    Indian Relationships: A State Of Anarchy

    July 18, 2011July 3, 2024
    6 Comments

    Don’t we all know a guy who promises the world to every second girl, believing correctly that she’ll keep it to herself because, it still isn’t done for a girl to admit that she’s been with a guy? There is nothing to check him from repeating the same over and over again in future relationships.

    The day before yesterday, the boy mentioned Google’s latest product. Yesterday, the newspaper carried an article and I tweeted asking if anyone knew when it would be launched.

    Mother World: Aishwarya Rai’s Pregnant

    June 22, 2011February 25, 2025

    So India’s contribution to otherworldly beauties is pregnant. My first thought was that it wasn’t either parent who announced this news but the grandfather (and indisputably the more famous Bachchan).
