I've been reading the last two pages of Mumbai Mirror since years now. It has a particular section titled, 'Line Maaro', which features pick up lines which supposedly boys can use if they want to strike a conversation with a girl, or if they want to impress her!
I find it really weird! I almost laugh when I read such cheesy lines. Do the publishers and editors think someone will seriously use those lines to impress someone?
Some of the worst ones I remember are...
1. Is your father a terrorist? Cause you're a Bomb!
2. You look like my 2nd Wife! Girl: How many do you have? Guy: 1!
3. Are you lost? Girl: Why? Guy: Coz heaven's a long way from here.
4. Guy: Can I have a coin? Girl: Yes, but why? Guy: Cause I wanna call my mum and tell her that I found the girl of my dreams.
5. Is your dad the owner of Cadbury? You're too sweet.
6. How was heaven when you left it?
7. Is there an airport near by or is that my heart taking off?
8. So, how does it feel to be the prettiest girl in this room?
9. Would you touch me, so that I can tell my friends that I've been touched by an Angel?
10. Are you religious? Cause you're the answer to all my prayers! [What the hell! Doesn't even make sense!]
The above list is my Top 10 List of WORST Pick Up Lines Ever! :P

Beera..... Mora Piya!
Heard two excellent tracks after long!!
The first one from the movie Raavan... by none other than Music Maestro A.R RAHMAN! I bow to him! It is typical Rahman-Mani Ratnam combo... and it's a deadly combo! I loved the rhythm of Beera. The chords are wonderful.. the music arrangement is fantastic! A tribal feel with a touch of accompaniment when the chords change, in the background, is worth listening to over and over again...
The second track is from the movie Rajneeti. It's Mora Piya. Well, the best part about this track is that when I heard it for the first time, I was sitting in a different room, while the song was being played in the Hall. In an instant, the DRUM ROLL in the first line of the song caught my attention. I was sure, none other than a Drum expert could do this. I was right! The composer of the song is Aadesh Srivastava, one of the greatest drummers ever born! What a classical piece of vocal music combined with Baap beats!
I'm in love with both the songs! Finally, two good songs.. after a LONGGGG time!

The Best of Murphy's!
My favourite Murphy's laws.. and also the ones which are most common in real life...
Being a student... I think, I'll start with the school laws first...
1. The clock in the instructor's room will be wrong.
2. The time a teacher takes in explaining is inversely proportional to the information retained by students. [Psychology lectures... Amrita Ma'am!]
3. New students come from schools that do not teach anything.
4. Clocks will run more quickly during free time.
5. If the course you wanted most has room for "n" students, you will be the "n+1" to apply.
6. At the end of the semester you will recall having enrolled in a course at the beginning of the semester--and never attending. [Computer in Sem 1!]
7. Pocket calculator batteries that have lasted all semester will fail during the math final.
8. No matter how much you study for a test you will be asked a question that you don't know.
9. Notes written in class are hieroglyphics at home
10. If you study hard for that important examination, the setters will decide to change the focus of the exam to one that is 'thinking-based' and 'analytical'.
Corollary: If you memorized information, it will be useless.
11. If you don't study for that important examination, the paper will be content-based.
Corollary: If you don't study, every question will appear to be something you remember reading on your textbooks from a month ago, hence will appear (deceptively of course) easy, although you will not recall the exact phrasing of an answer.
12. When you have worked out something intelligently, your classmates would have worked it out before you and in a better way
LOVE LAWS: Some of the cool ones...
1. If you think a girl is beautiful, her boyfriend will always be there to confirm it.
2. Brains x Beauty x Availability = Constant.
This constant is always zero.
3. All the good ones are always taken!
Corollary: If the person isn't taken, there's a reason.
4. The amount of love someone feels for you is inversely proportional to how much you love them.
5. Love your neighbour, but don't get caught.
6. Love makes believers of us all.
Translation: Love obscures common sense.
7. The uglier the girl the closer she lives.
8. If you are interested in someone, a close friend will grab their attention.
This is especially likely if they:
A.) Don't want the attention of said person and/or
B.) Are already dating someone else
9. Any person you fall for and see that isn't alone, will be accompanied by a person of the opposite sex who doesn't deserve to be with them.
10. If a girl tell you "let's stay friends", she won't call ever again. If you call, she won't answer.

Social Networking destroyed social networking, humanity!
The title of the post is confusing, and may not make any sense to you right now. What I want to say here is that Social Networking websites have destroyed social networking completely... One more hypothesis I would like to club along with this is... what happens when we challenge the Supreme!?
A few months back, my dad was telling me that no one can challenge the natural creations of God. If we try to do so, we pave a path that leads to our own destruction. Well, I noticed, it is true.
Man cannot control time. It is a natural phenomena created by the Supreme himself. Whenever people have tried visiting places that contain proof on the remains of Ramayan and Mahabharat, often, people have died during the journey. A Google search will tell you many such cases. There are more such cases... where in people who have tried to challenge the Supreme and find out his secrets have had a tragic end. A little known movie, Naksha (Vivek Oberoi, Sunny Deol), inspired from real life incidents and Mahabharat, has tackled the same issue.
Same is the case with Social networking. Man tried to challenge God by creating a parallel Life... a Virtual life where everything would exist just as it does in a real life. Initially, it was fine. But as it started getting more and more popular, people have now started spending their lives on Social Networking websites. People don't have time for their favourite hobbies since they are hooked to Facebook. They don't want to sleep just because they want to catch the latest Tweets. People don't want to go out and meet their friends because they want to increase their Scrap Count on Orkut! Slowly and steadily, God is now ensuring that people themselves destroy their own lives by the VERY use of the parallel world they created.
So when will we have time to actually socialize, when we're hooked on to these websites?
Friends have started complaining these days that you don't have time for them... even Parents say the same. The reason? Social Networking Sites!
A few days back, a Facebook application released a list of my Top 10 friends... None of the ones in the top 10 were actually my good friends! A few of my closest friends commented on that post... "Aajkal doosre dost aa gaye... humara naam nahi list mein!"
Was that my fault!? It was the crap application's pseudo-intellectually designed Algorithm that led to this!
Such instances hamper real social networking.
And why do we challenge God anyway!? We're mortals.. he's the one who is immortal!

T20 World Cup 2010 - Afghanistan's debut...
T20 World Cup started again yesterday, and the surprising thing this time is... no no, SRK is not present again this time at the World Cup! It is that the last T20 World Cup happened just last year, and within a year, another T20 World Cup is taking place, as opposed to the regular system of having World Cup once in every 4 years.
The highlight of this World Cup, at least for me is Afghanistan. Today it played its first match, and that too, against India! What delighted me the most was the fact that the players had been picked up from the refugee camps in Afghanistan by Pakistan born coach Kabir Khan, who has groomed them into professional cricketers.
And it does not end here, Afghanistan deservedly qualified for the World Cup by beating teams such as Ireland and UAE. I know, if you consider it from an Indian perspective, beating Ireland and UAE is hardly an issue, but well, consider this scenario: A team which has never played a cricket match comes and beats 2 teams which have been playing since over almost 20 years now. [Ireland 17, and UAE 21!]
In its first match in the World Cup T20 2010 today, against India, Afghanistan put up a respectable 115 on the score board, and played for whole 20 overs. Even though they lost, they took 3 wickets. It boosted their morale I think, and that is what matters for them, who come from a country where a person is not even sure whether he will live for a day or more. They are the only hope for reforming a war torn country.
I hope they make something out of this.
God bless them.
