Kya hai AIDS ka AID??

Inse miliye.. The favourite disease of the 21st century popular culture.. Fatal and incurable.. and yet not feared as much as it is supposed to be.. The disease that inflicted Tom Hanks in his 1993 Oscar winning role in Philadelphia.. The disease that's got a day in December dedicated to it's name.. The disease that has an IPod nano hue set aside for itself.. Sexually transmitted and socially undesirable.. If you havent guessed it by now.. you definitely fall under the high risk category by virtue of ignorance alone!! Yes of course.. We are talking about AIDS.
The doctors give us a set of remedial measures to prevent it, the Psychologists give ways to deal with the mental stigma, the sociologists worry about what Society in general has to do with it.. But this time it's the turn for our Phokat Janata Party to give a credo. What do u think is the ONE big Aid for AIDS.. Not the disease alone, but the global phenomena.. Abstinence? Suicide? or Man's Oldest Amusement?? What's your vichaar on this matter.. Let us know pronto!!

Welcome!

Welcome to Phokat Times.. If you are still wondering what the fcuk it is.. lemme explain. Phokat Times is a fun magazine. We have had enough of our Phoktai, now we want to plague everyone with this deadly disease!! So here is the soft version to give you a taste of things to come.. The real two page magazine will be out very soon for the extremely good fortune of all our Bhopali friends. It has style, it has fun and a lot being said with the aid of these two. And to top it off, the first issue is ABSOLUTELY FREE..

So, as I have been saying, my revered Phokat Friends, just wait and watch this phenomenon called Phokat Times wipe you off your feet. It's addictive, It's brash, It's crazy, and it's coming straight for you.. so watch out!

"Pee"nalising public walls...

Dimag pe hai tension!
Ab na hota retension!
Burst na ho jae bladder!
Nothing could make me gladder..
Bas dikh jae ek wall..
Aur karoon main "water fall"!!

A lot of people take public walls to be Public lavatories, kaun kharche ek rupiya gaana sunte sunte jharna bahane mein.. Deewar hai na!!.. And if not that , any nook or corner. Any gali , naala, bechara ped, or construction site becomes an apt location for emergency urination. And most of us.. (at least those of the superior sex), cannot deny having borne the guilt at least once in our lifetime, can we?
Like one firang, who seeing such a water fall at work, asked the "pee"naliser..."Police nahin pakadta??", only to get a pretty logical reply of "Nahin, yahan sab apna apna pakadta hai..", I am surprised why the hygienic Indian clan, that washes rather than wipes, and doesn't even shake hands with one another (!!!???), find such an unsanitary act so inscrutably easy to perform!
So tell me my phokat friends... why is it such a guilty pleasure?? Is it really that difficult to "Suppress the feeling", or is instant gratification too easy to attain in our motherland?? Tell us what our Phokat Janta thinks about this...

PS: If our curiosity wasn't enough, let us also tell you that you might get an "Attractive Prize" (lol!!) if your response is Phokat enough for our taste!
