yes! 10 months since the last post,
mr.k has ended his hibernation..it was tough to end it, as it was extremely difficult to find a topic to blog about..so the attempt here is to give a reader a bit of everything
thats caught
mr.
k's eye since the last post..
1. hard not to start with the absolutely ridiculous statements by
mr.bush and ms.rice..both of them have been recently quoted saying the global food crunch is due to better diet patterns in
india and china..mercifully
usa is electing a new president end of the year..and yes its quite ironic to see that "the most stupid quote on Rice" has been made someone whose name has "rice" on it
2. since we talked about the upcoming presidency stakes in
usa earlier - it would also be important to point out how ugly the fight has been between the democrat candidates. its no holds barred - punch and
counter punch..don't know who would be the last man(woman) standing, but it sure makes for interesting "race"
3. and obviously this year - different kind of races are going to be held in
beijing - talking about
olympic games coming up in the next few months. its already attracted enough publicity with the
tibetan protesters disrupting the torch relay to catch the attention of many
4. among the attention of many, no one more significant than the
chinese authorities. for first time in sometime, china is holding talks with the
Dalai Lama to discuss "autonomy for
tibet"..it does look like china is facing the heat.
5. hot, hot, hotter - we aren't talking about any woman here. we are talking about the increasing temperatures and the global warming
thats happening around us. for everyone, when you get time - do grab a
dvd of
oscar winning "an inconvenient truth" by
nobel winner
al.gore. quite insightful
6. from insightful to "In-Sight-Full". none other than the king-khan. from
chak-
de to
paanchi pass to endorsements every 1 hour to item numbers to the big-daddy of all -
IPL. He sure is keeping his fans -
santoosht and connecting people.
7.
ipl - what is it?. simple -
indian Provocation league. in here, its all too simple. a billionaire actress hires a millionaire cricketer who provokes another millionaire cricketer who in-turn slaps him and the guy who provoked starts crying provoking million people to call for action ...and the story goes on..and its quite interesting to note that
sreesanth vs
bhajji was also
wadia vs
ambani :)..whats with people named
modi..they always seem to be associated with some provocation or other..
8.
ipl -
indian premier league. they do play cricket to earn their millions and to an extent some of the cricket played has been exciting and yielded surprising results. the finals could very well be "
rajasthan vs
mohali"..would that not be a huge contest. the surprising royals with "
hollywood"
warne against the
punjab da puttar -
yuvraj..it would be a huge match - a royal match..
9. the other
yuvraj is also setting himself up for leading the nation..he has been everywhere and quietly stepping up to the throne, and his sister who has an aura about her
thats just so intriguing isn't far behind..she visits her father's killer to make peace with violence. interesting/very interesting..no wonder the kids mother was in the time influential people list
10. one list leads to another..mr.k's list of interesting movies..first -
jodhaa akbar - a decent movie that one can watch purely for
Hrithik Roshan. he is just a "class act". another movie that is "not to be missed" is "the prestige" - absolutely gripping movie about two magicians obsessed with their obsessions..totally compulsive watching the ultra-suave and ultra-talented Hugh
Jackman..but the movie of the year was the absolutely simple yet brilliant "jab we met"..little did
shahid know that
kareena was talking about her meeting
saif.."the here becoming zero"
11. and the heroine becoming size zero, well yes ms.
kapoor's ultra stylish new power yoga driven look that has become the talk of the entertainment industry..alas her "
tashan" hasn't got everyone on her side..
12. and how many zeroes is worth the mansion
mr.
mukesh ambani is building in
mumbai..plenty since its gonna cost him 2 billion..quite interestingly, our PM
mr.
singh made a remark about how the rich
indians are living a lifestyle that is not reflecting the state of
india..seems to me that he doesn't have too many listeners..probably talking in
italian would have helped.
13. got married, changed jobs, living happy..and tomorrow its "thank god its
monday" , so lets stop blogging and get to work before a pink-slip stares down on us..
