ON THE LIGHTER SIDE....
After the Olympic flame had been carried by 'Who-is- Who's' flame and 'Who's Who' of the Sports World, here are a few points on the lighter side:
# 1. ROSES INSTEAD OF BRICK BATS.....Hum bhi ab Mantri huuu, Paaaavar me huuuu!!
Somebody celebrated his 56th birthday, and God knows what got into him, a couple of days earlier on his way back to Patna from Delhi by train, he made surprise visits to the calm, lazy-laid back stations on the way including the Delhi station and suspended officials for not bieng in their place and doing their work. He now has also introduced 'Kulhads' or earthern cups at canteen stalls on railway stations including Mumbai and they seemed to have become an instant hit, the only worry being, they should not be reused again and again. By the way this picture reminds me of the Bollywood actor Sadashiv Amraopurkar who used to play real sinister roles of corrupt politicians trying to rape innocent girls and ladies. I guess that was much before Laloo appeared on the scene, but the get up was similar....lot of hair on the ear pinnae (due to the dominant Holandric gene :)), the peculiar hair style (probably a trade mark of Bihar) and the typical 'banian' (vest) that he is wearing.
#2. Whooaahhh!! Is This Perestroika??
Any guesses?? Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and Bianca Jagger, ex-wife of Mick Jagger greeting each other at the 'Women's World Awards' in Hamburg, Germany!! Pretty neat Uhhh???
#3. CULTURE POLICE...
Then again our Ace Culture Bull-Dog, Mr. Pramod Navalkar (pardon my comparison) created a stir in the Legislative Council when he pulled out a gelatin stick, a detonator and a timer from his bag and demonstrated how easy it was to assemble a bomb and flaunted a liquor permit issued in the name of our late, Honorable Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Chief minister 'Shushil' Kumar Shinde was on the verge of becoming 'A-Sushil' and was totally red with embarassment. The Bull Dog surely knows his ways!!
#4. A Thanks-giving note in the Times of India Personals section says
~ I hope St. Jude got the message!! :-))
#5. And finally....A 65,000 dollar question!
WILL THEY or WON'T THEY??? And if you answer it right....I am not the sponsor ;-) But anyways she is so amazing!!
