A marriage, love and hired help

I have been away for a while. And in a self-flattering kind of way, my apologies to those who noticed.
A few things have been happening around the world.

A Marriage
Mr Al Zahrani from Taif, near Mecca “A 100-year-old Saudi widower has married for the third time — to a 26-year-old woman”. Read full report.
As in most marriages it was a family affair with Mr Al Zahrani’s descendants numbering, hold your breath!! - 120 all trooped in to check out their new Mom/Grand Mom/Great Grandmom.
My heart goes out to Comrade Zahrani who has found it in him to touch base with the young lady a fourth of his age. May the almighty give him all strength so that he may rise to the occasion when push comes to the shove (pun intended). Considering his wife is only 26, I wouldn’t wish him god-speed though, as it may be doing his wife a disservice.

I get the feeling that the wise Al Zahrani has really thought this thing throught. The propaganda of some terror groups suggest you get 72 virgins in heaven if you die a martyr. Now it is conceivable that Comrade Al Zahrani’s initial sexcapade with his new wife may also be his last, you know….at 100 you are not really pumping at the same rate as you were 75 years earlier, I am talking of the heart you pervert!!
So what if, serving the cause of the old to remarry, the respectable Zahrani fails to measure up on the fateful night and tries to bite off more than he can chew, or you know, find the 26 year old too hot to handle and becomes a martyr? Well it gets only better. He has 72 virgins lying in wait, who cares for one 26 year old any more. And since you do not die in heaven he can actually eat his pie and have it too. Hat’s off Zahrani , you da man!!.

Woman stuck to toilet for 2 years:
“A 35-year-old woman who apparently spent two years in her boyfriend's bathroom in Ness City had become stuck to the toilet seat, authorities said Wednesday”. Read full report.
Now I am sure you have read this report. I really have very little to add. But it does provide absolutely awesome material for a Bollywood movie.
It can be yet another blockbuster love triangle under the Yashraj banner. With Saif Ali Khan playing the doting and dutiful but deeply in love boyfriend, Katrina Kaif as the torn between love and nature’s call girlfriend (she will be really good as her expressions of intensity can be interpreted as anything ….urgent nature’s call, lovelorn, sex kitten….the audience’s indulgent imagination is the only limitation). Of course the casting coup of the century will be the actor playing the toilet.
This is the character will really grow through the film and emote a whole range of feelings. Starting with a deadpan expression (or is it dead pot?) to slowly developing a jealous attachment to the girl, to actually growing onto her and making himself inseparable from the girlfriend, all the while giving the impression to the existing boyfriend that he is nothing more than white porcelain.
The fact that he is surgically removed subsequently and dies at the end adds to the pathos. And there is only actor who can emote such a broad range of expression. Our very on Badshah of Bollywood - SRK.

Hired Help:
"In March 2008, The New York Times reported that he was a customer of a prostitution ring under investigation by the federal government. On March 12, 2008, Spitzer announced his resignation as governor of New York, effective March 17, citing "private failings" Read updated report.
My heart goes out to the Guv. Here’s a guy who has had a sterling career till he became governor of New York. He was much applauded for his last assignment as Attorney General. In stark contrast, his Governorship has been a long struggle and a few

dissappointments over the last 14 months. He may have decided to let off steam and engaged the services of a certain Ms Ashley Dupre, who, mind you did not come cheap at USD 1000 an hour.
While Ms Dupre’s one-night stand (the stand part should not be taken literally) will take her to fame and fortune like she never could have imagined, the poor guv shall fade into oblivion fordoing what thousands of other men are doing everyday. Ofcourse the guv can take little solace from the fact the his taste in women will be more appreciated than ….Hugh Grant?
Unlike the Guv, Comrade Grant is really well past that misadventure and has already gone from strength to strength.

  1. ...about Al Zahrani, Spitzer and Hugh

    Rudyard Kipling said it all in "The Ladies" :))

    I've taken my fun where I've found it;
    I've rogued an' I've ranged in my time;
    I've 'ad my pickin' o' sweet'earts,
    An' four o' the lot was prime.
    One was an 'arf-caste widow,
    One was a woman at Prome,
    One was the wife of a jemadar-sais,
    An' one is a girl at 'ome.

    Now I aren't no 'and with the ladies,
    For, takin' 'em all along,
    You never can say till you've tried 'em,
    An' then you are like to be wrong.
    There's times when you'll think that you mightn't,
    There's times when you'll know that you might;
    But the things you will learn from the Yellow an' Brown,
    They'll 'elp you a lot with the White!

Five signs that you are growing old!!

I vividly remember a conversation I had with one of my long time friends when I was 27 years old. Me -“Imagine J, it seems like we were in school in just a few years back, and now we are 27” J – “True. Somehow 27 does not seem so old, but 30….man that will really mean death!!” Well, much water has flown since that conversation….30 has come and gone and it has not yet been a disaster. Yet, the other day when I spent sometime in café Coffee Day with some colleagues from a former employer, I could not but feel old looking at the milieu around me. So here’s a truly depressing game you may want to play….. list 5 things that you have noticed of late that tells you that you are growing old ….do not mention your age, it is for the reader to guess , within a range of 5 years ( eg : 15-20, 21-25, 26-30 years etc). No matter which age range you are in, the truth is, you are growing older….can you guess my age from the list below:- My top five: 1. You go to café Coffee Day and feel out of plac...

Amir Khan at IIM - Bangalore

A colleague of mine informed me that Aamir Khan was playing badminton at IIM(B) . Big deal!!! But then I thought, it is less than a couple of minute's drive away...and let's face it...Amir Khan is a bigdeal!! I have been reading in the newspapers that the Super Star and some of the cast and crew of Three Idiots were camping at IIM(B). So here was my chance. I grabbed my camera and started off. True to its reputation, the couple of minute's drive on Banerghata Road proved a lot more than that with heavy traffic on Saturday night. Infact it was a big night at IIM(B) otherwise as well as there fest is going on. Using my contact, and showing adequate at outrage at the poor security guard manning the side gate for trying to stop a Professor. ... (my act of outrage actually provoked a stifled laughter from my colleague) I reached the badminton court and clicked away many a photographs and a few short videos. Obviously, now I feel to bashful to show it around to my colleagues ...

News Wrap

Here’s a quick wrap-up of some of the more interesting happenings in the recent past. The Chinese New Year is the Year of the Rat and Malaysian women developed a taste in a particular type of linen. "Malaysian Chinese women are snapping up red panties with mouse motifs for good luck as they prepare to usher in the Year of the Rat, a news report said on Sunday." Read full report . First things first, what’s with the Chinese new years……last year they had the year of the Pig, this year the year of the Rat!!! Are there no better animals? I mean a pig in any language would serve as a fairly all embracing abusive word, and rat….that certainly cannot be flattery whether you are a Chinese or an English man. Should we not expect a year of the Tiger or at least Dragon!! Ofcourse with my usual objectvity and broad-mindedness, I find nothing worng in Ganesha’s vahana (consort) ….now is that a rat or a mouse? And let’s move on to these Malaysian women. A mouse motif on your inner-ware?...
