Bodoland People's Front

Bodoland People's Front is a political party in India. In the 2009 general election, Bodoland candidate Sansuma Khunggur Bwiswmuthiary was elected to the lower parliament of India. Probably because his last name was so fun.

The Indian government has many political parties. Often I wish my own government had more parties. Though we have many small ones, only two have any say. Sometimes it feels like the game is rigged.

That's why I am going to start my own political party. That's the beauty of my country. I can do that. I am going to start my own political party, and it will be called the Awesome Party, and we'll have a slogan, and a logo, and a philosophy, and a vision.

And we'll have legions of supporters who will cheer when we say things and boo when our opponents say different things.

And everything will be fine.


Our chairman.

Pop Carn (2003 film)

Pop Carn (2003 film) was an Indian Tamil movie from 2003. It starred a Malayalam actor named Mohania. This is the first time I've ever heard of Malayalam. I like it. I like saying it. It rolls off the tongue so nicely. I can't stop saying it. Malayalam.

Malayalam describes a certain group of people who speak the Malayalam language and originate from the Indian state of Kerala.

Pop Carn was a giant flop at the box office. I can't find a website to translate "giant flop" into Malayalam.


Extra Extra. Pop Carn is a bad movie.

Bhuteshwar Temple

Bhuteshwar Temple is a temple in India dedicated to the god Shiva. It is surrounded by water.

Water's great. I drink as much of it as I can. If I built a temple, I'd surround it with water too.


Shiva looks tired.
