Facts with footnotes


1988. Aamir Khan croons papa kehte hai bada naam karega. 2011, his nephew Imran sings Daddy mujhse bola tu galti hai meri …. Is this a kind of generation gap ?

100 percent cut off for SRCC (the college does not even feature in top 200 college of world) ...means no room for error. Do they actually produce machines now? 

Learning new metaphor from Dhoni. Adulteration of techonology and human errors cost us that wicket(referring to Ian Bell given not out when reviewed). What about Sachin being given not out by the same technology in world cup semi final.

Ramdev Baba's estimate of the  money to be lost if corruption is not wiped out Rs10,000 lakh crores. Who does these estimates? Ramjee ke pass sabke liye hai masala??

98 kg of Gold found at Sai Baba's home. But that saint used to take gold from his mouth in miracles. So why so much of fuss ???

Based on Bapsi Sidhwa's novel  Cracking India  (or  Ice Candy Man ), Mehta's film encompasses only half the novel. It leaves out the nerve-racking depictions of violence, rape and plunder, as described by Sidhwa. The novel...
