Furtive Affection

I was chuckling over Terri’s account of PDA at a ball game and, this being the patriotic season and all that, it set me to thinking about all the times I’ve had to pay attention to DAs, P or otherwise, as an Indian.
Human beings are social animals and Indians spend a lot of time worrying [...]

India…

Think about it.

Karl Rove Quits WH, Will Prophesy Instead

Karl Rove will exit the White House on August 31 to “spend more time orchestrating a whispering campaign against his family,” says Ann Marie Cox at the Swampland.
I think that’s a bit harsh. Rove is obviously leaving the White House to pursue other avenues of work - like soothsaying and crystal ball gazing. [...]

A Marriage Has Been Arranged

Bubbles was born into the remains of a colonial world, the daughter of a prominent nouveau riche family whose fortune, legend has it, rested upon three coconuts stolen by her illustrious father TN Gopalan, in whose honor was named a narrow street intersecting Mahatma Gandhi [...]

Mitt Romney is Entertaining

Rudy McRomney may be as Rudy McRomney does, but Mitt Romney is sure livening things up on the Republican front. Unless you’re a Republican, of course, in which case you might be a little unhappy. Or not. Coz after all, he sure smells great!

After all, it takes mucho grey cells to realize that nothing attracts more sympathy to your cause than throwing odd bits of furniture and anything else you can get your hands [...]

Living Legends of Sex

So here I was over at WWTDD, reading all about Denise Richards’ love of Charlie Sheen’s goodlooking sperm even if she can’t stand his actual person, when I found out he was #2 on Maxim’s list of Living Sex Legends.
Now, due to some reason or other, I haven’t been able to spend as much time [...]

Journalists Charged with Murder

I’ve always felt that Indian news channels were a bit rubbish but I didn’t know they were positively lethal. However, according to the police in Varanasi, that’s precisely what they are.
According to them, reporters from two news stations, IBN7 and Star News, along with local politicians incited a group of disabled roadside vendors to consume [...]

To Blog or Quit?

 
The Mad Momma wrote today that certain circumstances made her wonder if she would keep on blogging. I have just one thing to say in response: NOOOOOOOO!
