German bakery bomb blast has shocked Pune

Being a student in Pune I know very well what German bakery meant to Pune. It was a hot spot for tourists especially those who come for the osho ashram. It was also a very cool hang out spot for college students. I’ve been there a couple of times and the atmosphere there is unlike any other place in pune, the majority of the customers are foreigners, very good looking ones. The working staff is also not Indian so  one has to speak in English.

My friends loved the food there, I couldn’t eat much as I am a vegetarian. But I still loved the place for its ambiance and crowd.

The blast that occurred yesterday at IST 7 pm or so was just shocking for the Puneites. At first I didn’t believe it. When a friend told me that it was bomb blast I laughed at him explaining to him that it was just a cylinder blast and that no one was seriously hurt. But then as we saw the news we realized what had happened. 8 people had died on the spot and there are many in the ICU. It’s a shocking incident as Pune is usually considered to be a safe and quiet place, it’s a very popular place for tourists. But this incident has drastically changed the image of Pune for tourists. It’s valentine’s day today but students instead of enjoying at their favorite hang out places, are sitting at home, watching the news.

‘Kuku Da Paratha’ Delicious yet affordable Indian food

I had first gone there for my friend’s birthday party and I fell in love with the place. I was never a fan of parathas but Kuku’s changed that for me. It’s not a lavish restaurant, it’s a simple food joint on DP road Pune.

So what is so special about Kuku’s? It’s the parathas! They’re thick, tasty and nutritious. They have a variety of parathas available. My first paratha was Aloo Cheese Mix which tasted a lot like cheese pizza. But the best of the lot is kuku special paratha which has almost everthing in it from chole to corns, from methi to cheese.

The parathas are served with dahi (curd) and green chutney. They taste best with dahi in my opinion. Ever since my childhood I have had parathas with ketchup, but having them with dahi was a great experience.

The parathas are priced at Rs.50 to Rs.65. That’s not very pricey considering that one paratha is equivalent to one large meal.

If you’re not into paratha’s you can try the thali at Rs.50 or Chole Bhature or the Palak Paneer combo. Also try the large lassi.

If you ever visit Pune don’t forget to visit Kuku’s.

Indian Women With Beautiful Thick Hair

Miley Cyrus does some stupid myspace poses

Her show is annoying. I can’t stand her singing. She dresses like a stupid skank. And why the hell is she pouting her lips out like that? It looks so obvious and pathetic that I can’t get over these pictures.

The sad part is that many young girls who are seeing these pics posted everywhere are bound to get encouraged to pose with the kissy face and peace sign.

Here’s an example of kissy face + peace sign FAIL

I’ve heard some girls say that it’s cool to pout and make duck faces because it makes them look cute and sexy  well I say… WRONG! It makes you look like a stupid slut with extremely low self esteem.

I know that many horny eleven year olds would hate me and would go on to say that the kissy face with peace sign pose is extremely classy but I’m not writing this for horny eleven year olds anyway.

End of rant.

But [Huh Huh Huh, it says 'but'] Virus!!!

Question: Some weird virus has infected my internet explorer. I don’t know what to do. Whenever there is a word like but, long, job, dick etc. in a sentence, there turns up this bracket eg: “but not for long ” becomes “but [this says 'but'] not for long [Hee Hee, it says 'long']“

To make things more clear, I performed a google search for the word “but” and this is what turned up:

When I search “sex”, this is the result:

It’s very irritating and not funny at all. Can anyone help? I’ve run Ad-aware and AVG but the problem is not solved.

People With Three Nipples

Mark Wahlberg has three nipples. He’s done some shirtless Calvin Klein ads but you can’t see the extra nipple because its always airbrushed. I don’t know why they did it, is it something to be ashamed of? I’m sure the ad would have got a hell lot of attention if there was a guy posing with three nipples in it.

Famous people with three nipples:

• Mark Wahlberg
• Anne Boleyn (second wife to Henry VIII of England)
• Carrie Underwood
• Masuimi Max
• Lily Allen

I’m sure more people have three nipples but no one talks about it. It looks like a mole anyway so people don’t see it as a nipple unless you tell them “dude look at my third nipple”.

If you have a third nipple don’t be ashamed of it, and please and I mean pahleeez don’t get surgery done to remove it because you just lost a part of you that made you so unique and fantastic.

Why Women Like Tall Men

Hear it from real women >>

• I like tall guys because I think it’s sexy. Also, I wouldn’t want to date someone who is the same height or shorter than me.
• I like tall men because I am tall myself
• I like tall people because they can reach things in high cupboards for me.
• I like a tall guy because I just like tall and I feel safe.
• I like tall guys and it’s because I’m about 5′1, and a tall guy is something different.
• I like tall men over 6″ because im a tall girl i need to feel a little protected.
• I do like tall men, maybe because I’m small myself!
• I like meeting tall people because we ROCK!
• I like tall men because at my height and my build, a tall man makes me feel petite.

Indian Social Bookmarking Sites

Here’s a list of the popular Indian Social Bookmarking Sites:

Humsurfer

IndianPad

NewsCola

Newzly

IndianBytes

So I tried most of these sites and observed that how many of these actually work to your benefit and get you hits.

Best of the lot: Humsurfer

Works very well, registration is simple and quick, no hassles. A story I published got 8 stamps in 24 hours and gave me about 100 hits.

Runner Up: IndianBytes

Neat look, good site design. Promising site.

Worst of the lot: IndianPad

Definitely the most popular site but is filled with ads and spam and is really boring. Did not get much hits or votes.

Miley Cyrus is a great perv magnet

Who was she trying to impress with these pictures? I know the issue is getting a bit old now with new, more revealing, more racy pictures surfacing but seriously, something is terribly wrong with this little girl and her family.

What’s more scary is that there are so many young girls who idolize her, buy her merchandise and want to be like her.

After these Vanity Fair pictures were out, the ratings of the show further slided, and its quite explainable. Who would want their kids to end up this way?

Miley Cyrus is not a bad girl, she’s just a girl with poor self esteem who is just looking for some attention. Myspace is a great place for such teens to come together and compete for attention.

Parents who think that their kids are safe out there on such sites are mistaken. Pictures posted on Myspace spread like crazy, kids are often sent suggestive messages by strangers and the worst part is that there are thousands of pervs out there who’d want to “make friends” with young teen girls.

We’ve seen plenty of Miley pics in underwear which were sent to her boyfriend, again, is this normal? She’s 15 for crying out loud and in no way I find this behavior acceptable.

Realities of stereotypes about India and Indians

So you’ve heard plenty of things about India and don’t know what to believe and what not? Or are you traveling to India and don’t know what to expect? Well then you’re at the right place because here’s a post that’s going to tell you about the real India.

Here are the stereotypes:

• Indians cannot speak English. This is a tricky one and it would depend on your location in India. In metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi you’ll find that most people can speak fluent English but the scenario is completely different if you go into inner parts of India or a remote village.
• Indian food will make you sick. Again, this would depend on where you’re eating. Never eat on the streets or in open stalls. The food may be tasty but eating in open places is a total no no. Its not just about the flies and diseases when it comes to eating in India but also about spicy food which can often cause an upset stomach in people who are not used to such spices. I’ve had acidity plenty of times after eating spicy food. Its always better to ask the waiter if the dish is spicy.
• Its not safe for women. This is not true if you can take a few precautions. The lifestyle in India is definitely not the same as in other parts of the world and you need to know what’s okay and what’s not. Most tourists get stared at or there are cases of people troubling them because they stand out in the crowd. Buy a few Indian clothes or wear simple jeans and tees. Don’t go out in a bikini top and a mini skirt. Preferably, go sightseeing with someone and not alone. Avoid going alone at night especially at parties or at the beach.
• Its dirty. If you go to Indian villages you’d see that they are simple but not dirty. May be they don’t have all the modern facilities but they have a unique freshness about them. Its just the modern cities of India that are a bit messy.
• People are uneducated. No they’re not. People in cities are highly educated and take education very seriously.
• There are cows running around on the streets. That would be a very rare sight if you’re in a city. This is a stereotype which was true may be a couple of decades ago.
• Its all about the Taj Mahal. Even though Taj Mahal is a beautiful work of art but thats not what India is all about. The truth is that most Indians haven’t seen the Taj Mahal. There are thousands of tourist destinations in India and to describe them I’d have to create another blog. So stop believing that the Taj is the ultimate tourist destination in India.

I hope you found this helpful.
