Passion For Cribbing

I'm kind of late to this party and this has been DesiPundited an' all, but if you haven't read it yet, now is your chance to bemoan the lack of standards and integrity in the Modern World.

The back-story:

Film-crazy blogger-filmmaker goes to a film festival and runs into Quentin Tarantino. Lucky bastard (the blogger, not QT). Then he (again, the blogger, not QT) blogs the encounter/conversation on a blog called "Passion For Cinema". Meanwhile, somewhere in the hot, humid bowels of Mumbai Mirror, sits a "film critic" called Subhash K. Jha...you know the rest of the story, don't you.

And now the links: DesiPundit, Passion For Cinema and no, I'm not going to link to that piece of crap newspaper here.

i wish the man lifted stuff more often. his (non-plagiarised) column is sprinkled liberally with "As Ash once told me..." and "I was the first one Lolo/ Bebo/ Jumbo called when...."

more power to his copy-paste function!

LOL@Big Wave. You may have a point there.

Patrix: Eh? Oh! No, no, Punditji is not desperate at all.
