Junk!!

Urghhh!! I just hate junk mail. I remember the first time I got junk mail. I read '25 new mails' in my inbox. "Wow!" I thought, "I have so any friends and I am so popular!" I opened my inbox, and what I saw was mails from strangers with very strange names and even stranger subjects ranging from free printer ink to special offers to hardcore porn links!

No matter the number of filters, there is always some junk in my inbox. HELP!!




Lagaan for Oscars?

Aamir Khan's film Lagaan is India's entry for the Oscars this year. Great film, have seen it thrice and would love to watch it again. The performances are good, the music is fabulous, it's entertaining, what more could an avid movie fan want?

But when it comes to pleasing the rascist Americans, it stands nowhere. Which American, firstly, would understand cricket and gilli danda (I myself don't know what the latter is!). And then who would sit to watch a 45-minute cricket match between the British and Indian villagers? Indians would, perhaps the British wouldn't mind watching their team lose to a bunch of illiterate villagers, but what about the Americans which form the bulk of the Oscar jury? They would absolutely love Lagaan, if they knew the 'C' of Cricket.

Give it a thought.
