    There are two love stories that progress in the Wake Up Sid. And these two love stories can not be given any first and second order ranking as they both happen simultaneously.

  • Sorry Ma, I saw WUS…
    Guru Devo Bhava October 2nd was a holiday. Being a dry day, I asked my ma, what to do, where to go? She told me what any South Indian mother would. “Just a few more moths in Bangalore, why don’t you go to Mantralaya?” I said OK. Nothing could be worse than a ‘dry day’. Man, was I wrong?

  • Raj Thackeray – Get Well Soon.
    Quote: A few months ago Shiney Ahuja was arrested for allegedly raping his maid. Yesterday Karan Johar apologized for being raped. His rapists have emerged triumphant. In our law books there is punishment for physical rape. There is no law for raping our freedom of expression. There is only triumph for the rapists. Bravo, Raj Thackeray. You are a master rapist. :UnQuote Nine...

  • Luck By Chance – A Tautology
    Francis Voltaire has this famous quote to his credit: Chance is a word devoid of sense, nothing can exist without a cause. I too believe in it, quite strongly.

  • Why Is Dostana Still Bothering Me?
    Karan Johar recently said in an interview to a city daily that he pushed the envelope with Kabhi Alvida; he wants to tear it with Dostana. This isn’t the first time he has expressed a desire to break from his own moulds.
