Jai Ho - Who Am I To Review

I love Salman Khan :)
I hate when people call him only "Salman" man where is the respect?
Jai Ho has an amazing moral and you know what so many people got a small role because of Salman bhai :) Genelia, Yash Tonk, Nauheed, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ashmit Patel etc etc :)
I din't like the Gujju Shah girl though.. and Suniel Shetty with the whole army came in with the tank on the road... kind of illogical ..
The vibe at cinema hall was mindblowingly amazing and positive and electrifying...
Did you like the movie?

Peeing In Public - Let's Not Do That!

Dear Men,
As much as I appreciate you there is one thing that bothers me a lot. Please understand that opening your pants and switching on that golden shower in public is not at all a cool thing to do. It stinks! I mean literally. Have you seen a women doing that? Well we are equals then why don't you feel that burden of 'shame' when you do it? When kissing someone, showing someone love and affection is not considered to be a very moral thing to do, why is peeing okay?
