In Hindi movies, there is this very very oft repeated and cliched line...
Mein Zindagi bhar Intezaar karoonga....

What exactly does this mean? That the guy/gal is prepared to wait a lifetime for something/somebody. If you look at it in chronological/logical manner, it just doesnt make any sense.

At the end of this "Zindagi Bhar period", the guy/gal is gonna die. One he/she dies, then he/she doesnt exist and well, whats there to wait for? So is there any point in waiting? U might as well ditch waiting and be happy and look at newer frontiers, other than wasting your life for somebody who, at the worst case, will come only after u die!!!!

Another oft repeated and cliched line not just in movies, but in real life too, is an elders aashirvaad to a married woman. Now what I say here is gonna be a bit controversial so steel yourself.
"Sada Suhaagan Raho"
There are 2 cases where a married woman can be Sada Suhaagan
1) She dies before her husband. So does this mean the aashirvaad is actually a way of wishing for a shorter lifespan for the woman?
2) The husband dies, but the lady is no longer married to him. In this case is the aashirvaad is actually a clever guise for a wish to destroy the marriage?

There is a third case too.... which epitomizes the the 3rd very cliched line in Hindi movies "Jeeyenge saath saath aur marenge saath saath". But the probability that the blesser is actually wishing for this is a poor .33333 as compred to .666667 for the other 2 cases put together. Think about it!!!!

Well, I guess the last 2 posts had an overdose of humour, so to compensate I have wrapped this post with an overdose of seriousness!! People, who are scandalized by this post, phorgive me, and other who are willing to debate are most welcome to leave their /* */'s !!!
