Pardon me for offending your sentiments (through the above snap) in case you are one of the two people who have filed a case against Padma Shri winner Akshay Kumar and an unknown female actress. Strangely, in a country of a billion people, we only have 2 asli mards (real male .. a male without a complex part .. no pun intended) who had the keen eye to spot this. The first being a certain Mr. Anil Nair :
A Mumbai-based social activist Anil Nair filed a written complaint against the trio following which the police initiated an inquiry on whether to lodge a complaint against them. Satisfied with the police action, Anil Nair said he knew law would take its own course.
and the second is advocate Virendra Kumar :
Virendra in his complaint said that he was ashamed watching a TV show on April 2 where Akshaya Kumar while cat-walking on the ramp, had got his jeans unbuttoned by his wife.
Hats off to them ! Err .. on second thoughts, put your hats on. No obscenity please.
Meanwhile, another case has been filed against the whole team of Mahabharata and a ban has been sought on the holy book for an alleged obscene scene involving Draupadi and Dushasana. This case has visibly irked both Pandavas and the Kauravas.
The Pandavas, who by the way are now 9 in number due to caste reservation issues, were angry that the ban was not sought earlier allowing the whole world to know about their stupidity. The Kauravas have also increased in number and I can only speculate that they are now 552 in number. They too were vocal in their disappointment, the most of which was Dushasana, who feared his name would go off Google search if not for that incident.
Dritarashtra was unavailable for comment as he was excited about his new Tata Sky connection, Sanjaya was sulking having just been laid off and Gandhari had left to get a facial done.
Which leaves Draupadi, whose very bold comment cannot be published here for fear of offending sentiments and raising quite a few things (eyebrows included).
To know how this saga ends, keep visiting this blog.
Meanwhile, in another remote part of India, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna are being revered as the incarnate forms of Draupadi and Dushasana respectively.

LOL!
Nice work, Valmiki..
Err.. or was it Ganpati?
Never mind, they’d both be running away for fear of being sued over having written it!

@Manasi : Valmiki was the narrator, Ganpati was the writer.So in this case, I am both.
Anyway, thanks.
@Manasi : You should be ashamed of yourself for not knowing that it isn’t Valmiki but Maharshi Veda Vyas. I am embarrassed that I have such readers on this blog. He was the narrator, Ganpati was the writer.
Anyway, so in this case I am both. Thanks.

Correction: Ved-Vyas was the narrator of Mahabharata. Valmiki wrote Ramayana.

Anyways, I am still looking forward to “modern mahabharata” by “modern veda-vyas/ganesha”

Actually, we seem perfectly fine with highly suggestive and provocative lyrics and dance moves as long as they are performed by an item girl, but just one “Empty Monty” (Fully clothed Male Entertainer) unzipping partially is a problem

@Krish : What is worse is that it wasn’t even a partial unzip. It was just an unbutton. Yes I have seen the video quite closely [:)]
Next we hope to have a law to arrest people with their fly’s open.
