Does anyone remember that wonderful MTV (India) promo for a song request show from the 90s? I thought that old guy shouting out his pretty "reasonable" requests was damn cool. Here are some of mine then:
I want George Michael to forget he is gay for a day and I want to bump into him on that very day.
I want David Gilmour to call Roger Waters and get him to play with Pink Floyd at Pompeii. And I want to be the only person in the audience.
I want Brad Pitt to leave Angelina Jolie and go back to Jennifer Anniston.
I want to go back to Bombay in the 90s, and spend endless hours at Cafe Mondegar and Cafe Samovar again.
I want Pablo Neruda to come back from the dead and write a blog. Same goes for Oscar Wilde.
I want to get inside Stalag 17 and hang out with Sefton, Animal and Shapiro.
I want to go back to when I was 7 and kick someone in their balls.
I want an endless supply of Cutty Sark and Manala Cream.

"Hangama it" is, your blog.
What to do? I am like this only!
Like Quick gun Murugan? Mind it!
Ok now we're heading into Channel V territory. But what's there? Enjoy!
Now I have never heard about half the people you mentioned in this blog, but I too would like most of it, with names changed ofcourse..
And one request less - I dont want to kick myself in the balls. It hurts (have never been kicked but then we dont need to commit all the mistakes to learn from them)...
Keep writing, I relish every word...
I could enlighten you if you like...or you could just google those names.
Well, I don't really have balls so it's easy for me to say! But you get the idea...I'm sure you do. Ouch!!
......if only I could turn back time....
