Scarty and her wonderful World

by Shanker Bakshi 30 December 2007 Ramblings

Hardly a couple of months back I learned a new word Pinoy. Wiki define Pinoy as;
Pinoy is a demonym used by Filipinos for their compatriots in the Philippines and around the world. Filipinos usually refer to themselves informally as Pinoy or some times feminine: Pinay, which is formed by taking the last four letters of the word ˜Filipino and adding the diminutive suffix -y. The word was coined by expatriate Filipino Americans during the 1920s .....

Funny Fillers for your posts

For me country music is a music genre in which singer Bobby Cash sings. I don’t recognize any country music singer other then this incredible Indian Cow Boy, people love to call him by this name.
Born in Dehradun, India but there is no one I guess in Australia who don’t know about bobby and his music and there hardly only few people who know him back in his own country.

Merry Christmas to one and all

When A Child Is Born
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass, when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You got the feel, you’re on solid .....

by Shanker Bakshi 21 December 2007 Ramblings

Today is Govinda’s birthday. He has worked in 120 movies. In 2004, Govinda joined the Congress party, and was elected to the Lok Sabha, the lower House of Parliament from Mumbai with a thumping majority. Happy Birthday Govinda.
These days he is concentrating more on his bollywood career working hard to build his body trying to gain the same old fan follow-ing. Am very desperate to hear from his constituency community how much he has contributed .....
