Pinky Nagpal

Delhi Radio is extremely repugnable. They play miiiiitwwwaaaaaa atleast 11 times in a day. And they have a 'traffic reporter' named Pritampura/Pathpadhgunj ki Pinky Nagpal. I dont know if this woman travels to different parts of the city to report traffic or is it that the radio station is so dumb that it cannot think of names of actual people who might do it and keep repeating pinky nagpal thinking that people would concentrate on the 10km/hr from janpath to safdarjung's tomb and not notice this name again? Either way, it confuses me, does this lady get paid by radio mirchi to get stuck up in traffic at different locations everyday and pointing out speed radars to measure the flow of traffic?( I dont mind getting paid for doing that!) Or is just that radio station people in delhi are destitute of creativity that they cant find good and genuine names? D'oh!

We live in a time of pseudo seculars and pseudo philantrophists. Abu Salem gets offered a ticket to contest elections in UP. Lets see, Kofi Annan is about to step down, kill Tharoor, let Osama have his post. And I hear people on news channels saying the memons are being framed because they are muslims. How does it matter if he is a tiger memon, menon, singh or fernandes! Hang the pussy and his clutter!

I dont understand people.
Instance #1 : I once helped an old man who seemed to be blind to get off the bus and go to haji ali. He bumped into people and got ugly looks and a earful for it. I felt how incredibly stupid those people were who could'nt see that the old man was blind, but it was only later that i realised that the timeless hero was bumping into women only!
Instance #2: Middle aged man accosting me, dressed neatly and not looking poor, claiming to have been kicked out of the house, telling me he is homeless and blah and "please son, i stand in front of the house of god, give me money" blaah. Remebering instance 1, i decide to just walk by and then realise he is accompanied by an old lady . The nice me decides to be nice and give him some money and then the nice me sees the big bottle of whiskey in his bag.Dont know how many more he would buy from contributions from gullible fools like me.Buhh.

English is a funny language and i am not talking about if g-o is go then why isnt t-o toe.
1. Words mean exactly the opposite of what they seem to be
restive : it describes a condition of being anything but at rest!
2. Words sound similar, but mean a hell lot different.
vindicate,vindictive
Why make such words! Stupid bulldogs!
3. Sigh.They have a word for such innocent mistakes too. Howler.
4. They conviniently make people whom they dont like into words e.g. Quisling, gerrymander,philistine etc.
Lets make words too.
Dyer: To massacre
"Arre, i got totally dyered in the vivas man!"
Lampard : To endlessly miss your goal(pun intended..twahah!)
"He is 40 and still lamparding in life ."
harrywindsor : To grope
"Karan Johar and Manish Malhotra were seen harrywindsoring each other in the party."
pnagpal : (Mind the pronounciation, the P is silent) Idiot.
"Hahaha! You are such a dumb pnagpal!"
