Government

The major problem - one of the major problems, for there are several - one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.To summarize: it is a well known fact, that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to dothe job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

[from the book "The restaurant at the end of the universe" by Douglas Adams]

Re-elections in Karnataka because one set of people 'promised' to transfer power after a few months and another set 'actually believed' the first set.

And what's happening in the centre?
Something to do with nukes and progress and the US of A i gather. You guys tell me. I'm too far away to know for sure.

The worst review ever

Don’t ask y… but I ended up in a local amphi something theater watching dhoom 2.

Watched it for a bit… when hritik turns up for the first time, the girl next to me whistled… damn loud and shrill… my ear still rings. And I suffer an inferiority complex now… I cant whistle for nuts
And the movie went exactly as an old friend of mine had once summarized it.
Hritik wears his sunglasses, a chick sings dhoooom..dhoooom…dhoooooom
Hritik turns to the left, a chick sings dhoooom..dhoooom…dhoooooom
Hritik fakes left and turns to the right, a chick sings dhoooom..dhoooom…dhoooooom
Hritik walks towards the camera, a chick sings dhoooom..dhoooom…dhoooooom
Aishwarya pouts, a chick sings dhoooom..dhoooom…dhoooooom
Hritik flexes his biceps… a chick… u get the gist.


I cudnt take this after a while… worse, there was a kid to my right who wanted the ridiculously tall uncle to his left (me that is) to translate everything being said.
Like I can understand complex plots and all…

I walked out.

As for the girl to my left… We aren’t on talking terms now… or we probably are… not sure… I’m stone deaf to anything emanating from her mouth.

My mind's kinda clouded about the whole thing… u might get a better review someplace else.
