Today must be the first day when I miss having a TV in my room. Who needs Bollywood when you have Indian politics live in your own room!
If you thought the live parliament session on TV was very good entertainment, wait till you see the news channels coverage of it! I almost died laughing!
Manmohan Singh's face superimposed on a man doing bhangra with what else but "Singh is king, Singh is king, Singh is King..." playing in the background! What great publicity for the soon to be released film! Raise your hands if you think the producers of the film have something to do with Manmohan Singh winning the vote of confidence.
Then there was the scene shown repeatedly of these members of parliament playing around with stacks of money, apparently offered to them to buy their vote, with Abba's "Money money money.." playing in the background.
I give up being cynical when I see all this, and suspend my disbelief to just enjoy the moment.
In other news, I have been annoyingly lethargic over the past two days. This was after a bloggers' meet with Perakath (I know how to pronounce his name now!), where I learned that a subtitled film after a few hours of drinking is not a good idea - and another drunken night with some friends and their friends, where I learned that the embarrassment of dancing in public sinks in only by the morning after! Never again, I said, after both.
Feels like I'm constantly hung over. I hate being useless for so long. The only relief I get from feeling crappy is my communication with professors who are in the process of helping me figure out my courses for Fall. Then there is my nephew, who is a heavenly delight with a lot of chocolate sauce.
Then there is Sunshine. I'm considering going to Bangalore to look for him - which is a completely absurd idea - but something I'm very capable of doing.
Any one in Bangalore reading this?

:) How my miss my friends back home! We would have these roof-top barbeque parties,get drunk through the night and then roam arnd the deserted streets at 4 in the morning,singing at the top of our lungs! :) Sometimes even walk along the Ganges(we were stationed at Barrackpore,which is by the river). Oh what fun times! Havent really had the chance to do anything like tht here. Maybe again when we meet up,huh? :)
Bangalore huh? I do have a friend there in the aeronautics school - is Sunshine likely to be thr by any chance?? Have to read abt Sunshine from your archives! :)
yes yes - we'll do all that when we meet ;)
Sunshine should be in Bangalore, if he is alive.
don't think you'll find any details about him in my archives - just vague mentions here and there.
i promise one long post explaining everything if i manage to find him before i go back :-/
I hope you do.. *Fingers Crossed* :)
Does two bloggers a Meet make? :)
:hugs: NC. Hope you find him before you go!
Incidentally, I have to find out how to pronounce "Perakath"
aditya - as long as there is a "meeting", and the individuals meeting are bloggers, it is a Meet - you lawyer!
suki - thanks :)
You have to meet Perakath, say his name a few times while he makes fun of your accent, and then gives you two possible pronunciations - that's the only way you can solve the mystery of Perakath!
