Random thoughts

One headline that caught my attention today was that a family from Kerala was asked to get down from an Emirates flight. No. No terrorist connections. Some thing worse than that. Age old Mom-in-law Vs Daughter-in-law feud. The flight had just gotten on the runway, when this lady couldn't resist taking repeated swipes against her mom-in-law, resulting in saying goodbye to fellow passengers. Well, seems like this cat fight has come a long way from kitchen to mid-air. Which makes me wonder why do women have this traditional weakness of not getting along well among themselves. Maybe one of those things which Men will never understand. You put 5 girls in a room. They will form 5 groups. Simple math.

Seems like the film world is so bent on getting Sania Mirza to act in films. Apparently, they need to look beyond what she wears and understand that she plays a game called tennis. And there are objections from you-name-it-they-call-it organizations against her dress code during games. It might be difficult to understand, but worthy to point out that 'purdah' might not be a good wear when you have to run around. Leave the girl alone..for God's sake!

West virginia Miners' tragedy was really bad. Getting trapped far below sea level, with no oxygen and no light, waiting for the death, which takes its own sweet time - worst way to die! A note was found from one of the bodies recovered, which read 'Tell all, I ll see them on the other side. It wasnt that bad. I just went to sleep'. I wish it was that simple!

The worst thing about ending a relationship is getting used to forget things that you had gotten used to.
