Do such things really happen? An italian lady (No, not Sonia Gandhi) suffering from a terrible headache quipped to her co-passenger that ‘She had a bomb on her head’. Immediately the alert (?) Co-Passenger tipped the air hostess. Result? The flight was stopped, searched and delayed. The italian lady is still being interrogated! Do read how Slimes has reported the same incident.
“What is a dream for many — having a “bomb” of a co-passenger on a long flight — turned out to be a nightmare at the Delhi Airport on Saturday evening. ”Anyways. Coming to the point, typing Alert Co-Passenger is cumbersome. So for this post sake, Alert Co-Passenger will be called as ass
Did you know that I know mind reading? Here are my guesses
1. The ass subscribes to Times of India
2. Ass watches CNN-IBN/NDTV regularly. Especially the breaking news section
3. Ass has always longed to be in the media glare atleast once in lifetime.
There are many asses in the world. Media Managers spend their time and energy, catering to these masses. Now. Lets see, what future holds for us
*Mallika Sherawat detained at Heathrow, London after a NRI ass mentioned her as a ’sex bomb’.
Actor Mallika Sherawat flew to London, since she was acting in the tamil version of the popular Hindi Flick DDLJ. The name of the movie is ‘DeepavaLikku thuNi eduthu thachaacha’. The movie is to be directed by P Vasu. When Mallika was at the immigration counter, a NRI ass ogled at Mallika and uttered ‘She is a sex bomb’. The immigration officials immediately surrounded Mallika and interrogated her. Mallika refused to be searched in private(:P), and she demanded to be searched in public. Some asses missed this action, and were seen screaming ‘Once More’ to the interrogation officials.
*Black Money unearthed.
IT officials came up with an innovative idea to unearth black money. IT officials dressed as yama (or his equivalent in other religions), mentioned ‘What the hell?’ a bit loudly. Immediately, the asses next to them wondered whether they were really in HELL. Some even tried to switch on their mobile phones to check if there was network connectivity in hell, and whether it was covered in National Roaming(?). At that moment, the IT officials mentioned to the asses they will be sent to heaven if they confessed where their black money was hidden. The air hostesses were showcased as angels of heaven to lure the asses. The trick worked, and IT officials got crucial information with respect to black money.
*Vivek Oberoi suspected of Poaching Actor Vivek Oberoi was returning from jaipur to Mumbai, after shooting a song sequence for his latest film. He mentioned to an ass next to him, that he generally doesnt take care of his finances and ‘passed the buck’ to his dad. The moment the flight landed in mumbai, the ass went to the police station and registered a complaint against Vivek Oberoi for smuggling bucks. Sources say that the ass was a big fan of Salman Khan.

I never knew a movie called Provoked was being made. It was a pleasant surprise, when I found that A.R.Rahman was composing the music.
Check out the theme music here. Neat
The movie has Aishwarya Rai, Nandita Das and others. looking at the trailer, it looks like a story based on domestic violence somewhere abroad. They mention its based on a true story. Hmmm!
Via: A.R.Rahman Fans
Update:
Some more samples 1,2,3,4,5. Enjaai!
Roger Draper takes over British Tennis Association. Good
‘Former Davis Cup captain David Lloyd says the need for change is motivated by “the LTA syndrome”, which he says is “defeatist, insular and doesn’t look for the best people”‘ - Fine. Agreed.
“Greg Rusedski, Tim Henman and now Andy Murray are great players but their success is hiding the reality that behind them British tennis players are absolutely abysmal.”
–> What?????????????????
In the past 3 months, I had taken 3 different flights of Kingfisher. Looks like there is a Kingfisher frequent flier programme, for people who have travelled in 3 or more flights. Remember reading vaguely somewhere. But I had forgotten it.
Yesterday, I got a mail from kingfisher, asking why I havent registered for the frequent flier programme yet. And a complimentary flight too 
And not just this. The KF waiting lounges(For frequent fliers) are extremely good. They have PC’s with internet connection. You can browse as much you want. And yes. Complimentary drinks(alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and food provided as well. When I was in mumbai sometime back, I was lucky enough to be in the lounge for a while.
There was no delay in any of the flights I had travelled!
Moral of the story: Fly Kingfisher
When Lok Paritran was formed, there was so much hype. The new India. The change everyone(?) was waiting for. Needless to mention the spam mails asking me to register in their site, vote for them etc. I even remember one reader accusing me of being a critic and not writing anything about them
Ok. Now I am writing about them. Initially I was not very sure what these guys(LP) were upto. I saw their website, their interviews etc etc. They proudly claimed that they will remove corruption, make administrative processes transparent etc etc. Well. They didnt mention how. The first impression I got of Lok Paritran’s attitude was ‘We know everything’. Unfortunately as the elections neared, even the LP supporters got into that ‘I know everything’ attitude.
Yesterday I saw this link from IdlyVadai. Frankly speaking I was really surprised. These guys seem to have got lots of votes in the recent elections. And so many youngsters put in lots of effort to campaign for this party. Shouldnt they have used these votes to strengthen their presence and contest in the upcoming panchayat elections?Instead they get into ego clashes and split.
Am happy I voted for Vijayakanth!
Any idea how this is? Am thinking of buying something like this, so that I can record some good races/matches(Now that FIFA 2006 is nearing) and some good songs.
I checked out with a dealer near Jayadeva hospital, bannerghatta road. He says it costs around 4.5 to 5K. Would like to know if its worth it
