Deap posted his rant on the naming of Indian movies. Here is mine (those intellectually sensitive are hereby warned). I am pretty sure Shakespeare had no idea what a few intellectually challenged can do to a name. For your reading pleasure; your's truly could not resist the temptation of adding his own feedback - italicized.
1. Ek Chalis ki local train (tera movie le ke jaayegi)
2. Khanna And Iyer (Producer and Director)
3. Kya Love Story Hai (Khood hi tareef karega ya phir audience ko bhi kuch bolne dega)
4. Good Boy Bad Boy (You could have added Ugly as well from where you stole Good and Bad)
5. Khallas (The name sealed the movie's fate)
6. Life in a Metro (Must be a documentary)
7. Pangaa Na Lo (Audience ke saath)
8. Say Salaam India (Ok!)

Staying away from Tagged.com emails!
Alright, I had other things I wanted to blog about, but then this seemed imperative and hence its here. This has been pestering me for quite some time to warrant a rant (nice rhyme, eh!).
Lately, for a month now, I have been receiving this emails from Tagged.com representing folks I know. I went through the standard invite emails (all spiced up with a ready-to-serve guilt trip if you didnt accept the invitation) and resisted hopping onto another social networking bandwagon. I am already on a couple and am having a hard time staying loyal to either of those.
So, for a little backgrounder for all those who have been spared this invite or have been resolute enough like me not to give in and press the Yes button:
1. You receive an email from a person you know saying s/he has Tagged you :)
2. When you open the email, here's what you see. I have removed the name for obvious reasons.
3. You dont respond to this and you are served up a fresh reminder every few days!
Fortunately, I have not gone past this. And so, I really can't say more. However, I came across a couple blogs who have been bitten by this and I definitely didnt want myself or my address book participants to go through this. Feel their pain here:
http://shiftlessmind.com/2007/03/22/taggedcom-sucks/
http://dotnet.org.za/thea/archive/2007/04/09/i-hate-tagged-com.aspx
So, in conclusion, for all of you nice folks from whom I've received these mails, I just want you to know that I love you, I am your friend, but no, I wont say yes to this glorified, twisted spam.
Phew! With a clear conscience, I'll now go and delete all those mails from Tagged.
