And a weak one at that!The "real" Chuck Norris is not a fearsome man after allIn response to my earlier posting on "Why Chuck Norris should be in desi movies..", Chuck decided to respond to me ............ not in person, but on a frickin website. Before this response, whenever my doorbell rang, I would shudder in fear expecting Chuck Norris to show up at my door and roundhouse kick me to

As I was flipping channels the other day, I happened upon this show Walker Texas Ranger. After watching him kick some major rear end and woo women for a few minutes, I unanimously came to the conclusion that this dude is a must for desi movies. After that as I flipped some more, another channel was showing Delta Force. It's a movie made in the late 80s where Chuck Norris single handedly beats the

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.Q: Should I cut down on meat

This is NOT an urban legend. It happened earlier this week in Delaware. This woman commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree and all these passerbys think its just a Halloween prank. Just sad!CNN.com - Body hanging from tree mistaken for Halloween decoration - Oct 28, 2005

Deve Gowda strikes back. He explains the importance of having your eyes closed at important meetings and how he plans to provide Bangalore with a world class All-Kannada airport by the next millenium.Opinion: Virtual reality hits : HindustanTimes.com

Thomas Friedman once described Bangalore airport as "a Greyhound terminal with a runway attached", not that this was any of his business anyway. Slighted by this the government of Karnataka set about building a new international airport and included people like Narayana Murthy in the project.One fine day former PM, Deve Gowda, woke up from his perpetual somnolent state and decided that he did not

In the 21st century where India figures to be a world player, corruption is still a big issue. India scored 88 out of 159 on the list of most corrupt countries (a miserable 2.9 of 10 points - 0 is most corrupt and 10 is least corrupt). Of course, as we all know even without all these "studies", that corruption is very much ingrained in our culture - a prime example being the drivers license

"Yo, Adrian! It's me, Rocky." is back for a sixth instalment. The original Rocky was one of the best feel-good underdog movies ever made. Part II and IV were decent and the other ones just plain sucked specially part V. Why would they do this? Nearly 20 years after part V?I guess Hollywood is running out of ideas.CNN.com - Stallone returning for sixth 'Rocky' - Oct 17, 2005

Sahar airport in Mumbai! Or is it Chattrapati Shivaji Airport? Oh wait I thought Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus was the railway station!!! These things are important you know. You have to brand every landmark with Chattrapati Shivaji's name in Mumbai. That, my friend, is important.What is not important is the service these landmarks provide.Take Sahar airport for instance.

With all due respect to the law abiding citizens of Delhi, the nation's capital is turning into a breeding ground for rapists. This is totally unacceptable. Seems like every other day there is a gangrape (which, of course, has been glorified on-screen by Shakti Kapoor, Ranjit and other villains in the Hindi movies). Delhiites should do a better job of protecting their womenfolk. There is no lack

I've noticed this trait more amongst desis because of our lack of aggression.1. You let others' mistakes inconvenience you.2. You let others take credit for your ideas.3. You apologize unnecessarily.4. You work without breaks.5. You do others' work for them.I am sorry but if you are doing 2 or more of the stuff at work, its time for a change in personality. It's always good to be nice to others

Hindus in UK and other European counties are apparently trying to cleanse the Swastika of its Nazi past. Not a bad idea. But after the number Hitler did on that one, I'm betting its going to be one heck of an effort to make the Swastika PC again in Europe and North America. Prince Harry is not helping any.
