All things Bright and Beautiful..

Family Entertainer

Was watching a movie yesterday on Set Max.. Some real old one with Salmaan and ( sizzz..lingg ) Sanju baba who are brothers in the movie.One of those very typical hindi movies. All the rules to try and make it a big blockbuster..fisssh.. They even tried Sonali and Karishma and a whole lot of other big names.
Sanjay Dutt has just been hit by 7 gundas, and inspite of all his super power and big muscles the poor guy is injured. Must give the director credit for depicting something normal here. No human being , unless he/she is a YYY can defend himself against 7. So hes bleeding from that usual place on his forehead.. top left corner.
There are only some fixed spots which have been documented. 1. Top left on the forehead - the director really went by the book here. 2. Right corner of the lip. 3. From either nostril ( My least favorite ). Come on atleast get creative here.
Karishma arrives at the scene of action, drives him to the hospital or takes a rick or calls the ambulence. Who cares, they dont show that part.But alas its a police case so the Doctor has to be reminded of his "duty" with an intense 20 second lecture delivered by the
lady. Sudden transformation in the doctor's point of view .. halo glowing. They have to drill this in in every single movie and yet the doctors never learn. Next scene the hero's entire family, all generations, is at the hospital dressed in the nicest clothes and finest jewellery.
If they really cared enough for him, they'd have come as they were instead of wasting time on that makeup. These little things...
Doctor comes out of the OT looking pretty pleased like hes just won a battle, grinning from ear to ear and proclaims, " Hes complete out of danger. Hes fine now "
Hmm mustve been a splinter from the log that was causing all that life threatening bleeding.
Continues, "This girl here.. " (pointing to Karisma) "she saved your son's life. She's a very good girl " .
Karishma, who is standing neglected till now, is now the subject of interest to the Hero's mom who's thinking she could be The girl for my son!!
Blah.. If it were only this simple, I'd beat up the guy myself and take him to the hospital.
But theres more in store and only Salmaan is let in on the actual status of the patient.
Doctor : " The injury is very deep. I cannot really say anything right now"
Then why in god's name did you say he was fine !!Never trust doctors.

I couldn't take it anymore. I burst out laughing. Could I possibly ask for more entertainment :))
Me: When will they ever make things that are more believable and closer to reality
My mom: For that you need to change the channel.. to the news.

Second innings

Sitting at the dentist's chair grinning wide at him, not that I was pleased with him or any such
thing but coz of this contraption I was fitted with, had some time to think about how technology has advanced in the last few years. No, not speaking about the fighter planes, but about certain other appliances which were being soldered on to me with micro precision tools.

There's a sizable population of people who've had crooked teeth, who've gone thru the tortorous
two-three years of treatment and are living happily ever after. Then there are others who've been there done that but their periodontal membrane refuses to budge and also on the side they've been slightly careless and lazy, but I'm not gonna stress too much on that.O:) Rather , I can think of a few reasons why one can jump into it all over again !!..theres absolutely no need to lose hope.

The best part is probably that they come in ceramics now, so you dont have worry about the metal detectors at airports. But of course, they cost double the amount as compared to the metal ones. Yeah, you wont even feel like smiling after you think about it .. yes double, in fact a little more than double but what the hell, Tom cruise had them.

Then of course there's this UV stud gun they've borrowed from the US military, actually star wars would be more apt. I swear I had never seen one of those before ... With blue light eminating it looks pretty cool.

Ah then there's the fun part, the suction tube, wont describe it as the name is suggestive enough. But not too challenging a career for the assistant I guess who sits there doing just this the entire
day. In fact by the time I was done, he was in tears, literally... and I thought my job was dull :P

Plus there is a new thrill involved. People's reactions! Don't hope for any positive ones tho, just the surprized startled puzzled look. Don't bother answering why how where, just flash your million dollar ( yeah ) smile.
