Your choice

The last time when I updated this space was in March. It’s been a month and a half and lots of things happened during this duration. Now we know that the alternate professions of Member of Parliament includes smuggling women and kids to other countries (courtesy Mr. Babubhai Katara), we know that Mr Narayan Murthy is a terrorist (courtesy his Anthem statement), we know that Sachin Tendulkar is anti nationalist too (courtesy his cake cutting ceremony in WI) and we know that even Mandira Bedi is not a patriot either!! (This time her saree (and not the blouse) with the flags of all participant nations in WC).

Now we know that the next big thing in cricket are Ireland and Bangladesh. We know that the reasons behind Gilchrist brilliant innings of 149 in WC final were not his capabilities and potential but the squash balls inside his gloves and most importantly we know that we cannot get AIDS if we kiss a girl on stage who is not remotely HIV +ve (courtesy Mr Gere and Shilpa Shetty).

Probably the only thing we still don’t know is “Who killed Bob Woolmer?” Don’t worry; Jamaican police, Pakistani Police, Scotland Yard and London police, Mumbai Police, chinchpokli Police are investigating the issue.

And during all these days, I was badly missing updates on Rakhi Sawant. Finally I stumbled on a few video clips on Youtube where she appeared on Kofee with Karan. Poor chap was so nervous during the whole show! It was a welcome respite from all those sauve gentlemen and sophisticated ladies. The lady was shooting from the lip, from the hip and from whatever she was able to shoot! Her take on Mika was the best.

Not much updates from my side as the only thing that I am waiting for now is a 15 day visit to India in June. It’s been 8 months here now and its high time to recharge the batteries.

Anyways, I have got a new room mate here in UK. He is as close to Paresh Rawal in ‘Judai’ as you can get in real life. Remember his question marked forehead? Same is the case with this guy. Be it anything, from weather to cricket, from mayawati to balram jakhad , from cameras to laptops, for everything he has his questionnaire ready and suddenly you find yourself helpless in that barrage of questions.

On top of this, he doesn’t even breathe without looking for the auspicious occasion. Thanks to him, we have got that panchang wala calendar in our flat now. Although I already have 57 hilarious incidents in the last 15 days involving him,here is one which takes the cake.

He ordered a laptop from Amazon and got it on Thursday. Panchang was checked and it was declared that Sunday is the auspicious day to start the laptop. Next thing, he was found playing with his laptop just after 2 hours of that statement. I asked him whether any planet changed its position so drastically that Thursday has become auspicious now in a matter of 2 hours?

His reply was legendry…

“No, I am not logged in as ‘administrator’,I have logged in as a ‘guest user’. So,this login doesn’t count”

Talk about manipulations!!!

Cheers…
