Blocks People Have

Off late, we have been suffering from this strange churning feeling in our stomachs when we think about creating a new PJ. You would appreciate that creating a Poor Joke is a tough job. And it becomes all the more difficult when we have to maintain the low standards that we have set for ourselves. I guess we are suffering from our own version of "Writer's Block". We call this "PJ Block".

On brooding over this problem, we have realized that there are many varieties of blocks around us and a lot of people suffer from them. Here is a quick list:

1. Mahendra Singh Dhoni: He who was known to knock the leather of the ball earlier, has off-late developed this habit of blocking every ball that he gets to play. He suffers from a strange kind of problem known as, “Batsman's Block” .

2. Mamta Banerjee: She has been suffering from “Rail Block” disease for a number of years, which manifests itself in her numerous "Rail Roko" Andolans. Now that she has received the Railway Ministry we sincerely hope that she comes out of it!

3. Himesh Reshamia: This aspirant (because one needs an Aspirin after being close to his music/voice/acting/face) has been suffering from “Nesal Block” over the last few years, which results in his highly irritating nesal voice.

4. Baba Ramdev: Unable to come up with any more modes of Pranayama except for the 6 basic styles, he is suffering from a “Yoga Block” . Helplessness against this block has made reverend Baba shift track to politics, juice, shampoo, soap manufacturing etc.

5. Vodafone : The white ghost like creatures have made watching TV a headache off-lately. The last series of the advertisements lack the creativity which was earlier evident. The ad conceptualizers have admitted to be suffering from “ZooZoo Block".

6. Manmohan Singh: He suffered with "Left Block" for 4.5 years in the last govt. And now he is having to deal with "DMK Block".

7. Emran #Me( Hash-Me) : Rumors have it that his next Bhatt Camp movie will not have any kissing scene. It means that no kissies for the poor chap!! He will be suffering from “Chummi Block” for a few months to come.

8. Indian IT companies: With Obama hell bent on his "Buffalo before Bangalore" policy, Indian IT companies are now having to deal with "Outsourcing Block".

9. BJP: With the internal wrangling for replacing Lal Krishna Advani going on in the party, the BJP is suffering from "Leadership Block"

10. Shahrukh Khan: With his last film "Billu" bombing at the box office; his team KKR hitting rock bottom in the IPL; him not getting many new offers for ad films; and 3 months to go before the Wedding season begins in India again, King Khan is suffering from "Money Block"
