Pu La's Mumbaikar,Punekar and Nagpurkar

-
Anyone who has any idea about Marathi literature will definitely know about Pu La.

Gaurav has tried to translate the famous attempt by Pu La of defining the traits of the people of the three cities,viz. Mumbai,Pune and Nagpur.


All this preparation should be enough to make you a normal Punekar. But if you want to operate a shop in Pune, you need more lessons. You especially need lessons on language. Only then will you be able to heap maximum insults on your customer in minimum possible words. Because in Pune, the verb "operating" a shop is used in the same sense as "operating a bull dozer" or "operating a machine gun". The most negligible entity in a shop in Pune, is the customer.


Read the entire post over here. And yes, if you know Marathi then do try to get hold of the recordings in the voice of Pu La. Hillarious, to say the least.

For the novices, you can read about Pu La more over here and here.

Cheers,
HP

Saw a video at the below linked blog. Real cool video which depicts a debate in a school in Pakistan. The debate is on the nuclear tests conducted by Pakistan. More such debates at the ground level and more interactions would help the coming generations to live in peace. Enough of my blabber. Below is the link. http://crawls.blogspot.com/2006/05/future-certainly-looks-promising.html/ Cheers, HP

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

First heard this song when Vinod asked me for a video of the song. And got hooked instantly. Green Day is one of the better new bands currently. Come to think of it, there are very few good bands going around. Or, should I say very few famous bands ruling the roost now. We have Coldplay, Matchbox 20,Arctic Monkey and a few others and these too are not like that they have universal appeal and whose songs stay on the top of the charts for long. Compare this situation with the ones in the 60's,70's and the 80's. Then, the bands that were famous like Beatles,Doors,U2,Pink Floyd and many such others had an universal appeal and they are still among the perennial favourites for ppl in colleges to do cover versions. Anyways, enough of my stupid ramblings. I dont even know what I am talking about. When I had decided to write a post about this, I had lots of things to say but now, I am feeling lazy, so I am just gonna post the lyrics for this song. Maybe, sometime later I will do a f
