India, myself and the contrast......

Hey!!....Im back.....aha! I found time to blog - not that I was too busy - just that I cut down on my Orkut hours :D.

Much water has flown in the Vrishabhavati valley [does it still exist??] since I last posted. A father-son duo have held the whole state at ransom, a young Indian team from smalltown India [As Mr.Sardesai puts it] has conquered the world[sic]....Asia Cup is ours.....heard our neighbours grumbling abt the poor umpiring, the number of Indian Idols has increased [well someone once said India is a land of Idols...or was it Gods???] and now even the dignified Mr.Anand expects a gala welcome....

And yeah brighter things too......sane sense had prevailed upon the judiciary......STRIKE AFFECTS PUBLIC LIFE...wat else did we learn in 60 yrs?? Atheism has come to aquire a new meaning....There are doubts abt Mr.Ram's engineering degree.....heck!...even if he didnt have one...he was better than most of today's PWD engineers. 123 Agreement has got a 1023 opposition...n still counting. Inflation has come down....oh has it???...the onion still brings tears to my mother's eyes. People seemed to have forgotten Ms. Shetty and her silly antics....public memory is still short....

Ramaiah is bigtime into robotics [chuckle..] My comp is equally enamoured by a few viruses.
There seems to be change everywhere...for good or bad..but still a change....but yours truly is still the same ol' guy - the same ol' Gandhi for the not so Gandhis, the same ol' idiot for the Geeks......Well, recently Mr.P, a school buddy was surprised to find me in T-shirt n exclaimed...."Oh! u wear a T shirt also??" huh...So wat does tat say?? Well I wanted the last line to be the topic of this blog...but got carried away by other socio-politico incidents.....anyway all that in the next blog.....hopefully.....

With due regards to Shwashank Redemption n Mr.M ( who seems to have patented this line)

Fear can hold you prisoner.....
HOPE can set u free.....n thats wat I solely depen on.....
