What You Missed...

.
...And I feel obligated to cover. In all fairness, I wanted a holiday and so I ditched the blog and sped off to Spain to spend the mid-week drinking, eating, dancing and generally whoring this blog. 'Cause nothing says 'desperate bitch, ole!' like pleading with the Spanish to read a blog that they won't understand and don't really wish to relate to.

I don't know what I'm trying to convey with that. Maybe I should stick with the conventional "I was down with the flu and needed a few days for my blood stream to purify itself from all the life-threatening viruses". Ah, well...


What we missed in the last 48 hours:

1) Jarnail Singh, a journalist, a Sikh and therefore extremely anti-Jagdish Tytler, the guy who has been proved responsible for the Sikh riots in 1984. Yesterday, we found out that he was also an angry young man with balls probably the size of melons, since he threw a shoe (a Reebok, I might add) at P. Chidambaram, our beloved Home Minister at a press conference. Dammit! I always wanted to be the one who did that! He wasn't arrested and P.C. forgave him for his rash actions. Somewhere, the other Reebok shoe is twitching uncontrollably, both to strike P.C. in the face and because it really misses its partner.


2) SRK and Aamir Khan (who apparently still thinks he's playing Sanjay Singhania) reconciled in front of media personnel to fight against a multiplex row where producers of films want to make a 50-50 revenue sharing deal with multiplexes that show their movies. You know what they say: A friend in need is a friend indeed. They also say: When there's going to be an increase in your paycheck, its OK to sell your soul to the devil.

3) The Tata Nano seems to have a slight glitch in the hood (See? I made a funny!) as early reports say that since registration started on April 1st, only 51,000 reservations were made out of the 150,000 expected. Then again, since Ratan Tata is involved, I can safely bet that things will run smoothly within a few weeks. I think that guy has actual magic on his fingertips...

4) SRK just can't stay out of the spotlight for a little while. Quick rundown: SRK's Kolkata Knight Riders team has four captains now. Sunil Gavaskar, who oozes cricket as he moves around thanks to his long and successful career in the field, criticized the actor's decisions because, you know, it's a free country and you're definitely allowed your opinion. But the King of All Opinions didn't really agree with this and, in a summarized form, ask the veteran cricketer to shut the hell up. Wise move, genius.


5) Kareena Kapoor still can't act. Shocker.




6) Narendra Modi gave a kickass interview with Arnab Goswami of Times Now and I totally enjoyed it, considering Modi and Advani have been the only people who have diplomatically (so polite that it hurt) told Arnab to STFU. This is only one out of three parts of the interview, so lift up your flabby forearms and scroll around Youtube to find the rest.
