    Especially regarding the pre marital sex.

  6. Well saving you the effort of referring to the main list, no numbers here!

    # 74% of the people who happen to look at their watches at 12 o'clock in the presence of a Sardar follow it up with a glance at the Sardar.

    # The time spent by a guy with a beautiful wife looking at her is 0.5%. Remaining is the time spent by him checking out whether some one else is checking out his wife.

    # 21% of the newspaper readers wonder which 'page 3' do others keep talking about.

    Absolutely original stuff! that's what i like, observations devoid of any cliches'. Soopraa! :)(in addition to the first two which we already discussed!)

    "I write cliches of tomorrow" could be our punchline! :D

    Fantastic writing!!

    Loved the points on jeans, B-school students subscribing to ET and BS, guys buying popcorn for their girlfriends and guys claiming to have loved Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia et al.

    Btw, you can add 68% of people starting to read Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children never complete it, and a similar percentage of people claiming to have loved FountainHead never got underneath it!! And yes, I am honest enough to admit I fall in the majority in this case :)
