WTF

I found someone’s brain lying on the road, and it seems that it has never been used. I think it belongs to one of the following three.

  1. Avinash Mahatekar
  2. Prakash Ambedkar
  3. Udit Raj

Or maybe, all three lost theirs. They are fuming over the use of the word “mochi” in a song. Thats right. Mochi as in cobbler. They think (can they??) that it is casteist and derogatory. WTF. I mean seriously. Do these guys smoke hash everymorning or something?

Some updates on stuff that happened while I was gone.

  1. Most important – revived a friendship I think. Hope that this time it works better.
  2. Misra got promoted – Yay! I bet he has to treat.
  3. It is confirmed that Debo broke his leg.
  4. My knee is healing up.
  5. Albus Dumbledore is gay – Great!! Now I feel so weird about being rated as closest to Dumbledore on that Facebook app!! Maybe it is time to bid it farewell.
  6. Rediff copies the article blatantly – or almost. I know they do mention LA Times in passing, but try to pull off the whole thing as theirs! (removed after an email and IM discussion with Ojas and Amit Varma)

What’s the most romantic thing a guy has ever done for you?

An ex-boyfriend helped me in waxing some parts so I could put on a very skimpy bikini.

Also, an update on me. I am doing much better than before, and I would think that the knee is healing well. Thanks for all the emails and SMSes.

Don’t have much time for a full post, so a small roundup:

  • Google goes hindi. In a related news, it also launched the Finance service for China. Do it for India – the markets have gone bonkers!
  • Jason Calacanis analyzes the Facebook hype. It is not a Google killer. Period. And I hate some Facebook apps that allow people to chuck things at me.
  • Daily WTF – Copyright stupidity – Act One.
  • Daily WTF – Copyright stupidity – the Grand Act. Sue a Durga Puja pandal of all things!!

Man sues Yahoo and Google for taking their names from the tribes he has descended from.

A man currently being detained by immigration in Houston, TX has filed a lawsuit claiming Yahoo and Google stole their names from Tanzanian tribes. As luck would have it, the man is a descendant of both tribes – what are the odds?

The lawsuit states that Google was taken from the Gogo tribe, and Yahoo from the Yao tribe. The claim is asking for $10,000 be paid to each tribe member for the past three generations.

Yeah right!

Who, in their senses, would nominate Eklavya for Oscars, ahead of Gandhi, My Father and Chak De India.

Sample this:

  • Man makes video.
  • Viacom uses video, without the man’s approval.
  • Man uploads Viacom’s video featuring his video on Youtube.
  • Viacom sues man.

Sounds absurd? Sure does to me. And to this guy it is “bass-ackwards.
