THANK YOU GOD (IF YOU EXIST THAT IS) !!!!!
Before anything else, probably an explanation is required for the url of my new (yay!!) blog.
After 20 futile minutes of trying to find a name for my [ahem] blog, i finally get frustrated and hey what do you know... THATS THE ONLY NAME AVAILABLE .. appparently. Well it just adds up to my conclusion that, as Douglas Adams had so aptly said in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, nothing in life really adds up. Just when you feel you have made some head or tail out of it, life just creeps up behind you and gives you a hearty kick in the backside. Sometimes I wonder if Mr. Adams had really got it right when he gave the answer to the ultimate question, the answer to life, the universe and everything else, to be ... hold your breath.... the ULTIMATE ANSWER TO BE NONE OTHER THAN.... 42 !!!
Yes you got that right, FORTY FRICKIN TWO. It just makes sense that it doesn't make any sense, so it must be correct.
If you are still not convinced, just sit back, relax, take a deep breath and look around you. If the world was as logical a place as you think it to be, how, and I repeat, HOW in the hell does a film like Om Shanti Om become a hit ? Or HOW, just HOW in the hell does a song like Dil Dance Maare even get made ? Now you answer that !!
Anyway, yesterday while browsing through the net I came across two old songs, nay two old evergreen classic Hindi songs by A.R. Rahman. Two lovely melodies from the early nineties, two ...well cutting straight to the chase.. the songs were "Muqabla muqabla" and "Urvashi Urvashi". [ahh those were the days] . The reason i bring it up here is the lyrics of the two songs. Seriously look it up and I swear to God you won't regret it. The 1st song contains the following lines and I swear I'm not joking :::
"Jurassic Park mein sundar si jodi
Jazz music gaye mil ke"
"Picasso ki painting mera peecha pakad le
aur Texas mein naache milke"
Well lets just say that I was lost for words, I was flummoxed, bamboozled, dumbstruck by the awe inspiring design and beauty of the lyrics. As P.G Wodehouse once said, if you put a thousand monkeys at typewriters for a considerable period of time one of them will eventually churn out a script to Hamlet, but I assure you no matter how many monkeys you have and no matter how much time you give them, not one will be capable of churning out gems like these.
So here's to those brilliant geniuses at work in Bollywood, may they conjure up such countless pearls for years and years to come.
Signing off for the very 1st time...
ME. :)

You did not mean literally, right :-)
One monkey would eventually type it in.
But I did not know that Wodehouse has written about it; in fact I've seen a detailed explanation of the same in 1 2 3 infinity by George Gamow- he finds out the time required on the basis of probability and permutations and it is much more than the lifetime of the universe ( if I remember correctly)
