This is one advantage of having a virtual absence of visitors on your blog – you can come and go as you please. This posting comes after a long time but I can rest assured of no admonitions.
While I was away there has been a whole gamut of happenings – from the positively gruesome like Nithari to uplifting ones like the Mattoo and Jessica verdicts. And yes, the popcorn fare – like Abhiash & Shilpa “Big Brother” recently.
Nithari is horrific actually – so much so that sometimes you feel you are being taken through some film plot. Wish it were so.
The court verdicts gave us hope that given a reason good enough, our much ridiculed system and public have the capacity to rise above the “chalta hai – hota hai” attitude which we are all so infamous for.
And how can I forget the very recent Abhiash phenomenon? Forgive me if your sensibilities are hurt but I must admit that I read this news on the front page before I read any other serious fare. And I was happy for both of them. Now, please do not start that bit about “begaani shaadi mein…..”
About this Shilpa Shetty affair – her being ridiculed on the Big Brother UK, what I feel about the whole issue is very succinctly presented in an article in the Hindi daily “Dainik Amar Ujala” dated 18th Jan’07. Too bad I can not paste the link here because of some technical incompetence on my part.
Will close this post here, while promising myself that I would try to be more regular.
