Book Review: The Company of Women by Khushwant Singh

WARNING: Contains Adult Content. Read the next post if u r a minor...

Before i say something i'd like to quote one of the first lines of the book. Khushwant Singh says "As a man gets older, his sex instincts travel from his middle to his head!!!". And now i disclose the reason why he said so....

He was 83 when he started writing this novel and finished when he was 85!!!

And you read this novel!!! you'll go crazy. The slightest details of the night spent (Read it as SEX) are detailed with such a clarity that you start breathing heavy and it certainly feels as if you are peeping through the key hole of the door they are having IT in..!!! (or feels like watching a tickly porn movie)

it'a all about a man named Mohan who hails from a middleclass brahmin family. Is extremely intelligent (tops the Princeton!!!) and for his higher studies flies ti the US.

Until then he was the same old Indian guy who was CONTENTED WITH HIMSELF (If u know what i mean!!!) and in the US he gets used to the US culture, discipline and their way of living.

There he loses his virginity to a gal named Jessica Brown , a black sexy gal who takes him to her room and their they have it. And as a poor indian guy Mohan is very committed to Jessica. But as the time passed (less than one year) they break up but.....but....mohan has tasted it.. and craves for more...And coz of his SIZE (as explained by the author) he gets more!!!

So finally just before leaving the US he has it with a Pakistani (the very idea of f*****g a Pakistani enthrills me!!! be it literally or in any other terms) named Ms. Yasmeen, much older than him and not so "HAVABLE" (Have+able) lady. but our horny bull Mohan doesn spare her....(pardon me....it was Ms Yasmeen who started it!!)..

Then after returning to India Mohan gets married and no prizes for guessing who his next prey is!!! And with this attack he gets a kid...And then the usual fight starts and they get divorced!!!

And then , again Mohan is again a free man continuing to watch the BIRDS and waiting to hunt them!!! And the next bird is his housemaid. she is dark, short and perfevctly chiseled at proper places and that was enough to quench a term's thirst!!!

Then mohan made a bold move to put up an ad in the MATRIMONY section of a newspaper for a KEEP!!!!! bold fellow (Atleast a bold imagination by Mr.singh). If ur jaw dropped reading the above line then ur jaw will rip apart from the head reading this.........he got several mails back to him from many gals. Wide variety of them. Widows, masseurs, la unsatisfied, etc etc etc....And it's his turn to have one by one...

And he keeps having many..And the same thing continues... to list a few ..an english professor from UP who has a son, a sri lankan ambassador to india, a masseur from goa, a nurse from south. and finally to end alll this he has a final one in a hotel in Mumbai. and unfortunately she is a whore and after six months mohan is diagnosed with the deadly AIDS. And after a couple of years he commits suicide consuming sleeping pills, 30 at once!!!

This ends the story but trust me after reading this ur view towards gals will change!!! and you start expecting a little (ahem....) more from the girl clan!!!

all together khushwant singh explains it so well that you cant stop thinking of trying out something like Mohan......

I finished it in straight 7.5 hours.....Need i say more!!!

costs about 250 bucks!!!

The Dirty Dozen of IPL2

Hi all,

The hip-hop IPL2 is over with a disappointing(For a RCB fan like me) finish and DC bagging the most expensive trophy!!! And the worst team in IPL1 has emerged victorious and the last 2 in IPL1 finishing as the top2!!

Now before we list the hits of IPL2 i thought of sharing the disappointing duds of IPL2..

Let's look at the flops of IPL 2, who have signally failed to live up to the hype surrounding them. Of course, the beauty of T20 is that a couple of games are all it takes to leap from dud to dude -- or vice versa! And so, as we wish them all the best, let's list the disappointing dozen:
Brendon McCullum: His blazing 158 was the talking point of IPL 1. This year, he will be lucky if he manages to score 158 from all 14 league matches put together. Looks like a man living through his worst nightmare. Certainly, nothing in New Zealand could ever have prepared him for the job of captaining a volatile, controversial side like Knight Riders.
Virender Sehwag: T20 is supposed to be tailormade for his bang-bang style, but he hasn't really fired in this edition. The finger injury hasn't helped.
Jesse Ryder: Is no more a Rider...He was supposed to add heft to Royal Challengers' T20 credentials. But so far, has only managed to weigh down their challenge. The number of ducks he's lined up would please only a bird-lover.
Kevin Pietersen: Wasn't bad with the ball. Unfortunately, he was hired primarily for his batting, where he was distinctly underwhelming. With Bangalore actually doing better after he left, he seems to be carrying some kind of jinx when it comes to leadership.
Andrew Flintoff: Everyone acknowledges that he has a huge heart. He'll need it, if he's to emerge from the hammering he copped in IPL 2 without severe psychological damage.
Tyron Henderson: His superb performances for Middlesex convinced many that he could be the Shane Watson of IPL 2. Rajasthan Royals certainly thought so, shelling out $650,000 for him. But a series of disappointing performances have left them pining for the original Watson.
Paul Collingwood: hehehehe...Cant stop laughing thinking of him..poor chap...England's T20 captain wasn't considered good enough to even get a spot in Delhi's playing XI and had to return to England without playing a single match. At least he had plenty of interesting company on the bench, in the form of Glenn McGrath and Owais Shah.
Mashrafe Mortaza: The big joke of IPL2!!!!Yes, it's probably cruel to put him in this list, since it's not his fault that his team management refuses to play him. But his plight does beg the question: what was the point of getting into a bidding war for him -- and jacking up his price from $50,000 to $600,000 -- just to make him serve drinks? Poor Mortaza has picked up the unfortunate tag of being the world's most expensive waiter. But the real jokers are the Knight Riders think-tank.
Dale Steyn: Allegedly the world's best fast bowler. He was supposed to be the ace up Royal Challengers' sleeve, especially on his home tracks. But he has spent most of the time injured, and when he has played, hasn't done much.
S Sreesanth: His comeback was eagerly awaited by fans who still remember his previous exploits in South Africa. But his first 8 overs disappeared for 81 runs. He did unleash some verbals at Hayden after getting his wicket -- having first being taken for three sixers in the over. Uh-oh, looks like he's forgotten Harbhajan's love pat already.
Harbhajan Singh: And speaking of Bhajji, four wickets from eight matches don't really do credit to Team India's premier spinner. Forget the likes of Pragyan Ojha, Shadab Jakati, Piyush Chawla, Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori and Amit Mishra, even Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina have better figures than the Turbanator.
Finally, the coach: For taking a team that fought gallantly while managing an honourable sixth place last year, and turning them into a bunch of complete no-hopers this time, let's hear it for John Buchanan (variously dubbed Bhooka-naan, or Boka-known by furious KKR fans). Still, at least one good thing has come out of his disastrous stint with KKR: you realize just how good Steve Waugh's Aussies must have been to stay on top of the cricketing world even with this weapon of mass destruction in their midst.

Well, these were the duds...The goods will follow shortly after i finish my project task...and the release...

Thats it.. And in a couple of weeks let's get ready to enjoy the T20 World Cup...And let's cheer "Dhoni's Deadly Devils".....

Cya soon...

The word "Politics" now has an insulting touch!!!

Tragedy!!!!

According to me Politics should have been the most respectable job on earth.

Because it is for the soceity and ONLY for the soceity...You get to know ur people, know the problems and serve them with all the powers in hand....but unfortunately in my country POLITICS, rather, refers to a dirty game.... Cheat, 420, budmaash, kalla, halka,and many more.....we had so many similes to address an small anti-social element. But now everyword is trashed with the introduction of the brand new word "POLITICIAN"... Being called a POLITICIAN is treated as an insult....Thanks to our Able (??? !!!) leaders viz. HDD family, Lalu, Pappu (Infact pappu cant rule saala!!!), Amar singh (He offered the SIMI a whopping 10 lakhs...for the innocent and poor minority community!!!)..And the lady lord of UP...Dalit ki beti (!!!) Mamta..., About to die but still greedy to rule TN ..Mr.Karunanidhi.... Our former home minister who changed the dress thrice in a day when the TAJ was burning and our soldiers were dying!!! The CM of 100% literate state A-Chute-Anand who insulted a martyrs family, Antulay...!!! The greatest of all...he says mumbai attack was a local plot by BJP!!! and Pakistan was not involved!! Son of a bit**...

I personally feel all these pig headed pretty poloticians should be killed and then let's execute Ajmal Kasab and his lawyer ofcourse... I feel disturbed when during lok sabha elections they fight with each other like kids!!! they abandon the parliament like we bunk our classes...they speak bull shit all the bloody time...

I remember the US elections.....there were so many issues they discussed..so many problems they faced...there was enimity but was so sweet...they fought ,they were red and blue...but they knew..before that they were Americans...

But look at us!!! the world's largest democracy..with a million political parties...a million poloticians and a billion citizens....i feel ashamed...

I'm not ashamed of being an indian...but ashamed of being ruled by them... And ashamed of the 48-50 % of the people who did not vote... Ashamed of the shitty dirt splashing speeches.... the no-issue-speeches...And everything...

Oh god...please give me enough power to sustain this..Or give me strength to stand for the elections next time...and many people of my nation to contest in the polls and win....

holding my fingers crossed....

May 16th come soon...!!!!
