2009 - A Re-cRap

They thrilled you... They made you angry... or made you cry out in agony/ecstacy/elation/frustration... you loved them... you hated them... but never forgot to follow them... These are the people who made 2009 stand out in one way or another... They are...

The CRAP-makers of 2009

Obama swears solemnly at the swearing ceremony and then swears profusely the sorry state of affairs of the country he was handed to run. And less than 9 months into being president, wins the Nobel Peace prize!!! Leaves everyone including your's truly stumped... Aren't Nobel Prize nominations made in March or so.. and Obama swearing-in in Jan... WOW... in 3 Months flat... that must be a lot of peace.. BUT WHERE??

Good old Manmohan Singh (aka MMS) re-elected as Prime Minister and struts in the glory of an almost complete majority with the following background score playing everytime he walks in to the parliament

Pagdi ko thoda sa oopar chada k..

kaan mein reliance ka cell phone daba k...

Meira se kar rahe baat...

Sushma ko leke saath..

chal pade manmohan Axe deospray laga k!!!!

Sonia ka patta kata reeeeeeee!!

Tera kya hoga Mamta reeee!!

Coming to sports... India started off with a bang in 2009 defeating New Zealand in New Zealand... but then kinda fizzling out with an unceremonious exit from the T20 world cup.

Meanwhile Sachin completed 20 years in International Cricket... and is pipped for this by transient team-mate Karthik with a freak 4 when Sachin was on 96 with 4 runs to win after which Sachin was quoted saying that he's a cricketer first, an Indian second, a Maharashtrian third, and a curly-haired short man with a high-pitched voice fourth. Riots erupt in Mumbai after curly-haired short men with high-pitched voices believe Tendulkar to have insulted curly-haired short men with high-pitched voices. These mobs are led by goons who aren't necessarily from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, Shiv Sena, Sri Ram Sena or Sushmita Sena.

Moving to other sports... in a world class display of Just in Time concept, the main stadium forthe track and field events for the Delhi Commonwealth games was completed as Sheila Dikshit gave her opening speech... and merely few minutes in time for the first race... Move over Japan... India rules the roost in Just-in-Time!!!

OWWWW I'm getting bored of maintaining this taxomnomy.. and now on am going to write as it comes to my mind... be it Poly-Ticks... Sports or anything under the sun/moon/table or anything else!!!

Last year GHajini this year 3 idiots: result Hit?? Nah.. thats not the point... Controversy... both films hit by "Copy Copy Be Happy" allegations. Excerpts from Rendezvous with RIMMY Gire-baal

Chetan: Its absolutely true that I allege the 3 Idiots team has stolen 80% of my 5 point someone (does that make it 4 point someone)

Aamir: No no.. we havent stolen more than 60% of the book thats why we are left at 3 out of 5

Rimmy: But why all this allegations??

Aamir: Publicity... last year both ghajini and that south indian film saw increased revenues after the controversy... same here

Chetan: yeah absolutely... why wrack your head for another book when you can get more publicity with an existing one... plus the sympathy votes :D

The year has seen a landmark judgment by the Delhi High Court that decriminalised gay sex between consenting adults. The verdict ruled that the existing 150-year-old statute from the British Colonial era prohibiting homosexual acts was discriminatory and therefore a violation of fundamental rights under the constitution. The judgment was welcomed by the gay community and they held unprecedented rallies. All this after Vishy and Mahi are seen exchanging rings in dec 2008.

Trust our icons to set an example!!!

Inputs from Neha... don't sue me for this CRAP

Did Michael Jackson die of a heart attack or a drug overdose? The iconic singer with a bizarre lifestyle was known as Jacko and the controversy behind his death was completely Whacko

When he was alive, he was accused of child molestation and what not. Well, he came out clean; but people didn’t spare his dead body. They said that the body that was shown to be buried was an empty coffin, MJ’s heart was not buried with him, it was not MJ at all and such. Huh, marne to do bechare ko aaram se!

India's progress in space research received a major boost this year, when it's lunar mission Chandrayaan-I discovered traces of water on moon. And then ISRO lost contact with the craft and claimed "Chandrayaan Lost in Space... MISSION Successful"

Now comes Shrikant’s favourite Rakhi Sawant. Tell you a secret? Rakhi is going to marry him only. So why was he not on the Swayamvar show. Well, knowing her, it is not so difficult to believe this people. Just to maintain her image of Drama Queen, she selected that Eelesh fella. Now he is going to be the babysitter; thus the practice in another reality show where he was shown taking care of the babies and Rakhi was throwing tantrums

BTW, Obama became president on jan 21st, and nominations close by end of feb...so not three, but one & a half months flat

P.S.: Wishing everyone A CRAPPY New 2010!!!
