Faced an occupational hazard and went to bed after being awake 48 hours - between two women! I KNOW that hasn’t happened to me in a very long time. One of them had an early flight and left before I woke up which meant I woke up next to a woman I had never slept with (hehe) before. Delicious, I kid you not. I don’t think she knows I have a blog and I doubt she’ll ever read this so I know I won’t be killed heh heh.
I then had to visit my father who’s in the hospital post a small surgery. Now I stay 3 kms away from the hospital and no auto-wallah wanted to take me home so I did the next best thing - hopped onto an honest to God RTC bus, something I haven’t done in many, many years. It even cost me all of 4 bucks! I even ‘footboarded’ for most of the journey and its as much fun as I will ever have in a vehicle that big.
I then came home and turned the telly on and subjected myself to some CNN-IBN. If Rajdeep Sardesai and his band of merry men (and women) had a buck everytime they said ‘exclusively to CNN-IBN’ on air they would make many bucks on any given day. What the heck does that mean anyhoo?
CNN-IBN put on The Colonel on the mat by airing his interview (exclusively to CNN-IBN) that made somewhat of a mockery of the Indian selection process. It would appear that our very own Dravidian has incredible powers of persuasion and ensured Sehwag was on the World Cup bus even though our selectors wanted none of it. I think VVS needs to spend more time with RD to make sure he gets some more time in the middle.
Finally ended the evening’s entertainment by watching the dada on a program called Being Sourav Ganguly. It’s amazing how much the man has mellowed and turned into this outstanding human being. The arrogance that was synonymous with the man seems to be a thing of the past and the Dada has become a case-study for all those motivational speakers out there. My favourite part of the interview - when asked if he was a ‘good bad boy’ or a ‘bad good boy’ he simply said ‘I am a boy’. Very cool, Mr. G. More power to you.
More later.
