so survived the blasts today. it is humanly impossible to secure this city from bomb blasts, but the blasts defintely were an in- your- face act. well, as for the media, they cuoldn't be more irresponsible. What was first resported as 6 blasts, then mellowed down to 4 and then was finally watered down to 2 blasts in the city. so much for media shouting themselves hoarse and warning aam junta to turn a deaf ear to rumours. all this while they happily spread rumours themselves. media ethics is at its lowest and i am going to be a part of this set up. this establishment, which prides itself about being an independent, unbiased, medium.
i mean BBC called Zaveri Bazaar, Mumbadevi, a hindu temple. they were taking their footage off our channels, but they had their own correspondent. one Srivastav dude. Rajdeep sardesai was all gung ho about the blast and was hyperventilating and then sheepishly admitted that there were only 2 blasts. i mean ridiculous. and these are supposed to be the demi gods of journalism in our country.

you know sometimes, we are so busy cribbing in life that we don't realise that we are so much more blessed than so many others across the globe. just the fact that i am living and have a higher probability of seeing the sun tomorrow makes me luckier than millions of others.

that IIPM dude is at it again. this time it's a book on The Great Indian Dream. Andy Warhole said, "in the future everyone will have fifteen minutes of fame." i wish some people didn't.

Q) What can be worse than one Mahesh Bhatt?
A) Two Mahesh Bhatts. (I2I on NDTV is the most awful programme ever. )

i felt miserable watching Shekhar Gupta interviewing a moron like Salman Khan. I mean, it's criminal to make Gupta do soemthing like that.
