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!

Kissing is overrated.

Yes. Kissing is overrated. Think about it. There is just about too much brouhaha (wow….finally I got to use the word)… about kissing these days….and to think that people have been kissing for ages. What is it about kissing that gives rise to so many controversies? So I have tried to do some research (which really means I googled a bit) and have tried to understand some of the kisses that come readily to mind…:- Judas Kissing Jesus:- Legend has it that Judas, to finger Jesus to the Roman soldiers, kissed Jesus on the cheek. Its strange bordering on yickee… Either people were really weird those days or someone made this up later. I mean, think about it, if you wanted to finger out a person you would probably ...well..use your finger and point at him…or maybe if you wanted to be discreet just make that meaningful movement of your eyes….or if you really hated him…throw a stone…but kiss him…who would do that? Now moving 2 thousand years forward:-- Gere-Shetty : So much have been said and w

Anil Kapoor's 24 ....slow, boring and .... Stupid....

Well Jack Baeur need not worry. Anil Kapoor's Jai Singh cannot hold a candle to the American. Slicker than usual production values and outdoor shots do not give you 24! Have watched the first two episodes.....it is no different from Bollywood style action mixed with sentiments. ....with a little more polish. The action is laboured, the sequences sometime verge on the comical. ( he actually gets a confession from his boss by injecting him with some lethal poison which finally is revealed as glucose...  In a gun fight in a cinema hall.....playing hide and seek with shooters,  Kapoor with Anupam Kher in a forgettable cameo, walk in front of the fully lit screen..asking to be shot..and thank fully Kher does get shot!..) The dialogues are predictable and like in most Bollywood movies....too much of it.  The least they could have done was a smart script.  But maybe I am being unfair, I cannot compare a serial to a movie. Finally that is what Mr Kapoor has done, make a masala

Mamata for President

Who is the best president we have had so far? C'mon, this one should be easy.... Giani Zail Singh of course. Just for a moment think if the venerable President Z (puns galore!!) could become a cult figure at a time when even telephones were a luxury and well, for porn you had to go to a video library, what an explosion of fun we would have had if he was the President now, in the age of social networks, and photo and video editing tools!! He spawned a thousand jokes, the populace hung on to every sighting of his on our black and white news shows. Unfortunately, he isn't quite around to run for President anymore. But there is one politician who can fill in if not for anything else but for  the sheer entertainment value she provides. Since she has proved a disaster in every other aspect, we should have her in a place where she can do minimum damage. Now which is a high visibility zero impact government post, the President of India. I propose Mamata for President, Pr
