We love you, try and not be foolish!!

So, you like it (your bag) on the bed, and you wear pink bra. Good to know, ask me, I needn't know.

All you girls who get these priveate SMS about spreading breast cancer awareness, and join the bandwagon, just sit back for a minute and think. How many of you have really gone in the washrooms and examined your breasts for that dreaded lump. If you haven't got what I am talking about, thats my point exactly.

Now, if you want, I can help, just post the following text on your facebook and believe me, you will spread much more awareness about breast cancer than telling us about your bra colours.

Periodic breast self exams are essential for early identification and treatment. The breast self-exam should be done regularly every month immediately following the menstrual cycle. Step 1- Visual Inspection Look for any changes in the skin over breast like redness, swelling or puckering and nipple changes like discharge, scaling or indentation. Step 2 - Tactile Inspection There are three ways to physically examine the breasts. The Circle method The Line method, and The wedge method The Circle Method: Move the three middle fingers in a circular fashion starting from the outer edge of the breast towards the nipple. The Line Method: Move the three middle fingers starting from underarm area down below the breast. Move slowly back upwards. Repeat this until the entire breast is felt. Wedge method: Move the three middle fingers beginning at the outer edge towards the nipple. Repeat the procedure for every wedge until the entire breast is felt. Regardless of the method, the objective is to feel the entire breast and observing any abnormal changes. The breast should be soft and smooth to the touch. Pay special attention to check the underarm and upper chest areas. Feel the entire breast Breast should be soft and smooth. Observe for abnormal changes. Check under arm and upper chest areas.

Agreed, it is more cheesy and fun, but dont get foolish. We love you for what you are, but dont disappoint us by falling prey to these idiotic campaigns.

"Pink" - my bra colour
"I like it on bed" - my bag

what next...

"I like it shaved" - my arm pits....

Blabber!!

He: I wont Quit
She: I wont try
What does that mean
Thats for you to decide
Do you mean, I should quit
Of course not, just live this bit
You made me skip a beat
Ha ha, you just shot yourself on the feet
If this is a test I am failing miserably
You would have hated me if I told all this amicably
Here, take it, its a gift
Damn, still haven't got my drift??
I guess I will have to think
Ha ha, I told you, you 'll QUIT..... and the argument continues

3 idiots - 3 dots

So it seems 3 idiots is a big hit! Chetan bhagat also acknowledged it after a much publicized battle with Amir Khan. There are some dots which i figured in the scheme of things:

Dot 1 - I was just sitting and reading an article which was highlighting, how new age cinema is much more meaningful. Everyone echoes the fact that the movie told the story of 'Follow your dreams' with Rancho as the leader.

Dot 2 - However, in the same news paper I read about the rise in number of suicides in Mumbai. The extent of these suicides is such that government is planning to open a committee to look into the matter.

Dot 3 - Our movies are targeted towards a certain audience, who are likely to take the message in the right light and completely. But the exposure and reach of movies is such that there is no control on how and what people can gather from a movie.

I just happen to join the dots and heres what I think I found:

3 idiots also told a story about another guy (according to the narration, he was just like Rancho), though he could not cope up with the pressure in life and succumbed (of course after singing a song, which by far is the most common dialer tone now, which means many people can relate to that song).

so, if many people can relate to the song and obviously, can relate to his situation why is it not possible that people might take the route he took.

I am not saying, many people are depressed and they want to die. But the glorified 'I quit' suddenly added glamor to suicide. It almost told us that the best way to make a person relaize he is wrong, is to make him suffer from guilt. It was the easy route, alright, the tough one was taken by Rancho. But is it not that many people want that easy route rather than the tough one. More importantly when it comes power packed with a nice punch line.

I discussed it with a friend and got a reply - "Balls". I would have taken it as a good reply, but the same evening I came across a poster which read

Suicide is our way of telling God- "You cant fire me. I QUIT".
I rest my case!
