I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away and I've done the math enuf to know the danger's of a second guessing.


Chak De!

The Caption/Punch line craze has reached India. Not sure if every country has one, but about a year back I realized that the Aussies have one and it was pretty cool to listen them chant. We saw the effects during the Australian Open, World Series of Poker etc.... I mean almost anywhere the Aussies went, they carried this along - Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oye Oye Oye !!

Chak De India! is the one that I'm talking about. If not for the latest SRK film by the same name, I'm sure we would have gone without one for some more time. Be it Football, Hockey or Cricket - one can see the Chak De moment spreading like a virus. The Media is playing a big role in promoting it big time by organizing shows and even airing news headlines by the same name wink. Another stunt to grab some attention. With a lurking danger of mid-term polls in sight - I wonder what would happen if our politicians take a shot at this. I can only hope that they don't.

We now have a Chak De moment, My Chak De moment, My own proud Chak De moment, My biggest Chak De moment and what not !

BTW anyone talking about the movie at all? How're the responses?

What do you mean you've run out of chloroform?


... one of the entries into the "Caption competition" on BBC Magazine Monitor. The winning entry, however, was - "Weren't you wearing a watch before we started?" :P

Over and Out

One of the most devastating defeats in the tennis world yesterday. Matchup between Federer n Roddick and the scores suggest what happened in Melbourne yesterday. 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 -- Federer completely embarrassed Roddick, thereby entering the Finals of Australian Open in style.

I'm not sure who could stop FedEx but having seen Roddick play for the past 3-4 years I know that he's not the one. Head to head stats show a staggering 13-1 record in favor of the Swiss with the only loss coming way back in '04 at Montreal. All Roddick had to say was "It was frustrating. It was miserable. It sucked. It was terrible. Besides that, it was fine,".

He might have lost his Mojo again (not that I've seen him find it in the past) ... somebody please find his Mojo !! The Mojo girl has reached the finals this year though, Sharapova defeated Clijsters pretty easily.

Back to the drawing board - Andy !!
