Surely You Gotto be Kidding Me !

A hot day for the students conducting anti-quota protests in Delhi. Poor guys. They were sweating like Rafael Nadal ahead of a grass court match.

Here's an irony. To protest against the 27% reservation announced by the Govt,, doctors and medical students in Delhi are planning for a 'Civil Disobedience' agitation tomorrow. Not much has changed in India since the 1940s. Its still a Gandhi who inspires the 'Civil Disobedience' movement in the country.

More on this so called 'Civil disobedience'. So basically what they are going to do is : The doctors in Delhi are going to be unavailable to attend patients, students are not going to attend college, AIIMS faculty members are going to take mass casual leave, and most sections of the general public are not going to obey the Govt...............To be honest, I don't see how this is different from any normal day in the lives of these people. Why hype it up by giving it some fancy name? Might as well refer to it as Monday.

Hear this. The new Iraqi President has given a statement that his forces would have Iraq under total control by 2007. In Siachen, Manmohan Singh has stated that he has a vision for a prosperous and peaceful Kashmir................So who says that politicians dont have a sense of humour ?? Based on these statements, I am confident that these two can very well plan for an alternate career as a Stand-up comic after politics :-)))

Speaking after the round-table conference in Siachen, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that the government has come up with a 5-point plan to build a New Kashmir. I have my own doubts whether the plan will work. For instance, the first point in the plan says - " Distribute free CDs of the movie 'Roja' to all the terrorist groups and hope for the best ".

The Government has prepared a draft proposal to bring amendments in the existing Registration of Births and Deaths (RBD) Act. According to this, Indian citizens can change their name only once in their lifetime. Viruguppi Venkata Sai Laxman better get it right this time around. He will have no more chances.

The new American Idol has been crowned. Its Tom Hicks, the guy from Alabama But here is the stunning part. More than 63 million votes were received to decide the winner. 63 million !!!!!! It is more votes than any American President has ever received in an election. Amazing. After the show, President Bush congratulated the winner Tom Hicks and wished him the best for his future.
( P.S. : Not many know this since there were a total of 3 reporters at the White House pressroom at that time.)

With more hurricanes expected this year, the US Govt. is working on giving evacuation drills to the residents of New Orleans. Its been a pretty simple process so far. Assuming that a fictitious Hurricane 'Alicia' is about to hit the place, the drill begins when the Mayor of the city comes in a jeep and shouts at the 5 people still left in New Orleans -" Were you guys always this stupid? What the hell are you still camping in this place for? Get your asses in the jeep and lets get the hell out of here !!!!". And then they drive away as fast they can. Federal authorities are reportedly satisfied with the preparation so far.

Nike and Apple have become running partners. I-Pod now can display and record your speed, distance, pulse rate and other parameters. This data can be uploaded into i-Tunes to track your performance. Next in pipline - Apple and Viagra to become sexual partners.

IIMs and IITs are apparently clueless about the proposed government increase in colleges to offset the 27% reservations for OBCs. Hardly suprising for insititutes who were clueless sometimes about their entrace question paper vanishing from the printing press.

India may have to risk playing Yuvaraj for the 4th ODI says an headline. Arent they already taking the risk of playing Kaif?

Sania Mirza underwent a shock defeat in the Istanbul WTA II tier tournament. Isn't it time we start dropping the preffix shock before defeat and add it before win ?
