How well do you know your logo?

I’ve always loved this particular type of quiz where you are shown a logo and asked to recognize which company it belongs to. Earlier, I used to get spreadsheets which used to have logos on them, and when you print in the right answer you get a point for that,.. but this one goes a lil’ further. You are given 6 variants of the same logo and are asked to identify the correct one.

I was quite disappointed to see that it took me 4 attempts to recognize Google’s logo.

Hot Pants and Mini Skirts to be made legal…

.. No, Not in India. But, in South Korea.

Now I understand why the other TOI survey said that South Korean men have sex the most number of times per week (4.5). You see the connection ?

If listening to him was not enough..

.. Now you can sing, drink and wear Himesh Reshamiya. The nasally opulent singer has launched a school of music, clothing line, and a music cafe.

So, the next time you see a young man with a stubble wearing a long black jacket and a baseball cap singing aashiq banaaya aap ne with a cappucino (probably.. himecchino..or reshamocha) in his hand.. you know where he is coming from.

(B)ad Flavour

I totally agree with the Censor Board of India when they say that they want to ban the ads of the flavoured condoms (DKT’s XXX) which are currently being aired on television channels. I would say “Why only during the day? Ban it completely”

It has happened atleast thrice so far that the ad has come up when I have been watching India play the Champions Trophy matches with my folks at home. To add to the already miserable feeling I am undergoing seeing India loose, this lewd ad does not even allow me to sit comforably in the living room. It feels so awkward sitting with elderly parents and staring at the TV when the lady asks “What is your flavour of the night?”. Apparently, the product comes in 3 flavours.. Banana, Strawberry and Chocloate.

And why are the company officials saying “The flavoured condoms were not meant to promote oral sex, but to encourage couples who do not like the smell of latex”. I thought flavour was more to do with taste and not smell.

Girls pounce over boys here..

If the title of this article caught your eyes.. Yes, it’s true..Welcome to Lebanon.

The NY Times reports (registration required) that with a female to male ratio of 5:1 in Lebanon, the girls are finding it very difficult to meet the perfect guy.


Samir Khalaf, a professor of sociology at the American University of Beirut, said the scene astonished his American colleagues. “They are just shocked,” he said. “ ‘This is Lebanon, the Middle East?’ they say. They can’t stop talking about all the belly buttons, about all these highly eroticized bodies. You see it everywhere here, this combination of consumerism and postmodernism and female competition.”


Since there are not many jobs in Lebanon for the youth, most of them head westwards and when they come back home with deep pockets and high spirits, the holiday welcome is gratifying.

“The demographic reality is truly alarming,” Professor Khalaf said. “There
are no jobs for university graduates, and with the boys leaving, the sex ratios are simply out of control. It is now almost five to one: five young girls for every young man. When men my sons’ age come back to Lebanon, they can’t keep the girls from leaping at them.”
