I swear on whoever you consider holy, I did not edit this line. Presenting as it was heard, rather in this case as it was read..

Perspectives can throw up interesting points of discussion and debate. However sometimes you are left with nothing but to accept any perspective as a valid reason. For when they are put in “perspective” they do make that kind of sense and you can’t do anything about it.
Gaddesh was once curious about what L-O-L stood for. His firm belief was Lots of Love.. “considering the situation it can’t be anything else ya..she told me L.O.L. while signing off..”. I stuck to my geek power and started dishing out references of various chat rooms to conclude that LOL was still very much Laughing out Loud. To Jayanand it was simply lol..”haan ..lol“.
LOL anyone?

Running a humour blog (supposedly) is a risky proposition. The chances of social ostracization for corrupting the web are high, and so I told myself Roflin you need a name. And so the search began.
I called up my trusted namedigger KabhiRaj - “Kabz, I need a name dude.” “You know it is funny, even my little cousin needs one..” was his imaginative reply. After a round of verbal volleys of names and cusses, I suggested “how’s Roflin D’souza?”.
“But you are not a D’souza!”
“Dude, am not Roflin either..!” (we like talking in exclamations)
The saga continued..
Kabhi was of the opinion that I should keep it Roflin Kapoor, “you will be a star kid.. tere aankhon mai taare honge…”
The topic concluded when I said,”haan blog flop hoga toh taare zameen par honge..”. People are gifted in many ways, mine is the uncanny ability to put a full stop to humour.
As a final straw I said, maybe I should use Roflin Pednekar. His reply was..”paagal log pay nahi karenge tujhe!” Apparently am not the only full stop.
While the phone call yielded no worthy conclusions, it surely paved way for a post here. I find it strange though that somehow these conversations seem a lot more funny than what they actually are on the phone.
Anyway, the search ends continues for an identity.. till then Roflin is just Roflin. You can call me Rofu

I had the good fortune of watching two useless Bollywood movies this weekend. While I won’t say too much about Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal (what a name.. D3G), I was extremely impressed with Om Shanti Om. It very lived up to its tag of “hum film wale hai hum kuch bhi karte rehte hai“.
While Deepika’s legs looked stunning ins ome of the song sequence, there wasn’t anything new to see in the movie except that. Why even SRK’s body looks like that of the hordes of young men lining up to be in the movie industry. The scenes itself were completely a spoof of older movies of course, which the makers proudly proclaim as what their attempt was in any case. Such movies are my filmi family’s delight actually, but I wonder why I would want to see it all again if I saw it in other movies before.
Anyway, this is not a review site, nor is this post planned to be a rating zone for OSO. This is in fact dedicated to who I believe was a non existent dialogue writer. I am sure whoever it was (they showed some guy walking out of a rickshaw at the end of the movie, saying he wrote the dialogues), wasn’t paid.
Or maybe considering the absolute needlessness of dialogues in the movie Farah and Shahrukh might have just asked him to write the dialogues till the interval and paid him half his salary.
I don’t see any other reason to have heard 3 dialogues being repeated endlessly by different people throughout the movie. “Jab kisi cheez ko dil se chaho…” they went on, unfortunately the universe didn’t consipire to give some new and better dialogues. I was stuck to quayanat, and sindoor and nahiii for most part of the movie. And the other its and bits were of course carelessly lifted from older hindi films in any case. Effective cost saving I must say.. SRK is surely a shrewd guy.. (no wonder the poor dialogue man came in a rick…)

24th of November will no longer be remembered as an American holiday. Doesn’t matter if it never was. For today we raise our voice together, clear our throats to shout that we will not go down, that we will not give up, that we shall teach these young men the values of …
ROFL means rolling on floor laughing. This is our attempt to be funny. Pleased to meet you..
