Oscars, nike ads and Deko
Marty sure deserved this one! Although The Departed winning the best picture was a surprise. I was rooting for Little Miss Sunshine. Having watched both Pan's Labyrinth and The Lives of Others, I must say Del Torro's film deserved an Oscar for its sheer imagination but the winner wasn't too bad either! By the way, Jack Black was right: Helen Mirren, at 61, is kinda hot!
Nike's new cricket ad has burst onto the scene and is deservedly winning a lot of praise. Reminds me of Nike's rugby ad, "Keep The Ball Alive" only, this one's better, way better. Here's Rediff's take on the back story for the new ad(its got the dough on the cool Konkani song), youTube links Follow:

Now onto the bhat section: Deko Maharaj, whom you all will get to know shortly and very intimately, has served some classic bhats in our internal emails. I'll arrange them and post them shortly! Till then here's Deko @ Orkut!(Requires Orkut login)

The Starting Bell
Just to let you know, in the very unlikely case that someone has actually reached this page, this is an experimental attempt at blogging and hence there are no guarantees regarding its proper maintenance or posting regularly. I'll try and be more creative. But the operative word is try!
A small note on the name: If you are from Bengal or are familiar with the colloquial form of the language, the name needs no introduction. For the rest, adda is equivalent to a gathering of friends for spending some quality time and bhat is bullshit at its purest with none of the negative undertones. Very simple definitions, but as with most Indian cultural concepts, a proper translation into english is not really possible. Will keep posting on this.
Till then, thanks for reading till this point.
