Dashing the hopes of thousands of people belonging to various gay rights groups in India, Union Law Minister, Veerappa Moily did an about turn and declared he had never said he’d repeal section 377 (This section of the IPC treats sex between same sex adults a crime, even if consensual) and claimed he had been “misinterpreted”.
Health Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad came out with a really strange comment “we must have a debate… regarding positive and negative results of homosexuality”.
Maybe the government is afraid of antagonising various religious groups which are dead against homosexuality. I guess they are a bigger vote bank than the gay voters. At this rate, nothing will change till more people (even straight ones) come out in support of scrapping this ghisa-pita-holier-than-thou law.
Yahoo! The Bandra-Worli sea link is finally opening for the aam aadmi today. This bridge which took an agonising 10 long years to make and cost Rs. 1600 Crores, has made it possible to reach Worli Naka from Bandra in under 10 minutes.
On second thoughts, pooh! What a colossal waste of money! Could have made at least 16000 statues of Chief Ministers and other netas with that much dough.
Caught an interview of Rakhi Sawant, talking about her ‘Swayamwar’ show on a television channel. “Myself Rakhi” she announces “My sasural wallas are going to be very happy. Main Roti, Daal, Laukhi, Dhoodhi, Gajar… Halwa....... sab bana sakti hoon” she promises, then breaks into a song, off key....... “Bura hai bala hai jaisa bhi hai… mera pati mera devta hai”.
I’m sure this show will be a hit with Aunties.
Speaking of Annu Malik… this Sunday, HT Brunch, ran a touching story on his struggle and how after 30 years in the industry, he still does not feel respected. “Tell me, why is it that people don’t respect me?... why do they act surprised when they find that I have composed a good song?... is it the way I dress?... the way I talk?”, he asks interviewer, Mr Vir Sanghvi.
Made me feel really sorry for the guy. Maybe it’s the way he breaks into a song at the drop of a hat. Makes it a bit difficult to take him seriously then.....
What do you guys think?
