Hrithik's best compliment

Was watching Koffee with Karan yesterday and there was a question to
hrithik about what's the best compliment he had ever got. And he says
that a bunch of girls had messaged him saying that "long before Dhoom 2
climaxed they had...". He says that with a straight face.

I am not surprised. The man has got it!

Valentine's Day....

Yeah, yeah, we  all know the crap that this day is. No, this is not Shiv Sena type crap I am talking of. No moral posturing here. Only financial posturing, if you may say so. Me and my wife(moslty because of my influence) would like to believe that this day was deviced by cards, flowers, jewelry, chocolate, lingerie makers and restaurants to make a killing. Don't know how many acknowledge this fact. But the figures aren't very forthcoming on the enlightenment front. Every year the bash keeps growing bigger. Maybe, If Shiv Sena had angled their protest in this way, there'd be some visible decrease we'd have seen.

Anyways, I have come to one conclusion after something that happened on 17th Feb(a good 3 days after the V-day): Don't get fooled by the "Don't buy me anything" blabber. I guess anyone who's married for long will vouch for it. It's a language with many dialects.
In some dialects it means: "Don't spend TOO much on me."
In some it means: "Surprise me with what you buy me."
In some it means: "Don't buy me anything that's lasting like jewelry. But get me some token of your love like dinner or flowers." yeah right :)
In my wife's dialect it means: "It would've been nice to have got atleast a little chocolate SYMBOLICALLY."

In no language on earth does "Don't buy me anything" translate to "Don't buy me anything" :)
