December 2006

Our Sania ji’s sponsors must be quite happy after her recent Doha success. She has endorsed every brand she could lay her hands on. So here are the sponsors

1. Pendant from Kundan Jewellery

2. Bangles from Navratna

3. That SEKC nose ring from Hyderabad jewelers.

4. Lipstick from Levon

5. Belts and bags from ??? (I think a gift from her ever-young-just-30-going-on-31-Amma)

6. Swiss watch

Damn her ears are not visible!

I was just too desperate to write a post on this. Well anyone would be, isn’t it? Rendezvous with a prospective. The stage was all set for 12th of December for us to first meet at the Shaastri Park metro station and then together to Humayun’s Tomb (well now you know why on earth I went all the way to Delhi) for some private chit chat. I reached Delhi with absolutely no preparation in terms of clothing. Got up early on that auspicious day, ironed my clothes (nearly burned my pant; it was not showing any signs of ironing so I increased the temperature and then it got stuck!) but didn’t take bath as the chilling temperature was too much of a persuasive factor. Started an hour earlier so as to reach on time. Delhi buses never stop so you need to hob in to board them and then hop out while they are moving. They are more than packed and if the conductor were a student of chemistry then he would ask everyone to align themselves so as to allow maximum people in (as molecules align themselves in a crystal with minimum spacing).

Most surprisingly Lalu and Rabri devi have been acquitted in a assets case.

And after the acquittal our Railway Minister’s faith in judiciary was reinforced.

A visibly happy Lalu, in his first reaction outside the court, said: “We have got justice from court. We have full faith in the judiciary. The verdict has reinforced my faith in the judiciary,� he said.

Anyway there are many more cases still pending and I am sure that he won’t even live that long so as to get punished, Indian judiciary system you see!

Someone by the name Santhi Soundarajan isn’t sure of her gender. Or she is deliberately forcing people to consider her a woman because competition is easier compared to men. Anyway she even won a medal at the Doha games and now officials are in awe over this. Someone who wasn’t even selected for the Southern Railway team because of her controversial gender was selected in the Indian contingent to represent India at an international meet!
