2 States : Movie Review

What can you expect from a movie which is based on Chetan Bhagat's Novel.
The lady doesn't look an inch South Indian and the guy doesn't look like Punjabi and both of them have absolutely nothing to do with IIMs
Guy (inappropriate to refer to this person as Hero) walks in Girls' hostel freely and stays up overnight cozying up almost always.. Quite possible considering Dharma Production.

Then comes the Hindi Cinema oldest stereotypical sequence :
1. We are Punjabi  -- We are having "bada dil" -- We have garam khoon -- We drink heavily and we eat a lot of non veg and we are the loudest specie available on earth and possibly elsewhere.

2. Oh we are Tamilians and not South Indians -- We are well cultured because we wear well ironed white clothes --- We don't eat non veg --- We think it is papam to drink and so on..

After the stereotypes and few misplaced songs where the fellow looks straight out of the Weight Loss Program and struggles to dance and for that matter even move with little grace, the movie ends abruptly leaving you in a State of utter Confusion.

Thank God watched in Mangala.

Cordial Invitations to Auspicious Occasions

I've always hated being in bcc list of "supposedly" Friends who "Send to All" messages "To cordially invite you to their weddings"
Sometimes people also refer to their own weddings as Auspicious Occasion. 
Common! Who are you? God!!!!

Never forget the "Please treat this email as Personal Invitation!" . 
How Can I ? when I am in the bcc list.

Also why cant you write a simple email and not attach a Clumsy Megabyte (most likely to retain as much Color as possible) Scan (inverted to 360 degree) of Page 1 and Page 2 of your Wedding Card.

I almost always end up marking these messages to Spam List and these guys to Crazy List.

Two reasons come to my mind why this happens with me:
1) I am unpopular.
2) On closer inspection it is reason 1 only with some variation of words.

I think it should be as simple as this:
If you want someone to come join you in your wedding or for that matter any occasion  be it celebrating your own craziness, simply pick up your phone and call.
If you don’t want someone to come, don’t call.

Get real. No one is going to put you in prison, if you don’t invite people whom you don’t know well enough to invite!

But we live in the world of hypocrisy where I don’t want to invite the office colleagues actually but I also want to invite them on email so they get the messages that they are invited but aren't invited actually!

However the lowest point was hit recently when a friend Invited me (just) to join his Wedding page on Facebook to grace (his Facebook page?) with my Blessings (Commmmonnn the trillionth time!)
Now that is real lavishness. Thanks Retard and you know what Fuck you!!
