Rambling Again
Go to Zine5 Interactive

Since I cannot conceive of anything to write about, I'm giving myself the liberty to ramble on.

Does this country really need another temple or mosque? Certainly the peoples are not wanting of yet another place of worship? I'm sure 67 odd acres of land can be put to better use without invoking the wrath of God or inspiring rabid mobs of mortals to murder with impunity. Build a school, build a hospital. God knows this country could use facilities for education and healthcare. A temple or a mosque will not serve any purpose of consequence, unless you are a furry being called Ramchandra Das Paramhans. What his purpose is is a point to ponder. In fact I suggest a correctional facility for all the goons in the country that masquerade as a ram sevak or a jehadi. Stick them in there and subject them to recordings of Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. For one Simi can teach them how to be graciously sympathetic towards others.

Let me confess that I am a closet Rendezvous with Simi Garewal watcher. For those who don't know, Kareena Kapoor spent three months at Harvard studying - hold your breath - Microcomputers and Information Technology!! A photograph of her with a Harvard cap was shown to prove the fact. It was not what she wanted to do since she hates computers. She thought Harvard would be a 'party.' It apparently was not, which is why she's now a Bollywood princess. Last week I saw a baby-faced Yash Birla looking most unlike an industrialist. The guy had primped auburn hair and gray lenses, and just too much makeup on. His wife Avanti seemed dim and matched him makeup-wise. Yash must have pissed Simi off as he had on a ridiculous turquoise blue waistcoat. Simi likes her guests to complement the sets and her.

JJ is back. No surprises there. The plastic chair OP sat on has been put away and the throne is back in place. A guy called Chinnaraas has put up posters calling JJ "Puratchi Paati" or revolutionary grandmother. I can see that JJ is going to take umbrage to being called grandmother, revolutionary or otherwise. I think Chinnaraas may be secretly having a go at JJ. Apparently JJ gave him that name. And who in his right mind is going to appreciate a name like Chinnaraas? What you sow, you shall reap! But Chinnaraas' days as a JJ sycophant are numbered.

Ok that's it. This is as interesting or funny as I get this week.
