Anand Jon and Vijay Taneja Sentenced to Jail
posted by Ayesha Hakki on November 20, 2008 at 02:40 PM
Last week, two relatively well-known names in the South Asian community made headlines. Not in the good sense that we all wish to hear, but rather in a more obscure sense. Person number one: Anand Jon was sentenced to 67 years in prison for alleged multiple counts of sexual misconduct with underage girls. Person number two: Vijay Taneja, the name responsible for every major Bollywood show in the US plead guilty to a $33 million mortgage fraud, one of the largest in history.

Aamir...is full of shit!

Everybody has a right to tell a story, make a movie etc. I agree. Good bad ugly pretty long short whatever. I agree. Even if the good guy has to die as there is no place for him in this bad bad world.(even though i dont agree) Even if the story is somebody elses. Even if they want to drag a half hour plot into a two hour film. Even if the directors eye sees nothing but filth and squalor, shit and vomit which he tries to pass off as art. Even if they want to pump it with clichés and the script is full of gaping holes. Even if they are making a copy and not revealing the source.
Cavite anyone?

How to Approach Religion: Laugh and Laugh Again
posted by Intent on June 18, 2008 at 05:16 PM
An article in the Washington Post On Faith Section in response to their question about the controversy over the movie the Love Guru.
The inability of some religious people to laugh at themselves betrays, I think, a great deal of insecurity. What if God was a two-year-old toddler and you were his mother? You'd spend your day keeping close watch and only find calm when your child was taking a nap. But God isn't two years old, and he /she doesn't need taking care of.

Hollywood and Racism?

Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood: Dirty Harry takes on Malcolm X! Poking with a stick or let sleeping dogs lie? Which side are you on? Do we have to pick a side? Whichever side you find yourself agreeing or sympathizing with, one thing is clear. Either because of the high profile status of the two contenders or because this is an issue whose time has come - This just refuses to go away. Even after Eastwood asked Lee to “shut his face” instead of making such an issue out of it.
Spike Lee has refused to back down from his criticism of Clint Eastwood for not including black soldiers in his two films about the battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.

Hello Blog Dawgs!

It is I, the Love Guru, bloggin' in for my eleventh entry. In the spirit of complete and pure honesty, I cannot believe that we are now into double digits! It boggles the mind and tingles the loins. (not as boggling as when our pet dog "Double Digits" used his bifurcated paw to scratch his hoo ha and bury a bone at the same time... but damn close)

Perfect 10!
posted by Guru Pitka on May 29, 2008 at 04:04 AM
I can't believe I made it to 10 whole blogs! What a crazy high number. I mean, it's not as high as 11, and definitely not as high as 98. But I think it's still pretty good. I think there are blogs that don't even make it to 10 blog entries! Like that guy from Michigan who started a blog about his antique book collection.

Hello blogophiles! Welcome back to another entry in Guru Pitka's blog of Truth and Illumination. Sounds very impressive doesn't it? I wanted to call this "Rapping with the Gu." Add a C in front of rapping and you'll know what I think of that, Jack. And "Gu" is just icky.

What is ups, my virtual buttercups? It is I, his holiness, the Guru Pitka, gettin' jiggy with another blog entry. Think of these as a sort of breakfast for your soul: you shouldn't miss them, and they are the most important part of your day. Except for pooping.

Hello, fellow peace and impersonal electronic mail and global research lovers,
It is me, Guru Pitka, back again for my second blog entry. It was originally going to be called my "third entry" but I learned that was a nasty term...
