Comments for A few of my favourite things http://kaaliyakapoor.wordpress.com This is me. In nice, cute little bits and pieces.

I agree with you that the lack of a disincentive is really an incentive, and a big gap is in the implementation of the disincentive. there are problems with all the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. our country has always been lopsided socially and economically which makes it easier for the larger population to point fingers at the small number of people who own resources. i want to blame capitalism for this but i am not sure if there are other ideologies that tackle it successfully. one thing that really bothers me is also our sheer lack of infrastructure, facilities and utilities. if there were a dustbin (which is already not overflowing) quite close by, people would hold on to the wrapper until they reach it. but this is no excuse and there is serious lack of effort from public as well. why would a politician be an angel when he is offered a bribe for small favours. they are all becoming "the 10-percent" politicians because there are people who offer the 10 percent. all of it goes into a vicious circle, the key is to pick up one reason n try to fix it hoping there would be an effect on other problems. i think we can go on and on with this debate but it wont make much difference unless it reached the ones who matter, in a language they can understand (which is apparently a weird form of economics with everything measured in a single unit of "balance in my swiss account") P.S.- Interesting blog by the way. cheers.

I mean the series is not believable. Neither were 70s Bollywood movies, both are entertaining though. :) Completely agree! I mean the series is not believable.

When I first saw it, I confronted him with the SATC for guys logic. Being the super reasonable and unbiased person that he is, he obviously denied any similarity, said the characters were more real, unpretentious and the dialogues were great. Felt like I was talking to a wall. :) Actually both of us like entourage. When I first saw it, I confronted him with the SATC for guys logic.

Get it for him and watch as you hate the show and he loves the show and nary the 'twain shall meet. It's the man's SATC. Totally implausible, ridiculous dialogue and men drool for it.
