People and Poodle

Munaf Patel - Either get a haircut or bowl fast.

Now, one will talk about Ishant's hair style too. No offense meant to him but on the first look I thought his hairstyle resembled a Poodle. The comparison stops there - he has been a hound down under.

Talking about the usage of Poodle to refer people, nothing can beat the reference to Tony Blair as George Bush's Poodle.

Joke of the year

This has to be the joke of the years 2007, 2008 and 2009. In an even lighter vein,

S: Manmohan Singh is the boss of UPA
M: என்னைய வெச்சு ஒண்ணும் காமெடி கீமெடி பண்ணலியே?

700 for Hollywood

Back after a big time hibernation from this space...

Shane Keith "Hollywood" Warne has just taken his 700th wicket in test cricket. The victim - Andrew Strauss, clean bowled.

The crowd at the MCG is going absolutely berserk. I am going back to catch up the action... :-)

Peter Boyle is no more

Peter Boyle better known as Frank Barone of Everybody Loves Raymond fame is no more. He is easily one of the best comedians if not the best, I've ever come across in sitcoms - the non-chalance with which he renders his dialogue, the timing, the expressions, he is easily on top of the league. No doubt, everyone will now be missing "Holy Crap"

Here is more about Frank

Simply Laloo

Read this piece somewhere. I was ROFL after reading!

You would probably remember that there were elections in Bihar last year. And canvassing was happening just around the time when the preparations for budget would have started ideally.

Some Reporter: Sir, Railway budget is around the corner. And you are here canvassing in Bihar?!?

Laloo: Arrey, Dictason dhe chuke hoon. Kaafi log us par kaam kar rahe hain.

The seriousness of the question would have been blown away by this beauty of a reply!

At Laaaaaaaast...

A very very special weekend in recent times... Quite a few things made the weekend memorable but one Mr.X made it absolutely special!

The kick off was with our company's Annual day on Friday - one of the most wonderful evenings i've spent. These occasions are indeed a great forum to meet people and have your dose of fun. Meeting people whom we haven't met for more than six months is certainly a great feel. And after that if people like Kadri Gopalnath, Srinivas, Anuradha Sriram and Shobana mesmerize you to their tunes, you just can't ask for anything better. A slightly different perspective would certainly help us imbibe a lot of positives on the career front as well. This evening would stay in my heart for a long long time.

Next was Michael magic in Bahrain. The new qualifying rules are good and it was pure Michael magic. And Ferrari does make Felipe Massa look awesome. Ferrari is back.

Now, the special one.... Guess what is it?? One Mr.X of a katchi (adimatta thondar pa) came at around 6.30PM and showed me the voter list and boy! my name was atlaaaaaaaast included in the list. Now, after being forced to miss exercising my franchise for 4 elections in a row over 5 years simply because of inefficient funtioning of the concerned officials, this news certainly made me jump over the moon and so should I be!

And to top this, my close friend has returned from abroad... A great weekend indeed :-)
