Headlines : 1st December, Friday

The rains are over and its back to being hot in Chennai. People were sweating like Greg Chappel answering questions at a press conference.

As we all know, the Indian team has been performing miserably in the current tour of South Africa. And just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, they just have. Thats right!!! Dada is back in the team folks!!!!!

The selectors reasoned that Ganguly's experience would be invaluable to a side underperforming and losing badly so far. Of course. When it comes to the question of consistently underperforming, no one has more experience than Saurav Ganguly in international cricket.

Moving on. It just keeps getting worse for Sanjay Dutt. He has now been arrested for desecrating an Ambedkar statue in Kanpur.

Kidding. As if it’s that simple. Sanju bhai has been convicted in the '93 Mumbai blasts case. The Judge ruled that he was guilty of pocessing dangerous weapons but he was not a terrorist. Same thing they told Dick Cheney after the shooting-his-friend-in-the-face incident.

Dutt was caught being in pocession of an AK-56 rifle and a 9 mm pistol, ammunition and several hand grenades. He argued that it was all merely for self-protection. Really? Who was he protecting himself from? North Korea?

Sanjay Dutt has urged the TADA court to give him lesser punishment as he was the sole earning member of the family. He has my sympathies. I mean, the man has a daughter, 2 grandparents and 14 terrorists living in the cellar to feed........cut him some slack here !!

National Security Advisor M K Narayanan revealed to the media today that most of the terrorists involved in the 7-11 blasts have escaped to Pakistan already. We have Sanjay Dutt in custody. That’s the good part. But the others are long gone.......

Big news. Shah Rukh will be the new host of the popular game show KBC in its third edition next year. Of course, the show would now be called K-k-k-ka-Kaun Banege Crorepati.....hehehehehehe

Kaun Banega Crorepati, eh? The answer is pretty obvious............ Shah Rukh Khan, who else? He's going to sign a multi-crore deal for sure. The participants - their situation is a bit iffy.

Sports. Did you read about this? Doping tests will be conduced on Chess players participating in the Asian Games in Doha this week. Well, I don’t see what’s the harm. If you are stupid enough to use performance enhancing drugs for this sport, you shouldn't be playing chess anyway.

The Britney divorce. It now emerges that K-Fed was having an affair with a porn star a month before the pop princess filed for divorce. And when I say porn star, I am not talking about Britney's new-found buddy, Paris Hilton.

A worrying trend. A study conducted by the University of Southern California reveals that one in five American parents believe their kids are spending too much time on the Internet. Worse yet, 4 in 5 parents took part in this survey online.

Nice idea about doping... so these guys do not know what to look for.. but they will continue looking for it anyway ? Maybe they should call in Rummsfield... "we know where they are.. inside outside up down.... believe me.. we know they are there.. "
