25th December, Monday : Christmas Day Special Post

Been a while since I posted anything. And Christmas day is as good a day as any to make a comeback. We all know what Christmas is all about – celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ with your whole family by buying each other a lot of expensive gifts that will be most probably exchanged for something else the next day. I love it. Today’s post is about the gifts some of our favourite celebrities received. Read on…..

Kavya Vishwanathan: A new copying machine……..or, as she calls it, a Laptop.

Saurav Ganguly: He got his place back in the team. No more gifts for him!!

Osama bin Laden: A hardbound edition of the illustrated Koran. Bigger and better than ever. All drawings by Pope Ratzinger.

Sanjay Dutt: He was hoping for 72 virgins. I don’t know what he got. But he did not get THAT.

Mel Gibson: ( from his daughter) - 2 front row tickets to ‘The Holocaust damn well happened’ Conference to be held next week in Auschwitz.

Zinadine Zidane: ( from Materazzi) - An early edition CD of the hit cartoon show ‘Beavis and Headbutt’

Madonna: (From Angelina Jolie) - Home delivered parcel with baby Kim Jong II wrapped in cotton wool. ( with a note that read – You’re welcome).

Santhi Soundarajan: ( from the CM ) - 15 lakhs, a Plasma TV and John Gray’s bestselling book – ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, Santhi is from …………South India?'.

Rafael Nadal: ( from Federer ) - A brand new ClayStation 3 gaming console where Wimbledon is played on clay.

Michael Richards: Membership to Anger Management classes conducted by Toni Soprano.
