pisces screw small animals and pick their noses.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
You are the pioneer type and hold most people in contempt. You are quick tempered, impatient, and scornful of advice. You are a pain in the butt.

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
You are practical and persistent. You have dogged determination and work like hell. Most people think you are stubborn and bullheaded. You are nothing but a goddamn communist.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are quick and intellectual, and are a thinker. People like you because you are a bisexual. However, you are inclined to expect too much for too little. This means you are a cheap bastard. Gemini's are notorious for thriving on incest.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You are sympathetic and understanding to other people's problems. They think you are a sucker. You are always putting things off. That is why you will always be on welfare and won't be worth shit. You are a butthead.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You consider yourself a born leader. Others think you are pushy. Most Leos are bullies. You are vain and cannot tolerate honest criticism. Your arrogance is disgusting. Leo people are thieving bastards and kiss mirrors a lot.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You are the logical type and hate disorder. This nit picking is sickening to your friends. You are cold and unemotional and often fall asleep while screwing. Virgos make good bus drivers and pimps.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are the artistic type and have a difficult time with reality. If you are a male, you are probably queer. Most Libra women are whores. They are known as the world's greatest liars, although they pretend innocence and lack of guilt. All Libras die of venereal disease.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are shrewd in business and cannot be trusted. You shall achieve the pinnacle of success because of your total lack of ethics. You are a perfect son-of-a-bitch. Most Scorpio people are murdered.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are optimistic and enthusiastic. You have a reckless tendency to rely on luck since you have no talent. The majority of Sagittarians are drunks and pot heads. People laugh at you a lot because you are always getting duped.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are conservative and afraid of taking risks. You are basically chicken. There has never been a Capricorn of any importance. You should kill yourself.

Uprooted... III

From india's refugee communities...

Uprooted..

Just had a heart-rending meeting with a palestinian refugee. His parents fled haifa after the 1948 arab israeli war and settled in baghdad. For nearly sixty years, they lived a life of relative ease - although without citizenship.
Then came the invasion. After saddam fell, the militia began to target palestinian refugees, whom they perceived as being outsiders who were favoured by saddam. Jamal, my interviewee, saw his eldest son kidnapped and returned only after paying them $10000.
He's now in india with his family, and says he has no home, no identity and no future. Now, he lives and struggles for resettlement only so that his wife and three sons may live in a safe country.
