Coconut Chutney now comes up with a Chetan Bhagat plot generator.

Meet Nikhil, Mike & Ramachandramoorthy. All they wanted was to become successful, and starting a business seemed to be the perfect plan. But life is never that easy in Ahmedabad, and when the extremely beautiful Sheetal enters their lives, things change like never before. Follow Nikhil as he fights against inter-community relationships, inter-community relationships and even inter-community relationships to realize his dreams. Is one dream one too many? Will they make it?

Civilized cultures existed in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Similarly, intelligent life-forms existed in South Asia before the proliferation of cable television, cineplexes, shopping centers, cell phones, and the Internet. Using the cultural keystone Maine Pyar Kiya, I have attempted to painstakingly piece together details about the life of the “common person” as he or she lived in the era predating globalization.

Anirban looks back on our progress toward globalization by reviewing a pre-globalization society as determined from Maine Pyar Kiya. To be fair, when the standard was set so low, there was no place to go but up.

The rich may get food, water, electricity and what not. But a timely FIR, a proper charge sheet, a death sentence, a decent jail term, or even a fine is far beyond the reach of the rich and influential. Their oppression and injustice are a long-drawn affair. The mango men meanwhile continue to get fines, death sentences, charge sheet and all other services of the State.

Prasanth, an IAS officer, writes about the injustice towards the rich.

I gulped down whatever 50-60 ml in one shot. Other than the burning sensation in the throat, everything seems fine. And by the time 15-20 minutes pass, I am already thinking to myself, what’s the big deal with drink, I don’t even feel anything. Feeling good for myself and by that time even throat is feeling a lot better. That’s when the fun begins. I am so happy for being sober and get back to twitter. Then I do this:

AaruC, a prolific blog commenter, in her first blog post shares her experience on Twittering while being drunk. She now wishes she can delete everything. Well, welcome to the world of blogging where you can try to forget but others will not let you.

Aditya has a fiction blog with a daily story, usually in the genres of sci-fiction, fantasy and often garnished with a twist of satire. The following is an excerpt from ‘Battleground’.

Bleeding and groaning, the A staggered to the librarian’s table. The librarian looked at him over her glasses, and then pushed them up to get a better look.

“How can I help you?” she said.

“I’m from the Horror section,” the A said, indicating the pool of blood gathering at its feet. “There’s been some kind of horrible confusion. I can’t even bear to look at it. But I’m looking for my book.”

Abstract: There is currently insufficient detail on how to perform emergency surgery for ridiculous bullet wounds that result from confronting Hindi film villains in everyday situations. Therefore, a clinical survey was undertaken with the purpose of identifying acceptable medical procedures compliant with known Bollywood practices. Two case studies presented here demonstrate that despite identical etiology, disparate outcomes result from the state of inebriation of the patient during the medical procedure.

One side-effect of sharing such classic gems of treating non-lethal bullet injuries inspired by Bollywood movies is some idiot trying it in all seriousness after Googling and landing on this page [hat tip: ProxyDesi].

Mr Prash also mentioned that Afridi will be replacing Mike Tyson as the Brand Ambassador for Laal Dant Manjan. “We’re disappointed with Mr Tyson. He hasn’t bitten anything in many years. Afridi on the other hand is an role model to kids. If he bites a cricket ball, millions of kids will start gnawing at random things”.

Priyananda Shenoy writes about Dabur’s viral campaign involving Afridi.

What bothers me is when the Hornio Couplus sneak into a corner. That is a private display of affection(a little too much affection methinks). A zoo is where animals are bred in captivity, humans are bred in hospitals and honeymoon hotels. The Hornio Couplus intend to breed in the zoo.
