captain of the heart!

There was this real nice girl in my class who was not among the favs with the teachers. Was percieved to be dull and unfocussed by some of her peers. A very giggly uncomplicated and a fun loving person. Years later she started to play hockey for the school team. She excelled in the sports, became the national goal keeper and then the national team captain. Recently felicited by the Karnataka government, a truly deserving champion..daughter of Mr.Innocent. Will always love her for what she was and is. Never tried impressing anyone.

Magic Johnson hits the big drum and declares in a booming voice. It was a time to remember alright.. On a Sunday it was suddenly Eric Clapton who brought 'Tears in Heaven'. Was it Tears for Fears who said 'Everybody wants to rule the world?'. DesRee and Terence Trent Darby with the silken 'Delicate', 24 by 7 taking to you a fast paced 'Take me away", Bon Jovi keeping the faith, Guns N' Roses welcoming you to the jungle with Axl Rose's sexy hairdo in 'Yesterday'.

So did a few more million fans. India had stepped into liberalisation. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh had 'freed' India from License Raj Economy. The youth were ...

C’mon here, shine on me Oh la la la la! La la la la! Tags: usain bolt poem 2008 olympics gold medalist fastest man on earth

The Love Guru

Scene:The Love Guru D R A M A, Oprah-Deepak Chopra, Guru Pitka's ashram, Rajneesh, Toronto maple leaves, Gnomes, Alligators-Snappy and quick, Nuts in a sling etc are the key words in the latesht Mike Myers buster 'The Loveeeeeeee Guru'. Watch it just for the sake of absurdity. Rent a DVD or wait for the movie channels to bring it to your homes but do watch it! Especially if you are from the South Asian community and want to have a dig at your own expense. The movie is silly and trivial but hilarious in pockets. The meeting between Jessica Alba and Mike Myers starts off with an old Bollywood song of reincarnation which is real cute, dolloped with a few vulgarly 'humur'ous sequences and an item number by the lead pair. Ben Kingsley is wasted in the role of Mike Myer and Deepak Chopra's teacher.
