An update on my second one....He is growing fast, so fast that we may have to change his house.
Hey I am talking about my goldfish. The bowl isn't big enough for him anymore. We are thinking of buying a tank so that we can get some friends for him. Strange..whether it is my daughter or the fish, I am worrying about getting playmates for them both. But the best update is that Bish (my husband) has also started talking to him. :) I found Bish apologising to Goldie for delaying his meal by a half hour.

Happy to know a celebrity put India's name on the map in a positive manner. Vijender Singh has become World no 2 in International Boxing 75kgs category. Congratulations to you Vijender. Way to go!!! Finally, we have a sportsman among us.
Meanwhile SRK created a ruckus about spending an hour aside at immigrations in US. I had been sent into a room the first time I traveled to UK. Because some idiot had not updated my health records. I had to prove I was healthy enough to enter UK. Fortunately, I had my X -Rays and med reports with me. Another Indian lady traveling alone had the misfortune to find out at the immigration counter, she had TB and was therefore to be stopped from entering UK. Wonder why no one told her before she left her country.
The UK guy looked badly overworked and ready to fuse. While traveling to US, we had a smooth transition. Should SRK have created such a ruckus? Considering the way celebrities (especially Americans) behave, I guess so. But I was really cheesed to see the Indian governtment and public crying foul, when hardly anyone said a word about Ex President APJ Kalam being frisked by an international airline. That is way beyond insulting.
I would love to hand over dear Mr Bush to the paan chewing paandus at Mumbai airport. Then maybe these Americans will learn to respect other people. They have their pride, these Americans, but it borders to insolence in most.
And we Indians can't ever get rid of white-skin worshipping, can we???
I don't see what the big deal about SRK and Kalam is? Why should they be given any special treatment, in India or elsewhere then an ordinary citizen?
ReplyDeleteWould there be so much hue and cry if it was Sanjay Dutt? Personally I would want Dutt to be cavity-searched before hopping on any public transportation.
Also who do you want immigration to stop and question? They have to apply some filter. What if SRK last name was Bin Laden instead of Khan? Would it be justified then? Unless we want every single person to be stopped, searched and questioned, some common sense has to be used for the overall good.
May peace prevail.

I agree with everything except for Mr Kalam. He is our Ex President and he has to be accorded due respect because of his position. Can you imagine what will US do if Clinton, or even Jimmy Carter was searched???
