and so it begins...

soooooo...
lots has happened since i last blogged.

most importantly..
the lux zee cine awards were on last night and i sat through most of them.
:)
this was me spending time with family.
but i did learn a couple of things along the way.

1) karan johar is an idiot.
i already knew that... but now i have proof.

2) i think neha dhupia is hot.
as is kareena kapoor
and katrina kaif.

along with bips.
who i think is the hottest.

3) everyone sucks up to shahrukh khan. thats the rule. apparently. for no apparent reason.
they constantly give him awards he doesnt need or deserve. and in most cases doesnt know what theyre for.

4) and in a moment that can be best described as the most awkward censored moment in tv history.
this guy called sunil lulla was called upon to give an award.
yes. thats his real name. Sunil. Lulla.
and some smart alec at geo though that he should censor the name.
so he censors the last name.

which means that we end up seeing idiot host say "please welcome!...Mr. Sunil ____" and mouthing his last name.

what smart alec geo guy didnt realise was that when a presenter comes up onstage they write their name in subtitles on screen.

so while we were wondering which sunil this is...shetty, gavaskar, sharma(?)...out walks Mr. Lulla.
causing the first real silence in my khaalas tv lounge that night.

5) i like the following songs : mauja hi mauja. the dance-y song with saif ali khan in Race. and dard-e-disco.
i sense a trend here.

6) fake audio applause can only get you so far. indian award show directors need to start adding fake visuals so that when they cut to the audience they actually look alive, and not like theyve just been woken up by this ear shattering applause thats seemingly raining down on them from the heavens.

7) have i mentioned i think bips is hot?

i fell asleep before the best actor and actress awards.
but i did see the nokia advert about a gazillion and one times before i did.
and i still didnt get it.
my khala thinks its a typewriter in the sky.
which makes about as much sense as giving shahrukh khan that award from dubai citi gold city in london.

i realise how this blog will make no sense to anyone, seeing how its not making much sense to me either.
