Good Morning Monday. Hmmm.. You are here again to pull me out of my cozy quilt. Since the day I am introduced to you I wished you missed your date with new week. But you come week after week without fail. Wonder why don’t you go on sick leave or take a casual leave.
 
But then on second thought, If you don’t come the life would not move.  There will be no office and no work. There will be no motivation to work and even no excitement to look forward to the weekend. What is the …

Three more days of agonizing wait when I’ll get to see my bank account buzz with my monthly funding (My Salary But of course). On my shopping list would be grocery, vegetables, household stuff and woof… my account will be looking like a desert by 10th of the month.
This left me wondering what people with fat balances have on their shopping list. Many like to sprulz on themselves, some like to go on world tour, few will buy private planes and liners and for fewer it will mean real serious …

Prince Charles of Great Britain has become the longest waiting Prince in queue to the thrown. And what a wait.. more than 59 years. Long live the queen.
But then it reminds of difference between Purab and Paschim. Where else but in so called under developing nations like India and Pakistan one would sacrifice the power and chair for the children.
Not to glorify anyone but earlier Ms. Gandhi and now Mr. Zardari has taken chosen to pave way for their children (People may choose to call this political compulsions).

Harbhajan’s controversial spat with Symond has come to an end. The outcome though was bit predictable with BCCI literally arm-twisted the cricketing giant with a threat to abandon the tour. So the charges against our turbunator were mellowed.  Now, we will have Harbhajan and Symond once again battling it out at field in the upcoming one dayers.
Whatever it may be but cricket is no longer seems to be a Gentleman’s game for sure.
