That’s Claudia Ciesla, the lady in the news recently. No that’s not why I posted the picture.
It’s seldom that in a picture with 2 ladies and that too when one of them is as fantabulous as Claudia that my eyes wonder over to the gentleman in the center, playing the role of a don.
But in this case, what else can one do?

Dhoni ki “baraah” inch dilayega Vishwacup. I have my doubts. Not so much about the Viswacup but about the “baraah” inch part. Though why he went from 1.5 feet to “baraah” inch I am struggling to understand. Maybe Sehwag’s mysterious “coming back home” may have something to do with the reduction.
To paraphrase John Donne “Any man’s muscle tear diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind.”

Hai Taiyyar Hum.
Yes sir. Nothing gets the caste kings of India, cutting across party lines, as “ready” as reservations. Only this time they are opposing it, tooth and nail, since it is not directly for themselves.
Afraid that if the Womans Bill goes through, many of them will be found occupying a “ladies seat” and thus be forced to vacate it, our favorite politicians are on the warpath.

ShareAre fake drugs manufactured in China being pushed into various African countries with the `Made in India’ tag? The Indian government has long suspected this to be the case, but it now has definite evidence for the first time.Last week, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) of Nigeria issued a press release stating that a large consignment of fake anti-malarial generic pharmaceuticals labelled `Made in India’ were, in fact, found to have been produced in China.New Delhi has registered “strong protest” with the Chinese mission and China’s foreign trade ministry, according to sources in the commerce ministry.While this is a case of a Chinese company exporting fake `Made in India’ labelled medicines which has been accidentally exposed, it is unlikely to be an isolated incident. Indeed there is no reason for Nigeria to be the only country to be receiving such consignments.”His letter went on to say: “Fake foreign-made generics carrying `Made in India’ label can do tremendous harm to our interests. It not only dents our image and takes our legitimate market share, it also erodes the distinction between generic and fake medicines that we have been campaigning for at WHO and WTO”.

And if there was any further proof needed of China’s malignant intents with respect to diminishing the image of India, here is a Chinese guy singing “Tujh Main Rab Dikta Hain” [Video] in a Chinese idol knockoff. [Link courtesy Suhel] in a not-so-pleasing voice.
With China’s tendency to make people lip-sync songs (as evidenced during the Olympics) and in general of “mislabeling” things, I would not be surprised if the voice behind the lips is that of a true-blue Indian, in on a plot to make Hindi music sound rather bad.
Did I say true-blue Indian? Make it a true-red Indian. Like the Great Carrot or the Marvelous Khichudi.

After the rip-roaring success of “Da Vinci Da Gupt Katha” comes the sequel “Pariyon Aur Haiwanon” (English: Angels and Demons), another nail-biting conspiracy thriller from the team of Dhan Brown, Ron Coward and Panty Shah.
In the world’s premier nuclear physics research facility CERN (Chattisgarh Entropy Research Nigam), Dr. Ganga (played by Mandira Bedi) , expert on super-string theory (she calls them noodle straps), has been able to isolate what high energy physicists call the Mamata particle, a sub-atomic “Nano” particle produced by colliding Jyoti Bosons.
The power of the M-particle is so enormous that if it comes in contact with matter, it will create a catastrophic explosion. So catastrophic in fact that there will never be any industry or prosperity within 250 miles of that cataclysm. Ever. Which is why Dr. Ganga keeps the M-particle in an egg-shaped vacuum chamber (called the Charu Sharma container) under high security.
