And so, four more years for the Elephant.
Quoting myself: "I lay odds on Bush extending his tenure." For once, in a long long while, I am disappointed that I did not bet on this one. Anyways, Congratulations Mr. President.
As afterthoughts, the two contestants have concurred on the view that the nation is too divided. Now c'mon Platos, you offered them two choices. They either go here, or there. And that is Complete Division. And you sit back and discuss to come to this conclusion? If you did not have anything else to talk over phone, then keep the damn thing down and carry on.
Here is an example of height of joblessness. There was a mock election conducted in Chennai - oh I forgot to add, mock US ELECTIONS. 161 voters, who were better off at the Bahamas, exercised their invaluable franchise. And an overwhelming victory for Kerry. There are a gazillion problems in India and they venture a "mock US election". Shoot them I say. Shoot them.
One for religious fanaticism. Or glowing imbecility. A man in Taipei sauntered into a zoo and caught up with two lounging lions. Mission: "Operation Proselytize Lions".
The daring man stood right in front of the lions and with open, inviting arms, shouted "Jesus will save you!". Oh yes, the lions are still safe.
Such preposterousness would have deftly been averted back at my hometown, because
1. People are more sane and level-headed.
2. There is no zoo.
On second thoughts, that brave man should have been better off with "Lord save me!"
And I wonder if lions understood english!
Talking of which, reminds me of college. Presently NIT Trichy, our college was an epitome of secularism. We had minimal basis of differentiation - Northies, Southies, Girls and Cows.
And cows understood little english. They understood words like 'no','please' and 'bullshit'. But they have problems with sentences. Try saying 'Please no bullshit' and they always get it wrong. And hence our hostels stank.
A bit of advice here. Never go anywhere near a bull's girlfriend. Unless you are sure she also has something for you. Because later, shouting "No No, she is like my sister!!" does not help.
Getting back to religious fanaticism, it appals to see such bizarre ventures. Firstly, I detest proselytization. If you have a religious belief, keep it to yourself. As simple as that. Most of the times, the simplicity of thoughts of the lions, is the key to peaceful living. Ok, enough of philosophy.
Soft Porn is not really a secret affair anymore, or was it anytime?!. I was perusing through the Times of India today. Viewers rush : look at the last page. Hmm...Have u come back????
Serena Williams sizzles, doesnt she? Now blame someone : Her designer, her, the photographer, the editor of the Times of India, or the viewer.
As even I belong to the last category, I can safely opine that the viewer is not to be blamed. We are all simple innocent souls.
The print media is heading for the ditches.
Oh, that reminds me. How many of you followed the Madrid Masters Tennis tournament?
Enough enough, put your hands down.
Next question : Why did you all follow the Madrid Masters Tennis tournament?
Unanimous Answer : It Simply Rocked
"I think it is important for our sport to understand its product clearly, and I'm not quite convinced this is part of our product," Agassi told reporters after a match in which the umpire had to remind a confused ball-girl to return to the side of the net.
"It was difficult, to say the least, to concentrate on the ball, but I suppose I had an advantage -- I'm used to playing with my wife (Steffi Graf)," he added.
Maybe Agassi had difficulties concentrating, on the ball. But I had none - the match was that engrossing I meant.
Which leaves me with one thing to plead for:
"Lord Save the lions, the media, and tennis balls"
