A tale of two Birthdays:

26^th September saw the birthdays of 2 exceptional men. On this day Prime Minister Manmohan Singh turned 79 and actor Dev Anand turned 88.

MTV India’s facebook status for Dr. Singh’s birthday was perfect for the scam hit PM: “Today is our Prime Minister - Manmohan Singh’s 79th Birthday! He has to blow out 79 “Scandals” on his Birthday Cake :P”. The PM made a special wish before blowing out his candles. He said, and I quote, “I strongly condemn this act.” Am kidding of course, because Manmohan Singh never says anything.

Dev Anand is probably the only actor in Bollywood who could count grandmothers, mothers and daughters to be his fans. Even though he has now reached an age when his years have to be determined more by carbon dating than by memory, he still retains a surprisingly youthful look, which makes many think that he may secretly be a vampire, much like Edward Cullen. But on a serious note, I really wonder why he doesn’t appear in more wrinkle-lift and age-reducing cream ads?

 

Shoaib ‘Chuck’tars got some balls

A few days ago, Shoaib Akhtar released his autobiography. You know its a Shoaib Akhtar book when its a got a title like, “Controversially Yours.” After overcoming the initial shock of realising that Shoaib actually wrote something, you begin seeing how apt the title of this book is. In the book Shoaib has admitted to ball tampering and said that Sachin Tendulkar was afraid of him and was not a match winner. Sachin may not be a match winner but by making such claims Shoaib has surely shown, beyond doubt, what a loser he can be. So sensational have been his claims that he’s made himself trend on twitter for three straight days, which just goes to show controversy sells. I can see the Indian News Media nodding in agreement.

 

What’s Happening at MTV Digital?

MTV India Facebook launched a fun contest on the 26^th which went along the lines of :

“Do you want to be the FEW CHOSEN people at the YASH RAJ studios on September 28 for the music launch of Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge with the cast and crew?!

Then tell us what original line you would use to ask a boy/girl to make fraaandship with you on Facebook?! 
Mail it to editor@mtvindia.com with your Name, Address, Contact no and Subject: MFK”
