Siv Sena gets doomsday postponed in Mumbai - rest of the world to follow?

The Mayans did foresee a lot of stuff but even they won't have seen this morning's turn of events coming. In a bizarre announcement, Siv Sena leader Bhiku Matrey said 'We will not recognise Mayan doomsday or any other foreign doomsday. Any attempt at ending the world today will lead to dire consequences'
The veiled threat couldn't have been clearer to world-enders or world-ending sympathisers. Fall in line and don't dare end. Or prepare for something arguably worse than being ended.
'If at all anyone wants to end the world, the apt date will be when our supremo passed away, November 17th. This day will be called Chatrapaty Sivaji terminus day now' he added. Mistaking the press for supporters, he then lapsed into rhetoric,'The Mayans. First they took our flats, then they took our jobs. Now they want our days. We will not just stand here and do nothing'
This has led to a very angry but pointless response on twitterosphere with author Chetain Bagath arguing for and/or against capital punishment or some such thing.

Bhoopadhy to play doubles alone : All India Tennis Organisation

India's top seeded doubles player Magesh Bhoopadhy will be playing men's doubles at the Olympics by himself, as per the latest press release by AITO.
"We had a long session with Bhoopadhy and he broke down several times. Bhoopadhy messaged Gopanna last week regarding what was up and didn't receive a reply as to what was up. This seems to have caused a rift between the two. We had a choice of either playing Sania Mizra in men's doubles as well, seeking special permission, or to play Bhoopadhy alone. Given Sania's recent dismal form, we have decided in favour of the latter option. This is a tough challenge for him, but it's anyway only a matter of one match so we wish him the best of luck" the release said.

Love across bad poetry

Uncomfortably numb

Of highways and trees
and honey bees
Of endless nights
and several fights
i walk alone

Life passes by
i deeply sigh
feeling empty inside
taken by the tide
i walk alone

the tears flow
time goes slow
it's too late now
bye ciao

Mohan says
that's true
but it's not all blue
consider rainbow
so nice so aglow

or a warm fireplace
so much grace
on a wintry night
with snow so bright

alone you maybe
but look at nature, baby
the tears shall ebb
you are in nature's web

Mohan, will you marry me?

We won't underestimate India : Shaqeeb

Ahead of the historic India-Bangladesh 5-match test series, Bangladesh captain Shaqeeb Ahmed appeared guardedly confident in the press interaction.
'I know we begin as favourites. But that only means more pressure', he said with a smile.'We'll get complacent at our own peril. India's not won anything against us or any other team for the last 4 years, but don't forget it's the monsoons here so some matches could be abandoned. So it won't be a whitewash. They are going through a rough patch but on their day they could give us a run for their money.'
When asked about his plans for Kohlee, India's batting mainstay, the skipper wasn't amused. 'They aren't a one man show. If you look at the stats from last year, Kohlee made 75% of their runs, followed by extras which was 15%. So we have to watch our bowling' he said, showing the kind of homework that's gone into Bangladesh's preparation. 'It's also a good series to get some of our younger players a go at international cricket to see how they shape up before we play them in Australia later this year'. Can the Indian minions give this side a scare? It certainly looks unlikely for now.

Profundity - II

Cabbie(C) : These guys do religious propaganda because they have no other work.

Oh not again. Talkative cabbie and long drive ahead. I've got to do something to entertain myself other than switching off and doing those periodic 'uh uh's. Well, periodic 'uh uh's is exactly what I ended up doing, but here's how the conversation probably played out in the cabbie's head.

Me (M) : Why do you say that, old wise man? Please to partake of thy wisdom. I'm a young fool.
C: See, you are young, you don't know about these people. They have no work. They instigate other people.
M : You look like you believe there should be communal conflict.
C: I don't believe in fighting about one's God. You have your God. I have my God.
M: Oh lost you there. You are going too fast. Can you elaborate?
C: I have Hanuman. You might have Jesus.
M: Hmm. Nope. Still too fast for me.
C: Or you might have Allah. Another person might have Ganesh.
M: Just one more example to seal it, uncle, please?
C: Or you might say Ganesh. I might say Allah.
M: I thought we were born different, and so we should fight.
C: We were all born alike. So why fight? If I scratch your hand and if I scratch my hand, we'll get blood only.
M: Can you explain taking examples of some other liquids?
C: It's not like if you scratch my hand you'll get blood and if you scratch your hand you will get water.
M: Also someone told me we will take some stuff with us when we die. Is that true?
C: What can we take with us when we die? When we live, we should live well.
M: But I still think the Koran and the Gita are two different books. Not same books at all. I tried on flipkart.
C: If you see the Koran and the Gita, both are same. Both say the same thing. Do good to others. Don't do bad stuff to others.
M: Maybe not the books, but I think the Gods definitely recommend hurting others.
C: Which God recommends killing others? You tell me. Do Allah or Jesus or Ganesh say hurt others?
M: But don't people benefit at a fundamental level from harming each other?
C: Who benefits from fighting each other? You think.
M: Hockey stick manufacturers? Hospitals? I don't know.
C: Politicians! Finally everything is politics. These youth - they just repeat what they see in films or what someone tells them. No original talk.

Right. So you wrote the dialogues for Krantiveer?

M: I think these youngsters are self-aware and know what they are getting into.
C: These fools don't realise this. They do propaganda because they have no other work.

Yay! One religion-to-politics loop takes just 15 mins. Approximately 3 more loops to go - seems tolerable. God - I don't care what you think about world peace but please let there not be a traffic jam today.

Vinay Kumaar sets pace record : Clocks 200 kmph off the bat

Indian quickie Vinay Kumaar's bowling was the source of some solace for the beleaguered Indian team at Perth on Saturday. One of his well disguised faster deliveries, bowled at a pace of 120 kmph, was smashed out of the ground by Aussie opener David Warrner. The speed gun showed a launch speed from Warrner's bat of 200 kmph, which is a new record in world cricket. Interestingly the previous record was also held by Vinay Kumaar from an IPL match.
Warrner said, 'It was a bit tricky in the beginning - I found myself playing 2-3 shots before the ball arrived. But then we decided to play him as a spinner who doesn't get turn, and we were able to score off him easily. Ridiculously easily, in fact. Maybe I could have converted some of the fours into sixes but then no regrets.' When asked about the 200 kmph record, he said 'All credit should go to Vinay, for bowling in the right areas. I think he's proved what he said about pace not being such a big deal at this level'.
Vinay, however wasn't very happy with his bowling. 'I think I need to control my raw pace a little more, maybe stabilise in the 110-115 kmph range. This record itself won't even last for 2 matches if I play, trust me' he said with a smile.
