Pazz’s Three for Five

13 05 2008

Yes pumpkins, it’s that time of the year again when yours truly loses all his marbels. Some say it’s the heat, others say I was dropped on the head many times as a child, no one really knows. While scientists wither away their grey matter pondering over the all important question, “Why exactly does Pazz make such stupid posts?” here’s another stupid post by Pazz. In fact this is the first of a series of columns where I will entertain absolutely random questions from fraands and non-fraands about anything from the rising inflation to Lakshmipathy Balaji’s back injury and everything else in between. Presenting Pazz’s Three for Five…Three questions…Five Minutes…Understanding, No?

First Question
Dear Pazz,
Why does a man looking at the moon feel he is in love?
Elphie from Interiors of Borivali National Park.

Dear Elphie,
This issue has in fact been addressed by many other renowned scientists and astronomers in the past but everytime they tried to come out with the truth they were attacked by a half-man, half-Anil Kapoor werewolf types creature. I however will risk life and limb and answer this question for you.
You see when the moon is full, the tide is at its highest. At this time, the half-man, half-Anil Kapoor werewolf uncle searches for his next victim. He poses as a salesman for Fairglow fairness cream and approaches his unsuspecting victim. He then proceeds to say, ‘Sirf Fairglow deta hai aapko Chaand jaise gorapan’. Please to looking up to sky’. When the poor victim looks skywards and sees black spots on the moon, he realizes that Abhishek Bacchan was saying the truth in the movie Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya when he sang, ‘Tujhpe to fir bhi daag hai, Mera chand to bedaag hai’. (View video below)

But before he can react, the tidal pull of the full moon raises the blood level in his head by 30 microns as a result of which the ‘Love Sector’ of the brain is activated instead of the ‘Anger and Disgust as a result of seeing Anil Kapoor shirtless Sector’. And that explains why a man staring at the moon feels that he is in love. Wait do you hear that sound…it’s coming closer… Aaaaaarrrrggghh….it’s Half-man Half-Anil Kapoor werewolf type uncle!

Second Question

Have you heard about the man who fell off the earth?
Binnyboi from Thiruvala

Dear Binnyboi,
Yes indeed, I have heard of the man who fell off the earth, and I even attempted to catch him. Let me tell you the whole story in detail. The reason why the man, Brijmohan Kunjprakash, fell off the earth is because of the Vodafone pug. Yes that same innocent looking doggie who tries to tell everyone that he is ‘Happy to Help’. It so happened that one day Brijmohan Kunjprakash wanted to call his gullphraand in Bhilai and tell her that all was kushal mangal in Mumbai. But you see since, Bhilai does not have very good Vodafone coverage, his gullphraand decided to use Aircel which has much better coverage. Now Aircel has a very limited circle (approximately farther than the cows go to graze before they sit down lazily and ruminate for the rest of the day). So Aircel transfers to Idea and Idea to BSNL and BSNL to Spice Telecom and Spice Telecom to BPL and BPL to Reliance and Reliance to Virgin and Virgin to Indicom and then Kajol runs to the to Vodafone pug who then gallops to you till he collapses.

Poor Brijmohan Kunjprakash did not know this and thought that he would be charged by standard STD calling rates. But when he heard the robotic recorded voice say ‘Your balance is very low’ he fell backwards and strangely instead of falling down and busting his head open, his feet shot up vertically and then Brijmohan began floating mysteriously in the air. Yes I did try to stop him and even managed to grab his shoe. But his shoe came off, and ever since that day, Brijmohan Kunjprakash has been floating in outer space.

Third question

Why do all Bhootni aunties carry candles? I mean this is the 21st century?
Khooni Dracula ki Behen

Dear Miss Khooni Dracula ki Behen,
As you may know, the Ramsay brothers were at one point the most popular horror movie directors in India. Movies like Saamri, Khooni Dracula, Bhaago Bhoot Aaya, Paapi Gudiya etc etc, are horror classics. At that time, the Ramsay brothers used to have their headquarters in the posh areas of south Mumbai. But then in the early 2000s a new Bhootni came on the scene who was way scarier than any Ramsay brothers bhootni. Yes, younglings, I’m referring to Amisha Patel.

Soon The Ramsay Brothers started to incur heavy losses as a result of which they had to shift their offices to Nalasopara. Now as you all know Nalasopara has a power cut every day. Sometimes this happens in the night time as well. But as they say in show-bijhness, the show must go on and on and on. So Ramsay Brothers decided that to be prepared for bijli cuts all the time, all the Bhootni aunties will carry a candle at every hour of the day, until there’s a solution to the power problem in Nalasopara, which we know will never ever happen. Also as an added advantage, the wax that drips from the candles is used for waxing by our saxy Bhootnis. Vary ingenious no?

Young Dads, Old Dads and Trannies!

8 05 2008

The Rajasthan Royals may have been defeated thoroughly by the Mumbai Indians yesterday, but some Rajasthani under-19s still scored! In fact under-16s. Move over Ravindra Jadeja, Khiya Ram Jat is the new star from Rajasthan.

Teenagers all over India already consider him a hero. But what exactly did Khiya Ram Jat do that brought him the name and shame fame? All ye virgins, prepare to bow down and worship! Khiya Ram got laid at 14! In your face Steve Carell! He didn’t just get laid at 14 he did it unprotected. In your face I-Pill and ‘Kandome’ commercials! Not only did he get laid at 14 and do it unprotected, he did it with an older (16 year old) chick! In your face wannabe high-school studs! And finally, not only did he get laid at 14, do it unprotected with a 16 year old chick…he was married at 11! In your face bharatmatrimony.com and shaadi.com!

Khiya Ram Jat, enjoyed a celebrity status (more older chicks, fast cars camels and the whole shebang!) for a

good part of a year…until of course he realized that he was now a father! When informed about the birth of his first child Khiya Ram was reported to have said, “Kaise? She didn’t even lay an egg!” following which he became a subject of mockery in the media. At that time a senior villager (89 year old Siya Ram Jat) came to his rescue and yelled to the giggling media men, “Kisi ka mazaak udaana hai to mhaara udaao, saalo!” He later revealed that last year he became a father at the age of 88! “Dekho mhara footo naseeb! Sattar saal camel ka doodh peeya. Jaane kitni laate khai camel ki. Aur jab finally chance aaya to kandome bhool gaya! Mhaari to baj gayi!”

However neither Khiya Ram nor Siya Ram had it as bad as Brazilian football star – Ronaldo. At least they didn’t do it with 3 transvestites!





Top 3 Disgusting Soft-Drink Flavours

27 03 2008
3) Vanilla Coke – One dreadful day I switched the TV on and saw Vivek Oberoi dancing around on screen dressed more idiotically than usual. The awesome Bappi Lahiri loudly and proudly proclaimed the arrival of the ice-creamy thanda- Bhenilla Coke!
My very first swig of this horrible concoction was enough to put me off for good. This bastard child of Vanilla ice-cream and Coca Cola left as bad a taste in my mouth as would seeing Bappi Lahiri in a thong!
Here’s what I learned from the horrendous experience – Ice Cream..Good!, Soft drink..Good!, Ice Cream flavoured Soft Drink….Mommmmmmmmyyyy!!

2)Mirinda Strawberry – Mirinda Strawberry brought back childhood memories for me of the not so good kind.
As a kid I was frequently down with tonsillitis. The thing I dreaded the most about besides the swelling in my throat and the incessant coughing was the horrible taste of the cough syrups that were shoved down my throat by the spoonful. I’m sure I’m not the only one who had to endure patiala pegs of benadryl and corex. Anyway, the point is the taste..try and recall the weird, gag-reflex inducing taste. Okay now hold that thought!
Now add some fizz to that taste et voila – Mirinda Strawberry!

1) Pepsi Cafechino It was bad enough that the ad for this abomination of a cola featured what I consider, two of the most annoying Bollywood actresses – Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra shaking their butts in blue overalls. “The kiss of cola, with a kick of coffee’ was the way it was described in the ad. Sounds delicious na? Not quite, let’s change the description a bit. The Pepsi Cafechino experience was more like ‘a french kiss from a Dadima with a kick in the nuts.’

Before these haunting memories re-aggravate my schizophrenia I’ll kalti. Do yourself a favour and go have a ganna juice or something!




Ship is my Country…

25 03 2008

When I was one and twenty,
I finished B.Com
But even after that
I found no kaam.

Interview after interview
I was not clearing
So I enrolled myself
For marine engineering.

But it was vary hard,
Not bachho ka khel,
If I failed,
They wouldn’t let me sail.

So I studied and studied,
Night after night.
And then in exam,
I wrote everything right!

Now since I was topper
I got a good offer,
All gain, no lose
I joined luxury cruise

Now ship is country,
Sea is my home,
Duty is my life
But who is my wife??





Saas Bahu Aur Zaika

14 03 2008

(Click Image to View the Title Track)

Now you might wonder what the hell I am talking about here…Well let’s just say this is another case of me watching a crappy TV show/Movie and deciding to make a blog post about it. Today’s menu feature a unique concept.

Name: ‘Saas Bahu aur Zaika’

Channel : Live India TV

Concept: ‘Saas Bahu aur Zaika’ combines two hit formulas of TV shows into one…the result - a dish that leaves a repulsive after-taste in your mouth. The show is a cross-breed between a Saas-Bahu Show, a Sitcom, a cookery show and Fantasy. Ask me how!

Well Saas Bahu aur Zaika (lets call it SBZ) features 3 characters - Saas - The Shapely Mother-in-Law, Bahu - The Anorexic Bahu and Zaika - The Guy who’s dressed as a chef. Now I think the Zaika fellow is a real chef and it would have made sense to just show him on a simple cookery show but NO! Creativity knows no bounds. Live India decided to have the best of all world’s.

So every episode revolves around how the mother-in-law is either very hungry(not surprising looking at her figure)/or has invited guests over/ or is demanding something new to eat etc. etc. If our stick-thin Bahu cannot deliver, dire consequences await her. (Classic Saas-Bahu stuff).

Enter Zaika! The master chef….the genius….he’s like the rat from ratatouille, only he’s not a cartoon character and isn’t cute and fun to watch either. Zaika (which literally translates to taste) makes everything the ‘health-conscious’ saas can ask fo. In the episode that I was lucky enough to witness, he made a Potato Omlette…..yes you heard me right….a potato omlette….an omlette with real potatoes in it. He also made various other delicacies such as Cheese Garlic bread and Chicken Mayo Sandwiches and what not.

While Zaika does all the cooking, Bahu stands there and provides highly intellectual insights and poses some great questions as well

e.g. When Zaika was making the chicken-mayo filling for the sandwiches, Bahu asked ‘So are you going to put this filling….between the breads??’

Tough one indeed!

Next comes the sitcom angle….the saas basically goes mad-whack due to hunger…something like the Hulk when he’s hungry….I mean angry (We all know we won’t like him when he’s angry!). So starts bouncing off the walls doing all sorts of crazy things which are supposed to provide ‘comic relief’. In the episode I watched, she started to believe she was Basanti from Sholay!!

As is quite evident by now, all that Zaika cooks in the episode is served to the Saas at the end of the episode so she doesn’t lose her mind due to hunger and is able to preserve whatever little gray matter she has remaining.

But here’s the twist…..I bet none of you saw this coming….Zaika….the unassuming, hardworking, diligent, wonder-chef….is not really a chef…

He’s a………………….GENIE!!!

And guess where Zaika the Genie lives!! He lives inside the pressure cooker!! Awesome no?

Proof of this is found on their title track (which by the way has awesome lyrics as follows….)

Female Voice:

Saas Bahu aur Zaika (x2)

Saas Bahu ke ghar ke andar

Rehta hai Jin Cooker ke andar

Zaika:

Hahahahahahahaha! (Genie Laugh)

Naam hai jiska Zaika!!!

Kya pakau mere aaka!!

Female Voice:

Saas ko shauk hai khane ka

Aur Bahu ko shauk pakane ka! (uhh what does Zaika do again?)

Saas Bahu aur Zaika (x2)

Enjoy!!

Paras.

 

Oh by the way…This show was nominated for ‘Best Cookery Show’ in 2006 on the HHITA awards (no clue what that stands for)
