THE HERO CHANGETH

The posters for the interestingly-titled "Billu Barber" are out. Though I'm no Shahrukh Khan fan, the title (which refers to the brilliant and talented Irrfan Khan) made me think:

The Bollywood hero has widened his scope
Not just lover/avenger, he's given us hope,
Always a charmer
Now he's a barber
What's next? Plumber, presswallah or Pope?

It is also about means

"Their method was wrong. I apologise for that. It should not have happened. But it was done to save our daughters and mothers from an alien culture," a defiant Muthalik said. [Link]

Some young Indian girls got beaten till blue
They allegedly violated some 'traditional value'
Said Ram Sene Chief
In his apology brief
'Didn't know the right method, we did not have a clue'

Footwear Fears

After Bush, shoe-cide attack on Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao....(link)


Missile, bombs, and pellets to induce tears,
Shoes are at the top of world leaders' fears,
Thrown with a real good aim,
You can "duck" as in a game,
Then check out the size*** after confusion clears.....


***Bush says it was a size 10 (link)

In praise of Federer

Nadal beat Federer at the Australian Open. It happens. This limerick inspired by some writing Federer off .... (link)





Nadal has now become a household name,
Some think Federer has forgotten his game,
They put him in the dock
Saying , he has a mental block,
For his loss they have that to blame.....

But even machines stutter, and Federer is on a break,
Greatly advised for his mind and body's sake,
He will be back with a bounce,
Rafael Nadal he will trounce,
6-2,6-3,3-6, 6-1,6-1, the match he will take .......

Chawla's Loo Breaks Led to Congress Phone Calls : CEC (link)


The Nirvachan Sadan **** has an imposing structure,
The 3 man commission has just faced a fracture.
One commissioner would visit the loo,
To pass on news to the Who's Who
Its bathrooms are being locked up at this juncture.....

Inspired by Teeth...

Inspired by this blog and this story, get a new understanding of dentists......


Injections, digging, the gums are being drilled,
The pain is so bad, I am certainly not thrilled,
I didnt know those canals had roots,
The teeth and dentist must be in cahoots,
I'll know how much, maybe only when I am billed......


London has Bridges, it also has a Crown,
Why have it in my mouth ? I think and frown...
But Lord Krishna did "Aaaaa...",
And showed the Universe from afar
And Ma Yashoda's jaw just fell and stayed down.......

Inspired by shoulders

When lifting a bag feels like its a boulder,
The pain comes actually from a frozen shoulder...
Exercises are a good bet,
I havent started mine yet,
I guess these are just signs of growing older ......
