[This is really weird. I have received at least 2 emails which have informed me that my old post 1 900 Hotties gives a 404 error. What makes it weird is that I can see it perfectly fine (and no not from the cache). I have no idea why this is so. So, I repost my ” 1 900 Hotties”— hoping sincerely that it is not the content that is making browsers misbehave.]

It’s all about finding the right word.
When your clothes comes off, intentionally or unintentionally in a public place, it is called “wardrobe malfunction” as if your wardrobe is an I-Pod whose electronics just happened to short itself.
When you have to lie through your teeth to sell your product, it’s not called chicanery any more—the term of choice is “creative marketing”.
I am sorry I should not have used the word “lying”. I meant “liberal with the truth”.
And when the fact that your original work of fiction is not as original as you claim it to be is exposed to the world, it is not called plagiarism now-a-days. Oh no.
It’s “internalizing”.

Times like these I am glad I am a single child.
As reported briefly elsewhere, the team of Anyesha and moi won first prize for quiz as well as antakshari [basically a music quiz] at Sparsh, 2006.
Besides the sheer rush of participating (and winning let me add) two of my favourite events after quite some time, what made it doubly fun was the drive back home when memories of fests and culturals from days gone by came flooding back like the tunes of a long-forgotten song.
Many many years hence…
Spontaneous displays of grief were witnessed out all over the city as the death of Imran Kissme, the doyen of Hindi movies, was announced on TV India. At 12:00 midnight, Dr. Rekha Sexena (who this correspondent has gathered has been having a hot affair with her gardener for a year now), chief medical officer at the private hospital he had been admitted to for lip-reconstruction surgery, announced to the assembled press that Mr Kissme passed away peacefully in his sleep of causes unknown.
