After we covered the assets of Celina Jaitley and Dia Mirza, we did the natural thing.

We wondered, why Rakhi Sawant rolled her 'arse'?

After much investigation, we find it's...

...because her American accent trainer told her to roll her 'R's.

Well, can't blame her for trying to improve! We wish her all the best.

What did they call the nymphomaniac banker?

They called her a f---'ING Veshya'.

Heh! like she cares. She is out there selling selling herself to the bidders. TCS, Wipro, Infy, Capgemini are all in the race. And she seems to have an eye for wealthy Indians too.

I am a fan of Amul, as are most of us here. They have this way of coming up with deliciously funny hoardings, they call topicals.

Acting how he does, Sreesanth was bound to get some screen time from them.




After praising his dancing skills (after the six against South Africa)...









...Amul now, tells him to stay calm!





Though many would agree with Amul, they would also accept that this report goes over the top(much like Sree himself), when it says this!

"If Andrew Symonds wasn't such a gentle fellow, India's Shanthakumaran Sreesanth's nose would probably be plastered all over his leering face.

The Hindu and occasionally Christian bowler can thank all his gods that the secular Queenslander is a man of peace and tranquility."

We are a nation of voyeurs. Even so, I never saw India as a place where sexual pleasures were to be found in abundance. Though this could just be the South Indian me, I have my doubts.

Things being as they are, it was natural for me to do what I did when I saw this report. Elbow propped on the table, eyes near the screen, hand on the mouse. Tears of joy streamed down my cheeks as I marveled at how much we Indians have developed in the field of physical intimacies. I heard my notions of Indian sex take a long fall. Thud. Music to my ears.

But such delight was short lived. Of course, such reports are to be enjoyed, never to be taken seriously. Much like ‘Aap Ka Surroor : The Moviee : The Real Luv Story’. Once you leave all logic behind you will revel in the absolute lack of semblance to the real world. Sadly though, you always come back to your senses.

While many would try to tell you about how we are rediscovering the ancient Indian art of being comfortable with their sexuality and with their partners. Let them not fool you. Smallsquirrel(depressing) and GreatBong(more entertainingly so) will tell you the real story.

The report, judging by the usual Indian respect for surveys, must have been a very jolly affair.

“Arey. Tere sirf 2 hi lovers hain. Hah! Mere to 28 hai.[You’ve got only 2 lovers. Hah! I’ve got 28]”

Chuckling within, he writes 34. The other one meanwhile takes sweet revenge as he writes down ‘69’ with vengeance, smiling at his own private joke. Such is life.

Now, as much as you would want me to go on, I have to stop. I can’t go on much longer with all these girls pulling at me, you know. Monica, Pavlina… here I come. And you too Riya..

Update: Sepiamutiny has its say.

James W. Michaels was one of the senior most journalists in the business. After a US Army stint in the second world war, he set up the New Delhi bureau of United Press Intl. Following which he moved on to Forbes, where he stayed on for 45 years.

He was the first to report on the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. This is ranked among the top 100 greatest news reports of all time. He passed away on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti.

In this interview with Outlook(2001) he spoke on India.

About the growth of India so far, which by what he says, was unexpected for many. -

"...I think most of us who were observing it then thought the country would break up, and that parts of it might revert to some kind of totalitarian rule. But out of that has developed a functioning democracy, a country that has had good economic growth—though not as good as one would have liked—and it takes its place among the leading nations of the world. So that's not bad, considering the inauspicious beginnings."

What is to be noted, though, is what he says about Nehruvian Socialism, which pretty much defined the way our economy behaved until recent times. Only after the 1991 reforms did things even begin to look up.

"...Nehru, though we loved him and admired him at the time, was probably the worst disaster to ever hit India, at least in economic terms. (In India Unbound, by Gurcharan Das), it's said that Nehru was basically a Brahmin snob, and he did not like business people. Instead of the government getting out of the way and letting the market allocate business resources, the government did it. And the result was an incredible waste of resources.The way to fight poverty is not by chopping the pie in smaller pieces but figuring out how to make a bigger pie." [Emphasis mine]

The government still gets in the way and the bigger pie many times never makes it to the oven. Thanks to the regulations.

"...what would've happened if Nehru hadn't been affected with this socialism. Rajagopalachari didn't want the government to get involved (with the economy), he thought the American model was right for India. And Sardar Patel also did not want all this socialism. But south India got marginalised in the early days. So Nehru did whatever he wanted."

After all these years, we still haven't learned enough.
