My! Should you ever meet you in person, I hope I'll have forgotten most of this list, or else I'll be paralyzed for fear of saying or doing something you hate...

Well thanks (your name), it was refreshing going through your blog. can you post more saas/bahu bashing? please be specific about ekta kapoor, coz she's churning soaps as if on an assembly line.

here's a small list of things i don't like (am too lazy to put up my own blog and post them there:) ) -
1) ekta kapoor
2) Buddha Babu, for not keeping his word, and doing things based on his whims and fancies (the Maidan affair)
3) Mamata
4) my crappy job, working my ass off for the bloody americans (hope the CIA doesn't turn up at my place for this)
5) the way things are in India, dictatorship is the answer
6) keeping the rest to myself

Things I hate - Addendum:
1. Random visitors to my blog who think I have no life but to post idiotic ekta kapoor serial reviews. I don't watch TV dude and when I do, I don't waste time on idiocy. If people like you stopped watching those serials, the TRP ratings would go down sooner or later.

I think you could have saved time by writing : 'I don't like men' and 'I don't like people'
