“When I find myself in times of trouble
Dr Sayani comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be.”
If you ever need to go to a medical website, then Dr Sayani’s supersite is IT.
With a very simple motto ” Man Attempts God Heals” (the subtext being that Dr Sayani is God) , Dr Sayani can cure anything with his deadly combination of faith and homeopathy.

At Beeston’s Cross Flats Park, in the center of this now embattled town, Sanjay Dutt and his friends grappled Friday with why their friend Kakey, better known to the world as Shehzad Tanweer, had decided to become a suicide bomber.He was sick of it all, all the injustice and the way the world is going about it,” Mr. Dutt, 22, said. “Why, for example, don’t they ever take a moment of silence for all the Iraqi kids who die?”It’s a double standard, that’s why,” answered a friend, who called himself Shahroukh, also 22, wearing a baseball cap and basketball jersey, sitting nearby. “I don’t approve of what he did, but I understand it. You get driven to something like this, it doesn’t just happen.”
…
Now what are the odds of an young Muslim having the real name of “Sanjay Dutt”? And the odds of his friend having the name “Shahrukh” ? Not that their real names are dreadfully important, but I could not resist a chuckle as to how they duped the NYT reporter.

Salman Khan is a very simple man. His outlook on life is governed by this pseudo- code.

The National Awards used to be the only awards that recognized cinematic excellence in India. It also took cognizance of the fact that Indian movies are not all Bollywood and that the most successful movie of the year is not necessarily the best (usually almost never the best). That it was jury-based also made it more creditable than any of the other “popular award” tamashas like “Filmfare Awards” and all its myriad wannabes where votes could be bought by buying enough magazines or by linking your appearance at the award show with an “award” .
(Gossip goes that Anil Kapoor once bought a huge number of copies of Filmfare and sent in all the coupons with the most hirsute man in Bollywood (ie himself) as the people’s choice for Best Actor!)
Telegraph India came up with a list of Calcutta bloggers. And if any sign is needed that Calcutta is becoming cosmopolitan then it is this. A blogger whose moniker is “Greatbong” is nowhere on that list.
It may also be a sign that I dont make the cut. Qualitywise.
Here’s my official stance.
I blog because I love to. I dont care if anyone reads this blog. Dont care for comments. Dont care for readers.
Now here’s the truth.
I blog because I love to write. However I also care about whether people read my blog and whether they comment on my posts.
