There are too many things on my mind now, so I am just blogging them all out -
1. Upaas/Fasting: I find that this concept has completely lost it's meaning. It probably once stood for cleansing your body, portion control and basically eating good stuff like fruits. But over time, it has become a free pass to consume everything that is bad for you - sabudana, french fries, smoothies, milkshakes, potato chips, etc. and still feel good about it. I feel that people who really want to fast for the right reasons should do it the old fashioned way, others should at least admit the charade.
2. The most ridiculous concept fed to gullible (aka dumb) passengers:

3. How the tables have turned!

4. I don't know when the concept of a battlefield went away. I remember that our history books always had the two sides fighting on a neutral ground so innocent civilians were spared. But I am not sure at what point in history or with which war did the fighting start getting right into the cities and capitals. Was it with the World War? Or before that?
5. David Dhawan - This guy is hilarious. Here are some excerpts from interviews with Riteish Deshmukh and Govinda regarding their new movie "Do Knot Disturb" where they talk about David -
Riteish: He has his own style and sense of comedy. When you're saying a dialogue, you hardly get a director interrupting with, 'Abhi tang upar kar aur uspar daal de, abhi haatho se use pakad...' In between all that, you're trying to remember your lines. And then suddenly the cameraman calls 'cut.' Davidji asks why he cut the scene and the cameraman says, 'Sir, aap frame main hain.' These things can only happen on his sets!
Govinda: In a David Dhawan film, you never know why what will happened. Like in Hero No 1, there is a song that goes like this: Main tujhko bhaga laya tere baap ke darr se. But the film did not have a 'Baap' character.
If an actor has two changes of clothes in one scene, people should not ask David why. If you do, David would say, 'tu samjh le na yaar change karke aaya hoga.'

David Dhawan thing is hilarious! Govinda is also hilarious. I saw this really bad movie of his once, but there was a line that I still remember and laugh. He gets a phone call in the night and goes in his sleeping clothes to meet a woman in the park who ends up murdered. He hides in the bushes as the police come. Then he glances down and says arre main mauka-e-vardaat pe lungi chhod ke aa gaya!
Interesting question about war. I found this:
