Aah yes.. We are back.. After a month long hiatus. We were
little busy with our family and work. We will try to be more regular. Gosh..
how long has it been since we wrote? India were number one team, Yeddi was still the CM, Reddys were ruling,
Anna was on hunger strike, Amar Singh was a free man, Diggy Raja was the
craziest politician.. Whew boy. World has changed hasn’t it? India were made to
drop their pants and given sound thrashing by Pommies. Except Rahul that is.
Yeddi and Reddy are both are going down fast. Reddy’s are already inside. Amar
Singh supposedly has mental issues, Anna is hero for few not so much for some
others.. Everything has changed. Except Diggy. He rules doesn’t he? With a
crazy heart pumping crazy blood and crazy brain with crazy thoughts and a
crazier iron fist. He rules.
What did we do last month? So many walks, won the Charlotte
cricket cup (we were MOM in finals. Ahem.) Went for a long drive to Miami and
Key West, got the house cleared of bedbugs, cooked some delicacies, watched
some movies, and worked our ass off, watched loads of TV etc. We did think of
writing but then decided not to. Don’t think we are apologizing.
We read about this Tomatina festival being arranged in
Bangalore. We were so astounded and pissed off at the same time. How much can
you try to emulate other cultures? Did some people lose their commonsense
somewhere in MG road while marching and shouting slogans for Anna? A huge waste
of money we feel. Is this organized by some morons who were “inspired” by what
they saw in ZNMD? Why waste so much money on an event like this? Why can’t they
ask people to donate the whole amount? Why
throw tomatoes at each other? What do they mean when they say “we make sure
tomatoes are not edible but not rotten”? What kind of tomatoes are they? One of
my friends made a wonderful statement. “I want to see coconutina. No wastage
only cleanup”. True. We would pay to see that.
There was also this news about Kannada movie star Darshan.
We read and thought WTF. Challenging star has become mentally challenged star. And
his fans have truly behaved like how a mentally challenged fans should. I’m
sorry but in what world is he innocent? Why would throw stones are vehicles and
protest against arresting a guy who abused his wife and kid? And Kannada movie Industry heads were even
more thoughtful. He had an alleged affair with another actress and tortured his
wife and kid. What’s the most reasonable thing to do? If you answered ban the “other”
girl from movie industry. Way to go. You can be next president of kannada movie
industry’s association. They had to take it back because of the doyenne of
Sandalwood, Mrs Parvathamma Rajkumar (Not to be confused with Hindi Daayan).
The last news we have for today is about our all time
favourite cricketer. Rahul Dravid is playing his last international limited
over match. We are sad that he is retiring. We wanted him to go on and on. But
we are going to console ourself with the fact that he can now concentrate on the
best cricketing arena, tests. He has not been the greatest ODI player. Agreed.
But is truly one of the game’s greatest because how much he has contributed to
the success of Indian team. We are going to forgive him on 2007 world cup . One
request to Dhoni. You people won a world cup for Sachin. Just win one friggin’
match. It’s his last game and Indian cricket owes it to him.
