2005
I got hold of Outlook magazine's annual issue last evening. One article from the issue, Mahesh Nair's 2005: A Bollywood lexicon had me in splits.
Some real good ones:
Abhishek (adj): the ability to succeed after you fail. Also used loosely to envy what you dismissed.
Emran Hashmi (v): to kiss, accompanied with a Pakistani hit single.
Mangal Pandey (adj): to look silly after five years.

In the same issue, NDTV's Abheek Barman has an interesting prediction, that by 2014 general elections, the Left could well emerge as Congress's main challenger.
It is possible. After all, nine years is a long time, almost an era, in politics. As long as the BJP continues to follow the RSS agenda, it would be difficult for it to emerge (again) as an alternative to the Congress. The key is to jettison the so called contentious issues and, highlight more fundamental (read: economic, social) issues. You can't fault the Left parties in this aspect.

Current music: Luka Chhupi/Rang de Basanti (Lata M/A R Rahman)
A nice song, really. Remember, Lata is 76.

Black (adj): the emotion you feel when you watch a fantastic film wherein a deaf, mute and blind girl narrates how a ranting old man taught a mentally retarded child to eat with a spoon.
This one is best..
Iqbal (v): to make films that you truly believe in. If Yashraj, and not Kukunoor/Mukta, had made this film it would have featured Hrithik as the boy and Amitabh as the drunk coach. Of course it would have been a blockbuster and replaced Paheli as India's entry to the Oscar.
And this is bestest
Rai (n): a misguided opinion that Indians are creating ripples in Hollywood.
again...
Salam Namaste (v): to salute the box office with a dumber-down version of Hum Tum, and a highly intelligent version of Neal 'N' Nikki.

On the contrary, I feel if BJP had rigorously stuck to the RSS ideology - the one that it followed upto the time it got elected into power - it would have continued enjoying power for a few more terms.
Also, the left's constant noise-making reminds me of a particular hindi proverb - "Jo garajate hain, vo barasate nahi".
When the time comes, they will be the first people to desert the common man's interests.
Well, personal opinions, but nevertheless, had to be opined. :-)
