Namesake

Doing justice to my blog's name and my URL I am posting this. Bored at office waiting for my colleague from onsite to call, I was thinking what I should write about. A wonderful thought struck me. Why not do justice to something I had started a few years back? Why not provide a meaning to its existance? Why not scribble something. So here I go and my fingers dancing on my keyboard keys like a ballet dancer. (Ok not all that great but yeah I try to type fast intercepted with a lot of backspaces and delete keys!!!)

What is happening to this country? Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere attend a AIDS awareness function and kiss on stage!!!! The noble cause they were promoting was long forgotten and all that is being talked about is, "The Kiss". Newspapers these days have turned tabloids that there was an article saying that Shilpa was the person who encouraged him to do so. Actually no one understands that Richard was try to demonstrate what not to do. He was actually demonstrating that you are not supposed to do anything like this. What a fitting role play and the whole nation has mistaken him. Haven't you heard of this ad "Biwi se kare wafadary. rakiye door AIDS ki bimari" For all the non-chappati-kurma guys and gals it means "Be honest to your wife and keep AIDS away from you!!!!!" Ok now dont ask me about Richrd Gere's wife and the about Shilpa's ..................

Shilpa is a bombshell I agree. After that bombshell had conquered most of the Air-Time in all the news channels it is the actual bombshells that are taking the Air-Time now (Guys there are other things that are called bombs other than .............. Somethings like .... like ... real bombs!!) There are bombs bursting everywhere at such high frequencies that the News Channels have forgotten the bobm blasts that took place in Hyderabad barely a week ago!!! Already there have been so many blasts that it has become an ordinary thing in the newspapers and no one cares to read into the article. Now people read only one thing. Which place? The rest all has become monotonous. (I know I know. Talking about bombs so casually projects me like a cold blooded criminal, but come on yaar I have already explained why I am writing this blog!!!!) (Bless the soul who invented parantheses ooph!!) (Ok that lasty one I copied from a book!!!). Ok thats the end of the gappu (in Hindi), mokkai (in Tamil). Me gotta go and catch my bus.

And to all (and especially my manager, if she ever reads this blog), I called my onsite counterpart and discussed all the issues. i.e. told him that I will send all the docs he asked tomorrow!!!!!
