I have been more or less a home bird during the past few days. I got a chance to catch up with news on the telly which ranged from interesting to hilarious.
Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif’s 'B' sample has also tested positive for dope. They said he is planning to appeal. Personally I think he will be better off suing the company making those performance enhancing drugs. I mean, despite taking the drug we hardly saw any enhanced performance from him during the IPL!
There was good news from the Olympics yet again and the whole country was celebrating except the ATS (Anti Terror Squad). They were a worried lot with medals coming from Shooting, Boxing and Wrestling! Vijender Kumar is a disappointed soul though despite his bronze medal. Bipasha Basu had promised him a hot date if he got gold! I wonder what might make Sonal Chouhan go out on a date! If you don't know who she is check out the heroine of the movie aptly named Jannat!
Yesterday was one of those rare occasions when one saw Ratan Tata fretting and fuming. When Lord Amarnath could not enjoy peaceful possession of land allotted to him in J & K it is not surprising that mere mortals like Tatas are having problems with land allotted to them. Seeing the hundreds of protest banners its easy to understand how mamata got her last name "ban(n)er"jee! However, it is not easy to understand how Ratan Tata intends to solve the issue. Instead of long drawn negotiations the best way to solve the problem is to call the car 'mamata' instead of 'nano'. This is sure to placate her and massage her ego. Come to think of it the nano does have many similarities with mamata. Its small, its cheap, its for the masses and it’s a bit roly-poly as well! A few dents and bumps once its on the road and it’ll be a perfect match!
It’s the weekend afternoon and I’m off for the Gokulashtami celebrations. With loads of goodies to hog and a muffin tummy to avoid its not going to be an easy task.
