Hitch hiker's guide.... chalo one more book in my bucket list now 😉 Read about it while going through previous pages here...

Reminds me of 'The Thirteenth Floor' movie.... but again that movie was adopted from some other novel

Ah, now that's a movie that I'll have to watch... 😳

I was planning to find a nice poem to compliment Smita ji, for becoming our newest Goldilocks... and here is what I found: (doesn't suit the intention to greet, but quite a riot nonetheless)

This famous wicked little tale
Should never have been put on sale.
It is a mystery to me
Why loving parents cannot see
That this is actually a book
About a brazen little crook.
Had I the chance I wouldn't fail
To clap young Goldilocks in jail.
Now just imagine how you'd feel
If you had cooked a lovely meal,
Delicious porridge, steaming hot,
Fresh coffee in the coffee-pot,
With maybe toast and marmalade,
The table beautifully laid,
One place for you and one for dad,
Another for your little lad.
Then dad cries, 'Golly-gosh! Gee-whizz!
'Oh cripes! How hot this porridge is!
'Let's take a walk along the street
'Until it's cool enough to eat.'
He adds, 'An early morning stroll
'Is good for people on the whole.
'It makes your appetite improve
'It also helps your bowels to move.'
No proper wife would dare to question
Such a sensible suggestion,
Above all not at breakfast-time
When men are seldom at their prime

No sooner are you down the road
Than Goldilocks, that little toad
That nosy thieving little louse,
Comes sneaking in your empty house.
She looks around. She quickly notes
Three bowls brimful of porridge oats.
And while still standing on her feet,
She grabs a spoon and starts to eat.
I say again, how would you feel
If you had made this lovely meal
And some delinquent little tot
Broke in and gobbled up the lot?
But wait! That's not the worst of it!
Now comes the most distressing bit.
You are of course a house proud wife,
And all your happy married life
You have collected lovely things
Like gilded cherubs wearing wings,
And furniture by Chippendale
Bought at some famous auction sale.
But your most special valued treasure,
The piece that gives you endless pleasure
Is one small children's dining-chair,
Elizabethan, very rare.
It is in fact your joy and pride,
Passed down to you on grandma's side.
But Goldilocks, like many freaks,
Does not appreciate antiques.
She doesn't care, she doesn't mind,
And now she plonks her fat behind
Upon this dainty precious chair,
And crunch! It busts beyond repair.
A nice girl would at once exclaim,
'Oh dear! Oh heavens! What a shame!'
Not Goldie. She begins to swear.
She bellows, 'What a lousy chair!'
And uses one disgusting word
That luckily you've never heard.
(I dare not write it, even hint it.
Nobody would ever print it.)
You'd think by now this little skunk
Would have the sense to do a bunk.
But no. I very much regret
She hasn't nearly finished yet.
Deciding she would like a rest,
She says, 'Let's see which bed is best.'
Upstairs she goes and tries all three.
(Here comes the next catastrophe.)
Most educated people choose
To rid themselves of socks and shoes
Before they clamber into bed.
But Goldie didn't give a shred.
Her filthy shoes were thick with grime,
And mud and mush and slush and slime.
Worse still, upon the heel of one
Was something that a dog had done.
I say once more, what would you think
If all this horrid dirt and stink
Was smeared upon your eiderdown
By this revolting little clown?
(The famous story has no clues
To show the girl removed her shoes.)
Oh, what a tale of crime on crime!
Let's check it for a second time

Crime One, the prosecution's case:
She breaks and enters someone's place

Crime Two, the prosecutor notes:
She steals a bowl of porridge oats

Crime Three: She breaks a precious chair
Belonging to the Baby Bear.

Crime Four: She smears each spotless sheet
With filthy messes from her feet.

A judge would say without a blink,
'Ten years hard labour in the clink!'
But in the book, as you will see,
The little beast gets off scot-free,
While tiny children near and far
Shout, 'Goody-good! Hooray! Hurrah!'
'Poor darling Goldilocks!' they say,
'Thank goodness that she got away!'
Myself, I think I'd rather send
Young Goldie to a sticky end.
'Oh daddy!' cried the Baby Bear,
'My porridge gone! It isn't fair!'
'Then go upstairs,' the Big Bear said,
'Your porridge is upon the bed.
'But as it's inside mademoiselle,
'You'll have to eat her up as well.'

So many compliments...........stop you are making me blush.

@Nitzy: Nope. I love illegal things... watching on the net is just fine! Thank you. 😃

@Smita ji: I concede 500 of these will be "Ciao-ciao" posts, but the others have been insightful and anger-provoking. And, I also don't watch shows like Sapna Babul Ka..., so the scope for making numerous posts is rather enormous... 😳

That was a low blow blotji.
That was the second show I saw after jassi jaisi koi nahin.
And I like it 😳although lately they were hell bent on fiving Kekta a run for her money but after today they are back😃

oh yeah you don't watch sapna babul ka but Rahul dulhaniya le jayega which does test your grey matter to infinity

Indian channels have been flooded with water works.... Once in a while pirates like Rahul, Hitesh and Rakhi sail on ghost ships to entertain us with fire works.... 😛

I wouldn't mind watching old reruns though 😊

Smita ji... mea culpa... had I known that such strong emotions are attached to the show, that'd you'd insinuate me (I watched Mahajun* ka swayamvar? I only pretended to watch it...), I'd never have mentioned the show...😳😆

BTW, I watched Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin and enjoyed it while it was new. Once it became half a year old, I couldn't see the point of the stupidity that it became...

@Nitzy: I'd love to see a re-run of PB... heard a lot about it...

I quit JJKN after half a year too.
Do you know that is how IF was formed, because Vijay bhaiya was into JJKN.he used to post translations of the columbian ugly betty.
It became popular and IF was born.
It started out as a blog.
